Abstract:
A device-aware service provisioning method for use in a telecommunications network having a service switching node and a service node, comprising the steps of:specifying service conditions applicable to a particular user regardless of a device used by the particular user, utilizing a user-specific service policy part in a user profile; specifying service conditions applicable to a particular device used by the user, utilizing a device-specific service policy part in the user profile; specifying service conditions applicable to the user when the user uses a particular device, utilizing a combination service policy part in the user profile; retrieving the user profile by the service switching node which includes at least one device-aware service trigger; upon encountering an armed detection point, generating an appropriate device-aware service trigger by the service switching node towards the service node; executing at least one appropriate Service Logic Program by the service node, responsive to the device-aware service trigger generated by the service switching node step; and taking an appropriate service action by the service switching node responsive to an instruction from the service node, the instruction resulting from the execution of at least one SLP.
