1. An apparatus for providing an interactive service to a user of a mobile telecommunications device, the apparatus comprising:
- means, in the mobile device, for detecting an occurrence of an event at the mobile telecommunications device, wherein the event is not related to a call placed by or to the mobile telecommunications device;
means, in the mobile telecommunications device and coupled to the means for detecting, for determining that the event is related to one or more scripts stored in the mobile telecommunications device;
means, in the mobile telecommunications device and coupled to the means for determining, for initiating the one or more determined scripts to run on the mobile telecommunications device; and
means, in the mobile telecommunications device and coupled to the means for initiating, for launching an application to locally simulate at least in part a communication to the mobile telecommunications device based on the one or more initiated scripts,wherein the locally simulated communication provides at least an interactive service to the user of the mobile telecommunications device.

Abstract
A system for performing interactive services at a mobile device is disclosed. In some cases, the system receives an indication of an event, and provides interactive services to a user of the mobile device based on the event. In some cases, an indication of an event in invokes a script-based process that determines one or more actions to present to a user of the mobile device.

6. A method of performing an action at a mobile device, the method comprising:
upon determining that the mobile device has reached an event based on a pre-selected date, a pre-selected time, or both a pre-selected date and a pre-selected time; at the mobile device, selecting at least one script from a group of scripts stored locally in the mobile device; at the mobile device, initiating the at least one selected script; at the mobile device, performing an action related to the at least one initiated script, wherein the performed action includes simulating an incoming call to the mobile device without placing a voice call to a network and without receiving a voice call from a network; and at the mobile device, providing a notification to a user of the mobile device about the simulated incoming call. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A method of performing an action at a mobile telecommunications device, the method comprising:
upon determining a geographic location of the mobile telecommunications device is at one or more pre-determined locations; at the mobile telecommunications device, selecting at least one script from a group of scripts stored locally in the mobile telecommunications device; at the mobile telecommunications device, initiating the selected at least one script; and at the mobile telecommunications device, performing an action related to the initiated script, wherein the action is performed locally on the mobile telecommunications device and relates to changing a functionality of the mobile telecommunications device to a functionality related to the geographic location of the mobile telecommunications device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A mobile device, comprising:
-
at least one radio; at least one data store; at least one input/output device; at least one processor coupled among the at least one radio, data store and input/output device; a housing for carrying the at least one radio, data store, input/output device and processor; one or more scripts related to one or more user interface modes to be provided to a user of the mobile device, wherein the one or more scripts are stored locally in a database in the data store of the mobile device; and one or more action components stored locally in the data store of the mobile device, wherein the one or more action components are related to providing the one or more user interface modes to a user, wherein the one or more user interface modes are related to an operating mode of the mobile device, and wherein, upon an occurrence of a pre-defined event, the one or more scripts cause the one or more of the action components to provide one or more user interface modes of the mobile device to the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
