A VoiceXML browser that is implemented directly on the MVSS mobile device may request a VoiceXML application and process it. A call data manager may also be implemented on the MVSS mobile device and may provide call data that may authorize access to advanced Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) services, such as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or Text-To-Speech (TTS). A media resource gateway may then provide the advanced MRCP services to the VoiceXML application processed by the VoiceXML application browser. Hotkey navigations and bookmarked application points to VoiceXML applications may be created and applied through application analysis and state tracking. Therein, VoiceXML document transitions and user input are stored to maintain application state changes until the user requests creation of an application bookmark. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile device, comprising: an application browser that executes within the mobile device to process an application, wherein the application is a Voice XML interpretation of an Interactive Voice Response application; an application server that provides the application; a call data manager that executes within the mobile device to provide call data that, in conjunction with data from the application server, authorizes access to advanced Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) services; and a media resource gateway that executes within the mobile device to provide the advanced MRCP services to the application processed by the application browser, and which utilizes a mobile broadband wireless connection to communicate with at least one remote vendor resource server. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the application browser comprises at least one of: a VoiceXML browser and a VoiceXML application. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one remote vendor resource server provides automatic speech recognition and text to speech to the application. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one remote vendor resource server bridges communication between the application browser and the advanced MRCP services. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a Global Positioning System (GPS) component to provide location-based services to the mobile device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the 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. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprises at least one of a cellular telephone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and an iPhone. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the call data manager is operable to communicate telephony events associated with a telephone call of the mobile device to a CTI management server. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the media resource gateway is operable to process MRCP requests from the application browser. ### Claim 10 A method, comprising: requesting an application via an application browser implemented on a mobile device, wherein the application is a Voice XML interpretation of an Interactive Voice Response application; wherein an application server provides the application; providing call data from a call data manager implemented on the mobile device in conjunction with data from the application server, wherein the call data authorizes access to advanced Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) services; and providing the advanced MRCP services to the application requested by the application browser via a media resource gateway operating on the mobile device; providing at least one of automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech to the application via the media resource gateway; and utilizing, via the media resource gateway, a mobile broadband wireless connection to communicate with at least one remote vendor resource server. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the application is requested via a VoiceXML browser and the application browser. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the at least one remote vendor resource server provides automatic speech recognition and text to speech to the application. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the at least one remote vendor resource server bridges communication between the application browser and the advanced MRCP services. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising providing Global Positioning System (GPS) location-based services to the mobile device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile device operates in at least one of a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network and a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the application is requested, via the application browser, by at least one of a cellular telephone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and an iPhone. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The method as claimed in claim 12, further comprising creating and applying at least one of: hotkey navigations and bookmarked application entry points, to the VoiceXML application. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method as claimed in claim 17, further comprising storing VoiceXML document transitions to maintain application state changes until a request for creation of an application bookmark is received. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method as claimed in claim 18, further comprising: upon requesting the return to the application bookmark, using the state changes to attempt to return to at least one of the bookmarked application entry points; requesting the VoiceXML document; generating predetermined requests to a least one remote system; and if the attempt to return to at least one of the bookmarked application entry points diverges from the VoiceXML document transitions, presenting a VoiceXML form at the point of divergence. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for: requesting an application via an application browser implemented on a mobile device, wherein the application is a Voice XML interpretation of an Interactive Voice Response application; wherein an application server provides the application; providing call data from a call data manager implemented on the mobile device in conjunction with data from the application server, wherein the call data authorizes access to advanced Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) services; providing the advanced MRCP services to the application requested by the application browser via a media resource gateway operating on the mobile device; providing at least one of automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech to the application via the media resource gateway utilizing, via the media resource gateway, a mobile broadband wireless connection to communicate with at least one remote vendor resource server.
