Method and apparatus for accessing support content
First Claim
1. A method of handling a request, the method comprising:
- receiving at a computer system via a first communication link a first message relating to a first device, wherein the first message comprises a first identification code;
accessing a database to read first information mapped to the first identification code;
selecting an identity of a first support content item from among identities of a plurality of support content items, wherein at least a portion of the first information is used in selecting the identity of the first support content item, wherein the first support content item is for addressing a problem relating to the first device, and wherein the first support content item is accessible via one of a plurality of automated support systems;
receiving at the computer system via a second communication link a second message relating to a second device, wherein the second message comprises a second identification code;
selecting an identity of a second support content item from among identities of the plurality of support content items, wherein the identity of the second support content item is selected using at least a portion of second information mapped to the second identification code;
generating and sending a third message to a server configured to implement the automated support system comprising the first support content item, wherein the third message comprises the identity of the first support content item; and
generating and sending a fourth message to a server configured to implement an automated support system comprising the second support content item.
