Abstract
Telecommunications calls exchanged between customer premise equipment (CPE) and a switched telephone network receive AIN treatment within the CPE and within the network. An AIN architecture is employed in the CPE and in the network, and the signaling systems are interfaced to permit an exchange of signaling messages. A request message, originating either within the CPE or within the network, can be directed to a service logic provider either within the CPE or within the network (e.g., an AIN integrated service control point, or ISCP). In particular, the ISCP of the switched telephone network can be programmed by the customer premises equipment and vice versa to provide enhanced services. These may include a look ahead busy service in which a query is sent to determine whether equipment is busy before a communications call is connected.
