System and methods for tracking unresolved customer involvement with a service organization and automatically formulating a dynamic service solution
First Claim
1. A system for managing customer involvement with a contact center, the system comprising:
- a switch configured to receive a plurality of communications for routing to one or more contact center resources;
a processor coupled to the switch; and
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory has stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
establish a current communication session with an end user device;
identify a user engaged in the current communication session;
determine, during the current communication session, whether data for a terminated interaction conducted prior to the current communication session exists for the user in a database, wherein the terminated interaction includes an automated interaction process comprising a plurality of predetermined stages arranged in a predetermined sequential order, wherein the automated interaction process was terminated after completing a first stage from among the plurality of predetermined stages arranged in the predetermined sequential order;
retrieve the data for the terminated interaction from the database, wherein the retrieved data includes information on which of the plurality of stages of the automated interaction process during the terminated interaction were completed;
determine, from the retrieved data, a commercial goal of the user that went unsatisfied;
transmit a signal to the switch for routing the current communication session to a contact center communication device based on the retrieved data for the terminated interaction;
resume the current communication session at a second stage from among the plurality of stages that is arranged after the first stage in the predetermined sequential order based on the retrieved data; and
initiate an activity directed to the process based on the commercial goal.

Abstract
A system for managing customer involvement with a contact center involves one or more monitoring applications executing on one or more computerized servers associated with the contact center, the applications monitoring communications between individual customers and the center; and a rules engine executing on the one or more computerized servers, the rules engine accessible to the monitoring application, the rules engine enabled to generate and implement business rules. Upon detection by one of the monitoring applications of an instance of unsuccessful or incomplete interaction between a customer and the contact center, session data determined during monitoring is used by the rules engine to determine contact center-initiated activity to be implemented to establish new communication with the customer to resolve issues related to the unsuccessful or incomplete interaction.

12. A method for managing customer involvement with a contact center, comprising:
-
establishing, by a processor, a current communication session with an end user device; identifying, by the processor, a user engaged in the current communication session; determining, by the processor, during the current communication session, whether data a terminated interaction conducted prior to the current communication session exists for the user in a database, wherein the terminated interaction includes an automated interaction process comprising a plurality of predetermined stages arranged in a predetermined sequential order, wherein the automated interaction process was terminated after completing a first stage from among the plurality of predetermined stages arranged in the predetermined sequential order; retrieving, by the processor, the data for the terminated interaction from the database, wherein the retrieved data includes information on which of the plurality of stages of the automated interaction process during the terminated interaction were completed; determining, by the processor, from the retrieved data, a commercial goal of the user that went unsatisfied; transmitting, by the processor, a signal to a switch for routing the current communication session to a contact center communication device based on the retrieved data for the terminated interaction; resuming, by the processor, the current communication session at a second stage from among the plurality of stages that is arranged after the first stage in the predetermined sequential order based on the retrieved data; and initiating, by the processor, an activity directed to the process based on the commercial goal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
