[0001] This application is a Continuation In Part (CIP ) of

entitled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUAL PRE
SENTATION AND SELECTION OF IVR MENU ' which
was filed on Dec. 12,2014. U .S. Non -provisional applica
tion Ser. No. 14/568,120 is a Continuation of U .S. Non

TEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUAL PRESENTATION
AND SELECTION OF IVRMENU ' which was filed on Jul.
3 , 2013. U .S . Non -provisional application Ser. No. 13/934,
248 which is a Continuation of U .S .Non-Provisional appli
cation Ser. No. 13/186,984 entitled 'SYSTEMS AND
METHODS FOR VISUAL PRESENTATION AND
SELECTION OF IVR MENU ' which was filed on Jul. 20 ,
2011, and is now a Patenthaving U .S . Pat. No. 8,903,073.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention relatesto InteractiveVoiceResponse
(IVR) system and more specifically the invention relates to
visual selection of IVR option from a caller device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology is
generally used to detectvoice and key inputs from a caller.
The adventofInteractive Voice Response (IVR)systemshas
reduced operating costs for many types of businesses for
providing services.Generally, the IVR systemsallow a user
to interactwith an audio or visual response system . The IVR
systems can provide prompts to a user and receive touch
tone and/orspoken responses on theprompts from theuser.
Through such IVR dialogue the system collects sufficient
information about the user to direct the call to the most
appropriate resource, information processing system or the
like.
[0004] Generally,when the callercalls a destination,such
as a bank , an automated audio IVR menu is played. The
audio IVR menu can contain instructionsto provide instant
services such as accountbalance inquiry when the destina
tion is a bank . Further, audio menu can provide options for
the caller to connect to a desired end inside the destination.
For example, themenu may directthecallerto press various
keys on a telephone to connect to a particular department or
agent. The audio IVR menu is designed specific to a
destination. Therefore, each destination or organization may
have different audio IVR menus. Further, the IVR menu in
an organization can be based on the type of departments,
type of services, customer care executives or agents and so
forth . For example, an IVR menu of a bank may include
options related to the account details ofthe caller, while an
IVR menu of a pizzeria may contain options to order or
select a pizza.
[0005] Typically, the caller calling the destination may
have to listen and follow instructions on themenu to get a
desired response or a function performed. Therefore, the
process can be timeconsuming.Moreover, in case the caller
provides an incorrect input, the complete processmay have
to be repeated. Furthermore, the IVR menu for an organi-
zation may be updated or changed regularly. For example,
extension numbers inside an organization may be changed
and correspondingly, the extension numbers associated with
the IVR menu may be updated. As a result, a frequent caller
may not be able to reach a desired end by remembering a
combination of numbers. Furthermore, the dialed destina
tion may notinclude the information desired by the user. In
such a case, the usermay have to call the destination again
for retrieving the desired information. Therefore, the user
may become frustrated with the IVR systems.
10006) Usually, the IVR menus are samefor all the users.
Therefore, the customerhasto listen them carefully to select
the appropriate option. The usermay have to wait for long
time for receiving information while interacting with the
IVR systems.Moreover, sometimes the requested informa
tion mightnotbeavailable atthe timewhen theuser callsthe
destination. Therefore, the usermay have to eitherwait for
long time or call again later. For example, the user may
desire to talk to a customer care executive of thedestination ,
who is busy at the time ofthe call. Therefore, the call ofthe
user may be put on hold or hemay be asked to call later.
[0007] Some prior art try to address this problem by
providing visual form of IVR. These prior arts display the
IVR menu graphically on a caller device. U.S. Pat. No.
7,215,743 assigned to InternationalBusinessMachines Cor
poration and a published U .S. patent application with Ser.
No. 11/957,605, filed Dec. 17, 2007 and assigned to
Motorola Inc.,provides the IVR menu of the destination in
a visual form to the caller. The caller can select the options
from the IVR menu without listening to the complete audio
IVR menu. However, the IVR menu displayed on the caller
device is stored on an IVR server at the destination end. As
a result, the visual IVR menu is specific to the destination
and only the IVR of the destination dialed is displayed.
These techniques therefore, require each destination to set
up hardware,software and other facilities to be deployed for
providing visual IVR servers.
10008] A U .S. Pat. No. 7,460,652, assigned to AT & T
Intellectual Property I, L .P., discloses techniques for call
routing and communication with a call originator. The call
may be received at an automated call handling system .
Thereafter, the call is evaluated based on a set ofbusiness
rules and routed to an interactive voice response unit based
on the evaluation. Further, the interactive voice response
unit automatically schedules and sends an email to the
originator of the call. However, the scheduling of the email
is performed after establishing a communication with the
automated callhandling system .Moreover, the scheduling is
performed at the automated call handling system .
[0009] Another existing technique as disclosed in U .S.
Pat. No. 6,560,320 assigned to International Business
Machines Corporation enables an operator of the IVR to
send customized signals to the caller for generating and
displaying graphical elements on the device of the caller.
Thereafter, the caller can respond by selecting options
through touch -screen interface of the device. Dual Tone
Multi frequency (DTMF) signals ofthe IVR .However, this
technique requires a specifically configured device to inter
pret the codes sent as Dual Tone Multi frequency (DTMF)
signals for generating the graphics.Moreover, an operator is
required to present the graphics to the caller. Furthermore,
specialized software andhardware are required at theopera
tor to design and generate DTMF codes. Therefore, the
technique faces various practicallimitations.
US 2017/0289332 A1 Oct. 5, 2017
[0010] Generally, the IVR menus of the organizationsare
in form ofaudiblemenu.Moreover,there are a largenumber
oforganizations that use IVR menus. Therefore, converting
the audible menus to visual IVR menus can be time con
suming. An existing technique, as disclosed in U .S. Pat.No.
6,920,425 assigned to Nortel Networks Limited, discloses
an automated scriptto convert the audible menus scripts to
visual IVR menu scripts. However, the audible menus
scripts must be available in a particular format to enable the
conversion. Furthermore, the audio menu scripts must be
available or downloadable for the program to function.As a
result,only the audio menus scripts that are available can be
converted to visual IVR menu scripts. Furthermore, the
device of the caller must be designed or programmed to
understand the visual IVR menu scripts.
[0011] Various organizations encourage the customers to
call them for information on their products or services, or for
helping existing customers.Generally, a contact number is
provided by the organizations on their website as a button .
Therefore, when the customer presses the button a form is
displayed. The customer then enters his contact number
where an executive from the organization may call. How

