TECHNICAU FIEUD

[002] The present disclosure generally relates to messaging center and more specifically, to the messaging centers using multi-channel messaging with block-based datastore.

BACKGROUND

Nowadays, with the proliferation of devices, customers often rely on electronics for communication with a customer service agent for account or transaction resolution. In most instances, a user may use a chat session, email, or phone call to try and resolve the issue at hand. This solution however, is often fragmented and requires the user to either wait on hold, restate the issue multiple times, or be delayed in waiting for an email response. Such delay in time may lead to a poor customer experience, a loss of company goodwill, and added expenses as duplicates in architecture and data stores may exist as the customer ahempts to communicate over different channels. Thus, it would be beneficial to have the capability to present a user and service agent with a unified messaging experience that can extend across multiple channels with a combined datastore.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] In the following description, specific details are set forth describing some embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that some embodiments may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. The specific embodiments disclosed herein are meant to be illustrative but not limiting. One skilled in the art may realize other elements that, although not specifically described here, are within the scope and the spirit of this disclosure. In addition, to avoid unnecessary repetition, one or more features shown and described in association with one embodiment may be incorporated into other embodiments unless specifically described otherwise or if the one or more features would make an embodiment non-functional.

[0014] Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for communicating with a unified messaging center using multi-channel messaging with block-based datastore. In one embodiment, a system is introduced that can provide a unified experience and capability for messaging with one or more entities across platforms. The messaging capability includes the ability to provide user interaction using a single architecture with data store in a centralized form. In one embodiment, the data store includes the use of blockchain technology wherein each interaction with the user and across platforms is recorded and stored on a crystographed block. [0015] In general, messaging centers are platforms designed to provide a user with an interactive user interface and customizable homepage where the user can naviate through account information and obtain help via a live chat, email, chat hot, etc. In particular, messaging centers have become a prevalent and secure channel presented to users for contacting, inquiring, and requesting information about a pending transaction or other inquiry on a user’s account. Such messaging channel however, may be quiet fragmented requiring a user to restate their question or issue as the user is transferred between hot and agent, between agents, across emails, and between varying channels. In addition, the messaging center may require multiple data stores, duplicate architectures, and various agent’s time as a user’s data is accessed and resolution is to be determined. Therefore, a method and system for unifying a user’s communication and data is important.

[0016] Conventionally, messaging centers may be accessed on a user device via an interactive interface using at least a messaging application available on the interface. Figure 1 presents an exemplary messaging center application interface and solution 100. In particular, Figure 1 illustrates a user device 102 with messaging center interface 104. The user device 102 may be a tablet, iPad, cell phone or the like. For exemplary purposes, user device 104 can be a smart phone or laptop. The user device 102 may be equipped with various applications for performing various tasks. For example, the user device 102 may be used for web browsing, video streaming, bill payments, and online purchases. Additionally, the user device 10 be equipped with applications that enable the user to make purchases and transfers using a payment provider application and/or a digital wallet, and/or access application with the payment provider, merchant, messaging center, etc. Further, the user device 102 may be capable of making phone calls and communicating with one or more other communications devices using a cellular network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, NFC, WLAN, etc. For example, in the communication the user may communicate via the user device 102 with a service agent, hot, or other at an application dashboard of a messaging center 104. In the exemplary message center dashboard 104 of Figure 1, for example, a user can review account activity associated with a payment processing service. The account activity can include information about a user’s account balance, invoicing, and other recent activity 106. At this messaging center dashboard 104, the user may also message, chat or otherwise communicate with customer service agent regarding their account. As illustrated Figure 1, the user may also be flagged on pending notifications 108 regarding previous communications with the customer service center representative. Note that the term customer service representative is being broadly used to represent a hot, agent, or other entity which may be used in communicating with a user/customer. In some instances, the term customer service agent may be interchanged with the term customer service user or simply agent.

[0017] In this particular example, there may exist two pending notifications 108 for the user, which may relate to a user’s recent activity 106 and in particular to the repeated charges received on Aug. 25 for $11.95. These notifications 108 may be selected and may route a user to an inbox like interface where previous user interactions and communications with customer service regarding the communication on the recent activity. At the inbox interface, a user may have a safe and secure space or messaging channel where user account information may be openly discussed, issues resolved and previous communications displayed.

[0018] However, in some instances, a unified solution 122 and message center 120 that extends beyond centeralized messaging may be needed. Unified solution 122 provides some exemplary benefits and features that may be available when a message center 120 extends beyond centralized messaging. For example the unified solution 122 may include intuitive notifications 110, serve as an industry standard as a customer service model 112, provide buyer-seller messaging services 114, act as a single safe and secure channel (“source-of- truth”) 116, provide access to all messages in one location 118, and provide up-to-date product market reports and information 120. Therefore, secure documentation upload is available, security obejctives and regulations are met (e.g., European Central Board), phising is more easily combatted and avoided as account messages securely reside in a unifed location, and asynchronous communications is enabled as emails, messaging transcripts, etc. reside in a single repository. In addition, in instances where the messaging center is applicable to a payment provider service, business partners can directly and securely communicate and email customers, communications and receipt of those communications may be tracked, and document and other attachements (e.g., receipts, screen shots, jpgs., etc.) may be securely uploaded in a compliant manner.

