Abstract

A system and method for intent-based active callback management using enhanced callback objects, utilizing a cloud callback system comprising at least a profile manager, callback manager, interaction manager, media server, and environment analyzer, allowing users to call businesses, agents in contact centers, or other users who are connected to a cloud callback system, and, failing to connect to the individual they called, allow for an automatic callback object to be created, whereby the two users may be automatically called and bridged together at a time when both users are available.

Claims (22)

1. A system for intent-based active callback management using enhanced callback objects, comprising:

a callback manager comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the first plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a request for a callback to a callback recipient from a callback requester;

instantiate a first callback object;

obtain environmental context for callback requester and callback recipient;

prompt the callback requester for information pertaining to the callback request;

transcribe at least a portion of the request for a callback into a plurality of transcribed text, using speech-to-text processing;

associate a plurality of keywords with the first callback object, the keywords being based on the transcribed text; and

connect the two parties, when the two first and second called parties are online, and delete the first callback object.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of additional callback objects is retrieved, and the plurality of keywords are further based on analysis of at least one of the plurality of additional callback objects.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein an additional callback object is selected based on a keyword associated with the first callback object.

4. A method for intent-based active callback management using enhanced callback objects, comprising the steps of:

receiving a request for a callback to a callback recipient from a callback requester;

instantiating a first callback object;

obtaining environmental context for callback requester and callback recipient;

prompting the callback requester for information pertaining to the callback request;

transcribing at least a portion of the request for a callback into a plurality of transcribed text, using speech-to-text processing;

associating a plurality of keywords with the first callback object, the keywords being based on the transcribed text; and

connecting the two parties, when the two first and second called parties are online; and

deleting the first callback object.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of retrieving a plurality of additional callback objects, wherein the plurality of keywords is further based on analysis of at least one of the plurality of additional callback objects.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein an additional callback object is selected based on a keyword associated with the first callback object.
