Abstract

Methods and systems described in this disclosure receive a call from a device associated with a caller and request an indication of a context of the call. The system can send a request for authentication credentials in a push notification to the device. The push notification can be linked to an authentication tab or page in an application. After authentication of the caller, the system can direct the application to cause a tab or page associated with the subject matter of the call to be displayed on the qualified device.

Claims (37)

1. A computerized method comprising:

placing a call via a first device associated with a caller to a service provider;

determining if the first device is a qualified device based at least in part on whether the first device has been registered with the service provider for longer than a predetermined period of time; and

in response to the determination of the first device being the unqualified device:

sending a request from a third party to a second device associated with the caller, wherein the request includes a link to a login webpage; and

receiving an indication that the user has successfully logged into the login webpage, wherein the caller is authenticated to the call when the caller successfully logs into the login webpage.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is sent via text message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third party is an issuer of the first device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is a request for authentication credentials.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving authentication credentials from the user, wherein the authentication credentials are received from the login webpage.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a login request from the user to login to the login webpage.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is a push notification.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

placing a call via a first device associated with a caller to a service provider;

determining if the first device is a qualified device based at least in part on whether the first device has been registered with the service provider for longer than a predetermined period of time; and

in response to the determination of the first device being the unqualified device:

sending a request from a third party to a second device associated with the caller, wherein the request includes a link to a login webpage; and

receiving an indication that the user has successfully logged into the login webpage, wherein the caller is authenticated to the call when the caller successfully logs into the login webpage.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the request is sent via text message.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the third party is an issuer of the first device.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the request is a request for authentication credentials.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the operations further comprising receiving authentication credentials from the user, wherein the authentication credentials are received from the login webpage.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the operations further comprising receiving a login request from the user to login to the login webpage.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is a push notification.

15. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

placing a call via a first device associated with a caller to a service provider;

determining if the first device is a qualified device based at least in part on whether the first device has been registered with the service provider for longer than a predetermined period of time; and

in response to the determination of the first device being the unqualified device:

sending a request from a third party to a second device associated with the caller, wherein the request includes a link to a login webpage; and

receiving an indication that the user has successfully logged into the login webpage, wherein the caller is authenticated to the call when the caller successfully logs into the login webpage.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the request is sent via text message.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the third party is an issuer of the first device.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the request is a request for authentication credentials.

19. The system of claim 15 , the operations further comprising receiving authentication credentials from the user, wherein the authentication credentials are received from the login webpage.

20. The system of claim 15 , the operations further comprising receiving a login request from the user to login to the login webpage.
