  • Patent number: 8194833
    Abstract: A system and method for routing an incoming call to a subscriber-selected destination number in accordance with dynamic data concerning the subscriber provided by an address book, a calendar and a presence server. A routing system routes the incoming call in accordance with a subscriber-defined routing rule associated with the originating number of the incoming call, as determined from the address book. The routing rule may specify that the incoming call be routed to a destination number associated with the current date and time, as indicated by the calendar. The routing rule may specify, alternatively or in addition thereto, that the incoming call be routed to a destination number associated with a presence-enabled service on which the subscriber is currently active. The subscriber or caller may also be alternatively notified of the routing of the incoming call.

  • Publication number: 20040120499
    Abstract: A method for providing communication service in an Advanced Intelligent Network environment comprises receiving an alert message the originates from a database, the alert message including a protocol parameter; identifying a protocol that controls communication between the intelligent peripheral and the database in a protocol identifying by the protocol parameter, the protocol being stored in a database in the IP containing a plurality of protocols and a plurality of protocol parameters, each protocol in the plurality of protocols being correlated with a unique protocol parameter from the plurality of protocol parameters; and executing the protocol.

  • Patent number: 6591315
    Abstract: This invention provides a telecommunications routing system and method that allows a switch (e.g., an intelligent peripheral) to control the routing to a special applications device, which results in savings of time, cost and capacity throughout the entire network. Control of the routing lies within the Service Switching Point (SSP) which reduces the need to requery a Service Control Point (SCP) in error situations. This invention incorporates into the SSP a remote IP routing table containing routing instructions for IPs. The SSP will know if an alternate route is possible, based on the error from the IP. The SSP will have a rudimentary intelligence about routing which allows it to reroute when necessary, without requerying back to the SCP. The remote IP routing table will also allow the SSP to route to a successive IP if the local IP, although operative, cannot process the request.
