SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING IP-BASED SERVICES

摘要

A system (10) for providing Internet Protocol-based advanced intelligent network services, comprises a plurality of media gateways (12), each controlled by a respective media gateway controller (20); a plurality of telephone signal gates (24), each having an associated signalling transport point (22), and each being in communication with a media gateway controller and with a plurality of clients on an IP-based telephony service network (16, 42). There is a plurality of universal service modules (26), each being in signal path communication with one another; and at least one service creation and service management module (32) having scripting and memory means so that any client may prepare or have prepared a script which details the specific advanced intelligent network services that are subscribed to. Each individual script may be invoked each time an individual client is the target of an incoming call to that client, or makes an outgoing call. IP-based telephony routing means conveys calls between and among individual clients of the advanced intelligent network services; so that any particular IP-based advanced intelligent network service to which any client of the IP-based telephony service network subscribes will be invoked whenever a call is made to or by that client if the conditions surrounding that call are within the parameters of such invokable advanced intelligent network services at the time the call is made.
