Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the provision of a user interactive dialogue UID prior to connection acceptance service for telecommunication terminals in a communication network, wherein a media gateway controller forms a service switching point SSP. Parameters and signaling information necessary for controlling the UID prior to connection acceptance service are transmitted by conversion to the session initiation protocol SIP or are transmitted there from in a standard signaling protocol.

Claims

1-9. -9. (canceled)

10. A method of providing a User Interactive Dialog (UID) service prior to call/connection acceptance for telecommunications terminals in a communications network, comprising:

providing a control element that receives messages from the communications network;

converting a signaling message and parameters required for service control from a standard signaling protocol into a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to form a SIP message, the service control controlling the UID prior to call/connection acceptance; and

transmitting the SIP message.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the control element includes a Service Switching Point.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the control element is a Media Gateway Controller or an Application server.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the standard signaling protocol is based on a protocol selected from the group consisting of Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC), Integrated Services Digital Network User Part (ISUP), and ISUP+.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the parameters and messages required for service control are mapped into a Session Description Protocol (SDP) part of the SIP message.

15. The method according the claims 14, wherein the parameters and messages required for service control are converted from ISUP or BICC to SIP and/or SDP in accordance with the following table:

ISUP/BICC SIP IAM INVITE UID capability;

through connect with SDP attribute;

sendrecv possible ACM, CPG Provisional Response 183 UID action indicator;

with SDP attribute;

sendrecv through connect in both directions

16. The method according to claim 14, wherein the parameters and messages required for service control are converted from an Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP) to SIP and/or SDP in accordance with the following table:

INAP SIP ConnectToResources Provisional Response 183 serviceInteractionIndicatorsTwo;

with SDP attribute;

sendrecv through connect indicator = required

17. The method according to claim 14, wherein after the UID has been conducted, the call is directed to another addressed destination.

18. A method of providing a User Interactive Dialog (UID) service prior to call/connection acceptance for telecommunications terminals in a communications network, comprising:

providing a control element that receives messages from the communications network;

converting a signaling message and parameters required for service control from a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)/and or Session Description Protocol (SDP) into a standard signaling protocol message, the service control controlling the UID prior to call/connection acceptance; and

transmitting the standard signaling protocol message.

19. The method according to claim 18, wherein the control element includes a Service Switching Point.

20. The method according to claim 19, wherein the control element is a Media Gateway Controller or an Application server.

21. The method according to claim 20, wherein the standard signaling protocol is based on a protocol selected from the group consisting of Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC), Integrated Services Digital Network User Part (ISUP), and ISUP+.

22. The method according to claim 21, wherein the parameters and messages required for service control are mapped into a Session Description Protocol (SDP) part of the SIP message.

23. The method according the claims 22, wherein the parameters and messages required for service control are converted from SIP and/or SDP to ISUP or BICC in accordance with the following table:

SIP ISUP/BICC INVITE IAM with SDP attribute;

sendrecv UID capability;

through connect possible Provisional Response 183 ACM, CPG with SDP attribute;

sendrecv UID action indicator;

through connect in both directions

24. The method according to claim 22, wherein the parameters and messages required for service control are converted from SIP and/or SDP to an Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP) in accordance with the following table:

SIP INAP Provisional Response 183 ConnectToResources with SDP attribute;

sendrecv serviceInteractionIndicatorsTwo;

through connect indicator = required

25. The method according to claim 22, wherein after the UID has been conducted, the call is directed to another addressed destination.
