An Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Control Package
for the Media Control Channel Framework
Abstract
This document defines a Media Control Channel Framework Package for
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) dialog interaction on media
connections and conferences. The package defines dialog management
request elements for preparing, starting, and terminating dialog
interactions, as well as associated responses and notifications.
Dialog interactions are specified in a dialog language. This package
defines a lightweight IVR dialog language (supporting prompt
playback, runtime controls, Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF)
collection, and media recording) and allows other dialog languages to
be used. The package also defines elements for auditing package
capabilities and IVR dialogs.

1. Introduction
The Media Control Channel Framework [RFC6230] provides a generic
approach for establishment and reporting capabilities of remotely
initiated commands. The Channel Framework -- an equivalent term for
the Media Control Channel Framework -- utilizes many functions
provided by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] for the
rendezvous and establishment of a reliable channel for control
interactions. The Control Framework also introduces the concept of a
Control Package. A Control Package is an explicit usage of the
Control Framework for a particular interaction set. This document
defines a Control Package for Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
dialogs on media connections and conferences. The term 'dialog' in
this document refers to an IVR dialog and is completely unrelated to
the notion of a SIP dialog. The term 'IVR' is used in its inclusive
sense, allowing media other than voice for dialog interaction.
The package defines dialog management request elements for preparing,
starting, and terminating dialog interactions, as well as associated
responses and notifications. Dialog interactions are specified using
a dialog language where the language specifies a well-defined syntax
and semantics for permitted operations (play a prompt, record input
from the user, etc.). This package defines a lightweight IVR dialog
language (supporting prompt playback, runtime controls, DTMF
collection, and media recording) and allows other dialog languages to
be used. These dialog languages are specified inside dialog
management elements for preparing and starting dialog interactions.
The package also defines elements for auditing package capabilities
and IVR dialogs.
This package has been designed to satisfy IVR requirements documented
in "Media Server Control Protocol Requirements" [RFC5167] -- more
specifically, REQ-MCP-28, REQ-MCP-29, and REQ-MCP-30. It achieves
this by building upon two major approaches to IVR dialog design.
These approaches address a wide range of IVR use cases and are used
in many applications that are extensively deployed today.
First, the package is designed to provide the major IVR functionality
of SIP media server languages such as netann [RFC4240], Media Server
Control Markup Language (MSCML) [RFC5022], and Media Server Markup
Language (MSML) [RFC5707], which themselves build upon more
traditional non-SIP languages ([H.248.9], [RFC2897]). A key
differentiator is that this package provides IVR functionality using
the Channel Framework.
Second, its design is aligned with key concepts of the web model as
defined in W3C Voice Browser languages. The key dialog management
mechanism is closely aligned with Call Control XML (CCXML) [CCXML10].
The dialog functionality defined in this package can be largely seen
as a subset of VoiceXML ([VXML20], [VXML21]): where possible, basic
prompting, DTMF collection, and media recording features are
incorporated, but not any advanced VoiceXML constructs (such as
<form>, its interpretation algorithm, or a dynamic data model). As
W3C develops VoiceXML 3.0 [VXML30], we expect to see further
alignment, especially in providing a set of basic independent
primitive elements (such as prompt, collect, record, and runtime
controls) that can be reused in different dialog languages.
By reusing and building upon design patterns from these approaches to
IVR languages, this package is intended to provide a foundation that
is familiar to current IVR developers and sufficient for most IVR
applications, as well as a path to other languages that address more
advanced applications.
This Control Package defines a lightweight IVR dialog language. The
scope of this dialog language is the following IVR functionality:
o playing one or more media resources as a prompt to the user
o runtime controls (including VCR controls like speed and volume)
o collecting DTMF input from the user according to a grammar
o recording user media input
Out of scope for this dialog language are more advanced functions
including ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition), TTS (Text-to-Speech),
fax, automatic prompt recovery ('media fallback'), and media
transformation. Such functionality can be addressed by other dialog
languages (such as VoiceXML) used with this package, extensions to
this package (addition of foreign elements or attributes from another
namespace), or other Control Packages.
The functionality of this package is defined by messages, containing
XML [XML] elements, transported using the Media Control Channel
Framework. The XML elements can be divided into three types: dialog
management elements; a dialog element that defines a lightweight IVR
dialog language used with dialog management elements; and finally,
elements for auditing package capabilities as well as dialogs managed
by the package.
Dialog management elements are designed to manage the general
lifecycle of a dialog. Elements are provided for preparing a dialog,
starting the dialog on a conference or connection, and terminating
execution of a dialog. Each of these elements is contained in a
Media Control Channel Framework CONTROL message sent to the media
server. When the appropriate action has been executed, the media
server sends a REPORT message (or a 200 response to the CONTROL
message if it can execute in time) with a response element indicating
whether or not the operation was successful (e.g., if the dialog
cannot be started, then the error is reported in this response).
Once a dialog has been successfully started, the media server can
send further event notifications in a framework CONTROL message.
This package defines two event notifications: a DTMF event indicating
the DTMF activity, and a dialogexit event indicating that the dialog
has exited. If the dialog has executed successfully, the dialogexit
event includes information collected during the dialog. If an error
occurs during execution (e.g., a media resource failed to play, no
recording resource available, etc.), then error information is
reported in the dialogexit event. Once a dialogexit event is sent,
the dialog lifecycle is terminated.
The dialog management elements for preparing and starting a dialog
specify the dialog using a dialog language. A dialog language has
well-defined syntax and semantics for defined dialog operations.
Typically, dialog languages are written in XML where the root element
has a designated XML namespace and, when used as standalone
documents, have an associated MIME media type. For example, VoiceXML
is an XML dialog language with the root element <vxml> with the
designated namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml' and standalone
documents are associated with the MIME media type 'application/
voicexml+xml' [RFC4267].
This Control Package defines its own lightweight IVR dialog language.
The language has a root element (<dialog>) with the same designated
namespace as used for other elements defined in this package (see
Section 8.2). The root element contains child elements for playing
prompts to the user, specifying runtime controls, collecting DTMF
input from the user, and recording media input from the user. The
child elements can co-occur so as to provide 'play announcement',
'prompt and collect', as well as 'prompt and record' functionality.
The dialog management elements for preparing and starting a dialog
can specify the dialog language either by including inline a fragment
with the root element or by referencing an external dialog document.
The dialog language defined in this package is specified inline.
Other dialog languages, such as VoiceXML, can be used by referencing
an external dialog document.
The document is organized as follows. Section 3 describes how this
Control Package fulfills the requirements for a Media Control Channel
Framework Control Package. Section 4 describes the syntax and
semantics of defined elements, including dialog management
(Section 4.2), the IVR dialog element (Section 4.3), and audit
elements (Section 4.4). Section 5 describes an XML schema for these
elements and provides extensibility by allowing attributes and
elements from other namespaces. Section 6 provides examples of
package usage. Section 7 describes important security considerations
for use of this Control Package. Section 8 provides information on
IANA registration of this Control Package, including its name, XML
namespace, and MIME media type. It also establishes a registry for
prompt variables. Finally, Section 9 provides additional information
on using VoiceXML when supported as an external dialog language.
2. Conventions and Terminology
In this document, BCP 14 [RFC2119] defines the key words "MUST",
"MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
"RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL". In
addition, BCP 15 indicates requirement levels for compliant
implementations.
The following additional terms are defined for use in this document:
Dialog: A dialog performs media interaction with a user following
the concept of an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) dialog (this
sense of 'dialog' is completely unrelated to a SIP dialog). A
dialog is specified as inline XML or via a URI reference to an
external dialog document. Traditional IVR dialogs typically
feature capabilities such as playing audio prompts, collecting
DTMF input, and recording audio input from the user. More
inclusive definitions include support for other media types,
runtime controls, synthesized speech, recording and playback of
video, recognition of spoken input, and mixed initiative
conversations.
Application Server: A SIP [RFC3261] application server (AS) hosts
and executes services such as interactive media and conferencing
in an operator's network. An AS influences and impacts the SIP
session, in particular by terminating SIP sessions on a media
server, which is under its control.
Media Server: A media server (MS) processes media streams on behalf
of an AS by offering functionality such as interactive media,
conferencing, and transcoding to the end user. Interactive media
functionality is realized by way of dialogs that are initiated by
the application server.
3. Control Package Definition
This section fulfills the mandatory requirement for information that
MUST be specified during the definition of a Control Framework
Package, as detailed in Section 7 of [RFC6230].
3.1. Control Package Name
The Control Framework requires a Control Package to specify and
register a unique name.
The name of this Control Package is "msc-ivr/1.0" (Media Server
Control - Interactive Voice Response - version 1.0). Its IANA
registration is specified in Section 8.1.
Since this is the initial ("1.0") version of the Control Package,
there are no backwards-compatibility issues to address.
3.2. Framework Message Usage
The Control Framework requires a Control Package to explicitly detail
the CONTROL messages that can be used as well as provide an
indication of directionality between entities. This will include
which role type is allowed to initiate a request type.
This package specifies Control and response messages in terms of XML
elements defined in Section 4, where the message bodies have the MIME
media type defined in Section 8.4. These elements describe requests,
responses, and notifications and all are contained within a root
<mscivr> element (Section 4.1).
In this package, the MS operates as a Control Server in receiving
requests from, and sending responses to, the AS (operating as Control
Client). Dialog management requests and responses are defined in
Section 4.2. Audit requests and responses are defined in
Section 4.4. Dialog management and audit responses are carried in a
framework 200 response or REPORT message bodies. This package's
response codes are defined in Section 4.5.
Note that package responses are different from framework response
codes. Framework error response codes (see Section 7 of [RFC6230])
are used when the request or event notification is invalid; for
example, a request is invalid XML (400), or not understood (500).
The MS also operates as a Control Client in sending event
notification to the AS (Control Server). Event notifications
(Section 4.2.5) are carried in CONTROL message bodies. The AS MUST
respond with a Control Framework 200 response.
3.3. Common XML Support
The Control Framework requires a Control Package definition to
specify if the attributes for media dialog or conference references
are required.
This package requires that the XML schema in Section A.1 of [RFC6230]
MUST be supported for media dialogs and conferences.
The package uses "connectionid" and "conferenceid" attributes for
various element definitions (Section 4). The XML schema (Section 5)
imports the definitions of these attributes from the framework
schema.
3.4. CONTROL Message Body
The Control Framework requires a Control Package to define the
control body that can be contained within a CONTROL command request
and to indicate the location of detailed syntax definitions and
semantics for the appropriate body types.
When operating as Control Server, the MS receives Control message
bodies with the MIME media type defined in Section 8.4 and containing
an <mscivr> element (Section 4.1) with either a dialog management or
audit request child element.
The following dialog management request elements are carried in
CONTROL message bodies to the MS: <dialogprepare> (Section 4.2.1),
<dialogstart> (Section 4.2.2), and <dialogterminate> (Section 4.2.3)
elements.
The <audit> request element (Section 4.4.1) is also carried in
CONTROL message bodies.
When operating as Control Client, the MS sends CONTROL messages with
the MIME media type defined in Section 8.4 and a body containing an
<mscivr> element (Section 4.1) with a notification <event> child
element (Section 4.2.5).
3.5. REPORT Message Body
The Control Framework requires a Control Package definition to define
the REPORT body that can be contained within a REPORT command
request, or that no report package body is required. This section
indicates the location of detailed syntax definitions and semantics
for the appropriate body types.
When operating as Control Server, the MS sends REPORT bodies with the
MIME media type defined in Section 8.4 and containing a <mscivr>
element (Section 4.1) with a response child element. The response
element for dialog management requests is a <response> element
(Section 4.2.4). The response element for an audit request is an
<auditresponse> element (Section 4.4.2).
3.6. Audit
The Control Framework encourages Control Packages to specify whether
auditing is available, how it is triggered, as well as the query/
response formats.
This Control Package supports auditing of package capabilities and
dialogs on the MS. An audit request is carried in a CONTROL message
(see Section 3.4) and an audit response in a REPORT message (or a 200
response to the CONTROL if it can execute the audit in time) (see
Section 3.5).
The syntax and semantics of audit request and response elements are
defined in Section 4.4.
3.7. Examples
The Control Framework recommends Control Packages to provide a range
of message flows that represent common flows using the package and
this framework document.
This Control Package provides examples of such message flows in
Section 6.
4. Element Definitions
This section defines the XML elements for this package. The elements
are defined in the XML namespace specified in Section 8.2.
The root element is <mscivr> (Section 4.1). All other XML elements
(requests, responses, and notification elements) are contained within
it. Child elements describe dialog management (Section 4.2) and
audit (Section 4.4) functionality. The IVR dialog element (contained
within dialog management elements) is defined in Section 4.3.
Response status codes are defined in Section 4.5 and type definitions
in Section 4.6.
Implementation of this Control Package MUST address the Security
Considerations described in Section 7.
Implementation of this Control Package MUST adhere to the syntax and
semantics of XML elements defined in this section and the schema
(Section 5). Since XML schema is unable to support some types of
syntactic constraints (such as attribute and element co-occurrence),
some elements in this package specify additional syntactic
constraints in their textual definition. If there is a difference in
constraints between the XML schema and the textual description of
elements in this section, the textual definition takes priority.
The XML schema supports extensibility by allowing attributes and
elements from other namespaces. Implementations MAY support
additional capabilities by means of attributes and elements from
other (foreign) namespaces. Attributes and elements from foreign
namespaces are not described in this section.
Some elements in this Control Package contain attributes whose value
is a URI. These elements include: <dialogprepare> (Section 4.2.1),
<dialogstart> (Section 4.2.2), <media> (Section 4.3.1.5), <grammar>
(Section 4.3.1.3.1), and <record> (Section 4.3.1.4). The MS MUST
support both HTTP [RFC2616] and HTTPS [RFC2818] protocol schemes for
fetching and uploading resources, and the MS MAY support other
schemes. The implementation SHOULD support storage of authentication
information as part of its configuration, including security
certificates for use with HTTPS. If the implementation wants to
support user authentication, user certifications and passwords can
also be stored as part of its configuration or the implementation can
extend the schema (adding, for example, an http-password attribute in
its own namespace) and then map user authentication information onto
the appropriate headers following the HTTP authentication model
[RFC2616].
Some elements in this Control Package contain attributes whose value
is descriptive text primarily for diagnostic use. The implementation
can indicate the language used in the descriptive text by means of a
'desclang' attribute ([RFC2277], [RFC5646]). The desclang attribute
can appear on the root element as well as selected subordinate
elements (see Section 4.1). The desclang attribute value on the root
element applies to all desclang attributes in subordinate elements
unless the subordinate element has an explicit desclang attribute
that overrides it.
Usage examples are provided in Section 6.
4.1. <mscivr>
The <mscivr> element has the following attributes (in addition to
standard XML namespace attributes such as xmlns):
version: a string specifying the mscivr package version. The value
is fixed as '1.0' for this version of the package. The attribute
is mandatory.
desclang: specifies the language used in descriptive text attributes
of subordinate elements (unless the subordinate element provides a
desclang attribute that overrides the value for its descriptive
text attributes). The descriptive text attributes on subordinate
elements include: the reason attribute on <response>
(Section 4.2.4), <dialogexit> (Section 4.2.5.1), and
<auditresponse> (Section 4.4.2); desc attribute on <variabletype>
and <format> (Section 4.4.2.2.5.1). A valid value is a language
identifier (Section 4.6.11). The attribute is optional. The
default value is i-default (BCP 47 [RFC5646]).
The <mscivr> element has the following defined child elements, only
one of which can occur:
1. dialog management elements defined in Section 4.2:
<dialogprepare> prepare a dialog. See Section 4.2.1.
<dialogstart> start a dialog. See Section 4.2.2.
<dialogterminate> terminate a dialog. See Section 4.2.3.
