Abstract

A system that automatically delivers telephony network services from a dual mode service technology platform to an external entity. The system includes a sensing component that detects the presence of a mobile handset registered on a cellular network, and registers the mobile handset with a wireless access network. Further, a provisioning component identifies calls to subscribers that are provisioned for the requested telephony network service. Once the calls are identified, the provisioning component extracts the requested data from the incoming calls and routes the data to an external entity for display.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

identifying, by a system including a processor, a communication from a wireless communication device that is directed to a subscriber of a telephony network service, wherein the wireless communication device is registered with a wireless access network and associated with a cellular network;

extracting, by the system, text from a call-setup message that is associated with the communication;

receiving, by the system, a session initiation protocol message that includes the text; and

routing, by the system, the session initiation protocol message directed to an internet protocol television device to facilitate display of the text by the internet protocol television device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the extracting further includes extracting an identifier representing a name of a user of the wireless communication device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the extracting further includes extracting the text from a text message.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the extracting further includes extracting a telephone number that is associated with a telephone call.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the routing further includes routing the text to a proxy based device that is communicatively coupled to the wireless communications device.

6. A system, comprising:

a memory to store computer-executable instructions; and

a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions to perform operations, comprising;

identifying a communication that is directed to a subscriber of a telephony network service via a first device of a cellular network and a second device of a wireless access network;

extracting text from a setup message that is associated with the communication;

receiving a session initiation protocol message including the text; and

sending the session initiation protocol message including the text directed to an internet protocol television based device to facilitate display of the text by the internet protocol television based device.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the text includes an identifier representing a name of a user of a device that initiated the communication.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the text is associated with a text message.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the text includes a telephone number that is associated with the communication.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the extracting further comprises extracting the text using a generic access network controller.

11. The system of claim 6, wherein the extracting further comprises extracting the text using an internet protocol multimedia subsystem based server.

12. The system of claim 6, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving the communication from a computing device that is communicatively coupled to a set-top box associated with the internet protocol television based device.

13. The system of claim 6, wherein the operations further comprise sending the text directed to a proxy based device.

14. The system of claim 6, wherein the wireless access network is a Bluetooth network.

15. The system of claim 6, wherein the telephony network service is a caller line identification service.

16. The system of claim 6, wherein the telephony network service is an instant messaging service.

17. The system of claim 6, wherein the telephony network service is an email service.

18. A tangible computer-readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computing system including a processor to perform operations, comprising:

identifying a communication from a communication device that is directed to a subscriber of a telephony network service, wherein the communication device is registered on a wireless access network and associated with a cellular network;

identifying text included in a call setup message associated with the communication,

receiving a session initiation protocol message including the text; and

sending the session initiation protocol message including the text directed to an internet protocol television based device for display of the text by the internet protocol television based device.

19. The tangible computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the identifying the text further includes extracting an identifier representing a name of a user associated with the communication device.

20. The tangible computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the identifying the text further includes extracting the text from a short message service message.