[0019] To enable such enhancements however, an architecture that may support such unified solution is important. Therefore, turning next to Figure 2, a block diagram illustrating an exemplary messaging center architecture 200 is presented. As illustrated in Figure 2, the exemplary messaging center architecture 200 can include a series of infrastructures that can work together to provide the unified experience. At the front-end the payment provider infrastructure or other entity supporting the messaging center, first interact with the end-user via a customer web-browser 202 or other application interface on the user device 102. Illustrated here, a user may interact with a messaging center and in particular the messaging center infrusture 204 via a messaging channel. The messaging can include live messages, short message service (SMS) messging, chat hot messaging, and/or other forms of communication including but not limited to email, posts, etc.

[002Q] At the messaging center architecture 200, the message sent and communicated by the user at the customer web browser 220, may be received by a first receiving infrastructure. This first receiving infrustucter can include, for example, the messaging center infrastructure 204. The message center infrastructure 204 may operate under two zones, a first tier zone (e.g, zone 1 210) and a second tier zone (e.g., zone 2212). The first tier zone 1 210, may be a first module encountered by the the received message sent by the user at the customer web browser 202. This zone may work as an interface with the user, wherein the information (e.g., message) is received at a front-tier and adequately routed to the second tier zone 2212. For example, the front-tier may perform some operation management to determine if the message is a chat conversation or a live messaging conversation. If the messaging was via a chat hot then chat hot assistance may be provided including the start of a hot conversation. Alternatively, if an email was received, then this communication is also adequately routed.

In instances where help center or messaging center help is requested, the identification and transmission of help articles may also be delivered. Additionally, the front-tier may receive the attachements (e.g., jpgs, receipts, screen shots) included in the message and correctly route them for continued processing and resolution. To adequately route the incoming communications or messages, the font-tier may talk with the mid-tier secure messaging service to provide a gateway to the second tier zone 2212 still within the message center infrastructure 204.

[0021] At the second tier zone 2212, mid-tier messaging and email services may exist. It may be within this second tier zone 2212 that not only messaging, but also hot and email communications may be routed and queued. For example, if the messaging at the customer web browser 202 initiates with a hot request, then first tier zone 1 210 may take the communication and route it to the correct service with in the mid-tier second tier zone 2212. Then at the mid-tier second tier, once the hot conversation is initiated, the communication can be routed to the correct queue and a time estimate provided.

[0022] Further to the mid-tier messaging and email services, the communication may continue to a corporate infrastructure where another second tier may exist and bi-directional communication may occur between the mid-tier second tier 212 of the message center infrastructure 204 and a zone 4216 located within the corporate infrastructure 208. At the zone 4216 within the corporate infrastructer 208 a chat widget or other may be available for messaging and other asynchronous communications. In addition, email stores, chat and other conversations and access to inbox views may also exist and available at the corporate infrastructure 208.

|0023] Also part of the messaging center architecture 200, may be a common infrastructure 206. Again, because user account information and details may be exchanged with at least the second tier zones (e.g, zone 2212 and zone 4216), common infrastructure may also include another second tier zone (e.g., zone 3 214) where shared mid-tier services and other databases may exist. For example, at the common infrastructure 206, all domain services, APIs for profile updates and for interacting with one or more databases, and domain driven models may reside. Additionally, payment and other financial information may be stored and mid-tier services evoked. As such, bidirectional communication is also a common action that occurs between the messaging center architectrure 200 infrastructures 204, 206, and 208.

[0024] Note that the messaging center architecture 200 described herein is an exemplary architecture of what a unified messaging center architecture may look like. The messaging center architecture 200 is therefore not limited to the modules, zones, and infrastructures described herein and can include more or less components as may be necessary for perfoming and enabling unified messaging.

[0025] Turning now to Figure 3, an exemplary interactive communication that may occur over the unifed messaging center is presented. In particular, a user device 102 is illustrated with the various interactive interfaces that may be encountered as the user journeys through the messaging center for customer support.

[0026] As illustrated in Figure 3, a user on user device 102 may begin a communication at the messaging center interactive interface 302. Note that the messaging center interactive interfaces 302a-302c will be collectively referered to as messaging center interactive interface. Additionally, or alternatively, the messaging center interactive interface 302 may also refer to a home page of the messaging center which may provide a dashboard like presentation and available for accessing the interfaces as presented and as illustrated in Figure 3.

[0027] Therefore, the messaging center interactive interface 302 may provide a user with a view of recent activity including those communications occurring with customer support.

In addition, although not illustrated here and referencing Figure 1, a user balance, pending invocing, and other activity may be visible on the messaging center interface 302. Alternatively, the user may be presented with the messaging center interactive interface 302 upon actuating a notification button, submitting a request, entering a separate or pull down menu, as a result of a pop-up notification, etc.

[0028] Once at the messaging interface 302a, the user may be presented with the various messages and communications that may have occurred with customer support. As illustrated, the messages may derive from instant messaging, chat hot messaging, email, etc. Therefore, the user may have the option to select one or more messages to see communication history and even for the continued communication with customer support regarding questions or issues at hand. Alternatively, at the messaging interface 302a, the user may start a new message. The new message may be regarding a new matter, inquiry, problem, or even an existing one which is yet to be resolved.

