Mobility extended telephone application programming interface and method of use

An integrated wireless and wired communication system, said system having a wireline network with centralized control of telephone services provided to subscribers and allowing enhanced customized services to be provided by carriers and a wide-area wireless intelligent network that allows enhanced customized services to be provided by carriers to thereby provide personalized services to individual subscribers from any call point and to provide mobility management within said wireless network, said system comprising:

• a wireless intelligent network means, said wireless network means having a protocol and allowing for enhanced and customized services by carriers, said wireless network means including service control points adapted to hold data bases, and at least one mobile switching center means and service transfer point means;
• and
• a wireline intelligent network means, said wireless network means having a protocol and allowing for enhanced and customized services by carriers, said wireline switched intelligent network operatively connected to said wireless intelligent network means so as to form a node thereon and enable said wireline network means to appear to the wireless network means as an extension of itself while providing local mobility and profile information, wherein events broadcast via mass media means are used to modify routing of calls placed from a wireline or wireless network based phone by using a link from the mass media broadcasting stations to transmit event triggers that cause the routing to be modified.

A method of employing a wireline intelligent network as a functional entity of a wide area wireless intelligent network to afford connection between said networks which have different protocols, the method comprising:

• providing a data processor having means resident thereon to translate the control protocol of the wireless intelligent network to an application programing interface protocol of said wireline intelligent network;
• connecting said processor to said wireline intelligent network and to a home location register in said wireless intelligent network, wherein said data processor allows call routing information to be exchanged between said private wireline network and said home location register such that the wireline network becomes a functional entity of said wireless intelligent network;
• and
• operating said connected networks through said data processor to provide a platform for custom application tailoring of an individual user's needs on said wireless intelligent network and to provide mobility management to said wireless intelligent network.

An integrated network communications system, said system comprising

• a switched cellular network based on wireless intelligent network architecture wherein said cellular network has a first protocol and comprises:
• at least one service control point with a home location register,
• a private wired network having a second protocol, wherein said private wired network comprises:
• at least one open architecture server hosting a PBX;
• and
• an interface between said wired and cellular networks which translates between said first protocol and said second protocol to effectively form said private network comprising said server as a node of said cellular network whereby said server co-acts with said service control point and home location register to support various applications.

A mobility extended telephone network programming interface, said interface comprising:

• a gateway server means adapted to be connected to a combined wireline and wireless network, said wireless network having at least one service control point with a home location register and said wireline network having an open architecture server with a protocol;
• an enterprise network operatively connected to said gateway server means and adapted to host a multiplicity of application means that contain different languages, data and information;
• and
• said server and enterprise network cooperating to access user profile information on said combined wireline and wireless network while limiting the number of SS7 connections to said combined network.
