Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to user access to an application service that references user account information and previous user action information. One example method may include receiving, via a receiver device, user input information to access an application, the user input information including at least one action request and authorizing the user to access the application. The method may also include storing the user input information as part of a contextual history information record in a database memory, generating a response message to the selected at least one action request based on the contextual history information, and forwarding the response message to the user via a transmitter device.

Claims (39)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, via a receiver device, user input information to access an application, the user input information including at least one action request provided by a user device;

storing the user input information as part of a contextual history information in a database memory, the contextual history information identifying a first session and comprising selection events occurring during the first session and the at least one action request made during the first session;

creating a second session responsive to receiving a user inquiry and retrieving the contextual history information of the first session;

applying the contextual history information to the second session to resume a previous context of the first session;

generating a response message to the selected at least one action request based on the contextual history information and the user inquiry;

forwarding the response message to the user device via a transmitter device via the second session; and

generating at least one additional response automatically based on a third party application, the at least one additional response being based on at least a portion of the contextual history information,

wherein in the at least one additional response is a reminder that is derived from previous user transactions and the stored contextual history information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input information comprises at least one of a username, password, user preference and query.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one additional response is a predictive response that is generated to offer the user a service independent of the user requesting the service, the service being derived from the contextual history information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response message comprises information requested by the user and responsive to the action request.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action request is a request to receive at least one of bill information, account information, order video content and live agent access.

6. An apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive user input information to access an application, the user input information including at least one action request provided by a user device; and

a processor configured to

store the user input information as part of a contextual history information in a database memory, the contextual history information identifying a first session and comprising selection events which occur during the first session and the at least one action request made during the first session;

create a second session responsive to receiving a user inquiry and retrieving the contextual history information of the first session;

apply the contextual history information to the second session to resume a previous context of the first session;

generate a response message to the selected at least one action request based on the contextual history information and the user inquiry; and

a transmitter configured to forward the response message to the user device via the second session,

wherein the processor is further configured to generate at least one additional response automatically based on a third party application, the at least one additional response being based on at least a portion of the contextual history information, and

wherein the at least one additional response is a reminder that is derived from previous user transactions and the stored contextual history information.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the user input information comprises at least one of a username, password, user preference and query.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the at least one additional response is a predictive response that is generated to offer the user a service independent of the user requesting the service, the service being derived from the contextual history information.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the response message comprises information requested by the user and responsive to the action request.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the action request is a request to receive at least one of bill information, account information, order video content, and live agent access.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

receiving, via a receiver device, user input information to access an application, the user input information including at least one action request provided by a user device;

storing the user input information as part of a contextual history information in a database memory, the contextual history information identifying a first session and comprising selection events occurring during the first session and the at least one action request made during the first session;

creating a second session responsive to receiving a user inquiry and retrieving the contextual history information of the first session;

applying the contextual history information to the second session to resume a previous context of the first session;

generating a response message to the selected at least one action request based on the contextual history information and the user inquiry;

forwarding the response message to the user device via a transmitter device via the second session; and

generating at least one additional response automatically based on a third party application, the at least one additional response being based on at least a portion of the contextual history information,

wherein in the at least one additional response is a reminder that is derived from previous user transactions and the stored contextual history information.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the user input information comprises at least one of a username, password, user preference and query.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least one additional response is a predictive response that is generated to offer the user a service independent of the user requesting the service, the service being derived from the contextual history information.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the response message comprises information requested by the user and responsive to the action request.
