A differentiated routing system includes an electronic service in communication with an ingress gateway that receives a communication service, such as a call from a terminal, over a trunk. The service receives a request from the ingress gateway for establishing a communication service for the calling party terminal. The service obtains information associated with the calling party terminal, which may be based on the trunk and its relationship to a customer, in which the information is to be used for applying at least one of a routing decision and policy decision to the communication service, and appends a tag to the request based on the information. The service may then transmit the request appended with the information to a routing device, which may then use the information when providing the service.

A method and system are provided for routing a call initiated by a member of an organization having communication servers for handling the call routing, wherein the organization communication servers are located at different geographical areas. Media routing decisions are made within a distributed communications system that spans both managed and unmanaged networks, while taking into account a large set of input metrics. The method and system optimize the call routing for quality of experience while maintaining restrictions posed by companies and organizations that need to adhere to strict policies, either internal or external, such as governance and regulation.

A call processing system and method for processing calls from high volume callers. A frequency of call activity is monitored for callers to determine reception of a call from a high frequency caller. When a call is received from such a caller, provided is information predicted to be requested from the caller prior to the caller being voice connected to a company representative. The retrieved information is then provided to a company representative prior to the caller being voice connected with a company representative as to expedite the call. Additionally, a customized message for the high frequency caller may be generated prior to the caller being voice connected with a company representative whereby the customized message contains information predicted to be responsive to a predicted inquiry from the determined high frequency caller to mitigate the need to connect the caller to a company representative.

Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to routing decisions implemented in response to data communications. According to a specific example, one or more computer processor circuits are configured and arranged to interface with remotely-situated client entities using a first programming language, and to provide a database of data communications services based on a subscription. In response to receipt of a data communication, client-specific sets of control data can be identified. The client-specific sets of control data are derived from programming instructions received over a message exchange protocol and corresponding to a second programming language that is compatible with the first programming language. Based on the client-specific sets of control data and using a numbering plan area (NPA) code of the received data communication, a nearest extension of the client entity can be identified, and the received data communication can be routed to the nearest extension.

Provided is a country-specific telephone number system analysis system. The system includes a telephone number system analysis logic server; a number analysis machine learning system; a country-specific international call service provider information database; a country-specific telephone number system information database; and a telephone call connection logic database. The telephone number system analysis logic server receives a target telephone number of a telephone call from a user terminal, and checks whether the target telephone number conforms to an international telephone number system protocol. When it is determined that the target telephone number does not conform to the international telephone number system protocol, the number analysis machine learning system identifies a country corresponding to the target telephone number by accessing the country-specific telephone number system information database. When the country and an international call service provider are identified by the number analysis machine learning system, the target telephone number is dialed after adding a dial code of the international call service provider and a country code as prefixes before the target telephone number, based on the telephone call connection logic database.

A dynamic communication management system manages the exchange of phone-based communications between devices using dynamically determined routing data. The routing for the phone-based communications can be dynamically determined such that certain identifying information is provided to destination devices instead of the identifying information that would be provided without the services of the dynamic communication management system.

A call processing system and method for providing a secondary information channel to a caller. Upon reception of a call from a caller to a customer service representative on a primary access channel determine a device (secondary device) associated with the caller that is separate from the device the caller is using for the primary access channel. The secondary device is to be used to provide a secondary information access channel. The secondary information access channel is complimentary to the primary access channel between the caller and the customer service representative and is utilized to deliver information content to the caller and/or provide other services supportive of the conversation with the company service representative.

Methods and systems for multiple channel authentication are described. In one embodiment, a request for an interaction is initiated from within a mobile application. The request may include authentication information and contextual information relating to a current exchange between the mobile application and an organization. The user may be authenticated with the authentication information and the request may be routed to a representative based on the contextual information to continue the exchange.

One or more aspects of the disclosure relate to various functions and processes related to routing of calls based on origination and/or destination information. In one aspect, a method may comprise receiving a request for a call session, and the request may include an indicator that may indicate whether to route a call based on origination and/or destination information of the call session. Based on the indicator, a routing element may determine whether the call session should be routed based on origination information and/or destination information.

A group routing server, communication devices, and related methods are described. The group routing server may comprise a processor operably coupled with communication elements and memory, and be configured to determine a destination communication device from among a plurality of communication devices to which an incoming call is to be routed, determine whether an assistive communication service is needed for providing interpretive services based, at least in part, on differing communication abilities between a far-end user associated with a far-end communication device initiating the incoming call and a near-end user associated with the destination communication device, route the incoming call to the assistive communication service according to the routing rules if the assistive communication device is determined to be needed, and route the incoming call directly to the communication service according to the routing rules if the assistive communication device is not determined to be needed.
