Description

MOBILE PHONE WITHOUT SIM CARD

FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of mobile phone technology, and particularly relates to mobile phone without SIM card.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] A mobile phone, known as a cell phone in North America, is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, and, therefore, mobile telephones are called cellular telephones or cell phones, in North America. In addition to telephony, 2000s-era mobile phones support a variety of other services, such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, video games, and digital photography. Mobile phones offering only those capabilities are known as feature phones; mobile phones which offer greatly advanced computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

[0003] GSM feature phones require a small microchip called a Subscriber Identity

Module or SIM card, in order to function. The SIM card is approximately the size of a small postage stamp and is usually placed underneath the battery in the rear of the unit. The SIM securely stores the service-subscriber key (IMSI) and the Ki used to identify and authenticate the user of the mobile phone. The SIM card allows users to change phones by simply removing the SIM card from one mobile phone and inserting it into another mobile phone or broadband telephony device, provided that this is not prevented by a SIM lock. The first SIM card was made in 1991 by Munich smart card maker Giesecke and Devrient for the Finnish wireless network operator Radiolinja. A hybrid mobile phone can hold up to four SIM cards, with a phone having an IMEI per SIM Card. SIM and R-UIM cards may be mixed together to allow both GSM and CDMA networks to be accessed. From 2010 onwards, such phones became popular in emerging markets, and this was attributed to the desire to obtain the lowest on-net calling rate. All GSM phones use a SIM card to allow an account to be swapped among devices. Some CDMA devices also have a similar card called an R-UIM.

[0004] However, almost all mobile phones available in the market needs to insert a

SIM card, and such SIM only be used with the phone as non-integral part of the phone has the following defects:

(1) Mobile manufactures needs to set up one or more mobile phone SIM card slots to place the one or more SIM cards and a substantial amount of space of the phone occupied for the slots;

(2) Non-integrated with the phone's, SIM cards can easily get damaged or lost, and hence is extremely inconvenient to carry them or keep them safe;

(3) With regards to the placement of the SIM card, if often the user replaces the SIM card and if the SIM card has poor contact with the body (placement), it can affect SIM card and can also hamper to establish proper communication with the network; and

(4) When the phone is lost, thieves can simply remove the SIM card and replace it with another SIM card for usage.

(5) Also, currently every mobile phone today work only with SIM card either CDMA/GSM and there is a limitation with SIM slots in each mobile, hence users can choose or use only limited networks in the single mobile device and there is no chance to increase the mobile networks without removing/replacing the old SIM card from the mobile device.

[0005] Also, as per the information on the link https://whatphone.com.au/esim- plans/esims-and-what-they-mean-for-the-australian-market/, eSIMs also known as soft SIM are available.. An eSIM is basically an’embedded’ or‘electronic’ SIM card which is built into a mobile phone, smartphone or tablet device at the point of manufacture. However only single network can be operated using eSIMs.

[0006] Based on the above defects, there exists a dire need for an integrated mobile phone with no SIM card slots and no SIM cards in the mobile phones. Further, such integrated mobile phone with no SIM card slots and no SIM cards needs to operate in a similar manner as that of the conventional mobile phones having SIM cards. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The present disclosure relates to the field of mobile phone technology, and particularly relates to mobile phone without SIM card.

[0008] Almost all call enabled mobile phones in the market needs to insert a SIM card upon insertion of which only mobile phones can be used for calling purposes. However, such phones has the following defects: (1) need exists to set up a mobile phone SIM card slot while manufacturing to place/insert SIM card, and some even set the two SIM card slot, in which the phone is occupied with additional space; (2) SIM cards are easily damage, lost, and extremely inconvenient; (3) if often some user replaces the SIM card, and while re-insertion the SIM card is in poor contact with the body/motherboard, it may affect working of the SIM card; and (4) when the phone is lost, thieves can simply remove the SIM card and replace it with another SIM card. Based on the above defects, a need for an integrated and mobile phone with no SIM card is felt.

[0009] In order to solve these and above recited shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a non-SIM card phones (phones without SIM card) that address existing mobile phone SIM card slot accounting external space problem, and solve the theft of a mobile phone handset to prevent information leakage problem, further also effectively avoid the problem of theft of mobile phones.

