Service control device and method
First Claim
1. A method with respect to a control point of a communication network for activating and controlling a service execution, said method comprising:
- loading a service script for a user in response to the receipt of an incoming message, wherein the service script includes a service description and triggering information, and wherein the service description provides information about an external service execution environment and a service logic repository server;
determining if a service is to be triggered based on a comparison of said incoming message with said triggering information;
sending a request for service invocation if the result of said determining is positive; and
activating and controlling the service in the external service execution environment indicated in the service description using a service logic provided by the service logic repository server.

Abstract
The invention relates to a service control device and method for controlling service execution in a communication network. A service script for a user is loaded in response to the receipt of an incoming message, and it is checked based on a comparison of the loaded service script and the incoming message whether a service is to be triggered. If a service triggering has been determined, a service is activated in an external service execution environment. Due to the fact that the service execution is not performed in the service control point but in an external service execution environment, the service logic does not have to be provided at the service control point. It provides a flexible way to define, execute, and control user-specific, operator, and third party services combining various service capabilities.
