System and method for processing a plurality of requests for a plurality of multi-media services
First Claim
1. A method of processing a multi-media service request, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a request message in a third format and processing the request message in the third format at the processor for generating a media server instruction message in the third format, wherein a gateway controller has received the request message in a first format for a multi-media service and translated the request message in the first format into a request message in a second format, and wherein a switching device has received the request message in the second format and translated the request message in the second format into the request message in the third format; and
transmitting, by the processor, the media server instruction message in the third format to the switching device for enabling the switching device to translate the media server instruction message into the second format, and to forward the media server instruction message in the second format to the gateway controller for enabling the gateway controller to map an attribute of the media server instruction message in the second format into a media server instruction message in a fourth format, where the media server instruction message in the fourth format is destined to a media server for forming a multi-media communication path with a communication device at a customer premises.

Abstract
A system and method for processing a plurality of requests for a plurality of multi-media services received at a Private Service Exchange (PSX) defined on the system from a plurality of IP-communication devices. The system further includes a media server (MS) coupled to the PSX and to at least one IP Service Control Point (IP-SCP), which is operative to process the plurality of requests for the plurality of multi-media services. The IP-SCP further selectively directs the requests to the media server, which operates to form a preliminary multi-media communication path with a calling communication device. The MS further operates to play a plurality of announcements to the calling communication device over the preliminary multi-media communication path, as well as to collect caller-entered data from the calling communication device over the preliminary multi-media communication path.

13. An apparatus for processing a multi-media service request, comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising; receiving a request message in a third format and processing the request message in the third format for generating a media server instruction message in the third format, wherein a gateway controller has received the request message in a first format for a multi-media service and translated the request message in the first format into a request message in a second format, and wherein a switching device has received the request message in the second format and translated the request message in the second format into the request message in the third format; and transmitting the media server instruction message in the third format to the switching device for enabling the switching device to translate the media server instruction message into the second format, and to forward the media server instruction message in the second format to the gateway controller for enabling the gateway controller to map an attribute of the media server instruction message in the second format into a media server instruction message in a fourth format, where the media server instruction message in the fourth format is destined to a media server for forming a multi-media communication path with a communication device at a customer premises. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