[0010] Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a SIM-less mobile phone (mobile phone without SIM card or SIM card slot). The mobile phone is integrated with Mobile device ID which is unique (world- wide) and can’t be replaced or modified in any ways but can be read from the mobile device. The manufacturer generates the mobile device ID at the time of manufacturing the device and will be printed the same on the mobile device and or on manual. Whenever user wants to choose network operator, the user can simply provide the mobile device ID along with the required information needs by the operator.

[0011] Once the operator approves the network connection with the mobile device ID, automatically mobile device gets the associated network signal and registers the operator information into the phone. In the same way user can choose N number of network operation without worrying about SIM card slots. If user wants to close the particular network operator then user should contact the network operator for the same. Once the network operator deactivate this mobile device ID from their database then the signal will go off automatically from the mobile device and the network information from device will be deleted by the network operator without doing any additional steps by the user.

[0012] During network registration, the user/consumer will need to input the access code to access the dedicated memory space to be utilized by the network operator representative. This added layer of security will provide the user the assurance that the network operator representative just has access to only dedicated memory space of network registration folder not the entire phone. This also reduces the chance of any misuse of the device or the phone data.

[0013] This access code is provided by the manufacturer and not printed on the device. It is received with the device and only user knows it.

[0014] If the user lost the mobile device then the user can contact any of the registered network operator to trace the phone using the device ID and also the network operator can block the registered network by using device id.

[0015] The one who stole the mobile device cannot register with the network operator, the already register networks knows that the phone is stolen/lost or not with original owner and the other unregistered network operator got to know from central repository of mobile IDs. The registered network operator can trace out the location of the mobile device for investigation purposes and also inform the original owner and the authorities when the stolen/ theft mobile ID came for registration again.

[0016] The mobile phone without the SIM card is internally integrated with a microprocessor, a program memory, a work memory, a data memory and a serial communication unit which realizes functions of a real SIM card and is in an integrated structure with the phone body; the mobile phone without the SIM card is provided with a mobile phone number obtaining unit which is connected with an operator server, and the corresponding operator server is provided with a mobile phone number allocation unit; the mobile phone without the SIM card is provided with a mobile phone alarming unit which is connected with the operator server, and the corresponding operator server is provided with a mobile phone number saving unit. The mobile phone without the SIM card not only solves the problem that the existing SIM card slot occupies the external space of the mobile phone, but also solves the problem of information leakage of the stolen mobile phone, and further avoids the theft problem of the mobile phone efficiently. [0017] Various objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, along with the accompanying drawing figures in which like numerals represent like features.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present disclosure relates to the field of mobile phone technology, and particularly relates to mobile phone without SIM card.

[0023] In order to solve the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a non-SIM card phones that address existing mobile phone SIM card slot accounting external space problem, and solve the theft of a mobile phone handset to prevent information leakage problem, further also effectively avoid the problem of theft of mobile phones.

[0024] Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a SIM-less mobile phone (mobile phone without SIM card or SIM card slot). The mobile phone is integrated with Mobile device ID which is unique (world- wide) and can’t be replaced or modified in any ways but can be read from the mobile device. The manufacturer generates the mobile device ID at the time of manufacturing the device and will be printed the same on the mobile device and or on manual. Whenever user wants to choose network operator, the user can simply provide the mobile device ID along with the required information needs by the operator. [0025] Once the operator approves the network connection with the mobile device ID, automatically mobile device gets the associated network signal and registers the operator information into the phone. In the same way user can choose N number of network operation without worrying about SIM card slots. If user wants to close the particular network operator then user should contact network operator for the same. Once the network operator deactivate this mobile device ID from their database then the signal will go off automatically from the mobile device and the device will be deleted the network operator information from the mobile device without doing any additional steps by the user. FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary implementation of the proposed invention and dynamic network connections (102) i.e., a plurality of network connections (signals) without the requirement of any SIM card is visible on the mobile phone upon implementation of the proposed invention. In an example, FIG. 1 shows multiple network signals which represent multiple network operators without any SIM cards.

