Apparatus and methods for multi-mode asynchronous communication
First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- receive, at a host device and from an electronic device, a first communication associated with a customer service transaction, the first communication being received at a first time, the first communication including biometric data;
authenticate the electronic device based on the first communication;
send, in response to the authenticating and at a second time, a second communication associated with the customer service transaction, the second time being subsequent the first time, the first communication and the second communication being displayable in a persistent record of the customer service transaction regardless of a time duration between the first time and the second time; and
receive, at a third time, a third communication, the third communication being unrelated to the customer service transaction, the third communication being displayable in a record different than the persistent record of the customer service transaction.

Abstract
A method includes receiving at a host device a first communication associated with a transaction from at least one electronic device included in a set of electronic devices. The host device includes at least a memory, a processor, and a database. The first communication received at a first time and via a first communication mode. The method includes sending a response to the first communication at a second time after the first time and independent of the first time. The host devices receives a second communication associated with the transaction from the at least one electronic device at a third time. The first communication, the response to the first communication, and the second communication are displayable in a persistent record of the transaction regardless of a difference between the first time and the third time.

11. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a communication module of a host device and at a first time, a first communication associated with a user interaction from an electronic device via a first communication mode, the first communication including biometric data; authenticating, at an authentication module of the host device, the electronic device based on the first communication; sending, in response to the authenticating and at a second time, a second communication associated with the user interaction and via a second communication mode different from the first communication mode, the second time being subsequent the first time, the first communication and the second communication being displayable in a persistent record of the user interaction regardless of a time duration between the first time and the second time; and receive, at a third time, a third communication, the third communication being unrelated to the user interaction, the third communication being displayable in a record different than the persistent record of the user interaction. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a communication module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device, the communication module configured to receive, from an electronic device and at a first time, a first communication associated with a customer service transaction, the first communication including an indication of a geographic location of the electronic device; and an authentication module operatively coupled to the communication module, the authentication module configured to authenticate the electronic device based at least in part on the indication, the communication module configured to send, at a second time and in response to the authentication module authenticating the electronic device, a second communication associated with the transaction, the second time being subsequent the first time, the first communication and the second communication being displayable in a persistent record of the customer service transaction regardless of a time duration between the first time and the second time, the communication module configured to receive, at a third time, a third communication, the third communication being unrelated to the customer service transaction, the third communication being displayable in a record different than the persistent record of the customer service transaction. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
