Abstract

A system and method for implementing an interactive session between a display equipment and a handheld electronic device is provided. The system has a display screen operable to display a data/information, a telecommunication network coupled with a local area network and a world wide web, a smart-IB box capable of sending and receiving a data/information, a system server capable of interpreting the received messages from the Smart-IB and a user'"'"'s mobile phone. The method involves detecting a request by a mobile phone, initiating a user preferred schedule for pushing a data/information in response to the request, determining the installation of an interactive interface to access the various options available through the menus, receiving and processing the request, sorting the request for a scheduled data/information, relaying and displaying the scheduled data/information in accordance with a preferred schedule.

Claims

1. A system for implementing an interactive session between a display equipment and a handheld communication device, the system comprising:

a display screen operable to display a data/information;

a telecommunication network coupled with a local area network and a world wide web;

a smart-IB box capable of sending and receiving a data/information;

a system server capable of interpreting a received message from the smart-IB and a user'"'"'s handheld communication device;

a handheld communication device,

an enabling means transmitted and installed in the handheld communication device to provide an interaction between the display screen and the handheld communication device, and wherein the enabling means is installed in the handheld communication device to access various options available through an enhanced enabling means, and wherein the enabling means is a user interface and wherein the enabling means is an interactive session, and wherein the enhanced enabling means is a menu in the handheld communication device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said Smart-IB capable of:

sending and receiving the data/information;

scheduling and streaming a data/information to be displayed;

interpreting and processing the requests received from the handheld communication device;

enabling a vicinity to support a short range wireless communication, and wherein the short range wireless communication is Bluetooth;

enabling the vicinity to support a wireless communication, and wherein the wireless communication is WIFI.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said Smart-IB further comprising:

interpreting means to interpret requests;

storage means to store a data/information;

scheduling means to schedule a data/information;

connecting means to connect to a handheld communication device;

transmitting and receiving means for transmitting and receiving a data/information from the system server.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said system server further comprising includes:

receiving and transmitting means for transmitting and receiving a data/information;

storage means to store the data/information;

interpreting means to interpret requests;

analyzing and profiling means;

third party server connecting means.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the handheld communication device is used as an interactive medium for local polls, promotions and commercials.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the handheld communication device is used as an interactive medium with the display screen through a Bluetooth interaction to display a content which is specific to a personal settings of a user using a unique Bluetooth ID of user, thereby levying no service charges and bypassing the service operator.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the handheld communication device is used as an interactive medium with the display screen through a Bluetooth interaction to provide the user with a certain information and wherein the certain information is selected from a group consisting of a location based information, a time based information, a user'"'"'s profile based information, a buying pattern based information and wherein the certain information is configured and scheduled by an administrator of a system.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system has a manual or an automated moderation feature in case of display of a user generated data to prevent a display of any obsolete or unwanted data or information.

9. A method for implementing an interactive session between a display equipment and a handheld communication device, the method comprising the steps of:

detecting a request by a handheld communication device;

initiating a user preferred schedule for pushing a data/information in response to the request;

determining an installation of an enabling means to access various options available through an enhanced enabling means, and wherein the enabling means is a user interface and wherein the enabling means is an interactive session, and wherein the enhanced enabling means is a menu;

receiving and processing the request made by the handheld communication device;

sorting the request for a scheduled data/information;

relaying and displaying the scheduled data/information in accordance with the user preferred schedule.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the enabling means is transmitted to the handheld communication device in accordance with the preferences of the user and wherein the enabling means is the interactive session.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the request for the scheduled data/information is processed through a Smart-IB.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the data/information is capable of being retrieved from a system server.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the data/information retrieved from a third party server on request.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the system server uses one or more modes to communicate with the handheld communication device and with a display equipment, and wherein the system server uses a single mode for a both way communication to send and receive the data/information, and wherein the system server use one mode of communication for sending the data/information and an another mode for receiving the data/information.

15. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the display of data/information comprises the display of data/information configured by a system administrator.

16. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

establishing a communication link between the handheld communication device and a system network in response to a reception of a contact command indicating a desire of a user for an establishment of a communication link.

17. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein the communication link is established using a short range wireless communication and/or a wireless communication, and wherein a short range wireless communication is Bluetooth and wherein the wireless communication is WLAN and/or WIFI.

18. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a step of interaction with a system network wherein the user interacts with the system server through a short messaging service (SMS).
