  • Publication number: 20230186343
    Abstract: A system and method for multi-channel dynamic advertisement testing. The system comprises a multi-platform adaptive ad campaign manager, a dynamic advertisement engine, a campaign database, and an omnichannel text-based communicator. The system receives customer interactions with two advertisement test variants, establishes a real-time media stream between a customer device and a second user device, and monitors the media stream to collect data related to effectiveness of the advertisement variants. The system may analyze media stream data together with a plurality of other data types to statistically determine which of the two advertisement variants resulted in better performance based on a variety of advertisement metrics. The system may use the plurality of data and the statistical analysis to suggest an advertisement element to be altered in the next round of advertisement variant testing. This system can combine data collection and analytics for an ad campaign together into one system.

  • Patent number: 11610193
    Abstract: A system and method for a dynamic-link verification process between an electronic device and a transaction or event. The first step is engagement by a mobile electronic device with an initiator that is linked with a specific verification event that triggers a text message to auto-populate on a mobile electronic device. The message comprising metadata about the user and the event or transaction. The second step is for the electronic device to send the auto-populated message to a message gateway thus initiating the verification of the user. The message gateway works with a management service and one or more databases to verify the identify and other aspects of the user based on instructions provided by the event host. Approval or denial of the transaction or request to gain entry is sent to the mobile device and the event host.

  • Patent number: 11599916
    Abstract: A system and method for omnichannel text-based routing and customer-to-enterprise communications. The system comprises an interaction control system, an interaction routing system, and a media translation system. The system takes in requests from customers to text, email, or chat with a businessperson and facilitates the interaction by routing, masking, and converting where necessary. The routing is selected from a list of various algorithms and methods to determine the best businessperson to route the customer to. Masking by the system holds anonymity between the customer and businessperson, while conversion happens when the customer and businessperson are using two different communication vehicles such as from text messaging to email.

  • Patent number: 11562407
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing seamless integration of an omni-channel communication platform into third-party ad campaigns. An omni-channel communication platform comprises an interaction control system, an interaction routing system, and a media translation system. Users perform function calls via an application programming interface (API) to a URL generator in order to receive a custom redirect URL that may be hosted on a user's advertisement. The redirect URL intercepts customer interactions with that advertisement and allows the customer and user to communication over the customer's and user's preferred method, converting the user's communication technology to the customer's communication technology and vice-versa. Furthermore, the user may request a generated user-interface graphic that is associated with the redirect URL via the same or a different function call.

  • Publication number: 20220398631
    Abstract: A system and method for sales promotions via a text-messaging with deferred text-to-call interaction comprising a call-to-action link, generated via a script contained in the header of a webpage, which reduces the number of steps needed to obtain a sales promotion via a website. The call-to-action link triggers a prepopulated text message on a user's mobile device. User response to this message initiates a routing protocol to connect the user to a seller or agent associated with the advertising company for voice-based interaction. A pre-authorization message may be sent by the chatbot with a request for authorization to access private data. In some embodiments, a deferred text-to-call feature is implemented which allows the user to make an audio connection with an advertiser at a future time.

  • Patent number: 11354691
    Abstract: A system and method for omnichannel voice and text-based advertising using voice recognition. The system comprises an application that allows a user who has viewed an advertisement on a non-interactive medium to speak one or more words dictated by the advertisement into the application in order to receive business incentives. A speech recognition engine recognizes the words spoken into the application and matches the words to the relevant advertisement and delivers a text-based incentive to the user. Furthermore, with the potential customer's phone number now available, an omnichannel text-based communicator may now send other advertisements, reminders (such as to use the incentive), and communications to the user of the application.
