US 7826599 B2Abstract
A method of administering an emergency call service in a public switched telephone network (PSTN) (60) includes: receiving a call at a switching facility (70) from an end user terminal (EUT) (52) served by the facility (70), the facility (70) providing the EUT (52) access to a telephone service feature; disabling the telephone service feature for the EUT (52) in response to the facility (70) recognizing the received call as an emergency call; routing the emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP) (80) serving a geographic region in which the EUT (52) is located; and, providing a call taker (84) at the PSAP (80) control over the telephone service feature, such that the call taker (84) can selectively enable the telephone service feature.
The present inventive subject matter relates to the telecommunication arts. One particular application is found in conjunction with emergency 911 telephone services, and the specification makes particular reference thereto. However, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present inventive subject matter are also amenable to other like applications.
As is known in the art, in the public switched telephone network (PSTN), emergency 911 telephone service is implemented to connect emergency calls to a public safety answering point (PSAP). In a conventional implementation, e.g., as shown in FIG. 1, when a calling party 10 makes an emergency call (e.g., dials 911 in the United States of America or another emergency telephone number or code as may be the case in other countries), an end office (EO) 12 serving the calling party 10 recognizes the call as an emergency call, and routes the call over the PSTN 20 to a designated PSAP 30 serving the geographic area in which the calling party 10 is located. Traditionally, while the calling party 10 is engaged in the emergency call, the end office 12 also automatically blocks or disables a variety of telephone service features that are normally provided or otherwise available to the calling party 10. For example, commonly call waiting, three-way calling, B-party hold and/or other known telephone service features are disabled or suspended for the calling party 10 automatically by the end office 12 for the duration of the emergency call.
In accordance with one embodiment, a method of administering an emergency call service in a public switched telephone network (PSTN) includes: receiving a call at a switching facility from an end user terminal (EUT) served by the facility, the facility providing the EUT access to a telephone service feature; disabling the telephone service feature for the EUT in response to the facility recognizing the received call as an emergency call; routing the emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP) serving a geographic region in which the EUT is located; and, providing a call taker at the PSAP control over the telephone service feature, such that the call taker can selectively enable the telephone service feature.