[0029] With the use of the unified messaging center and the selection of a new message, the user may be connected with a virtual agent 304. This virtual agent 304 may be presented to the user during front-tier 210 communication wherein the user’s queries and communications are beimg queued to the appropriate channel. As an example, at messaging agent interface 302b, the user may be greeted by the virtual agent 304. The virtual agent 304 can therefore gather user inquiry details, pull user information, provide help references, and/or determine if a real agent may be needed. In this example, the user requested to speak to an agent 306. Thus, messaging may then move to the mid-tier messaging services of Figure 2, wherein the message is routed and queued. As illustrated at the messaging agent interface 302b, the virtual agent may respond with an acknowledgement and request time to find an agent. The messaging may then continue to the inquiry interface 302c where the user can communicate over his/her user device 102 with the live agent 306. At this point the user has the opportunity to send and request account information, include attachements, and pro vide/ obtain other account specific details 308 in a single secure and compliant channel. Additionally, although not illustrated here, the user may leverage the messaging center to receive and/or message a merchant directly, continue and followup on previously started inquiries, and received support across multiple channels.

[0030] Thus, turning next to Figure 4, an exemplary communication via the messaging center interface 104 across multiple channels is illustrated. Most specifically, Figure 4 illustrates a block diagram illustrating exemplary messaging with unified datastore. As previously indicated, the unified messaging center includes the communication between users 402, including at least a user 402a associated with an account service user or simply agent 420b, regarding account inquiries. Note that in some instances, the communication may also include a bot, or virtual agent. The account inquiries may include correspondence via email, chat, SMS, chat, etc.

[0031] For example, a user 402a may include a request for a clarification of a charge on an account. The user may therefore begin a conversation via chat, the chat may then route the user to some online literature and then route the user once more to a virtual agent. The virtual agent may then send the user an email with documentation regarding the charge in question via email. After the email is reviewed, the user 402a may determine further details are needed and contact the service agent user 402b. As the resolution for this inquiry takes place, the user has been routed through a series of channels and agents. Thus, in order to avoid redundancy, the unified data store 404 is presented herein wherein the service agent user 402b may obtain user inquiry information in a centeralize manner without the need for the user 402a to replicate the actions or restate the history of communication that has taken place. As such, when the user 402a contacts the service agent user 402b, the unified agent messaging center interface 412 may be presented to the service agent user 402b with visibility across the various channels as illustrated on the channel display 410. A messaging window 406 and message input 408 may also be presented as the service agent user 402b communicates with the user 402a.

[0032] To facilitate the communication, a built in application program interface (API) may be used with a set of subroutines, definitions, and communication protocols for communicating across the various channels and with the unified data store 404. The built in API may be a unified messaging API allowing the communication between the unified messaging inbox at the user’s messaging center interface and the service agent user’s unifed agent messaging center interface. The unified data store 404 may be a centralized database system, server, cloud, of other nodes and distributed storage system designed to manage and store the account information and communication details associated with a user 402a and corresponding account.

[0033] In one embodiment, and in response to the user 402a inquiring about an account or requesting account resolution, a service agent user 402b may also reach out to and attempt to communicate with the user 402a. In some instances where email communication has occurred, the correspondence with a user 402a may be lagged. Therefore, with the inclusion of the unified agent messaging center interface 412, the service agent user 402b is able to determine a best channel to use to rapidly communicate with the user 402a. As an exemplary embodiment, the unified agent messaging center interface 412 can include a display of the various channels available for communicating with user 402a. As illustrated here, the service agent user 402b is able to communicate with a user 402a via chat messages, email, SMS, etc. Thus, a user 402a availability status may be determined and communicated with more rapidly. As such, in this exemplary embodiment, the user 402a, may be online and available via chat messages, inactive via chat, and offline and unavailable via email and SMS. As a result, the customer service agent user 402b may directly contact the user 402a via chat message and the delay encountered for account resolution is minimized.

[0034] Note that availability and status of a user 402a may be obtained after proper permissions and access have been provided by the user 402a. In addition, permissions regarding the content and use of the account may also be controlled by the user 402a. Therefore, a user may designate what information may be discussed and/or updated by the service agent user 402b. For example, the customer service agent 402a, may be provided with the ability to view a balance, view and edit the user profile, discuss the account information and view transactional data.

[0035] In some embodiments, the communication within the message center may also include a communication between the user 402a and a merchant. Thus providing a secure channel where the user and the merchant may communicate in a secure and compliant environment. In this embodiment, the merchant may also be grant some or all the permissions provided to the service agent user 402b for inquiries and discussions regarding the user’s account.

[0036] Still in other embodiments, the communication may extend across platforms and into social media channels. For example, a user may communicate and/or include availability across applications and platforms including but not limited to Facebook™ messenger, Android™ messaging platform, and Whatsapp™. Consequently, the status of the user on these platforms may also be provided to the service agent user 402b and/or merchant.

[0037] Because user account compliance is of outmost importance, the unified datastore may be extended for and/or used in conjunction with blockchain technology. Figure 5 presents one such configuration, where a blockchain engine may be used in the storage and interaction with the various platforms. In particular, Figure 5 illustrates an exemplary block- diagram illustrating blockchain datastore.

