Abstract
A system and method of providing enhanced user-service interactivity between a user and a service in an integrated telecommunications network including an IP-based packet-switched (PSN) portion and a circuit-switched network (CSN) portion. The network supports IN-based service architecture for providing Value-Added Services (VAS) to the user who interacts with the network by operating an IP-compliant terminal. The network includes a switching node that governs call setup, call control, and service access and switching with respect to the user. A Service Control Point (SCP) is included in the network for the provisioning of VAS to the user. The SCP node includes a logic portion for determining whether an interaction between the user and an Intelligent Peripheral is to be effectuated when a service is invoked and an appropriate service trigger is transmitted from the switching node.
