Abstract

The various embodiments herein provide a method and system for advertising on a user screen of a mobile communication device. The method comprising of installing a cell broadcasting system (CBS) application in the mobile communication device, uploading at least one advertisement on a portal, sending the uploaded advertisement to a cell broadcast system and transmitting the uploaded advertisement to the communication device. The CBS application provides for receiving and displaying at least one advertisement on the user screen. The system comprising a cell broadcast manager to receive at least one advertisement from a plurality of cell broadcast entities, a cell broadcast system to store the at least one advertisement, a plurality of base station controllers, a cell broadcast centre to address an appropriate base station controller for processing the requests and one or more base transceiver stations for transmitting the uploaded advertisement to the mobile communication device.

Claims

1. ) A method for transmitting and/or receiving data on a user screen of an electronic device connected to a network, the method comprising steps of:

installing a cell broadcasting system (CBS) application in said electronic device;

uploading data content on a portal;

sending the uploaded data content to a distributing broadcasting system; and

transmitting the uploaded data content from the distributing broadcasting system to said electronic device, wherein the CBS application provides for receiving and displaying data content on the user screen of the electronic device, and wherein said data content comprises image, text or video data.

2. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the step of uploading the data content on the portal comprises steps of:

registering a data content provider with the portal; and

providing authentication credentials, wherein the authentication credentials include a user defined Login-ID and Password.

3. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the electronic device is at-least one of GSM mobile communication device and CDMA mobile communication device.

4. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the step of uploading the data content is carried out through at least one of a CB media Loader, a CB Media Planner and a CB Media Webpage through a secured network.

5. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the uploaded data contents are sorted and saved in a cell broadcast media server of the cell broadcast system or an alternate GPRS medium.

6. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the at least one data content is displayed on the user screen in a pattern to cover a display screen, cover a portion of the display screen, replace an operator logo and replace a background picture.

7. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the data content is sent to a selected users of a network operator depending on the requirements of at-least one of the user and the data content provider.

8. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the data content is sent to all of the users of the network depending on the requirements of the data content provider.

9. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein the data content is interactive.

10. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, further comprising directing the user to additional information related to an data content of interest.

11. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, wherein additional information is linked to a hyperlink such that the user selects the hyperlink upon area of interest.

12. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, further comprising shuffling the data contents based on predetermined intervals of usage.

13. ) The method for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 1, further comprising transmitting at-least one data content through a wireless application protocol link to the electronic device.

14. ) A system for transmitting and/or receiving data on an user screen of an electronic device connected to a network, the system comprising:

a cell broadcast manager to receive at least one data content comprising a request from a plurality of cell broadcast entities;

a cell broadcast system to store the at least one data content transmitted by the cell broadcast manager;

a plurality of base station controllers comprising GPRS methodology;

a cell broadcast centre to address an appropriate base station controller for processing the request; and

one or more base transceiver stations for transmitting the uploaded data content to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes an user interface for a CBC application installed on the electronic device for receiving and displaying the at least one data content, wherein the at least one data content comprises image, text or video data.

15. ) The system for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 14, wherein the cell broadcast entities defines broadcast areas based on at least one of geographical locations and across geographical locations by abstracting from the topology of a mobile communication network.

16. ) The system for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 14, wherein the cell broadcast entities defines intervals for transmitting the cell broadcast message to the mobile communication device.

17. ) The system for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 14, wherein the cell broadcast message is the data content uploaded to the cell broadcast center.

18. ) The system for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 14, wherein the base transceiver station is a radio base station.

19. ) The system for transmitting and/or receiving data according to claim 15, wherein said system is adaptable to send and receive SMS and MMS using said system.