[0038] As generally illustrated in Figure 5, the blockchain engine 512 may permit the sharing and storage of content 504 from the various platforms 502 and with the user device 102 associated with user 402a and/or the service agent user 402b. More specifically, the block chain engine 512 may provide a user 402 content 504 associated with the user account and availability. In one embodiment, the block chain engine 512 may include an ID generator 506, a blockchain generator 508, and a policies and validation module 510. The ID generator 506 may generate a content identifier (not shown) associated with the content 504 communicated between the platforms502, devices 202 , systems, and engine and stored on a blockchain 514. The content identifier may be in binary, numeric, or alphanumeric.

[0039] The blockchain generator 508 may be used to generate the blockchain 514. The blockchain 514 may be a continuously growing list or records or blocks which are linked and secured using cryptography. In one embodiment, the blockchain 514 may contain a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and current content 504. For example, each block 516 in blockchain 514 may contain a separate conversation, an attachment, a query, or other associated with a communication with a user 402a of an account. In some embodiments, the block may be associated with a communication on one of the platforms 502A and its associated content 504a-504b. Additionally, another block maybe associated with another communication between another platform 502B and its associated content 504c-504d. Alternatively, a sidechain may be included and used for another communication with the another platform 502B and its associated content 504c-504d. The content 504e may then be maintained in the blockchain 514 and in some instances shared directly with the user device and/or accessed indirectly through the blockchain 514. A timestamp may also be indicated on the block 516 with regards to when it was created, and/or the time the conversation, email, or other exchange occurred.

[Q04Q] A policies and validation module 510 may also be used in association with the block chain engine 512. This policies and validation module 510 may be used for ensuring correct, compliant, and controlled information/content is stored in the blockchain 514. In one embodiment, document share should meet compliance, policies and standards. In another embodiment, customer account detail storage should meet restrictions based on regions or security standards (e.g., Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standard). In one example, protection protection may be provided by the blockchain. In such example, the security measure may be executed as a user 402 is interacting with the unified messaging center and provides bank account details while on a Facebook™ messenger or other social media platform. Such share of information may be prohibited from being stored on a blockchain 514, as such, a PCI Standard inspection mechanism may be available and included in the policies and validation module 510 to ensure such information is not shared, posted, and/or stored. For example, in this instance, the PCI Standard inspection mechanism may trigger such policy violation and as such disdables the block 516 which included the account information. In this example, where the block is disabled the hash may be modified and a duplicate block created with the bank account details and other prohibited information masked or erased. In another example, the PCI standard inspection mechanism may identify this violation and block the ability to save to the block all together. Therefore, the blockchain generator may have mechanisms in place for correct blockchain generation and usage.

[0041] The blockchain engine 512, may also be used to ensure correct storage of information occurs. In some embodiments a user 402a may be interacting with the service agent user 402b and documents, emails, and the sort may be exchanged without between the users 402 within or across platforms. As such, the blockchain engine 512 may also be used to track the communication including the emails, documents, and other relevant information that was exchanged. In such embodiments, the blockchain engine 512 may also create a block with corresponding ID indicating that an email was exchanged with a description and/or inclusion of the email. Similarly, if a document was included, article provided, or account updated, a block may be created to track the actions between the users 402 amd/or on the account. Note that other actions, policies, and validations may also occur which are not included here. The examples provided are presented here for reference as exemplary capabilities available by the system.

[0042] Turning next to Figure 6, an exemplary communication across the various platforms on a blockchain is provided. In particular, Figure 6 illustrates an exemplary block- diagram 600 illustrating multi-channel blockchain/unified datastore. As illustrated, a blockchain 514 is presented here to illustrate, track and store a communication between a user 402a (illustrated here as customer) and a customer service user 402b (illustrated here as agent). In the exemplary block diagram 600, a communication between he users 402 is presented and the method for tracking and datastore presented. For example, consider a user 402 in need of help resolving a duplicate charge. The user 402a begins the conversation with a request via bot through the messaging center interactive interface 302. This initial request may be received and stored in a corresponding customer message block 602a. As the bot responds and determines the user’s needs, the response may be logged at agent response 604a. The user 402a, may then require more specific information and request an agent, a block detailing the request may be stored at the customer message block 602b. In response an agent is connected and determines that some account information may need to be retrieved and terminates the conversation to avoid the hold. This exchange is logged at agent response 604b. Thus, as resolution to the user’s request takes place, the communication and exchange is logged and tracked over a series of blocks. Additionally or alternatively, the information may also be logged in a centralized datastore. [0043] Returning to Figure 6, in the example, the conversation concluded. However, the user’s request may remain pending as the agent (service agent user 402b) clarifies, finds, or identifies the additional information needed to address the user’s request.. As the agent identifies the information, he/she may rely on the use of the unified agent messaging center interface 412, as previously introduced for a unifed view and visibility across the various channels as illustrated on the channel display 410. A messaging window 406 and message input 408 may also be presented as the service agent user 402b communicates with the user 402a. Thus, the unified agent messaging center interface 412 may provide the service agent user 402b with the ability to locate and determine a user’s availability for a quick request resolution. At Figure 6 for example, various platforms are illustrated where a user 402a may be available. As illustrated here, the service agent user 402b is able to communicate with a user 402a via chat messages, email, SMS, etc. At the blockchain, the various channels/platforms would also be mimicked and available for tracking the user interaction in the form of a sidechain. The sidechains 612 may be blockchains separate from the blockchain 514, but still associated with the customer interaction. Thus, at Figure 6, each sidechain may be used to represent a platform. Accordingly, sidechain 606 may represent the blockchain for a first platform A and its interactions with regards to the communication occurring between the customer (user 402) and customer service user 402b (agent).

