  • Patent number: 9948583
    Abstract: System and methods are provided for receiving identification information from remote user devices associated with users. The identification information serves to obtain corresponding stored user profiles. Primary communication channels are generated for each user based upon their profiles. Each such primary channel is limited to communication with, and facilitates electronic communication between, a single corresponding enterprise data source, and users. For each respective primary channel in a subset of the primary channels of a first user, a corresponding plurality of sub-channels is generated based upon their profile. Each such plurality of sub-channels forms a corresponding hierarchical tree with the corresponding primary channel as root node and the sub-channels as child nodes.

  • Patent number: 9851874
    Abstract: Techniques for generating and providing personalized interactive tours of various features of a webpage are described. According to various embodiments, it may be determined that a device associated with a user is accessing a webpage including various webpage features. Personalized experience scores corresponding to the webpage features may be calculated. Each of the personalized experience scores may indicate a current experience level of the user with the corresponding webpage feature. Thereafter, a specific webpage feature may be identified, where the personalized experience scores indicate that the user has a relatively low current experience level with that specific webpage feature. A user-selectable tour entry user interface element may be displayed on the webpage, wherein the tour entry user interface element includes a link to an interactive tour describing the specific webpage feature.

  • Patent number: 9641470
    Abstract: System and methods are provided for receiving identification information from remote user devices associated with users. The identification information serves to obtain corresponding stored user profiles. Users are engaged with pre-existing primary communication channels for each user based upon their profiles. Each such primary channel facilitates electronic communication between a corresponding enterprise data source and users. For each respective primary channel in a subset of the primary channels of a first user, a corresponding plurality of sub-channels is generated based upon their profile. A sub-channel enables secure bidirectional communication between (i) the remote user device associated with a first user and (ii) the enterprise data source associated with the primary channel to which the sub-channel is associated.
