System and method for providing access to an interactive service offering
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first communication in a format that complies with a first protocol, the first communication associated with a desired interaction between a first device and a voice activated service (VAS) platform;
receiving a second communication in a different format that complies with a different protocol;
recognizing that the VAS platform does not support the first protocol; and
translating the first communication, but not the second communication, to a platform-supported format to facilitate the desired interaction in response to the recognition that the VAS platform does not support the first protocol.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for providing access to an interactive service offering. A method incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include receiving a first communication in a format that complies with a first protocol. The first communication may be associated with a desired interaction between a first device and a voice activated service (VAS) platform. The method may also include receiving a second communication in a different format that complies with a different protocol. The second communication may be associated with a desired interaction between a different device and the VAS platform. A system implementing the method may recognize that a platform does not support the first protocol, and translate the first communication to a platform-supported format to facilitate the desired interaction.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving a first request for access to a first network-based interactive service, the first request having a format for a circuit-switched communication;
receiving a second request for access to a second network-based interactive service, the second request having a second format for communication via an Internet Protocol (IP) network;
identifying a platform capable of offering the first network-based interactive service;
routing the first request to the platform;
identifying a second platform capable of offering the second network-based interactive service; and
routing the second request to the second platform. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A system for providing access to an interactive service, the system comprising:
-
a network interface operable to form at least a portion of a link communicatively coupling a remote communication device to an interactive service offering platform;
a memory maintaining information that indicates a supported protocol for the interactive service offering platform; and
an abstraction engine operable to translate a first communication, but not a second received communication, to facilitate communication between the remote communication device and the interactive service offering platform in response to a determination that a communication of the remote communication device does not comply with the supported protocol. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
