Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for the delivery of enhanced telephony services for calls received on local telephone exchange switches. The invention employs an intercept node which intercepts number portability query messages and ascertains whether enhanced telephony services should be applied to a call with reference to an enhanced telephony service user database. If enhanced telephony services are to be applied to the call, the call is routed to a node capable of applying enhanced telephony services, otherwise the call is forwarded on to a number portability processing node. Enhanced telephony services may thus be provided in relation to calls received at local telephone exchange switches which do not themselves support identification of enhanced telephony service users and associated triggering to initiate the provision of enhanced telephony services, but which do generally support a number portability mechanism.

Abstract: This invention relates to the delivery of advanced telephony services for calls received on a local telephone exchange switch which only supports services of a first type. A call forwarding function is set on the local telephone exchange switch for incoming calls directed to the main telephone dialling number for a subscriber to forward calls to a service platform. Telephony services of a second type can be provided to some calls for the subscriber at the service platform. Other calls for the subscriber can be forwarded back to the local telephone exchange switch using an alternate telephone dialling number for the subscriber and directed to subscriber equipment. The local exchange can be reconfigured to disable a subscriber-configurability feature for services of a first type to prevent a subscriber from configuring a setting which may interfere with services of the second type provided on the service platform.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for processing telephone calls in a packet-based telephony service. A store of telephone party identifiers is maintained for multi-service users having access to the packet-based telephony service and an alternate telephony service. Incoming signalling information for telephone calls in the packet-based telephony service is monitored and outgoing signalling information may be altered with reference to the store. An alteration may involve replacing telephony party identification data associated with one telephony service for telephony party identification data associated with another telephony service. The invention allows a multi-service user to be consistently identified by other telephony users by a single telephony party identifier instead of one telephony party identifier for each service they subscribe to. Further, a multi-service user can be identified at the call destination by a single telephony party identifier, irrespective of which telephony service is used to make the call.

Abstract: The invention relates to the generation of configuration data for use in the migration of telephone switching systems. Configuration data for use in the migration of subscribers from a first telephone switching system over to a second telephone switching system in a telecommunications network is generated by monitoring signalling information on telephone channels associated with subscribers for telephone calls conducted via the first telephone switching system. The monitored signalling information is then analysed in relation to call data produced by the first telephone switching system for the calls to identify relationships between the monitored signalling information and call data for calls conducted by subscribers. Configuration data based on the identified relationships is then stored and used to configure the second telephone switching system with mappings between the associated telephone channels and the telephone dialling numbers for subscribers.
