Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for deploying and delivering composite services in an NGN network. In an embodiment of the invention, a composite services generation method can include specifying fields for a model for a composite service, generating each of a visual view for a visual channel of access to the composite service, and also a voice view for a voice channel of access to the composite service, and mapping the fields to corresponding user interface elements in both of the visual view and also the voice view. In one aspect of the embodiment, specifying fields for a model for a composite service can include specifying fields in at least one form defining the model for the composite service. Moreover, specifying fields for a model for a composite service can include specifying fields and corresponding field types and access rights for the composite service.

Claims

1. A composite services generation method comprising:

specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service;

generating each of a visual view for a visual channel of access to the composite service, and also a voice view for a voice channel of access to the composite service; and

,

mapping the fields to corresponding user interface elements in both of the visual view and also the voice view.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service, comprises specifying a plurality of fields in at least one form defining the model for the composite service.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service, comprises specifying a plurality of fields and corresponding field types and access rights for the composite service.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service, comprises:

rendering a model wizard in a visual user interface; and

,

accepting user input in the model wizard specifying a plurality of fields in a form defining the model for the composite service.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein generating each of a visual view for a visual channel of access to the composite service, and also a voice view for a voice channel of access to the composite service, comprises:

generating hypertext markup language (HTML) conformant markup for the visual view; and

,

generating voice extensible markup language (VoiceXML) conformant markup for the voice view.

6. A composite services generation tool comprising:

a model wizard comprising a user interface configured to receive a specification of fields for a model for a composite service; and

,

a view wizard comprising a user interface configured to receive both mappings of user interface elements in a visual view for a visual channel of access to a common session for the composite service to corresponding ones of the fields for the model, and also mapping of voice prompts in a voice view for a voice channel of access to the common session to corresponding ones of the fields for the model.

7. The tool of claim 6, wherein the visual view is hypertext markup language (HTML) conformant markup.

8. The tool of claim 6, wherein the voice view is voice extensible markup language (VoiceXML) conformant markup.

9. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer usable program code for composite services generation, the computer program product including:

computer usable program code for specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service;

computer usable program code for generating each of a visual view for a visual channel of access to the composite service, and also a voice view for a voice channel of access to the composite service; and

,

computer usable program code for mapping the fields to corresponding user interface elements in both of the visual view and also the voice view.

10. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the computer usable program code for specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service, comprises computer usable program code for specifying a plurality of fields in at least one form defining the model for the composite service.

11. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the computer usable program code for specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service, comprises computer usable program code for specifying a plurality of fields and corresponding field types and access rights for the composite service.

12. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the computer usable program code for specifying a plurality of fields for a model for a composite service, comprises:

computer usable program code for rendering a model wizard in a visual user interface; and

,

computer usable program code for accepting user input in the model wizard specifying a plurality of fields in a form defining the model for the composite service.

13. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the computer usable program code for generating each of a visual view for a visual channel of access to the composite service, and also a voice view for a voice channel of access to the composite service, comprises:

computer usable program code for generating hypertext markup language (HTML) conformant markup for the visual view; and

,

computer usable program code for generating voice extensible markup language (VoiceXML) conformant markup for the voice view.
