  • Patent number: 7414981
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for higher-level service intelligence to cooperatively interoperate via a common session control and uniformly control and coordinate at least one transport resource provided by a communication network service provider. Including in the system is at least one association controller (AC) which is connectable to one or more communications networks so as to communicate with a systems entity located therein. In particular, the AC is configured to dynamically receive event registration list (ERL) which include a listing of events, wherein the list is received through an interactive exchange with an integrated services controller (ISC) associated with the particular AC. Receipt of the list registers one or more events for communications services which have a notification interest in the particular event.

  • Patent number: 7298734
    Abstract: A system and method that provides for an exchange of messages and associated data across a plurality of communication network system entities for one or more communications networks, wherein the system includes one or more distributed message brokers which are in communication with any number of communication network system entities. The message broker may perform message processing, which includes relaying and screening based on prioritization rules which may include customer classification criteria, associated service classification, and system entity classification applied to a message classification for messages communicated over the communications networks.

  • Patent number: 7113987
    Abstract: A system and method for providing centralized control of one or more communication services, includes an Integrated Services Controller (ISC), which is in communication with any number of communications networks, such as the Public Switched Telephone Network or in the Internet. The ISC may be further configured to dynamically receive a Message Registration List (MRL) through an interactive exchange of commands with one or more communications services. This MRL may include one or more messages in which a particular communications service has a notification interest. The ISC may provide centralized processing for messages received from the communications services. Intelligent prioritization rules may be configurable by a communications service provider so as to affect the prioritization of the communications services by ISC.

  • Patent number: 7027408
    Abstract: A method and system for providing integrated control of communication services includes an Integrated Service Controller (ISC) to establish communications with one or more communications networks, such as the Public Switched Telephone Network or the Internet. The ISC is further configured to provide dynamic service profile merging of service specific parameters, which are settable by a customer and/or communications service. The service specific parameters may contain variable entries which each of the communication services provide. The ISC may logically merge the service specific parameters into a multi service profile which contains a master key as well as service specific fields unique to each communications services.

  • Patent number: 6674725
    Abstract: A system and method for providing integrated control of communication services, which includes an Integrated Services Controller (ISC), which is configured to establish communications with any numbers of communications networks, such as The Public Switched Telephone Network or the Internet. Communications may be established with one or more communications services, which in turn provide classification criteria which includes variable parameters that define a capability of a particular communications service. Also received may be a Message Registration List (MRL), which registers with the ISC messages in which a particular communications service has a notification interest. Through these communications, the ISC may be configured to provide a centralized processing for messages received from various system entities so as to apply intelligent prioritization rules for each message processed.
