15、omponent Activation Interface, June, 2008.33 DEFINITIONS, ACRONYMS, arrows represent interactions between components. 4.2.1 Scenario 1: Customer Inquires about IPTV Product and Negotiates Service A customer has heard about IPTV service offerings from marketing information circulated by the Service P
16、rovider (e.g., direct mail to existing customers with suitable service addresses, door-to-door canvassing and flyer distributions, Television and Radio advertisements, storefront posters and advertisements, employee campaigns, home electronics retailer referrals) and wishes to find out more with a v
17、iew to ordering or modifying existing service. The Customer Pre-Order Handling component manages the pre-order feasibility process, including identification of customer service address, available products, credit-worthiness, and product pricing. If one or more products are not available, the custome
18、r is notified and alternative products as well as Service Provider contacts may be offered. This component is also able to respond to customer inquiry concerning prices. The Service Address Validation component provides a valid service address format. An existing service instance id (such as a telep
19、hone number for a current telephony customer) or service address data components may be used to provide a valid format. The look up for valid service address also allows association of all policies concerning supplier/partner arrangements that are operative for this potential IPTV customer and allow
20、s initial screening for service availability. Based on a business relationship determined by a valid service address, the Alternative Service Provider Referral component provides up to date contact information concerning alternative services or service providers for a service address which is “out o
21、f the service area” for the Service Provider. The Customer Inventory component provides details concerning current customers and their existing product purchases. It determines the status of current and/or historic retail relationships between the customer and the Service Provider. The Service Desig
22、n component develops an overall IPTV service solution design for a particular service address including potential resource assignments. The Service Inventory component determines whether service resources are available to provide some or all of the service features at the service address. ATIS-03001
23、01 9 The Resource Provisioning component determines the availability of suitable specific resources in the transport network terminated at the service address. It also determines the availability of specific resources within the service stratum. (These verification steps might involve interactions w
24、ith a partner provider in future business arrangements.) The Product Offering Inventory component provides details of products offered at the Service Address given available network and service resources determined from the solution design. The Credit Validate and Identity Management component verif
25、ies (authenticates) the identity information provided by the customer and determines the creditworthiness of the customer. If the customer is new to the Service Provider, third party partners may be used to complete the evaluation. The Advice of Charge component determines price of products of parti
26、cular interest to the customer. These calculations may include real-time business partnership promotional offering information. These components are linked together for a pre-order service negotiation process and displayed in the following figure. CustomerCustomer Pre-Order HandlingIdentity if it is
27、, it sends a request to deliver the CPE to the appropriate work dispatch center, and notifies the Service Order Handling component of fulfilled CPE order for installation. If the customer will self-install, the CPE is mailed to the customer address. The CPE Order Handling component is also responsib
28、le for maintaining CPE inventory. The Network Order Handling component receives the network order from the Service Order Handling component and requests facility assignment and provisioning of the network. If the IPTV Service Provider leases network from a Network Provider, additional interactions a
29、re needed as explained in Scenario 4, Service Provider orders Network from Network Provider. When the ATIS-0300101 11 network is provisioned, network management inventories are updated and the Service Order Handling component is notified. When the network has been configured and the CPE is on hand,
30、the Service Order Handling component will notify the Dispatch Center that they can send an installer to the customer premises on the due date. When the DNG is activated, the Service Order Handling component requests service activation from the SDP component7. The SDP coordinates provisioning with th
31、e IPTV, Internet access, and Internet telephony platforms. When successfully completed, SDP registers the subscriber account and service features, and then notifies the Service Order Handling component of completion. The Service Order Handling component notifies the Customer Order Handling component
32、 of completion. Customer Order Handling updates the order status and notifies the Customer Billing component to set up billing. The customer is notified of account number, and is emailed information on setting up online access to account for browser control features and paperless billing. 4.2.3 Scen
33、ario 3: Existing customer orders a change in IPTV product subscription An existing customer orders a change in current IPTV service via a web portal, retail store, or phone. The order concerns a transition from one product package to another package, including termination of all service products. Ex
34、amples include adding or deleting channel groupings such as premium channels, adding or deleting VoD capabilities, adding or deleting linear broadcast services, and adding or deleting other applications such as interactive gaming, or ancillary blended telephone services such as Caller Id on TV, Vide
35、o Voice Mail, or Voice to Text. It is assumed that the customer is already served by a broadband network infrastructure, since it is an existing IPTV customer. The Customer Order Handling component confirms the identity of the existing customer, including service address and current IPTV product pac
36、kage subscription. This component provides information on possible product package modifications and resulting advice of charge consequences. Based on the specific selection by the customer, the Customer Order Handling component creates and tracks the service order(s) necessary to provide the new su
37、bscription and provides status to the customer as needed. The Service Order Handling component processes the received service order(s) and determines whether an upgrade to software for existing CPE is required to fulfill the order, if additional CPE equipment is required, or if return of CPE equipme
38、nt is required to fulfill the modification to subscription. If new equipment is required or if existing equipment is to be returned, the component sends a request to the CPE Order Handling component. If existing CPE requires an upgrade, a request is sent to the Network Order Handling component. The
39、component also determines what service resources require reconfiguration, such as digital rights modifications, and issues a request to the SDP for those changes to be made. The Service Order Handling component waits for confirmation that both requests have been completed. 7The SDP component include
40、s all NGN application layer service resources as well as management APIs. Since both OSS and service resources are contained within SDP, a transparent background was chosen to distinguish this circumstance.

42、ervice address with instructions to have the replaced CPE device returned to the Service Provider in the same packaging, if appropriate. The CPE Order Handling component is responsible for maintaining CPE inventory and notifying of receipt of replaced equipment, as well as of the delivery of the CPE
43、 to the subscriber premises. When the CPE is on hand, the Service Order Handling requests the provisioning of service resources from the SDP component. Once this request is processed successfully, the SDP modifies the subscriber account to include the change in service features, and notifies the Ser
44、vice Order Handling component of completion. If needed, the Service Order Handling component will notify the Dispatch Center that they can send an installer to the customer premises on the due date to complete any further onsite installation work required. Once the dispatch activities are completed,
45、 the Service Order Handling component closes out the service order and notifies the Customer Order Handling component. This component confirms the new product package and features with the customer, and updates the Customer Billing component of any charging changes with effective date. If needed, th
46、e Service Order Handling component will notify the Network Order Handling component to execute on any CPE software upgrade required to fulfill the service modification request. ATIS-0300101 13 Otherwise, the Service Ordering Handling component simply closes out the service order and notifies the Cus
47、tomer Order Handling component. This component verifies receipt and self-install of the CPE with the customer, and confirms the availability of new service features to the customer. It then updates the Customer Billing component of any charging changes with effective date. If the modification is for
48、 a disconnect, the Service Ordering Handling component issues requests for network and service resource modifications to the Network Order Handling and SDP components, respectively. After confirmation of these modifications and after the customer has returned any outstanding CPE equipment, the Custo
49、mer Billing component is updated of any charging changes with effective date, and issues a final bill to the customer. 4.2.4 Scenario 4: Service Provider orders network products from partnering Network Provider (new, delete, or modify) There may be differing scenarios when ordering between Service Providers and Network Providers. This scenario assumes the Service Provider will provide CPE equipment involved in the establishment of IPTV Service. There is also an assumption no interaction between End User and Network Provider is necess
