Method of altering the destination telephone number of an incoming call

摘要

An advanced intelligent network (AIN) comprises a services control point providing fully integrated service logic for both narrowband and broadband communications. When a terminating trigger of a switch on the phone number of the line serving a customer detects an incoming telephone call, the switch sends a query to the services control point with the calling number of the incoming call. The services control point issues a send data transaction with the retrieved calling party information to the customer's set-top box. The calling party information is then displayed on the customer's video display, and the customer sends an instruction for re-directing the call through the set-top box to the ISCP.
