Information Examples
Video IVR and Portals (IVVR)

The most basic type of services that can be deployed with Vitrage are Video IVR (IVVR) services. IVVR adds value to traditional voice-based IVR services by providing a visual element to the information that is available. Using IVVR, for example, video callers can access information such as stock market data, see movie show times, or order theater tickets. The visual element adds value over voice-based IVR by allowing callers to visually see stock market graphs, preview movies or see the location of the seats they are ordering for the theater.

Vitrage's ability to incorporate many different types of live or recorded video content from a variety of sources enriches the types of IVVR services and video portals that can be created.

These types of services are based on Vitrage's MiVR/IVVR application template.

Entertainment Examples
These types of services are based on Vitrage's MiVR/IVVR (video IVR) application template and often combined with other templates based on the service. These services utilize Vitrage's ability to dynamically vary the content presented based on caller interactions.
Video Quizzes

3G subscribers call into a video service and are presented with a series of questions to answer. Winners are sent an SMS message letting them know what prize they have won.

Utilizing Vitrage's dynamic application functionality, questions can be posed to callers in a different order. Vitrage's service creation environment also makes it easy to maintain these types of services with constantly updated content and questions.

One-with-many Premium Chat Services

3G callers can access a premium rate service and can select from various presentation rooms to enter. While in a room, callers can passively view presenters or interact with them in live 1-on-1 video chats. The system implements a queuing mechanism with manual caller switching, which allows the presenter to control chat sessions with the caller of choice, or automatic switching, which employs a timer to ensure that each caller receives a set amount of time to interact.

Fan Club Chat Groups

At the end of a football match, fans can call a special video number from their mobile phones and view live video sessions with players. Fans can take turns speaking with the players or record their thoughts about the game and other topics. Fans can also view recordings made by other callers or vote on best clips from the game. UGC video services can also make caller recordings available for viewing on websites.

Video Interaction Center Examples
Video Interaction Center applications offer video call center/interaction center type applications where callers can interact with live agents, who are in turn able to share various types of live or recorded content with the caller. These types of services are based on Vitrage's ViC application template.
Video Banking

Video Banking offers financial institutions the ability to offer personalized services to customer from the privacy of their home PC or their 3G mobile phone. Video callers can place video calls to their bank and be routed to the first available bank agent or to the most appropriate agent based on their requirements. During the video call session, the representative can choose to display video clips and other multimedia files.

Video banking can also be implemented together with the Vitrage O2m template, offering the ability for representatives to conduct one-with-many conference calls with several clients.

Tourist Information Center

A tourist makes a 3G video call to an information center to find out about recommended restaurants. When an agent answers the call, the tourist tells her location to the agent, who is then able to share video clips of recommended restaurants in the area, which the tourist views on her mobile phone. After selecting a restaurant, the agent makes a reservation for the tourist and provides additional tips about where to go after dinner. The representative follows-up the call with an MMS message with a map showing directions to the restaurant.
