Abstract

Analytics are collected to monitor and report data usage of enterprise applications running on a mobile device. A second line service agent and an analytics agent assure that the mobile device is configured for analytics collection. Once configured, cellular data usage of applications that are monitored by the analytics engine are detected and a VPN connection is established for routing the communications between the monitored app an a public website. If the mobile device switches to WiFi usage, the analytics agent disconnects the VPN connection and routes data directly to the public website. Thus, data usage of the monitored applications can be reported by the VPN gateway.

Abstract

A method and system for providing a second line service (“SLS”) feature to a subscriber using a telecommunications device (“TD”) which includes receiving at a switch on the network of the subscriber's primary service provider a communication made up of a trigger and a directory number. When the communication is received at the primary service provider's switch, the switch parses the communication and detects the trigger. Once the switch has received the communication, the switch additionally transmits a query message to a SLS platform that manages the SLS feature. As a result of the switch's query message transmission, the switch receives a reply to the query message from the SLS platform. Based at least in part on the reply to the query message, the switch can route the communication such that the switch connects one or multiple voice channel circuit between the subscriber's TD and the terminating TD.

Abstract

A method and system for providing a second line service (“SLS”) feature to a subscriber using a telecommunications device (“TD”) which includes receiving at a switch on the network of the subscriber's primary service provider a communication made up of a trigger and a directory number. When the communication is received at the primary service provider's switch, the switch parses the communication and detects the trigger. Once the switch has received the communication, the switch additionally transmits a query message to a SLS platform that manages the SLS feature. As a result of the switch's query message transmission, the switch receives a reply to the query message from the SLS platform. Based at least in part on the reply to the query message, the switch can route the communication such that the switch connects one or multiple voice channel circuit between the subscriber's TD and the terminating TD.

Abstract

A system and method for obtaining usage information for selected applications running on a mobile device. A VPN engine initiates a VPN connection for each selected application when the mobile device is operating in cellular connectivity mode. This results in all data transmitted and received by the mobile device to pass through the VPN connection. A VPN platform can thus identify usage information of the particular application for the particular mobile device.

Abstract

A method for routing calls between a third party telecommunications device (“TD”) and a subscriber TD associated with a primary service and a second line service (“SLS”) involves associating the SLS number of the subscriber, the primary number of the subscriber and the primary number of a third party via a common relationship number. Calls directed from a third party to the SLS number of a subscriber are routed to an SLS platform and redirected to the subscriber TD. Calls directed from the subscriber TD to the third party use the relationship number to route the call to the SLS platform. The combination of the primary service number and the relationship number identifies the third party number for call completion. Calls can be directed to and from an SLS number of a subscriber TD using a combination of protocols such as ISUP, CAP and SIP.

Abstract

A Virtual Subscriber Service (VSS) is a system and method for operators to provide multiple mutually exclusive telephone numbers, each with its own unique plan features, to a subscriber who is associated with a single terminating device. VSS makes it possible for a subscriber to manage communications directed toward any telephone number associated with his telephone as if any one of the telephone numbers were the only number associated with the telephone. Further, in addition to the primary number, a VSS subscriber can originate communications or return missed communications from the virtual telephone numbers associated with his terminating device. More specifically, some embodiments of a VSS involve the use of a pre-paid account associated with a telecommunications service that has a primary destination code as well as a virtual destination code directed toward a common terminating device such as a mobile telephone. Advantageously, embodiments of a VSS provide a telecommunications operator with a system and method that enables a subscriber to have an additional private telephone number, mutually exclusive from a primary telephone number, without purchasing another telephone or purchasing a multi-SEVI card.

Abstract

A message engine for analyzing or examining a message and generating a textual description of the message. The message engine can provide a textual description of a voice message. The message engine does not present a speech to text conversion of the complete voice message (that is, it does not convert the entire message to text and present the textual version of the entire voice message to the user). Rather, the message engine presents only the conceptual key words that describe the essence of the voice message to the user. As such, the message engine is a more intelligent version of a speech-to-text converter. An exemplary message engine will only present in text the key conceptual words of the message rather than the entire speech to text translation of the whole message.

Abstract

And integration of mobile communication devices and stationary communication devices is achieved by employing a computing device that is associated with a stationary communication device and that is coupled to a communications platform that can control call routing, call transfers and other message routing. When the computing device detects that a mobile communication device is proximate (i.e., such as by using paired blue tooth devices), the computing platform sends a command to the communications platform to have future calls sent to the stationary communication device and, if a call is active, to have that call transferred to the same. Similarly, if the mobile communication device is no longer proximate to the computing device, a command is sent to the communication platform to direct communications to the mobile communications device.

Abstract

Community Messaging Service (CMS) is a system and method for operators in developing countries to provide a messaging service to subscribers who cannot yet afford a wireless telephone or personal landline service or for which such infrastructure is not readily available, but have the basic requirement to communicate with each other. CMS makes it possible for callers to leave messages for people who would otherwise be unreachable and allow subscribers to reply back to those callers. More specifically, CMS involves the use of a pre-paid account to allow callers without telephones to have a non- gsm telephone number that can be used for communication via voicemail over a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Abstract

A calling party can by-pass voice mail menu structures and disturbing of a called party by directly dialing into the called party's voice mail. The calling party dials a special code, such as the digit 2, in conjunction with dialing the called party' s telephone number. The telephone network detects the call as being a special call by detecting the special code. In response, the calling party is sent directly to the called party's voice mail without ever ringing the called party's access device and without requiring the calling party to make menu selections for routing the call.

Abstract

An Intelligent Message Mediator (IMM) provides a system and method for the delivery of multiple types of messages, voice mail or otherwise, regardless of format, to subscribers of mobile communication platforms. Advantageously, an IMM is administered through a system that is operable to be retrofitted into existing mobile communication platforms. The basic concept of an IMM first provides for the receipt of pushed digital content originating from existing. Once pushed digital content is received by the IMM, the platform then converts the content into a convenient, predetermined format, as dictated by IMM subscriber preferences and forwards the converted content out to a subscriber's device. Optionally, an IMM can intelligently and automatically read and respond to content through the operation of subscriber configured intelligent assistant functions without ever having to push the content out to the subscriber. Also, some embodiments of an IMM may enable a subscriber to reply to a message content by providing a way to enable time-shifted voice messaging, participate in interactive advertising applications, dictate the delivery of prerecorded content, or specify an automatic response to a message on the subscriber's behalf.

Abstract

A tool that enables a technologically unsophisticated user to develop and deploy what could be considered a technically complex video application without requiring the user have knowledge in the workings of various programming technologies. A wizard- driven web-based approach to dynamically and intelligently generate video media (e.g., menus) for mobile devices, map user actions to defined functions, and intelligently create the application artifacts (VoiceXML scripts, JSP's) required that use the generated video menus. It can securely deploy the application artifacts to platforms accessible by the targeted mobile devices. Thus, using a point and click web-based tool, a complete video portal application for mobile devices can be developed and deployed in a few minutes by users who do not have developer expertise.
