  • Patent number: 8644822
    Abstract: A service profile for a mobile station identifies at least a first set of services that apply when the mobile station is in communication with a first radio access network and a second set of services that apply when the mobile station is in communication with a second radio access network. A service platform, such as an application server, receives a signaling message, e.g., a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INVITE message, and the service platform identifies which radio access network is serving the mobile station based on information contained in the signaling message. The service platform then controls the provision of services to the mobile station based on the identified radio access network, in accordance with the service profile.

  • Patent number: 6522876
    Abstract: A service management system based on customized profile management codes. In an advanced intelligent network, a central control point includes a set of logic that defines profile management codes customized for individual subscribers or groups of subscribers. When the central control point receives a profile management code for a particular subscriber, for instance, the central control point may interpret the profile management code altogether differently than it does for the same code from another subscriber. For instance, the logic in a single central control point may indicate for one subscriber that the code “11” means to “activate call forwarding,” and the logic may indicate for another subscriber that the code “11” means to “bill the call to a specified third party account.
