Description

200826633 九、發明說明 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係相關於電信硬體和服務’尤其是相關於長途 電信服務之遞送。 【先前技術】 在習知上,可使用預付電話卡取得預付電話服務。預 付電話卡的使用因爲比標準長途服務節省費用所以日漸普 及。在多數電話公司,預付呼叫卡通常提供比一般長途服 務低很多的國內和國際長途費率。在某些情況中,月費、 稅金、及其他費率可能佔有總長途帳單的1 〇 %或更多。 在美國,使用預付呼叫卡可在長途電話帳單上節省多達 60 — 70 %。 預付呼叫卡可讓使用者無論位在何處皆可享受低的長 途費率。使用者可從家中、辦公室、付費電話、手機及旅 館、機場等呼叫。若使用者的電話帳單失控,則預付呼叫 卡可幫助控制電話費用在預算內。預付電話卡可被當作送 給朋友及/或家人的禮物。 某些電話可讓使用者能夠利用預付呼叫卡從特定外國 呼叫USA,使用者可避免海外呼叫問題。預付呼叫卡可提 供低的長途費率,並且若使用手機則可幫助使用者避免昂 貴的漫遊費用。 習知預付呼叫服務可分配給使用者一個人電話卡號碼 (如、個人識別號碼(PIN )、或授權碼)。PIN或授權 200826633 碼可包括例如七到十四(7-14 )個數位專用號碼。將PIN 特有地分配給單一使用者。當使用者購買預付呼叫服務時 ,將PIN (和指令)提供給使用者。在線上購買的例子中 ,PIN和指令可被電子郵寄給使用者。在預付電話卡的例 子中,PIN通常可能位在呼叫卡的背面且被銀條所覆蓋。 可根據下面步驟,從任何按鍵式電話,使用預付呼叫 服務來使用習知電話卡: 1.使用者可撥打1 -800-取用號碼(在按鍵式電話上 鍵入大約1 1個數字)或出現在使用者的卡片背面上之當 地取用號碼。 2·使用者可遵循由語音反應單元(VRU )呈現給使 用者之互動語音指令,及可提示使用者輸入使用者的PIN 號碼(輸入PIN需要在按鍵式電話上鍵入另外大約7-14 個數字)。在某些情況中,卡片可被成預先規劃有服務提 供者自動號碼識別(ANI )。 3. 然後,當使用者將正常呼叫時,使用者遵循進一 步的互動指令以撥打電話號碼: a·關於國際電話爲:0Π +國碼+市碼+當地號碼( 可能在按鍵式電話上鍵入另一大約11或更多個數字)。 b ·關於國內電話爲:1 +區域號碼+當地號碼(可能 在按鍵式電話上鍵入另一 11個數字)。 4. 爲了打另一通電話,使用者需要壓下井字鍵兩次 (## ) ’或星號(* )鍵,或類似功能的按鍵順序,然後 遵循步驟3中的指令。 -5- 200826633 習知使用電話卡會產生額外費用。此種費用包括例如 販售的特定條款或條件所設定的費用,但並不侷限於此。 某些卡片從電話卡公司未控制的付費電話、手機、或旅館 電話產生費用。大部分的電話卡可具有下面費用中的一或 多個之組合: 時間增加費用一時間增加費用係以時間增加爲單位之 使用者線上所花的實際時間。時間增加可從1秒變化到5 分。 連接費費用一啓始單一通電話就收取一次費用。每次 由於使用者打電話而對方回應來使用卡時,向使用者收取 連接費用,可從可利用的分鐘內扣除連接費用。就長時間 通話而言,具有連接費用的卡較佳。 啓始連接/週/月服務/維持費一某些卡具有啓始設定費 。有時會收取週或月費,係在第一次使用卡之後加以收取 ,可從卡値扣除分鐘或金額。即使使用者未使用呼叫卡, 費用仍會累積。 付費電話/蜂巢式電話費用一幾乎源自於付費電話的 所有電話卡呼叫在每打一次電話就被收取一次費用。在某 些例子中,此費用乃聯邦法所要求的,及該費用每一通典 型上範圍爲3 5到90分。從卡値扣除此金額。若使用者的 蜂巢式或行動電話公司允許使用者能夠從行動電話打電話 ,則可能以每一呼叫費來收費。某些行動電話合約並不允 許使用其他通訊公司’如電話卡或撥號服務等。 稅金一可能有聯邦通訊委員會(F C C )、聯邦、州、 200826633 及/或當地費用,即依據呼叫起源處的稅金。(這些費用 可能是每月出現在電話帳單上之相同的稅金和可能按每一 通來計算)。通常,這些稅金被納入考量費率的重要參考 因素,但是它們能夠分開從卡値扣除。 不幸地,如上述,習知預付電話服務供應需要使用者 輸入許多數字才能取得服務。爲了打電話而輸入許多數字 所產生的不方便已使服務不太成功,因爲低於提供此種節 省可能成本的服務之預期。 如下面進一步說明一般,圖1描劃例示通訊網路環境 1〇〇。美國的長途電話公司之槪念係藉由將AT&T解散成 一長途電話公司和幾個本地貝爾操作公司(RB0C)加以 建立。在過去幾十年來,美國的電信立法與規範行動已經 造成大量現有本地交換業者(ILEC)、內邰父換耒者( IXC )、及新進的本地交換業者(CLEC )。經由複雜的法 規系統,電話呼叫係使用合作公司的巨大網路’經由這些 種種賣家網路而加以完成。在1 984年,AT&T在美國被 反托拉斯法規所解散,形成本地電話公司(ILEC )的網 路,及長途電話公司(跨區交換業者(IXC))。在角军散 後,一開始,各個本地迴路都被壟斷並且爲一本地交換業 者(LEC )所經營,典型爲區域貝爾操作公司(RB0C ) 或諸如GTE等獨立電話公司等等,包含末端辦公室(E〇 )交換機104、108所經營。不包含蜂巢式電話’本地迴 路爲產生長途電話服務時的一必要輸入,及典型上’長途 電話公司並沒有其本身比得上的本地迴路。在通信時’本 200826633 地交換的使用帶來費用,藉以從起源呼叫者1 02產生呼叫 (取用起源)或從終止呼叫者1 1 0終止呼叫(取用終止) 。使得呼叫終止在起源呼叫的RBOC外需要使用IXC的 網路106,或在出現點(POP ) 132、134接取的長途電話 公司承載該呼叫。IXC並沒有本地迴路的本地區域壟斷之 利益,以提供持續的收入。事實上,長途電話服務的競爭 隨著例如MCI、AT&T、及Sprint等公司的長途電話服務 競爭而變得激烈。使用發信網路1 1 4設定呼叫。也可以使 用專用分支交換機(PBX) 112而在生意上進行電信交換 〇 1 9 96年通信法通過,授權本地電話服務市場的競爭 ,允許CLEC (見例如第2圖的104c )在提供本地交換服 務上與ILEC競爭。此競爭造成了更多公司來競爭長途電 話服務。第3圖描繪一使用閘道器2 8 8透過資料網路1 40 傳送語音通訊之例示網際網路語音協定(VoIP)網路環境 286 ° 在此環境中,長途電話公司已找到另一收入來源,即 藉由販賣電信服務的取用而販賣預付長途電話給第三者, 即建立預付長途電話服務。然而,要求客戶使用者必須輸 入一長串數字來完成一呼叫,如此使得這些預付服務不能 被推廣。 當客戶進行一電話呼叫時,呼叫通常產生到ILEC交 換機104上,然後,藉由輸入PIN的一連串數字,然後電 話號碼,可透或ILEC的網路及/或IXC的網路106傳送 200826633 ,然後可能終止於另一 ILEC的設施 一種方式,用以改良產生預付長途電 服習知方法的缺點。 【發明內容】 本發明提出提供預付電信服務的 和電腦程式產品之各種例示實施例。 在例示實施例中,方法可包括: 的ANI辨識系統中,從一使用者接 ANI ),其中使用者已事先取得一通 服務已與該裝置綁在一起,及其中在 劃有一特徵碼之長途服務(LD S )自 包含露出該ANI。 在另一例示實施例中,方法可另 初使用通訊裝置,使用者壓下LDS 供者平台接收以下至少之一:零售商 或使用者的自動號碼識別(ANI )。 在另一例示實施例中,零售商識 者和零售商之間的收益分享。 在另一例示實施例中,方法可包 與使用者相關的値。 在例示實施例中,値可包括例如 、通訊服務的値、服務分鐘的値、貨 帳戶値、存款帳戶値、貨幣視場帳戶 1 0 8上。