  • Patent number: 5541986
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically consolidating service scripts for downloading to Analog Display Services Interface compatible screen telephones. The method and system comprises specifying a general template for a set of service features, specifying line specific attributes for a feature, and then combining the two into a service module. Both the template and service modules are specified in terms script instructions grouped in blocks defined as call states, event handlers, soft keys, or macros. A customer's service is composed of multiple service modules which, when selected, would be consolidated by a network server computer into a singular service script. The method of consolidation requires first creating software objects from the blocks in the template. Then the blocks from the service modules are incorporated into each object created by the template or if an object can't be found, a new object is created.
