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 associated with a call to an application server prior to an origination of the call;
- routing, by a mobile switching center (MSC), the call from the mobile device to a gateway using a destination specified by a hotline feature of the MSC;
- identifying, by the application server, the call based on the origination information;
- instructing, by the application server, the gateway server to join the call with a second call to the destination;
- and
- predicting, by the gateway, when the second call is routed to the destination before a bearer of the call is established.
A system, comprising:
- a mobile switching center (MSC), the MSC configured to:
- wherein a mobile device is configured to:
- transmit origination information associated with a call to an application server 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 a hotline feature,
- wherein the application server is configured to:
- identify the call based on origination information;
- wherein the gateway is further configured to:
- join the call with a second call to the destination;
- and
- predict when the second call is routed to the destination before a bearer of the call is established.
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 associated with a call to an application server prior to an origination of the call;
- routing, by a mobile switching center (MSC), the call from the mobile device to a gateway using a destination specified by a hotline feature of the MSC;
- identifying, by the application server, the call based on the origination information;
- instructing, by the application server, the gateway server to join the call with a second call to the destination;
- and
- predicting, by the gateway, when the second call is routed to the destination before a bearer of the call is established.