因此,需要 話服務之呼叫,以克 設備、系統、方法、 在一服務提供者平台 收一自動號碼識別( 訊裝置,其中一預付 使用者壓下已預先規 動鍵時,及撥號順序 外包括:當使用者最 自動鍵時,在服務提 識別碼;帳號;及/ 別可被用於服務提供 括:允許使用者使用 :預付長途電話的値 幣値、帳戶値、支票 値、信貸値、借貸値 -9 - 200826633 、及/或產品及/或服務數量値,但並不侷限於此。 在例示實施例中,値的使用可包括例如:進行電信呼 叫、購買產品及/或服務、取用服務、發送現金、購買出 現在線上之產品及/或服務、購買出現在廣播上之產品及 /或服務、購買出現在節目上之產品及/或服務、購買出 現在廣播節目上之產品及/或服務、購買出現在直接反應 電視(DRTV )廣播電視上之產品及/或服務,及/或購 買出現在居家購物網路(HSN )及/或QVC廣播節目上 之產品及/或服務,但並不侷限於此。在例示實施例中, DRTV節目可包括例如:電視資訊廣告、居家購物網路( HSN ) ®廣播、及/或QVC®廣播,但並不侷限於此。在例 示實施例中,可在電話上設置一按鈕以指出使用者授權値 的使用。在例示實施例中,可將直儲存在資料庫,在與特 有通訊裝置相關的記錄中。根據例示實施例,按鈕可專用 於啓動電話裝置上的此種功能。 在另一例示實施例中,方法可包括:預先供應値的促 銷量給與使用者的通訊裝置相關之帳戶。 在例示實施例中,方法可包括:提示使用者加値此値 〇 在例示實施例中,方法可包括:提示使用者授權値的 使用。根據例示實施例,使用者授權可包括例如:驗證;

Description of the Invention [Technical Field to Which the Invention Is Ascribed] The present invention relates to the delivery of telecommunications hardware and services, particularly in relation to long-distance telecommunications services. [Prior Art] Conventionally, a prepaid telephone card can be used to obtain a prepaid telephone service. The use of prepaid calling cards is becoming more common as it saves money over standard long distance services. At most telephone companies, prepaid calling cards typically provide much lower domestic and international long distance rates than regular long distance services. In some cases, monthly fees, taxes, and other rates may account for 1% or more of the total long-distance bill. In the US, using a prepaid calling card can save up to 60 – 70% on long distance billing. Prepaid calling cards allow users to enjoy low long-distance rates no matter where they are. Users can call from home, office, payphone, mobile phone and hotel, airport, etc. If the user's phone bill is out of control, the prepaid calling card can help control the phone bill within the budget. Prepaid calling cards can be used as gifts for friends and/or family members. Some phones allow users to call the USA from a specific foreign country using a prepaid calling card, and users can avoid overseas calling problems. Prepaid calling cards offer low long-distance rates and help users avoid expensive roaming charges if they use a mobile phone. The conventional prepaid calling service can assign the user a person's calling card number (e.g., personal identification number (PIN), or authorization code). PIN or Authorization The 200826633 code can include, for example, seven to fourteen (7-14) digit-specific numbers. Assign PINs uniquely to a single user. The PIN (and instructions) is provided to the user when the user purchases the prepaid calling service. In the online purchase example, the PIN and instructions can be emailed to the user. In the example of a prepaid calling card, the PIN may typically be located on the back of the calling card and covered by a silver bar. You can use the prepaid calling service to use a conventional calling card from any touch-tone telephone according to the following steps: 1. The user can dial 1-800-access number (type approximately 1 1 digit on the touch-tone telephone) or appear in The local access number on the back of the user's card. 2. The user can follow the interactive voice command presented to the user by the voice response unit (VRU) and can prompt the user to enter the user's PIN number (entering the PIN requires typing another 7-14 digits on the touch-tone phone) ). In some cases, the card can be pre-planned with Service Provider Automatic Number Identification (ANI). 