Parameterized telecommunication intercept

A computerized method for intercepting a telecommunication message using a parameterized intercept request comprising:

• storing, by a computing device, a parameterized intercept request comprising:
• (i) a set of intercept events for identifying a candidate telecommunication message for intercept, the set of intercept events comprising at least two of the following types of intercept events:
• an internet protocol event, a media event, or a signaling event;
• (ii) a criterion, associated with the set of intercept events, indicative of the parameterized intercept request requiring each of the intercept events in the set of intercept events to be satisfied by a candidate telecommunication message for the candidate telecommunication message to match the set of intercept events;
• (iii) a set of intercept actions for processing the candidate telecommunication message;
• receiving, by the computing device, a first telecommunication message;
• storing a state for the first telecommunication message indicative of the first telecommunication message being in an inactive state;
• determining, by the computing device, that the first telecommunication message matches the set of intercept events based on the criterion;
• wherein said determining includes determining the first telecommunication message satisfies a first intercept event from the set of intercept events;
• updating the state for the first telecommunication message to indicate the first telecommunication message is in a pending state after determining the first telecommunication message satisfies a first intercept event;
• wherein said determining further includes determining the first telecommunication message satisfies a remaining set of intercept events from the set of intercept events;
• updating the state for the first telecommunication message to indicate the first telecommunication message is in an active state after determining the first telecommunication message satisfies the remaining set of intercept events from the set of intercept events;
• and
• executing, by the computing device, the set of intercept actions based on the matched first telecommunication message.