Similarly, sidechains 608 and 610 correspond to the blocks associated with platforms B and C respectively. Therefore, if time/availability is monitored and recordered on each sidechain for the corresponding chain, as the customer service user 402b communicates with the user 402a, the sidechain and corresponding block may be updated accordingly. In an alternate embodiment, the sidechain is created and updated as the user communicates on the specified platform. For example, if the user communicates via SMS, then sidechain supporting that platform will be generated and updated. As the number and types of platforms change, so will the sidechains and the corresponding blocks. In the example provided at Figure 6 for example, the customer service user 402b may quickly see that user 402a is available online and may reach out via Chat messaging. If the communication occurs and information is exchanged, then the sidechain supporting such platform will be updated according. Thus with the online and immediate status available, a customer service user 402b is able to provide quicker and more efficient resolution to the user 402a while minimizing user 402a friction through the user and access to not only user availability but also account history in a centralized datastore and/or blockchain. In some embodiments, if the system detects that the user is transitioned to offline, autoforwarding may be incorporated where a message may be re-directed to the next available channel and corresponding sidechain.

[0044] Turning next to Figure 7, the process for enabling such unified communication in a unified multi-channel messaing system is presented. In particular, Figure 7 is a flow diagram 700 illustrating operations for unified multi-channel messaging and block-based datastore. Thus, Figure 7 introduces an example process 700 which may be implemented on a system 800 of Figure 8, with blockchain technology as described in Figure 5 and with device 900 of Figure 9.

[0045] According to some embodiments, process 700 may include one or more of operations 702-716, which may be implemented, at least in part, in the form of executable code stored on a non-transitory, tangible, machine readable media that, when run on one or more hardware processors, may cause a system to perform one or more of the operations 702- 716.

[0046] To illustrate how the unified messaging system 200 may be used, process 700 is presented. Process 700 begins with operation 702 where a communication request is received at the unified messaging system 200. The request may be sent by a user 402a via a chat, hot, call, email, or other communication means available to obtain help on a question, problem, inquiry or concern regariding a merchant, payment provider, or other entity associated with the unified messaging center. By receiving the communication request, the unified messaging center may retrieve a retrieval instruction where at operation 704 user profile information and/or account details may be retrieved. For example is the user’s communication request includes an inquiry about a payment made with a merchant, the unified messaging system may commence by obtaining the user details associated with the user and the specific payment in question. Note that in some instances, user information and account details may not be necessary as the inquiry may be a more general request which may be answered or addressed without the need to retrieve user information. Additionally or alternatively, the user 402a may not be a current customer thus account information and profile may not be available. As such, operation 704 may occur later in the process 700 or may be optional. In addition, note that in some instaces, operation 704 may occur prior to the user account information and profile detail retrieval of operation 702. That is to say, the routing process may occur before user details are retrieved.

[0047] Once user information is retrieved (as necessary), process 700 may continue to operation 706. At operation 706, the communication moves to through the messaging center infrastructure where routing, reviewing, and restricted information may be reviewed. At the messaging center infrustucture, the message center front-tier zone may be encountered. As previously indicated, at the front-tier may perform some operation management to determine if the message is a chat conversation or a live messaging conversation. That is to say, the front-tier may be used to determine an inquiry type to route to the appropriate agent. For example, if the messaging was via a chat hot then chat hot assistance may be provided including the start of a hot conversation. Alternatively, if an email was received, then this communication is also adequately routed. In instances where help center or messaging center help is requested, the identification and transmission of help articles may also be delivered. Additionally, the front-tier may receive the attachements (e.g., jpgs, receipts, screen shots), correctly route them, and communicate with a mid-tier as necessary. Additionally, if a help message is sent and a chat hot is more appropriate to handle, routing between the agents may also occur based in part on the inquiry type. Also, if more than one inquiry is received or additional topics are detected, then routing may vary based on communication request.

[0048] At operation 708, to adequately route the incoming communications or messages, the font-tier may talk with the mid-tier secure messaging service. Again as previously indicated, the mid-tier may include a gateway to the second tier zone where account information, documents, and other more delicate conversations may take place. In addition, at the mid-tier second tier zone, routing to a hot, email, chat, etc., can occur such that once the communication is routed to a correct queue and a time estimate may be provided. The communication routed can include an interface or direct communication with merchants associated with the user. Emails, chats, and other communications may be stored, synchoronized and/or added the unified datastore. Additionally or alternatively, data may be stored on a blockchain.

