Abstract: A system allowing user/system interaction sessions on voice-enabled computing devices (VECDs) to be shifted from a voice-based interface to a non-voice-based (such as a text/web-based) interface. Accordingly, easy and convenient data input, receipt and recognition is provided in a manner that is not likely to frustrate users, that accommodates a broad range of data needs, and/or that avoids confidentiality issues associated with the use of voice input and data security issues associated with the storage of medical/health or other sensitive data. The system recognizes a platform-shifting command via a voice-based interface, gathers any required information (such as a telephone number or e-mail address) for continuing the communications session on another platform, and then sends a text/email/other message including a URL/hyperlink usable to initiate a communications session on a different communications platform and continue a voice-based interaction session on a non-voice-based communications platform.

Abstract: A method and system for management of multi-party communications that is capable of intelligently assessing a first party/requestor's need and automatedly matching the first party's need to a suitable second party resource that is most probable to meet that need in an efficient manner. The system effectively serves as a chatbot-based (text-based or voice-based) switchboard operator that allows requestors to state a need for a service or consultation, and then automatedly have that need researched and/or matched to the most appropriate resource/service provider based on real-time automated inquiry and/or known data from past research. Further, the system is capable of contacting one or more resources/service providers, confirming that a particular resource/provider can meet the current need, and also coordinating/facilitating a communication session between the first party/requestor and the second party/resource without the need for human intervention.

Abstract: A device captures, at the time of authentication to a secured session, secondary authentication data of the user that has authenticated using primary authentication credentials. Then, during the session, the system is caused to re-authenticate the user using the secondary authentication credentials (such as original and current user's face images). The system actively monitors the face visible to a camera of the computing device. The system compares the current face to the face image captured at the time of authentication. If the system fails to detect the same face captured initially at the time of authentication, then the system automatedly ends or otherwise locks the session to secure that session from an unauthorized user. Accordingly, the system does not rely merely upon initial authentication for an entire session, but rather reauthenticates the user during a single session in order for the session to be permitted to continue.