<response> response to a dialog request. See Section 4.2.4.
<event> dialog or subscription notification. See Section 4.2.5.
2. audit elements defined in Section 4.4:
<audit> audit package capabilities and managed dialogs. See
Section 4.4.1.
<auditresponse> response to an audit request. See
Section 4.4.2.
For example, a request to the MS to start an IVR dialog playing a
prompt:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="ssd3r3:sds345b">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/welcome.wav"/>
</prompt>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
and a response from the MS that the dialog started successfully:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="200" dialogid="d1"/>
</mscivr>
and finally a notification from the MS indicating that the dialog
exited upon completion of playing the prompt:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr"
desclang="en">
<event dialogid="d1">
<dialogexit status="1" reason="successful completion of the dialog">
<promptinfo termmode="completed"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
The language of the descriptive text in the reason attribute of
<dialogexit> is explicitly indicated by the desclang attribute of the
<mscivr> root element.
4.2. Dialog Management Elements
This section defines the dialog management XML elements for this
Control Package. These elements are divided into requests,
responses, and notifications.
Request elements are sent to the MS to request a specific dialog
operation to be executed. The following request elements are
defined:
<dialogprepare>: prepare a dialog for later execution
<dialogstart>: start a (prepared) dialog on a connection or
conference
<dialogterminate>: terminate a dialog
Responses from the MS describe the status of the requested operation.
Responses are specified in a <response> element (Section 4.2.4) that
includes a mandatory attribute describing the status in terms of a
numeric code. Response status codes are defined in Section 4.5. The
MS MUST respond to a request message with a response message. If the
MS is not able to process the request and carry out the dialog
operation, the request has failed and the MS MUST indicate the class
of failure using an appropriate 4xx response code. Unless an error
response code is specified for a class of error within this section,
implementations follow Section 4.5 in determining the appropriate
status code for the response.
Notifications are sent from the MS to provide updates on the status
of a dialog or operations defined within the dialog. Notifications
are specified in an <event> element (Section 4.2.5).

Figure 1: Dialog Lifecycle
The MS implementation MUST adhere to the dialog lifecycle shown in
Figure 1, where each dialog has the following states:
IDLE: the dialog is uninitialized.
PREPARING: the dialog is being prepared. The dialog is assigned a
valid dialog identifier (see below). If an error occurs, the
dialog transitions to the TERMINATED state and the MS MUST send a
response indicating the error. If the dialog is terminated before
preparation is complete, the dialog transitions to the TERMINATED
state and the MS MUST send a 410 response (Section 4.5) for the
prepare request.
PREPARED: the dialog has been successfully prepared and the MS MUST
send a 200 response indicating the prepare operation was
successful. If the dialog is terminated, then the MS MUST send a
200 response, the dialog transitions to the TERMINATED state and
the MS MUST send a dialogexit notification event (see
Section 4.2.5.1). If the duration the dialog remains in the
PREPARED state exceeds the maximum preparation duration, the
dialog transitions to the TERMINATED state and the MS MUST send a
dialogexit notification with the appropriate error status code
(see Section 4.2.5.1). A maximum preparation duration of 300s is
RECOMMENDED.
STARTING: the dialog is being started. If the dialog has not
already been prepared, it is first prepared and assigned a valid
dialog identifier (see below). If an error occurs the dialog
transitions to the TERMINATED state and the MS MUST send a
response indicating the error. If the dialog is terminated, the
dialog transitions to the TERMINATED state and the MS MUST send a
410 response (Section 4.5) for the start request.
STARTED: the dialog has been successfully started and is now active.
The MS MUST send a 200 response indicating the start operation was
successful. If any dialog events occur that were subscribed to,
the MS MUST send a notifications when the dialog event occurs.
When the dialog exits (due to normal termination, an error, or a
terminate request), the MS MUST send a dialogexit notification
event (see Section 4.2.5.1) and the dialog transitions to the
TERMINATED state.
TERMINATED: the dialog is terminated and its dialog identifier is no
longer valid. Dialog notifications MUST NOT be sent for this
dialog.
Each dialog has a valid identifier until it transitions to a
TERMINATED state. The dialog identifier is assigned by the MS unless
the <dialogprepare> or <dialogstart> request already specifies a
identifier (dialogid) that is not associated with any other dialog on
the MS. Once a dialog is in a TERMINATED state, its dialog
identifier is no longer valid and can be reused for another dialog.
The identifier is used to reference the dialog in subsequent
requests, responses, and notifications. In a <dialogstart> request,
the dialog identifier can be specified in the prepareddialogid
attribute indicating the prepared dialog to start. In
<dialogterminate> and <audit> requests, the dialog identifier is
specified in the dialogid attribute, indicating which dialog is to be
terminated or audited, respectively. If these requests specify a
dialog identifier already associated with another dialog on the MS,
the MS sends a response with a 405 status code (see Section 4.5) and
the same dialogid as in the request. The MS MUST specify a dialog
identifier in notifications associated with the dialog. The MS MUST
specify a dialog identifier in responses unless it is a response to a
syntactically invalid request.
For a given dialog, the <dialogprepare> or <dialogstart> request
elements specify the dialog content to execute either by including
inline a <dialog> element (the dialog language defined in this
package; see Section 4.3) or by referencing an external dialog
document (a dialog language defined outside this package). When
referencing an external dialog document, the request element contains
a URI reference to the remote document (specifying the dialog
definition) and, optionally, a type attribute indicating the MIME
media type associated with the dialog document. Consequently, the
dialog language associated with a dialog on the MS is identified
either inline by a <dialog> child element or by a src attribute
referencing a document containing the dialog language. The MS MUST
support inline the IVR dialog language defined in Section 4.3. The
MS MAY support other dialog languages by reference.
4.2.1. <dialogprepare>
The <dialogprepare> request is sent to the MS to request preparation
of a dialog. Dialog preparation consists of (a) retrieving an
external dialog document and/or external resources referenced within
an inline <dialog> element and (b) validating the dialog document
syntactically and semantically.
A prepared dialog is executed when the MS receives a <dialogstart>
request referencing the prepared dialog identifier (see
Section 4.2.2).
The <dialogprepare> element has the following attributes:
src: specifies the location of an external dialog document to
prepare. A valid value is a URI (see Section 4.6.9). The MS MUST
support both HTTP [RFC2616] and HTTPS [RFC2818] schemes and the MS
MAY support other schemes. If the URI scheme is unsupported, the
MS sends a <response> with a 420 status code (Section 4.5). If
the document cannot be retrieved within the timeout interval, the
MS sends a <response> with a 409 status code. If the document
contains a type of dialog language that the MS does not support,
the MS sends a <response> with a 421 status code. The attribute
is optional. There is no default value.
type: specifies the type of the external dialog document indicated
in the 'src' attribute. A valid value is a MIME media type (see
Section 4.6.10). If the URI scheme used in the src attribute
defines a mechanism for establishing the authoritative MIME media
type of the media resource, the value returned by that mechanism
takes precedence over this attribute. The attribute is optional.
There is no default value.
maxage: Used to set the max-age value of the 'Cache-Control' header
in conjunction with an external dialog document fetched using
HTTP, as per [RFC2616]. A valid value is a non-negative integer
(see Section 4.6.4). The attribute is optional. There is no
default value.
maxstale: Used to set the max-stale value of the 'Cache-Control'
header in conjunction with an external dialog document fetched
using HTTP, as per [RFC2616]. A valid value is a non-negative
integer (see Section 4.6.4). The attribute is optional. There is
no default value.
fetchtimeout: the maximum timeout interval to wait when fetching an
external dialog document. A valid value is a Time Designation
(see Section 4.6.7). The attribute is optional. The default
value is 30s.
dialogid: string indicating a unique name for the dialog. If a
dialog with the same name already exists on the MS, the MS sends a
<response> with a 405 status code (Section 4.5). If this
attribute is not specified, the MS MUST create a unique name for
the dialog (see Section 4.2 for dialog identifier assignment).
The attribute is optional. There is no default value.
The <dialogprepare> element has the following sequence of child
elements:
<dialog> an IVR dialog (Section 4.3) to prepare. The element is
optional.
<params>: specifies input parameters (Section 4.2.6) for dialog
languages defined outside this specification. The element is
optional. If a parameter is not supported by the MS for the
external dialog language, the MS sends a <response> with a 427
status code (Section 4.5).
The dialog to prepare can be specified either inline with a <dialog>
child element or externally (for dialog languages defined outside
this specification) using the src attribute. It is a syntax error if
both an inline <dialog> element and a src attribute are specified and
the MS sends a <response> with a 400 status code (see Section 4.5).
The type, maxage, maxstale, and fetchtimeout attributes are only
relevant when a dialog is specified as an external document.
For example, a <dialogprepare> request to prepare an inline IVR
dialog with a single prompt:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogprepare>
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/welcome.wav"/>
</prompt>
</dialog>
</dialogprepare>
</mscivr>
In this example, a request with a specified dialogid to prepare a
VoiceXML dialog document located externally:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogprepare dialogid="d2" type="application/voicexml+xml"
src="http://www.example.com/mydialog.vxml"
fetchtimeout="15s"/>
</mscivr>
Since MS support for dialog languages other than the IVR dialog
language defined in this package is optional, if the MS does not
support the dialog language, it would send a response with the status
code 421 (Section 4.5). Further information on using VoiceXML can be
found in Section 9.
4.2.2. <dialogstart>
The <dialogstart> element is sent to the MS to start a dialog. If
the dialog has not been prepared, the dialog is prepared (retrieving
external document and/or external resources referenced within
<dialog> element and the dialog document validated syntactically and
semantically). Media processors (e.g., DTMF and prompt queue) are
activated and associated with the specified connection or conference.
The <dialogstart> element has the following attributes:
src: specifies the location of an external dialog document to start.
A valid value is a URI (see Section 4.6.9). The MS MUST support
both HTTP [RFC2616] and HTTPS [RFC2818] schemes and the MS MAY
support other schemes. If the URI scheme is unsupported, the MS
sends a <response> with a 420 status code (Section 4.5). If the
document cannot be retrieved with the timeout interval, the MS
sends a <response> with a 409 status code. If the document
contains a type of dialog language that the MS does not support,
the MS sends a <response> with a 421 status code. The attribute
is optional. There is no default value.
type: specifies the type of the external dialog document indicated
in the 'src' attribute. A valid value is a MIME media type (see
Section 4.6.10). If the URI scheme used in the src attribute
defines a mechanism for establishing the authoritative MIME media
type of the media resource, the value returned by that mechanism
takes precedence over this attribute. The attribute is optional.
There is no default value.
maxage: Used to set the max-age value of the 'Cache-Control' header
in conjunction with an external dialog document fetched using
HTTP, as per [RFC2616]. A valid value is a non-negative integer
(see Section 4.6.4). The attribute is optional. There is no
default value.
maxstale: Used to set the max-stale value of the 'Cache-Control'
header in conjunction with an external dialog document fetched
using HTTP, as per [RFC2616]. A valid value is a non-negative
integer (see Section 4.6.4). The attribute is optional. There is
no default value.
fetchtimeout: the maximum timeout interval to wait when fetching an
external dialog document. A valid value is a Time Designation
(see Section 4.6.7). The attribute is optional. The default
value is 30s.
dialogid: string indicating a unique name for the dialog. If a
dialog with the same name already exists on the MS, the MS sends a
<response> with a 405 status code (Section 4.5). If neither the
dialogid attribute nor the prepareddialogid attribute is
specified, the MS MUST create a unique name for the dialog (see
Section 4.2 for dialog identifier assignment). The attribute is
optional. There is no default value.
prepareddialogid: string identifying a dialog previously prepared
using a dialogprepare (Section 4.2.1) request. If neither the
dialogid attribute nor the prepareddialogid attribute is
specified, the MS MUST create a unique name for the dialog (see
Section 4.2 for dialog identifier assignment). The attribute is
optional. There is no default value.
connectionid: string identifying the SIP dialog connection on which
this dialog is to be started (see Appendix A.1 of [RFC6230]). The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
conferenceid: string identifying the conference on which this dialog
is to be started (see Appendix A.1 of [RFC6230]). The attribute
is optional. There is no default value.
Exactly one of the connectionid or conferenceid attributes MUST be
specified. If both the connectionid and conferenceid attributes are
specified or neither is specified, it is a syntax error and the MS
sends a <response> with a 400 status code (Section 4.5).
It is an error if the connection or conference referenced by a
specific connectionid or conferenceid attribute is not available on
the MS at the time the <dialogstart> request is executed. If an
invalid connectionid is specified, the MS sends a <response> with a
407 status code (Section 4.5). If an invalid conferenceid is
specified, the MS sends a <response> with a 408 status code.
The <dialogstart> element has the following sequence of child
elements:
<dialog>: specifies an IVR dialog (Section 4.3) to execute. The
element is optional.
<subscribe>: specifies subscriptions to dialog events
(Section 4.2.2.1). The element is optional.
<params>: specifies input parameters (Section 4.2.6) for dialog
languages defined outside this specification. The element is
optional. If a parameter is not supported by the MS for the
external dialog language, the MS sends a <response> with a 427
status code (Section 4.5).
<stream>: determines the media stream(s) associated with the
connection or conference on which the dialog is executed
(Section 4.2.2.2). The <stream> element is optional. Multiple
<stream> elements can be specified.
The dialog to start can be specified either (a) inline with a
<dialog> child element, (b) externally using the src attribute (for
dialog languages defined outside this specification), or (c) by
referencing a previously prepared dialog using the prepareddialogid
attribute. If exactly one of the src attribute, the
prepareddialogid, or a <dialog> child element is not specified, it is
a syntax error and the MS sends a <response> with a 400 status code
(Section 4.5). If the prepareddialogid and dialogid attributes are
specified, it is also a syntax error and the MS sends a <response>
with a 400 status code. The type, maxage, maxstale, and fetchtimeout
attributes are only relevant when a dialog is specified as an
external document.
The <stream> element provides explicit control over which media
streams on the connection or conference are used during dialog
execution. For example, if a connection supports both audio and
video streams, a <stream> element could be used to indicate that only
the audio stream is used in receive mode. In cases where there are
multiple media streams of the same type for a dialog, the AS MUST use
<stream> elements to explicitly specify the configuration. If no
<stream> elements are specified, then the default media configuration
is that defined for the connection or conference.
If a <stream> element is in conflict (a) with another <stream>
element, (b) with specified connection or conference media
capabilities, or (c) with a Session Description Protocol (SDP) label
value as part of the connectionid (see Appendix A.1 of [RFC6230]),
then the MS sends a <response> with a 411 status code (Section 4.5).
If the media stream configuration is not supported by the MS, then
the MS sends a <response> with a 428 status code (Section 4.5).
The MS MAY support multiple, simultaneous dialogs being started on
the same connection or conference. For example, the same connection
can receive different media streams (e.g., audio and video) from
different dialogs, or receive (and implicitly mix where appropriate)
the same type of media streams from different dialogs. If the MS
does not support starting another dialog on the same connection or
conference, it sends a <response> with a 432 status code
(Section 4.5) when it receives the second (or subsequent) dialog
request.
For example, a request to start an ivr dialog on a connection
subscribing to DTMF notifications:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="connection1">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/getpin.wav"/>
</prompt>
<collect maxdigits="2"/>
</dialog>
<subscribe>
<dtmfsub matchmode="all"/>
</subscribe>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
In this example, the dialog is started on a conference where the
conference only receives an audio media stream from the dialog:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart conferenceid="conference1">
<dialog>
<record maxtime="384000s"/>
</dialog>
<stream media="audio" direction="recvonly"/>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
4.2.2.1. <subscribe>
The <subscribe> element allows the AS to subscribe to, and be
notified of, specific events that occur during execution of the
dialog. Notifications of dialog events are delivered using the
<event> element (see Section 4.2.5).
