Apparatus and method for recording call related data
First Claim
1. A method for producing a record of calls to a subscriber in an advanced intelligent network, said advanced intelligent network comprising a two-way communication network interconnecting a plurality of service switching points in a plurality of dispersed network locations, said service switching points selectively establishing a communication connection between at least two of said network locations in response to a call request from a calling party, and a service control point comprising a called party call processing record including service logic to initiate recording of incoming call data in response to the call request from the calling party to establish communication with said subscriber, said method comprising:
- collecting and recording call data at said service control point in response to said call request from said calling party to establish communication with said subscriber, said call data comprising a calling party number of said calling party and a terminating number of said subscriber;
accumulating and storing said call data according to a plurality of selectable report formats, said plurality of selectable report formats being enabled by service enabling data and including a total number of calls based on a demographic code representing demographic data associated with said calling party; and
thereafter, periodically producing a caller data service report based on said call data accumulated and stored according to said demographic code and said plurality of selectable report formats.
