Abstract

Disclosed communication network enabled system and method for connecting pluralities of users for translating information sent over a communication network comprising a mobile application installed in a portable mobile communication device for receiving the information from the users. A first time user can specify input language and the desired translated output language into the mobile application. The translation request notification information is routed and sent to top tier users selected from a ranked list by a server as a push notification. The first one to respond is connected to the user. The translator can set the frequency of translation requests and can charge for each translation. After the translation is completed the user can rate the translator which will help the translator to get new requests. Too many bad reports about the translation of a user will get that user blocked.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of information collected by the portable mobile communication device by a first user is transferred to the at least one user group via the communication network, a plurality of translation information notification is provided to the portable mobile communication devices of the plurality of users from the at least one user group determined by the server in form a push notification for the purpose of translating the plurality of information to a desired language set by the first user.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the mobile application allows the first user to select a desired language to which the plurality of information to be translated, wherein the plurality of translation information notification is send to the plurality of users capable of translating the plurality of information sent by the first user, wherein the plurality of users is determined by the at least one server from the at least one user group.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the processing unit processes the plurality of instructions of the mobile application related to the plurality of information sending from and receiving to the portable mobile communication device using the mobile application for providing an output compatible with the portable mobile communication device of the first user.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of information is send from the portable mobile communication device to the at least one server via the network communication unit of the portable mobile communication device, wherein the plurality of information sending from and receiving to the portable mobile communication device is stored in the memory unit for presenting on the user interface displayed on the display unit.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of information received from a translator user of the at least one user group selected by the at least one server includes the plurality of information translated into a language desired by the first user, wherein the plurality of information received by the at least one server from the translator user of the at least one user group selected by the at least one server is transferred to the first user via the communication network.

9. A method of translating a plurality of information sent from a mobile application over a communication network, the method comprising:

providing a portable mobile communication device installed with the mobile application, the portable mobile communication device is capable of being connecting to the communication network for connecting to a plurality of users for the purpose of translating the plurality of information sent over the communication network;

registering the plurality of users of the portable mobile communication device running the mobile application in a server;

selecting at least one payment means by the at least one user of the portable mobile communication device running the mobile application for translating the plurality of information received from the plurality of users;

sending a plurality of translation information notification to the plurality of users of the mobile application by the server after receiving a translation request from the mobile application of a first user over the communication network, the plurality of users being part of a user group set by the server;

receiving a plurality of translation information notification reply from the plurality of users of the mobile application by the server via the communication network;

establishing a communication connection between the mobile application of the first user and the mobile application of a translator user, the translator user being the first one to respond to the plurality of translation information notification with the plurality of translation information notification reply, wherein the translator user being selected from the user group with the knowledge of the desired language set by the server;

routing the plurality of information to be translated from the mobile application of the first user to the mobile application of the translator user of the user group for translation, the translator user can establish a voice call with the first user through the mobile application over the communication network; and

receiving the plurality of information after translation by the first user from the translator user through the mobile application.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the mobile application installed in the portable mobile communication device is capable of transferring the plurality of information selected by the first user to the translator user over the communication network for the purpose of translating the plurality of information to a desired language set by the first user.
