Techniques for providing multimedia communication services to a subscriber

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a communication query from a network element of a communication network to access a subscriber device by a requested communication mode at a requested time period;

retrieving, by the system, an address pointer from a telephone number mapping server corresponding to the subscriber device and the requested communication mode to identify a retrieved address pointer;

determining, by the system, whether the retrieved address pointer indicates that the requested communication mode for the subscriber device is enabled or disabled for the requested time period;

transmitting, by the system, a rejection of the communication query to the network element responsive to determining that the requested communication mode is disabled for the request time period; and

servicing, by the system, the communication query for the subscriber device using the requested communication mode responsive to determining that the requested communication mode is enabled for the requested time period.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising modifying, by the system, the address pointer associated with the subscriber device at the telephone number mapping server to disable the requested communication mode.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving, by the system, a request from the subscriber device to disable the requested communication mode.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the request is generated according to a personal profile of a subscriber associated with the subscriber device.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving, by the system, a request from a home subscriber server to disable the requested communication mode.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the home subscriber server generates the request from a web browser.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested communication mode corresponds to a voice communication mode.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested communication mode corresponds to one of a text messaging communication mode, an instant messaging communication mode, or an email communication mode.

9. A server comprising:

a memory that stores executable instructions: and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the executable instructions, responsive to being executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:

receiving a first request from a call session control function server for modifying an address pointer associated with a communication mode of a subscriber device to alter an enable state of the communication mode of the subscriber device;

modifying the address pointer to alter the enable state the communication mode of the subscriber device according to the first request;

receiving a second request from the call session control function server for the address pointer associated with the subscriber device and a requested communication mode; and

transmitting the address pointer associated with the subscriber device and the requested communication mode to the call session control function server according to the second request, wherein the call session control function determines whether the address pointer indicates that the requested communication mode is enabled or disabled, and wherein the call session control function server transmits a rejection of a communication query to a network element of a communication network responsive to determining that the requested communication mode is disabled.

10. The server of claim 9 , wherein the call session control function server services the communication query of the network element of the communication network responsive to determining that the requested communication mode is enabled.

11. The server of claim 9 , wherein the first request originates at the subscriber device.

12. The server of claim 9 , wherein the first request originates at a home subscriber server.

13. The server of claim 9 , wherein the first request is generated according to a personal profile of a subscriber that is associated with the subscriber device.

14. The server of claim 9 , wherein the communication mode corresponds to a voice mode.

15. The server of claim 14 , wherein the voice mode includes one of a session initiation protocol voice over Internet protocol mode or a voice telephone mode.

16. The server of claim 9 , wherein the communication mode corresponds to one of a text messaging mode, an instant messaging mode, or an email mode.

17. A call session control function server, comprising:

a memory that stores executable instructions: and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the executable instructions, responsive to being executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:

transmitting a first request to a telephone number mapping server for modifying an address pointer associated with a communication mode of a subscriber device to alter an enable state of the communication mode of the subscriber device, wherein the telephone number mapping server alters the enable state of the communication mode of the subscriber device according to the first request;

receiving a call request from a network element of a communication system for initiating a call session for the subscriber device via a requested communication mode;

transmitting a second request to the telephone number mapping server for the address pointer associated with the subscriber device and the requested communication mode; and

receiving the address pointer associated with the subscriber device and the requested communication mode from the telephone number mapping server according to the second request;

determining whether the address pointer indicates that the requested communication mode is enabled or disabled; and

transmitting a rejection of the call request to the network element of the communication system responsive to determining that the requested communication mode is disabled.

18. The call session control function server of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise servicing the call request of the network element of the communication system responsive to determining that the requested communication mode is enabled.

19. The call session control function server of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a configuration request from the subscriber device for altering the enable state of the subscriber device.

20. The call session control function server of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a configuration request from a home subscriber server for altering the enable state of the subscriber device.