3. Then, when the user will call normally, the user follows the further interactive instructions to dial the phone number: a·About international calls: 0Π + country code + market code + local number (may type another on the touch-tone phone Approximately 11 or more numbers). b • About domestic calls: 1 + area code + local number (may type another 11 digits on the touch-tone phone). 4. In order to make another call, the user needs to press the hex key twice (##) ’ or the asterisk (*) key, or the key sequence of a similar function, and then follow the instructions in step 3. -5- 200826633 Conventional use of a calling card incurs additional charges. Such fees include, for example, the fees set by specific terms or conditions of sale, but are not limited thereto. Some cards generate fees from payphones, cell phones, or hotel phones that are not controlled by the calling card company. Most of the calling cards may have one or more of the following charges: Time Increasing Costs One time increasing the cost is the actual time spent on the user's line in increments of time. The time increase can vary from 1 second to 5 points. The connection fee is charged once the single call is initiated. Each time the user responds by calling the user to use the card, the user is charged a connection fee, and the connection fee can be deducted from the available minutes. For long-term calls, a card with a connection fee is preferred. Start Connection/Week/Month Service/Maintenance Fee One card has a setup fee. Sometimes a weekly or monthly fee is charged, which is charged after the first use of the card, and the minute or amount can be deducted from the card. Even if the user does not use the calling card, the cost will accumulate. The cost of a payphone/honeycomb call is almost a charge for all call card calls originating from a payphone. In some instances, this fee is required by federal law and ranges from 35 to 90 points per general fee. This amount is deducted from the card. If the user's cellular or mobile phone company allows the user to make a call from a mobile phone, it may be charged for each call charge. Some mobile phone contracts do not allow the use of other communications companies such as calling cards or dial-up services. Tax One may have Federal Communications Commission (F C C ), Federal, State, 200826633 and/or local fees, ie taxes based on the origin of the call. (These fees may be the same taxes that appear on the phone bill each month and may be calculated on a per-pass basis). Often, these taxes are included as an important reference factor in considering rates, but they can be deducted separately from the card. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, the conventional prepaid telephone service provision requires the user to enter a number of numbers to obtain the service. The inconvenience of entering many numbers in order to make a call has made the service less successful because it is less than expected to provide such a costly service. As will be further explained below, Figure 1 depicts an exemplary communication network environment. The commemoration of long-distance telephone companies in the United States was established by disbanding AT&T into a long-distance