Abstract: A telecommunications subscriber profile management method for a telecommunications subscriber profile management system including a customer service representative (“CSR”) terminal. The terminal presents subscriber profile data in a common user interface format. The terminal receives input in a common format, the input representing commands for management of said subscriber profile data. The system includes at least two disparate network elements, each element having a common function. Each of the elements for stores respective portions of subscriber profile data, in disparate formats.

Abstract: A method and system for filtering unwanted wireless telecommunications includes structure and steps/function for monitoring traffic associated with roaming subscribers, the traffic being carried via inter-network Internet Protocol links. Structure and steps/function are also provided for intercepting a send-routing-information message from an originating node within the traffic, and initiating a response to the originating node so as to direct the originating node to send a short message service (SMS) or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) associated with the send-routing-information message to a SPAM-filter via an SMS or MMS delivery message. Structure and steps/function are further provided for receiving the SMS or MMS at the SPAM-filter, and determining, at the SPAM-filter, whether the SMS or MMS constitutes an unwanted message. Also, structure and steps/function are provided for invoking an action for managing the SMS based on results of the determining process.

Abstract: The invention herein discloses technological advancements as they pertain to telecommunications technologies and subscriber profile management systems. In particular, the invention relates to a vendor independent mediation layer utilizing subscriber management objects articulated through certain methods, systems, algorithms and logical steps outlined herewith. Thus, the invention presents a computer program product implemented secure transactional-based system and method of accessing subscriber information distributed among a base of heterogeneous (multi-vendor) HLRs, and other such multi-vendor telecommunications network elements.

Abstract: The invention of present speaks to a method and system for the prevention of unwanted wireless telecommunications which is implemented as part of a computer program product in (preferentially) the telecommunications operator's network, which meets and/or exceeds much of current, proposed and even academically anticipated legislative (and by necessity, technical) criteria, and indeed, thereby complies with the broader body of prima facie consumer requirements associated with wireless telecommunications spam filtering. Indeed, the invention provides for a remarkably flexible and customizable advance in the art through the utilization of a progressive filtering algorithm. This algorithm offers both the subscriber and the service provider with the capability to block and/or extract potentially harmful or unsolicited SMS, MMS and other such messages on the basis of an extensive range of parameters and rules.

Abstract: A method and system for applying policies to services is provided. An embodiment includes a method for applying services wherein a request from a subscriber for a particular service is received. The request is compared with a policy to ascertain whether or not access to the particular service is permitted, and, if permitted, if there are any restrictions or limitations to that access.

Abstract: Disclosed is an enhanced system and method for bridging calls across telecommunications networks, including an illustrative application of the invention as it relates to international roaming among prepaid wireless subscribers. For instance, whenever wireless subscribers roam internationally they may invoke the system by keying in an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) short code followed by the number to be dialed. Said subscriber's prepaid account is then decremented in real-time (until such account is fully depleted). A key feature of the disclosure generally is the bridging of the call legs between the wireless subscriber initiating the telephone communication and that of the receiving party through a series of general purpose databases and computers without requiring modifications to existing core network or handset infrastructure.

Abstract: A method of distributing and executing service logic across private and public networks for the generation and provision of telecommunication services is disclosed. The functionality and capabilities associated with both Intelligent Network (IN) and non-IN compliant elements of a public telecommunications system are abstracted using a set of control and informational parameters and variables which are associated with a given network element or network element category. A service creation and execution application programming interface provides access to a service creation and execution environment which is distributed in public network gateways, private network gateways, and in compatible software platforms.
