Abstract: Methods and systems for providing Intelligent Network services are provided. Signaling probes separate from a switch listen to traffic on a signaling network wherein the switch communicates with other switches and subscriber equipment. Events identified within the signaling traffic are communicated to a Service Contact Point (SCP) via an ancillary network such as a packet switch network. Optionally, the SCP relays a command to the switch in response to the detected event.

Abstract: A method for producing an electronic signature in a font format from a manual signature, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a raster image of the manual signature; (b) cleaning the raster image to remove noise, such that the raster image is a cleaned image; (c) locating a plurality of edges of the cleaned image; (d) producing an outline of the cleaned image from the plurality of edges; (e) analyzing the outline to determine a plurality of guidelines for the cleaned image; and (f) hinting the cleaned image from the plurality of guidelines to produce the electronic signature in the font format.