telephone company and several local Bell Operating Companies (RB0C). In the past few decades, US telecommunications legislation and normative actions have resulted in a large number of existing local exchange operators (ILECs), in-house replacements (IXCs), and new local exchange operators (CLECs). Through a complex legal system, telephone calls are made using the vast network of partner companies' via these various seller networks. In 1984, AT&T was dissolved in the United States by antitrust regulations, forming a network of local telephone companies (ILECs) and long-distance telephone companies (inter-regional exchange operators (IXCs)). After the corner, at the beginning, each local loop was monopolized and operated by a local exchange operator (LEC), typically a regional bell operating company (RB0C) or an independent telephone company such as GTE, including the terminal office ( E〇) The switches 104, 108 operate. The cellular telephone is not included. The local loop is a necessary input for generating long-distance telephone service, and typically the 'long-distance telephone company does not have its own local loop. In the case of communication, the use of this 200826633 exchange brings a fee to generate a call from the originating caller 102 (access origin) or terminate the call from the terminating caller 1 10 (access termination). The termination of the call outside of the RBOC of the originating call requires the use of the IXC's network 106, or the long-distance telephone company that is accessed at the point of occurrence (POP) 132, 134 to carry the call. IXC does not have the benefit of a local loop of local loops to provide ongoing revenue. In fact, competition for long-distance telephone services has become fierce with long-distance telephone service competition for companies such as MCI, AT&T, and Sprint. Use the outgoing network 1 1 4 to set up the call. It is also possible to use a private branch exchange (PBX) 112 to conduct telecommunications exchanges in business. The communication method was passed in 1996, authorizing competition in the local telephone service market, allowing CLEC (see, for example, Figure 104c of Figure 2) to provide local exchange services. Competing with ILEC. This competition has caused more companies to compete for long distance calls. Figure 3 depicts an exemplary Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network environment in which a gateway is used to transmit voice communications over a data network 1 40. In this environment, long-distance telephone companies have found another source of revenue. That is, by selling the telecommunication service, the prepaid long distance call is sold to a third party, that is, a prepaid long distance call service is established. However, the customer user is required to enter a long string of numbers to complete a call, thus making these prepaid services unpromoted. When a customer makes a telephone call, the call is typically sent to the ILEC switch 104, and then by transmitting a series of digits of the PIN, then the telephone number, the transparent or ILEC network and/or the IXC network 106 transmits 200826633, then A facility that may terminate at another ILEC to improve the shortcomings of the conventional method of generating long-distance electric services.

