Abstract
The invention advantageously provides a mobile common service platform and software in telecommunications systems. A common service platform (CSP) according to the invention is an integrated platform that supports both wireless and landline mobile services and business transactions. A CSP system according to the invention includes a common service platform or CSP for integrating a plurality of applications into a single platform for multiple uses in a plurality of communications systems. The CSP is connected with the plurality of applications and a plurality of users. Multiple users in different communications systems having varied communications protocols can utilize generally the same application (as selected by the users) through the CSP. Requests for uses in different communications system are transferred to the CSP for conversion into generally the same format that is acceptable by a selected application. Outputs from the selected application are transferred into formats that are acceptable by the requesting user. The CSP system advantageously enables a communications system to be quickly offered to market in conjunction with value-added services through applications rendered by third party service providers.
