Abstract

Embodiments herein disclose a method and system for a user to access content and information present on the content server on his communication device without having subscribed to any data access plans or without installation of any application on his communication device. A Bluetooth terminal, which is connected to the communication device using a Bluetooth connection, pushes a page to the device. The page has been encoded so that when the user clicks a link on the page or requests for more information from the page, a message is generated and is sent to the central server. The central server, on receiving the message, generates a response and sends the page, which has been specially coded to the communication device through the Bluetooth terminal using the Bluetooth connection.

Claims

1. A method for a user to access information using a communication device, said communication device connected to a Bluetooth network, said Bluetooth network comprising of a plurality of Bluetooth terminals and at least one server, said method comprising steps of:

said server sending a first page to said communication device through said Bluetooth terminal;

said user requesting for information from said server using said page;

said server fetching said requested information;

said server coding said information; and

said server sending said information to said communication device, through said Bluetooth terminal.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first page is created by said server based on location of said communication device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first page is created by said server based on past behavior of said user.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first page comprises of a unique identification of said communication device.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first page can be rendered by a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) browser.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first page can be rendered by a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) browser.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said Bluetooth terminal sends said first page to said communication device using Bluetooth.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said user requests for information using said page by clicking on links available on said page.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein requests for information from said user are send to server using Short Messaging Service (SMS).

10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said server fetches information from a local server.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said server fetches information from the internet.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein coding of said information by said server comprises steps of:

said server coding the information onto a page;

said server modifying links present on said page;

wherein said links can be used by said user to request for information; and

adding options to said page.

13. A method of simplifying user interactions through Bluetooth, the method comprising the steps of:

providing at least one central server, for providing content to a plurality of communication devices, providing at least one Bluetooth terminal, for interfacing between said central server and said plurality of communication devices;

where

said central server sends a first page to said communication device through said Bluetooth terminal;

a user of a communication device requesting for information from said central server using said page;

said central server fetching said requested information;

said central server coding said information; and

said central server sending said information to said communication device, through said Bluetooth terminal.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said first page is created by said central server based on location of said communication device.

15. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said first page is created by said central server based on past behavior of said user.

16. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said first page comprises of a unique identification of said communication device.

17. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said first page can be rendered by a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) browser.

18. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said first page can be rendered by a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) browser.

19. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said Bluetooth terminal sends said first page to said communication device using Bluetooth.

20. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said user requests for information using said page by clicking on links available on said page.

21. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein requests for information from said user are send to said central server using Short Messaging Service (SMS).

22. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said central server fetches information from a local server.

23. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said central server fetches information from the internet.

24. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein coding of said information by said central server comprises steps of:

said central server coding the information onto a page;

said central server modifying links present on said page;

wherein said links can be used by said user to request for information; and

adding options to said page.

25. A server, said server connected to a plurality of Bluetooth terminals, wherein said server with said plurality of Bluetooth terminals form a Bluetooth network, wherein a user through a communication device is connected to said Bluetooth network;

said server comprising of;

a coding means for coding information requested by said user into a page;

a modification means for modifying links present in said page, wherein said links can be used by said user to request for information from said server.