Level 4 Switch If there is an operator, the Level 4 exchange is a long distance call center (T C), otherwise it is a long distance call point (TP), and the access tandem (AT) has a level 4 function. Level 5 Switch Level 5 switches are the lowest level, local central office for end office (EO) or local and long distance calls. This switch is closest to the end user. New LEC (CLEC) CLEC is a telecommunications service provider for local services that compete with ILEC. The third-order communication is an example. CLEC may or may not handle IXC services. The new access provider (CAPS) Telignet and Winstar are examples. Customer Home Facility (CPE) The CPE represents the devices in the customer's home and is used to connect to the telephone network, including general telephones, push-button telephone systems, PBXs, video conferencing equipment, and data planes. Digital Data The digital data represents the analog data sampled as a binary representation (ie, the order containing 0 and 1). Because the digital signal is easy to reproduce the original signal, it is less susceptible to noise and attenuation. The exit end office exit EO is the node or destination E0 that is directly connected to the called party, that is, the end point. “Returning” the called party to the egress 〇 出口 The egress exit represents the connection from the called party or endpoint of the destination endpoint of the network to the Service Line Center (SWC). -31 - 200826633 Table 1 Term Definition End office (EO) E 0 is a level 5 switch for exchanging local calls within the LATA. Connect the LEC user ("send back") to EO, indicating that E 0 is the last switch to connect to the user. Enhanced Service Provider (ESP) Internet Service Providers are equivalent to 1 + dialing, as in the final trial (MFJ) of the amended Regional Bell Operating Company (BROC) that needs to be cut from the parent company, AT&T. In the next case, the US domestic calls to any long distance carrier are used as usual. Global Point of Initiative (GPOP) GPOP represents the location of international telecommunication facilities and domestic facilities interfaces, namely an international gateway POP. The existing LEC ILEC is a traditional LEC in the United States, which is the Regional Bell Operating Company (RB0C). For example, Bayer South and US West. ILEC can also represent an independent LEC, such as GTE. Ingress End Office Entry E0 is the starting point for the node or Service Line Center (SVC) that is directly connected to the caller. Send the caller back to entry E0. The entry entry represents the connection from the caller or originator. The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) line The ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) line provides two-carrier B-channel and 1-data D-line (called "2B + D" on one or two pairs). To the user. The overall service digital network ISDN is a network that provides the effective amount of communication (ISDN) standard (voice, data, and signaling), end-to-end digital transmission circuits, out-of-band signaling, and bandwidth. -32- 200826633 Table 1 Term Definition Inter-machine trunk (IMT) Inter-machine trunk (IMT) is the circuit between two commonly connected switches. Inter-area Exchange Provider (IXC) IXC is a long-distance telephone telecommunications service provider in the United States. AT&T, MCI, Sprint for example. Internet Protocol (IP) IP is part of the TCP/CP protocol. It is used to identify incoming messages, route outgoing messages, and track Internet node addresses (using a number to indicate a TCP/IP host on the Internet). IP corresponds to the network layer of the OSI. Internet Service Provider An ISP is an (ISP) company that provides network access to users. ISDN Raw Rate Interface (PRI) The ISDN Raw Rate Interface (PRI) line provides ISDN equivalent to the T1 circuit. The PRI delivered to the customer's premises provides 23B+D (North America) or 30B + D (Europe) channels at 1.544Mbt and 2.048Mbt per second, respectively. Local Exchange Operator (LEC) LEC is a local telecommunications service provider. Bell Atlantic and US West for example. Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) The area where LATA provides services to LECs. There are more than 160 LATA local geographic regions in the United States. Local Area Network (LAN) LAN is a communication network that provides a connection between a computer and a peripheral device (such as a printer and a data machine) at a relatively short distance (for example, in a building) under standard control. Modification of the final trial (mfj) Modification of the final trial (MFJ) is required by the parent company, AT&T, to cut out the Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC). -33- 200826633 Table 1 Term Definition Network Node The network node is the resource name of the telecommunications network, including switches, DACS, regenerators, etc. A network node basically includes all non-circuit (transport) devices. Other network nodes may include devices such as CLEC, or other enhanced service providers (ESPs), point of presence (POP), international gateways, or global presence points (GPOPs). New entrants New generation of global telecommunications. Next Generation Telephone (NGT) New telecommunications service providers, especially IP telephony providers. Examples are Level3 and Qwest. The voice-separated voice and the voice on the backbone are separated by voice over the Internet (VOIP). Voice over the packet indicates that the voice or voice telecom service is carried over the data network, such as voice through the frame, voice over the ATM, voice over the Internet Protocol (IP), through the virtual private network (VPN), through The voice of the backbone, etc. A dedicated communication facility or dedicated communication facility connects the ISP to the Internet. Point of occurrence (POP) POP indicates the location within the LATA, which is the interface between the IXC and the LEC facility. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual Private Network Protocol, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) can be used to establish a "tunnel" between a remote user and the data network. Tunneling allows network managers to extend virtual private networks (VPNs) from servers (such as Windows NT servers) to network data (such as the Internet). -34- 200826633 Table 1 Term Definition Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) PPP is an agreement that allows a computer to use a modem to establish a connection with the Internet. PPP supports high-quality graphics front ends, such as the Netscape ° Postal Telegraph (PTT) state management telephone company, many of which are currently unmanaged. Take NTT as an example. Private Branch Switch (PBX) The PBX is a dedicated switch located in the user's room. The user is typically a company that wants to provide local exchanges. Dedicated lines with dial tone Dedicated lines are direct channels that are specifically designated for use between customers at two specified points. A dedicated line with dial tone can be connected to the PBX or an ISP to the concentrator to the end office (for example, channelized T1 or PRI). Dedicated lines can also be leased lines. Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) PSTN is a worldwide switched voice network 〇 Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) RBOC is a Bell operating company that provides LEC services after cutting from AT&T. Transmitting System 7 (S S 7) SS7 is a common inter-office messaging (CCIS) type that is widely used throughout the world. The SS7 network provides signaling functions, routing and destination signals, and monitoring line and circuit status to indicate the arrival of the call. -35- 200826633 Table l Terminology _______ Definition Switching class or office class The office classifies the functional arrangement of the call center office switches depending on the transmission requirements and the hierarchical relationship with other switching centers. Before AT&T is cut into RBOC, the office is classified as the number assigned to the office based on the hierarchical function of the US Public Switched Network (PSTN). The following series are used: Level 1 = Regional Center (RC), Level 2 = Segment Center (SC), Level 3 = Main Center (PC), if there is an operator, Level 4 == Long Distance Call Center (TC) Otherwise, it is a long distance point (TP), level 5 = end office (Ε 0), which is the local central office. Any center handles traffic from the lower layer of one to two or more layers. These specifications become looser because of the cutting and intelligent software in the exchange area. The level 5 switch is the closest end user. Technology is a traditional definition of a technology that is closer to the end user, spreading the network switching hierarchy and the switch hierarchy. Telecommunications operators LEC, CLEC, IXC, Power D-Strength Provider (ESP), Smart Peripheral (IP), International/Global Point of Entry (GPOP), ie any telecommunications service provider. