Systems and methods for state awareness across communication channels and statefully transitioning between communication channels
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- retrieving, by a computer-based system for statefully transitioning a user between a source channel and a destination channel, data associated with the user based upon a user identifier, and in response to the user entering the destination channel that is different from the source channel;
populating, by the computer-based system, the data associated with the user in the destination channel;
transmitting, by the computer-based system, a telephone number associated with a customer service representative to a device associated with the user, wherein the telephone number is based upon information provided by the user in the source channel;
maintaining, by the computer-based system, a state awareness between communication channels; and
displaying, by the computer-based system and based upon the state awareness, an estimated wait time.

Abstract
A system for providing state awareness across communication channels and statefully transitioning a user between a source channel and a destination channel is disclosed. The method may comprise storing a unique identifier associated with the user and data associated with the user, retrieving the data associated with the user based upon the user identifier and in response to the user entering the destination channel that is different from the source channel, and populating the data associated with the user in the destination channel. The destination channel may comprise a display of a customer service representative, and the populating may occur automatically. Furthermore, the method may comprise placing a call to a telephone number associated with the user in response to at least one of: the user answering a requisite number of questions in the source channel and the user requesting a transition to a voice destination channel.

6. A system comprising:
-
a processor for statefully transitioning a user between a source channel and a destination channel; a tangible, non-transitory memory communicating with the processor; the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; retrieving, by the processor, data associated with the user based upon a user identifier, and in response to the user entering the destination channel that is different from the source channel; populating, by the processor, the data associated with the user in the destination channel; transmitting, by the processor, a telephone number associated with a customer service representative to a device associated with the user, wherein the telephone number is based upon information provided by the user in the source channel; maintaining, by the processor, a state awareness between communication channels; and displaying, by the processor and based upon the state awareness, an estimated wait time. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for statefully transitioning a user between a source channel and a destination channel, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:
-
retrieving, by the computer-based system, data associated with the user based upon a user identifier, and in response to the user entering the destination channel that is different from the source channel; populating, by the computer-based system, the data associated with the user in the destination channel; transmitting, by the computer-based system, a telephone number associated with a customer service representative to a device associated with the user, wherein the telephone number is based upon information provided by the user in the source channel; maintaining, by the computer-based system, a state awareness between communication channels; and displaying, by the computer-based system and based upon the state awareness, and estimated wait time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
