INTELLIGENT DATA PERIPHERAL SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

An Intelligent Data Peripheral (400) allows the exchange of data messages between PSTN (405) users and the Intelligent Data Peripheral (400) under the guidance of service logic residing in intelligent network Service Control Point (406) systems. When the PSTN (405) call originator attempts to establish a call, the Service Switching Point (intelligent network capable switch) under the guidance of the Service Control Point (406) system routes the call to an Intelligent Data Peripheral (400). Then, the call originator interacts with the Intelligent Data Peripheral (400). Finally, based on information supplied by the user and user's data application running on user's personal computer, as well as the service logic and service subscriber's data stored on the Service Control Point (406) (or other databases external to Service Control Point (406)), the Service Control Point (406) requests the Service Switching Point to route the call to its final destination.