[0026] The mobile phone without the SIM card is internally integrated with a microprocessor, a program memory, a work memory, a data memory and a serial communication unit which realizes functions of a real SIM card and is in an integrated structure with the phone body; the mobile phone without the SIM card is provided with a mobile phone number obtaining unit which is connected with an operator server, and the corresponding operator server is provided with a mobile phone number allocation unit; the mobile phone without the SIM card is provided with a mobile phone alarming unit which is connected with the operator server, and the corresponding operator server is provided with a mobile phone number saving unit. The mobile phone without the SIM card not only solves the problem that the existing SIM card slot occupies the external space of the mobile phone, but also solves the problem of information leakage of the stolen mobile phone, and further avoids the theft problem of the mobile phone efficiently.

[0027] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary proposed mobile phone in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, the proposed mobile phone (200) includes a motherboard (202), a display (204), and a battery (206). The mobile phone (200) is without a subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM).

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment, the motherboard (202) comprises any or combination of process chip, memory chips, input/output (I/O) chips and expansion slots for connecting peripherals. In another exemplary embodiment, said motherboard (202) comprises any or combination of an antenna, a baseband, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a wireless fidelity (WIFI), a Global Positioning System (GPS), a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a Random-access memory (RAM), a Read-only memory (ROM).

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, the motherboard (202), said display (204), and said battery (206) are enclosed in a housing/enclosure (208).

[0030] In an exemplary embodiment, the mobile phone comprises a camera (210) and one or more sensors (212).

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, the mobile phone comprises an International

Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) (214) or a unique ID (214).

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, the mobile phone comprises a memory module

(218) configured to store information associated with one or more cellular network or one or more network service providers.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, the motherboard, while connecting to one or more cellular network or one or more network service providers, is configured to transmit an International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) or a unique ID and at least one supporting data to said one or more cellular network or said one or more network service providers.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, the said mobile device is configured to connect with a plurality of networks selected from said one or more cellular network or said one or more network service providers.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the motherboard, while connecting to one or more cellular network or one or more network service providers, is configured to transmit, in real-time an International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) or a unique ID and at least one supporting data to said one or more cellular network or said one or more network service providers.

[0036] In an example, the most important part of a cell phone is the motherboard, which holds many important chips, such as Process Chip, Memory chips, Input/ Output (I/O) chips and the expansion slots for connecting peripherals. Some chips are soldered onto the motherboard (permanent), and some are removable (so they can be upgraded).

[0037] In an example, RAM is a memory where software resides while it is running, along with the data it is using. Both OS and application software use RAM. RAM is a type of memory that is very fast, but is volatile, meaning all information is lost when electric power is removed. For this reason, it is useful only for temporary storage of data that requires fast access. A device will typically have RAM and some kind non-volatile memory to store a copy of all software and data that needs to be kept the device is powered off or that specific software is not running. Devices with more RAM can run more complex software and/or more applications at one time. Common RAM examples: 512M, 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, 4GB.

[0038] In an example, ROM is a memory that stores data long-term. This memory is non-volatile, meaning it keeps data even when the devices are powered off. This memory stores user content, as well as a copy of all software so it can be loaded into RAM when needed. ROM is better known as flash memory. "Read only" is actually a misnomer that has carried over from older devices that had an OS and applications that where generally fixed and therefore stored in truly "read-only" memory. Modem devices use storage memory that easily and frequently changed, but the term has remained. Common ROM examples: 2GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB.

[0039] In an example, CPU is the chip on the motherboard that acts as the" cell phone's brain". The CPU is also known as the processor or microprocessor. It does calculations, and coordinates the other motherboard components. A better and/or faster processor allows apps to run faster. Raw processor speed is measured in MHz or GHz. (lGHz=l000MHz). However some processors are more powerful than others, so even if two different processors both run at lGHz, if one is more powerful, it may run software apps faster.

[0040] In an example, GPU is the part of a device's circuitry that handles the display and animation of visual elements. It may be integrated into the main processor (CPU) or it may be a separate chip. A better and/or faster GPU allows a phone to display video and complex game animation more smoothly.

