METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR APPLYING MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES TO A CALL
First Claim
1. A method for applying at least one service to a call in a communications system, the method comprising:
- receiving a signaling message associated with a call at one of a plurality of service dispatch and control (SDC) functions, wherein the call signaling message includes a subscriber identifier;
determining a plurality of call services associated with the subscriber identifier that is to be applied to the call; and
communicating at least a portion of the signaling message from the SDC function to a service platform and receiving a response back at the SDC function for each of the plurality of call services and thereby sequentially applying the call services to the call.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing an enriched messaging service in a communications system is described. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a signaling message associated with a call at one of a plurality of service dispatch and control (SDC) functions, wherein the call signaling message includes a subscriber identifier. A plurality of call services associated with the subscriber identifier that is to be applied to the call is determined. The method also includes communicating the signaling message from the SDC function to a service platform and receiving back at the SDC function for each of the plurality of call services and thereby sequentially applying the call services to the call.
