Method for enabling interaction between a user terminal and a service control point in an intelligent network, a related service control point, a related operator position computer terminal and related software modules

A service control point for enabling user interaction between a user terminal and said service control point and for coupling to a service switching point in an intelligent network, said service control point comprising:

• a service execution unit adapted to execute a service;
• a screen sender, having an input coupled to an output of said service execution unit and adapted to send a command to a computer terminal of an operator position, said command requesting user information;
• a connection handler, having an input coupled to an output of said service execution unit and adapted to establish a connection, under control of said service execution unit, between said user terminal and a telephone terminal at said operator position, said telephone terminal being coupled to said service switching point;
• and
• a user information receiver, having an output coupled to an input of said service execution unit and adapted to receive information sent by said operator position computer terminal.

An operator position computer terminal for enabling user interaction between a user terminal and at least one service control point in an intelligent network, said intelligent network further comprising at least one service switching point coupled to said at least one service control point, said operator position computer terminal comprising:

• a screen receiver, adapted to receive a command that requests user information, said command being sent by a screen sender of said at least one service control point, said screen receiver requesting said operator position computer terminal for user information on said user terminal, said operator position computer terminal being coupled to said at least one service control point by a connection handler of said at least one service control point;
• a user information receiver, having an input coupled to an output of said screen receiver and adapted to receive said user information;
• and
• a user information sender, having an input coupled to an output of said user information receiver, and adapted to send said user information from said operator position computer terminal towards a user information receiver of said at least one service control point.

A software module for running on a processing system for inclusion in a service control point for enabling user interaction between a user terminal and said service control point and for coupling to a service switching point in an intelligent network, said software module comprising the following software sub-modules:

• a service executing sub-module, adapted to execute a service;
• a screen sending sub-module, co-operating with said service executing sub-module and adapted to send a command to a computer terminal of an operator position, said command requesting user information;
• a connection handling sub-module, co-operating with said service executing sub-module and adapted to establish a connection, under control of said service executing sub-module, between said user terminal and a telephone terminal at said operator position, said telephone terminal being coupled to said service switching point;
• and
• a user information reception sub-module, co-operating with said service-executing sub-module and adapted to receive information sent by said operator position computer terminal.

A software module for running on a processing system for inclusion in operator position computer terminal for enabling user interaction between a user terminal and at least one service control point in an intelligent network, said intelligent network further comprising at least one service switching point coupled to said at least one service control point, said software module comprising:

• a screen reception sub-module, adapted to receive a command that requests user information, said command being sent by a screen sending sub-module of said at least one service control point, said screen reception sub-module requesting said operator position computer terminal for user information on said user terminal, said operator position computer terminal being coupled to said at least one service control point by a connection handling sub-module of said at least one service control point;
• a user information reception sub-module, co-operating with said screen reception sub-module and adapted to receive said user information;
• and
• a user information sending sub-module, co-operating with said user information reception sub-module and adapted to send said user information from said operator position computer terminal towards a user information receiving sub-module of said at least one service control point.
