  • Patent number: 8375144
    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system includes a first network module communicatively coupled to a plurality of services associated with a first network utilizing a first protocol. The system also includes a second network module communicatively coupled to a plurality of services associated with a second network utilizing a second protocol, the second protocol being different than the first protocol. The system also includes a service determination module coupled to the first and second network modules, the service determination module operable to receive a request from the first network module to access at least one service from the plurality of services associated with the second network. The service determination module determines the at least one requested service and sends the request to the at least one requested service associated with the second network through the second network module utilizing the second protocol.

  • Patent number: 6243453
    Abstract: A programmable call processing system (52) provides a standard call processing process (80) performing call processing according to industry standard call models, at least one database (84, 86) storing call processing data accessible by the set of standard call processing process (80), and at least one customized call logic program (92) for implementing extended subscriber features on the telecommunications switching system (10, 30). Further, an application program interface (56, 94) provides access by the at least one customized call logic program (92) to the at least one call processing database (84, 86) and further interrupting the standard call processing process (80) to execute the customized call logic program (92).
