Configurable interactive voice response messaging control and monitoring system and method
First Claim
1. A configurable interactive voice response messaging control and monitoring system, the system comprising:
- a user interface enabling a dynamic selection of groups based on one or more among area codes, interactive voice response system locations, and call types, subject to an override message;
a database containing a status of override messages accessible by the user interface; and
an interactive voice response system coupled to the database for playing override messages as dynamically controlled by criteria set in the database.

Abstract
A configurable interactive voice response messaging control and monitoring system (10) includes a user interface (16) enabling a dynamic selection of groups based on one or more among area codes, interactive voice response system locations, or call types, a database (18) containing a status of override messages accessible by the user interface, and an interactive voice response system (14) coupled to the database for playing override messages as dynamically controlled by criteria set in the database. The system can further include a network operating center (NOC) (26) coupled to the database for monitoring the status of override messages. The NOC can also be coupled to an enterprise telecom system (28) enabling monitoring of the status of override messages by one or more call centers (31, 32, 33) coupled to the enterprise telecom system. Note, override messages can also be controlled by responses to API triggers where an outage condition exists.

10. A method of controlling and monitoring override messages on a communication network having a interactive voice response system, comprising the steps of:
-
creating a dynamically selected group based on one or more among area codes, interactive voice response system locations, and call types, subject to an override message;
generating and storing an override message and an associated override message status in a database accessible by a user interface; and
presenting the override message only to callers of members of the dynamically selected group in response to a call into an interactive voice response system coupled to the database as dynamically controlled by criteria set in the database. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer readable storage medium, the storage medium comprising computer instructions for:
-
creating a dynamically selected group based on one or more among area codes, interactive voice response system locations, and call types, subject to an override message; and
generating and storing an override message and an associated override message status in a database accessible by a user interface that are only presented callers of members of the dynamically selected group in response to a call into an interactive voice response system coupled to the database as dynamically controlled by criteria set in the database. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
