Dynamically associating service script logics to provide a subscriber feature within an advanced intelligent network

Claim 1

A system for providing subscriber features to a plurality of subscribers within an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network, comprising: a plurality of procedures wherein each one of said subscriber features associated with one or more of said plurality of procedures; a next-action-variable associated with each of said plurality of procedures, said next-action-variable being set by each associated said one or more of said plurality of procedures upon execution of each of said one or more of said plurality of procedures; and an index procedure for correlating said one or more of said plurality of procedures with each one of said subscriber features, said index procedure further determining a first procedure for execution from said one ore more of said plurality of procedures associated with a particular subscriber feature, said index procedure further sequentially executing each of said one or more of said plurality of procedures associated with a particular subscriber feature by evaluating said next-action-variable associated with the prior executed procedure to identify a next action for execution in effectuating said subscriber feature.

Claim 2

A system for providing subscriber features to a plurality of subscribers within an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network, comprising: a plurality of procedures wherein each one of said subscriber features associated with one or more of said plurality of procedures; a next-action-variable associated with each of said plurality of procedures, said next-action-variable being set by each associated said one or more of said plurality of procedures upon execution of each of said one or more of said plurality of procedures; and an index procedure for correlating said one or more of said plurality of procedures with each one of said subscriber features, said index procedure further determining a first procedure for execution from said one ore more of said plurality of procedures associated with a particular subscriber feature, said index procedure further sequentially executing each of said one or more of said plurality of procedures associated with a particular subscriber feature by evaluating said next-action-variable associated with the prior executed procedure to identify a next action for execution in effectuating said subscriber feature.

Claim 11

A method for providing a plurality of subscriber services within an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network, said telecommunications network associated with a telecommunications node including a plurality of procedures wherein each one of said subscriber services is associated with one or more of said plurality of procedures, said method comprising the steps of: receiving an indication to effectuate at least one subscriber service of said plurality of subscriber services for a particular subscriber; invoking a start procedure, said start procedure further comprising the step of determining a first procedure to be executed from said one or more of said plurality of procedures associated with said service; executing said first procedure; setting a next-action-variable associated with said executed procedure; invoking a control procedure, in response to a termination of said execution, to determine what further action needs to be effectuated by evaluating said next-action-variable; and if said further action comprises a next procedure associated with said subscriber service: invoking said next procedure; and repeating said steps of setting said next-action-variable and invoking said control procedure until no further procedure needs to be executed to effectuate said subscribe service; otherwise effectuating said determined further action to provide said subscriber service.

Claim 12

A method for providing a plurality of subscriber services within an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network, said telecommunications network associated with a telecommunications node including a plurality of procedures wherein each one of said subscriber services is associated with one or more of said plurality of procedures, said method comprising the steps of: receiving an indication to effectuate at least one subscriber service of said plurality of subscriber services for a particular subscriber; invoking a start procedure, said start procedure further comprising the step of determining a first procedure to be executed from said one or more of said plurality of procedures associated with said service; executing said first procedure; setting a next-action-variable associated with said executed procedure; invoking a control procedure, in response to a termination of said execution, to determine what further action needs to be effectuated by evaluating said next-action-variable; and if said further action comprises a next procedure associated with said subscriber service: invoking said next procedure; and repeating said steps of setting said next-action-variable and invoking said control procedure until no further procedure needs to be executed to effectuate said subscribe service; otherwise effectuating said determined further action to provide said subscriber service.

Claim 19

An apparatus for providing a plurality of subscriber features within an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network, comprising: a service switching point (SSP) for receiving a call connection over said telecommunications network; and a service control point (SCP) associated with said SSP for providing one or more of said plurality of subscriber features toward said call connection, said SCP further comprising: a plurality of service independent blocks (SIBs), each of said SIBs further comprising a number of executable instructions; a plurality of execution service script logics (SSLs), each of said execution SSLs further associated with one or more of said plurality of SIBs; a start SSL for receiving an indication from said SSP to provide one of said subscriber features towards said call connection, said start SSL executing the first execution SSL from a plurality of execution SSLs associated with said subscriber feature; an index SSL for associating one or more of said plurality of execution SSLs with each of said plurality of subscriber features, said index SSL further executing each of said plurality of execution SSLs associated with said subscriber feature to provide each of said subscriber features; and a next-action-variable associated with each of said plurality of execution SSLs, said next-action-variable identifying for said index SSL the next execution SSL to execute from said one or more of said plurality of execution SSLs associated with said indicated subscriber feature.

Claim 20

An apparatus for providing a plurality of subscriber features within an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network, comprising: a service switching point (SSP) for receiving a call connection over said telecommunications network; and a service control point (SCP) associated with said SSP for providing one or more of said plurality of subscriber features toward said call connection, said SCP further comprising: a plurality of service independent blocks (SIBs), each of said SIBs further comprising a number of executable instructions; a plurality of execution service script logics (SSLs), each of said execution SSLs further associated with one or more of said plurality of SIBs; a start SSL for receiving an indication from said SSP to provide one of said subscriber features towards said call connection, said start SSL executing the first execution SSL from a plurality of execution SSLs associated with said subscriber feature; an index SSL for associating one or more of said plurality of execution SSLs with each of said plurality of subscriber features, said index SSL further executing each of said plurality of execution SSLs associated with said subscriber feature to provide each of said subscriber features; and a next-action-variable associated with each of said plurality of execution SSLs, said next-action-variable identifying for said index SSL the next execution SSL to execute from said one or more of said plurality of execution SSLs associated with said indicated subscriber feature.
