  • Patent number: 11641423
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing callback times to increase the success rate of callbacks while managing overflow of calls to alternate sites when callbacks are unsuccessful. The system and method use a pacing algorithm to determine when callbacks are likely to be successful from a preferred contact site, routing to alternate callback sites when callbacks are unsuccessful, and preferences for re-routing back to the preferred site when a callback is successful and the agent with whom the caller has interacted previously is available.

  • Patent number: 11595524
    Abstract: A system and method for callback management, utilizing a callback cloud, a digital ledger, and smart callback contracts, brokering user to user communications and session establishment using an automated workflow built upon extensible root smart contract templates which can be configured to connect various users and brands. The system may comprise callback cloud, that may further comprise a callback manager, a brand interface server, an interaction manager, a media server, one or more blockchain digital ledgers, and various smart contracts which are used to autonomously respond to received user requests.
