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.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving a data message from a mobile device at an application server, the data message comprising an originating subscriber number corresponding to the mobile device and a destination number corresponding to a destination device;
- routing the data message to a gateway server (GS);
- responsive to receiving the data message, originating a session comprising a first session leg via the application server to the destination device identified via the data message;
- establishing a second session leg to the mobile device via the application server;
- joining the first session leg and the second session leg to establish an end-to-end session;
- wherein the data message is one of a short message service (SMS) message, a mobile data message and an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message;
- wherein the mobile device accepts a routing session to an intermediary destination gateway server identified by a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device, wherein the intermediary destination is different from the final destination;
- and
- routing the session from the intermediary destination to the final destination.

A method comprising:
- receiving a session request from a mobile device to a destination device at an application server, the session request comprising an originating subscriber number corresponding to the mobile device and a destination number corresponding to the destination device;
- routing the session to a gateway server (GS);
- establishing a first session leg to the destination device via the application server;
- establishing a second session leg to the mobile device via the application server;
- joining the first session leg and the second session leg to establish the session as an end-to-end session;
- wherein the session request is one of a short message service (SMS) message, a mobile data message and an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message;
- wherein the mobile device accepts a routing session to an intermediary destination gateway server identified by a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device, wherein the intermediary destination is different from the final destination;
- and
- routing the session from the intermediary destination to the final destination.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- originating a session from a mobile device to a final destination via a message comprising an originating subscriber number corresponding to the mobile device and a destination number corresponding to the final destination;
- automatically routing the message to an intermediary destination gateway server (GS) identified by a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device, wherein an intermediary destination is different from the final destination and is identified via a specific route or trunk group;
- routing the session from the intermediary destination to the final destination;
- wherein the message is one of a short message service (SMS) message, a mobile data message and an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message;
- wherein the mobile device accepts a routing session to an intermediary destination gateway server identified by a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device, wherein the intermediary destination is different from the final destination;
- and
- routing the session from the intermediary destination to the final destination.