[0041] In an example, GPS is a global satellite-based system for determining precise location on earth. When used with compatible apps and services, and with the user's permission, it can also transmit location information to those apps and services. This is called LBS. for example, a location- enabled phone book service might tell you where the nearest Chinese restaurant is, without requiring manual entry of a zip code, etc.

[0042] In an example, Wi-Fi is a WLAN technology. It primarily provides short- range wireless high-speed data connections between mobile data devices (such as laptops, PDAs or phones) and nearby Wi-Fi access points (special hardware connected to a wired network and the internet). Wi-Fi is generally much faster than data technologies operating over the cellular network like GPRS, EDGE, lxRTT, HSDPA, and EV-DO. Wi-Fi several versions: 802.1 l.g, 802.1 Lb, 802.11h, etc. [0043] In an example, Bluetooth is a short- range wireless technology used to create

PANs (personal area networks) among your devices and with other nearby devices. Bluetooth allows you to leave your phone in your pocket, while talking on your phone with a Bluetooth headset- with no wires. You can also exchange contact or scheduling information with other Bluetooth- enable phones nearby, or send such information to a nearby Bluetooth-enable printer. Usual Bluetooth version: 3.0, 4.0.

[0044] In an example, GPRS a packet- switched technology that enables data communications. GPRS is used for various data applications on phones, including wireless internet (WAP), MMS, and software that connects to the internet. Basically, any network connection that is not voice or text messaging uses a data connection like GPRS. GPRS offers a tenfold increase in data speed over previous (circuit- switched) technologies, up to H5kbit/s( in theory). Typical real- world speeds are around 30-40 kbps.

[0045] In an example, most phones with "GPS" in fact use A-GPS technology. The

"A" stands for assisted, and means that phone relies on the network for help in determining location. Although the phone does receive GPS signals directly from the satellites, it can't determine actual location without help from the cell network.

[0046] In an example, baseband is a device (a chip or part if a chip) in a network interface that manages all the radio functions (all functions that require an antenna) baseband of frequencies produced by a transducer, such as a microphone telegraph key, or other signal- initiating device, prior to initial modulation. In wireless voice, the sound frequencies of the voice, before it is encoded and transmitted.

[0047] In an example, antenna is a physical device for sending or receiving radio signals. Antennas come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some wireless phones contain internal antennas, while others have antennas that extend above the phone. The size and shape of an antenna is carefully designed and tuned to the type of radio wave being transmitted and received. In another example, LDS technology uses a laser beam that creates the antenna pattern on the surface of complex 3D parts molded from an LDS resin. The entire production process - consisting of molding, laser structuring, and metallization - is fast and easy to set up. The key advantages of this technology include: greater flexibility for design changes and the possibility of creating antenna structures on a 3D surface. These features allow customers to achieve a higher level of product integration with fewer components and lower costs. Molex is the market leader in LDS technology with over 20 million LDS antennas produced so far. [0048] In an example, the Screen of Mobile Phone or a Smartphone is one of the key features, user are concerned with when buying a new mobile device. Display screen is the main hardware that user can interact with the software and do various things. Display screen has been evolved and today humans reached the milestone of making flexible screens. There are lot of display types used in mobile phones.

[0049] In an example, protector glass covers over the mobile phone's display panel and touch panel, for protecting them. Generally, the protector glass's thickness is between 0.5mm and 2.0 mm, for consideration of size, weight and touch feeling and transmittance conditions. In an example, the touch- screens are typically found on larger displays, in phones with integrated PDA features. Most are designed to work with either your finger or a special stylus. Tapping a specific point on the display will activate the virtual button or features displayed at that location on the display. It may be appreciated that a touchscreen is an input device normally layered on the top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system. When touching the image button on the screen, the touch feedback system of the screen will drive a variety of connecting devices based on pre-coding program to replace the mechanical pointing panel, and finally reveal lively video and audio effect via liquid crystal display panel. In an example, LCD short for liquid crystal display, a type of display used in digital and mobile devices (as proposed mobile phone). LCD displays utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. LCD is one of the major display technologies used in mobile phones. LCD display has low energy requirements and are generally easy to read. LCD panels generally consist of a grid of extremely tiny square areas called "pixels". Each pixel can be controlled to allow light to pass through, block it, or allow just a certain amount of light through. In a full- color LCD, each pixel contains at least three sub pixels (generally red, green and blue) that can be individually controlled. For mobile phone screen, the screen material determines the phone display effect in a large part. If categories in screen materials, there are two mainstream smartphone screens currently: One is the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the other is Organic Light - Emitting Diode (OLED).

