In one embodiment, the method of processing telephony sessions includes: communicating with an application server using an application layer protocol; processing telephony instructions with a call router; and creating call router resources accessible through a call router Application Programming Interface (API). In another embodiment, the system for processing telephony sessions includes: a call router, a URI for an application server, a telephony instruction executed by the call router, and a call router API resource.

The invention provides a call-out method and apparatus for an immediate callback, an electronic device, and a computer readable medium, and can solve the problem that the existing call-out scheme of the preview type cannot effectively implement an immediate callback, and can improve user experience, increase an agent utilization rate, and reduce a pressure on a system caused by frequent scheduling of timed tasks. The call-out method for an immediate callback of the invention comprises: receiving an immediate callback request of a user, the immediate callback request including a callback number and submitted service data; determining, according to pre-stored mapping relationships between service data and agent's telephone skills, agents processing the submitted service data; and judging whether a ready agent exists in the agents, and if so, immediately calling the callback number; otherwise, calling the callback number when there is a ready agent.

Systems, methods, computer systems, and computer-readable code for implementing methods for client relation management in which fewer call-in numbers need to be maintained. A method for client relation management preserves a more-complete record of online and offline interactions of a customer with systems provided by a plurality of service providers. A session identifier (SID) is associated with a customer upon interaction of the customer with a website provided by a first service provider. Website interaction information is received from the first service provider and is associated with the SID. Information associated with an incoming call from the customer at a call-in number at a call center maintained by a second service provider is used to associate the incoming call with the SID, creating a record of an offline interaction between the customer and an agent of the call center. The record of the offline interaction is associated with the SID.

In one embodiment, the method of processing telephony sessions includes: communicating with an application server using an application layer protocol; processing telephony instructions with a call router; and creating call router resources accessible through a call router Application Programming Interface (API). In another embodiment, the system for processing telephony sessions includes: a call router, a URI for an application server, a telephony instruction executed by the call router, and a call router API resource.

A device receives, from a user device, a communication request that includes information identifying a user of the user device, an organization, and at least one reason for the communication request. The device determines, based on the communication request, information concerning the user, a telephone number associated with the organization, and a menu of an interactive voice response (IVR) system device associated with the telephone number. The device communicates, based on the information concerning the user, the menu of the IVR system device, and the at least one reason for the communication request, with the IVR system device via a communication session initiated based on the telephone number. The device determines, based on communicating with the IVR system device, a time that the user is to interact with the IVR system device via the communication session, and causes the user device to join the communication session at the time.

Systems and methods for implementing an online content item campaign with selective call functionality can include a processor determining a rendering frequency of instances of a third-party content item for rendering with a call icon, based on a resource of the third-party content provider. The processor can provide a first instance of the content item for rendering with the call icon in accordance with the rendering frequency of instances. A call bridge device can receive a call from the client computing device upon actuation of the call icon, direct the call to a phone number of the third-party content provider, and determine a parameter of the call. The processor can adjust the rendering frequency of instances based on the parameter of the call and provide instances of the content item for display by client computing devices with the call icon in accordance with the adjusted rendering frequency of instances.

In another embodiment, the system for processing telephony sessions includes: a call router, a URI for an application server, a telephony instruction executed by the call router, and a call router API resource.

The present invention relates to a method for routing communications in a telecommunications network comprising a first telephony user device and a server system. The method includes at the first telephony user device: receiving instructions to initiate communications with a contact associated with an address; initiating communications via a channel within the telecommunications network to a local address for the server system; and transmitting information associated with the contact address to the server system via the telecommunications network. A communications action is performed in relation to the contact at the server system. Other methods, devices, systems and networks for routing communications are disclosed.
