Ericsson’s PandoraBox system is an open development platform in which a series of unnumbered applications can be shown.

This system allows a user to dial a number on his / her cell phone and carry out an action instead of making a phone call.

The action which guarantees Ericsson’s PandoraBox system consists of identifying a user, Obtainig the user’s credentials and carrying out a “HIT” about a PandoraBox server identified inivocally by the dialed number.

The number of applications based on this system will make use of this action to carry out an order such as: “ store this information “, “ contact me “, “ inform me on this event”, “ I wish to apply for this congress”, “ I vote for this”,” I would like to participate of this draw”, etc.

Pandora Numbers

Every number dialed on a cell phone that starts with a hash (#) , is a Pandora number.

This symbol is the one that allows the central AXE distinguish between the action of opening a voice chanel or sending the dialed number to the carrier of the Gateway server.

Principles

	The starting of the running process of Ericsson’s PandoraBox system is as follows: When the user dials a “ Pandora number “ on his/ her cell phone, this number is transferred to a Pandora Gateway server which operates in the following way:
	Obtains the registration of the user provided by the “carrier”which takes care of the account of that user.
	Obtains the adress of the Pandora server associated to the dialed Pandora number.
	Sends the “ Request” message to the Pandora server “HIT”
	Obtains the “reply” message from the Pandora number.
	Depending on the user’s preferences and capacity of the device , sends a SMS with the information provided by the Pandora server.
	If the user has capacity of “HOSTING” and the information given by the Pandora server is persistent, it is then sent to the user’s “HOSTING” server.
	Issues “billing” tickets.

The Pandora server is the place where the actions take place and it is here where third parties can implement their applications.
