International Classification:

H04N 350

US Classification:

379 67

Abstract:

An automatic callback arrangement for an automatic call-distribution (ACD) system. The arrangement collects and stores the telephone number from which a call is incoming (ANI), estimates how long the call will have to hold in queue before it is answered, and, if the waiting time exceeds a predetermined maximum, prompts the caller to chosse between holding or receiving a return call if the caller is a valid-account holder. If the caller choses a return call, the arrangement prompts the caller for callback time and time-period. The arrangement then verifies whether the caller is a valid account holder. If so, the arrangement places an outgoing call to the stored telephone number when the callback time arrives. If the call does not get through, the arrangement repeatedly periodically repeats placing of the outgoing call, until the call gets through or the callback time-period expires. When it places the outgoing call, the arrangement connects the originating end thereof to an ACD agent to handle the call.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

Technologies for attributing purchases to a targeted marketing campaign include associating a captured payment card number and a captured cardholder identifier with a globally unique identifier. Additional payment card numbers related to the captured payment card number are associated with the globally unique identifier. A cardholder-specific marketing message associated with a targeted marketing campaign is transmitted to the captured cardholder identifier based on the globally unique identifier. The targeted marketing campaign is for an advertised product, which corresponds to a product identifier. A purchase transaction is attributed to the targeted marketing campaign in response to determining that a payment card number associated with the purchase transaction matches any of the payment card numbers associated with the globally unique identifier and determining that a product identifier corresponding to a purchased product of the purchase transaction is associated with the targeted marketing campaign. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

International Classification:

H04W 4/90

Abstract:

Various systems described herein may allow a user's personal information, such as their medical history, to be automatically delivered to appropriate emergency personnel in response to a reported emergency, such as a 911 call, activation of a smoke alarm or security system, or other emergency. Various items of personal and confidential information may be stored in a secure location, and the user may provide advanced approval to have the information automatically delivered to emergency responders in response to a request for emergency assistance. For example, after the user initiates a request for emergency assistance, a computing device may determine whether the user has granted approval for emergency delivery of the user's confidential information, and if such approval has been granted, the computing device may request the delivery of the user's confidential information to the emergency responders.
