Abstract:
Implementations of the present disclosure involve an apparatus and/or method for a regional independent tandem switch of a telecommunications network. The tandem switch processes communications between a long distance carrier and a local exchange carrier through a voice over IP (VOIP) network. By utilizing the VOIP network, the regionally independent tandem may process long distance communications to and from any point in the network, regardless of the physical proximity of the tandem to the originating/destination communication device. The regionally independent nature of the tandem also allows for flexibility in communication routing through the network, load balancing between the network tandem switches and reduction of needed components of the network for proper processing of the long distance communications.
Abstract:
A method and system for supporting wireless (30) and/or wireline (12) features of telecommunications subscribers utilizing existing wireline interfaces (55) includes a processor for provisioning the wireline interfaces to support predetermined wireless and/or wireline features. A service logic, such as a Service Control Point (SCP) (22), assigns the wireline interfaces to the telecommunications subscribers on a call-by-call basis based on the features subscribed to by the subscriber. The processor is further operative to reprovision tthe wireline interfaces based on the number of subscribers assigned to the wireline interfaces.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a system and method for automatic configuration of data routings for use with electronic data such as phone calls, faxes, etc. In the preferred embodiment, when more than one carrier might potentially terminate the transmission, the carriers are ordered based on some screening criterion (e.g., transmission price). Data transmissions are then assigned to the carriers based on the sorting order, with the second place and lower carriers (e.g., the higher priced carriers) not being selected unless the first carrier cannot complete the transaction. The switch instructions necessary to implement this scheme are generated automatically.

Abstract:
The invention is a method to re-route a call on the basis of information given by subscriber B. The method is applied in a communications network, especially a telenetwork, as a part of which exists an intelligent network (13) via which A-subscriber's (1) call is first routed, based on the number dialed, to a service switching and control centre (14) of the intelligent network (13), wherein the offered service is identified based on the number. After this, the call management is assigned to the service controller (15) to re-route the call to B-subscriber (4) corresponding to the service number, based on the information given by the same, the call is routed further to the next subscriber. According to the invention, the following method steps to re-route a call are effected by the service controller (15) and the call switching device connected thereto: A-subscriber's (1) call is first connected to B1-subscriber (4), whose answering is detected and thereafter is waited until B1-subscriber's (4) telephone or a corresponding is hung up; the hanging up of the B1-subscriber's (4) telephone detected, whereafter is waited until the same is answered again; the answering again to B1-subscriber's (4) telephone is detected and by means of the B1-subscriber's telephone is given a B2-subscriber's (7) number, which is registered; and the connection between A-subscriber (1) and B1-subscriber (4) is cleared and a new connection between A-subscriber (1) and B2-subscriber (7) is opened.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a procedure for transmission of data between telephone call and telecommunication service equipment. The invention allows a call unique way of addressing at transmitting in real time of data between in the system included service nodes and equipments which are concerned by a call. According to the invention a call from a subscriber is connected by a switching node to a service node for routing to suitable answering equipment. The service node coordinates the call with a call unique coordination code and transmits this to the answering equipment The answering equipment stores data which is transferred in the call during utilization of the coordination code, so that data related to a certain call can be collected by the service node. Preferably the coordination code is created as one for the service node unique consecutive number which is used as address position in a database. After that the service node can utilize the same addressing to get relevant data. The invention solves the problem of relating data which is entered into a database to a specific call in the service node.
Abstract:
A telecommunications system incorporates a switch based private network having a transparent network signalling system and having a plurality of nodes interfacing each via a switch with an intelligent public network. The public network incorporates a service control point having associated therewith a database containing destination addresses corresponding to call numbers received from the private network. The database provides routing data for call independent signalling information in response to requests from a node on behalf of a private service provided to a user of that node and from a public network switch on behalf of a private service provided to a directly connected user of that switch.
Abstract:
In an Advanced Intelligent Telephone Network system, switching points are programmed to trigger a query to a Service Control Point ('SCP') in response to a dialed '500' number. The SCP performs a data request of an outside database store service provider information, obtaining a service provider identification or a routing number corresponding to the dialed '500' number. The SCP then transmits a switching instruction to the service system point to route the call to the appropriate destination number.
Abstract:
A method of processing a phone call from a caller (112) in a network-based telephone system (100), the network-based telephone system (100) including a plurality of switches (108) and an intelligent peripheral (IP) (104) for interfacing the plurality of switches (108) to a service control point (SCP) (102). When a phone call is received at one of the plurality of switches (108), the call is sent to the IP (104). The IP (104) then requests that the SCP (102) perform a call processing request. Service logic within the SCP (102) is accessed in order to process the phone call according to the call processing request. The service logic then requests and receives account information from one or more external systems (106). The phone call is routed to a selected telephone (117) based on the account information received from the one or more external systems (106). The received account information is routed to the selected telephone (117).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a server station, and method of operation of such a server station, for managing an item of equipment of a telecommunications system, the server station being responsive to control messages from a client application to perform operations in order to manage the item of equipment, and a plurality of client applications being able to send control messages to the server station via a management communications network. In accordance with the invention, the server station comprises means for accessing a storage arranged to store address information for said plurality of client applications, an interface for receiving a message from a first of said plurality of client applications, and for determining whether the message is a control message for the server or a message destined for a second of said plurality of client applications, and a router, responsive to the interface determining that the message is destined for said second client application, to use the address information for the second client application to re-route the message via said management communications network to said second client application. By this approach, the actual management communications network used by the client applications to manage items of equipment via one or more server stations is also used for the transmission of messages between users of the client applications, the server station being used as a router for these messages.
