Method and system for provisioning telecommunications services
First Claim
1. A method of provisioning telecommunications services, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first provisioning command from a user having a first set of provisioning information, the provisioning command having a generic provisioning protocol;
transmitting the first set of provisioning information in the generic provisioning protocol to a telephony database to provision the telephony database;
modifying the telephony database to produce a modified database;
receiving a second provisioning command from a user having a second set of provisioning information, the second provisioning command having the generic provisioning protocol;
transmitting the second set of provisioning information in the generic provisioning protocol to the telephony database to provision the modified database; and
wherein receiving the first provisioning command and the second provisioning command with the generic provisioning protocol allows provisioning the telephony database and the modified database without modifying the generic provisioning protocol.

Abstract
A method of provisioning telecommunications services includes receiving a first provisioning command comprising a first set of provisioning information. The provisioning command is received according to a generic provisioning protocol. The method also includes transmitting the first set of provisioning information to a telephony database to provision the telephony database. The method also includes modifying the telephony database to produce a modified database and receiving a second provisioning command comprising a second set of provisioning information. The second provisioning command is received according to the generic provisioning protocol. The method further includes transmitting the second set of provisioning information to the telephony database to provision the modified database. Receiving the first provision command and the second provisioning command according to the generic provisioning protocol allows provisioning of the telephony database and the modified database without modifying the generic provisioning protocol.

8. A method of provisioning telecommunications services, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing, in a telecommunications network, a generic provisioning unit operable to receive provisioning commands according to a generic provisioning protocol; receiving, at the generic provisioning unit, a first provisioning command from a user having a first set of provisioning information, the provisioning command having the generic provisioning protocol; transmitting the first set of provisioning information in the generic provisioning protocol to a telephony database to provision the database; modifying the telephony database to produce a modified database; receiving, at the generic provisioning unit, a second provisioning command from a user having a second set of provisioning information, the second provisioning command having the generic provisioning protocol; transmitting the second set of provisioning information in the generic provisioning protocol to the modified database to provision the database; and wherein receiving the first provisioning command and the second provisioning command with the generic provisioning protocol allows provisioning of the modified database without modifying the generic provisioning protocol. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A telecommunications system comprising:
-
a user; a plurality of service switching point systems; a plurality of service transfer point systems in selective communication with the plurality of service switching point systems; a plurality of service control point systems connected to the service transfer point systems and connected to the user, at least one of the service control point systems comprising; a database for storing information associated with telephony services, the database comprising a plurality of tables, the tables each having a table structure; and a generic provisioning unit in communication with the database, the generic provisioning unit operable to receive provisioning commands generated by the user, the provisioning commands for provisioning the database, the provisioning commands having a generic protocol with a format sufficient to allow provisioning of the database after modification of the database without modification of the generic protocol, the generic provisioning unit operable to provide the provisioning commands to the database in the generic protocol; and a service management system connected to the plurality of service control points and connected to the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
