Abstract
A method for providing communication service in an Advanced Intelligent Network environment comprises receiving an alert message that originates from the database, the alert message including a protocol parameter; identifying a protocol that controls communication between the intelligent peripheral and the database in a protocol identified by the protocol parameter, the protocol being stored in a database in the IP containing a plurality of protocols and a plurality of protocol parameters, each protocol in the plurality of protocols being correlated with a unique protocol parameter from the plurality of protocol parameters; and executing the protocol.
Claims40
A method for providing communication service in an Advanced Intelligent Network environment, the communication service utilizing at least a first database and an intelligent peripheral, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving an alert message that originates from the first database, the alert message including a parameter that specifies a communication protocol;
- (b) identifying a protocol that controls communication between the intelligent peripheral and the database in a protocol identified by the communication protocol parameter, the protocol being stored in a second database in the intelligent peripheral containing a plurality of protocols and a plurality of protocol parameters, each protocol in the plurality of protocols being correlated with a unique protocol parameter from the plurality of protocol parameters;
- and
- (c) executing the protocol.
A method for providing communication service in an Advanced Intelligent Network environment, the communication service utilizing at least a database and an intelligent peripheral, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving an alert message that originates from the database, the alert message including a protocol-identification parameter;
- (b) establishing a first bearer connection with an Advanced Intelligent Network switch, the bearer connection being correlated to the alert message;
- (c) creating a plurality of second bearer connections based on instructions from the database, the plurality of second bearer connections being bridged through the intelligent peripheral;
- (d) receiving from the database instructions to perform a first service for a party connected to the first bearer connection, and instructions to perform a second service for at least one party in the plurality of second bearer connections.
An apparatus for providing communication service in an Advanced Intelligent Network environment, the communication service utilizing at least a database and an intelligent peripheral, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a processor;
- (b) a port coupled to said processor;
- (c) a memory coupled to said processor, said memory storing instructions adapted to be executed on said processor, said instructions including:
- (i) receiving an alert message that originates from the database, the alert message including a protocol parameter;
- (ii) identifying in a database a protocol, the database correlating a plurality of protocols with a plurality of protocol parameters, the protocol controlling communication between the intelligent peripheral and the database in the protocol identified by the protocol parameter;
- and
- (iii) executing the protocol.
An apparatus for providing communication service in an Advanced Intelligent Network environment, the communication service utilizing at least a database and an intelligent peripheral, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a processor;
- (b) a port coupled to said processor;
- and
- (c) a memory coupled to said processor, said memory storing instructions adapted to be executed by said processor, said instructions including:
- (i) receiving an alert message that originates from the database, the alert message including a parameter identifying a protocol to use for communications between the database and the intelligent peripheral;
- (ii) establishing a first bearer connection with an Advanced Intelligent Network switch, the bearer connection being correlated to the alert message;
- (iii) creating a plurality of second bearer connections based on instructions from the database, the plurality of second bearer connections being bridged through the intelligent peripheral;
- and
- (iv) receiving from the database instructions to perform a first service for a party connected to the first bearer connection, and instructions to perform a second service for at least one party in the plurality of second bearer connections.
A medium for providing communication service in an Advanced Intelligent Network environment, the communication service utilizing at least a database and an intelligent peripheral, the medium storing instructions adapted to be executed by a processor, the instructions comprising:
- (a) receiving an alert message that originates from the database, the alert message including a protocol parameter;
- (b) identifying in a database a protocol, the database correlating a plurality of protocols with a plurality of protocol parameters, the protocol controlling communication between the intelligent peripheral and the database in the protocol identified by the protocol parameter;
- and
- (c) executing the protocol.
