Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method and system for streaming multimedia content available at a content server with a determinate bandwidth to multiple clients. A client agent provided on each of the clients requests a server agent on a content server for multimedia content. First connections are established to the content server by a predefined number of first clients from the requesting clients using the client agent. The predefined number is determined by the bandwidth available at the content server. The server agent then transfers the multimedia content to the first clients by utilizing the first connections. The server agent identifies the first clients for availability of a predetermined bandwidth for streaming multimedia content to second clients. Second connections are then established between the identified first clients and the second clients. The identified first clients then transfer the multimedia content to the second clients by utilizing the second connections.

Abstract: The method and system disclosed herein provides a method and system for enabling users to conduct financial transactions with voice enabled merchant devices. The overall system comprises of a merchant device operated by the merchant, electronic handheld devices operated by users, i.e. customers, and a banking server that is in communication with the merchant device. The merchant device guides the user in conducting financial transactions. The merchant device comprises of a radio frequency identification (RFID) unit, a biometric identification unit and a voice module.

Abstract: A method and system for receiving, processing and distributing SMS and MMS messages, which consists of a message processor and virtual or desktop clients. The message processor comprises of a rule processing agent that intelligently analyses incoming messages using a set of predetermined logic rules and directs the dispatching agent to deliver the final processed message to the recipients using one or more communication channels such as SMS, MMS, pop up message, e-mail, fax or phone call. The message processing system consists of virtual secretaries that are customizable for each user of the message processing system, each virtual secretary contains a set of user specific processing rules that accepts the user's request and applies its own set of processing rules, conducts a set of processing actions, and if required invokes the message processor to further carry rule processing or uses the dispatching agent to distribute the message.