[0050] In an example, using the double glue to fix the four sides of touch panel and display panel. This method is currently used by most of the display screen. Its advantages lie in the simple manufacturing and low cost, but due to there is an air layer between the display panel and touch panel, the display effect is greatly reduced after the light refraction. In another example, full lamination is also called direct bonding, laminating display panel and touch sensor with water cement or optical cement in non-air gap way.

[0051] In an example, apart from above components, the proposed phone can include a camera that is capable to take still picture or video by using the camera. The pictures and/or video then can be sent wirelessly, or sometimes associated with phone book entries and used for picture ID on incoming calls. The phones listed with the“camera” feature on this site have a built-in camera. Some other phones do not include a camera, but are designed to work with camera. Camera quality is affected by many factors, including resolution and lens focus type (fixed or auto focus). Fixed focus, auto focus and optical image stabilization cameras are the most common cell phone cameras.

[0052] In an example, it may be appreciated that, the first thing we see when we are looking at the device is phone housing, and that's what makes the first impression about the gadget. And to make it as more attractive as possible, manufacturers are driven not only by design solutions but by the use of different materials as well. Face shell is the basic structure of a cell phone. Phone's camera, handset, buttons and infrared sensor need to embed in the face shell for fixing. Polycarbonate is a typical material used widely in mobile phone shell. Bottom shell is the basic structure of a cell phone as the mobile face shell. Bottom shell inlays face shell for fixing the outer components of mobile phone. Mobile phone manufactures in accordance with the requirements for appearance design take different materials to make the back cover. There are few common back covers— 2.5D non-removable cover, metal non-removable cover, plastic removable cover, etc. nowadays, many mobile manufacture are beginning to set foot in back cover customized service for production differentiation. Commonly, there are two most-used materials types for making the mobile phone housing: Plastic and Metal. However, as the development of mobile phone, there are more and more synthetic substances materials used in the phone casing, such as ceramic, wood and fabrics, etc. Metal has long been associated with premium high-end design and style on a mobile phone. Feeling rigid and expensive, a metal case gives a phone that desired premium feel in your hand. To that extent, many smart phone manufacturers have chosen to use metal on their design-conscious phones.

[0053] In an example, the battery of the proposed mobile phone can be, an electrochemical cell (or enclosed and protected material) that can be charged electrically to provide a static potential for power or released electrical charge when needed. Without a battery, mobile phones don't start to work, not even for other operations. Depending on the design and chemistry of your battery, you may see the mobile phone battery sold under different nominal "voltages". Li-Polymer (Lithium polymer) and li-Ion (lithium Ion) are the two types of battery.

[0054] In an example, besides the main mobile phone components introduced in the

Mobile Structure Introduction, there are more than six hundreds other elements in a cell phone. For example, OIS (Optical image stabilization), OS (Operating System), IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identifier), Accelerometer, Infrared.

