Abstract

A method for invoking the service in the intelligent network includes realizing the communication between the different service control points in the intelligent network and providing various intelligent service to the users by the cooperation between the communicating service control points according to the service request information of the user. The method for invoking the service in the intelligent network of the present invention enables the process of invoking the intelligent service to have better application and extensibility. The process of various service invoking needn'"'"'t limit to the service control point of the same manufacture.

Claims

1. A method for invoking services in an Intelligent Network, comprising:

receiving, by a first service control point, service request information transmitted by a service switching point, wherein the service request information contains information about a first service and a second service requested by a user, the first service control point is capable of invoking a service;

providing, by the first service control point, the first service;

determining, by the first service control point, a second service control point corresponding to the second service according to the service request information, and invoking the second service control point to provide the second service.

2. The method for invoking services in the Intelligent Network according to claim 1, further comprising:

storing, by the first service control point, a correspondence between the service control points and intelligent services, and

querying, by the first service control point, the correspondence according to the service request information of the user to determine the second service control point corresponding to the second service.

3. The method for invoking services in the Intelligent Network according to claim 1, wherein the invoking of the second service control point comprises:

modifying, by the first service control point, an Initial Detect Point message containing the service request information, and transmitting the modified Initial Detect Point message to the second service control point.

4. The method for invoking services in the Intelligent Network according to claim 3, wherein the second service control point is capable of invoking a service, and the second service control point determines and invokes the other service control points capable of providing the other services corresponding to the other requested services.

5. The method for invoking services in the Intelligent Network according to claim 3, wherein the first service control point modifies the address of the first service control point contained in the Initial Detect Point message to the address of the second service control point.

6. The method for invoking services in the Intelligent Network according to claim 1, further comprising:

reporting, by the service switching point, a hang-up event to the first service control point when detecting that the user hangs up;

transmitting, by the first service control point, the hang-up event to the second service control point and responding to a signaling fed back from the second service control point; and

issuing, by the first service control point, an instruction to release the call.

7. A system for invoking services, comprising a service switching point, a first service control point and a second service control point, wherein

the service switching point is capable of transmitting service request information containing information about a first service and a second service to the first service control point;

and

the first service control point is capable of receiving the service request information transmitted by the service switching point, providing the first service, determining a second service control point capable of providing the second service, and invoking the second service control point according to the service request information;

the second service control point being capable of providing the second service in response to the invocation by the first service control point.

8. The system for invoking services according to claim 7, wherein the first service control points is further capable of storing a correspondence between service control points and intelligent services, and querying the correspondence according to the service request information of the user to determine the second service control point corresponding to the second service.

9. The system for invoking services according to claim 7, wherein the service switching point is further capable of reporting a hang-up event to the first service control point when detecting that the user hangs up, and

the first service control point is further capable of transmitting the hang-up event to the second service control point, responding to a signaling fed back from the second service control point, and issuing an instruction to release the call.

10. A service control point for invoking services, comprising:

a unit capable of receiving service request information transmitted by a service switching point, wherein the service request information contains information about a first service and a second service requested by a user;

a service processing unit capable of providing the first service;

a determining unit capable of determining a second service control point corresponding to the second service according to the service request information; and

an invoking unit capable of invoking the second service control point to provide the second service according to the service request information.

11. The service control point according to claim 10, further comprising:

a call release instructing unit capable of transmitting a hang-up event reported by the service switching point to the second service control point, responding to a signaling fed back from the second service control point, and issuing an instruction to release the call.
