What is Video IVR / IVVR challenge?

janus | General | Thursday, April 30th, 2009

post-ivvr

Thanks to Christoph Köpernick’s from www.ivvr.de blog, we are very please to reference his point of view about the video IVR / IVVR challenge today for telecom’s services evolution: from person-to-person to person-to-application 3G video telephony.

Interactive voice and video response (IVVR) is a mobile technology that enables interactive services based on a 3G video call. IVVR is using the 3G video call technology to deliver applications and services to 3G users. In contrast to person-to-person video telephony, an application server answers when a 3G user places a video call. The application server generates and transmits an audio and video stream that is shown on the handset of the caller.

Instead of a real person or scene, the application server can transmit any kind of audio and video—whether a pre-recorded “talking head”, movie trailer, a live feed from TV, or a video showing traffic information—or even the order process for electronic shopping. As 3G video calls are generally bidirectional, the user is automatically sending the handset’s build-in camera and microphone signals to the other party. This paves the ground for interactive applications based on gesture and speech recognition. Another, simpler way to realise interaction is by processing DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) signals sent with the 3G-324M session when the caller uses the handset’s numpad to type.

3G-UMTS video wireless network coverage ready but lack of services

ivan | General | Monday, April 6th, 2009

 

3g-victor-merida

Be ready for 3G-UMTS technology don’t represent is very special innovative situation today for countries. Past days, we was traveling to Mexico and i discover that 3G wireless network coverage is very good there in most small or big cities of the Yucatan’s region. Main local wireless operators as Movistar, Telcel and Telmex; even in the road all wireless antennas were 3G enabled! Videocall is possible it’s not a far dream… Here our driver Victor show us his own Nokia N95 3G mobile phone, ready for videocall… ready for Internet, ready for a lot of things but there is a lack of videocall services like in most other countries, Operators only provide very basic services and promote voice and data… no significant value added video services yet available. 

This is your opportunity here in Mexico and in most of the countries today, IVVR 3G network for videocalling are ready and consumers too, people already have 3G devices… it’s not a question of coverage, mobile phones or more network’s investments…

It’s really a question of lack of services and promotion!
