Method and system for transmitting subscriber-specific information in a telecommunication system
First Claim
1. In a method for transmitting subscriber-specific information in a telecommunication system that includes a telecommunication network, a conversion/transmission center connected to the telecommunication network, a first telecommunication terminal having an associated A-number and connected to the conversion/transmission center through the telecommunication network, a second telecommunication terminal connected to the conversion/transmission center through the telecommunication network, and an actuating device connected to the second telecommunication terminal, wherein connection-specific information is transmitted from the first telecommunication terminal to the second telecommunication terminal to effect a call from the first telecommunication terminal, and subscriber-specific optional parameters are added to a dialing string sent to the conversion/transmission center from the first telecommunication terminal to initiate the call, the improvement comprising the steps of:
- modifying an A-number field to be transmitted from the conversion/transmission center to the second telecommunication terminal in connection with the call by one of adding control information to the A-number field and replacing the A-number field with the control information; and
controlling the actuating device in accordance with the control information contained in the modified A-number field.

Abstract
The inventive method and system enable an increase in the amount of information that may be transmitted from a call-initiating first telecommunication terminal to an automated application or device or machine or the like in conjunction with the call request. The content of the A-number field to be transmitted from a conversion/transmission center to a destination second telecommunication terminal is modified by adding control information to the A-number field. This control information is used to control an actuating device that is connected to the second telecommunication terminal and which operates or forms a part of the automated application or device or machine.
