MRCP resource access control mechanism for mobile devices
View Patent ↗A system and method for Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) access control for a mobile device. An entity requesting to utilize MRCP resources establishes a relationship with a MRCP resource provider. The MRCP resource provider maintains account information for the entity, and the entity receives a unique account number for identification purposes. The entity requests from the MRCP resource provider generation of at least one MRCP access PIN associated with the account information, and provides a data string associated with the MRCP access PIN to the MRCP resource provider.
1. A method for Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) access control for a mobile device, comprising:
establishing a relationship between an entity requesting to utilize MRCP resources and a MRCP resource provider;
maintaining account information for the entity;
receiving a request from the entity to generate at least one MRCP access Personal Identification Number (PIN), wherein the at least one MRCP access PIN is generated by the MRCP resource provider;
receiving, with the request, a data string to be associated with the at least one generated MRCP access PIN from the entity, wherein the data string includes cross-check data which is used to determine if a Media Resource transaction will be allowed; and
associating the at least one generated MRCP access PIN to an account of the entity and the data string.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the entity, a unique account number identifying the entity.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the entity, a plurality of account numbers, each of the plurality of account numbers is associated with a different campaign.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein further comprising receiving, by the entity, sub-accounts that are separately maintained.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the mobile device, a session ID upon establishing a session with the entity.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the session ID is unique during the session.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one MRCP access PIN is unique to the session.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one MRCP PIN is associated with the session at the point in time when the MRCP resources are required in the session.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein credentials selected from the group consisting of the account information, the MRCP access PIN, cross-check data, session ID, and session expiration are sent to the MRCP resource provider.
10. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing billing information utilizing the at least one MRCP access PIN and the session ID.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) access control for a mobile device, the instructions for:
establishing a relationship between an entity requesting to utilize MRCP resources and a MRCP resource provider;
maintaining account information for the entity;
receiving a request to generate at least one MRCP access Personal Identification Number (PIN), wherein the at least one MRCP access PIN is generated by the MRCP resource provider;
receiving, with the request, a data string to be associated with the at least one generated MRCP access PIN from the entity, wherein the data string includes cross-check data which is used to determine if a Media Resource transaction will be allowed; and
associating the at least one generated MRCP access PIN to an account of the entity and data string.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions for receiving a unique account number identifying the entity.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions for receiving a plurality of account numbers, wherein each of the account numbers is associated with a different campaign.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions for receiving sub-accounts that are separately maintained.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions for receiving a session ID upon establishing a session with the entity.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the session ID is unique during the session.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the at least one MRCP access PIN is unique to the session.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the at least one MRCP access PIN is associated with the session at the point in time when the MRCP resources are required in the session.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions for sending credentials selected from the group consisting of the account information, the MRCP access PIN, cross-check data, session ID, and session expiration to the MRCP resource provider.
20. A system for Media Resource Control (MRCP) access control for a mobile device, the system comprising: a MRCP resource provider configured to provide MRCP resources; and
an entity configured to request the MRCP resources from the MRCP resource provider, wherein the MRCP resource provider is further configured to maintain account information for the entity,
the entity is further configured to request generation of a MRCP access Personal Identification Number (PIN) from the MRCP resource provider, the at least one MRCP access PIN generated by the MRCP resource provider,
the entity is further configured to provide a data string to be associated with the at least one generated MRCP access PIN to the MRCP resource provider,
wherein the data string includes cross-check data which is used to determine if a Media Resource transaction will be allowed; and
the MRCP resource provider further configured to associate the at least one generated MRCP access PIN to an account of the entity and the data string.
