Abstract
Aspects of the invention add information in the call initiation stage so that a client or device type and access type data may be embedded in the call request. Therefore, during the call-progress tone (Call Progress Tone), a processing server may then provide a logic to handle the different access type and/or client type to further enhance user experience.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a call request from a first party to a second party;
- generating a first tag identifying the first party based on a first client type;
- generating a second tag identifying the second party based on a second client type, wherein at least one of the first client type or the second client type are identified from a list of client types including at least a voice over Long Term Evolution (VOLTE) device, an over-the-top (OTT) device, and a non-subscriber identifier module (SIM) device;
- based on the identified first client type and the second client type, accessing a database for one or more timer configurations, wherein the one or more timer configurations correspond to the first client type or the second client type;
- initiate a timer configuration based on accessing the database;
- in response to an expiration of the timer configuration, identifying a configured response corresponding to the first client type or the second client type;
- and
- providing an indicia to the first party as a function of the configured response.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer-executable instructions is configured to be executed by a processor, computer-executable instructions comprising:
- identifying a call request from a first party to a second party;
- generating a first tag identifying the first party based on a first client type;
- generating a second tag identifying the second party based on a second client type, wherein at least one of the first client type or the second client type are identified from a list of client types including at least a voice over Long Term Evolution (VOLTE) device, an over-the-top (OTT) device, and a non-subscriber identifier module (SIM) device;
- based on the identified first client type and the second client type, accessing a database for one or more timer configurations, wherein the one or more timer configurations correspond to the first client type or the second client type;
- initiate a timer configuration based on accessing the database;
- in response to an expiration of the timer configuration, identifying a configured response corresponding to the first client type or the second client type;
- and
- issuing an indicia to the first party as a function of the configured response.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- a call originating device;
- a call receiving device;
- a network server is configured to identifying a call request from a call originating device to the call receiving device;
- wherein the network server is configured to generate a first tag identifying the call originating device based on a first client type, wherein the network server is further configured to generate a second tag identifying the call receiving device based on a second client type, at least one of the first client type or the second client type being identified from a list of client types including at least a voice over Long Term Evolution (VOLTE) device, an over-the-top (OTT) device, and a non-subscriber identifier module (SIM) device;
- based on the identified first client type and the second client type, wherein the network server is configured to access a database for one or more timer configurations, wherein the one or more timer configurations correspond to the first client type or the second client type;
- wherein the network server is configured to initiate a timer configuration based on accessing the database;
- in response to an expiration of the timer configuration, wherein the network server is configured to identify a configured response corresponding to the first client type or the second client type;
- and
- wherein the network server is configured to provide an indicia to the call originating device as a function of the identified configured response.