The <subscribe> element has no attributes.
The <subscribe> element has the following sequence of child elements
(0 or more occurrences):
<dtmfsub>: Subscription to DTMF input during the dialog
(Section 4.2.2.1.1). The element is optional.
If a request has a <subscribe> with no child elements, the MS treats
the request as if no <subscribe> element were specified.
The MS MUST support <dtmfsub> subscription for the IVR dialog
language defined in this specification (Section 4.3). It MAY support
other dialog subscriptions (specified using attributes and child
elements from a foreign namespace). If the MS does not support a
subscription specified in a foreign namespace, the MS sends a
response with a 431 status code (see Section 4.5).
4.2.2.1.1. <dtmfsub>
The <dtmfsub> element has the following attributes:
matchmode: controls which DTMF input is subscribed to. Valid values
are "all" - notify all DTMF key presses received during the
dialog; "collect" - notify only DTMF input matched by the collect
operation (Section 4.3.1.3); and "control" - notify only DTMF
input matched by the runtime control operation (Section 4.3.1.2).
The attribute is optional. The default value is "all".
The <dtmfsub> element has no child elements.
DTMF notifications are delivered in the <dtmfnotify> element
(Section 4.2.5.2).
For example, the AS wishes to subscribe to DTMF key press matching a
runtime control:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart dialogid="d3" connectionid="connection1">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/getpin.wav"/>
</prompt>
<control ffkey="2" rwkey="3"/>
</dialog>
<subscribe>
<dtmfsub matchmode="control"/>
</subscribe>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
Each time a '2' or '3' DTMF input is received, the MS sends a
notification event:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="d3">
<dtmfnotify matchmode="collect" dtmf="2"
timestamp="2008-05-12T12:13:14Z"/>
</event>
</mscivr>
4.2.2.2. <stream>
The <stream> element has the following attributes:
media: a string indicating the type of media associated with the
stream. A valid value is a MIME type-name as defined in Section
4.2 of [RFC4288]. The following values MUST be used for common
types of media: "audio" for audio media, and "video" for video
media. See [IANA] for registered MIME type names. The attribute
is mandatory.
label: a string indicating the SDP label associated with a media
stream [RFC4574]. The attribute is optional.
direction: a string indicating the direction of the media flow
relative to the endpoint conference or connection. Defined values
are "sendrecv" (the endpoint can send media to, and receive media
from, the dialog), "sendonly" (the endpoint can only send media to
the dialog), "recvonly" (the endpoint can only receive media from
the dialog), and "inactive" (stream is not to be used). The
default value is "sendrecv". The attribute is optional.
The <stream> element has the following sequence of child elements:
<region>: an element to specify the area within a mixer video layout
where a media stream is displayed (Section 4.2.2.2.1). The
element is optional.
<priority>: an element to configure priority associated with the
stream in the conference mix (Section 4.2.2.2.2). The element is
optional.
If conferenceid is not specified or if the "media" attribute does not
have the value of "video", then the MS ignores the <region> and
<priority> elements.
For example, assume a User Agent connection with multiple audio and
video streams associated with the user and a separate web camera. In
this case, the dialog could be started to record only the audio and
video streams associated with the user:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="connection1">
<dialog>
<record maxtime="384000s"/>
</dialog>
<stream media="audio" label="camaudio" direction="inactive"/>
<stream media="video" label="camvideo" direction="inactive"/>
<stream media="audio" label="useraudio" direction="sendonly"/>
<stream media="video" label="uservideo" direction="sendonly"/>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
Using the <region> element, the dialog can be started on a conference
mixer so that the video output from the dialog is directed to a
specific area within a video layout. For example:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart conferenceid="conference1">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/presentation.3gp"/>
</prompt>
</dialog>
<stream media="video" direction="recvonly">
<region>1</region>
</stream>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
4.2.2.2.1. <region>
The <region> element is used to specify a named area within a
presentation layout where a video media stream is displayed. The MS
could, for example, play video media into an area of a video layout
where the layout and its named regions are specified using the Mixer
Control Package [MIXER-CP].
The <region> element has no attributes and its content model
specifies the name of the region.
If the region name is invalid, then the MS reports a 416 status code
(Section 4.5) in the response to the request element containing the
<region> element.
4.2.2.2.2. <priority>
The <priority> element is used to explicitly specify the priority of
the dialog for presentation in a conference mix.
The <priority> element has no attributes and its content model
specifies a positive integer (see Section 4.6.5). The lower the
value, the higher the priority.
4.2.3. <dialogterminate>
A dialog can be terminated by sending a <dialogterminate> request
element to the MS.
The <dialogterminate> element has the following attributes:
dialogid: string identifying the dialog to terminate. If the
specified dialog identifier is invalid, the MS sends a response
with a 405 status code (Section 4.5). The attribute is mandatory.
immediate: indicates whether or not a dialog in the STARTED state is
to be terminated immediately (in other states, termination is
always immediate). A valid value is a boolean (see
Section 4.6.1). A value of true indicates that the dialog is
terminated immediately and the MS MUST send a dialogexit
notification (Section 4.2.5.1) without report information. A
value of false indicates that the dialog terminates after the
current iteration and the MS MUST send a dialogexit notification
with report information. The attribute is optional. The default
value is false.
The MS MUST reply to the <dialogterminate> request with a <response>
element (Section 4.2.4), reporting whether or not the dialog was
terminated successfully.
For example, immediately terminating a STARTED dialog with dialogid
"d4":
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogterminate dialogid="d4" immediate="true"/>
</mscivr>
If the dialog is terminated successfully, then the response to the
dialogterminate request would be:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="200" dialogid="d4"/>
</mscivr>
4.2.4. <response>
Responses to dialog management requests are specified with a
<response> element.
The <response> element has following attributes:
status: numeric code indicating the response status. Valid values
are defined in Section 4.5. The attribute is mandatory.
reason: string specifying a reason for the response status. The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
desclang: specifies the language used in the value of the reason
attribute. A valid value is a language identifier
(Section 4.6.11). The attribute is optional. If not specified,
the value of the desclang attribute on <mscivr> (Section 4.1)
applies.
dialogid: string identifying the dialog. If the request specifies a
dialogid, then that value is used. Otherwise, with
<dialogprepare> and <dialogstart> requests, the dialogid generated
by the MS is used. If there is no available dialogid because the
request is syntactically invalid (e.g., a <dialogterminate>
request with no dialogid attribute specified), then the value is
the empty string. The attribute is mandatory.
connectionid: string identifying the SIP dialog connection
associated with the dialog (see Appendix A.1 of [RFC6230]). The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
conferenceid: string identifying the conference associated with the
dialog (see Appendix A.1 of [RFC6230]). The attribute is
optional. There is no default value.
For example, a response when a dialog was prepared successfully:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="200" dialogid="d5"/>
</mscivr>
The response if dialog preparation failed due to an unsupported
dialog language:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="421" dialogid="d5"
reason="Unsupported dialog language: application/voicexml+xml"/>
</mscivr>
In this example, a <dialogterminate> request does not specify a
dialogid:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogterminate/>
</mscivr>
The response status indicates a 400 (Syntax error) status code and
the dialogid attribute has an empty string value:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="400" dialogid=" "
reason="Attribute required: dialogid"/>
</mscivr>
4.2.5. <event>
When a dialog generates a notification event, the MS sends the event
using an <event> element.
The <event> element has the following attributes:
dialogid: string identifying the dialog that generated the event.
The attribute is mandatory.
The <event> element has the following child elements, only one of
which can occur:
<dialogexit>: indicates that the dialog has exited
(Section 4.2.5.1).
<dtmfnotify>: indicates that a DTMF key press occurred
(Section 4.2.5.2).
4.2.5.1. <dialogexit>
The <dialogexit> event indicates that a prepared or active dialog has
exited because it is complete, it has been terminated, or an error
occurred during execution (for example, a media resource cannot be
played). This event MUST be sent by the MS when the dialog exits.
The <dialogexit> element has the following attributes:
status: a status code indicating the status of the dialog when it
exits. A valid value is a non-negative integer (see
Section 4.6.4). The MS MUST support the following values:
0 indicates the dialog has been terminated by a <dialogterminate>
request.
1 indicates successful completion of the dialog.
2 indicates the dialog terminated because the connection or
conference associated with the dialog has terminated.
3 indicates the dialog terminated due to exceeding its maximum
duration.
4 indicates the dialog terminated due to an execution error.
All other valid but undefined values are reserved for future use,
where new status codes are assigned using the Standards Action
process defined in [RFC5226]. The AS MUST treat any status code
it does not recognize as being equivalent to 4 (dialog execution
error). The attribute is mandatory.
reason: a textual description that the MS SHOULD use to provide a
reason for the status code, e.g., details about an error. A valid
value is a string (see Section 4.6.6). The attribute is optional.
There is no default value.
desclang: specifies the language used in the value of the reason
attribute. A valid value is a language identifier
(Section 4.6.11). The attribute is optional. If not specified,
the value of the desclang attribute on <mscivr> (Section 4.1)
applies.
The <dialogexit> element has the following sequence of child
elements:
<promptinfo>: report information (Section 4.3.2.1) about the prompt
execution in an IVR <dialog>. The element is optional.
<controlinfo>: reports information (Section 4.3.2.2) about the
control execution in an IVR <dialog>. The element is optional.
<collectinfo>: reports information (Section 4.3.2.3) about the
collect execution in an IVR <dialog>. The element is optional.
<recordinfo>: reports information (Section 4.3.2.4) about the record
execution in an IVR <dialog>. The element is optional.
<params>: reports exit parameters (Section 4.2.6) for a dialog
language defined outside this specification. The element is
optional.
For example, when an active <dialog> exits normally, the MS sends a
dialogexit <event> reporting information:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="d6">
<dialogexit status="1">
<collectinfo dtmf="1234" termmode="match"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
4.2.5.2. <dtmfnotify>
The <dtmfnotify> element provides a notification of DTMF input
received during the active dialog as requested by a <dtmfsub>
subscription (Section 4.2.2.1).
The <dtmfnotify> element has the following attributes:
matchmode: indicates the matching mode specified in the subscription
request. Valid values are as follows:
"all" - all DTMF key presses notified individually;
"collect" - only DTMF input matched by the collect operation
notified; and
"control" - only DTMF input matched by the control operation
notified.
The attribute is optional. The default value is "all".
dtmf: DTMF key presses received according to the matchmode. A valid
value is a DTMF string (see Section 4.6.3) with no space between
characters. The attribute is mandatory.
timestamp: indicates the time (on the MS) at which the last key
press occurred according to the matchmode. A valid value is a
dateTime expression (Section 4.6.12). The attribute is mandatory.
For example, a notification of DTMF input matched during the collect
operation:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="d3">
<dtmfnotify matchmode="collect" dtmf="3123"
timestamp="2008-05-12T12:13:14Z"/>
</event>
</mscivr>
4.2.6. <params>
The <params> element is a container for <param> elements
(Section 4.2.6.1).
The <params> element has no attributes, but the following child
elements are defined (0 or more):
<param>: specifies a parameter name and value (Section 4.2.6.1).
For example, usage with a dialog language defined outside this
specification to send additional parameters into the dialog:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart type="application/x-dialog"
src="nfs://nas01/dialog4" connectionid="c1">
<params>
<param name="mode">playannouncement</param>
<param name="prompt1">nfs://nas01/media1.3gp</param>
<param name="prompt2">nfs://nas01/media2.3gp</param>
</params>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
4.2.6.1. <param>
The <param> element describes a parameter name and value.
The <param> element has the following attributes:
name: a string indicating the name of the parameter. The attribute
is mandatory.
type: specifies a type indicating how the inline value of the
parameter is to be interpreted. A valid value is a MIME media
type (see Section 4.6.10). The attribute is optional. The
default value is "text/plain".
encoding: specifies a content-transfer-encoding schema applied to
the inline value of the parameter on top of the MIME media type
specified with the type attribute. A valid value is a content-
transfer-encoding schema as defined by the "mechanism" token in
Section 6.1 of [RFC2045]. The attribute is optional. There is no
default value.
The <param> element content model is the value of the parameter.
Note that a value that contains XML characters (e.g., "<") needs to
be escaped following standard XML conventions.
For example, usage with a dialog language defined outside this
specification to receive parameters from the dialog when it exits:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="d6">
<dialogexit status="1">
<params>
<param name="mode">recording</param>
<param name="recording1" type="audio/x-wav" encoding="base64">
<![CDATA[
R0lGODlhZABqALMAAFrMYr/BvlKOVJKOg2xZUKmenMfDw8tgWJpV
]]>
</param>
</params>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
4.3. IVR Dialog Elements
This section describes the IVR dialog language defined as part of
this specification. The MS MUST support this dialog language.
The <dialog> element is an execution container for operations of
playing prompts (Section 4.3.1.1), runtime controls
(Section 4.3.1.2), collecting DTMF (Section 4.3.1.3), and recording
user input (Section 4.3.1.4). Results of the dialog execution
(Section 4.3.2) are reported in a dialogexit notification event.
Using these elements, three common dialog models are supported:
playannouncements: only a <prompt> element is specified in the
container. The prompt media resources are played in sequence.
promptandcollect: a <collect> element is specified and, optionally,
a <prompt> element. If a <prompt> element is specified and
bargein is enabled, playing of the prompt is terminated when
bargein occurs, and DTMF collection is initiated; otherwise, the
prompt is played to completion before DTMF collection is
initiated. If no prompt element is specified, DTMF collection is
initiated immediately.
promptandrecord: a <record> element is specified and, optionally, a
<prompt> element. If a <prompt> element is specified and bargein
is enabled, playing of the prompt is terminated when bargein
occurs, and recording is initiated; otherwise, the prompt is
played to completion before recording is initiated. If no prompt
element is specified, recording is initiated immediately.
In addition, this dialog language supports runtime ('VCR') controls
enabling a user to control prompt playback using DTMF.
Each of the core elements -- <prompt>, <control>, <collect>, and
<record> -- are specified so that their execution and reporting is
largely self-contained. This facilitates their reuse in other dialog
container elements. Note that DTMF and bargein behavior affects
multiple elements and is addressed in the relevant element
definitions.
Execution results are reported in the <dialogexit> notification event
with child elements defined in Section 4.3.2. If the dialog
terminated normally (i.e., not due to an error or to a
<dialogterminate> request), then the MS MUST report the results for
the operations specified in the dialog:
<prompt>: <promptinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.1) with at least the
termmode attribute specified.
<control>: <controlinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.2) if any runtime
controls are matched.
<collect>: <collectinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.3) with the dtmf and
termmode attributes specified.
<record>: <recordinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.4) with at least the
termmode attribute and one <mediainfo> element specified.
The media format requirements for IVR dialogs are undefined. This
package is agnostic to the media types and codecs for media resources
and recording that need to be supported by an implementation. For
example, an MS implementation might only support audio and in
particular the 'audio/basic' codec for media playback and recording.
However, when executing a dialog, if an MS encounters a media type or
codec that it cannot process, the MS MUST stop further processing and
report the error using the dialogexit notification.
4.3.1. <dialog>
An IVR dialog to play prompts to the user, allow runtime controls,
collect DTMF, or record input. The dialog is specified using a
<dialog> element.
A <dialog> element has the following attributes:
repeatCount: number of times the dialog is to be executed. A valid
value is a non-negative integer (see Section 4.6.4). A value of 0
indicates that the dialog is repeated until halted by other means.
The attribute is optional. The default value is 1.
repeatDur: maximum duration for dialog execution. A valid value is
a time designation (see Section 4.6.7). If no value is specified,
then there is no limit on the duration of the dialog. The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
repeatUntilComplete: indicates whether the MS terminates dialog
execution when an input operation is completed successfully. A
valid value is a boolean (see Section 4.6.1). A value of true
indicates that dialog execution is terminated when an input
operation associated with its child elements is completed
successfully (see execution model below for precise conditions).
