Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for online data-linked telecommunications decisioning and distribution. One method includes receiving call data relating to a telephone call from a telephone device of a user to an interactive voice response (“IVR”) system; accessing a database storing correlated call data and user data; retrieving correlated call data and user data based on the telephone number of the call data; determining a confidence score defining a confidence that the received call data relates to the retrieved correlated call data and user data; correlating the received call data with retrieved call data and user data when the confidence score is greater than a threshold value; determining an IVR response to present to the user via the IVR system; and transmitting the determined IVR response to the IVR system for presentation to the telephone device of the user.

Claims (56)

1. A computer-implemented method for data-linked telecommunications, the method comprising:

receiving, over an electronic network, call data relating to a telephone call from a user device;

accessing, by at least one processor, a database storing correlated call data and online attribution data associated with the user device;

determining, by the at least one processor, an automated voice menu to transmit to the user based on the correlated call data and online attribution data;

receiving, by the at least one processor, updated correlated call data and updated online attribution data associated with the user device based on call data received from transmitting the automated voice menu; and

determining, by the at least one processor, targeted electronic content to transmit to the user, based on the updated correlated call data and updated online attribution data.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, over the electronic network, user data relating to interactions by a computing device of the user with a publisher server, the user data including a user identifier of the user.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

accessing, by at least one processor, a database storing correlated call data and user data;

retrieving, by the at least one processor, correlated call data and user data based on the user identifier of the user data; and

correlating, by the at least one processor, the received user data with retrieved call data and user data.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the call data includes at least one of call metadata, a telephone number dialed, a call time, a call date, a length of the phone call, responses by the user to an automated voice system, and data related to the user calling.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, over the electronic network, updated call data relating to the telephone call from the user to an automated voice system; and

correlating, by the at least one processor, the updated call data with retrieved call data and online attribution data.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the targeted electronic content is transmitted to the user through a computing device of the user.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the targeted electronic content is transmitted to the user through a mobile device used by the user to make the telephone call.

8. A system for data-linked telecommunications, the system including:

at least one data storage device that stores instructions system for data-linked telecommunications; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:

receiving, over an electronic network, call data relating to a telephone call from a user;

accessing, by at least one processor, a database storing correlated call data and online attribution data;

determining, by the at least one processor, an automated voice menu to transmit to the user based on the correlated call data and online attribution data;

receiving, by the at least one processor, updated correlated call data and updated online attribution data based on the call data based on call data received from transmitting the automated voice menu; and

determining, by the at least one processor, targeted electronic content to transmit to the user, based on the updated correlated call data and updated online attribution data.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform the method including:

receiving, over the electronic network, user data relating to interactions by a computing device of the user with a publisher server, the user data including a user identifier of the user.

10. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform the method including:

accessing, by at least one processor, a database storing correlated call data and user data;

retrieving, by the at least one processor, correlated call data and user data based on the user identifier of the user data; and

correlating, by the at least one processor, the received user data with retrieved call data and user data.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the call data includes at least one of call metadata, a telephone number dialed, a call time, a call date, a length of the phone call, responses by the user to an automated voice system, and data related to the user calling.

12. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform the method including:

receiving, over the electronic network, updated call data relating to the telephone call from the user to an automated voice system; and

correlating, by the at least one processor, the updated call data with retrieved call data and online attribution data.

13. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the targeted electronic content is transmitted to the user through a computing device of the user.

14. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the targeted electronic content is transmitted to the user through a mobile device used by the user to make the telephone call.

15. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the call data comprises a phone number dialed, and further comprising:

determining an automated voice menu based at least in part on the phone number dialed.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for data-linked telecommunications, the method including:

receiving, over an electronic network, call data relating to a telephone call from a user;

accessing, by at least one processor, a database storing correlated call data and online attribution data;

determining, by the at least one processor, an automated voice menu to transmit to the user based on the correlated call data and online attribution data

receiving, by the at least one processor, updated correlated call data and updated online attribution data based on the call data based on call data received from transmitting the automated voice menu; and

determining, by the at least one processor, targeted electronic content to transmit to the user, based on the updated correlated call data and updated online attribution data.

17. The computer-readable medium according to claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving, over the electronic network, user data relating to interactions by a computing device of the user with a publisher server, the user data including a user identifier of the user.

18. The computer-readable medium according to claim 16 , further comprising:

accessing, by at least one processor, a database storing correlated call data and user data;

retrieving, by the at least one processor, correlated call data and user data based on the user identifier of the user data; and

correlating, by the at least one processor, the received user data with retrieved call data and user data.

19. The computer-readable medium according to claim 16 , wherein the call data includes at least one of call metadata, a telephone number dialed, a call time, a call date, a length of the phone call, responses by the user to an automated voice system, and data related to the user calling.

20. The computer-readable medium according to claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving, over the electronic network, updated call data relating to the telephone call from the telephone device of the user to an automated voice system; and

correlating, by the at least one processor, the updated call data with retrieved call data and online attribution data.
