A telecommunications service or application has associated with it a set of exceptions which, in effect, define a set of matchable inputs from a user and corresponding (answer) functions to be performed in the event of the particular input. Each exception has defined for it a text string or strings that a text string derived from an input text message must match for the exception to be matched, and has associated with it a corresponding answer function for the exception. An input user text message (50) is tested against a list (51) of exceptions sequentially until a match is found, and then the corresponding answer function is executed. If no explicit match is found, then the system automatically executes a default answer function. The matched answer function may contain an SQL query (52), which causes an external access to a database (5). When the database reply is received, processing is resumed on this exception match and the remainder of the answer function is executed, which can comprise some text to be output (53) to the user. |
