Abstract: A calling type identification system selects a calling type. The system selects NPA-NXX telephone number blocks for the calling type based on NPA-NXX block categories related to the calling type. The system develops number data for the selected NPA-NXX telephone number blocks. The system receives a telephone number for a call. The system processes the telephone number and the number data to identify and indicate if the telephone call is of the selected calling type.

Abstract: A call processing system receives a call request, and in response, generates a call identification, establishes context information, and transfers the call identification and the context information. A context server receives the call identification and the context information, and in response, stores the context information in association with the call identification. A communication path is established for the call between the caller and a call destination, and the call destination receives the call identification. The context server receives a context request from the call destination indicating the call identification and an information template, locates the context information using the call identification, selects a set of the context information based on the information template, and transfers the selected set of the context information to the call destination. The call destination handles the call based on the selected set of the context information.

Abstract: A service control system processes call information to transfer first context information to a context server and to transfer the first call information to a destination server. The destination server processes the call information to transfer second context information for the call to the context server and to transfer destination information indicating a call destination to the service control system. The service control system processes the destination information to transfer routing information for the call to a communication network. The communication network processes the routing information to route the call to the call destination indicated by the destination information. The call destination processes the call to transfer third context information for the call to the context server. Billing information is generated the call based on the first context information, the second context information, and the third context information in the context server.

Abstract: A method and system for handling a call in a communications network that requires operator assistance. The system comprises a service control point, an operator server and a context server. The operator server dynamically selects an optimal operator center from a plurality of available operator centers for the call based on context information. The operator server then provides information on the selected operator center to the service control point, which generates call handling information for the call that causes the communications network to route the call to the selected one of the operator centers. The context server manages the context information for the call.
