| 322 | Apparatus and method for querying replicated databases using segmentation directories | US389358 | 1999-09-03 | US06101494A | 2000-08-08 | Bahman Khosravi-Sichani; Donald Jay Mintz; Mark A. Ratcliffe |
| The apparatus and method of the present invention provides even loadsharing of round-robin querying of replicated databases in a network architecture which responds to network conditions. The network architecture utilizes a round-robin routing table that includes correlated index numbers, point codes and addresses of the replicated databases. The network architecture responds to incoming queries with searching of the round-robin routing table by incrementing to a successor index number and an associated point code. The network architecture may further determine whether the database at the address pointed by the point code is accessible. If not, the network architecture increments to another successor index number to locate an accessible database. When an accessible database is found, the point code is set to the address of the accessible database and the query is forwarded to that address. | ||||||

| A method of providing number portability for the treatment of calls from a calling party to a specific number of a ported called party is disclosed. Once the dialed digits are received at a switching office serving the calling party, a determination is made of whether the call is a number that has been ported. If the number has been ported, the new routing information is obtained from an enhanced directory number table resident at the originating office. In the event that the originating office is unable to offer LRN service, information is obtained at an alternate office. Routing information is updated automatically and directly from a network Service Management System (SMS) to each telephone exchange. | ||||||

| 328 | Number portability with database query | US774964 | 1996-12-26 | US6047055A | 2000-04-04 | R. William Carkner; L. Lloyd Williams |
| A method of providing number portability for the treatment of calls from a calling party to a specific number of a called party is disclosed. An Initial Address Message (IAM) containing the calling and called party's numbers to enable said call to reach said terminating office is forwarded from an originating office to a terminating office. Once the IAM is received at the terminating office, a determination of whether the call is directed to a portable number is made. If the call is directed to a portable number, a release message containing an indication that the called party number is a portable number is forwarded from the terminating office to the originating office. Once the release message is received at the originating office, a TCAP query is launched from the originating office to an SCP if said release message contains an indication that the called party number is a portable number. At the SCP, the called party number is translated to obtain new routing information. A new IAM is then sent from the originating office to a terminating office associated with the new routing information. | ||||||
| 329 | Method and system for delivery of a message to a display unit | US873341 | 1997-06-11 | US06028921A | 2000-02-22 | Dale W. Malik; Robert A. Koch |
| A method and system for transmitting a message obtained from a message delivery database in a calling name delivery service environment. A communication is received from a calling party directory number and directed to a code number. In response to the communication, a called party directory number associated with the communication is obtained. Next, an indication of a selected message is received from a list of messages. A prefix corresponding to the selected message is obtained from the message delivery database. The prefix and the calling party directory number are populated in a signaling message pertaining to the communication. The signaling message containing the prefix and the calling party directory number is transmitted to a network element serving the called party directory number. In response to receipt of the signaling message of the network element, a message translation of the prefix is obtained from a message translation database, and the message translation is transmitted to a called party display unit. | ||||||

A query message is received by the signal transfer point (26), a first database residing in the signal transfer point (26) is accessed to determine the location of a second database (238) also residing in the signal transfer point for processing the query message. The second database (238) is then accessed to obtain the network address of a home location register or short message service center, which is then used to deliver the query message to the network node specified by the network address. | ||||||
| 332 | Systems and methods for servicing calls by service agents connected via standard telephone lines | US833990 | 1997-04-11 | US5987115A | 1999-11-16 | Robert W. Petrunka; Robert L. Smith |
| A call servicing system facilitates the servicing of customer calls by service agents. The call servicing system includes local customer switches, local agents switches, a network switch, and an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) server. The local customer switches direct calls to and from the customers and the local agent switches direct calls to and from the service agents. Remote service agents connect to the local agent switches using a single standard telephone line. The network receives a call from one of the customers, detects information from the customer call, and routes the customer call to a remote service agent over the single standard telephone line. The ACD server receives the detected information from the network switch, determines that the remote service agent can service the customer call, and controls the network switch to route the customer call to the remote service agent over the single standard telephone line. | ||||||

| 334 | Method for providing location/geographic portability in a system having different service providers within a common numbering plan area | US497408 | 1995-06-30 | US5970131A | 1999-10-19 | Edward Sonnenberg |
| A method for enabling a plurality of Local Service Providers within a common Numbering Plan Area (NPA) to serve Subscribers of the plurality of Local Service Providers. The method includes the step of assigning to each Subscriber of a Local Service Provider within the common NPA a unique three digit code, hereinafter referred to as an SPA code. The service provider area (SPA) code is used by the telephone system in the same manner presently used for routing calls made when a calling Subscriber dials the NPA code of the called party. Here, however, the SPA code is not dialed by the calling Subscriber. The dialed directory number, NXX-XXXX, of a called Subscriber subscribed to a different Local Service Provider, is sent to a database. The database maintains a record of the relationships between the directory numbers of Subscribers and the SPA codes of the Subscribers. The database retrieves the SPA code associated with the dialed directory number presently serving the called Subscriber. The call is routed as SPA-NXX-XXXX. Because the ten digit format, SPA-NXX-XXXX, is the same as the present NPA-NXX-XXXX, ten digit format, existing signaling and routing mechanisms may be used to route the call. Thus, each one of the Subscribers of each one of the plurality of Local Service Providers is assigned a common SPA code, each one of the Local Service Providers having a different SPA code. | ||||||
| 335 | Method and apparatus for providing a service in a switched telecommunications system wherein a control message is altered by a receiving party | US803300 | 1997-02-20 | US5949871A | 1999-09-07 | Salih Kabay; Douglas John Carson; James Robertson Galloway; Peter John Mottishaw |
| A method of providing a service, such as local number portability (LNP), in a switched telecommunications system, in which a message interceptor is disposed in a signalling link of an SS7 signalling network of the system. The message interceptor detects calls for which service implementation is required, by comparing the content of intercepted circuit-related SS7 messages with service trigger conditions, such as message type (checked directly by the interceptor) and message content (e.g. called number, which the interceptor checks by reference to a database). When service implementation is detected as being required, the message interceptor may implement at least part of the required service by modifying parameters of the intercepted message; alternatively, the interceptor may re-direct the message to a service control function for service implementation. The invention enables services to be implemented without incurring inefficient use of core network resources, and without expensive and time-consuming modification of switch and SCP control software. | ||||||

| 339 | Method and apparatus for establishing an ISDN call between parties | US790602 | 1997-01-29 | US5943412A | 1999-08-24 | Denis Courvoisier |
| In a switched telecommunication network (PSTN or ISDN) between a calling party connected to an ISDN switched digital network and a destination called party whose call number is written "Z", the number "Z" of the destination called party is automatically replaced by a number "Y" for an intermediate site which is connected to the ISDN, and the number "Z" of the destination called party is conveyed to the intermediate site, via the ISDN D channel. This substitution process is extended to interconnections between competing ISDN networks and creates a new kind of signaling for use between public exchanges, intermediate between protocol D and ITU-T semaphore channel number 7. | ||||||
