Patent number: 8798240Abstract: An interactive voice response process that permits an intelligent interactive voice system to communicate with a caller includes receiving a call and connecting the caller with the system. The process also includes identifying the caller, determining if the caller is a first time caller or a repeat caller, and interactively communicating with the caller in accordance with an interactive script. For each first time caller, the process establishes a personal profile of the caller from information gathered from the caller. The process then develops a predictive personalized interactive communication dialog for future calls from the caller based on information gathered from the caller during the interactive communication and stored in the caller's personal profile.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2012Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Mina Awad, John T.