[0049] At operation 710, as the communication has began between the user and the unified messaging system 200 and where the information is stored on a blockchain 514, communication may continue to the blockchain engine 512 where the appropriate cryptographic block and corresponding hash/ID may be generated. Recall that a blockchain 514 may be used for the storage of the communication with the unified messaging system 200, as indicated at operation 712. The use of the blockchain 514 is advantages as communication history may be stored and accessed as a user’s account inquiry is yet to be resolved and avoids the need to replicate the exchange. In one embodiment, the blockchain engine 512 may communicate directly with the front-tier and/or the mid-tier as the communication is being routed such that the communication is checked and blockchain removed, updated, replicated, or not created based on the information included in the communication. Note that the blockchain 514 generation may also reside outside this operation and exist at an earlier operation when the unified messaging system first receives a request. Also note that one or more blockchains 514 may be generated as the user 402 has various inquiries or topics to address. In addition, if communication occurs over varying channels, the blockchain generation can include a sidechain. Similarly, as the unified messaging system is used in conjunction with one or more merchants, sidechains 612 may also be used and generated. These blockchains 514 and sidechains 612 may be generated in parallel as the user communication includes multiple topics and/or over multiple channes/platforms. The blockchains 514 and sidechains 612 may terminate and grow interminately as time lapse occurs between communications. Blockchains 514 may also exist in conjunction with the unified data store 404 (as necessary) such as that introduced in Figure 4.

[Q05Q] At operation 714, the process may check for additional communication occurring. Therefore, as more information is being exchanged between the user 402a and the unified messagin system 202, the process continues to operation 708 where the communication is again evaluated and routed. Alternatively, as the inquiry is addressed or communication is stalled, the process continues to operation 716 where the block is terminated.

10051] Note that the operations presented at Figure 7 are for exemplary purposes and more or less operations may be possible. In addition, the operations may exists in a different order. For example, operations may vary as the communication varies topics, status, channel, etc. and the generation of the block changes.

[0052] Turning next to Figure 8, an exemplary communication system is presented where the user 402a is communicating with a primary user device 832 with the unified messaging center 202 via a third party service provider computer 812 and a merchant may be involved and communcaited with via merchant device 802. Figure 8 is a block diagram of a networked system for implementing the processes described herein, according to an embodiment. In particular, Figure 8 illustrates a block diagram of a system 800 for completing transactions and addressing user 402 inquiries. System 800 illustrates at least some of the interactions between multiple entities and/or devices as the inquiries are addressed. As shown, system 800 may include or implement a plurality of devices, computers, servers, and/or software components that operate to perform various methodologies in accordance with the described embodiments. It will be appreciated that the devices, computers, and/or servers illustrated in Figure 8 may be deployed differently and that the operations performed and/or the services provided by such devices, computers, and/or servers may be combined or separated for a given embodiment and may be performed by a greater number or fewer number of devices, computers, and/or servers. Furthermore, one or more of the devices, computers, and/or servers may be operated and/or maintained by the same or different entities.

[0053] System 800 includes a merchant device 802, a primary user device 832 (e.g., user device 202), and a third-party service provider computer 812 in communication over a network 250. The merchant device 802, primary user device 832, and third-party service provider computer 812, may each include one or more processors, memories, and other appropriate components for executing computer-executable instructions such as program code and/or data. The computer-executable instructions may be stored on one or more computer readable mediums or computer readable devices to implement the various applications, data, and steps described herein. For example, such instructions may be stored in one or more computer readable media such as memories or data storage devices internal and/or external to various components of system 800, and/or accessible over network 850. [0054] The merchant device 802 may be implemented as a communication device that may utilize appropriate hardware and software configured for wired and/or wireless communication with the primary user device 832, third-party service provider computer 812, and/or secondary user device (not shown). For example, the merchant device 802 may be implemented as a personal computer (PC), a smart phone, laptop/tablet computer, point-of- sale device, wristwatch with appropriate computer hardware resources, eyeglasses with appropriate computer hardware, other type of wearable computing device, implantable communication devices, and/or other types of computing devices capable of transmitting and/or receiving data.

[0055] The merchant device 802 may include one or more payment applications 804, other applications 806, a database 808, and a network interface component 810. The payment applications 804 and other applications 806 may correspond to executable processes, procedures, and/or applications with associated hardware. In other embodiments, merchant device 802 may include additional or different components having specialized hardware and/or software to perform operations associated with the payment applications 804 and/or the other applications 806.

[0056] The payment application 804 may facilitate financial transactions corresponding to the sale of goods and/or services offered by the merchant. For example, the payment application 804 may provide an interface for customers to purchase the goods or services and to receive customer payment information (e.g., customer credit card information). The payment application 804 may further transmit customer payment information to a payment processor (e.g., such as a payment processor corresponding to the third-party service provider computer 812 to process the customer payment information. The payment application 804 may also facilitate other types of financial transactions such as banking, online payments, money transfer, and/or the like.

[0057] The merchant device 802 may execute the other applications 806 to perform various other tasks and/or operations corresponding to the merchant device 802. For example, the other applications 806 may include security applications for implementing client-side security features, programmatic client applications for interfacing with appropriate application programming interfaces (APIs) over network 850, or other types of applications. The other applications 806 may also include additional communication applications, such as email, texting, voice, and instant messaging (IM) applications that enable a user to send and receive emails, calls, texts, and other notifications through the network 850. In various embodiments, the other applications 806 may include location detection applications, such as a mapping, compass, and/or global positioning system (GPS) applications, which may be used to determine a location of the merchant device 802. The other applications 806 may include social networking applications. Additionally, the other applications 806 may include device interfaces and other display modules that may receive input and/or output information. For example, the other applications 206 may include a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to provide an interface to the user and enable the use of one or more features for completing transactions between marketplaces. Still in other embodiments, the other applications may include an application used for communicating with the third-party service provider computer 812 for interfacing with the unified messaging center 202.

