Abstract

Compliance with a privacy database and call-specific applications is provided within a network. A service control function (SCF), in communication with a privacy database, selectively establishes a call between an origin and a destination. Based on origin or destination identifiers, call parameters are determined for further operations associated with the call. A server, responsive to the call parameters, performs monitoring of the call or post-call disposition to update the privacy database.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a privacy database configured to store call recording rules associated with a plurality of origins and destinations;

a service control function (SCF) configured to selectively establish a call between an origin and a destination based on status and jurisdiction of at least one of the origin and destination indicated in the privacy database, the SCF further configured to provide parameters for the call based on the call recording rules; and

a server configured, responsive to the parameters, to selectively record the call.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the server is further configured to report an input to update the privacy database.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the privacy database includes an indication of a telephone number to be displayed to a destination.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the SCF, responsive to the indication, controls the server to convey the telephone number to the destination.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the telephone number is conveyed to the destination at a caller ID display.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the telephone number terminates at the server.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the server is further configured, responsive to a call to the server via the telephone number, to establish an additional call to the origin.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the server is further configured to query the privacy database using the telephone number to identify the origin and determine parameters for the additional call.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the server is further configured to selectively record the additional call according to the parameters for the additional call.
