Features
This section lists and describes end-user functionality in the Business Communicator
Android client. Note that most functionality, such as presence and chat, requires an
Application Server.
1.1
Log In
On the Login screen, the user can type in their IP Centrex user name and password or
SIP user name and password, depending on whether BroadWorks Device Management is
used.
User names are saved so that the next time the user logs in, they can simply select the
correct user name in the combination box.
The first time the user starts the client, the application asks for the user’s identity (user
name and password) and displays a Login screen with the following elements (using two
fields divided by a graphical divider).
The top field says user name and lower field says password. Tapping either one opens
the virtual keyboard. When both fields are filled, the Sign-in button is available. The
following is a list of the Login window fields:

Phone number – This is an editable combination box. The current phone number is
automatically filled for first start up.

Password – This is a text field with password masking.

Show password – This check box is unchecked by default. The written password
appears instead of just stars. This is reset to “unchecked” each time the user opens
the client.

Sign in automatically – This is a check box, which is only available if user name and
password are provided. It is “unchecked” by default. The user is able to turn it on only
if the Remember Password is checked.

Remember password – This is a check box.

Sign in button
If Remember password is not checked, this screen is shown each time the client is
started, with only the Phone number automatically filled. If Remember password is
checked, this screen is shown with all credentials automatically filled.
By tapping Sign in, the user sees the contact list.

Figure 1 Credentials for Sign In
A loading animation appears each time the client is launched.
When the network connection has been lost, the client returns to the Login screen. Once
the network connection has been recovered, the client performs an auto-login.
The Reference Client Login is shown in the following figure.

1.2
Main View
The main view contains a number of tabs that provide information about the contacts and
communications options in the top bar as follows:

Contacts

Call

Chat

Call history
The Contacts tab provides information about presence-enabled contacts only. In addition
to these contacts, the user can also separately use the native address book where
contacts do not have to be presence-enabled.
The client supports landscape mode. The client also follows the silent mode that has
been set for the device and as a result, an incoming Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
call alerts the user the same way as an incoming CS call.
The client also supports background mode, which means that it can receive calls and chat
messages while in the background, and it indicates this to the user using the notification
bar. For more information on the notification bar, see sections 1.5.3 Missed Chat
Notification and 1.7.2 Missed Calls.
Native address book integration is also supported, allowing an end user to choose
between native CS calls and VoIP calls when placing a call using the native address book.
1.3
1.3.1
Contact List
General
The Contacts tab only shows information about presence-enabled contacts. A presenceenabled contact can be any user with any type of XMPP address. It can be another
Business Communicator user or a user with any other XMPP-compliant client.
Furthermore, it can be a user from the same or a different service provider.
Below the top tabs, there is a pill button that is used to display two lists: Buddies and
Directory. The Buddies list provides all of the user’s XMPP contacts, whereas the
Directory list provides the company contacts in the BroadWorks enterprise directory. On
the right side of the buttons, is the search icon. Note that for the Buddies list, the search
icon is disabled.
The Buddies list shows each contact’s presence, name, presence status, as well as free
text. A long press on a contact opens the context menu, whereas a short press opens the
contact card.

1.3.2
Add Contact Manually
There is an add contact icon, and also the hard key menu has an option for “Add”.
Pressing add opens a contact card in edit mode (that is, adding contact).
The add contact view shows the required text fields to add an XMPP contact to a Buddies
list. The view can be cancelled by pressing the back button or Cancel. The presence
subscription that automatically results, after adding a contact, is always bi-directional for
simplicity. After the invited contact accepts the presence subscription, both are allowed to
see each other’s presence.
Figure 4 Adding Contacts
In addition, when others are adding the user as a contact, a presence authorization popup dialog appears to allow the user to accept or reject the presence invitation. Accepting
the invitation adds the inviting person to the contact list (as shown in the following figure).