A value of false indicates that dialog execution is terminated by
other means. The attribute is optional. The default value is
false.
The repeatDur attribute takes priority over the repeatCount attribute
in determining maximum duration of the dialog. See 'repeatCount' and
'repeatDur' in the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language
(SMIL) [W3C.REC-SMIL2-20051213] for further information. In the
situation where a dialog is repeated more than once, only the results
of operations in the last dialog iteration are reported.
The <dialog> element has the following sequence of child elements (at
least one, any order):
<prompt>: defines media resources to play in sequence (see
Section 4.3.1.1). The element is optional.
<control>: defines how DTMF is used for runtime controls (see
Section 4.3.1.2). The element is optional.
<collect>: defines how DTMF is collected (see Section 4.3.1.3). The
element is optional.
<record>: defines how recording takes place (see Section 4.3.1.4).
The element is optional.
Although the behavior when both <collect> and <record> elements are
specified in a request is not defined in this Control Package, the MS
MAY support this configuration. If the MS does not support this
configuration, the MS sends a <response> with a 433 status code.
The MS has the following execution model for the IVR dialog after
initialization (initialization errors are reported by the MS in the
response):
1. If an error occurs during execution, then the MS terminates the
dialog and reports the error in the <dialogexit> event by setting
the status attribute (see Section 4.3.2). Details about the
error are specified in the reason attribute.
2. The MS initializes a counter to 0.
3. The MS starts a duration timer for the value of the repeatDur
attribute. If the timer expires before the dialog is complete,
then the MS terminates the dialog and sends a dialogexit whose
status attribute is set to 3 (see Section 4.2.5.1). The MS MAY
report information in the dialogexit gathered in the last
execution cycle (if any).
4. The MS initiates a dialog execution cycle. Each cycle executes
the operations associated with the child elements of the dialog.
If a <prompt> element is specified, then execute the element's
prompt playing operation and activate any controls (if the
<control> element is specified). If no <prompt> is specified or
when a specified <prompt> terminates, then start the collect
operation or the record operation if the <collect> or <record>
elements, respectively, are specified. If subscriptions are
specified for the dialog, then the MS sends a notification event
when the specified event occurs. If execution of a child element
results in an error, the MS terminates dialog execution (and
stops other child element operations) and the MS sends a
dialogexit status event, reporting any information gathered.
5. If the dialog execution cycle completes successfully, then the MS
increments the counter by one. The MS terminates dialog
execution if either of the following conditions is true:
* the value of the repeatCount attribute is greater than zero,
and the counter is equal to the value of the repeatCount
attribute.
* the value of the repeatUntilComplete attribute is true and one
of the following conditions is true:
+ <collect> reports termination status of 'match' or
'stopped'.
+ <record> reports termination status of 'stopped', 'dtmf',
'maxtime', or 'finalsilence'.
When the MS terminates dialog execution, it sends a dialogexit
(with a status of 1) reporting operation information collected in
the last dialog execution cycle only. Otherwise, another dialog
execution cycle is initiated.
4.3.1.1. <prompt>
The <prompt> element specifies a sequence of media resources to play
back in document order.
A <prompt> element has the following attributes:
xml:base: A string declaring the base URI from which relative URIs
in child elements are resolved prior to fetching. A valid value
is a URI (see Section 4.6.9). The attribute is optional. There
is no default value.
bargein: Indicates whether user input stops prompt playback unless
the input is associated with a specified runtime <control>
operation (input matching control operations never interrupts
prompt playback). A valid value is a boolean (see Section 4.6.1).
A value of true indicates that bargein is permitted and prompt
playback is stopped. A value of false indicates that bargein is
not permitted: user input does not terminate prompt playback. The
attribute is optional. The default value is true.
The <prompt> element has the following child elements (at least one,
any order, multiple occurrences of elements permitted):
<media>: specifies a media resource (see Section 4.3.1.5) to play.
The element is optional.
<variable>: specifies a variable media announcement (see
Section 4.3.1.1.1) to play. The element is optional.
<dtmf>: generates one or more DTMF tones (see Section 4.3.1.1.2) to
play. The element is optional.
<par>: specifies media resources to play in parallel (see
Section 4.3.1.1.3). The element is optional.
If the MS does not support the configuration required for prompt
playback to the output media streams and a more specific error code
is not defined for its child elements, the MS sends a <response> with
a 429 status code (Section 4.5). The MS MAY support transcoding
between the media resource format and the output stream format.
The MS has the following execution model for prompt playing after
initialization:
1. The MS initiates prompt playback playing its child elements
(<media>, <variable>, <dtmf>, and <par>) one after another in
document order.
2. If any error (including fetching and rendering errors) occurs
during prompt execution, then the MS terminates playback and
reports its error status to the dialog container (see
Section 4.3) with a <promptinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.1) where the
termmode attribute is set to stopped and any additional
information is set.
3. If DTMF input is received and the value of the bargein attribute
is true, then the MS terminates prompt playback and reports its
execution status to the dialog container (see Section 4.3) with a
<promptinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.1) where the termmode attribute
is set to bargein and any additional information is set.
4. If prompt playback is stopped by the dialog container, then the
MS reports its execution status to the dialog container (see
Section 4.3) with a <promptinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.1) where the
termmode attribute is set to stopped and any additional
information is set.
5. If prompt playback completes successfully, then the MS reports
its execution status to the dialog container (see Section 4.3)
with a <promptinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.1) where the termmode
attribute is set to completed and any additional information is
set.
4.3.1.1.1. <variable>
The <variable> element specifies variable announcements using
predefined media resources. Each variable has at least a type (e.g.,
date) and a value (e.g., 2008-02-25). The value is rendered
according to the prompt variable type (e.g., 2008-02-25 is rendered
as the date 25th February 2008). The precise mechanism for
generating variable announcements (including the location of
associated media resources) is implementation specific.
A <variable> element has the following attributes:
type: specifies the type of prompt variable to render. This
specification defines three values -- date (Section 4.3.1.1.1.1),
time (Section 4.3.1.1.1.2), and digits (Section 4.3.1.1.1.3). All
other valid but undefined values are reserved for future use,
where new values are assigned as described in Section 8.5. A
valid value is a string (see Section 4.6.6). The attribute is
mandatory.
value: specifies a string to be rendered according to the prompt
variable type. A valid value is a string (see Section 4.6.6).
The attribute is mandatory.
format: specifies format information that the prompt variable type
uses to render the value attribute. A valid value is a string
(see Section 4.6.6). The attribute is optional. There is no
default value.
gender: specifies the gender that the prompt variable type uses to
render the value attribute. Valid values are "male" or "female".
The attribute is optional. There is no default value.
xml:lang: specifies the language that the prompt variable type uses
to render the value attribute. A valid value is a language
identifier (see Section 4.6.11). The attribute is optional.
There is no default value.
The <variable> element has no children.
This specification is agnostic to the type and codec of media
resources into which variables are rendered as well as the rendering
mechanism itself. For example, an MS implementation supporting audio
rendering could map the <variable> into one or more audio media
resources.
This package is agnostic to which <variable> types are supported by
an implementation. If a <variable> element configuration specified
in a request is not supported by the MS, the MS sends a <response>
with a 425 status code (Section 4.5).
4.3.1.1.1.1. Date Type
The date variable type provides a mechanism for dynamically rendering
a date prompt.
The <variable> type attribute MUST have the value "date".
The <variable> format attribute MUST be one of the following values
and comply with its rendering of the value attribute:
mdy indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as sequence composed of month, then day, then year.
ymd indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as sequence composed of year, then month, then day.
dym indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as sequence composed of day, then year, then month.
dm indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as sequence composed of day then month.
The <variable> value attribute MUST comply with a lexical
representation of date where
yyyy '-' mm '-' dd
as defined in Section 3.2.9 of [XMLSchema:Part2].
For example,
<variable type="date" format="dmy" value="2010-11-25"
xml:lang="en" gender="male"/>
describes a variable date prompt where the date can be rendered in
audio as "twenty-fifth of November two thousand and ten" using a list
of <media> resources:
<media loc="nfs://voicebase/en/male/25th.wav"/>
<media loc="nfs://voicebase/en/male/of.wav"/>
<media loc="nfs://voicebase/en/male/november.wav"/>
<media loc="nfs://voicebase/en/male/2000.wav"/>
<media loc="nfs://voicebase/en/male/and.wav"/>
<media loc="nfs://voicebase/en/male/10.wav"/>
4.3.1.1.1.2. Time Type
The time variable type provides a mechanism for dynamically rendering
a time prompt.
The <variable> type attribute MUST have the value "time".
The <variable> format attribute MUST be one of the following values
and comply with its rendering of the value attribute:
t12 indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as a time in traditional 12-hour format using am or pm (for
example, "twenty-five minutes past 2 pm" for "14:25").
t24 indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as a time in 24-hour format (for example, "fourteen twenty-five"
for "14:25").
The <variable> value attribute MUST comply with a lexical
representation of time where
hh ':' mm ( ':' ss )?
as defined in Section 3.2.8 of [XMLSchema:Part2].
4.3.1.1.1.3. Digits Type
The digits variable type provides a mechanism for dynamically
rendering a digit sequence.
The <variable> type attribute MUST have the value "digits".
The <variable> format attribute MUST be one of the following values
and comply with its rendering of the value attribute:
gen indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as a general digit string (for example, "one two three" for
"123").
crn indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as a cardinal number (for example, "one hundred and twenty-
three" for "123").
ord indicating that the <variable> value attribute is to be rendered
as an ordinal number (for example, "one hundred and twenty-
third" for "123").
The <variable> value attribute MUST comply with the lexical
representation
d+
i.e., one or more digits.
4.3.1.1.2. <dtmf>
The <dtmf> element specifies a sequence of DTMF tones for output.
DTMF tones could be generated using <media> resources where the
output is transported as RTP audio packets. However, <media>
resources are not sufficient for cases where DTMF tones are to be
transported as DTMF RTP [RFC4733] or in event packages.
A <dtmf> element has the following attributes:
digits: specifies the DTMF sequence to output. A valid value is a
DTMF string (see Section 4.6.3). The attribute is mandatory.
level: used to define the power level for which the DTMF tones will
be generated. Values are expressed in dBm0. A valid value is an
integer in the range of 0 to -96 (dBm0). Larger negative values
express lower power levels. Note that values lower than -55 dBm0
will be rejected by most receivers (TR-TSY-000181, ITU-T Q.24A).
The attribute is optional. The default value is -6 (dBm0).
duration: specifies the duration for which each DTMF tone is
generated. A valid value is a time designation (see
Section 4.6.7). The MS MAY round the value if it only supports
discrete durations. The attribute is optional. The default value
is 100 ms.
interval: specifies the duration of a silence interval following
each generated DTMF tone. A valid value is a time designation
(see Section 4.6.7). The MS MAY round the value if it only
supports discrete durations. The attribute is optional. The
default value is 100 ms.
The <dtmf> element has no children.
If a <dtmf> element configuration is not supported, the MS sends a
<response> with a 426 status code (Section 4.5).
4.3.1.1.3. <par>
The <par> element allows media resources to be played in parallel.
Each of its child elements specifies a media resource (or a sequence
of media resources using the <seq> element). When playback of the
<par> element is initiated, the MS begins playback of all its child
elements at the same time. This element is modeled after the <par>
element in SMIL [W3C.REC-SMIL2-20051213].
The <par> element has the following attributes:
endsync: indicates when playback of the element is complete. Valid
values are "first" (indicates that the element is complete when
any child element reports that it is complete) and "last"
(indicates it is complete when every child elements are complete).
The attribute is optional. The default value is "last".
If the value is "first", then playback of other child elements is
stopped when one child element reports it is complete.
The <par> element has the following child elements (at least one, any
order, multiple occurrences of each element permitted):
<seq>: specifies a sequence of media resources to play in parallel
with other <par> child elements (see Section 4.3.1.1.3.1). The
element is optional.
<media>: specifies a media resource (see Section 4.3.1.5) to play.
The MS is responsible for assigning the appropriate media
stream(s) when more than one is available. The element is
optional.
<variable>: specifies a variable media announcement (see
Section 4.3.1.1.1) to play. The element is optional.
<dtmf>: generates one or more DTMF tones (see Section 4.3.1.1.2) to
play. The element is optional.
It is RECOMMENDED that a <par> element contains only one <media>
element of the same media type (i.e., same type-name as defined in
Section 4.6.10). If a <par> element configuration is not supported,
the MS sends a <response> with a 435 status code (Section 4.5).
Runtime <control>s (Section 4.3.1.2) apply to each child element
playing in parallel. For example, pause and resume controls cause
all child elements to be paused and resumed, respectively.
If the <par> element is stopped by the prompt container (e.g.,
bargein or dialog termination), then playback of all child elements
is stopped. The playback duration (Section 4.3.2.1) reported for the
<par> element is the duration of parallel playback, not the
cumulative duration of each child element played in parallel.
For example, a request to playback audio and video media in parallel:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="c1">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<par>
<media type="audio/x-wav"
loc="http://www.example.com/media/comments.wav"/>
<media type="video/3gpp;codecs='s263'"
loc="http://www.example.com/media/camera.3gp"/>
</par>
</prompt>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
When the <prompt> element is executed, it begins playback of its
child element in document-order sequence. In this case, there is
only one child element, a <par> element itself containing audio and
video <media> child elements. Consequently, playback of both audio
and video media resources is initiated at the same time. Since the
endsync attribute is not specified, the default value "last" applies.
The <par> element playback is complete when the media resource with
the longest duration is complete.
4.3.1.1.3.1. <seq>
The <seq> element specifies media resources to be played back in
sequence. This allows a sequence of media resources to be played at
the same time as other children of a <par> element are played in
parallel, for example, a sequence of audio resources while a video
resource is played in parallel. This element is modeled after the
<seq> element in SMIL [W3C.REC-SMIL2-20051213].
The <seq> element has no attributes.
The <seq> element has the following child elements (at least one, any
order, multiple occurrences of each element permitted):
<media>: specifies a media resource (see Section 4.3.1.5) to play.
The element is optional.
<variable>: specifies a variable media announcement (see
Section 4.3.1.1.1) to play. The element is optional.
<dtmf>: generates one or more DTMF tones (see Section 4.3.1.1.2) to
play. The element is optional.
Playback of a <seq> element is complete when all child elements in
the sequence are complete. If the <seq> element is stopped by the
<par> container, then playback of the current child element is
stopped (remaining child elements in the sequence are not played).
For example, a request to play a sequence of audio resources in
parallel with a video media:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="c1">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<par endsync="first">
<seq>
<media type="audio/x-wav"
loc="http://www.example.com/media/date.wav"/>
<media type="audio/x-wav"
loc="http://www.example.com/media/intro.wav"/>
<media type="audio/x-wav"
loc="http://www.example.com/media/main.wav"/>
<media type="audio/x-wav"
loc="http://www.example.com/media/end.wav"/>
</seq>
<media type="video/3gpp;codecs='s263'"
loc="rtsp://www.example.com/media/camera.3gp"/>
</par>
</prompt>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
When the <prompt> element is executed, it begins playback of the
<par> element containing a <seq> element and a video <media> element.
The <seq> element itself contains a sequence of audio <media>
elements. Consequently, playback of the video media resource is
initiated at the same time as playback of the sequence of the audio
media resources is initiated. Each audio resource is played back
after the previous one completes. Since the endsync attribute is set
to "first", the <par> element playback is complete when either all
the audio resources in <seq> have been played to completion or the
video <media> is complete, whichever occurs first.
