International Classification:

H04M 342
H04M 1100
H04M 1500
H04M 700

US Classification:

379201

Abstract:

A data table for organizing data used by call processing procedures in a telephone service execution environment of a telecommunication network. The data table includes a table header for identifying the data table. Data in the table is organized in one or more rows corresponding to one or more columns. The data table further includes a table specification for defining the one or more columns of the data table. Data tables can be created in a telephone service creation environment in the telecommunication network and can be accessed by one or more call processing records for executing telephone services during telephone service execution. The call processing records comprise a plurality of nodes and branches, each node representing a particular call processing procedure. The data tables are stored in a data base in the telephone service creation environment. Table nodes permit a call processing record to access a table and return information indicating whether a specified value exists in the data table or for retrieving a particular value from the table.

International Classification:

H04M 700

US Classification:

379201

Abstract:

In a telecommunication network, a method of creating, in response to inputs from an operator of a record creation system, a general service specification for a call processing record. The call processing record includes logically related nodes and branches. In the method, a processor in the record creation system prompts the operator to identify at least one optional node, at least one required node, and at least one restricted node from a node set presented to the operator. Optional nodes are nodes which may appear in a call processing record associated with the general service specification; required nodes must appear in the call processing record associated with the general service specification; and restricted nodes cannot appear in the call processing record associated with the general service specification. After prompting the operator for the selected nodes, the processor receives the operator's selections and enables the optional, required, and restricted nodes as a general service specification from which processing records can then be created.

US Classification:

379201

Abstract:

In a telecommunication network, a method of creating, in response to inputs from an operator of a record creation system, a template for the creation of call processing services. Each call processing service is represented by a call processing record containing logically related call processing nodes and branches. In the method, a processor in the record creation system displays a selected call processing record to the operator. The operator then identifies which nodes in the call processing record will be made customizable. A customizable node is a node for which subsequent template users can specify predetermined expressions. After the node is selected, the processor displays to the operator all the expressions of the selected node and prompts the operator to identify which of the expressions will be customizable. The operator then identifies which expressions of the selected node will be customizable. The processor then enables the selected call processing record and the designation of customizable node expressions for the select node as a service template.

US Classification:

379201

Abstract:

In a telecommunication network, a method of creating, in response to inputs from an operator, a user defined call processing node for a call processing record. The call processing record contains logically related nodes and branches. Initially, the operator instructs the processor that he or she wishes to construct a user defined call processing node. The processor then presents to the operator a display screen in which to construct the user defined call processing node and presents the operator with a list of predefined nodes. From this list, the operator selects predefined nodes and arranges them into an underlying representation of call processing procedures. Once this is completed, the processor enables the underlying representation of call processing procedures as a single node for use in creating call processing records.
