Sprint Communications Company L.P. - Overland Park KS

International Classification:

H04M 3/42
H04L 12/56
H04M 1/64
H04M 15/06

US Classification:

37921101, 379 8821, 37914201, 370426

Abstract:

In a telecommunication network, a switching system routes a call to a service platform. The service platform transfers a prompt message over the call, collects caller-entered information from the caller, and transfers the caller-entered information to an SCP system. The SCP system transfers the caller-entered information to a first destination processor, processes a first destination routing code from the first destination processor to determine a first destination routing instruction, and transfers the first destination routing instruction to the switching system. The switching system routes the call to a first destination in response to the first destination routing instruction. The SCP system transfers the caller-entered information to a second destination processor, processes a second destination routing code from the second destination processor to determine a second destination routing instruction, and transfers the second destination routing instruction to the switching system. The switching system routes the call to a second destination in response to the second destination routing instruction.

US Classification:

37921101, 379 8821, 37914201, 379426

Abstract:

A telecommunication network comprises a switching system configured to route a call to a service platform, the service platform configured to transfer a prompt message over the call, collect caller-entered information from a caller over the call in response to the prompt message, and transfer the caller-entered information to a call processing system in the telecommunication network, the call processing system configured to transfer the caller-entered information to a destination processor at a call center, process a destination routing code from the destination processor to determine a destination routing instruction, and transfer the destination routing instruction to the switching system, and the switching system further configured to route the call to a destination in response to the destination routing instruction.

Abstract:

In a telecommunication network, a switching system routes a call to a service platform. The service platform transfers a prompt message over the call, collects caller-entered information from a caller over the call in response to the prompt message, and transfers the caller-entered information to a call processing system. The call processing system transfers the caller-entered information to a destination processor, processes a destination routing code from the destination processor to determine a destination routing instruction, and transfers the destination routing instruction to the switching system. The switching system routes the call to a destination in response to the destination routing instruction.
