System and method for indicating call priority
First Claim
1. A method for providing a telecommunication transmission associated with a request for a voice communication session from an originating device to a terminating device over a telecommunications network comprising:
- receiving a bit code over the telecommunication network, wherein the bit code is extracted from the telecommunication transmission associated with the request for the voice communication session, the bit code indicating a priority level of the telecommunication transmission;
receiving a directory number associated with the originating device of the telecommunication transmission and the request for the voice communication session;
determining a predefined message from a plurality of predefined messages defined for a caller group corresponding to the directory number based at least on said directory number and said bit code, the predefined message comprising a priority indicator for the telecommunication transmission associated with the request for the voice communication session; and
displaying said predefined message on the terminating device,wherein said bit code is embedded in spare bits of said telecommunication transmission.

Abstract
System and method for providing a telecommunication transmission from an originating device to a terminating device over a telecommunications network. In one embodiment a bit code may be received from the telecommunication network, such that the bit code is extracted from the telecommunication transmission from the originating device. A directory number associated with the originating source may be received and a predefined message may be determined based at least on the directory number and bit code. The predefined message may be displayed on the terminating device.
