A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11948153B1) outlines a processor-based method for managing customer call-backs in a call center setting. The method involves training a logistic regression model using historical call data, monitoring inbound calls to detect call terminations, and classifying customers into call-back groups based on likelihood indicators. The system includes a processor, a call-back management module, and a logistic regression model that applies regularization to feature selection. By analyzing IVR data and call history, the system can predict repeated call-back likelihood and future interactions, directing call-back procedures accordingly. The method also involves retrieving customer information from a CRM database and selecting preferred agents for call-backs based on classification results.

Additionally, the patent describes a system that includes a telephone calling device, an IVR unit, and a CRM database storing advisor records and product history data. The system utilizes a logistic regression model to determine call-back metrics for each advisor record and classify customers into call-back groups. By applying regularization to feature selection, the model generates likelihood indicators for repeated call-backs and future interactions. The system can initiate call-backs with preferred agents or execute automated call-back procedures based on classification results. The method also involves monitoring inbound calls, updating call records, and retrieving call history data to enhance the call-back process. Overall, the system aims to optimize call-back management in call center operations by leveraging predictive analytics and historical data analysis.
