Abstract

A system and method for providing content or information over a communication network having communication service providers. The system includes a call handler having a call landing module configured to receive an incoming call from a calling device, wherein the incoming call is generated by dialing a predetermined service number on the calling device. Further, the call handler includes a call action module configured to capture a Calling Line Identity (CLI) of the calling device and capture the predetermined service number, and is configured to perform an action on the incoming call. Also, the system includes a look up module and a forwarding module configured to scan a database having information or content corresponding to a plurality of service numbers, retrieve information or content corresponding to the predetermined service number from the database, and forward the information or content to the calling device.

Claims

1. A system for providing content or information over a communication network having one or more service providers;

the system comprising;

a call handler comprising,

a call landing module configured to receive an incoming call from a calling device capable of being operated by a User, wherein the incoming call is generated by dialing a predetermined service number from the calling device,

a call action module configured to capture Calling Line Identity (CLI) of said calling device and capture said predetermined service number, wherein said call action module accepts incoming call and then automatically rejects said incoming call after acceptance of the incoming call to enable at least one of said service provider to derive monetary benefit while providing said content or information over the communication network;

a look up module configured to scan a database having a list of service numbers to extract said content or information corresponding to said predetermined service number from said database; and

a forwarding module configured to forward said content or information to said calling device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the predetermined service number is one or a combination of a numeric number and an alphanumeric number.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rejection of incoming call happens after a pre-defined time of acceptance of the incoming call.

4. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein said call back enables said system to respond to purpose of said incoming call at said predetermined service number.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said system is further configured to call back the calling device after said incoming call is rejected.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said look up module is configured to retrieve said information or content based on profile of caller of said incoming call.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said content or information comprises one or a combination of train arrival information, booking status, voting confirmation, stock exchange information, trading details, PAN card status, passport status, bank account information, bank transactions and statements details, cooking gas booking, gas connection status, electric bill details, telephone bill details, electric connection status, house tax details, income tax details, provident fund and TDS details, water bill details, student details, school details, educational results status, employee details, stock details, company details, quiz draw status, lottery draw status, delivery status, all types of bills and network marketing and multi-level marketing details and information non-government organizations details, political parties details, celebrity messages and details, any membership details, customers details, commitment details, subscribers details and facility of getting rates details by their own desire at desired time of various products like Market Rate Information, Fruit rate, Vegetable Rate, Grains Rate, Seeds Rate, Goods Rate, Vehicle Rate, Spare Parts Rate, Food Items, Gold rate;

Silver rate, Metal Rate, Copper Rate, Powder, Liquid and Solid Products Rates, Travel rates, shares and stock rates, hotel rates, education fees, consultation fee, government and private fees and the like.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said system further comprises a safety Module configured to capture IMEI of said calling device and authenticate said calling device based on said captured IMEI.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8 comprising a customization module configured to customize information or content to be forwarded to said calling device based on said captured IEMI number.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said forwarding module forwards said information or content to said calling device through one or a combination of a short text messaging service, and a voice call service based on service operator information of the calling device.

11. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an operator identification module which is configured to track the details of the telecom operator of the said calling device, and forward the details of the telecom operator to the forwarding module.

12. The s stem as claimed in claim 11, wherein the call forwarding module forwards said content or information to said calling device using the same operator as that of the calling device.

13. A method for providing content or information over a communication network having one or more service providers, said method comprising the steps of:

receiving an incoming call from a calling device capable of being operated by a user, wherein the incoming call is generated by dialing a predetermined service number from the calling device,

capturing Calling Line Identity (CLI) of said calling device and capturing said predetermined service number,

accepting said incoming call to establish call connection and then automatically rejecting said incoming call after accepting the incoming call to enable at least one of said service provider to derive monetary benefit while providing said content or information over the communication network;

scanning a database having a list of service numbers to extract said Content or information corresponding to said predetermined service number from said database; and

forwarding said content or information to said calling device.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the predetermined service number is one or a combination of a numeric number and an alphanumeric number.

15. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said rejection of incoming call happens automatically after a pre-defined time.

16. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said method further comprises the step of calling back the calling device after said incoming call is rejection.

17. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein said call back enables said method to respond to the purpose of said incoming call at said predetermined service number.

18. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said method further comprises the step of capturing IMEI of said calling device and authenticating said calling device based on said captured IMEI.

19. The method as claimed in claim 18 further comprising the step of customizing information or content to be forwarded to said calling device based on said captured IEMI number.

20. A system for providing content or information over a communication network having one or more service providers, the system comprising:

a call handler comprising,

a call landing module configured to receive an incoming call from a calling device capable of being operated by a user, wherein the incoming call is generated by dialing a predetermined service number from the calling device,

a call action module configured to capture Calling Line identity (CLI) of said caning device and capture said predetermined service number, wherein said call action module automatically rejects said incoming call;

a look up module configured to scan a database having a list of service numbers to extract said content or information corresponding to said predetermined service number from said database; and

a forwarding module Configured to forward said content Or information to said calling device,

wherein the system further comprises an operator identification module which is configured to track the details of the telecom operator of the said calling device, and forward the details of the telecom operator to the forwarding module, and

wherein the call forwarding module forwards said content or information to said calling device using the same operator as that of the calling device.