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) TCP is an end-to-end protocol that operates at the transmission and talk layer of the OSI and provides the transport of data bits between processes performed in the host computer via the separation and sequencing of IP packets. • 36- 200826633 Table 1 Term Definition Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) TCP/IP is a protocol for communication between interconnected networks. The TCP/IP protocol is widely used in the Internet, which is one of several large networks that are connected by high-speed connections. The trunk connection connects the tandem (AT) to the end office (EO). Wide Area Network (WAN) A WAN is a data network that extends the LAN through the circuitry of a telecommunications carrier. The industry is typically a utility. A bridge switch or router is used to connect the LAN to the WAN. Introduction to Telecommunication Network-Voice Network-Simple Voice Network Figure 1 shows a standard telecommunications network that provides local exchange service provider (LEC) services in one or more local access and transmission areas (LATA). The block diagram to be. The telecommunications network 100 can provide an exchange voice connection from the calling party 102 to the called party 110. Figure 1 is illustrated as including, in addition, a dedicated branch switch 112, which can provide multiple users to the LEC service, e.g., by a dedicated line. The calling party 1〇2 and the called party 1 1〇 can be general telephone devices, push-button telephone systems, private branch switches (PBX) 1 12 , or application software executing on the host computer. Network 1 can be used as a data machine for data connections from caller 102, for example to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) (not shown). The network i 〇 〇 can also be used to access, for example, a private data network. For example, caller 1 〇 2 can be an employee who is operating a remote computer at -37-200826633, which is accessing the employer's private data network via, for example, a dial-up modem connection. Figure 1 includes end offices (EO) 1〇4 and 108. The EO 104 is referred to as the Ingress EO because it provides a connection from the calling party 1〇2 to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) facility. The EO 108 is referred to as the Export EO because it provides a connection from the PSTN facility to the called party. In addition to the ingress EO 104 and the egress EO 108, the PSTN facility associated with the telecommunications network also includes access tandem (AT) (not shown) at points of occurrence (POP) 132 and 134, which may Provided to, for example, one of the long-distance telephone telecommunications services or the majority of the inter-area exchange (IXC) 106 (see Figure 2). Alternatively, the IXC 106 may be, for example, a CLEC or other enhanced service provider (ESP), international gateway or global presence point (GPOP), or smart perimeter (IP), as is known to those skilled in the art. FIG. 1 also includes a dedicated branch exchange (PBX) 112 coupled to E0 104. The PBX 112 has callers 124 and 126, a fax machine 116, a client computer 118 and associated data machine 130, and a regional network 128 having a client computer 120 coupled to the associated data processor 130 and a local area network of the server computer 122. 128. PBX 112 is a specific example of a generic type of telecommunications device located at a user's location, such devices are often referred to as customer premises equipment (CPE). The network 1 also includes a Common Channel Interactive Messaging (CCIS) network for call setup and call cancellation. In particular, Figure 1 includes a messaging system 7 (S S 7 ) signaling network 1 14 . -38- 200826633 Detailed Voice Network Figure 2 is a block diagram of the standard telecommunications network 200 that provides LEC and IXC industry services between users in different LATAs. Telecommunications network 200 is a more detailed version of telecommunications network 100. The calling party 102a and the called party 1 10a are coupled to the EO switches 104a and 108a, respectively. In other words, the caller l〇2a is sent back to the entry EO 104a in the first LATA, and the called party ll〇a is sent back to the exit EO 108a in the second LATA. Calls between users in different LATAs are long-distance telephone calls that are typically routed to the IXC. The US sample IXC includes AT&T, MCI, and Sprint. Telecommunications network 200 includes access tandem (AT) 206 and 208. AT 206 provides connections to points of presence (POP) 132a, 132b, 132c, and 132d. IXC 1 06a, 1 06b and 1 0 6 c are provided between P Ο P 1 3 2 a, 1 3 2 b and 132c (in the first LATA) and POP 134a, 134b and 134c (in the second LATA) connection. The new local exchange provider (CLEC) 214 provides another selected connection between the POP 132d and the POP 134d. The POPs 134a, 134b, 134c, and 134d are then connected to the AT 208, which provides a connection to the egress EO 108a. The called party 110a can receive a call from the EO 108a, 108a being its home EO. Alternatively, as is known to those skilled in the art, the AT 206 can also be, for example, a C L E C or other enhanced service provider (E S P ), an international gateway or global presence point (GPOP), or a smart perimeter. Network 200 also includes caller 102c that is sent back to CLEC switch 104c. Following the US GSM regulations of 1996, CLEC obtained permission -39-200826633 to