 to obtain a user's presence status.
{    
  "method":"RegisterTempRemotePresence",
  "params":
    {
      "contactId":"sip:user_1@example.com"
    },
  "id":"c58",
  "jsonrpc":"2.0"
}
If the request is successful, 
BEMS
 sends the following response to the 
BlackBerry Connect
 app and processes the request.
{
  "id":"c58",     
  "error":null,
  "result": 
    {
     "data": 
      {
       "method":"RegisterTempRemotePresence",
       "state":"PROCESSING"
      }
    },
   "jsonrpc":"2.0",
   "background":false
}
If there are no errors, 
BEMS
 sends the following notification to the 
BlackBerry Connect
 app and displays the user's updated presence status.
{
   "id":"c58",
   "sequence":1018691100000047,
   "result": 
    {
     "data": 
      {
       "method":"RegisterTempRemotePresence",
       "state":"COMPLETE"
      }
    },
   "jsonrpc":"2.0"
}
