PCT No. PCT/GB95/00913 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 15, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 15, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 21, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/29564 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 2, 1995A service creation system for a communications network of the intelligent network type has three different levels at which service creation activities can be carried out, these being SCE1, SCE2 and SCE3. The use of separate levels allows access to the service creation system to be kept functionally separate for users having different interests in the network. Hence, features which have to be installed at the network element level for a selected service to be available can be created in SCE1. Marketable service features, which give a view of features in that they encapsulate call handling logic thereof together with support and management descriptions of the feature, can be created in SCE2. Service packages, which permit collection of marketable service features to meet requirements of a service together with service-specific support and management information, can be created in either of Sce2 or SCE3. Profiles, which list the features relevant to a service for a user and provide data slots for the data necessary to each feature, can be provisioned and modified in SCE3. |
