Abstract:
1. A method for multimedia interactive telephony comprising: receiving by a gateway server dynamic content from a voice services server using a first telephony protocol, wherein the dynamic content comprises arguments that uniquely identify voice services user interface actions; wherein the dynamic content received from the voice services server is generated for simultaneous consumption by multiple communication devices with different content rendering capabilities; transforming by the gateway server the dynamic content from a first telephony protocol to a second telephony protocol, and transforming by the gateway server the dynamic content into an intermediate content format appropriate for rendering by a user communication device, wherein the intermediate content format comprises graphical user interface elements corresponding to the arguments that uniquely identify the voice services user interface actions; transmitting by the gateway server the transformed dynamic content in the intermediate content format to the user communication device using the second telephony protocol; receiving by the gateway from the user communication device an argument corresponding to user interaction with the graphical user interface elements on the communication device; transmitting by the gateway to the voice services server the argument corresponding to the user interaction with the dynamic content rendered by the user communication device.