[0058] The merchant device 802 may further include a database 808, which may be stored in a memory and/or other storage device of the merchant device 802, in a unified datastore 404, and/or blockchain 514. The database 808 may include, for example, identifiers (IDs) such as operating system registry entries, cookies associated with the payment application 804, tokens, encryption keys, and/or other applications 806, IDs associated with hardware of the network interface component 810, IDs used for payment/user/device authentication or identification, and/or other appropriate IDs. The database 808 may also include information corresponding to one or purchase transactions of customers who have purchased goods or services from the merchant, browsing histories of the customers, or other types of customer information. In certain embodiments, the merchant device 802 may also include information corresponding to payment tokens, such as payment tokens generated by the third-party service provider computer 812 and/or generated by the secondary user device, server, or other system.

[0059] The merchant device 802 may also include at least one network interface component 810 configured to communicate with various other devices such as the primary user device 832, and the third-party service provider computer 812. In various embodiments, network interface component 810 may include a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem, a Public Switched Telephone Network (PTSN) modem, an Ethernet device, a broadband device, a satellite device and/or various other types of wired and/or wireless network communication devices including microwave, radio frequency, infrared, Bluetooth®, Bluetooth low-energy, near field communication (NFC) devices, and/or the like.

[0060] The third-party service provider computer 812 may be maintained, for example, by a third-party service provider, which may provide payment processing services for the merchant. In one example, the third-party service provider may be provided by PAYPAL®, Inc. of San Jose, CA, USA. Alternatively, the third-party service provider computer 812 may be associated with a user of the user device 102. As such, the third-party service provider computer 812 includes one or more payment processing applications 814, which may be configured to process payment information received from the merchant device 802 or from a selection at the user device 102. For example, the payment application 804 of the merchant device 802 may receive payment information from a customer to purchase a service or good offered by the merchant. Upon receipt of the payment information, the payment application 804 may transmit the payment information to the third-party service provider computer 812. The payment processing application 814 of the third-party service provider computer 812 may receive and process the payment information. As another example, the payment application 804 can present a payment code on a display of the user device 102 associated with the merchant. The payment code can be scanned or transmitted to the merchant device 802 for payment processing. Still in another example, the payment provider may include an icon that may be squeezed, swiped, tapped, or other for the processiding of a transaction.

[0061] The third-party service provider computer 812 may execute the other applications 816 to perform various other tasks and/or operations corresponding to the third-party service provider computer 812. For example, the other applications 816 may include security applications for implementing client-side security features, programmatic client applications for interfacing with appropriate APIs over the network 850, or other types of applications. The other applications 816 may also include additional communication applications, such as email, texting, voice, and IM applications that enable communication of emails, calls, texts, and other notifications through the network 850. In various embodiments, the other applications 816 may include location detection applications, such as a mapping, compass, and/or GPS applications, which may be used to determine a location of the third-party service provider computer 812. Additionally, the other applications 816 may include device interfaces and other display modules that may receive input and/or output information. For example, the other applications 816 may include a GUI configured to provide an interface to one or more users in association with the unified messaging system 200.

[0062] The third-party service provider computer 812 may further include a database 818, which may be stored in a memory, other storage device of the third-party service provider computer 812, a unified datastore, blockchain, etc.. The database 818 may include, for example, IDs such as operating system registry entries, cookies associated with the payment processing application 814 and/or other the applications 816, IDs associated with hardware of the network interface component 822, IDs used for payment/user/device authentication or identification, and/or other appropriate IDs. In some embodiments, the database 818 may be different and distinct from the unified data store and/or blockchain ans used for storing the IDs, etc., while the datastore and/blockchain may be more specific to user interactions, inquiries, requests, and other communications associated with the unified messaging system. [0063] According to a particular embodiment, the third-party service provider computer 812 may include a set of payment profiles 820 corresponding to past sales transactions executed by the merchant device 802 with respect to one or more customers of the merchant. Alternatively, the third-party service provider computer 812 may include a set of merchant payment profiles corresponding to the payment sources associated to a corresponding merchant. For example, a particular payment profile from the set of payment profiles 820 may include payment information corresponding to a particular customer of the merchant and/or a merchant associated with a user. The payment information may include credit card information (e.g., card number, expiration date, security code, card issuer, and/or the like), Automated Clearing House (ACH) information (e.g., account number, routing number, and/or the like), identification information associated with the particular customer/user (e.g., a customer identifier, name, address, phone number, date of birth, and/or the like), billing information, and/or any other type of payment information associated with the particular customer which may not exist on the blockchain or maintained separately in the unified datastore. Furthermore, other payment profiles of the set of payment profiles 820 may include payment information corresponding to other customers of the merchant and/or other merchants associated with the user. In addition, the third-party service provider computer 812 may store the set of payment profiles 820 according to a first file format.

