Abstract: An enhanced routing system determines a service provider best suited to fulfill a user's request to interact and establishes a communication session between the user's client device and a device of the service provider. The enhanced routing system may use user characteristics and behavior to select the service provider. For example, the enhanced routing system receives a request to connect to a customer service system from a user who has recently started a new job and has been accessing a banking application on his mobile phone. The enhanced routing system may determine that a payroll service provider is best suited to fulfill the user's request. For example, the enhanced routing system uses a machine learning model that has been trained on previously fulfilled requests. In this way, the enhanced routing system improves upon systems that continuously prompt the user for information by selecting a service provider without overburdening the user.

Abstract: Sandboxing at a network and workstation level can be used to solve the problem of exposing corporate resources to the “wild west” of the public Internet. The public Internet and the internal corporate network can be separated at a VLAN or Domain level on the internal network. As long as one cannot route to the other either physically or virtually, nether network will be able to communicate with the other. While there are sandboxed solutions, all require the user to switch between environments. Most users find this to be cumbersome and difficult to use. Having a device sandboxed but sharing a common interface provides greater utility and removes some of the tedium around separating the computing environments user interface.
