1. A method for enabling ENUM service for communications directed to a called party short code identifier, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving an ENUM query message that includes a calling party identifier and a called party short code identifier;
(b) performing an ENUM translation to locate least one URI corresponding to the calling party identifier and the called party short code identifier; and
(c) responding to the ENUM query message with the at least one URI.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for enabling short code dialing in an ENUM environment are provided. According to one method, an ENUM query message that includes a calling party identifier and a called party short code identifier is received. An ENUM translation is performed to locate at least one URI corresponding to the calling party identifier and the called party short code identifier. The ENUM query message is responded to with the at least one URI.

8. A system for enabling ENUM service for communications directed to a called party short code identifier, the system comprising:
-
(a) a communications interface for receiving an ENUM query that includes a calling party identifier and a called party short code identifier;
(b) a short code resolution database for mapping the calling party identifier and the called party short code identifier to an E.164 formatted called party identifier; and
(c) a short code resolution function for;
(i) receiving the ENUM query from the communications interface;
(ii) for accessing the short code resolution database using the calling party identifier and called party short code identifier tuple and obtaining an associated E.164 formatted called party identifier; and
(iii) querying an ENUM database using the E.164 formatted called party identifier. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

19. A computer readable medium having stored thereon a short code-adapted ENUM database being accessible by an ENUM translation function to translate short code and calling party identifier combinations into URIs, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
(a) a memory, wherein the memory includes a short code adapted ENUM translation database accessible by an ENUM translation function to translate calling party identifier-called party short code combinations into URIs;
(b) wherein the short-code adapted ENUM translation database includes a plurality of entries, each entry including;
(i) a calling party identifier field;
(ii) a called party short code field; and
(iii) a uniform resource identifier field; and
(c) wherein the calling party identifier and called party short code fields are accessible by the ENUM translation function as indices to locate URIs corresponding to a short code-calling party identifier combination. - View Dependent Claims (20)
