20160119477 | METHOD FOR CONNECTING USERS WITH AGENTS BASED ON USER VALUES DYNAMICALLY DETERMINED ACCORDING TO A SET OF RULES OR ALGORITHMS - A request is received for connecting a user with an agent, the request identifying a user interaction with content. A second server is accessed to determine a first score of the user representing a benefit the user has generated for a client that provides the content. A third server is accessed to determine a second score of the user representing overall burden to provide services to the user by the client based on an interaction history of the user with the client. A user value is dynamically determined based on the first score and the second score using a user value determination algorithm that is specifically configured for the client. A list of agent candidates is identified from a pool of agents based on the user value and the collection of real-time data. A first communication session is established between the user and one of the agent candidates. | 04-28-2016 |
20160119478 | METHOD FOR CONNECTING A USER WITH AN AGENT BASED ON USER INTERACTION OF A LINK OF A PRIOR MESSAGE EXCHANGED BETWEEN THE USER AND THE AGENT - A request is received from a user device to connect with an agent, the request including information describing an interactive event representing a user interaction with a link embedded within a first message presented at the user device. A user device ID identifying the user device is determined based on the request. The interactive event is examined to determine whether the interactive event satisfies a predetermined condition based on a set of one or more rules. In response to determining that the interactive event satisfies the predetermined condition, a first agent device ID is determined that identifies a first agent device of a first agent who initiated and sent the first message to the user device. A communication session is established between the user device and the first agent device based on the user device ID and the first agent device ID. | 04-28-2016 |
