1. For use in connection with customer premise equipment (CPE) deployed to handle telecommunications calls exchanged with a switched telecommunications network of the type having a signaling system and a network service logic provider operative to perform network service logic programs to facilitate the provision of telecommunications services, a system for integrating and coordinating operations in support of the calls, comprising:

  • (a) a CPE service logic provider operative to perform CPE service logic programs and to provide results from the performance of any one of said CPE service logic programs in a CPE response signal;

    (b) a CPE call control means for processing the telecommunications calls within the CPE and operative in processing each call to (i) detect at least one CPE processing condition that requires performance of one of said service logic programs in order to continue processing for the call, and to (ii) generate a CPE request signal calling for performance of said service logic program;

    (c) a CPE signaling system by which signals are conveyed within the CPE; and

    (d) a signaling interface for compatibly interconnecting the CPE signaling system with the signaling system of the switched telecommunications network;

    whereby (i) if the required service logic program for the call being processed is to be performed in the CPE service logic provider, then the CPE request signal is directed to the CPE service logic provider, and (ii) if the required service logic program for the call being processed is to be performed in the network service logic provider, then the CPE request signal is directed to the network service logic provider.