4.3.1.2. <control>
The <control> element defines how DTMF input is mapped to runtime
controls, including prompt playback controls.
DTMF input matching these controls MUST NOT cause prompt playback to
be interrupted (i.e., no prompt bargein), but causes the appropriate
operation to be applied, for example, speeding up prompt playback.
DTMF input matching these controls has priority over <collect> input
for the duration of prompt playback. If an incoming DTMF character
matches a specified runtime control, then the DTMF character is
consumed: it is not added to the digit buffer and so is not available
to the <collect> operation. Once prompt playback is complete,
runtime controls are no longer active.
The <control> element has the following attributes:
gotostartkey: maps a DTMF key to skip directly to the start of the
prompt. A valid value is a DTMF character (see Section 4.6.2).
The attribute is optional. There is no default value.
gotoendkey: maps a DTMF key to skip directly to the end of the
prompt. A valid value is a DTMF character (see Section 4.6.2).
The attribute is optional. There is no default value.
skipinterval: indicates how far an MS skips backwards or forwards
through prompt playback when the rewind (rwkey) of fast forward
key (ffkey) is pressed. A valid value is a Time Designation (see
Section 4.6.7). The attribute is optional. The default value is
6s.
ffkey: maps a DTMF key to a fast forward operation equal to the
value of 'skipinterval'. A valid value is a DTMF character (see
Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional. There is no default
value.
rwkey: maps a DTMF key to a rewind operation equal to the value of
'skipinterval'. A valid value is a DTMF character (see
Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional. There is no default
value.
pauseinterval: indicates how long an MS pauses prompt playback when
the pausekey is pressed. A valid value is a Time Designation (see
Section 4.6.7). The attribute is optional. The default value is
10s.
pausekey: maps a DTMF key to a pause operation equal to the value of
'pauseinterval'. A valid value is a DTMF character (see
Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional. There is no default
value.
resumekey: maps a DTMF key to a resume operation. A valid value is
a DTMF character (see Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional.
There is no default value.
volumeinterval: indicates the increase or decrease in playback
volume (relative to the current volume) when the volupkey or
voldnkey is pressed. A valid value is a percentage (see
Section 4.6.8). The attribute is optional. The default value is
10%.
volupkey: maps a DTMF key to a volume increase operation equal to
the value of 'volumeinterval'. A valid value is a DTMF character
(see Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional. There is no
default value.
voldnkey: maps a DTMF key to a volume decrease operation equal to
the value of 'volumeinterval'. A valid value is a DTMF character
(see Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional. There is no
default value.
speedinterval: indicates the increase or decrease in playback speed
(relative to the current speed) when the speedupkey or speeddnkey
is pressed. A valid value is a percentage (see Section 4.6.8).
The attribute is optional. The default value is 10%.
speedupkey: maps a DTMF key to a speed increase operation equal to
the value of the speedinterval attribute. A valid value is a DTMF
character (see Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional. There
is no default value.
speeddnkey: maps a DTMF key to a speed decrease operation equal to
the value of the speedinterval attribute. A valid value is a DTMF
character (see Section 4.6.2). The attribute is optional. There
is no default value.
external: allows one or more DTMF keys to be declared as external
controls (for example, video camera controls); the MS can send
notifications when a matching key is activated using <dtmfnotify>
(Section 4.2.5.2). A valid value is a DTMF string (see
Section 4.6.3). The attribute is optional. There is no default
value.
If the same DTMF is specified in more than one DTMF key control
attribute -- except the pausekey and resumekey attributes -- the MS
sends a <response> with a 413 status code (Section 4.5).
The MS has the following execution model for runtime control after
initialization:
1. If an error occurs during execution, then the MS terminates
runtime control and the error is reported to the dialog
container. The MS MAY report controls executed successfully
before the error in <controlinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.2).
2. Runtime controls are active only during prompt playback (if no
<prompt> element is specified, then runtime controls are
ignored). If DTMF input matches any specified keys (for example,
the ffkey), then the MS applies the appropriate operation
immediately. If a seek operation (ffkey, rwkey) attempts to go
beyond the beginning or end of the prompt queue, then the MS
automatically truncates it to the prompt queue beginning or end,
respectively. If a volume operation (voldnkey, volupkey)
attempts to go beyond the minimum or maximum volume supported by
the platform, then the MS automatically limits the operation to
minimum or maximum supported volume, respectively. If a speed
operation (speeddnkey, speedupkey) attempts to go beyond the
minimum or maximum playback speed supported by the platform, then
the MS automatically limits the operation to minimum or maximum
supported speed, respectively. If the pause operation attempts
to pause output when it is already paused, then the operation is
ignored. If the resume operation attempts to resume when the
prompts are not paused, then the operation is ignored. If a
seek, volume, or speed operation is applied when output is
paused, then the MS also resumes output automatically.
3. If DTMF control subscription has been specified for the dialog,
then each DTMF match of a control operation is reported in a
<dtmfnotify> notification event (Section 4.2.5.2).
4. When the dialog exits, all control matches are reported in a
<controlinfo> element (Section 4.3.2.2).
4.3.1.3. <collect>
The <collect> element defines how DTMF input is collected.
The <collect> element has the following attributes:
cleardigitbuffer: indicates whether the digit buffer is to be
cleared. A valid value is a boolean (see Section 4.6.1). A value
of true indicates that the digit buffer is to be cleared. A value
of false indicates that the digit buffer is not to be cleared.
The attribute is optional. The default value is true.
timeout: indicates the maximum time to wait for user input to begin.
A valid value is a Time Designation (see Section 4.6.7). The
attribute is optional. The default value is 5s.
interdigittimeout: indicates the maximum time to wait for another
DTMF when the collected input is incomplete with respect to the
grammar. A valid value is a Time Designation (see Section 4.6.7).
The attribute is optional. The default value is 2s.
termtimeout: indicates the maximum time to wait for the termchar
character when the collected input is complete with respect to the
grammar. A valid value is a Time Designation (see Section 4.6.7).
The attribute is optional. The default value is 0s (no delay).
escapekey: specifies a DTMF key that indicates collected grammar
matches are discarded and the DTMF collection is to be re-
initiated. A valid value is a DTMF character (see Section 4.6.2).
The attribute is optional. There is no default value.
termchar: specifies a DTMF character for terminating DTMF input
collection using the internal grammar. It is ignored when a
custom grammar is specified. A valid value is a DTMF character
(see Section 4.6.2). To disable termination by a conventional
DTMF character, set the parameter to an unconventional character
like 'A'. The attribute is optional. The default value is '#'.
maxdigits: The maximum number of digits to collect using an internal
digits (0-9 only) grammar. It is ignored when a custom grammar is
specified. A valid value is a positive integer (see
Section 4.6.5). The attribute is optional. The default value is
5.
The following matching priority is defined for incoming DTMF:
termchar attribute, escapekey attribute, and then as part of a
grammar. For example, if "1" is defined as the escapekey attribute
and as part of a grammar, then its interpretation as an escapekey
takes priority.
The <collect> element has the following child element:
<grammar>: indicates a custom grammar format (see
Section 4.3.1.3.1). The element is optional.
The custom grammar takes priority over the internal grammar. If a
<grammar> element is specified, the MS MUST use it for DTMF
collection.
The MS has the following execution model for DTMF collection after
initialization:
1. The DTMF collection buffer MUST NOT receive DTMF input matching
<control> operations (see Section 4.3.1.2).
2. If an error occurs during execution, then the MS terminates
collection and reports the error to the dialog container (see
Section 4.3). The MS MAY report DTMF collected before the error
in <collectinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.3).
3. The MS clears the digit buffer if the value of the
cleardigitbuffer attribute is true.
4. The MS activates an initial timer with the duration of the value
of the timeout attribute. If the initial timer expires before
any DTMF input is received, then collection execution terminates,
the <collectinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.3) has the termmode
attribute set to noinput and the execution status is reported to
the dialog container.
5. When the first DTMF collect input is received, the initial timer
is canceled and DTMF collection begins. Each DTMF input is
collected unless it matches the value of the escapekey attribute
or the termchar attribute when the internal grammar is used.
Collected input is matched against the grammar to determine if it
is valid and, if valid, whether collection is complete. Valid
DTMF patterns are either a simple digit string where the maximum
length is determined by the maxdigits attribute and that can be
optionally terminated by the character in the termchar attribute,
or a custom DTMF grammar specified with the <grammar> element.
6. After escapekey input, or a valid input that does not complete
the grammar, the MS activates a timer for the value of the
interdigittimeout attribute or the termtimeout attribute. The MS
only uses the termtimeout value when the grammar does not allow
any additional input; otherwise, the MS uses the
interdigittimeout.
7. If DTMF collect input matches the value of the escapekey
attribute, then the MS re-initializes DTMF collection: i.e., the
MS discards collected DTMFs already matched against the grammar,
and the MS attempts to match incoming DTMF (including any pending
in the digit buffer) as described in Step 5 above.
8. If the collect input is not valid with respect to the grammar or
an interdigittimeout timer expires, the MS terminates collection
execution and reports execution status to the dialog container
with a <collectinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.3) where the termmode
attribute is set to nomatch.
9. If the collect input completes the grammar or if a termtimeout
timer expires, then the MS terminates collection execution and
reports execution status to the dialog container with
<collectinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.3) where the termmode attribute
is set to match.
4.3.1.3.1. <grammar>
The <grammar> element allows a custom grammar, inline or external, to
be specified. Custom grammars permit the full range of DTMF
characters including '*' and '#' to be specified for DTMF pattern
matching.
The <grammar> element has the following attributes:
src: specifies the location of an external grammar document. A
valid value is a URI (see Section 4.6.9). The MS MUST support
both HTTP [RFC2616] and HTTPS [RFC2818] schemes and the MS MAY
support other schemes. If the URI scheme is unsupported, the MS
sends a <response> with a 420 status code (Section 4.5). If the
resource cannot be retrieved within the timeout interval, the MS
sends a <response> with a 409 status code. If the grammar format
is not supported, the MS sends a <response> with a 424 status
code. The attribute is optional. There is no default value.
type: identifies the preferred type of the grammar document
identified by the src attribute. A valid value is a MIME media
type (see Section 4.6.10). If the URI scheme used in the src
attribute defines a mechanism for establishing the authoritative
MIME media type of the media resource, the value returned by that
mechanism takes precedence over this attribute. The attribute is
optional. There is no default value.
fetchtimeout: the maximum interval to wait when fetching a grammar
resource. A valid value is a Time Designation (see
Section 4.6.7). The attribute is optional. The default value is
30s.
The <grammar> element allows inline grammars to be specified. XML
grammar formats MUST use a namespace other than the one used in this
specification. Non-XML grammar formats MAY use a CDATA section.
The MS MUST support the Speech Recognition Grammar Specification
[SRGS] XML grammar format ("application/srgs+xml") and MS MAY support
the Key Press Markup Language (KPML) [RFC4730] or other grammar
formats. If the grammar format is not supported by the MS, then the
MS sends a <response> with a 424 status code (Section 4.5).
For example, the following fragment shows DTMF collection with an
inline SRGS grammar:
<collect cleardigitbuffer="false" timeout="20s"
interdigittimeout="1s">
<grammar>
<grammar xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar"
version="1.0" mode="dtmf">
<rule id="digit">
<one-of>
<item>0</item>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
<item>4</item>
<item>5</item>
<item>6</item>
<item>7</item>
<item>8</item>
<item>9</item>
</one-of>
</rule>
<rule id="pin" scope="public">
<one-of>
<item>
<item repeat="4">
<ruleref uri="#digit"/>
</item>#</item>
<item>* 9</item>
</one-of>
</rule>
</grammar>
</grammar>
</collect>
The same grammar could also be referenced externally (and take
advantage of HTTP caching):
<collect cleardigitbuffer="false" timeout="20s">
<grammar type="application/srgs+xml"
src="http://example.org/pin.grxml"/>
</collect>
4.3.1.4. <record>
The <record> element specifies how media input is recorded.
The <record> element has the following attributes:
timeout: indicates the time to wait for user input to begin. A
valid value is a Time Designation (see Section 4.6.7). The
attribute is optional. The default value is 5s.
vadinitial: controls whether Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is used
to initiate the recording operation. A valid value is a boolean
(see Section 4.6.1). A value of true indicates the MS MUST
initiate recording if the VAD detects voice on the configured
inbound audio streams. A value of false indicates that the MS
MUST NOT initiate recording using VAD. The attribute is optional.
The default value is false.
vadfinal: controls whether VAD is used to terminate the recording
operation. A valid value is a boolean (see Section 4.6.1). A
value of true indicates the MS MUST terminate recording if the VAD
detects a period of silence (whose duration is specified by the
finalsilence attribute) on configured inbound audio streams. A
value of false indicates that the MS MUST NOT terminate recording
using VAD. The attribute is optional. The default value is
false.
dtmfterm: indicates whether the recording operation is terminated by
DTMF input. A valid value is a boolean (see Section 4.6.1). A
value of true indicates that recording is terminated by DTMF
input. A value of false indicates that recording is not
terminated by DTMF input. The attribute is optional. The default
value is true.
maxtime: indicates the maximum duration of the recording. A valid
value is a Time Designation (see Section 4.6.7). The attribute is
optional. The default value is 15s.
beep: indicates whether a 'beep' is to be played immediately prior
to initiation of the recording operation. A valid value is a
boolean (see Section 4.6.1). The attribute is optional. The
default value is false.
finalsilence: indicates the interval of silence that indicates the
end of voice input. This interval is not part of the recording
itself. This parameter is ignored if the vadfinal attribute has
the value false. A valid value is a Time Designation (see
Section 4.6.7). The attribute is optional. The default value is
5s.
append: indicates whether recorded data is appended or not to a
recording location if a resource already exists. A valid value is
a boolean (see Section 4.6.1). A value of true indicates that
recorded data is appended to the existing resource at a recording
location. A value of false indicates that recorded data is to
overwrite the existing resource. The attribute is optional. The
default value is false.
When a recording location is specified using the HTTP or HTTPS
protocol, the recording operation SHOULD be performed using the
HTTP GET and PUT methods, unless the HTTP server provides a
special interface for recording uploads and appends (e.g., using
POST). When the append attribute has the value false, the
recording data is uploaded to the specified location using HTTP
PUT and replaces any data at that location on the HTTP origin
server. When append has the value true, the existing data (if
any) is first downloaded from the specified location using HTTP
GET, then the recording data is appended to the existing recording
(note that this might require codec conversion and modification to
the existing data), then the combined recording is uploaded to the
specified location using HTTP PUT. HTTP errors are handled as
described in [RFC2616].
When the recording location is specified using protocols other
than HTTP or HTTPS, the mapping of the append operation onto the
upload protocol scheme is implementation specific.
If either the vadinitial or vadfinal attribute is set to true and the
MS does not support VAD, the MS sends a <response> with a 434 status
code (Section 4.5).
The <record> element has the following child element (0 or more
occurrences):
<media>: specifies the location and type of the media resource for
uploading recorded data (see Section 4.3.1.5). The MS MUST
support both HTTP [RFC2616] and HTTPS [RFC2818] schemes for
uploading recorded data and the MS MAY support other schemes. The
MS uploads recorded data to this resource as soon as possible
after recording is complete. The element is optional.
If multiple <media> elements are specified, then media input is to be
recorded in parallel to multiple resource locations.
If no <media> child element is specified, the MS MUST record media
input but the recording location and the recording format are
implementation specific (e.g., the MS records audio in the WAV format
to a local disk accessible by HTTP). The recording location and
format are reported in <recordinfo> (Section 4.3.2.4) when the dialog
terminates. The recording MUST be available from this location until
the connection or conference associated with the dialog on the MS
terminates.
