Patent Images
1. An international called number processing method, for controlling international call network routing comprising:
- maintaining a database for mapping an international called number onto a regional administrative code;
including;
generating from the database a global switch address number which has appended to it the regional administrative code for defining a path from a local switch address to a destination switch address, with the path being a single defined network path of a specific provision company; and
generating the regional administrative code by concatenation of the destination switch address number and the local switch address number.

Abstract
A called number processing system transforms called/dialed telephone numbers into a unique global routing number. In the process called numbers are analyzed and based on the called/dialed number a Regional Administration Code is allocated and the dialed global number is translated into a global subscriber number. The global subscriber number is translated into a local subscriber number at the last international processing point.

4. A method of mapping a dialed global number onto a regional administrative code for the purpose of controlling routing of the call through a selected network path, comprising the steps of:
-
appending the regional administrative code to the dialed global number; and controlling a destination switch of a country and a local switch of a terminating subscriber in accord with the regional administrative code to direct call routing through a specific network; and generating the regional administrative code by concatenation of the destination switch address number and the local switch address number. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
