- Telecommunication systems provide services and processmg for telecommunication calls between communication devices Each call has call signaling and user communications
- the user communications contam the caller's information, such as a voice communication or data communication, and they are communicated over a connection
- Call signaling contains information that facilitates call processing, and it is communicated over a link
- Call signaling for example, contams information describing the called number and the calling number
- Examples of call signaling are standardized signaling, such as SS7, C7, integrated services data network (ISDN), and digital private network signaling system (DPNSS), which are based on ITU recommendation Q 933
- a call can be transmitted from a communication device
- a communication device can be, for example, customer premises equipment, a call processmg platform, a switch, or any other device capable of initiating, handling, or terminating a call
- Customer premises equipment can be, for example, a telephone, a computer, a facsimile machine, or a private branch exchange
- a call processing platform can be, for example, a service platform or any other enhanced platform that is capable of processing calls
- Enhanced services may be required during call setup for call routing and call signaling processing.
- Such enhanced services are provided by service providers such as service platforms.
- the service platforms are used to provide interactive applications with communication devices via voice commands, tones, or in-band protocols such as facsimile protocols.
- the calls are connected to the service platform through a port on the service platform. Once a service platform interacts with the communication devices and obtains the information needed to complete the call routing or processing, the service platform typically is released from the call, and the port can be used to connect to another call.
- the signaling processor 112 accepts call signaling or control messages from, or transmits call signaling or control messages to, other elements or devices in the telecommunication system 102.
- the signaling processor 112 thereby controls call routing and call processing in the telecommunication system 102.
- One embodiment of the signaling processor 112 is discussed in more detail below.
- the control message from the signaling processor 112 designates a selected connection between the first communication device 106 over its connection 124 and the second communication device 108 over its connection 126 Alternatively, the control message designates a selected connection between the first communication device 106 over its connection 124 and the third communication device 110 over its connection 128 Both of the connections are connected at the mterworkmg unit 114
- a selected connection is designated by a selected VPI/VCI for ATM formatted communications, or a selected DSO for TDM communications
- the mterworkmg unit 114 interworks the user communications between the devices over the selected connection
- user communications can be converted between ATM VPI VCIs and TDM DSOs
- user communications are mapped dynamically from selected VPI/VCIs to selected DSOs
- user communications are mapped dynamically from selected DSOs to selected VPI/VCIs

- a processor card can be installed in the interworking unit 1 14 to detect the call trigger
- the interworking unit 114 can be configured to detect a call trigger, but to only accept and process call trigger data that is within a subset of call trigger data. In this instance, the interworking unit 114 completes call validation and screening. In this third option, the interworking unit 114 could, for example, only accept call trigger data that is a tone "3" or a tone "*" and transmit the call trigger data to the signaling processor 112 if the call trigger is valid.
- the signaling processor 112 processes the call signaling.
- the signaling processor 112 reads the call characteristics such as the routing label, including the origination point code (OPC), the destination point code (DPC), the circuit identification code (CIC), or the signaling link selection (SLS). Based on the processing of the call characteristics in the call signaling, the signaling processor 112 determines what action is to be taken. Presently, the signaling processor 112 determines which communication device 108 or 110 to which the call is to be transported and, when a service platform is the communication device 108 or 110, which interactive application or other processing option the service platform can provide. In addition, the signaling processor 1 12 determines if the interworking unit 1 14 is to be configured to detect a call trigger and which subset of tones to process.
- the signaling processor 112 selects the connection 126 from the interworking unit 1 14 to the second communication device 108 for the user communications.
- the signaling processor 1 12 sends a processor control message to the interworking unit 114 designating the selected connection 126 and configuring the interwokring unit to process a subset of tones as call triggers and to complete validation and screening.
- the signaling processor 1 12 also sends a processor control message to the selected second communication device 108 notifying the second communication device 108 that user communications will be transported to the second communication device over a selected connection 126.
- the interworking unit 114 receives both the user communications from the first communication device 106 and the processor control message from the signaling processor 112.

- the interworking unit 114 transports the ATM cells over the selected connection 126 to the second communication device 108.
- a cross connect (not shown) is located between the interworking unit 114 and the second communication device 108. The cross connect receives the ATM cells from the interworking unit 1 14 and directs the ATM cells to the second communication device 108.
- the signalmg processor 112 may, for example, determine that the call is to be forwarded to the third communication device 110 m response to the call trigger The signalmg processor 112 then selects a connection 128 to the third communication device and transmits a processor control message to the mterworkmg unit 114 requiring the mterworkmg unit 114 to transport the user communications over the selected connection 128 to the third communication device 110
- the call trigger system 104B illustrated in Fig 3 the mterworkmg unit 1 14B includes an external tone detector 332 attached to the backside of the interworking unit
- the mterworkmg unit 114B is connected to the tone detector 332 via a bus 334 or other appropriate connection
- the tone detector 332 communicates control messages m a tone detector control message to the signalmg processor 112 via the link 336 and receives control messages from the signalmg processor 122 via the link 336
- a telecommunication system 102 comprising a service platform 438 is illustrated m Fig 4
- the service platform 438 provides interactive applications having processing options for the user communications
- the service platform 438 may be configured to perform conference bridging
- the service platform 438 communicates with the mterworkmg unit 114 over a connection 440 and with the signalmg processor over the link 442
- the interworkmg unit transmits an interworkmg unit control message containing the call trigger data associated with the call frigger, such as a tone, to the signalmg processor 112
- the signaling processor may determine that a processmg option m an mteractive application residmg on the service platform 438 is to be implemented to process the user communications In such a case, the signaling processor 112 transmits a processor control message to the interworkmg unit 114 instructing the interworking unit to transport the user communications to the service platform
- the user communications of the call are interworked by the interworking units 114C and 1 14D.
- a cross connect 510 directs ATM communications of ATM cells between the interworking units 114C and 114D of the two call trigger systems 104C and 104D.
- SS7 devices 512 and 514 direct call signaling to the respective signaling processors 112C and 112D of the call trigger systems 104C and 104D.

- the first communication device 106 initiates a call trigger.
- any element including the second communication device 108 and the signaling processor 112, can initiate a call trigger.
- the signaling processor 112 transmits a release connection message to the second communication device 108 instructing the second communication device that the call is to be released.
- the signaling processor 112 also transmits a control message to the third communication device 1 10 instructing the third communication device to initiate a connection to the interworking unit 1 14. This will require the third communication device 110 to follow call setup procedures.
- the signaling processor 1 12 transmits a processor control message to the interworking unit 1 14 reassigning the connection to the selected connection 128 to the third communication device 110.
- the processor control message contains the DSO port to VPI/VCI port interworking information required by the interworking unit 114 to interwork the user communications to the designated port.
- the interworking unit 1 14 releases the connection to the second communication device 108.
- the interworking unit 114 then converts the user communications to ATM cells that identify the selected VPI/VCI connection to the third communication device 110.
- the interworking unit 114 transports the ATM cells containing the user communications over the selected connection 128 to the third communication device 110.
