Method and system for processing calls wherein the display of calling party ID information has been inhibited
First Claim
1. For use in an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) having at least one Service Switching Point (SSP) in electrical communication with a Service Control Point (SCP) or Adjunct Processor (AP) via an appropriate signalling link, said SCP/AP having corresponding service logic, a method for detecting and processing calls from a calling party to a subscribing called party wherein the display of calling party ID information is unavailable or has been inhibited, comprising:
- detecting an AIN Termination Attempt trigger at said SSP when attempting to terminate a call from said calling party to said subscribing called party;
suspending normal call processing at said SSP upon detection of said AIN Termination Attempt trigger;
generating an AIN Termination Attempt message at said SSP for receipt by said SCP/AP, said AIN Termination Attempt message requesting further call processing instructions;
determining at said SCP/AP whether said calling party ID information has been inhibited; and
if said calling party ID information has been inhibited, generating a predetermined response message at said SCP/AP for receipt by said SSP instructing said SSP to intercept said call, play a selected terminating announcement or request said calling party to display its ID information and perform further call processing.

Abstract
A method and system directed for use in an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) for detecting and processing calls from a calling party to a subscribing called party wherein the display of calling party ID information has been inhibited. The Advanced Intelligent Network includes at least one Service Switching Point (SSP) in electrical communication with a Service Control Point (SCP) or Adjunct Processor (AP) via an appropriate signaling link and having corresponding service logic. The system and method are operative to detect an AIN termination attempt trigger at the SSP, suspend normal call processing, and generate an AIN termination attempt message at the SSP for receipt by the SCP/AP requesting further call processing instructions. If it is determined that calling party ID information has been inhibited, a response message is generated at the SCP/AP for receipt by the SSP instructing the SSP to intercept the call, play a selected terminating announcement or request the calling party to display its ID information so as to perform further call processing.

6. For use in an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) having at least one Service Node (SN) having corresponding service logic, a method for detecting and processing calls from a calling party to a subscribing called party wherein the display of calling party ID information has been inhibited, comprising:
-
detecting an AIN Termination Attempt trigger at said SN when attempting to terminate a call to said subscribing called party; suspending normal call processing at said SN upon detection of said AIN Termination Attempt trigger; determining at said SN whether said calling party ID information has been inhibited; and if said calling party ID information has been inhibited, intercepting said call, playing a selected terminating announcement or requesting said calling party to display its ID information and perform further call processing at said SN.

7. For use in an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN), a system for detecting and processing calls from a calling party to a subscribing called party wherein the display of calling party ID information has been inhibited, comprising:
-
a Service Switching Point (SSP) in electrical communication with said subscribing called party and said calling party for suspending normal call processing and generating a corresponding AIN Termination Attempt message upon detection of an AIN Termination Attempt trigger; a Service Control Point (SCP) or Adjunct Processor (AP) in electrical communication with said SSP for receiving said AIN Termination Attempt message, determining whether said calling party ID information has been inhibited and generating a response message at said SCP/AP for receipt by said SSP instructing said SSP to intercept said call, play a selected terminating announcement or request said calling party to display its ID information and perform further call processing.
