Abstract:
1. A system for providing third-party call control in a network-enabled telecommunications environment comprising: a call-control mechanism connected to the Network for providing service logic and routing intelligence for initiating call connections; a control application running on the call-control mechanism, the control application providing the service-logic description and connection request command instruction for implementing third-party controlled call connections; a call-switching mechanism operating at a public network level accessible to the call-control mechanism, the call-switching mechanism for providing an abstract state of switching matrix and for commutation of external and internal call legs making up a connected call; and a commutation application running on the call-switching mechanism, the commutation application for making and breaking call connections according to instructional commands sent from the control application; characterized in that the call-control mechanism using the control application sends primitive text commands to the call-switching mechanism, which utilizing the commutation application, receives, reads and implements the text commands containing all of the service logic and instructions required to successfully construct call connections at the public network level, and wherein the call-switching mechanism by virtue of the commutation application sends notification of success or failure regarding implementation of received commands back to the control application.