[0064] The third-party service provider computer 812 may also store a set of payment tokens corresponding to the set of payment profiles 820. For example, each payment profile of the set of payment profiles 820 may be associated with a corresponding payment token from the set of payment tokens. In some embodiments, each payment profile may include a corresponding payment token from the set of payment tokens. The set of payment tokens may be particular to the third-party service provider computer 812 (e.g., computers from other service providers may be unable to use the set of payment tokens) and may enable the merchant device 802 to more securely process payment transactions with the third-party service provider computer 812. For example, in order to process a payment transaction that involves a credit card number associated with a particular payment profile, the third-party service provider computer 812 may provide the merchant device 802 with a particular payment token that is different from the credit card number. The merchant device 802 may use the particular payment token to process the payment transaction instead of the credit card number. Further, the merchant device may store and associate the particular payment token with the particular payment profile instead of the credit card number, thereby protecting the credit card number from being stolen in a potential security breach of the merchant device 802.

[0065] In various embodiments, the third-party service provider computer 812 may also include a unified messaging component 824 designed to communicate, interface, and otherwise exchange information with the unified messaging system 200.

In one embodiment, the primary user device 832 may be user device 102 communicating with another device, a merchant device and/or service provider 812.

[0068] The primary user device 832 may include a payment processing application 826 that may be used as a digital wallet that can communicate with a merchant device 202, secondary and/or third party service provider 812 for purchasing, transacting, and communicating. The payment processing application 826, can work jointly with database 830 for retrieving bank account information, user accounts, security codes, tokens that may be associated with various merchant locations. Similarly, the payment processing application, can also provide access to the user profiles for determining which payment method, processing code, to use at a merchant location or in associationg with the unified messaging system 200.

[0069] The primary user device 836 may also include other applications 828 to perform various other tasks and/or operations corresponding to the primary user device 224. For example, the other applications 828 may facilitate communication with the merchant device 802, such as to receive an indication, from the merchant device 802, to switch payment processing services from the third-party service provider to the service provider. As another example, the other applications 828 may include security applications, application that enable designation of a primary interactive device, applications that allow for web site searches (including access to merchant websites), and applications that enable user interaction with the unified messaging center. The other applications 828 may also include additional communication applications, such as email, texting, voice, and IM applications that enable communication of emails, calls, texts, and other notifications through the network 850. In various embodiments, the other applications 828 may include location detection applications, such as a mapping, compass, and/or GPS applications, which may be used to determine a location of the user device 102 (primary user device 832). The other applications may 828 social networking applications. Additionally, the other applications 828 may include device interfaces and other display modules that may receive input and/or output information. For example, the other applications 828 may include a GUI configured to provide an interface to one or more users.

[0070] The primary user device 224 may further include a database 830, which may be stored in a memory and/or other storage device of the primary user device 824. The database 830 may include, for example, identifiers (IDs) such as operating system registry entries, cookies associated with a web browser and/or the other applications 828, IDs associated with hardware of the network interface component 834, IDs used for payment/user/device authentication or identification, bank information, merchant information, user accounts, and/or other appropriate IDs. In addition, the database 830 may include user identifier information which can be used in conjunction with a secondary user device, merchant, and/or third-party service provider computer 812 during an explicit code exchange and/or contextual information for web browser authentication. Further, the database 830 may include user selected gestures for the authentication, and processing of transactions.

[0071] Primary user device 824, can also be equipped with various sensors to provide sensed characteristics about the primary user device 224 and its environment. For example, the sensors can include a camera for taking images of the surroundings used to determine the information to provide a user (e.g., camera used for scanning a QR code or scanning a user eye/pupil or other biometric). As another example, the sensors can include microphones for receiving audio signals which can be used to detect location, and other relevant terms that may be spoken. Further, the sensors can include an accelerometer, a light sensor, a biometric sensor, temperature sensor, etc. For example, the biometric sensor can be used to collect a user fingerprint scan. Each type of sensor providing various characteristics about the device, user, or environment. The sensors may also be used in conjunction with the unified messaging system 200 for authentication and/or communication using voice and/or biometric recognition.

[0072] The primary user device 832 may also include at least one network interface component 834 configured to communicate with various other devices such as the merchant device 802, the third-party service provider computer 812, and/or any other secondary user device.

In various implementations, a device that includes computer system 900 may comprise a personal computing device (e.g., a smart or mobile device, a computing tablet, a personal computer, laptop, wearable device, PDA, etc.) that is capable of communicating with a network 926 (network 850). A third-party service provider and/or a content provider may utilize a network computing device (e.g., a network server) capable of communicating with the network. It should be appreciated that each of the devices utilized by users, service providers, and content providers may be implemented as computer system 900 in a manner as follows. In addition, it should be appreciated that the device may include one used at the merchant as a merchant device 802, third-party service provider computer 812, and/or primary user device 832 (e.g., user device 102).

[0074] Additionally, as more and more devices become communication capable, such as new smart devices using wireless communication to report, track, message, relay information and so forth, these devices may be part of computer system 900. For example, windows, walls, and other objects may double as touch screen devices for users to interact with. Such devices may be incorporated with the systems discussed herein.

[0075] Computer system 900 may include a bus 910 or other communication mechanisms for communicating information data, signals, and information between various components of computer system 900. Components include an input/output (I/O) component 904 that processes a user action, such as selecting keys from a keypad/keyboard, selecting one or more buttons, links, actuatable elements, etc., and sending a corresponding signal to bus 910.
