Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM TO CONFIGURE ONE OR MORE SERVICES AVAILABLE ON SERVICE PLATFORMTECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to service configuration systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to method and system for configuration of one or more services available on at least one service platform based on requirement of one or more users.BACKGROUND

[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.

[0003] As is generally known, the rapid advancement in communication technology has allowed users to efficiently manage time by executing a certain number of tasks with the help of a “communication device”. For example, a user using his communication device can perform tasks like management of business or enterprise, purchase of one or more products and services, sell of one or more products and services and the like. Further to ease the task of user (may be a vendor or a customer) in selling the products, various entities are developing the products like subscription-based platform or subscription engine which act as a middle-end for the selling platform (e.g., electronic commerce) where all the monitoring and management related tasks can be performed in an efficient manner to optimise the sell and purchase of subscriptions.

[0004] Also, in today’s interconnected world, the vendors across various industries face challenges in efficiently configuring and manging one or more products or one or more services. For instance, in the field of healthcare and Internet of Things (loT), the need for specialized solutions poses a barrier for vendors trying to expand their operations in both the sectors. Several solutions were introduced to mitigate this issue, however, the conventionally available subscription-based engine or platforms only allow the users (e.g., vendors) to sale services or plans or products in a fixedmanner without any option of configuration and thus cannot be customised basis the requirement of the vendors. This leads to a restriction in the scalability of the one or more services or plans. Therefore, the lack of a unified system for configuring and managing diverse offerings hamper interoperability and increases operational overhead for the vendors.

[0005] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art to allow the users (e.g., vendors) to configure the one or more services or one or more plans as per the requirement, which the present disclosure aims to address.OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0083] At step SI, a vendor provides one or more login credentials. At step S2, one or more services (i.e., one or more plans) are configured by the vendor depending upon one or more requirements. Further at step S3, the configured one or more services are available to one or more users (i.e., customers) on a marketplace to subscribe.

[0084] For instance, the present disclosure provides a method and system to deliver a common platform where different kinds of vendors can configure different kinds of products. For instance, in a health care product, vendor may define a plan to sell healthcare services (connected ambulance) but for an IOT product, vendor may sell devices along with various services like Decentralized Know Your Customer KYC (DKYC), etc.

[0085] For another instance, the present disclosure provides a single platform having everything configurable with a user interface

[0102] , Thus, the platform does not only customize different kinds of products but also capable of performing a large amount of analysis. With the help of present disclosure, the vendor does not need to switch to other systems depending upon the product. Further, the solution as provided in the present disclosure may also help to calculate the taxes thereby reducing the task of the vendors. Since different types of vendors have a different view, the system

[0100] is secure to provide access to the target vendor to only view his products. The present disclosure also allows the vendor to create or add a new member who can have access to the modules depending on the role. The present disclosure also captures the company details of the vendor in the same portal which can be edited or changed by the admin only. Further, the present system

[0100] or portal helps in analysing the configured product to determine the demand of the configured product in a particular time interval and location where the product is in demand. The also maintains the accounts of the subscribers who bought those products.

[0086] The present disclosure provides the vendor an option of customising the plan on marketplace. The present disclosure also allows the option of performing one or more Decentralized KYC (DKYC) details. The present disclosure also displays a product category so that if a customer selects a particular category, products belonging to those categories are visible to subscribe. The category selected may be customized. The present disclosure also allows thecustomisation of the billing details of the plan as per the requirement. For instance, an amount may be collected in the Account Code field which defines the account number. Further, various addons or items can be added to the product and can be charged separately. Moreover, depending on the usage of the product / plan a customer can be charged. Also, free trails can be added if required and accordingly the billing details may be captured (optional). In addition, there are certain products that require installation; thus, set-up fees can be charged and can be sent to the account number mentioned or can be skipped. In the platform, each product may have a customizable set of notifications sent to the customer. This set of rules can be modified as per requirement. Further, the custom parameters can be attached to the product, if required. These parameters can be a read only data for user or some data that the user has to input. The present disclosure also provides the custom error pop-ups if a threshold is reached, or some mandatory parameter is not filled or if the asked data is not according to the vendor requirement.

[0087] For another instance, the method

[0200] and system

[0100] to configure one or more service may be implemented by any organization where one or more vendors may configure different kind of products. For achieving this, each product is created by using a unique product code, a logo or one or more banner images. Further, a category is selected for every product such as one or more products falling in entertainment, and one or more products falling in loT etc. Thereafter, a billing amount is entered and a time period for which the bill is to be collected is entered. Also, a term of the plan may be selected. Additionally, one or more add-ons may be grouped to a product and this add-on may be charged separately or this add-on may be removed also. For example, a news service may be added to a music plan. Further one or more items may be added to a plan and charge separately. The difference between an item and add-on is item may be added to one or more products whereas an add on can be respective to a plan. For example, an ambulance service may be attached to a healthcare plan as well as fire brigade plan. The one or more items have one or more separate modules, and the one or more items may be created, updated and deleted also, the one or more items may be disabled if it is no longer in use.

[0088] Additionally, the plan (i.e., service) may be charged based on the usage of the customer via one or more measured units. Also, one or more free trial plans (as one or more services) in predefined intervals are be configured. Further a set-up fees may be added if the service requires installation. In addition to this, the plans / products / services may be created and notified to the one or more vendors. The one or more stages in which the notifications are to be sent is to the one or more vendors may be configured (added or removed) also.

[0089] Further, one or more custom parameters may be added to the one or more services. For instance, if the vendor wants the customer to know some detail, he can add to the plan. If the vendor wants a certain data from the customer, the vendor may add the custom parameter such as age, gender, area. Furthermore, taxes and one or more terms and conditions may be added to the one or more service which may be inclusive or exclusive via the processing unit