1.3.3
BroadWorks Enterprise Directory Search
The client supports an enterprise directory search of the BroadWorks enterprise directory.
This is available in a separate pill button in the Contacts tab, where the search function is
enabled. Tapping the search icon opens the search view, and after the search, the
enterprise directory search results list displays the name and number. There are also
filtering options to search a native address book, an enterprise directory, or both. Note
that an XMPP contact list cannot be searched.
The default starting screen for a search appears when the user presses the search icon.
Typing any of character starts the filtering process through contacts from both the XMPP
contacts and Directory listing. Pressing the back key minimizes the keyboard, hides the
search bar, and empties the search result.
The following figure shows an example of search results:

Figure 6 Enterprise Directory Search Results
There is no hard key menu in the directory search results listing view. A long press on the
name opens context menu and hides keyboard but keeps search bar with characters
while a short press opens the contact card.
The context menu contains the following options for the Directory list:

VoIP call


Contact Card
A contact card from a Buddies list shows the presence, name of the contact, presence
text, as well as, free text. The contact’s phone number appears and then pressing either
the voice call icon makes a voice call to that contact.
Tapping the Chat button opens the Instant Messaging (IM) view with that contact while the
hard key menu shows the Remove and Edit buttons. Tapping Remove confirms the
action from the user through a pop-up dialog while Edit opens the edit mode.

In the enterprise directory search results list the contact card is a different, as shown in the
following figure. The contact card shows the contact’s name and phone number. The
Call buttons can be used to choose what type of a call is placed. Note that Chat is not
available.
For a Directory contact, there is the Add to contacts option, (which opens the native phone
book Add Contact view), as well as an Add to IM buddies option.

XMPP Multi-Device
Business Communicator Release 9.3.0 provides support for users with multiple devices,
following the XMPP specifications. This is comprised of several features as follows:

Chat invitations sent to the user are received in all devices, before the session is
accepted, messages are sent to all devices and once answered the chat messages
go to the device that has sent a reply message.

Getting one’s Own presence notifications when another client updates the user’s
presence. The client updates its own status based on the information it receives from
the server.

Accepting sharing presence invitation in one client is also recognized by another client
and both clients start receiving the presence updates.

A new presence subscription made in one client is recognized in another, with the
latest after the next login. If the contact blocks the invitation, there are presence
notifications from the server to all of the user’s clients indicating that the subscription
was terminated and this information is shown to the user. If the client receives two
presence authorization requests from two or more devices of the same user, it only
shows one request to the user.

Removing a contact from the contact list in one device is recognized in another client,
with the latest after next the login, and the contact list is updated (contact removed) in
the other client as well.
If a user has many devices, each device can have a different status when shown to the
end user. However, watchers in the contact list always see the updates in the following
priority order:

Busy

Chatty

Online

Away

Extended away

Offline
For example, this means that if one client publishes a Busy status and another client
publishes another status, watchers see the user as Busy.

Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) and Voice Mail Access
If a user has pending voice mails (VM), then the notification bar in Android displays an
icon and text “You have XX pending voice mail messages”. By clicking the voice mail
notification, the application dials the voice mail access number directly and the user can
listen to the VM messages.
All notifications (missed calls, new messages, and so on) are handled through the
notification bar.
Figure 17 Voice Mail Notification

Voice mail is also accessible with a “long-press” of the dial pad key “1” (similar to a regular
mobile keyboard). When voice mail messages are available, the key “1” changes its color.
In addition, it shows the VM notification in the global notification area, described
previously.
The number of new voice mails changes depending on how many are opened or are new.
The VM icon in the notification area has a badge associated with it, which shows the
number of new messages.

1.7.4
Business Line Call-Back and Call-Through
Mobile Communicator allows the user to originate a circuit-switched call using their
business line identity. This is done using the basic call-back functionality on BroadWorks
or the call-through functionality available with BroadWorks Mobility.
Basic call-back is only available if the user has BroadWorks Anywhere or Remote Office
assigned. The application checks to see whether one of these two services is provisioned
with a phone number that matches the mobile number. And if it is provisioned this way, it
provides the user with the option to make calls using the call-back feature.
Call-through functionality is available if the Mobility service is assigned to the user’s
BroadWorks profile. Call-through provides a more natural dialing experience. When a call
is placed in this mode, the client communicates transparently with BroadWorks to obtain a
temporary Intermediate Routing Number (IMRN). The client then calls the IMRN and
connects the user directly to the destination identifying the call with the user’s business line
identity.
Figure 19 Business Line Call-Back and Call-Through
BUSINESS COMMUNICATOR FOR ANDROID PRODUCT GUIDE
60-BT1012-00
PAGE 22
1.7.5
Contact Name Lookup for Incoming Calls and Call Logs
Whenever the incoming call does not have a calling name associated with it, Mobile
Communicator can perform a local contact search. If the number matches one of the
contacts on the mobile phone contact list, the name is shown on the incoming call screen
along with the alert.
Whenever the user retrieves their call logs/history and the call log does not have a calling
name associated with it, the client does a lookup in the local contacts and populates the
name if a match is found.
1.7.6
Three-Way Calling
Business Communicator supports network SIP-based conference calls with up to three
participants (Three-Way). While on a two-way call, the user can add a third party by using
the Conference button. This opens the address book on the device to search for and
select the new participant.
Figure 20 Three-Way Calling (Adding Third Party)
The supported mode is Blind Conference calling. The third party receives a call and is joined
to the conference automatically when they pick up. The Attended Conference mode, which
prompts the third party to join or decline, is not supported in this version.
Once the conference is established, the participants are shown on the Device screen.

