  • Patent number: 10581773
    Abstract: A user is prompted to select a social site for generating a voice enabled social artifact. A user selection of the social site is received. Responsive to receiving the user selection, information associated with an account of the user on the social site is obtained. The user is prompted to select a social artifact associated with the social site for voice enablement. A user selection of the social artifact is received. The selected social artifact is configured for voice enablement. The selected social artifact is displayed on the social site with an indication that the selected social artifact is voice enabled.

  • Patent number: 10368211
    Abstract: Usage data associated with a user of a telephonic device is accessed by a remote learning engine. A service or a product that is likely to be of interest to the user is identified by the remote learning engine based on the accessed usage data. A recommended voice bundle application for the user is determined by the remote learning engine based on the accessed usage data, the recommended voice bundle application being a voice application that, when executed by the telephonic device, results in a simulated multi-step spoken conversation between the telephonic device and the user to enable the user to receive the identified service or the identified product. A recommendation associated with the recommended voice bundle application is transmitted from the remote learning engine to the telephonic device. The recommendation is presented by the telephonic device to the user through voice communications.

  • Patent number: 10129720
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) on a display of an electronic device visually presents to a user a group of voice bundles that are available for use on the electronic device. Each voice bundle includes a software application for performing a call flow that includes a sequence of prompt instructions and grammar instructions executable to result in a simulated multi-step spoken interaction between the electronic device and the user. An input is received from the user entered through the GUI indicating a selection of a voice bundle from the group of voice bundles. In response to the input, a remote server is identified that stores the selected voice bundle. Network communications is established between the electronic device and the remote server. The selected voice bundle is located on the remote server. A copy of the selected voice bundle is downloaded from the remote server onto the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 10084912
    Abstract: A request is received from a user of a telephonic device to invoke an application on the telephonic device. A form is displayed to the user using the application. Information input into the form is received by the application along with an indication to submit the form information with a service request to a call handling system. A data communications session between the telephonic device and an application server of the call handling system is established using the application. The form information is provided to the application server. A telephone number of the telephonic device is identified from the form information using which a voice communications session is established with the telephonic device from an interactive voice response system of the call handling system. Voice information is exchanged with the user and text, image or video information is communicated to the user via the voice and data communications sessions respectively.

  • Patent number: 10051131
    Abstract: Multi-modal interaction with a telephonic device using a call handling system is enabled by receiving a call at an interactive voice response (IVR) system of the call handling system, the call being received from a telephonic device of a caller. A voice communications session between the IVR and the telephonic device is established in response to the call. Whether the telephonic device is capable of processing multi-modal communications is determined. Based on determining that the telephonic device is not capable of processing multi-modal communications, the IVR is enabled to access and audibly deliver voice page content to the caller via the voice communications session. Alternatively, based on determining that the telephonic device is capable of processing multi-modal communications, the call handling system is configured to exchange multi-modal communications with the telephonic device during the call.

  • Patent number: 10009463
    Abstract: A request to execute an interaction site for enabling communications to be exchanged between a multi-channel communications system and a user device is received by an interaction flow processor. The interaction site is identified based on the request. An interaction flow document is accessed for the identified interaction site, the interaction flow document including code for initiating the interaction site between a user device and the multi-channel communications system using any one of multiple different communications channels including an interactive voice response channel. A communications channel used by the user device to contact the multi-channel communications system is determined. Based on the determined communications channel, the code of the interaction flow document is translated to code executable by the multi-channel communications system to enable the multi-channel communications system and the user device to exchange communications over the determined communications channel.
