Method for administering and setting up services in a switched system

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for administering and selecting language, dialect, vocabulary and/or sub-vocabulary for a subscriber station functionally associated with at least one switched network. In an embodiment, the switched network includes at least one subscriber station connected to a switching device which is further connected with a controller. The controller is further connected with a media gateway which facilitates communication between the switched network and/or other networks (such as the Internet). Auxiliary devices may be connected with the controller. An interactive dialog device is connected with the controller, the device enabling requests from the subscriber stations for an interactive language, dialect, vocabulary, and/or sub-vocabulary to be effected. The device and controller may communicate via an protocol such as the extended control protocol CP+. The language, dialect, vocabulary, and/or sub-vocabulary may be effected by key and/or voice inputs with the device. The device may be associated with another network, such as the Internet.
