1. In an advanced intelligent network (AIN) comprising an intelligent peripheral (IP) for communicating with an end user, a service control point (SCP) for managing call processing resources associated with a telephone call, a first data path permitting communication between the IP and the SCP through a service switching point (SSP), and a second data path between the IP and the SCP bypassing the SSP, a method of processing telephone calls comprising the steps of:

  • detecting an AIN trigger;

    the SSP sending a request for call processing instructions to the SCP;

    establishing direct communication between the SCP and IP over the second data path; and

    coordinating use of a first interface over the first data path with use of a second interface over the second data path, wherein the SCP exchanges information with the IP over the first and second data paths; and

    the SCP maintaining communication with the SSP to control disposition of the telephone call after IP interaction with the telephone call.