1.7.7
Call Transfer
The client supports transferring VoIP calls to another party. Two modes of transfer are
supported:

Attended Call – User selects Talk First from the menu and a second call is placed with
the selected contact. If the call is successfully established, the user can talk with the
third party privately, before completing the transfer, by pressing the Transfer call
button again.

Unattended Call – User selects Transfer from the menu, the second party is
transferred to the selected contact, and the current user is dropped from the call.

BroadWorks Call History
The client supports the basic BroadWorks Call History. Using a drop-down menu, the Call
History can be set to show all calls, received calls, dialed calls, and missed calls.
In the list of calls, there are symbols indicating if a call was incoming or outgoing.
The list of the call items consists of an icon showing what kind of call it was (a green arrow
means incoming, a blue arrow means outgoing, and a red arrow means missed). It also
shows the name, number, Unavailable status for the caller and below the name it shows
the number, if available. To the right, the user can see the date called and the time the
call was initiated.
Tapping an item on the list opens the contact card where a call can be made to that
number.

1.10 Call Modes
The client supports several modes for making the outgoing calls. These are controlled
through Settings/Call Settings/Outgoing Calls.

Calls placed via mobile – Calls are placed using the Android native dialer via the
mobile CS network.

Calls placed via Call-Back service – Call are made using the BroadWorks Call-Back
service. This works with BroadWorks Release 17.0 and higher via the BroadWorks
Anywhere or Remote Office setting.

Calls placed via VoIP – Calls are made using BroadWorks VoIP service.

Always Ask – This displays a prompt to the user when initiating a new call to select
the desired mode

Call-through functionality is available if the Mobility service is assigned to the user’s
BroadWorks profile. Call-through provides a more natural dialing experience. When
a call is placed in this mode, the client communicates transparently with BroadWorks
to obtain a temporary IMRN. The client then calls the IMRN and connects the user
directly to the destination identifying the call with the user’s business line identity.
The default mode after installing the client is the VoIP mode.

1.11 Other Features
1.11.1 Version Control
Version control is supported using Android market mechanisms. When a new release is
available, the old version is removed from the market place and users of the previous
version are notified about the update possibility.
1.11.2 Privacy Management
Business Communicator supports authentication with a user name and password for
different services and servers requiring authentication. For convenience, the end user can
save their user name and password for different realms.
When an end user adds a contact to the contact list, those contacts receive a New
Subscriber dialog asking whether they will allow the end user to see their presence or not.
This information is stored in the contact’s presence policies. At any time, the user can edit
the presence policies selections per contact. They are stored on the server. However,
this feature requires a compatible presence server.
1.11.3 Help Pages
The client supports a web-based help that can be launched from Preferences.
1.11.4 Firewalls and NATs
The client supports rport (RFC 3581) for NAT traversal and also to use the client behind a
firewall. However, the client is assumed to be used mainly with a session border controller
(SBC) that also provides support for NAT traversal for several key features, such as
calling, which are currently unlikely to work without SBC.
1.11.5 Automatic Sign In
The user can choose to automatically sign in with Business Communicator with a default
account when the client is started. Together with the functionality to automatically start
Business Communicator at system start up, this makes it easy for the user to remember to
sign in and be available for communication.
1.11.6 Settings
The Settings view lists the following items, which can be configured by an end user:

Language

Remember password

Sign in automatically, (which is disabled until Remember Password is checked)

Call settings (for information about BroadWorks Service Management, see section 1.9
BroadWorks Service Management)

Credentials


System Requirements
Business Communicator Release 9.3 for Android can be run on any Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.2,
and Android 4 device in the market today. While it is possible to also run the client on
