TELECOM INFORMATION FOR WEB SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED BY A TELECOM NETWORK

摘要

Systems and methods for identifying telecom information for web services that will be provided by a telecom network. In one embodiment, a telecom data element is implemented in a telecom network. When a web service request is initiated by an application and sent to a web service gateway, the web service gateway sends a query to the telecom data element. The telecom data element receives the query, and identifies telecom information that relates to the web service that will be provided by the telecom network. For example, the telecom information may comprise policy rules, context information (e.g., location, presence, etc.), and subscriber profiles. After collecting the telecom information, the telecom data element transmits a response to the web service gateway that includes the telecom information. The web service gateway may then process the telecom information to determine how to handle the service request for the web service.