compete for access in the local RBOC field. RBOC is collectively referred to as the Exchange Operator (ILEC). Network 200 also includes a fixed wireless CLEC 209. The solid CLEC 209 includes a radio frequency transceiver (RF) tower 210 that communicates with the subscriber transceiver RF tower 212. User RF tower 212 is coupled to the CPE box, PBX 112b. PBX 112b coupled calls: and 126b, fax machine 1 16b, client computers 1 18b and associated 130b, and a local area network 128b having client 120b and server computer 122b coupled through associated data machine 130b. The network 200 also includes the called party 1 10 a, the fax machine 1 1 6 e computer 1 18a and the associated data machine 130a, and the cellular communication RF tower associated cellular user called party 204, as shown, EO 108a. The EOs 104a, 108a and the ATs 206, 208 are exchanged layers. The EO 104a is called a 5-level office and the AT 208 is a 3/4-class machine. Prior to the revised final trial, the AT&T cut out of the Regional Corporation (RBOC) prior to the Bureau classification was based on the number assigned to the Bureau of the US Public Road (P S TN). One round depends on the functional ordering of the exchange of transmission requirements with the hierarchical relationship to other switching centers. The level 1 office is called the regional center (RC) high-level office, or the "last game" of the call. The level 2 bureau is called the section SC). The level 3 office is called the main center (P C ). If there is an operator's office called the long-distance call center (TC), otherwise it is a long-distance call). The 5th Bureau is the end office (EO), which is the local central office. The local and existing wireless i RF chains are depicted as the 124b data computer computer i, and the customer 202 is coupled to a part of the office exchange bell operation exchange network. Center, and the most central (the fourth level of the TP long-distance power 40-200826633 exchange of the lowest order and closest to the end user. Any one of the central processing layer of one or more lower center traffic. Because cutting More intelligent software in dealing with, so these designations become looser. The technology has been distributed closer to the end user, and the diffusion network hierarchy and the switch are traditionally defined. The connection to the Internet provider (ISP) is provided. In addition to the voice of the calling party 102a to the called party 110a, the PSTN can provide a data connection from the calling party 102a to the ISP (i.e., similar to the customer). The network 200 can also include an Internet Service Provider (ISP) icon, It may include a server 1 22 coupled to a data network 1 42 , which will be discussed further with reference to Figure 3. The Internet is a worldwide network, including several connected by a data link. These links may include, for example, integrated digital service network (ISDN), T3, FDDI, and SONET links. Alternatively, the Internet may be a private network of multiple LANs and/or WANs such as, for example, an intranet. The ISP can provide Internet access services to users such as the customer 1 18b to establish a connection with the ISP, and the client 118b can use a host computer connected to the modem (modulator/demodulator) 130b. The data machine is from the host computer The data is transferred to the form of the LEC facility as an analogy). Typically, the LEC facility will enter the analog signal into a digital form. In one embodiment, the data is converted to a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) format.

S S 7 Calling Call Flow • 45· 200826633 In order to initiate a call in the SS7 telecommunications network, the calling party of the telephone connected to the ingress switch uses the called party's telephone number. This telephone number is transmitted by telephone to the SSP in the entrance EO of the calling local exchange provider (LEC). First, the SSP can handle triggers and internal routing rules based on the satisfaction of certain criteria. Second, if necessary, the SSP can initiate further signaling to another EO or to an tandem (AT). The outgoing message can be transmitted from the SSP to the STP, which routes the signal between the ingress EO and the end office or the egress EO. The exit EO has the nickname specified for the called party's telephone number. If there is no direct trunk or direct trunk full, the call is set to be a direct connection between the EOs of the tandem switch. If the call is a long distance call, that is, between a caller and a called party in a different access zone (LATA), the call is connected via a crossbar switcher (IXC) switch. Such long distance calls are often referred to as calls between LATAs. LEC and IXC are collectively referred to as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
