  • Publication number: 20230362119
    Abstract: Enhanced data sharing from the enterprise to end users involves receiving a data sharing command on an administrative control panel. The data sharing command has a selection of content, identity information of a communication session initiator, and identity information of a communication session recipient. A submission request, which includes the content and identity information of the initiator is transmitted to a computing device associated with the recipient. Local records on the recipient computing device are updatable with the received visual content and the identity information of the initiator. This data is presentable to the recipient upon an incoming communications session request.

  • Publication number: 20230031032
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to various systems and methods for enhanced outbound dialing and notifications. An originating network interface is connectible to the originating network, and receptive to a media content request from the originating network. A database stores one or more originator node records, defined at least by an originator node identity, a network node address, and a media content element. A communications session processor retrieves the media content element associated with the originator node record from the database. A terminating network interface is connectible to the terminating network, and the media content element is transmitted on to the terminating network and destined for the recipient node through the terminating network interface.

  • Publication number: 20220286420
    Abstract: A system for interfacing with mobile carrier networks, mobile application-equipped devices, social media networks, and individual and Enterprise user's databases, contacts, pictures, videos, and text is disclosed. A data link is connected to a mobile carrier network to receive user application and other data. Additional data links are connected to a user's stored smartphone content, including contacts, pictures, videos and other stored information as well as databases and an application-equipped device to obtain and exchange information in determining data selection, routing, presentation, and updating instructions. A user interface is connected to the system to accept configurable conditions for determining selection, routing and sharing instructions. There is a data conversion function for each data source. Synchronization between stored user preferences to automated or semi-automated updates and routes is provided by application driven consumer defined preferences.

  • Patent number: 8755372
    Abstract: A portal system for secure, aggregated and centralized management and access of disparate customer service and social networking environments is disclosed. A user interface provides multiple, parameter-based automated service scripts, each configured to utilize customer information. The scripts link to vendor-specific, scenario-specific, and social networking-specific interfaces that have common user interface elements. Shared and dedicated reverse automation gateways are configured to emulate the step-by-step self-service aspects of web sites and interactive voice response systems. The portal system eliminates or reduces inbound toll-free telephone charges for vendor contact centers and additionally links the same to social networking systems.

  • Patent number: 8583498
    Abstract: The system employs the use of biometric authentication, a fraud control gateway and widget, and a point of sale sensor to restrict the use of credit cards or other financial tokens to authenticated actual owners of the card or token. The card or token holder will have biometric information entered into a database during an initiation or enrollment process, and subsequent uses of the card may be authenticated by comparing the biometric information of the attempted user to biometric information stored in the system. The biometric component is used for voice authentication. As part of a multi-factor security schema, the biometric authentication is combined with a series of point of sale and fraud control methods to ensure a comprehensive security umbrella for financial transactions. Both financial institution limits to transactions and consumer-preferred limits to transactions are employed.
