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 comprising a processor, a communication associated with a telecommunications service and directed to a wireless device;

in response to determining that a wireless signal of the wireless device has been detected by a detection device corresponding to an internet protocol television device, determining whether the wireless device corresponds to subscription data representing a subscription of the telecommunications service;

in response to determining that the wireless device corresponds to the subscription data, extracting, by the system, information from a set-up message comprising set-up information that facilitates a set-up process associated with the subscription; and

sending, by the system, a session initiation protocol message comprising the information directed to the internet protocol television device to facilitate display of the information by the internet protocol television device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information comprises text comprising an identifier representing a subscriber of a wireless communications service.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information comprises text comprising an identifier representing a source of the communication.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sending comprises routing text to a proxy based device that is communicatively coupled to the wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication comprises a telephone call.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication comprises a short message service message.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication comprises an electronic mail.

8. A system, comprising:

a memory that stores executable instructions; and

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

identifying a communication that is associated with a telecommunications service and directed to a wireless device;

in response to determining that a sensing device associated with an internet protocol television based device has detected a wireless signal of the wireless device, determining whether the wireless device has been associated with subscription information representing a subscription to the telecommunications service;

in response to determining that the wireless device has been associated with the subscription information, extracting information from a setup message corresponding to the subscription, wherein the setup message comprises setup information that facilitates a setup process associated with the subscription; and

sending a session initiation protocol message comprising the information to the internet protocol television based device to facilitate display of the information by the internet protocol television based device.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the information comprises text comprising an identifier representing a name of a user associated with a device that initiated the communication.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the information comprises text comprising a telephone number that is associated with the communication.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the communication comprises a short message service message.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the extracting comprises extracting the information using a generic access network controller device.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the extracting comprises extracting the information using an internet protocol based device.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving the communication from a computing device that is communicatively coupled to a set-top box device.

15. The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise:

sending the information directed to a proxy based device.

16. A computer-readable storage device comprising computer executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computing system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

identifying a communication of a telecommunications service that is directed to a wireless device;

in response to determining that a wireless signal of the wireless device has been detected by a sensing device associated with an internet protocol television based device, determining whether the wireless device is associated with subscription information representing a subscription of the telecommunications service;

in response to the wireless device being determined to be associated with the subscription information, extracting information from a setup message comprising setup information that facilitates a setup process that is associated with the subscription; and

sending a session initiation protocol message comprising the information directed to the internet protocol television based device for display of the information by the internet protocol television based device.

17. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the information comprises text comprising an identifier representing a name of a user associated with an initiation of the communication.

18. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the extracting the information comprises extracting text from a short message service message.

19. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the identifying the information comprises extracting text from an electronic mail.

20. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the communication comprises a telephone call.
