Abstract

A service control processor includes a plurality of service feature processors each corresponding to selected telephone service, and a plurality of call processing records, each corresponding to a customer of a service provider. The customer call processing records specify services subscribed to by the caller. A feature manager processor manages call processing and the implementation and execution of services by managing the individual service feature processors. In an alternative embodiment, multiple feature manager processors are included, and a trigger manager selects between them in response to call processing triggers.
