System and method for speeding call originations to a variety of devices using intelligent predictive techniques for half-call routing

Abstract

A system configured to originate telecommunications services is provided. The system includes a cellular gateway server (GS-C) communicating with a network gateway server (GS-E) located in an enterprise network via a signaling connection. The GS-C is configured to prepare the GS-E for an upcoming communication. The GS-E is configured to receive originator and destination data from the GS-C and is further configured to initiate a route based on the destination data prior to completion of a route from the originator through the GS-C.

Claims

1. A system configured to originate telecommunications services comprising; a) a cellular gateway server (GS-C) communicating with a network gateway server (GS-E) located in an enterprise network via a signaling connection, the GS-C configured to prepare the GS-E for an upcoming communication; andb) the GS-E configured to receive originator and destination data from the GS-C and further configured to initiate a route based on the destination data prior to completion of a route from the originator through the GS-C.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the GS-E further comprises a destination route system storing historical destination routing time data based on the destination data, wherein the GS-E is configured to use the historical destination routing time data to initiate the route.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the GS-E further comprises a route history system storing historical route timing data based on route data, wherein the GS-E is configured to use the historical route timing data to initiate the route.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the GS-E further comprises a device route system storing historical device routing data based on mobile device data associated with the destination data, wherein the GS-E is configured to use the historical device routing data to initiate the route.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the GS-C further comprises an origination route delay system receiving historical destination routing time data based on the destination data from the GS-E, wherein the GS-C is configured to use the historical destination routing time data to complete a route to the originator.

6. A method for executing originating services comprising; a) transmitting originator and destination data from a carrier gateway server (GS-C) to a network gateway server (GS-E);b) retrieving historical call routing data at the GS-E; andc) initiating a route from the GS-E to the destination based on the historical call routing data.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein retrieving historical call routing data at the GS-E comprises retrieving historical call route time data associated with one or more prior time intervals required to establish a call over a predetermined route.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein retrieving historical call routing data at the GS-E comprises retrieving historical destination route time data associated with one or more prior time intervals required to establish a call route to a predetermined destination.

9. The method of claim 6 wherein retrieving historical call routing data at the GS-E comprises retrieving historical device route time data associated with one or more prior time intervals required to establish a call route to a predetermined class of mobile device.

10. The method of claim 6 further comprising completing a route from the GS-C to the originator based on the historical call routing data.

11. The method of claim 6 further comprising delaying completion of a route from the GS-E to the destination based on the historical call routing data.

12. The method of claim 6 further comprising storing call routing time data at the GS-E based on a time required to complete the route from the GS-E to the destination.

13. The method of claim 6 further comprising storing call routing time data at the GS-E based on a time required to complete the route from the GS-E to the destination as a function of the destination.

14. The method of claim 6 further comprising storing call routing time data at the GS-E based on a time required to complete the route from the GS-E to the destination as a function of the route.

15. The method of claim 6 further comprising storing call routing time data at the GS-E based on a time required to complete the route from the GS-E to the destination as a function of a type of mobile device being served.
