  • Patent number: 10110511
    Abstract: A resource prioritization system and method for processing request communications by prioritizing resources based on obtainment parameters and establishing communication channels. The resource prioritization system and method may receive a request from a user device. The request can include content related to a request specification and can be associated with a request location. The resource prioritization system and method can process the request to identify one or more resources having one or more characteristics corresponding to the request content and associated with resource locations near the user location. A communication channel can then be established between the user device and a device associated with an identified resource, such that the user can submit queries to the resource and receive query responses.

  • Publication number: 20180095737
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing dynamic code management, such as dynamic management of JavaScript tags in webpages or code segments in native applications, are disclosed. A user device loading a web or native application can access a factor, such as a user device-specific attribute or a piece of content of the webpage or native application being loaded. That factor can be applied to a rule that is evaluated (e.g., by the user device or a code server) to select one or more desired segments of code (e.g., JavaScript tags or native application code) to be executed by the user device from a pool of available code (e.g., pre-embedded code or dynamically injected code).

  • Publication number: 20180004376
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for receiving and using a customization file are provided, including a computing device, a method, or a computer-program product. For example, a method may include receiving a customization file that includes customized content for customizing a communication interface overlay. The method may further include accessing native application code and executing the native application code to run a native application. The method may further include accessing a compiled set of code that is separate from the native application code. The compiled set of code is accessible by the native application code. The method may further include executing the compiled set of code, wherein a default file of the compiled set of code provides a native communication interface overlay, wherein the native communication interface overlay is overlaid over a graphical interface of the native application, and wherein the native communication interface overlay allows communication with a resource of a third-party.

  • Publication number: 20160110322
    Abstract: An interactive demonstration application can be used to test and experience the use of overlay elements (e.g., application add-ons, such as an interactive chat overlay) on a graphical interface (e.g., of a website or a computer application) before fully integrating the overlay elements into the graphical interface. The interactive demonstration application can also be used to demonstrate and update the live settings of a live overlay element used on a live webpage.

  • Patent number: 9191492
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for deflecting certain types of communications are provided, including a computing device, a method, or a computer-program product. For example, a method may include displaying a graphical interface corresponding to a mobile application. The graphical interface includes a selectable phone communication link or a selectable chat link. Selection of the selectable phone communication link facilitates a telephone communication with a live resource, and selection of the selectable chat link facilitates a chat communication with a live chat resource. The method may further include receiving input corresponding to an indication of placement of a telephone call from the mobile application. It may be determined that the selectable phone communication link is used to place the telephone call.
