Abstract
An advanced intelligent network (AIN) comprises an services control point providing fully integrated service logic for both narrowband and broadband communications. When a terminating trigger event of a switch on the phone number of the line serving a customer detects an incoming telephone call, the switch sends a query to the services control point with the calling number of the incoming call. The services control point retrieves calling party information corresponding to the calling number directly from a line identification database and issues a send data transaction with the retrieved calling party information to the customer's set-top box. The calling party information is then displayed on the customer's video display.
