  • Patent number: 11784962
    Abstract: In accordance with the present approach, a collaborative chat system is provided that enables collaborative communication between a user preferring a native chat platform and a different user who communicates using a non-native or third-party chat platform. The user may particularly select various other users to be added to a collaborative chat, regardless of which chat platform the other users have set as their main or preferred communication channel. Indeed, when displaying the various users available to be added to the collaborative chat, the collaborative chat system may display a visual indication or icon that indicates which chat platform the various users are available through. The collaborative chat system or platform may utilize bi-directional communications between the native chat platform and any communicatively coupled third-party chat platforms to link the user with the selected other users within a collaborative chat instance.

  • Patent number: 11698802
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates techniques for coordinating and synchronizing client-facing support services with the activities and responses from one or more technical teams assigned to address a client issue. In certain implementations, this may allow an agent or customer approach to use a single reference identifier (such as a case or matter number) to access information or updates from technical teams that do not typically employ such a number for their own tracking purposes. In this manner, relevant information to a client issue may be accessed from all involved technical teams at the agent level as well as allowing the technical teams themselves to readily see activity by other teams.

  • Publication number: 20200090108
    Abstract: A visual task management board may include multiple task records that includes information associated with the respective task records. The task records may include an action status field that displays if the task is actionable or is blocked. Further, if the task is blocked, the visual task management board may display why the action is blocked. Additionally, information associated with blocking of the task may be stored. If a task is not blocked, the visual task management board may display if the task needs attention, indicative that acting upon the task is urgent. The action status of a task may be based at least in part on action taken by a user of the visual task management board, such as via an action performed on the visual task management board.
