Methods and systems for selecting and implementing digital personas across applications and services
First Claim
1. A method of applying digital personas across multiple communications domains, comprising:
- receiving a request for communications services from a requesting party at a service gateway;
evaluating access preferences for the communication services, the access preferences being defined separately from the request for communication services;
determining whether to maintain an original digital persona representative of the requesting party and asserted by the request or to transfer the request from the service gateway to a persona determination mechanism based on the access preferences;
receiving a new digital persona representative of the requesting party from the persona determination mechanism responsive to the transfer of the request from the service gateway to the persona determination mechanism;
using one of the new digital persona representative of the requesting party and the original digital persona representative of the requesting party to electronically process the communication services; and
providing the communication services to the requesting party over a communication network.

Abstract
A persona determination approach can be utilized to apply digital personas across multiple communications domains. A service gateway can determine whether to transfer a request for communications services to a Persona Determination Mechanism (PDM). The PDM can select a digital persona based on available information and transmit the digital persona to the service gateway. The service gateway can process the communications services based on the selected digital persona or based on the determination not to transfer the request. In some methods, the service gateway can forward the processed request to one or more network elements for further processing. Related systems are also disclosed.

13. A system of applying digital personas across multiple communications domains, comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer readable medium that comprises computer readable program code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising; receiving a request for communications services from a requesting party at a service gateway; evaluating access preferences for the communication services, the access preferences being defined separately from the request for communication services; determining whether to maintain an original digital persona representative of the requesting party and asserted by the request or to transfer the request from the service gateway to a persona determination mechanism based on the access preferences; receiving a new digital persona representative of the requesting party from the persona determination mechanism responsive to the transfer of the request from the service gateway to the persona determination mechanism using one of the new digital persona representative of the requesting party and the original digital persona representative of the requesting party to electronically process the communication services; and providing the communication services to the requesting party over a communication network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
