METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR LINE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for managing one or more communications lin es associated with a user of a communications network [104]. A service center [106] may receive from a user [101] line management information regarding on e or more of the user~s communications lines. This line management information may include a request from the user to handle all calls to the communication s line in a particular manner (e.g., forward all calls to a different number). This line management information may also include information regarding scheduling the handling of calls to the communications line (e.g., schedulin g call forwarding) or a request to handle calls differently based on informati on identifying the origination of the call (e.g., caller-ID). The service cente r may then forward instructions to the communications network such that the components (e.g., SSP or SCP) [314] of the communications network implement the user~s modifications.
