Method for setting up and/or processing a service of an intelligent network

A method for at least one of setting up and processing a service of an intelligent network supervised by a network operator, the intelligent network having an actual telecommunications network, at least one service control point set up for carrying out services of the intelligent network, and at least one service management point assigned to the at least one service control point, the method which comprises:

• at least one of generating and processing a service definition with a network operator, on request of a service provider;
• converting the service definition at a service management point into service functions and service data prototypes with the network operator, the service functions representing procedures to be carried out by a service, the service data prototypes being used for describing data used by the service functions;
• choosing a data format allowing a recording of text and instruction codes in a text-compatible format for at least one of the service data prototypes;
• equipping markup service data prototypes represented in the chosen data format with instruction codes used for producing service data entities;
• displaying a content of at least one of the markup service data prototypes on a service provider terminal;
• preparing the service using the service functions and the service data prototypes on an intelligent network, with the network operator;
• producing at least one of the service data entities from the service provider terminal and via a link set up to the service management point for each of the service data prototypes, with the service provider, the at least one of the service data entities containing the data used by the service functions;
• producing the at least one of the service data entities with the service provider, via instructions entered at the service provider terminal, by selecting and running at least one of the instruction codes of the at least one of the markup service data prototypes displayed on the service provider terminal;
• selecting at least one of the service data entities for one of activating and updating the service, with one of the service provider and a service user;
• and
• one of activating and updating the service, with the service provider, using the service functions and the at least one of the service data entities selected by one of the service provider and the service user.
