Abstract: An advanced intelligent network (AIN) comprises a services control point providing fully integrated service logic for both narrowband and broadband communications. When a terminating trigger of a switch on the phone number of the line serving a customer detects an incoming telephone call, the switch sends a query to the services control point with the calling number of the incoming call. The services control point issues a send data transaction with the retrieved calling party information to the customer's set-top box. The calling party information is then displayed on the customer's video display, and the customer sends an instruction for re-directing the call through the set-top box to the ISCP.

Abstract: An advanced intelligent network (AIN) comprises an services control point providing fully integrated service logic for both narrowband and broadband communications. When a terminating trigger event of a switch on the phone number of the line serving a customer detects an incoming telephone call, the switch sends a query to the services control point with the calling number of the incoming call. The services control point retrieves calling party information corresponding to the calling number directly from a line identification database and issues a send data transaction with the retrieved calling party information to the customer's set-top box. The calling party information is then displayed on the customer's video display.

Abstract: An advanced intelligent network (AIN) comprises a services control point providing fully integrated service logic for both narrowband and broadband communications. In the network, a narrowband switch queries the services control point in response to a telephone call and the services control point interacts with a subscriber via the subscriber's broadband set-top terminal device through an exchange of one or more signaling messages prior to instructing the narrowband switch as to how to complete the call. For example, the signalling messages may include a query from the services control point for data indicating whether the subscriber's broadband set-top terminal device is in use or is turned off. The signaling messages from the services control point may carry information for display. If provided, response messages may carry user input information.

Abstract: A communications network system having an advanced intelligent network (AIN) controlling the system provides narrowband and broadband communications to customer premises. The system includes a narrowband network for narrowband communications including at least one signal switching office and a signal system. The signal switching office routes narrowband calls and detects an outgoing narrowband call from a customer at a customer premises and also detects dialed digits corresponding to such outgoing narrowband call. A broadband network for broadband communications is connected to video equipment at the customer premises. The video equipment includes a video display and is connected to the broadband network via an addressable settop box. A services control point in the advanced intelligent network is operative to perform network service logic programs for routing narrowband communications in the narrowband network.
