Zusammenfassung:	A method, medium and implementing processing system and device are provided in which the personal availability status of an office occupant is selectively and/or automatically displayed on an electronic nameplate mounted on the outside of the office door. In one example, the nameplate device is capable of logging-on to a status database of an instant messaging (IM) application running on an IM server and requesting the status of a designated individual. The IM application responds to the nameplate request to transmit a personal status of the identified individual as kept in the status database of the server to the nameplate, and that status is stored within the nameplate memory. The status information may be automatically or selectively displayed on the nameplate to notify those viewing the nameplate of the current personal availability of the office occupant.
