  • Patent number: 11917108
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to correlating communication data between a plurality of communication service providers, via a data communications server. According to a specific example, the data communications server receives a selection of a communications service provider to interface with the data communications server. In certain instances, an event associated with a first user of the data communications server is detected, the data communications server identifies a second user associated with the event and a type of interaction for the event. The data communications server provides instructions to the selected communications service provider to retrieve data correlated with the second user, and displays the correlated data received from the server of the communications service provider on a device accessible by the first user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11861653
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to contact center management, using a data communications server. According to a specific example, the data communications server includes one or more computer processor circuits coupled to memory circuits and configured to interface with a plurality of remotely-situated client entities. The data communications server may be configured and arranged to monitor a plurality of communications placed to target recipients in a first communications-based campaign of a first client entity among the plurality of remotely-situated client entities, and to determine a disposition of each of the plurality of communications based at least on data received and relating to the plurality of communications.

  • Patent number: 11805206
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to customization of a contact center, using a data communications server. According to a specific example, the data communications server includes circuitry configured and arranged to provide data communications services to a plurality of remotely-situated client entities. The data communications server further provides a user interface for each respective remotely-situated client entity, the user interface including a display of communications-based campaigns, interactive voice response (IVR) tools, and data analytics. Moreover, the data communications server provides a display on the user interface which may include selectable components to create for the associated remotely-situated client entity, a customized way for handling incoming data communications by the data communications server. Accordingly, the data communications server may handle communications for the associated remotely-situated client entity according to the provided customization.

  • Patent number: 11503159
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to customization of a contact center, using a data communications server. According to a specific example, the data communications server includes circuitry configured and arranged to provide data communications services to a plurality of remotely-situated client entities. The data communications server further provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for each respective remotely-situated client entity, the GUI including a display of communications-based campaigns, interactive voice response (IVR) tools, and data analytics. Moreover, the data communications server provides a display on the GUI including selectable components to create for the associated remotely-situated client entity, a customization for handling incoming data communications by the data communications server. Accordingly, the data communications server may handle communications for the associated remotely-situated client entity according to the provided customization.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to correlating communication data between a plurality of communication service providers, via a data communications server. According to a specific example, the data communications server receives a selection of a communications service provider to interface with the data communications server. In response to detecting an event associated with a first user of the data communications server, the data communications server identifies a second user associated with the event and a type of interaction for the event. The data communications server provides instructions to the selected communications service provider to retrieve data correlated with the second user, and displays the correlated data received from the server of the communications service provider on a device accessible by the first user.

  • Patent number: 10944800
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to queuing data communications in a data communications network. According to a specific example, a user-data communication addressed to a client among a plurality of remotely-situated client entities, may be placed in a queue. The client entities may be configured and arranged to interface with a data communications server providing data communications services on a subscription basis. A virtual assistant session may be initiated, in which a dynamic series of inquiries may be presented to address the user-data communication while the position is maintained in the queue. The user-data communication may be terminated and removed from the queue in response to an indication that the user-data communication was addressed during the virtual assistant session, or routed via the data communications server in response to an indication that the user-data communication was not addressed during the virtual assistant session.
