Abstract

A system for providing a service comprising: a service provisioning control means adapted for identifying a user, and for providing services to said user; the system further comprising: a location information retrieval means adapted for receiving location information of user; and for identifying a local service delivery system; an available service pack information retrieval means adapted for retrieving available service pack information corresponding to local service delivery system, the available service pack information comprising information about the set of possible services which can be delivered to user by local service delivery system; and wherein service provisioning control means is adapted for selecting a subset of services of available service pack information corresponding, based on at least a set of priority rules; and for providing at least one of subset of services to the user; and associated methods and devices.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A method for providing a service to a user by a local service delivery system under the control of a service provisioning control means, comprising performing by said service provisioning control means:

identifying said user by receiving an identification message comprising user identification information and by exchanging messages with a data storage means comprising a database which links user identification information with respective users;
controlling the provisioning of said services to said user;
the method further comprising:
receiving messages comprising user location information, and identifying said local service delivery system out of a set of local service delivery systems by exchanging messages with a storage means comprising a database which links location information with respective local service delivery systems;
retrieving available service pack information corresponding to said local service delivery system by exchanging messages with a storage means comprising a database which links local service delivery systems with respective available service pack information, said available service pack information comprising information about the set of possible services which can be delivered to said user by said local service delivery system;
selecting a subset of services of said available service pack information corresponding to said local service delivery system, based on at least a set of priority rules;
and
controlling the provisioning of at least one of said subset of services to said user.

5 more elements

A service provisioning control means (SPCM) for controlling the provisioning of a service to a user by a local service delivery system corresponding to a certain location of a set of disparate physical locations, wherein said SPCM is adapted for identifying said user, and for providing said services to said user;

said SPCM further comprising:
a location information retrieval means adapted for receiving or retrieving location information of said user;
and for identifying said local service delivery system out of a set of local service delivery systems;
an available service pack information retrieval means adapted for retrieving available service pack information corresponding to said local service delivery system, said available service pack information comprising information about the set of possible services which can be delivered to said user by said local service delivery system;
and wherein said service provisioning control means is adapted for
selecting a subset of services of said available service pack information, based on at least a set of priority rules;
and for
controlling the provisioning of at least one of said subset of services to said user.
