Abstract:
A call processing system for processing telephone calls between a calling party and a called party, the system comprising:a calling party subscriber profile that comprehensively maintains data that describes subscriber services of the calling party, wherein the calling party subscriber profile is organizable in an individual profile and/or a group profile; a called party subscriber profile that comprehensively maintains data that describes subscriber services of the called party, wherein the called party subscriber profile is organizable in an individual profile and/or a group profile; a subscriber profile module that stores the calling party subscriber profile and the called party subscriber profile; a call behavior module to process the telephone calls in accordance with the calling party subscriber profile and the called party subscriber profile and to resolve one or more service conflicts that occur between the calling party subscriber profile and the called party subscriber profile; an end user access module of the calling party coupling the call behavior module to the calling party; and an end user access module of the called party coupling the call behavior module to the called party; wherein a process flow of the call processing system at least in part comprises first, second, third, and fourth process flow times, wherein the second process flow time is subsequent to the first process flow time, wherein the third process flow time is subsequent to the second process flow time, wherein the fourth process flow time is subsequent to the third process flow time; wherein the calling party accesses the end user access module of the calling party at the first process flow time; wherein the end user access module of the calling party communicates with the call behavior module at the second process flow time; wherein the call behavior module accesses the subscriber profile module at the third process flow time; wherein the subscriber profile module accesses the called party subscriber profile and the calling party subscriber profile between the third and fourth process flow times; wherein the call behavior module accesses the end user access module of the calling party at the fourth process flow time.
