  • Patent number: 11418649
    Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for establishing supplemental communication sessions between a caller and callee of a voice-based telephone call. The supplemental communication sessions may occur via a unique URL generated for a call and provided to a mobile device participating in the telephone call. By accessing the URL, the mobile device user has access to content tailored specifically to the telephone call, such as a dynamically updated indication of a callback time estimate if the mobile device user requested a callback when a representative of a third party is available to participate in a callback.

  • Patent number: 10691164
    Abstract: Device holder assemblies include a first device panel and a second device panel that are configured to selectively couple a first and a second portable computing device to the device holder assembly. The device holder assemblies generally include a spine that is hingedly connected to the first device panel and the second device panel, such that the device holder assembly is repositionable between an open position and a closed position by rotating the first device panel and the second device panel about the spine. The spine may also include a computing entity including driver software that allows the first and second portable computing devices to be operated in conjunction with one another when selectively coupled to the device holder assembly.
