Passive outdial support for mobile devices via WAP push of an MVSS URL
View Patent ↗A Mobile Voice Self Service (MVSS) system that may include an MVSS mobile device and a client system. The system may be used to provide passive outdial support for a mobile device via WAP Push of an MVSS URL. The MVSS mobile device may have various local applications such as a bootstrap application and an outdial application. The client system may include an application server to deliver an MVSS file to the MVSS mobile device.
1. A Mobile Voice Self Service (MVSS) system, comprising:
an MVSS mobile device comprising a bootstrap application, a Media Resource Gateway, and an outdial application; and
a client system comprising an application server configured to deliver an MVSS configuration file to the MVSS mobile device, wherein
the MVSS file is configured to launch the bootstrap application to load the outdial application, and
the MVSS configuration file is an XML-based configuration file comprising configuration settings of the Media Resource Gateway, a Call Data Manager, and a URL of an intended VoiceXML target.
2. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS file is delivered via a WAP Push message.
3. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the WAP Push message comprises a URL of the MVSS file.
4. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outdial application comprises a VoiceXML application.
5. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein upon receipt of the MVSS file, the bootstrap application is configured to load the outdial application to run locally on the MVSS mobile device.
6. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the client system further comprises advanced MRCP services comprising at least one of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-To-Speech (TTS).
7. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS mobile device further comprises a Global Positioning System (GPS) component configured to provide location-based services to a user of the MVSS mobile device.
8. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS mobile device is operable in at least one of a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network and a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network.
9. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS mobile device comprises at least one of a cellular telephone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and a smart phone.
10. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the client system further comprises a CTI management server, and a call data manager is configured to communicate telephony events associated with a telephone call of the MVSS mobile device to the CTI management server.
11. A method for delivering an outdial voice application to a mobile device, comprising:
sending, from a client system, a WAP Push message to the mobile device, the WAP Push message configured to launch a bootstrap application;
launching, at the mobile device, the bootstrap application upon receipt of the WAP Push message; and
loading an outdial application using the bootstrap application after the bootstrap application is launched, wherein
the mobile device comprises a Media Resource Gateway,
the WAP Push message comprises a URL of an MVSS configuration file, and
the MVSS configuration file is an XML-based configuration file comprising configuration settings of the Media Resource Gateway, a Call Data Manager, and a URL of an intended VoiceXML target.
12. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the MVSS file is configured to initiate the launching of the bootstrap application.
13. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the outdial application comprises a VoiceXML application.
14. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein upon receipt of the MVSS file, the bootstrap application loads the outdial application to run locally on the mobile device.
15. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the URL is directed to a VoiceXML browser for internal processing by the VoiceXML browser.
16. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for delivering an outdial voice application to a mobile device, the instructions configured to cause a processor to:
send a WAP Push message to the mobile device, the WAP Push message configured to launch a bootstrap application;
launch the bootstrap application upon receipt of the WAP Push message; and
load an outdial application using the bootstrap application after the bootstrap application is launched, wherein
the mobile device comprises a Media Resource Gateway,
the WAP Push message comprises a URL of an MVSS configuration file, and
the MVSS configuration file is an XML-based configuration file comprising configuration settings of the Media Resource Gateway, a Call Data Manager, and a URL of an intended VoiceXML target.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the MVSS file is configured to initiate the launching of the bootstrap application.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the outdial application comprises a VoiceXML application.
19. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the Media Resource Gateway is configured to bridge communication between a VoiceXML browser and MRCP services provided by a MRCP Speech Recognition Server, a MRCP TTS Server, or both.
20. The method as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising:
bridging communication, by the Media Resource Gateway, between a VoiceXML browser and MRCP services provided by a MRCP Speech Recognition Server, a MRCP TTS Server, or both.