[0055] The Infrared is a line-of-sight wireless technology that uses a beam of invisible light to transmit information. This means that the infrared ports of both devices must be nearby and aimed at each other for a connection to succeed. The Accelerometer is an electronic component that measures tilt and motion. A device with an accelerometer knows what angle it is being held at. One common use in phones it to detect whether the phone is upright or sideways and automatically rotate the graphics on the screen accordingly. Another common use is controlling games and other applications by moving or shaking the phone. The IMEI is a l5-digit number (composed of four parts) that uniquely identifies an individual wireless device. The IMEI is automatically transmitted by the phone when the network asks for it. A network operator might request the IMEI to determine if a device is in disrepair, stolen or to gather statistics on fraud or faults. The OS is“core” software that controls the basic operation of an electronic device. Examples include Mac OS for computer, and android or IOS for phones. More advanced OS platforms for phones, such as IOS, windows phone, and android, allows full software applications to run on tops of the OS, such as games, organizer applications, and communication applications. Standardized OS platform also provide a mostly consistent user interface (UI) across devices from different hardware manufacturers. The OIS is a technology for camera that physically moves the camera lens to compensate for camera movement. Anytime a camera takes a photo, the image is captured over a period of time. That period of time is extremely short when working with ample light. But in low light, the period of time is usually longer; often long enough that even the smallest hand movement can blur the photo. So while OIS can be used for all photos, its most useful in low light. OIS uses a tiny gyroscope to detect those small hand movements and direct small actuators (motors) to move the lens in real time, in the opposite direction, to compensate. This keeps the image steady for the camera sensor even though the camera has moved. [0056] As shown in Fig. 3, the working model of the proposed simless phone.

[0057] The various steps included in registering the network connection with the network operator.

[0058] Step 1: The user/ customer take the mobile device along with the required identity documents and handover to the network operator including simless mobile device.

[0059] Step 2: The network operator connects the mobile device with wired or wireless mode to another network registration device and reads the device ID (IMEI) and submit/upload the customer related information along with the device ID to the network server.

[0060] Step 3: Once the customer information is accepted by the network server, the server verify the customer information by connecting with National database of identity, if required.

[0061] Step 4: Once the network operator gets the successful message from the server then the operator transmits the network operator related data/information into the user’s mobile device through a particular network hardware device. While transmitting the data to the mobile first the folder will be created under the dedicated network operators memory space (NOMS) and in the folder the required network operator files will be stored in the encrypted format. Once the transfer is done the folder will be locked and no one can see or modify the network operator folder once it is locked.

[0062] Each folder represents the each connection in the dedicated space for the network operators.

[0063] Once the information is loaded and linked with the operator’s server then the user can network signal instantly.

[0064] If the user wants to disconnect from any of the network operator, then the user should take the mobile device to the operator. The operator connects this mobile device to the dedicated network hardware though wired/wireless mode. Now the operator will search for the particular connection folder which user wants to disconnect. Once it is identified and decrypted, the network operator connects the server and delinks the mobile device id from the server. Once the operator gets the successful server response then finally the network operator will delete the saved information from the user’s mobile device permanently. Once the information is deleted from the mobile device then the network signal will go off automatically. [0065] During network registration, the user/consumer will need to input the access code to access the dedicated memory space to be utilized by the network operator representative. This added layer of security will provide the user the assurance that the network operator representative just has access to only dedicated memory space of network registration folder not the entire phone. This also reduces the chance of any misuse of the device or the phone data.

[0066] This access code is provided by the manufacturer and not printed on the device. It is received with the device and only user knows it.

[0067] If the user lost the mobile device then the user can contact any of the registered network operators to trace the phone using the device ID and also the network operator can block the registered network by using device id.

[0068] The one who stole the mobile device cannot register with the network operator, the already register networks knows that the phone is stolen/lost or not with original owner and the other unregistered network operator got to know from central repository of mobile IDs. The registered network operator can trace out the location of the mobile device for investigation purposes and also inform the original owner and the authorities when the stolen/ theft mobile ID came for registration again.

[0069] Although the proposed system has been elaborated as above to include all the main modules, it is completely possible that actual implementations may include only a part of the proposed modules or a combination of those or a division of those into sub-modules in various combinations across multiple devices that can be operatively coupled with each other, including in the cloud. Further the modules can be configured in any sequence to achieve objectives elaborated. Also, it can be appreciated that proposed system can be configured in a computing device or across a plurality of computing devices operatively connected with each other, wherein the computing devices can be any of a computer, a laptop, a smartphone, an Internet enabled mobile device and the like. All such modifications and embodiments are completely within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0070] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term“coupled to” is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other or in contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms “coupled to” and “coupled with” are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms“coupled to” and“coupled with” are also used euphemistically to mean“communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.

[0071] Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms“comprises” and“comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
