System and method for using symbol command language within a communications network
First Claim
1. An internet-based delivery platform connected to a communications network for distributing goods or services based on information sent from an internet device to the delivery platform, said platform comprising:
- a) a computing device and a computer operations program, module or code for operating an internet-based delivery platform;
b) an internet interface accessible by a user internet device, said internet interface configured for receiving a symbol command message including a smart symbol command from a user, wherein the smart symbol command comprises a basic symbol command and at least one of a functional command or a keyword command that modifies the basic symbol command, wherein the functional command defines a quantitative parameter of a good or service associated with the basic symbol command, and the keyword command defines a qualitative parameter of a good or service associated with the basic symbol command;
c) a symbol command directory with a database having a plurality of basic symbol commands that are associated with one or more goods or services, and one or more functional and keyword commands;
d) a comparison program, module or code for comparing at least a part of the symbol command message with the plurality of basic symbol commands and the functional and keyword commands listed in the database of the symbol command directory; and
e) a distribution program, module or code for bypassing an internet website to directly implement a distribution of a good or service associated in the symbol command directory with the basic symbol command according to the at least one functional command or keyword command in the symbol command message to prevent a direct interfacing between the user and a separate vendor distributing the good or service.

Abstract
A system and method for generating actions utilizing predefined commands within a communications network comprises predefined commands called symbol commands. These are character strings entered into an internet platform during an internet protocol session. The method and system can be used via the internet and is well-suited for mobile use. In addition, utilization of keywords and alpha-numeric or other character symbols to form symbol commands allows for complex command structuring. A search process is used in combination with a symbol command and a symbol command directory to identify specific goods and services, or related symbol commands. In addition, a platform performs specific predetermined actions in response to the symbol command such as making product purchases or providing services such as location-based services, coupon delivery or travel ticketing. The symbol command structure and internet platform will also utilize identification information associated with an individual user. Furthermore, the platform may implement a response using location information associated with the user from the country code, area code or prefix code of a user'"'"'s telephone number, or use GPS location information associated with the user'"'"'s internet device. The symbol command system and method provide an improved form of access to products and services via the internet.

39. A method of using an internet platform connected to a communications network, said method comprising:
-
a) accepting a user ID for access to the internet platform through an interface; b) receiving at the platform a symbol command message including a smart symbol command from a user, wherein the smart symbol command comprises a basic symbol command and at least one of a functional command or a keyword command that modifies the basic symbol command, wherein the functional command defines a quantitative parameter of a good or service associated with the basic symbol command, and the keyword command defines a qualitative parameter of a good or service associated with the basic symbol command; c) comparing at the platform at least a part of the symbol command message to a symbol command directory associated with a database having a plurality of basic symbol commands that are associated with one or more goods or services, and one or more functional and keyword commands; and d) bypassing an internet website to directly implement a response by the platform based on the symbol command message to prevent a direct interfacing between the user and a separate vendor implementing the response. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)
