Method For Hotspot Based Calling And Messaging In Zero Balance Mobile Phones.

Abstract: The objective behind this system/process is to solve problem of zero balance in mobile phones as at times, we often face zero balance problem and seek others mobile phone to make calls or send messages. Therefore, this system on chip will solve this problem by creating a wireless network/hotspot in which the seeker will request the helper via free text message over Wi-Fi, then the helper will provide the desired service to the seeker. Also the helper acts as a router here, between the seeker and the user to which the seeker wants to communicate. The system merges the cellular network and the wireless network to facilitate this communication, hence we are proposing a chip that facilitates one user to make use of balance of other user to make calls and send SMS and this project facilitates the users to use other applications simultaneously on their smart phone and this system/process also provides security and privacy to both users.

Call management protocol for insufficient credit A method and system for operating a telephone service are disclosed, in which callers with insufficient credit or network airtime are able to contact a call recipient. The network monitors call attempts from callers to identify call attempts from callers with insufficient credit or airtime to make a call. When such a call attempt is detected, a call request is transmitted to the intended recipient of the call, to notify the recipient of the call attempt. The notification may take the form of an in-call notification if the call recipient is on-line, or an SMS or voicemail message if the recipient is off-line. The method and system permit individuals who otherwise would not be able to access the network to indicate to a call recipient that they have attempted to contact the call recipient. The call recipient can then contact the would be caller at his/her discretion. Starscriber Corp 2003-05-08

Figure 1 illustrates overview of the system. Figure 2 illustrates overall working of the system.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
In figure 1, the architecture shows 3 smart phones; say A, with zero balance, B with sufficient main balance, and C that A wants to communicate with. In this system, User A and User B are equipped with the chip in their smart phones and a supporting application for user interface. The seeker will request to turn on the hotspot and provide service after the authentication. User A will send a request message specifying the type of service, viz. text message or phone call. The helper then receives the message and provides service accordingly and acts as a router between these two users for successful communication.
User A and user B are connected through Wi-Fi network. User B and User C are connected through Cellular network.
Figure 2 represents the overall working of the system in which mobile phone A and B are equipped with reconfigurable chip and mobile phone C is with/without chip. Initially, secure wireless connection through hotspot is established between mobile phone A and B using. Mobile phone A sends Caller ID of mobile phone C in case of calling and for

sending SMS, Caller ID and encrypted message will be send to mobile phone B. Then
mobile phone B calls mobile phone C using cellular network. Mobile phone B acts as the
router between mobile phone A and C which sends and receives voices to mobile phone
A and C. For sending message, mobile phone A sends encrypted message to mobile
phone B and then in background while sending message to mobile phone C message will
be decrypted. After successful call establishment and message send the hotspot
connection will be turned off.
Reference numeral 1 relates to mobile phone A(seeker) with chip.
Reference numeral 2 relates mobile phone B (helper) with chip.
Reference numeral 3 relates to User C, whom the user wants to communicate with and is
with/without chip.
Reference numeral 4 relates to the secure wireless connection establishment via hotspot
between mobile phone A and B.
Reference numeral 5 relates to calling facility in which Caller ID of mobile phone C will
be sent to mobile phone B.
Reference numeral 6 relates to call establishment between mobile phone B and C using
