Method of communication and connection control

Claim 1

A method for adapting a system offering services to a telecommunication network having at least one telephone exchange including a basic call state model associated with a service switching function of an intelligent network, the basic call state model being arranged for detecting those points in a call establishment process at which a call control function of the exchange can be in co-operation with the service switching function, the method comprising: (A) setting at least one special detection point to the basic call state model; (B) in response to the call establishment process proceeding to said special detection point, by a special adaptation software, forming: (a) a communication status description of a communication status which describes a desired communication status between respective parties of a service in accordance with the service, the communication status comprising logical configuration of communication of the respective parties of the service, to the extent said logical configuration is known to said switching function, and (b) a connection status description of a connection status of connection organs which description describes a physical connection between a subscriber or subscribers and a service switching point, and of the resource configuration of nodes which are related to said network; (C) transmitting said communication status description and said connection status description to control software of services of said system and to control software of a communication session; (D) in response to a system service request for a requested service by said telecommunication network, service management giving a description of desired communication status, corresponding to a requested service, using said transmitted communication status description and said connection status description and service logic of said service management; (E) said communication session control software determining what kind of connection status corresponds to an existing communication status, using said transmitted connection status description; (F) in response to said determining of said kind of connection status, connection management of said system making connections, such that a connection corresponding to said requested service is created as a call.

Claim 2

A method for adapting a system offering services to a telecommunication network having at least one telephone exchange including a basic call state model associated with a service switching function of an intelligent network, the basic call state model being arranged for detecting those points in a call establishment process at which a call control function of the exchange can be in co-operation with the service switching function, the method comprising: (A) setting at least one special detection point to the basic call state model; (B) in response to the call establishment process proceeding to said special detection point, by a special adaptation software, forming: (a) a communication status description of a communication status which describes a desired communication status between respective parties of a service in accordance with the service, the communication status comprising logical configuration of communication of the respective parties of the service, to the extent said logical configuration is known to said switching function, and (b) a connection status description of a connection status of connection organs which description describes a physical connection between a subscriber or subscribers and a service switching point, and of the resource configuration of nodes which are related to said network; (C) transmitting said communication status description and said connection status description to control software of services of said system and to control software of a communication session; (D) in response to a system service request for a requested service by said telecommunication network, service management giving a description of desired communication status, corresponding to a requested service, using said transmitted communication status description and said connection status description and service logic of said service management; (E) said communication session control software determining what kind of connection status corresponds to an existing communication status, using said transmitted connection status description; (F) in response to said determining of said kind of connection status, connection management of said system making connections, such that a connection corresponding to said requested service is created as a call.

Claim 10

A method for adapting system offering services to a telecommunication network at least one telephone exchange of which includes a terminal exchange function, the method comprising: (A) said terminal exchange function giving a service request in regard to a requested service, to said system offering services when a predefined identification condition which is related to a call is fulfilled; (B) in response to said service request, a special adaptation software forming a communication status description which describes a desired status of communication between parties of the service, including logical configuration of the communication between the parties of the service, and (b) a connection status description of a status of connection organs, which describes a physical connection between subscribers or subscriber and a legacy exchange, and (c) a resource configuration description of resource configuration of nodes that are related to the telecommunication network; (C) transmitting said communication status description and said connection status description to a service management of said system offering services and to a communication session management; (D) in response to a system service request by said telecommunications network, said service management giving a description of a desired communication status corresponding to said requested service, utilizing said transmitted communication status description and said connection status description; (E) said communication session management determining what kind connection status corresponds to an existing communicator status, utilizing said transmitted connection status description; (F) in response to said kind of connection status, a connection management in said system offering services making connections so as to create a connection corresponding to said requested service as a call.

Claim 11

A method for adapting system offering services to a telecommunication network at least one telephone exchange of which includes a terminal exchange function, the method comprising: (A) said terminal exchange function giving a service request in regard to a requested service, to said system offering services when a predefined identification condition which is related to a call is fulfilled; (B) in response to said service request, a special adaptation software forming a communication status description which describes a desired status of communication between parties of the service, including logical configuration of the communication between the parties of the service, and (b) a connection status description of a status of connection organs, which describes a physical connection between subscribers or subscriber and a legacy exchange, and (c) a resource configuration description of resource configuration of nodes that are related to the telecommunication network; (C) transmitting said communication status description and said connection status description to a service management of said system offering services and to a communication session management; (D) in response to a system service request by said telecommunications network, said service management giving a description of a desired communication status corresponding to said requested service, utilizing said transmitted communication status description and said connection status description; (E) said communication session management determining what kind connection status corresponds to an existing communicator status, utilizing said transmitted connection status description; (F) in response to said kind of connection status, a connection management in said system offering services making connections so as to create a connection corresponding to said requested service as a call.
