Abstract:
A method for controlling intelligent network services in an intelligent network comprising service switching points and at least one service control function, whereby for one or more call state models describing the call control operation of a certain call and located at a service switching point, there are two or more service logic programs associated with the service control function, each executing a certain intelligent network service and controlling the operation of the service switching point during the different phases of said call, and wherein the call state model is directed to a certain detection point or call phase in response to an operation sent by the intelligent network service, the method comprising the steps of:defining at the service switching point at least one operation, for the execution of which the service switching point can select from two or more alternative routes or detection points to which the call state mode can be directed; and indicating from the service control function in connection with said sending of an operation the route or detection point to which the call state model is directed.
