Abstract:
1. A method for modifying an audio stream on behalf of a calling party, the method comprising the steps of: recognizing, at a telephone network switch, a called directory number requiring a query to an SCP for instructions; receiving the query from the switch at the SCP; recognizing that the called directory number is associated with a call center; determining that the calling party subscribes to an audio stream monitoring service located on an intelligent network node; receiving an order at the intelligent network node from the SCP; transferring the call path, in response to the order, such that the calling party is connected to the intelligent network node; connecting to the call center from the intelligent network node; monitoring, at the intelligent network node, the audio stream in both directions between the call center and the calling party; executing the audio stream monitoring service on the intelligent network node; identifying at least one portion of the audio stream for removal; removing the at least one portion of the audio stream resulting in a filtered audio stream; and sending the filtered audio stream to the calling party.