If the MS does not support the configuration required for recording
from the input media streams to one or more <media> elements and a
more specific error code is not defined for its child elements, the
MS sends a <response> with a 423 status code (Section 4.5).
Note that an MS MAY support uploading recorded data to recording
locations at the same time the recording operation takes place. Such
implementations need to be aware of the requirements of certain
recording formats (e.g., WAV) for metadata at the beginning of the
uploaded file, that the finalsilence interval is not part of the
recording and how these requirements interact with the URI scheme.
The MS has the following execution model for recording after
initialization:
1. If an error occurs during execution (e.g., authentication or
communication error when trying to upload to a recording
location), then the MS terminates record execution and reports
the error to the dialog container (see Section 4.3). The MS MAY
report data recorded before the error in <recordinfo> (see
Section 4.3.2.4).
2. If DTMF input (not matching a <control> operation) is received
during prompt playback and the prompt bargein attribute is set to
true, then the MS activates the record execution. Otherwise, the
MS activates it after the completion of prompt playback.
3. If a beep attribute with the value of true is specified, then the
MS plays a beep tone.
4. The MS activates a timer with the duration of the value of the
timeout attribute. If the timer expires before the recording
operation begins, then the MS terminates the recording execution
and reports the status to dialog container with <recordinfo> (see
Section 4.3.2.4) where the termmode attribute is set to noinput.
5. Initiation of the recording operation depends on the value of the
vadinitial attribute. If vadinitial has the value false, then
the recording operation is initiated immediately. Otherwise, the
recording operation is initiated when voice activity is detected.
6. When the recording operation is initiated, a timer is started for
the value of the maxtime attribute (maximum duration of the
recording). If the timer expires before the recording operation
is complete, then the MS terminates recording execution and
reports the execution status to the dialog container with
<recordinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.4) where the termmode attribute
set to maxtime.
7. During the record operation input, media streams are recording to
a location and format specified in one or more <media> child
elements. If no <media> child element is specified, the MS
records input to an implementation-specific location and format.
8. If the dtmfterm attribute has the value true and DTMF input is
detected during the record operation, then the MS terminates
recording and its status is reported to the dialog container with
a <recordinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.4) where the termmode attribute
is set to dtmf.
9. If vadfinal attribute has the value true, then the MS terminates
the recording operation when a period of silence, with the
duration specified by the value of the finalsilence attribute, is
detected. This period of silence is not part of the final
recording. The status is reported to the dialog container with a
<recordinfo> (see Section 4.3.2.4) where the termmode attribute
is set to finalsilence.
For example, a request to record audio and video input to separate
locations:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="c1">
<dialog>
<record maxtime="30s" vadinitial="false" vadfinal="false">
<media type="audio/x-wav"
loc="http://www.example.com/upload/audio.wav"/>
<media type="video/3gpp;codecs='s263'"
loc="http://www.example.com/upload/video.3gp"/>
</record>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
When the <record> element is executed, it immediately begins
recording of the audio and video (since vadinitial is false) where
the destination locations are specified in the <media> child
elements. Recording is completed when the duration reaches 30s or
the connection is terminated.
4.3.1.5. <media>
The <media> element specifies a media resource to playback from (see
Section 4.3.1.1) or record to (see Section 4.3.1.4). In the playback
case, the resource is retrieved and in the recording case, recording
data is uploaded to the resource location.
A <media> element has the following attributes:
loc: specifies the location of the media resource. A valid value is
a URI (see Section 4.6.9). The MS MUST support both HTTP
[RFC2616] and HTTPS [RFC2818] schemes and the MS MAY support other
schemes. If the URI scheme is not supported by the MS, the MS
sends a <response> with a 420 status code (Section 4.5). If the
resource is to be retrieved but the MS cannot retrieve it within
the timeout interval, the MS sends a <response> with a 409 status
code. If the format of the media resource is not supported, the
MS sends a <response> with a 429 status code. The attribute is
mandatory.
type: specifies the type of the media resource indicated in the loc
attribute. A valid value is a MIME media type (see
Section 4.6.10) that, depending on its definition, can include
additional parameters (e.g., [RFC4281]). If the URI scheme used
in the loc attribute defines a mechanism for establishing the
authoratitive MIME media type of the media resource, the value
returned by that mechanism takes precedence over this attribute.
If additional media parameters are specified, the MS MUST use them
to determine media processing. For example, [RFC4281] defines a
'codec' parameter for media types like video/3gpp that would
determine which media streams are played or recorded. The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
fetchtimeout: the maximum interval to wait when fetching a media
resource. A valid value is a Time Designation (see
Section 4.6.7). The attribute is optional. The default value is
30s.
soundLevel: playback soundLevel (volume) for the media resource. A
valid value is a percentage (see Section 4.6.8). The value
indicates increase or decrease relative to the original recorded
volume of the media. A value of 100% (the default) plays the
media at its recorded volume, a value of 200% will play the media
twice recorded volume, 50% at half its recorded volume, a value of
0% will play the media silently, and so on. See 'soundLevel' in
SMIL [W3C.REC-SMIL2-20051213] for further information. The
attribute is optional. The default value is 100%.
clipBegin: offset from start of media resource to begin playback. A
valid value is a Time Designation (see Section 4.6.7). The offset
is measured in normal media playback time from the beginning of
the media resource. If the clipBegin offset is after the end of
media (or the clipEnd offset), no media is played. See
'clipBegin' in SMIL [W3C.REC-SMIL2-20051213] for further
information. The attribute is optional. The default value is 0s.
clipEnd: offset from start of media resource to end playback. A
valid value is a Time Designation (see Section 4.6.7). The offset
is measured in normal media playback time from the beginning of
the media resource. If the clipEnd offset is after the end of
media, then the media is played to the end. If clipBegin is after
clipEnd, then no media is played. See 'clipEnd' in SMIL
[W3C.REC-SMIL2-20051213] for further information. The attribute
is optional. There is no default value.
The fetchtimeout, soundLevel, clipBegin, and clipEnd attributes are
only relevant in the playback use case. The MS ignores these
attributes when using the <media> for recording.
The <media> element has no children.
4.3.2. Exit Information
When the dialog exits, information about the specified operations is
reported in a <dialogexit> notification event (Section 4.2.5.1).
4.3.2.1. <promptinfo>
The <promptinfo> element reports the information about prompt
execution. It has the following attributes:
duration: indicates the duration of prompt playback in milliseconds.
A valid value is a non-negative integer (see Section 4.6.4). The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
termmode: indicates how playback was terminated. Valid values are
'stopped', 'completed', or 'bargein'. The attribute is mandatory.
The <promptinfo> element has no child elements.
4.3.2.2. <controlinfo>
The <controlinfo> element reports information about control
execution.
The <controlinfo> element has no attributes and has 0 or more
<controlmatch> child elements each describing an individual runtime
control match.
4.3.2.2.1. <controlmatch>
The <controlmatch> element has the following attributes:
dtmf: DTMF input triggering the runtime control. A valid value is a
DTMF string (see Section 4.6.3) with no space between characters.
The attribute is mandatory.
timestamp: indicates the time (on the MS) at which the control was
triggered. A valid value is a dateTime expression
(Section 4.6.12). The attribute is mandatory.
The <controlmatch> element has no child elements.
4.3.2.3. <collectinfo>
The <collectinfo> element reports the information about collect
execution.
The <collectinfo> element has the following attributes:
dtmf: DTMF input collected from the user. A valid value is a DTMF
string (see Section 4.6.3) with no space between characters. The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
termmode: indicates how collection was terminated. Valid values are
'stopped', 'match', 'noinput', or 'nomatch'. The attribute is
mandatory.
The <collectinfo> element has no child elements.
4.3.2.4. <recordinfo>
The <recordinfo> element reports information about record execution
(Section 4.3.1.4).
The <recordinfo> element has the following attributes:
termmode: indicates how recording was terminated. Valid values are
'stopped', 'noinput', 'dtmf', 'maxtime', and 'finalsilence'. The
attribute is mandatory.
duration: indicates the duration of the recording in milliseconds.
A valid value is a non-negative integer (see Section 4.6.4). The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
The <recordinfo> element has the following child element (0 or more
occurrences):
<mediainfo>: indicates information about a recorded media resource
(see Section 4.3.2.4.1). The element is optional.
When the record operation is successful, the MS MUST specify a
<mediainfo> element for each recording location. For example, if the
<record> element contained three <media> child elements, then the
<recordinfo> would contain three <mediainfo> child elements.
4.3.2.4.1. <mediainfo>
The <mediainfo> element reports information about a recorded media
resource.
The <mediainfo> element has the following attributes:
loc: indicates the location of the media resource. A valid value is
a URI (see Section 4.6.9). The attribute is mandatory.
type: indicates the format of the media resource. A valid value is
a MIME media type (see Section 4.6.10). The attribute is
mandatory.
size: indicates the size of the media resource in bytes. A valid
value is a non-negative integer (see Section 4.6.4). The
attribute is optional. There is no default value.
4.4. Audit Elements
The audit elements defined in this section allow the MS to be audited
for package capabilities as well as dialogs managed by the package.
Auditing is particularly important for two use cases. First, it
enables discovery of package capabilities supported on an MS before
an AS starts a dialog on connection or conference. The AS can then
use this information to create request elements using supported
capabilities and, in the case of codecs, to negotiate an appropriate
SDP for a User Agent's connection. Second, auditing enables
discovery of the existence and status of dialogs currently managed by
the package on the MS. This could be used when one AS takes over
management of the dialogs if the AS that initiated the dialogs fails
or is no longer available (see Security Considerations described in
Section 7).
4.4.1. <audit>
The <audit> request element is sent to the MS to request information
about the capabilities of, and dialogs currently managed with, this
Control Package. Capabilities include supported dialog languages,
grammar formats, record and media types, as well as codecs. Dialog
information includes the status of managed dialogs as well as codecs.
The <audit> element has the following attributes:
capabilities: indicates whether package capabilities are to be
audited. A valid value is a boolean (see Section 4.6.1). A value
of true indicates that capability information is to be reported.
A value of false indicates that capability information is not to
be reported. The attribute is optional. The default value is
true.
dialogs: indicates whether dialogs currently managed by the package
are to be audited. A valid value is a boolean (see
Section 4.6.1). A value of true indicates that dialog information
is to be reported. A value of false indicates that dialog
information is not to be reported. The attribute is optional.
The default value is true.
dialogid: string identifying a specific dialog to audit. The MS
sends a response with a 406 status code (Section 4.5) if the
specified dialog identifier is invalid. The attribute is
optional. There is no default value.
If the dialogs attribute has the value true and dialogid attribute is
specified, then only audit information about the specified dialog is
reported. If the dialogs attribute has the value false, then no
dialog audit information is reported even if a dialogid attribute is
specified.
The <audit> element has no child elements.
When the MS receives an <audit> request, it MUST reply with an
<auditresponse> element (Section 4.4.2), which includes a mandatory
attribute describing the status in terms of a numeric code. Response
status codes are defined in Section 4.5. If the request is
successful, the <auditresponse> contains (depending on attribute
values) a <capabilities> element (Section 4.4.2.2) reporting package
capabilities and a <dialogs> element (Section 4.4.2.3) reporting
managed dialog information. If the MS is not able to process the
request and carry out the audit operation, the audit request has
failed and the MS MUST indicate the class of failure using an
appropriate 4xx response code. Unless an error response code is
specified for a class of error within this section, implementations
follow Section 4.5 in determining the appropriate status code for the
response.
For example, a request to audit capabilities and dialogs managed by
the package:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<audit/>
</mscivr>
In this example, only capabilities are to be audited:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<audit dialogs="false"/>
</mscivr>
With this example, only a specific dialog is to be audited:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<audit capabilities="false" dialogid="d4"/>
</mscivr>
4.4.2. <auditresponse>
The <auditresponse> element describes a response to an <audit>
request.
The <auditresponse> element has the following attributes:
status: numeric code indicating the audit response status. The
attribute is mandatory. Valid values are defined in Section 4.5.
reason: string specifying a reason for the status. The attribute is
optional.
desclang: specifies the language used in the value of the reason
attribute. A valid value is a language identifier
(Section 4.6.11). The attribute is optional. If not specified,
the value of the desclang attribute on <mscivr> (Section 4.1)
applies.
The <auditresponse> element has the following sequence of child
elements:
<capabilities> element (Section 4.4.2.2) describing capabilities of
the package. The element is optional.
<dialogs> element (Section 4.4.2.3) describing information about
managed dialogs. The element is optional.
For example, a successful response to an <audit> request requesting
capabilities and dialogs information:

4.5. Response Status Codes
This section describes the response codes in Table 1 for the status
attribute of dialog management <response> (Section 4.2.4) and audit
<auditresponse> (Section 4.4.2) responses. The MS MUST support the
status response codes defined here. All other valid but undefined
values are reserved for future use, where new status codes are
assigned using the Standards Action process defined in [RFC5226].
The AS MUST treat any responses it does not recognize as being
equivalent to the x00 response code for all classes. For example, if
an AS receives an unrecognized response code of 499, it can safely
assume that there was something wrong with its request and treat the
response as if it had received a 400 (Syntax error) response code.
4xx responses are definite failure responses from a particular MS.
The reason attribute in the response SHOULD identify the failure in
more detail, for example, "Mandatory attribute missing: src in media
element" for a 400 (Syntax error) response code.
The AS SHOULD NOT retry the same request without modification (for
example, correcting a syntax error or changing the connectionid to
use one available on the MS). However, the same request to a
different MS might be successful, for example, if another MS supports
a capability required in the request.
4xx failure responses can be grouped into three classes: failure due
to a syntax error in the request (400); failure due to an error
executing the request on the MS (405-419); and failure due to the
request requiring a capability not supported by the MS (420-439).
In cases where more than one request code could be reported for a
failure, the MS SHOULD use the most specific error code of the
failure class for the detected error. For example, if the MS detects
that the dialogid in the request is invalid, then it uses a 406
status code. However, if the MS merely detects that an execution
error occurred, then 419 is used.

Table 1: Status Codes
4.6. Type Definitions
This section defines types referenced in attribute and element
definitions.
4.6.1. Boolean
The value space of boolean is the set {true, false, 1, 0} as defined
in Section 3.2.2 of [XMLSchema:Part2]. In accordance with this
definition, the concept of false can be lexically represented by the
strings "0" and "false" and the concept of true by the strings "1"
and "true"; implementations MUST support both styles of lexical
representation.
4.6.2. DTMFChar
A DTMF character. The value space is the set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, #, *, A, B, C, D}.
4.6.3. DTMFString
A string composed of one or more DTMFChars.
4.6.4. Non-Negative Integer
The value space of non-negative integer is the infinite set
{0,1,2,...} as defined in Section 3.3.20 of [XMLSchema:Part2].
Implementation Note: It is RECOMMENDED that implementations at least
support a maximum value of a 32-bit integer (2,147,483,647).
4.6.5. Positive Integer
The value space of positive integer is the infinite set {1,2,...} as
defined in Section 3.3.25 of [XMLSchema:Part2].
Implementation Note: It is RECOMMENDED that implementations at least
support a maximum value of a 32-bit integer (2,147,483,647).
4.6.6. String
A string in the character encoding associated with the XML element as
defined in Section 3.2.1 of [XMLSchema:Part2].
4.6.7. Time Designation
A time designation consists of a non-negative real number followed by
a time unit identifier.
The time unit identifiers are "ms" (milliseconds) and "s" (seconds).
Examples include: "3s", "850ms", "0.7s", ".5s", and "+1.5s".
4.6.8. Percentage
A percentage consists of a positive integer followed by "%".
Examples include: "100%", "500%", and "10%".
4.6.9. URI
Uniform Resource Indicator as defined in [RFC3986].
