Method and system for connecting subscribers participating in several telecommunication networks under one telephone number
First Claim
1. A method for connecting subscribers in a plurality of telecommunication networks under one dial number, wherein at least one of the telecommunication networks is a mobile radio communication network and at least one additional telecommunication network is a digital intelligent wireline network, comprising the steps ofstoring and administering the subscriber data in a home database (HDB) of at least one of the telecommunication networks;
- andmaking the subscriber data available to the other telecommunication networks upon request, and wherein the home database (HDB) assumes the tasks of a home location register (HLR) and an intelligent network system (INS);
wherein the home location register (HLR) and the intelligent network system (INS) are not coupled with each other and assume separate functions.
