SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLED MEDIA CONVERSION IN AN INTELLIGENT NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for the conversion of messages from one medium to another in an Intelligent Network (IN) telecommunications system comprising several Intelligent Peripherals (IPs) (911-914) connected to a Service Control Point (SCP) (901) over a network. The various IPs (911-914) are also linked to each other over a distinct telecommunications backbone (910). The SCP (901) orders a conversion IP (912) to retrieve (941) the received message over the telecommunications backbone (910) and convert (943) it to a specified medium, which may optionally be specified by the recipient (922). When the conversion process is complete, the SCP (901) orders a delivery IP (913) to retrieve (951) and deliver (953) the converted message to the intended recipient (922).
