Abstract

A bookmark system and method automatically stores a subaddress associated with a particular user and location within a presently connected server. The subaddress preferably indicates a location where the user exited the server. This bookmark system and method seamlessly places the user back to this subaddress within the server when the user reconnects to the server. The bookmark system and method is preferably configured to operate within an Intelligent Network service. By utilizing the bookmark system and method, the user is able to move from server to server and automatically return to a subaddress where the user previously exited the server. Further, the bookmark system and method does not require a call to be routed through a prior server in order for the user to return to the subaddress where the user previously exited the prior server.