4.6.10. MIME Media Type
A string formatted as an IANA MIME media type [MIME.mediatypes]. The
ABNF [RFC5234] production for the string is:
type = type-name "/" subtype-name *(";" parameter)
parameter = parameter-name "=" value
where "type-name" and "subtype-name" are defined in Section 4.2 of
[RFC4288], "parameter-name" is defined in Section 4.3 of [RFC4288],
and "value" is defined in Section 5.1 of [RFC2045].
4.6.11. Language Identifier
A language identifier labels information content as being of a
particular human language variant. Following the XML specification
for language identification [XML], a legal language identifier is
identified by a [RFC5646] code and matched according to [RFC4647].
4.6.12. DateTime
A string formatted according to the XML schema definition of a
dateTime type [XMLSchema:Part2].
5. Formal Syntax
This section defines the XML schema for IVR Control Package. The
schema is normative.
The schema defines datatypes, attributes, dialog management, and IVR
dialog elements in the urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr namespace. In
most elements the order of child elements is significant. The schema
is extensible: elements allow attributes and child elements from
other namespaces. Elements from outside this package's namespace can
occur after elements defined in this package.
The schema is dependent upon the schema (framework.xsd) defined in
Appendix A.1 of the Control Framework [RFC6230]. It is also
dependent upon the W3C (xml.xsd) schema for definitions of XML
attributes (e.g., xml:base).

6. Examples
This section provides examples of the IVR Control Package.
6.1. AS-MS Dialog Interaction Examples
The following example assume a Control Channel has been established
and synced as described in the Media Control Channel Framework
[RFC6230].
The XML messages are in angled brackets (with the root <mscivr>
omitted); the REPORT status is in round brackets. Other aspects of
the protocol are omitted for readability.
6.1.1. Starting an IVR Dialog
An IVR dialog is started successfully, and dialogexit notification
<event> is sent from the MS to the AS when the dialog exits normally.
Application Server (AS) Media Server (MS)
| |
| (1) CONTROL: <dialogstart> |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (2) 202 |
| <--------------------------------------- |
| |
| |
| (3) REPORT: <response status="200"/> |
| (terminate) |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (4) 200 |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (5) CONTROL: <event ... /> |
| |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (6) 200 |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
6.1.2. IVR Dialog Fails to Start
An IVR dialog fails to start due to an unknown dialog language. The
<response> is reported in a framework 200 message.
Application Server (AS) Media Server (MS)
| |
| (1) CONTROL: <dialogstart> |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (2) 200: <response status="421"/> |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
6.1.3. Preparing and Starting an IVR Dialog
An IVR dialog is prepared and started successfully, and then the
dialog exits normally.
Application Server (AS) Media Server (MS)
| |
| (1) CONTROL: <dialogprepare> |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (2) 202 |
| <--------------------------------------- |
| |
| (3) REPORT: <response status="200"/> |
| (terminate) |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (4) 200 |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (5) CONTROL: <dialogstart> |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (6) 202 |
| <--------------------------------------- |
| |
| (7) REPORT: <response status="200"/> |
| (terminate) |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (8) 200 |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (9) CONTROL: <event .../> |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (10) 200 |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
6.1.4. Terminating a Dialog
An IVR dialog is started successfully, and then terminated by the AS.
The dialogexit event is sent to the AS when the dialog exits.
Application Server (AS) Media Server (MS)
| |
| (1) CONTROL: <dialogstart> |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (2) 202 |
| <--------------------------------------- |
| |
| (3) REPORT: <response status="200"/> |
| (terminate) |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (4) 200 |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (5) CONTROL: <dialogterminate> |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
| (6) 200: <response status="200"/> |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (7) CONTROL: <event .../> |
| <---------------------------------------- |
| |
| (8) 200 |
| ----------------------------------------> |
| |
Note that in (6) the <response> payload to the <dialogterminate/>
request is carried on a framework 200 response since it could
complete the requested operation before the transaction timeout.
6.2. IVR Dialog Examples
The following examples show how <dialog> is used with
<dialogprepare>, <dialogstart>, and <event> elements to play prompts,
set runtime controls, collect DTMF input, and record user input.
The examples do not specify all messages between the AS and MS.
6.2.1. Playing Announcements
This example prepares an announcement composed of two prompts where
the dialog repeatCount is set to 2.
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogprepare>
<dialog repeatCount="2">
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/media/Number_09.wav"/>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/media/Number_11.wav"/>
</prompt>
</dialog>
</dialogprepare>
</mscivr>
If the dialog is prepared successfully, a <response> is returned with
status 200 and a dialog identifier assigned by the MS:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="200" dialogid="vxi78"/>
</mscivr>
The prepared dialog is then started on a conference playing the
prompts twice:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart prepareddialogid="vxi78" conferenceid="conference11"/>
</mscivr>
In the case of a successful dialog, the output is provided in
<event>; for example:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="vxi78">
<dialogexit status="1">
<promptinfo termmode="completed" duration="24000"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
6.2.2. Prompt and Collect
In this example, a prompt is played and then the MS waits for 30s for
a two digit sequence:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS~HUwkuh7ns">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/prompt1.wav"/>
</prompt>
<collect timeout="30s" maxdigits="2"/>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
If no user input is collected within 30s, then the following
notification event would be returned:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="vxi81">
<dialogexit status="1" >
<promptinfo termmode="completed" duration="4000"/>
<collectinfo termmode="noinput"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
The collect operation can be specified without a prompt. Here the MS
just waits for DTMF input from the user (the maxdigits attribute of
<collect> defaults to 5):
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS~HUwkuh7ns">
<dialog>
<collect/>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
If the dialog is successful, then dialogexit <event> contains the
dtmf collected in its result parameter:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="vxi80">
<dialogexit status="1">
<collectinfo dtmf="12345" termmode="match"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
And finally, in this example, one of the input parameters is invalid:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS~HUwkuh7ns">
<dialog repeatCount="two">
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/prompt1.wav"/>
</prompt>
<collect cleardigitbuffer="true"
timeout="4s" interdigittimeout="2s"
termtimeout="0s" maxdigits="2"/>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
The error is reported in the response:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="400" dialogid="vxi82"
reason="repeatCount attribute value invalid: two"/>
</mscivr>
6.2.3. Prompt and Record
In this example, the user is prompted, then their input is recorded
for a maximum of 30 seconds.
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS~HUwkuh7ns">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/media/sayname.wav"/>
</prompt>
<record dtmfterm="false" maxtime="30s" beep="true"/>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
If successful and the recording is terminated by DTMF, the following
is returned in a dialogexit <event>:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="vxi83">
<dialogexit status="1">
<recordinfo termmode="dtmf">
<mediainfo type="audio/x-wav"
loc="http://www.example.com/recording1.wav"/>
</recordinfo>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
6.2.4. Runtime Controls
In this example, a prompt is played with the collect operation and
runtime controls activated.
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS~HUwkuh7ns">
<dialog>
<prompt bargein="true">
<media loc="http://www.example.com/prompt1.wav"/>
</prompt>
<control ffkey="5" rwkey="6" speedupkey="3"
speeddnkey="4"/>
<collect maxdigits="2"/>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
Once the dialog is active, the user can press keys 3, 4, 5, and 6 to
execute runtime controls on the prompt queue. The keys do not cause
bargein to occur. If the user presses any other key, then the prompt
is interrupted and DTMF collect begins. Note that runtime controls
are not active during the collect operation.
When the dialog is completed successfully, then both control and
collect information is reported.
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="vxi81">
<dialogexit status="1">
<promptinfo termmode="bargein"/>
<controlinfo>
<controlmatch dtmf="4" timestamp="2008-05-12T12:13:14Z"/>
<controlmatch dtmf="3" timestamp="2008-05-12T12:13:15Z"/>
<controlmatch dtmf="5" timestamp="2008-05-12T12:13:16Z"/>
</controlinfo>
<collectinfo termmode="match" dtmf="14"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
6.2.5. Subscriptions and Notifications
In this example, a looped dialog is started with subscription for
notifications each time the user input matches the collect grammar:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS">
<dialog repeatCount="0">
<collect maxdigits="2"/>
</dialog>
<subscribe>
<dtmfsub matchmode="collect"/>
</subscribe>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
Each time the user input the DTMF matching the grammar, the following
notification event would be sent:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="vxi81">
<dtmfnotify matchmode="collect" dtmf="12"
timestamp="2008-05-12T12:13:14Z"/>
</event>
</mscivr>
If no user input was provided, or the input did not match the
grammar, the dialog would continue to loop until terminated (or an
error occurred).
6.2.6. Dialog Repetition until DTMF Collection Complete
This example is a prompt and collect dialog to collect the PIN from
the user. The repeatUntilComplete attribute in the <dialog> is set
to true in this case so that when the grammar collection is complete,
the MS automatically terminates the dialog repeat cycle and reports
the results in a <dialogexit> event.
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS">
<dialog repeatCount="3" repeatUntilComplete="true">
<prompt bargein="true">
<media loc="http://example.com/please_enter_your_pin.vox"/>
</prompt>
<collect maxdigits="4"/>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
If the user barges in on the prompt and <collect> receives DTMF input
matching the grammar, the dialog cycle is considered complete and the
MS returns the following:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="vxi81">
<dialogexit status="1">
<promptinfo duration="3654" termmode="bargein"/>
<collectinfo dtmf="1234" termmode="match"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
If no user input was provided, or the input did not match the
grammar, the dialog would loop for a maximum of 3 times.
6.3. Other Dialog Languages
The following example requests that a VoiceXML dialog is started:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart dialogid="d2"
connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS"
type="application/voicexml+xml"
src="http://www.example.com/mydialog.vxml"
fetchtimeout="15s">
<params>
<param name="prompt1">nfs://nas01/media1.3gp</param>
<param name="prompt2">nfs://nas01/media2.3gp</param>
</params>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
If the MS does not support this dialog language, then the response
would have the status code 421 (Section 4.5). However, if it does
support the VoiceXML dialog language, it would respond with a 200
status, activate the VoiceXML dialog, and make the <params> available
to the VoiceXML script as described in Section 9.
When the VoiceXML dialog exits, exit namelist parameters are
specified using <params> in the dialogexit event:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<event dialogid="d2">
<dialogexit status="1">
<params>
<param name="username">peter</param>
<param name="pin">1234</param>
</params>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
6.4. Foreign Namespace Attributes and Elements
An MS can support attributes and elements from foreign namespaces
within the <mscivr> element. For example, the MS could support a
<listen> element (in a foreign namespace) for speech recognition by
analogy to how <collect> supports DTMF collection.
In the following example, a prompt and collect request is extended
with a <listen> element:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr"
xmlns:ex="http://www.example.com/mediactrl/extensions/1">
<dialogstart connectionid="7HDY839:HJKSkyHS~HUwkuh7ns">
<dialog>
<prompt>
<media loc="http://www.example.com/prompt1.wav"/>
</prompt>
<collect timeout="30s" maxdigits="4"/>
<ex:listen maxtimeout="30s" >
<ex:grammar src="http://example.org/pin.grxml"/>
</ex:listen>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
In the <mscivr> root element, the xmlns:ex attribute declares that
"ex" is associated with the foreign namespace URI
"http://www.example.com/mediactrl/extensions/1". The <ex:listen>,
its attributes, and child elements are associated with this
namespace. This <listen> could be defined so that it activates an
SRGS grammar and listens for user input matching the grammar in a
similar manner to DTMF collection.
If an MS receives this request but does not support the <listen>
element, then it would send a 431 response:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<response status="431" dialogid="d560"
reason="unsupported foreign listen element"/>
</mscivr>
If the MS does support this foreign element, it would send a 200
response and start the dialog with speech recognition. When the
dialog exits, it provides information about the <listen> execution
within <dialogexit>, again using elements in a foreign namespace such
as <listeninfo> below:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr"
xmlns:ex="http://www.example.com/mediactrl/extensions/1">
<event dialogid="d560">
<dialogexit status="1">
<ex:listeninfo speech="1 2 3 4" termmode="match"/>
</dialogexit>
</event>
</mscivr>
Note that in reply the AS sends a Control Framework 200 response even
though the notification event contains an element in a foreign
namespace that it might not understand.
7. Security Considerations
As this Control Package processes XML markup, implementations MUST
address the security considerations of [RFC3023].
Implementations of this Control Package MUST address security,
confidentiality, and integrity of messages transported over the
Control Channel as described in Section 12 of "Media Control Channel
Framework" [RFC6230], including Transport Level Protection, Control
Channel Policy Management, and Session Establishment. In addition,
implementations MUST address security, confidentiality, and integrity
of User Agent sessions with the MS, both in terms of SIP signaling
and associated RTP media flow; see [RFC6230] for further details on
this topic. Finally, implementations MUST address security,
confidentiality, and integrity of sessions where, following a URI
scheme, an MS uploads recordings or retrieves documents and resources
(e.g., fetching a grammar document from a web server using HTTPS).
Adequate transport protection and authentication are critical,
especially when the implementation is deployed in open networks. If
the implementation fails to correctly address these issues, it risks
exposure to malicious attacks, including (but not limited to):
Denial of Service: An attacker could insert a request message into
the transport stream causing specific dialogs on the MS to be
terminated immediately. For example, <dialogterminate
dialogid="XXXX" immediate="true">, where the value of "XXXX" could
be guessed or discovered by auditing active dialogs on the MS
using an <audit> request. Likewise, an attacker could impersonate
the MS and insert error responses into the transport stream so
denying the AS access to package capabilities.
Resource Exhaustion: An attacker could insert into the Control
Channel new request messages (or modify existing ones) with, for
instance, <dialogprepare> elements with a very long fetchtimeout
attribute and a bogus source URL. At some point, this will
exhaust the number of connections that the MS is able to make.
Phishing: An attacker with access to the Control Channel could
modify the "loc" attribute of the <media> element in a dialog to
point to some other audio file that had different information from
the original. This modified file could include a different phone
number for people to call if they want more information or need to
provide additional information (such as governmental, corporate,
or financial information).
Data Theft: An attacker could modify a <record> element in the
Control Channel so as to add a new recording location:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart>
<dialog>
<record>
<media type="audio/x-wav" loc="(Good URI)"/>
<media type="audio/x-wav" loc="(Attacker's URI)"/>
</record>
</dialog>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
The recorded data would be uploaded to two locations indicated by the
"{Good URI}" and the "{Attacker's URI}". This allows the attacker to
steal the recorded audio (which could include sensitive or
confidential information) without the originator of the request
necessarily being aware of the theft.
The Media Control Channel Framework permits additional security
policy management, including resource access and Control Channel
usage, to be specified at the Control Package level beyond that
specified for the Media Control Channel Framework (see Section 12.3
of [RFC6230]).
Since creation of IVR dialogs is associated with media processing
resources (e.g., DTMF detectors, media playback and recording, etc.)
on the MS, the security policy for this Control Package needs to
address how such dialogs are securely managed across more than one
Control Channel. Such a security policy is only useful for secure,
confidential, and integrity-protected channels. The identity of
Control Channels is determined by the channel identifier, i.e., the
value of the cfw-id attribute in the SDP and 'Dialog-ID' header in
the channel protocol (see [RFC6230]). Channels are the same if they
have the same identifier; otherwise, they are different. This
Control Package imposes the following additional security policies:
Responses: The MS MUST only send a response to a dialog management
or audit request using the same Control Channel as the one used to
send the request.
Notifications: The MS MUST only send notification events for a
dialog using the same Control Channel as it received the request
creating the dialog.
Auditing: The MS MUST only provide audit information about dialogs
that have been created on the same Control Channel as the one upon
the <audit> request is sent.
Rejection: The MS SHOULD reject requests to audit or manipulate an
existing dialog on the MS if the channel is not the same as the
one used when the dialog was created. The MS rejects a request by
sending a Control Framework 403 response (see Section 7.4 and
Section 12.3 of [RFC6230]). For example, if a channel with
identifier 'cfw1234' has been used to send a request to create a
particular dialog and the MS receives on channel 'cfw98969' a
request to audit or terminate the dialog, then the MS sends a 403
framework response.
