Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for a converged service creation and execution application. In an embodiment, an application is coupled to an application server. One or more open application programming interfaces are coupled to the application server, and service session management logic is also coupled to the application server.

Claims

1. A system for providing an application service in a converged service creation environment, the system comprising:

an application server;

a plurality of applications, the applications coupled to the application server, each of the applications providing a service with one or more services being voice-oriented call processing and one or more services being non-voice-oriented processing;

a plurality of open application programming interfaces, the plurality of application programming interfaces coupled to the application server and receiving requests for a service of a corresponding application of the plurality;

service session management logic, the service session management logic coupled to the application server and creating a service session by providing instructions to establish communications, where the instructions and established communications depend at least upon whether the requested service requires a voice-oriented call processing application.
