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.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a mobile device, origination information and destination information associated with a call to an application server before an origination of the call;
- in response to receiving the call, routing, by a mobile switching center (MSC), the call from the mobile device to a gateway server using a destination specified by a hotline feature of the MSC;
- identifying, by the application server, the call based on the origination information;
- in response to the identifying, instructing, by the application server, the gateway server to accept the call and originate a second call to the destination;
- and
- before a bearer of the call is established, predicting, by the gateway server, when the second call is to be routed to the destination.
A system, comprising:
- a mobile device;
- a mobile switching center (MSC);
- and
- an application server,
- wherein the mobile device is configured to:
- transmit origination information and destination information associated with a call to the application server before an origination of the call,
- wherein the MSC is configured to:
- in response to having received the call, route the call from the mobile device to a gateway server using a destination specified by a hotline feature,
- wherein the application server is configured to:
- identify the call based on origination information, and
- in response to the identification, instruct the gateway server to accept the call and originate a second call to the destination, and
- wherein the gateway server is further configured to:
- before a bearer of the call is established, predict when the second call is to be routed to the destination.
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:
- transmitting, by a mobile device, origination information and destination information associated with a call to an application server before an origination of the call;
- in response to receiving the call, routing, by a mobile switching center (MSC), the call from the mobile device to a gateway server using a destination specified by a hotline feature of the MSC;
- identifying, by the application server, the call based on the origination information;
- in response to the identifying, instructing, by the application server, the gateway server to accept the call and originate a second call to the destination;
- and
- before a bearer of the call is established, predicting, by the gateway server, when the second call is to be routed to the destination.
