Abstract:
1. A method, performed by an intelligent peripheral component of a communications network in providing an enhanced call back service to a communications device, comprising: receiving, by a processor of the intelligent peripheral component, from a service control point component of the communications network, a seize-resource-invoke message to reserve a user-specific message store, the message store residing at the intelligent peripheral component and being for storing caller-specific information; sending, by the processor of the intelligent peripheral component, to the service control point component of the communications network, in response to receiving the seize-resource-invoke message, a seize-resource-return-result message confirming receipt of, and intent to act on, the seize-resource-invoke message requesting reservation of the user-specific message store; receiving, by the processor of the intelligent peripheral component of the communications network, from the service control point component of the communications network, a specialized-resource-function-directive invoke message comprising: accessing, by the processor of the intelligent peripheral component, the script indicated by the execute-script parameter of the specialized-resource-function-directive invoke message; executing, by the processor of the intelligent peripheral component, the script accessed; performing, by the processor of the intelligent peripheral component, in response to executing the script indicated by the execute-script parameter of the specialized-resource-function-directive invoke message, a specialized resource function to interact, in an interaction, with the communications device; and retrieving, by the processor of the intelligent peripheral component, from the user-specific message store, in response to the interaction, and using the access key field of the specialized-resource-function-directive invoke message received from the service control point component, the caller-specific information for providing the caller-specific information to the communications device.
