Abstract
A method for handling call originations is provided. The method includes sending origination information from a mobile device to an application server in an enterprise network using Short Message Service (SMS) and determining whether a hotline feature is present in a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device. Data is then routed from the mobile device to a predetermined destination based on the hotline feature.
Claims14
A method, comprising:
- downloading, by a mobile switching center (MSC), a profile of a user of a mobile device, wherein the MSC comprises a hotline feature;
- transmitting, by the mobile device, origination information and destination information associated with the call to an application server using a mobile data communication prior to an origination of the call;
- routing, by the MSC, the call from the mobile device to a gateway using a destination specified by the hotline feature;
- informing, by the gateway, the application server of the call;
- identifying, by the application server, the call based on the origination information;
- instructing, by the application server, the gateway server to accept the call and to originate a second call to the destination;
- and
- joining, by the gateway, the call with the second call;
- wherein when the second call is routed to the destination before a bearer of the call is established should begin is predicted by the gateway.

A system, comprising:
- a mobile switching center (MSC) comprising a hotline feature, the MSC configured to:
- download a profile of a user of a mobile device,
- wherein the mobile device is configured to:
- transmit origination information and destination information associated with the call to an application server using a mobile data communication prior to an origination of the call,
- wherein the MSC is further configured to:
- route the call from the mobile device to a gateway using a destination specified by the hotline feature,
- wherein the gateway is configured to:
- inform the application server of the call,
- wherein the application server is configured to:
- identify the call based on the origination information;
- and
- instruct the gateway to accept the call and to originate a second call to the destination, and
- wherein the gateway is further configured to:
- join the call with the second call;
- wherein when the second call is routed to the destination before a bearer of the call is established should begin is predicted by the gateway.
12 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one more processors to perform:
- downloading, by a mobile switching center (MSC), a profile of a user of a mobile device, wherein the MSC comprises a hotline feature;
- transmitting, by the mobile device, origination information and destination information associated with the call to an application server using a mobile data communication prior to an origination of the call;
- routing, by the MSC, the call from the mobile device to a gateway using a destination specified by the hotline feature;
- informing, by the gateway, the application server of the call;
- identifying, by the application server, the call based on origination information;
- instructing, by the application server, the gateway server to accept the call and to originate a second call to the destination;
- and
- joining, by the gateway, the call with the second call;
- wherein when the second call is routed to the destination before a bearer of the call is established should begin is predicted by the gateway.
