System and method for providing enhanced services for a telecommunication call
US 6349100 B1
1. A method for operating a communication network comprised of a first service platform and a second service platform, wherein the first service platform is comprised of a first processor, a first interworking unit, and a first service node, and wherein the second service platform is comprised of a second processor, a second interworking unit, and a second service node, the method comprising:
receiving a first set of information into the first processor wherein the first set of information is related to a first user communication in a first communication format;
in the first processor, selecting a first service and the first service node to provide the first service based on the first set of information;
in the first processor, generating and transmitting a first message and a second message;
receiving the first user communication in the first communication format and the first message into the first interworking unit;
in the first interworking unit, converting the first user communication from the first communication format to a second communication format and transmitting the first user communication in the second communication format to the first service node in response to the first message;
receiving the first user communication in the second communication format and the second message into the first service node;
in the first service node, providing the first service in response to the second message;
receiving a second set of information into the first processor wherein the second set of information is related to a second user communication and wherein the second user communication is in the first communication format;
in the first processor, selecting a second service and the second service node to provide the second service based on the second set of information;
in the first processor, generating and transmitting a third message and a fourth message;
receiving the third message into the first interworking unit;
in the first interworking unit, transferring the second user communication in the first format to the second interworking unit in response to the third message;
receiving the fourth message into a second processor;
in the second processor, generating and transmitting a fifth message and a sixth message in response to the fourth message;
receiving the second user communication in the first communication format and the fifth message into the second interworking unit;
in the second interworking unit, converting the second user communication from the first communication format to the second communication format and transmitting the second user communication in the second communication format to the second service node in response to the fifth message;
receiving the second user communication in the second communication format and the sixth message into the second service node; and
in the second service node, providing the second service in response to the sixth message.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first set of information and the second set of information are telecommunication signaling messages.
generating and transmitting a query from the first processor to a database;
receiving a response into the first processor from the data base; and
processing the response in the first processor.
in the first service node, generating and transmitting a seventh message indicating that the first service has been provided;
receiving the seventh message into the first processor;
in the first processor, selecting a third service and the second service node to provide the third service in response to the seventh message;
in the first processor, generating and transmitting an eighth message and a ninth message;
receiving the eighth message into the first interworking unit;
in the first interworking unit, transferring the first user communication in the first format to the second interworking unit in response to the eighth message;
receiving the ninth message into the second processor;
in the second processor, generating and transmitting a tenth message and an eleventh message in response to the ninth message;
receiving the first user communication in the first communication format and the tenth message into the second interworking unit;
in the second interworking unit, converting the first user communication from the first communication format to the second communication format and transmitting the first user communication in the second communication format to the second service node in response to the tenth message;
receiving the first user communication in the second communication format and the eleventh message into the second service node; and
in the second service node, providing the third service in response to the eleventh message.
