Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SECURED SERVICES IN TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present invention generally relates to a system and method for providing services in a communication network, and particularly, relates to a system and method for providing content, interactive services and value added services in a telephonic network.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Content based services are becoming more and more popular among telecom operators and telephone users. These days many telecom operators provide multiple content based services. In these content based services, telecom operators provide usually information, such as match score, weather updates, horoscope, and other similar information, to the customers through text messages, voice messages, multimedia messages, and the like. However, it should be noted that in providing such content based services, a typical service charge is deducted from the account of the telephone users on requesting for such content.
Further, along with the increase in popularity of content based services, there has been a corresponding increase in user interactivity over telephony networks. Nowadays, plurality of Television shows tie up with telecom operators in providing users with interactive content over the telephony network. Not only do these companies provide users interactive content, they also encourage users to participate in various kinds of quizzes, games, voting, and other similar campaigns through their telephonic devices. However, again it should be noted that a typical service charge is deducted from the account of the user on requesting such interactive services.
In addition to the increase in popularity of content based services and user interactivity, there has also been an increase in providing various other value added services over telephony networks. Since telephones, and particularly wireless devices, such as mobile phones, have far reaching penetration in many countries, including countries, such as India and China, using telephony networks to provide almost all kind of services to customers is considered to be the next revolution in telephony communication. Presently, many companies are offering such value add services to customers, however, again a typical service charge is deducted from the account of customers to avail such services.
Therefore, there is an imperative need to develop a system and method for providing services in a communication network, wherein the users avail the aforementioned services almost free of cost.
WIPO publication number 2008128053 (s053 publication) discloses a system and method for utilizing information exchanged during an initiation phase (i.e., the 'ringing' phase) of a conventional telephone connection request received from a calling device, in order to identify and provide a user with content or enhanced services. The Ό53 publication therefore endeavors to provide TOLL FREE services to the users.
WIPO publication number 2010140167 discloses a method for providing service and information through communication devices comprising the steps of lodging a request made by a requester for any service and / or information solution; configuring the system for capturing the CLI and rejecting the call; finding out the request type and saving it into system; sending the response to the requester as per the data available in the database for the request and request details along with requester details is forwarded to the request handler for handling the request; fulfilling the request placed by the request handler; and recordal of request details, response details, requester details, request handler details along with date and time into a dedicated database server and a system for providing service and information through communication devices adopting the said method.
WIPO publication number 201301 1524 discloses 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 dialling 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.
Moreover, some companies have started offering such value added services through telephony networks using caller ID capture. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that 'miss calls' provide an effective means of communications in many countries, including India. The term 'miss calls' as defined herein refers to call in a communication network, which have failed to complete, probably because of an intentional disconnection by the dialer. Since the miss calls do not incur any charges on the dialers, the users may be able to avail such services based on miss calls free of cost. However, there is a limitation in such services.
Though these solutions provide TOLL FREE services to the users, they do not take care of the financial interest of the telecom operators, who are important stake holders in such communication network. More often than not, such telecom operators do not gain any monetary incentive in such value added services. Therefore, there interest in hosting such services on their network is very limited.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a system and method for providing services in a communication network that incurs minimum or almost zero financial tolls on the customers. Further, there is a need to develop a system and method for providing services in a communication network, which provide considerable revenues to the service operators, and thereby takes their concerns into consideration. There is further need to develop a system and method that is adapted to provide modern day interactive services, content and value added services to the customers. There is also a need to develop a system and method for providing various services in a communication network that is secure and reliable. OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE

Flow diagrams, data flow controllers, and number of various applications running and controlling the various hardware and software's. Some of them are elaborated here like computer hardware, computer software's, customized software, telephone line and other telephony devices. Some more applications like Call Receiving Application, Call Rejecting Application, Call Handing Application, SMS Sending Application, SMS Receiving Application, Calling Application, SMS Rejecting Application, Rejecting call with SMS Application, Call Action Application, Call Application Module, Security System 100 Application, Centralized Database and some more hardware devices like PRI Lines, BRI Lines, GSM & CDMA Phone, Firewall, GSM & CDMA communication bandwidth and etc.
The Master number security Application can run with and without telephony Lines, for example the user can run the application by connecting a CDMA or GSM modem with their own laptop, device and run the application and enjoy the benefits of the master number security service without PRI/BRI lines.
As per embodiment of the present invention a Normal CDMA or GSM Number can be configured as a Master Number the user can avail the benefits of master number from their own telephony number.
PRI Lines - PRI Lines are the group of the fixed number of telephony lines connected to the system 100 for providing the master number service through telephony devices. Every PRI Line contains a number known as DID number that number is configured like that if any request is coming to any number of the PRI Line, and that Line is busy, then the call will not be rejected or waiting state it will be attended by next available line and display the identity of landing number.
