Systems and arrangements for communicating with an automated interactive telecommunications service system
View Patent ↗In embodiments, a method, device and/or system allowing for automatic connection through a menu driven communication system by way of a keyed sequence, which may be stored as an XML file, comprising a telephone number and a menu response sequence.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a communications device, commands that cause activation of a programming mode of said communications device;
receiving, by said communications device, a plurality of keystrokes to create a keyed sequence, said keyed sequence including a telephone number, a menu response sequence and delay data representing time delays between the plurality of keystrokes;
assigning, by said communications device, a session identifier to said keyed sequence; and
storing, by said communications device, said session identified keyed sequence in a standard computer file format, accessible via a telecommunications network.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sharing or communicating by said communications device said session identified keyed sequence.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said telecommunications network is the Internet.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said standard computer file format is extensible markup language (XML) file format.
5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising accepting by said communications device a command to parameterize confidential data before sharing the keystroke sequence.
6. A computer program comprising:
a computer-readable tangible storage device;
program instructions, stored on the storage device, to receive, by a communications device, commands that cause activation of a programming mode of said communications device;
program instructions, stored on the storage device, to receive, by said communications device, a plurality of keystrokes to create a keyed sequence, said keyed sequence including a telephone number, a menu response sequence and delay data representing time delays between the plurality of keystrokes;
program instructions, stored on the storage device, to assign, by said communications device, a session identifier to said keyed sequence; and
program instructions, stored on the storage device, to store, by said communications device, said session identified keyed sequence in a standard computer file format, accessible via a telecommunications network.
7. The computer program product of claim 6 , further comprising:
program instructions, stored on the storage device, to detect a change indicator in a menu driven communication system; and
program instructions, stored on the storage device, to provide an indicator that at least a portion of a menu in the menu driven communication system has changed.
8. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein said standard computer file format is extensible markup language (XML) file format.
9. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein said communications device is a mobile smart phone.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein said communications device is a mobile smart phone.
