Abstract
Provided is a method that includes receiving a redirect request from one or more switches of a telecommunications network, receiving, from one or more switches of the telecommunications network, a connect request that requests connection of a transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the normal subscriber number, and configuring the telecommunication network to connect the transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the modified subscriber number, independently of the switch serving the normal receiver device being operable or inoperable. The redirect request comprises a normal subscriber number and a modified subscriber number.
Claims25
A method, comprising:
- setting a connect threshold;
- receiving a redirect request from one or more switches of a telecommunications network, wherein the redirect request comprises a normal subscriber number and a modified subscriber number;
- receiving, from one or more switches of the telecommunications network, a connect request that requests connection of a transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the normal subscriber number;
- receiving an authentication of a user making a connect request, wherein receiving the authentication of the user making the connect request comprises receiving a status of the user making the connect request;
- granting the connect request when the user status satisfies the connect threshold and refusing or delaying the connect request when the user status does not satisfy the connect threshold;
- and
- configuring the telecommunication network to connect the transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the modified subscriber number.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable to implement method comprising:
- set a connect threshold;
- receiving a redirect request from one or more switches of a telecommunications network, wherein the redirect request comprises a normal subscriber number and a modified subscriber number;
- receiving, from one or more switches of the telecommunications network, a connect request that requests connection of a transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the normal subscriber number;
- receiving an authentication of a user making a connect request, wherein receiving the authentication of the user making the connect request comprises receiving a status of the user making the connect request;
- granting the connect request when the user status satisfies the connect threshold and refusing or delaying the connect request when the user status does not satisfy the connect threshold;
- and
- configuring the telecommunication network to connect the transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the modified subscriber number.
A telecommunication system, comprising:
- a plurality of switches interconnected to one another;
- a plurality of subscriber devices comprising at least one transmitter device and at least one receiver device;
- one or more databases;
- and
- one or more application servers, wherein one or more of the plurality of the switches is disposed between the application server and each of the subscriber devices, and wherein at least one of the one or more application servers is configured to:
- set a connect threshold;
- receive a redirect request from one or more switches of a telecommunications network, wherein the redirect request comprises a normal subscriber number and a modified subscriber number;
- receive, from one or more switches of the telecommunications network, a connect request that requests connection of a transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the normal subscriber number;
- receive an authentication of a user making a connect request, wherein receiving the authentication of the user making the connect request comprises receiving a status of the user making the connect request;
- grant the connect request when the user status satisfies the connect threshold and refuse or delay the connect request when the user status does not satisfy the connect threshold;
- and
- configure the telecommunication network to connect the transmitter device to a receiver device associated with the modified subscriber number.
