BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In traditional telecommunication systems, telephone numbers are assigned sequentially without any consideration for specific patterns or customized number combinations. However, there is a growing demand for personalized and easily memorable telephone numbers that align with specific branding, marketing, or individual requirements. These numbers, often referred to as "vanity numbers," typically consist of specific patterns, words, or phrases that are easy to remember and relate to a particular product, service, or organization.
[0003] Various approaches have been employed to manage and allocate vanity numbers in the past. These methods often involved manual processes, where the telecommunication service provider had to manually map and assign the desired vanity numbers to customers. These manual methods were time-consuming, prone to errors, and lacked scalability and flexibility.
[0004] Therefore, there exists a need for an automated system and method that enables efficient management and allocation of vanity numbers according to predefined rules to segregate the numbers into different class of service thereby providing a seamless and user-friendly experience for both customers and telecommunication service providers.

[0057] In order for the system (108) to segregate the UINs available for the plurality of users of the network (106), the processor (202) includes a policy unit (216), a classification module (218), a segregating module (220), a receiving module (222), a IM module (224) and a trained model (226). The policy unit (216), the classification module (218), the segregating module (220), the receiving module (222), the IM module (224) and the trained model (226) may be implemented as a combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the processor (202). In the examples described herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processor (202) may be processor-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the hardware for the processor (202) may comprise a processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the memory (204) may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processor. In such examples, the system (108) may comprise the memory (204) storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the instructions, or the memory (204) may be separate but accessible to the system (108) and the processing resource. In other examples, the processor (202) may be implemented by the electronic circuitry.
[0058] In order for the system (108) to segregate the UINs available for the plurality of users of the network (106), the policy unit (216), the classification module (218), the segregating module (220), the receiving module (222), the IM module (224) and trained model (226) are communicably coupled to each other. In an example embodiment, the policy unit (216) defines a plurality of policies for a set of UINs (e.g., MSISDN number allotted to the user or the like) using the trained model (226). The plurality of policies and rules are used for getting the custom number. The plurality of policies and rules are used for getting "vanity numbers," typically consist of specific patterns, words, or phrases that are easy to remember and relate to a particular product, service, or organization. The set of UINs includes assigned numbers and unassigned numbers. The UIN is usable with the UE (102) associated with the user to access the network. The trained model (226) can be, for example, but not limited to, linear regression models, logistic regression models, random forests models, decision trees models, large language models or the like. The plurality of policies are defined by the service provider. In an example, the plurality of policies are defined based on a need of user in various sectors (e.g., branding, marketing, individual requirements or the like)
[0059] The classification module (218) creates a classification for the set of UINs based on the plurality of policies, where a UIN is associated with at least one class. In an example, the classification may be a number, often referred to as "vanity numbers," typically consist of specific patterns, words, or phrases that are easy to remember and relate to the particular product, the service, or the organization.
[0060] The segregating module (220) segregates the UINs into one or more classes based on the plurality of policies. The receiving module (222) receives the request for the UIN from a user. Further, the classification module (218) determines the class for the user based on one or more attributes of the user. The one or more attributes are related to the custom number. Further, the classification module (218) retrieves a subset of UINs associated with the class of the user. The subset of UINs are related to the one or more attributes. Further, the classification module (218) selects at least one unassigned UIN from the subset of UINs based on the one or more attributes of the user.
[0061] The IM module (224) allocates the at least one unassigned UIN to the user. The database (214) stores the plurality of policies, the one or more classes, the segregated UINs, and one or more attributes of each user associated with the network (106).
[0062] In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the IM module (224), may be configured to provide the user, or enable the user to select at least one un-assigned 10 digit MSISDN from the class comprising the plurality of segregated un-assigned 10-digit MSISDN numbers. The un-assigned 10-digit numbers may be provided based attributes associated with the user based or attributes assigned to the user. Further the plurality of segregated un-assigned 10-digit MSISDN numbers may be segregated into the specific class based on pre-defined policies.
[0063] The IM module (224), upon receiving the request from the user, may communicably connect with the trained model (e.g., AI/ML module) (226). The trained model (226) may identify the class for the user based on the attributes associated with the user. The attributes may be assigned to the user based on the policy defined by the policy unit (216). Further upon identification of the class for the user, the trained model (226) will map the class of the user with the class of un-assigned segregated plurality of 10-digits MSISDN numbers.
[0064] In as aspect of the invention, the IM module (224), may be configured to capture all the un-assigned 10-digit MSISDN number and further use the trained model (226) to segregate the un-assigned 10-digit MSISDN numbers into the plurality of classes. The classes for segregated un-assigned 10-digit numbers may be based on the policy defined in the policy unit (216).
[0065] Further the plurality of classes of the un-assigned segregated numbers may be stored in the database (214). The classes along with the number may be retrieved by the IM module (224), upon receiving the request from the user.
[0066] Further in an aspect of the present invention, the server (104) using the IM module (224) may be configured to allocate, services or devices based on the classification of the user based on the attributes associated with the users and the policy defined in the policy unit (216). Further, the IM module (224), hosted in the server (104), may be configured to segregate un-assigned 10-digit Mobile Station Integrated Services Digital Network (MSISDN) number based on the defined policy. Further upon receiving the request from a user having the necessary attributes, the IM module (224) may be provided with an option to select from the segregated un-assigned 10-digit MSISDN numbers.
