System and method for providing USSD services using cross-operator number

摘要

A computer-implemented method and system for providing Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) services is provided. The computer-implemented method comprises the steps of configuring a cross-operator USSD module for receiving one or more service requests sent to a cross-operator number by one or more communication devices associated with one or more telecommunication service providers. The cross-operator USSD module further processes the one or more service requests for generating one or more interactive USSD menus based on information retrieved from the one or more service requests and one or more pre-defined rules. Furthermore, the cross-operator USSD module renders the one or more interactive USSD menus on the one or more communication devices, wherein the one or more interactive USSD menus facilitate one or more users of the one or more communication devices to avail the USSD services.

1. A computer-implemented method for providing Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) services using program instructions stored in a memory and executed by a microprocessor, the method comprising the steps of:
configuring a cross-operator USSD module for:
receiving, using the microprocessor, one or more service requests sent to a cross-operator number by one or more communication devices associated with one or more telecommunication service providers, wherein the one or more service requests are received in form of Short Message Service (SMS) messages, the SMS messages being one of: SMS with content and blank SMS;processing, using the microprocessor, the one or more service requests for generating a first interactive USSD menu and a second interactive USSD menu based on information retrieved from the one or more service requests and one or more pre-defined rules, wherein the first interactive USSD menu is generated for the SMS received with the content and is further based on content of the received SMS, the second interactive USSD menu is generated for the received blank SMS; andrendering, using the microprocessor, the first interactive USSD menu and the second interactive USSD menu on the one or more communication devices, the first interactive USSD menu and the second interactive USSD menu facilitate one or more users of the one or more communication devices to avail the USSD services, wherein first interactive USSD menu is different from the second interactive USSD menu.
