System, method and article of manufacture for cross-location registration in a communication system architecture
First Claim
1. A method for inter-network session control in an integrated packet based and circuit-switched based network, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a subscriber home rules database located on a first network, wherein the database includes subscriber information;
b) allowing a subscriber of the first network access to a second network having a remote session controller;
c) providing the remote session controller a temporary copy of a portion of the subscriber information related to the subscriber;
d) limiting access to the second network based on the subscriber information;
e) transferring data relating to at least one of a service, feature, and information that is available to the subscriber on the first network from first network to the second network;
f) making the data available locally on the second network for the duration of a session;
g) allowing the subscriber to access on the second network the at least one of a service, feature, and information; and
h) eliminating the temporary copy of the subscriber information and the data after a predetermined amount of time.

Abstract
According to a broad aspect of a preferred embodiment of the invention, telephone calls, data and other multimedia information is routed through a hybrid network which includes transfer of information across the internet utilizing telephone routing information and internet protocol address information. The hybrid network includes an intelligent network solution which allows hybrid network service users to maintain the same experience and have access to the same information regardless of where or how they access the network. The solution avoids synchronicity management problems associated with replicating user data over a worldwide network.

8. A system for inter-network session control in an integrated packet based and circuit-switched based network, comprising:
-
a) a first network; b) a subscriber home rules database located on the first network, wherein the database includes subscriber information about a subscriber to the first network; c) a second network having a remote session controller, wherein the session controller is provided with a temporary copy of a portion of the subscriber information related to the subscriber; d) a processor that limits access to the second network based on the subscriber information; i) a processor that transfers data relating to at least one of a service, feature, and information that is available to the subscriber on the first network from the first network to the second network, wherein the data is made available locally on the second network for the duration of a session, wherein the subscriber is allowed to access on the second network that at least one of a service, feature, and information; and e) a processor that eliminates the temporary copy of the subscriber information after a predetermined amount of time. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
