An advanced intelligent network (AIN) comprises a services control point providing fully integrated service logic for both narrowband and broadband communications. When a terminating trigger 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 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, and the customer sends an instruction for re-directing the call through the set-top box to the ISCP. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide methods and apparatus which will overcome the disadvantages and meet the needs discussed above.
It is one object of the invention to provide for coordination and control of narrowband and broadband communications in an AIN network by using a services control point having one or more interfaces connected to elements of a broadband network.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an AIN architecture which permits the broadband video equipment of a customer to interact with a services control point when the customer is receiving a telephone call in order to offer enhanced video services to a customer or to a video information provider.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an AIN network architecture which allows a customer's broadband customer premises equipment to transmit information to the services control point of an AIN telephone network, particularly so that the services control point can, in response, provide instructions to the narrowband network for processing of the narrowband call corresponding to the displayed calling party information.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an AIN network architecture which offers multi-network integration so that the customer perceives services to span a number of traditionally separate networks, such as television, narrowband and cellular networks.
The preferred embodiment of the invention integrates narrowband and broadband services, wherein the narrowband switch queries the services control point in response to a telephone call, and the services control point interacts with a subscriber via the subscriber's broadband set-top terminal device prior to instructing the narrowband switch as to how to complete the call.
It is also an object of the present invention to more closely integrate elements of the AIN telephone network and the network providing video communications, particularly for purposes of controlling rerouting of incoming telephone calls in conjunction with the distribution of video, video-on-demand, pay per view and ADSL communications over, for example, a video dial tone network