As per the embodiment of the present invention the when any call reaches to network against the telephone number and that number is associated with any PRI line, then the system 100 at operator end will check for that particular line, if that is not free then it will check for any free line available for that PRI Line, if any PRI Line is free then the call will be redirected to that line. Through that line the call will and over the PRI Card attached to the server machine, the controller software running at the server will capture CLI/ Reject Call/ Receive Call/Only Send Signal or generate an event related to that for an action. The action will be generated and the control pass to the application, the system 100 will capture the CLI of requester and on the basis on landing number and captured CLI some response will be generated and that response will be delivered to the caller, the response may be text format, voice format or any other format configured in the system 100. While a call land over the PRI card the application engine running in the server will decide what to do with this call, either reject /Ringing/ Receive/ Receive and reject or any other operator that is written in the application. The number of services can be provided on a single number in the master number application. If the user sending requests through SMS then the system 100 accept the message and divide that message into various token and on the basis of token and their values and action written in the application the response will be generated and saved into system 100 as well as send to the caller or requester.

For Example - If a user dials a service number XXXX-XXXX500 then the call will be land over the EPABX and user will listen message as like a caller tune and during this message the end user will provide the extension number through DTMF input, the engine running at EPABX will accept this extension and call will be transferred to concern extension or another number. The system 100 will not accept the call till desired extension user/operator will not receive the call; only after accepting the call the call charges may apply.
In the present invention the system 100 will provide the facility of transferring the phone calls without receiving the calls, in the system 100 the user will dial the telephone number along with extension number, so user doesn't need to provide the extension separately, once a user dials the number in the same manner the call will be placed over the network and through the network it will reach to EPABX, the engine running at EPABX will take out the extension and transfer the call to the desired extension. The call charges will not be applicable till call received by the operator/user. For Example - if a user dials a number XXXX-XXXX500*221. The call will be placed over the network using various MSC and through network and MSC the call will land over the EPABX. After landing the call over the EPABX the system 100 will capture the extension 221 and directly transfer the call the extension 221 , once the call will be received at extension 221 the call charge will be applicable and without receiving no call charges will be applicable. In the entire process the receiver will not be able to know that the call is coming through EPABX or the direct line number has dialed.
In the present invention the user will dial the service number for any query; the call will be placed over the network and through the network the call will land over the IVRS based system 100/EPABX system 100, the engine running at IVRS/EPABX system 100 will either receive the call and user will provide DTMF input or during ringing mode the user will provide DTMF input, the engine will pass this input and user CLI to the user section (user section is the engine where user has configured all the service as per their convenience) and in the response the user section will provide the service query type; on the basis of query type the system 100 will generate the response and send to the user. For Example - if a user dials a service number XXXX- XXXX500 then the call will be placed over the network and after that it will be received or ringing mode; the user provides the DTMF input. The system 100 will capture this DTMF input and User CLI, this captured User CLI and DTMF input will pass to user section; in the user section the system 100 will respond with service type, on the basis of provided DTMF input and captured CLI the system 100 will generate the response through process and send this response as a message to the user. In the user section; if user configured as 1 for "complain for LG XXX product" then the Complain will be lodge for the same and complain number will be send to the user. In the present invention there will be one service number for multiple companies for various services. When a user dials the service number; the call will placed over the network and through network the call will reach to IVRS based system 100 and land over the system 100 through wired/ non-wired telephone lines. The engine running at IVRS based platform will either receive the call or will put over the ringing mode. After receiving the call or during ringing mode the user will provide the DTMF input from their telephone device. The engine running at IVRS based platform will capture this DTMF input and caller CLI and send it to user section engine (this is the section configured by user for DTMF input as per their convenience, this will return the service request type). The user section will provide the Service Request type to the service engine, after getting the service type the service engine will place a request for producing the response against the Service Type, Captured CLI. The process engine will process this request and save the response into database; the message sending engine will run automatically and take care for sending message to the user on their captured CLI, so the user will get desired response on the basis of DTMF input configured in the system 100 as per their convenience.
For Example - If user has configured the system 100 as given below - DMTF Input 1 -> LG TV Complain
DMTF Input 2 - Train PNR Statuses
DMTF Input 3 -> Gas booking
DMTF Input 4 -» Voting
DMTF Input 5 -> Feedbacks DMTF Input 6 Credit Card Uses
Now if a user dials a service number XXXX-XXXX500 then the call will be placed over the network and after that it will be received or ringing mode; the user provides the DTMF input. The system 100 will capture this DTMF input and User CLI as 1, then this DTMF input and captured User CLI will be passed to user engine, the user engine will come with Service Type as - LG TV Complain. After getting the service type the system 100 will send the LG TV Complain as Service Type and user CLI to Process engine, the process engine will this request to complain generating system 100; the complaint generating system 100 will raise a complain request and generate a complain number and this complain number will be passed to process engine, process engine will send this complain number to the user for their LG TV Complain. In the same way if user provides DTMF input as 2 then system 100 will pass this request to user engine, the user engine will retrieve train ticket PNR number and send it to process engine; process engine will check the ticket status and send response to process engine. The process engine will send this ticket status against the saved PNR number to the user on their captured CLI, same process will be applicable to all the other configurations.
In the present invention there will be one service number for multiple companies for various services. When a user dials the service number; the call will placed over the network and through network the call will reach to IVRS based system 100 and land over the system 100 through wired/ non- wired telephone lines. In this step user can provide multiple numbers as a request and they will be treated as separate request. After getting this DTMF input in call received mode/ ringing mode the system 100 will pass this information along with captured CLI to process engine. Process engine will pass this request to the multiple other engines as per process required, and finally get the response. After getting the response the process engine will save this response to the database system 100 and message sending engine will send this response as message to the captured CLI.
