Centralized service control for a telecommunication system

1. A communication service control system comprising:

a transaction agent processing system configured to process a first query message transferred by a switching system with a plurality of parallel functions operating concurrently to generate and transfer a first action message for delivery to a service processing system having data from the first query message, wherein at least some of the parallel functions include data structures having entries with corresponding scores and action types, wherein the transaction agent processing system is configured to attempt to match data from the first query message with the entries and transfer the first action message based on one of the action types for a matching one of the entries having a highest one of the scores;

the transaction agent processing system configured to receive and process a return message transferred by the service processing system indicating communication handling data to generate and transfer a response message to the first query message for delivery to the switching system indicating the communication handling data; and

a transaction agent interface configured to receive the first query message transferred by the switching system responsive to a communication request of an end user, transfer the first action message for delivery to the service processing system, receive the return message transferred by the service processing system, and transfer the response message for delivery to the switching system for routing the communication request of the end user.

2. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises a called number data structure.

3. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises a nature of number data structure.

4. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises a caller number data structure.

5. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises an originating line identification data structure.

6. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises an originating switching system data structure.

7. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises an originating trunk data structure.

8. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises a trigger index data structure.

9. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises a call reference identification data structure.

10. The communication service control system of claim 1 wherein one of the data structures comprises a carrier identification code data structure.

11. A communication service control method comprising:

receiving and processing a first query message transferred by a switching system responsive to a communication request of an end user with a plurality of parallel functions operating concurrently to generate and transfer for delivery to a service processing system a first action message having data from the first query message, wherein at least some of the parallel functions include data structures having entries with corresponding scores and action types, and wherein processing the first query message with a plurality of the parallel functions comprises attempting to match data from the first query message with the entries and transferring the first action message based on one of the action types for a matching one of the entries having a highest one of the scores; and

receiving and processing a return message transferred by the service processing system indicating communication handling data to generate and transfer a response message for delivery to the switching system indicating the communication handling data for routing the communication request of the end user.

12. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises a called number data structure.

13. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises a nature of number data structure.

14. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises a caller number data structure.

15. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises an originating line identification data structure.

16. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises an originating switching method data structure.

17. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises an originating trunk data structure.

18. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises a trigger index data structure.

19. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises a call reference identification data structure.

20. The communication service control method of claim 11 wherein one of the data structures comprises a carrier identification code data structure.

21. The communication service control system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the transaction agent processing system configured to select which of the plurality of parallel functions processes the first query message based on further data from the first query message.

22. The communication service control method of claim 11 , further comprising:

selecting which of the plurality of parallel functions processes the first query message based on further data from the first query message.
