  • Patent number: 11962717
    Abstract: Technology for determining a queue position of a call from a user can include receiving, at an enterprise, the call from a user device associated with the user. The user device includes an application associated with the enterprise. The call is placed into an on-hold queue. A weighted level of importance associated with the call is determined based on call history information associated with the user device and call frequency associated with the user. The weighted level of importance is compared to at least one weight threshold. A wait time for the call is decreased based on the weighted level of importance meeting or exceeding the at least one weight threshold.

  • Patent number: 11947973
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a system that may include a first computing device that may perform a plurality of data processing operations and a second computing device that may receive a modification to one or more components of a first data operation, identify a first subset of the plurality of data processing operations that corresponds to the one or more components, and determine one or more alternate parameters associated with the one or more components. The second computing device may then identify a second subset of the plurality of data processing operations that corresponds to the one or more alternate parameters and send a notification to the first computing device indicative of a modification to the first subset and the second subset.

  • Patent number: 11765273
    Abstract: Data analysis, filter, and presentation techniques are described for an example call management system. An example method for a data management system includes receiving, from a user device, an account identifier of a first person, receiving, from the user device, a first message related to a topic of conversation to be discussed during a telephone call with the first person, determining, based on the account identifier and within a pre-determined time period, a presence of a set of data that describes conversation(s) from prior telephone call(s)/chat(s) with the first person, and sending, to a computer, at least some data from the set of data and a second message that indicates that the telephone call is mapped to a second person, where the computer is configured to display on a screen the second message and a presentation option that presents the at least some data via the computer.

  • Publication number: 20230103204
    Abstract: Technology for placing a user on-hold can include sending a push notification to a user device after the call has been placed on-hold. A link in the push notification can request authentication credentials from the user. When the authentication credentials have been received and verified, a chat window can be launched via an application on the user device. The intent of the call can be determined based at least in part by information received via the chat window. The authentication information and the intent of the call can be transferred to a representative answering the call.

  • Patent number: 11615170
    Abstract: A system includes a database configured to store a plurality of datasets and a monitoring system communicatively coupled to the database. The monitoring system is configured to perform operations that include receiving information, which has user information associated with a user and determining whether the received information is indicative of an update to a data access right associated with the user, in which the update to the data access right comprises a change in accessibility of a dataset of the plurality of datasets. The monitoring system is also configured to perform operations that include outputting a notification indicative of reviewing the user information associated with the user in response to determining the received information is indicative of an update to the data access right associated with the user.
