Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for providing a record of an interactive conference, such as a video conference. The systems, methods, and computer program products determine that an operative connection has been established between a user device of a user and a system associated with a representative of a financial institution, such that the user and the representative are conducting a conference; identify a document referenced during the conference; capture at least a portion of the conference in a record; associate the document with the record; and store the record. Customers of financial institutions desire to have records of their interactions with representatives of the financial institution and the embodiments of this invention assist the customer in maintaining and organizing those records.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing an interactive conference, such as a video conference. The system, methods, and computer program products determine that an operative connection is being established between a user device of a user and a system associated with a representative of a financial institution, such that the user and the representative may conduct a conference; provide a document viewable by both the user and the representative during the conference; and enable the document to be edited by at least one of the user and the representative during the conference. The document may be an uploaded document or an account view. The system, method, and computer program product provide augmented service to customers of financial institutions when the customers are participating in a conference with a representative of the financial institution.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for receiving input to initiate a video conference with a first participant from a user; initiating the video conference between the user and the first participant; receiving a request to add at least a second participant to the video conference from at least one of the user and the first participant, the request comprising credentials associated with the second participant; determining that the second participant is authorized to join the video conference based on the credentials; and connecting the second participant to the video conference.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for adaptively scaffolding of levels of connectivity between one or more customer devices during customer service conference are provided. The system includes various applications and features executable on a computing and/or mobile computing device. The system includes a user interface configured to present tools and features that allows a customer, during a digital conference with a bank representative, to manipulate the channels of communication, levels of connectivity or other features of the digital conference. In some instances, a scaffolding application on the bank's server may be provided to dynamically adjust the levels of connectivity and/or channels of communication of an ongoing digital conference session between a customer and a bank representative based on prior conferences involving the customer and/or a bank representative. As such, the system allows for self-directed and/or computer-aided adjustment of levels of connectivity during a conference.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for assisting a user to select a customer service representative of a financial institution in preparation for a customer service conference. Embodiments determine that an operative connection is being established between a user device of the user and a system associated with the financial institution, such that the user and the representative of the financial institution may conduct the conference; determine at least one representative from a pool of potential representatives, the at least one representative determined for presentation to the user for user selection; and receive user input selecting one of the at least one representatives for conference connection. Some embodiments establish an operative connection between the user device and a representative system associated with the representative over which the user and the representative can conduct an audio-visual conference.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for split-screen functionality to be provided to a user device during a hold period prior to a customer-service video conference. Specifically, according to defined embodiments, the present invention provides for a first portion of split-screen includes a visual depiction of a queue of users currently awaiting a video conference with the customer-service associate. The queue allows for the user/customer to gauge how long the hold period will last. In addition to the visual depiction of the hold queue, the split screen may provide for other portions of the screen to include other information and/or functionality such as, such as information related or unrelated to the impending video conference.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for assisting a user to select a customer service representative of a financial institution in preparation for a customer service conference. Embodiments determine that an operative connection is being established between a user device of the user and a system associated with the financial institution, such that the user and the representative of the financial institution may conduct the conference; recognize the user as a customer enrolled in a representative pre-selection program; determine at least one representative from a pool of potential representatives, the at least one representative determined for presentation to the user for user selection and determined based at least in part on the user having previously conferenced with the at least one representative; and receive user input selecting one of the at least one representatives for conference connection.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing functionality to users during a hold period prior to conducting a customer-service video conference. In specific embodiments of the present invention, the user is able to exit the video conferencing application during the hold period and be subsequently notified when the hold period is about to end and the video conference about to start. Such exiting of the video conference application and subsequent notification of the imminence of the video conference, allows for the user to perform other functions/execute other applications on the device while being assured that the user will have opportunity to conduct the video conference when the user's position in the hold period queue indicates they are next in line for conducting the video conference.
