Abstract

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.

Claims (32)

1. A Mobile Voice Self Service (MVSS) system, comprising:

an MVSS mobile device comprising a bootstrap application and an outdial application, the MVSS mobile device configured to:

receive a WAP Push message comprising a URL linking to an MVSS file;

responsive to receiving the WAP Push message, use the URL to link to the MVSS file, and use the MVSS file to launch the bootstrap application; and

load the outdial application using the bootstrap application, wherein

the MVSS file is configured to launch the bootstrap application to load the 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 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 outdial application comprises a VoiceXML application.

3. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a client system configured to deliver an MVSS file to the MVSS mobile device.

4. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the client system further comprises advanced MRCP services comprising at least one of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-To-Speech (TTS).

5. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS mobile device further comprises a Global Positioning System (GPS) component to provide location-based services to a user of the MVSS mobile device.

6. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS mobile device is configured to operate in at least one of a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network and a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network.

7. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS mobile device is configured to operate in a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network.

8. 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 smartphone.

9. A method for delivering an outdial voice application to a mobile device, comprising:

receiving, by a Mobile Voice Self Service (MVSS) mobile device, a WAP Push message comprising a URL linking to an MVSS file;

responsive to receiving the WAP Push message, using the URL to link to the MVSS file, and using the MVSS file to launch a bootstrap application, by the MVSS mobile device; and

loading an outdial application using the bootstrap application, by the MVSS mobile device, wherein

the launching of the bootstrap application by the MVSS file causes the outdial application to load, and

delivering, by an application server, an MVSS configuration file to the MVSS mobile device, wherein 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.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the outdial application comprises a VoiceXML application.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the URL is directed to a VoiceXML browser for internal processing by the VoiceXML browser.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for delivering an outdial voice application to a mobile device, the instructions configured to:

receive a WAP Push message comprising a URL linking to a Mobile Voice Self Service (MVSS) file;

responsive to receiving the WAP Push message, use the URL to link to the MVSS file, and use the MVSS file to launch a bootstrap application; and

load an outdial application using the bootstrap application, wherein

the launch of the bootstrap application by the MVSS file causes the outdial application to load, and

deliver, from an application server, an MVSS configuration file to the MVSS mobile device, wherein 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.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the outdial application comprises a VoiceXML application.

14. The MVSS system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the MVSS mobile device further comprises a Media Resource Gateway.
