System and method for remote assembly of messages to create a control message
First Claim
1. A system for remote assembly of messages to create a control message, comprising:
- a shared data storage for assembly of said messages; and
a plurality of components for performing predefined actions and for exchanging said messages according to a predefined ontology, said plurality of components including a first component for directing other ones of said components to publish information on said shared data storage and in response gather several distinct pieces of said information and assemble said distinct pieces as said control message by which to control the actions of said first component.

Abstract
A system for remote assembly of messages to create a control message includes a shared coordination space for assembly of messages, and a plurality of components for performing predefined actions and for exchanging messages according to a predetermined ontology. The plurality of components includes a first component for directing other ones of the components to publish information on the coordination space and in response gather several distinct pieces of the information and assemble the distinct pieces as a message by which to control the actions of the component. According to a preferred embodiment, the shared coordination space is a tuple space, one of the components is a call control application for controlling a communication switch, and at least one other component is a directory application containing location information.

10. A method of synchronizing a call control request to a communication switch with location data from a directory application using a tuple space, comprising:
-
user initiation of a request for use of a location-based feature from a call control application; receiving caller identification at said call control application and in response sending said request for use of a location-based feature and caller identification to said communication switch; registering said request for use of a location-based feature at said communication switch by publishing an anti-tuple to said tuple space that includes said caller identification; user selection of said location data from said directory application; publishing a tuple to said tuple space that includes said location data from said directory application and said caller identification; and matching said tuple with said anti-tuple within said tuple space; and assembling a control message based on said caller identification and said location data, causing said communication switch to execute the location-based feature requested by the user.

11. A method of synchronizing a call control request to a communication switch with location data from a directory application using a tuple space, comprising:
-
user initiation of a request for use of a location-based feature from a call control application; registering said request for use of a location-based feature by publishing an anti-tuple to said tuple space; user selection of said location data from said directory application; publishing a tuple to said tuple space that includes said location data from said directory application; and matching said tuple with said anti-tuple within said tuple space; and
assembling a control message based on said request and said location data, causing said communication switch to execute the location-based feature requested by the user.
