Abstract

The present invention discloses a system and method for providing differential service scheme. The present invention provides differential service to one or more secondary device based on exchange of identification information of every secondary device. Further, the present invention discloses mechanism for establishing connection with a primary device, the secondary device and service provider network by authenticating and binding the secondary device. Furthermore, the present invention discloses mechanism for accounting the secondary devices for availing the differential service based on identification information of the secondary device.

First claim

We claim:

1 . A system for providing differential service scheme, the system comprises:
a primary device for facilitating at least one service to at least one secondary device;
wherein
the service is provided based on information characteristic of at least one of the primary and secondary device;
said information characteristic comprises at least one of a credential information and a subscription information of one of the primary or secondary device; and
said information characteristic is at least a pre-configured and real-time generated information;
a device server for maintaining said at least one of the credential information and subscription information; an operator server for monitoring the credential information of the at least one authenticated secondary device and providing differential dissemination of at least one service via the primary device; and
wherein
at least one of the device server and the operator server authenticates the at least one secondary device based on a notification by the primary device; and
the operator server binds the at least one secondary device based on said authentication for providing differential dissemination of at least one service via the primary device.
an account manager for maintaining record of differential service being availed by the at least one secondary device based on said information characteristic of the at least one the authenticated secondary device.

2 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pre-configured information includes information characteristic of at least one pre-registered secondary device.

3 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the real-time generated information characteristic includes credentials gathered from instantaneous subscription and authentication.

4 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the notification by the primary device updates at least one of the device server and the operator server that the primary device is the service facilitator device.

5 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an information manager adapted to identify said pre-configured information and to generate real-time generated information;

6 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the subscription information includes description of a differential service type subscribed by the secondary device.

7 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the differential service type is one of data, voice call, video call, and combination thereof.

8 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the differential service type is based on subscription information of at least one of the primary device and secondary device.

9 . A method for providing differential service scheme, the method comprising steps of:
facilitating at least one service to at least one secondary device by a primary device;
wherein
the service is provided based on information characteristic of at one of the primary and secondary device;
said information characteristic comprises at least one of a credential information and a subscription information of one of the primary or secondary device; and
said information characteristic is at least a pre-configured and real-time generated information;
maintaining said at least one of the credential information and subscription information by a device server; monitoring the credential information of the at least one authenticated secondary device and providing differential dissemination of at least one service via the primary device by an operator server.
wherein
at least one of the device server and the operator server authenticates the at least one secondary device based on a notification by the primary device; and
the operator server binds the at least one secondary device based on said authentication for providing differential dissemination of at least one service via the primary device.
maintaining record of differential service being availed by the at least one secondary device based on said information characteristic of the at least one the authenticated secondary device by an account manager.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising step of identifying and generating said pre-configured and said real-time generated information by an information manager.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising step of maintaining the record of differential service availed by the at least one secondary device at one of the device server, the operator server, the primary device and combination thereof.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising steps of:
sending the information characteristic of the primary device and secondary device, from the device server to the operator server; and sending the record of differential service availed by the secondary device, from the device server to the operator server.
