Intelligent network services in packet-switched network
First Claim
1. A method for providing a packet-switched network user with a service via the intelligent network, the method comprising:
- receiving the network registration of a user in the packet network;
establishing a session for routing functionality of packets originating from and terminating at the user;
forming for the session a control record by, which event management is controlled during the session and which has a functional connection to at least one service control function of an intelligent network service; and
defining at least one of the session events as an intelligent network event to the control record, the encounter of which causes the use of intelligent network control principles.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a network node for providing a packet-switched network user with a service via the intelligent network. In the packet network, a session is established for routing functionality of packets originating from and terminating at the user when the user registers to the network. To implement the services according to the intelligent network principles, a control record (SR) for the session is added to the packet network node(s) which control record recognises the events which trigger the connection to the intelligent network. Alternatively, the control record can be formed when the user activates the Packet Data Protocol PDP context.

16. A method for providing a packet-switched network user with a service via the intelligent network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
activating a packet data protocol context to convey data packets, forming for the packet data protocol context a control record, by which the event management of the packet data protocol context is controlled, which control record can be modelled by a state model and which has a functional connection to at least one service control function of an intelligent network service, and by defining at least one of the packet data protocol context events as an intelligent network event to the control record, which event causes the use of intelligent network control principles. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A packet network node comprising
an application part to establish and maintain a session for routing functionality of the packets originating from and terminating at a user; - the application part being arranged to form a control record for the session in such a manner that at least one of the session events is defined in the control record as an intelligent network event, the encounter of which causes the use of intelligent network control principles, and to use the intelligent network control principles in response to the encounter with the intelligent network event;
session management means for detecting the encounter with the intelligent network event; and
a connection part to transfer packets, to set up a connection to the packet network; and
to convey messages between the intelligent network and the application part. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
