Patent number: 7573997Abstract: A communication network element determines a service provider's routing preference for routing communications and routes these communications from an originating connection address to a destination connection address over a network. The communication network element includes a receiver configured to receive a signal, which comprises the originating connection address and the destination connection address. The communication network element also includes a processor that determines the service provider associated with at least one of the originating connection address and the destination connection address of the received signal. The processor also determines the routing preference associated with the service provider using routing data.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2007Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: AT&T Labs, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, Bruce A. Nance, John E. Simino, Harold C. Fleischer, III, Michael Hanrahan, M. Lourdes Coronado

Patent number: 7242753Abstract: A telecommunications system determines a telecommunications service provider's routing preference for routing a call for a subscriber. The telecommunications system includes a storage that stores call routing data and a call routing service application for determining the routing preference using the call routing data. The call routing data includes an indicator that indicates when the subscriber subscribes to resold local switching services and when the subscriber subscribes to unbundled local switching services. The telecommunications system also includes a processor that executes the call routing service application, and that generates call routing instructions for routing the call according to the determined routing preference.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2006Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: AT & T Labs, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, Bruce A.

Patent number: 7206398Abstract: A new service destination determination switching system is provided for a telecommunications environment in which a called party has discontinued an old service destination and obtained a new service destination. The new service destination determination switching system is used to obtain the new service destination when a calling party places a call to the old service destination. The switching system includes a hub switch that receives a rerouted call from an old service destination switch. The hub switch corresponds to a routing number prefix used to reroute calls from the old service destination switch to the hub switch. The routing number prefix causes the hub switch to initiate a trigger to a network platform that obtains the new service destination.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2004Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, M. Lourdes Coronado, Mark Tamasi, John E. Simino, Michael E. Kolker

Patent number: 7065193Abstract: A telecommunications billing system generates a bill for a local service provider when a call is routed for a subscriber of the local service provider by an incumbent telecommunications service provider. The system includes a billing generator that generates a billing record in response to receiving the call. The billing generator generates a terminating access billing record when the call is an unbundled local switching call to the subscriber of the local service provider. Alternatively, the billing generator generates an originating access billing record when the call is an unbundled local switching call from the subscriber of the local service provider.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2004Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, Bruce A.

Patent number: 6795539Abstract: A telecommunications system determines a routing preference of a telecommunications service provider for a telephone call from a calling party to a called party. A switch in the telecommunications system includes a signal generator that generates a signal in response to receiving the telephone call. The signal includes a service variable and a telecommunications service provider identifier. The service variable indicates a subscription-type for a telephone number associated with the calling party or the called party. The signal is used to determine the routing preference at a service control point in the telecommunications system. The service control point receives the signal from the switch and determines the routing preference. The routing preference is forwarded to the switch. The switch receives the routing preference and routes the telephone call according to the routing preference.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2003Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, Bruce A.

Patent number: 6718028Abstract: A new destination number determination switching system is provided for a telecommunications environment in which a called party has discontinued an old called party destination number and obtained a new called party destination number. The new destination number determination switching system is used to obtain the new called party destination number when a calling party places a call to the old called party destination number. The switching system includes a hub switch that receives a rerouted call from a corresponding original destination switch. The hub switch corresponds to a routing number prefix used to reroute calls from the corresponding original destination switch to the hub switch. The routing number prefix causes the hub switch to initiate a trigger to a network platform that obtains the new called party destination number.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2002Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, M.

Patent number: 6442259Abstract: A call forwarding system for an AIN telecommunications environment is provided in which a destination has changed from an old telephone number to a new telephone number. A calling party places a call which attempts to contact the destination by dialing the old telephone number. The call forwarding system includes a hub switch, and an old address switch with which the calling party connects to upon dialing the old telephone number. The old address switch, upon recognizing that the calling party has called a telephone number which has been changed, prefixes the old telephone number with a three digit code, and forwards the call, along with the prefixed old telephone number, to the hub switch. The hub switch recognizes the three digit code, and launches an AIN trigger to an AIN platform which determines the new telephone number and whether the destination has elected to pay for forwarding the call to the new telephone number.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2001Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, M.

Patent number: 6442267Abstract: A local routing system is provided for selectively routing traffic in a telecommunications network according to a local service provider's preferences. The local service provider provides service for telephone lines acquired from a local exchange carrier. The telecommunications network supports an originator subscribing to the local service provider. The originator initiates a trigger when originating a call to a destination by dialing a number. The local routing system includes a classifier, a determiner, and a router. The classifier analyzes the dialed number and categorizes the call into one of several predetermined classes of traffic. The determiner determines whether the local service provider has a routing preference for the class of traffic into which the classifier has placed the call.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2000Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Laura Culli, Bruce A.
