A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930054B2) discloses a system that involves a computing device with a processor and memory, along with machine-readable instructions stored in the memory. These instructions enable the device to receive intent requests from various services, collect interaction data from multiple communication channels, translate data formats to comply with a predefined schema, apply the organized data to a trained intent model, determine user intent, and notify services accordingly. The system aims to enhance user interactions by analyzing data from different channels and providing insights to improve service delivery based on user intent.

Furthermore, the patent includes a method and a computer-readable medium that follow a similar approach of translating interaction data formats, determining user intent using a trained model, and modifying outreach strategies based on the identified intent. The method involves organizing interaction data, training the intent model with historical data, and adjusting scheduled outreach messages to align with user intent. The computer-readable medium executes instructions to engage in interaction sessions, determine user intent, generate user interfaces reflecting the identified intent, and collect real-time data for model input. Overall, the patent focuses on leveraging data from various communication channels to enhance user experiences, tailor outreach strategies, and improve service delivery across different platforms like web services, chat services, phone services, email services, and text services.