There can be valid reasons why an implementation does not reject an
audit or dialog manipulation request on a different channel from the
one that created the dialog. For example, a system administrator
might require a separate channel to audit dialog resources created by
system users and to terminate dialogs consuming excessive system
resources. Alternatively, a system monitor or resource broker might
require a separate channel to audit dialogs managed by this package
on an MS. However, the full implications need to be understood by
the implementation and carefully weighted before accepting these
reasons as valid. If the reasons are not valid in their particular
circumstances, the MS rejects such requests.
There can also be valid reasons for 'channel handover' including high
availability support or where one AS needs to take over management of
dialogs after the AS that created them has failed. This could be
achieved by the Control Channels using the same channel identifier,
one after another. For example, assume a channel is created with the
identifier 'cfw1234' and the channel is used to create dialogs on the
MS. This channel (and associated SIP dialog) then terminates due to
a failure on the AS. As permitted by the Control Framework, the
channel identifier 'cfw1234' could then be reused so that another
channel is created with the same identifier 'cfw1234', allowing it to
'take over' management of the dialogs on the MS. Again, the
implementation needs to understand the full implications and
carefully weight them before accepting these reasons as valid. If
the reasons are not valid for their particular circumstances, the MS
uses the appropriate SIP mechanisms to prevent session establishment
when the same channel identifier is used in setting up another
Control Channel (see Section 4 of [RFC6230]).

9. Using VoiceXML as a Dialog Language
The IVR Control Package allows, but does not require, the MS to
support other dialog languages by referencing an external dialog
document. This section provides MS implementations that support the
VoiceXML dialog language ([VXML20], [VXML21], [VXML30]) with
additional details about using these dialogs in this package. This
section is normative for an MS that supports the VoiceXML dialog
language.
This section covers preparing (Section 9.1), starting (Section 9.2),
terminating (Section 9.3), and exiting (Section 9.4) VoiceXML dialogs
as well as handling VoiceXML call transfer (Section 9.5).
9.1. Preparing a VoiceXML Dialog
A VoiceXML dialog is prepared by sending the MS a request containing
a <dialogprepare> element (Section 4.2.1). The type attribute is set
to "application/voicexml+xml" and the src attribute to the URI of the
VoiceXML document that is to be prepared by the MS. For example:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogprepare type="application/voicexml+xml"
src="http://www.example.com/mydialog.vxml"
fetchtimeout="15s"/>
</mscivr>
The VoiceXML dialog environment uses the <dialogprepare> request as
an opportunity to fetch and validate the initial document indicated
by the src attribute along with any resources referenced in the
VoiceXML document marked as prefetchable. The maxage and maxstale
attributes, if specified, control how the initial VoiceXML document
is fetched using HTTP (see [RFC2616]). Note that the fetchtimeout
attribute is not defined in VoiceXML for an initial document, but the
MS MUST support this attribute in its VoiceXML environment.
If a <params> child element of <dialogprepare> is specified, then the
MS MUST map the parameter information into a VoiceXML session
variable object as described in Section 9.2.3.
The success or failure of the VoiceXML document preparation is
reported in the MS response. For example, if the VoiceXML document
cannot be retrieved, then a 409 error response is returned. If the
document is syntactically invalid according to VoiceXML, then a 400
response is returned. If successful, the response includes a
dialogid attribute whose value the AS can use in <dialogstart>
element to start the prepared dialog.
9.2. Starting a VoiceXML Dialog
A VoiceXML dialog is started by sending the MS a request containing a
<dialogstart> element (Section 4.2.2). If a VoiceXML dialog has
already been prepared using <dialogprepare>, then the MS starts the
dialog indicated by the prepareddialogid attribute. Otherwise, a new
VoiceXML dialog can be started by setting the type attribute to
"application/voicexml+xml" and the src attribute to the URI of the
VoiceXML document. For example:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="ssd3r3:sds345b"
type="application/voicexml+xml"
src="http://www.example.com/mydialog.vxml"
fetchtimeout="15s"/>
</mscivr>
The maxage and maxstale attributes, if specified, control how the
initial VoiceXML document is fetched using HTTP (see [RFC2616]).
Note that the fetchtimeout attribute is not defined in VoiceXML for
an initial document, but the MS MUST support this attribute in its
VoiceXML environment. Note also that support for <dtmfsub>
subscriptions (Section 4.2.2.1.1) and their associated dialog
notification events is not defined in VoiceXML. If such a
subscription is specified in a <dialogstart> request, then the MS
sends a 439 error response (see Section 4.5).
The success or failure of starting a VoiceXML dialog is reported in
the MS response as described in Section 4.2.2.
When the MS starts a VoiceXML dialog, the MS MUST map session
information into a VoiceXML session variable object. There are 3
types of session information: protocol information (Section 9.2.1),
media stream information (Section 9.2.2), and parameter information
(Section 9.2.3).
9.2.1. Session Protocol Information
If the connectionid attribute is specified, the MS assigns protocol
information from the SIP dialog associated with the connection to the
following session variables in VoiceXML:
session.connection.local.uri Evaluates to the SIP URI specified in
the 'To:' header of the initial INVITE.
session.connection.remote.uri Evaluates to the SIP URI specified in
the 'From:' header of the initial INVITE.
session.connection.originator Evaluates to the value of
session.connection.remote (MS receives inbound connections but
does not create outbound connections).
session.connection.protocol.name Evaluates to "sip". Note that this
is intended to reflect the use of SIP in general, and does not
distinguish between whether the connection accesses the MS via SIP
or SIP Secure (SIPS) procedures.
session.connection.protocol.version Evaluates to "2.0".
session.connection.redirect This array is populated by information
contained in the 'History-Info' header [RFC4244] in the initial
INVITE or is otherwise undefined. Each entry (hi-entry) in the
'History-Info' header is mapped, in the order it appeared in the
'History-Info' header, into an element of the
session.connection.redirect array. Properties of each element of
the array are determined as follows:
uri Set to the hi-targeted-to-uri value of the History-Info
entry
pi Set to 'true' if hi-targeted-to-uri contains a
'Privacy=history' parameter, or if the INVITE 'Privacy'
header includes 'history'; 'false' otherwise
si Set to the value of the 'si' parameter if it exists;
undefined otherwise
reason Set verbatim to the value of the 'Reason' parameter of hi-
targeted-to-uri
session.connection.aai Evaluates to the value of a SIP header with
the name "aai" if present; undefined otherwise.
session.connection.protocol.sip.requesturi This is an associative
array where the array keys and values are formed from the URI
parameters on the SIP Request-URI of the initial INVITE. The
array key is the URI parameter name. The corresponding array
value is obtained by evaluating the URI parameter value as a
string. In addition, the array's toString() function returns the
full SIP Request-URI.
session.connection.protocol.sip.headers This is an associative array
where each key in the array is the non-compact name of a SIP
header in the initial INVITE converted to lowercase (note the case
conversion does not apply to the header value). If multiple
header fields of the same field name are present, the values are
combined into a single comma-separated value. Implementations
MUST at a minimum include the 'Call-ID' header and MAY include
other headers. For example,
session.connection.protocol.sip.headers["call-id"] evaluates to
the Call-ID of the SIP dialog.
If a conferenceid attribute is specified, then the MS populates the
following session variables in VoiceXML:
session.conference.name Evaluates to the value of the conferenceid
attribute.
9.2.2. Session Media Stream Information
The media streams of the connection or conference to use for the
dialog are described in Section 4.2.2, including use of <stream>
elements (Section 4.2.2.2) if specified. The MS maps media stream
information into the VoiceXML session variable
session.connection.protocol.sip.media for a connection, and
session.conference.media for a conference. In both variables, the
value of the variable is an array where each array element is an
object with the following properties:
type This required property indicates the type of the media
associated with the stream (see Section 4.2.2.2 <stream> type
attribute definition).
direction This required property indicates the directionality of the
media relative to the endpoint of the dialog (see Section 4.2.2.2
<stream> direction attribute definition).
format This property is optional. If defined, the value of the
property is an array. Each array element is an object that
specifies information about one format of the media stream. The
object contains at least one property called name whose value is
the subtype name of the media format [RFC4855]. Other properties
may be defined with string values; these correspond to required
and, if defined, optional parameters of the format.
As a consequence of this definition, when a connectionid is specified
there is an array entry in session.connection.protocol.sip.media for
each media stream used by the VoiceXML dialog. For an example,
consider a connection with bidirectional G.711 mu-law audio sampled
at 8kHz where the dialog is started with
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="ssd3r3:sds345b"
type="application/voicexml+xml"
src="http://www.example.com/mydialog.vxml"
fetchtimeout="15s">
<stream media="audio" direction="recvonly"/>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
In this case, session.connection.protocol.sip.media[0].type evaluates
to "audio", session.connection.protocol.sip.media[0].direction
evaluates to "recvonly" (i.e., the endpoint only receives media from
the dialog -- the endpoint does not send media to the dialog),
session.connection.protocol.sip.media[0].format[0].name evaluates to
"PCMU", and session.connection.protocol.sip.media[0].format[0].rate
evaluates to "8000".
Note that the session variable is updated if the connection or
conference media session characteristics for the VoiceXML dialog
change (e.g., due to a SIP re-INVITE).
9.2.3. Session Parameter Information
Parameter information is specified in the <params> child element of
<dialogprepare> and <dialogstart> elements, where each parameter is
specified using a <param> element. The MS maps parameter information
into VoiceXML session variables as follows:
session.values This is an associative array mapped to the <params>
element. It is undefined if no <params> element is specified. If
a <params> element is specified in both <dialogprepare> and
<dialogstart> elements for the same dialog, then the array is
first initialized with the <params> specified in the
<dialogprepare> element and then updated with the <params>
specified in the <dialogstart> element; in cases of conflict, the
<dialogstart> parameter value take priority. Array keys and
values are formed from <param> children of the <params> element.
Each array key is the value of the name attribute of a <param>
element. If the same name is used in more than one <param>
element, then the array key is associated with the last <param> in
document order. The corresponding value for each key is an object
with two required properties: a "type" property evaluating to the
value of the type attribute, and a "content" property evaluating
to the content of the <param>. In addition, this object's
toString() function returns the value of the "content" property as
a string.
For example, a VoiceXML dialog started with one parameter:
<mscivr version="1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:msc-ivr">
<dialogstart connectionid="ssd3r3:sds345b"
type="application/voicexml+xml"
src="http://www.example.com/mydialog.vxml"
fetchtimeout="15s">
<params>
<param name="mode">playannouncement</param>
</params>
</dialogstart>
</mscivr>
In this case, session.values would be defined with one item in the
array where session.values['mode'].type evaluates to "text/plain"
(the default value), session.values['mode'].content evaluates to
"playannouncement", and session.values['mode'].toString() also
evaluates to "playannouncement".
The MS sends an error response (see Section 4.2.2) if a <param> is
not supported by the MS (e.g., the parameter type is not supported).
9.3. Terminating a VoiceXML Dialog
When the MS receives a request with a <dialogterminate> element
(Section 4.2.3), the MS throws a 'connection.disconnect.hangup' event
into the specified VoiceXML dialog. Note that if the immediate
attribute has the value true, then the MS MUST NOT return <params>
information when the VoiceXML dialog exits (even if the VoiceXML
dialog provides such information) -- see Section 9.4.
If the connection or conference associated with the VoiceXML dialog
terminates, then the MS throws a 'connection.disconnect.hangup' event
into the specified VoiceXML dialog.
9.4. Exiting a VoiceXML Dialog
The MS sends a <dialogexit> notification event (Section 4.2.5.1) when
the VoiceXML dialog is complete, has been terminated, or exits due to
an error. The <dialogexit> status attribute specifies the status of
the VoiceXML dialog when it exits and its <params> child element
specifies information, if any, returned from the VoiceXML dialog.
A VoiceXML dialog exits when it processes a <disconnect> element, an
<exit> element, or an implicit exit according to the VoiceXML form
interpretation algorithm (FIA). If the VoiceXML dialog executes a
<disconnect> and then subsequently executes an <exit> with namelist
information, the namelist information from the <exit> element is
discarded.
The MS reports namelist variables in the <params> element of the
<dialogexit>. Each <param> reports on a namelist variable. The MS
set the <param> name attribute to the name of the VoiceXML variable.
The MS sets the <param> type attribute according to the type of the
VoiceXML variable. The MS sets the <param> type to 'text/plain' when
the VoiceXML variable is a simple ECMAScript value. If the VoiceXML
variable is a recording, the MS sets the <param> type to the MIME
media type of the recording and encodes the recorded content as CDATA
in the <param> (see Section 4.2.6.1 for an example). If the VoiceXML
variable is a complex ECMAScript value (e.g., object, array, etc.),
the MS sets the <param> type to 'application/json' and converts the
variable value to its JSON value equivalent [RFC4627]. The behavior
resulting from specifying an ECMAScript object with circular
references is not defined.
If the expr attribute is specified on the VoiceXML <exit> element
instead of the namelist attribute, the MS creates a <param> element
with the reserved name '__exit'. If the value is an ECMAScript
literal, the <param> type is 'text/plain' and the content is the
literal value. If the value is a variable, the <param> type and
content are set in the same way as a namelist variable; for example,
an expr attribute referencing a variable with a simple ECMAScript
value has the type 'text/plain' and the content is set to the
ECMAScript value. To allow the AS to differentiate between a
<dialogexit> notification event resulting from a VoiceXML
<disconnect> from one resulting from an <exit>, the MS creates a
<param> with the reserved name '__reason', the type 'text/plain', and
a value of "disconnect" (without brackets) to reflect the use of
VoiceXML's <disconnect> element, and the value of "exit" (without
brackets) to an explicit <exit> in the VoiceXML dialog. If the
VoiceXML session terminates for other reasons (such as encountering
an error), this parameter MAY be omitted or take on platform-specific
values prefixed with an underscore.
Table 2 provides some examples of VoiceXML <exit> usage and the
corresponding <params> element in the <dialogexit> notification
event. It assumes the following VoiceXML variable names and values:
userAuthorized=true, pin=1234, and errors=0. The <param> type
attributes ('text/plain') are omitted for clarity.
+------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| <exit> Usage | <params> Result |
+------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| <exit> | <params> <param |
| | name="__reason">exit</param> </params> |
| <exit expr="5"> | <params> <param |
| | name="__reason">exit</param> <param |
| | name="__exit">5</param> </params> |
| <exit expr="'done'"> | <params> <param |
| | name="__reason">exit</param> <param |
| | name="__exit">'done'</param> </params> |
| <exit | <params> <param |
| expr="userAuthorized"> | name="__reason">exit</param> <param |
| | name="__exit">true</param> </params> |
| <exit namelist="pin | <params> <param |
| errors"> | name="__reason">exit</param> <param |
| | name="pin">1234</param> <param |
| | name="errors">0</param> </params> |
+------------------------+------------------------------------------+

9.5. Call Transfer
While VoiceXML is at its core a dialog language, it also provides
optional call transfer capability. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use
VoiceXML's call transfer capability in networks involving application
servers. Rather, the AS itself can provide call routing
functionality by taking signaling actions based on the data returned
to it, either through VoiceXML's own data submission mechanisms or
through the mechanism described in Section 9.4. If the MS encounters
a VoiceXML dialog requesting call transfer capability, the MS SHOULD
raise an error event in the VoiceXML dialog execution context: an
error.unsupported.transfer.blind event if blind transfer is
requested, error.unsupported.transfer.bridge if bridge transfer is
requested, or error.unsupported.transfer.consultation if consultation
transfer is requested.
