  • Triggering supplemental channel communications based on data from non-transactional communication sessions
    Patent number: 11494788
    Abstract: As a client device accesses and interacts with a web server of an online retailer, an engagement evaluation server gathers data from both the client device and the web server. Over time, as the client device is used to access the web server and other web servers within the evaluation server network, a profile is built and maintained that describes some aspects of the client device interaction with the web server, including recency of visits, frequency of visits, frequency of views of products, frequency of shopping cart creation and modification, and other factors indicative of the user being engaged with the online retailer. The evaluation server performs statistical analysis and data modeling on profiles in order to generate an engagement score, and then provides the contact information for profiles meeting certain criteria.
