  • Patent number: 11928482
    Abstract: A method includes, for each of a plurality of web resources, receiving, at a communications server, data indicating characteristics of a respective web resource, detecting, based on the received data, that the respective web resource provides functionality for live assistance by a third party content provider through a chat user interface on the respective web resource, and storing, in a database, an entry that indicates that the respective web resource has the functionality. The method includes receiving, from a user, a request to access a particular web resource hosted by a particular third party content provider, determining, based on a stored entry in the database representing the particular web resource, that the web resource provides functionality for live assistance by the particular third party content provider through a particular chat user interface on the web resource, and initiating a chat session between the user and the third party content provider.

  • Patent number: 11756042
    Abstract: A system is described that identifies, based on contextual information associated with a device that is located at a physical location associated with a merchant, a product that a user of the device is at the physical location to purchase. The system executes an autonomous search query for product information that is predicted to assist the user in completing a purchase of the product, from the merchant, at the physical location. The system sends the product information to the device, and for subsequent output. The system determines whether a degree of likelihood that the user will complete the purchase in response to receiving the product information satisfies a likelihood threshold, if not, the system executes a remote assistance module accessed by the device to provide a virtual environment in which a human provides additional information that the user needs to complete the purchase.

  • Patent number: 11475900
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to increasing the scalability of onboarding network resources, such as a digital component, to a voice-based network. The system enables the navigating of and interaction with digital components using voice or speech input and output interfaces on a computing device. The system can receive and processes an input audio signal to identify a digital component. The system enables voice-based interaction with the previously unregistered digital component via the input and output interfaces.

  • Patent number: 10824792
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to providing call context to content providers. A tracker receives a selection of a content item associated with a keyword. The tracker stores, in an impression data structure, tracking data including the keyword. The tracker maps the selected content item to a first virtual number and generates a link there between. The tracker receives a call from a client device to initiate a first communication channel via the first virtual number. The tracker performs a lookup in a database using the first virtual number to identify a second virtual number corresponding to the content provider and to identify the tracking data. The tracker establishes, via the second virtual number, a second communication channel between the client device and a content provider device. The tracker provides the tracking data to the content provider via the second communication channel.
