Method, System and Apparatus For Provisioning Services to Subscribers in a Telecommunications Network

The present invention is a telecommunication system, comprising of at least one base station connected to a telecommunication network, a plurality of subscriber stations each cooperating with the base station to establish a connection between a user device operably connected to the subscriber station and the telecommunication network. The base station is also connected with a subscriber database to maintain the subscriber records that contain provisioning information for services, features and account information, and an interactive response system operable to create and modify a subscriber record in the subscriber database in response to input received over the connection from a subscriber using the user device to select services, features and account information for the subscriber station.

Interactive Voice Response System and Method

  Bruno  Richard Preiss and Daniel Wilk, April 2001. Patent Application[64].

The present invention provides a novel system, method and apparatus of delivering interactive voice response services in a more efficient manner over a network. The system provides for the placement of a subscriber station local to the subscriber and a gateway protocol converter at the base station. The gateway protocol converter converts bandwidth- intensive audio messages into compact data messages, which upon transmission to the subscriber station are converted back into audio messages. By using data messages instead of audio messages over the network, bandwidth is saved on the network for other traffic. Another embodiment of the invention provides a method for transmitting subscriber responses utilizing the system.

Telecommunication Architecture

  Michael Stumm, William  Martin Snelgrove, Bruno  Richard Preiss, Mark Frazer, and Mauricio De Simone, October 2000. Patent Application[68].

The present invention provides a novel telecommunication architecture. The architecture includes a subscriber agent for each subscriber within a telecommunication network. The subscriber agent includes the subscriber's telephone number and calling features. The network also includes terminal agents which are directly associated with one or more terminals such as telephones. The subscriber agent can be associated with one or more terminal agents within the network, so that the subscriber's telephone number and set of calling features can be carried to any terminal within the network. A wide variety of calling features and terminals are supported by the architecture.