ever, the technique discussed in the paper is limited to the
visual content provided by the service provider's end, after
the connection is established .Moreover, the providers are
required to individually setup thehardware and services for
providing visual content.
[0013] As discussed above the existing technologies have
various limitations. Hence, techniques are desired for pro
viding enhanced telephony.
means forestablishing a connection with a destination ofthe
dialed number based on the selection of the one or more
options.
[0015] An enhanced telephone system is provided. The
telephone system comprises a database comprising one or
more phonenumbers and oneormoremenus corresponding
to thephonenumbers,wherein themenus comprises one or
more options for selection; means for comparing the a
received number ofa received call to thephone numbers in
thedatabase;means for displaying amenubased on a result
of the comparison; and means for enabling selection of the
one ormore options from the displayed menu.
[0016] Further, a method for providing enhanced tele
phony is provided. The method comprising identifying a
number dialed from a telephone system ; comparing the
dialed number to one or more phone numbers stored in a
database, wherein the database comprises one or more
menus corresponding to thephonenumbers, and wherein the
menus comprises one or more options for selection, and
displaying on the telephone system a menu from the data
base based on a result of the comparison.
10017] A callermay dial or select a phone number from a
device of a destination. The phone number is detected by a
Visuphone implemented on the device to display a visual
IVR menu corresponding to the audible IVR menu of the
destination. Visuphone may be hardware, an application
stored as a software or firmware on the device, or a com
bination thereof. Visuphonemay include a databaseofvisual
IVR menuscorrespondingto audible IVR menus for various
destinations. Thereafter, the caller may interact with the
visual IVR menu displayed on the device to establish a
connection with the destination . Furthermore, Visuphone
may detect and launch a VOIP application for establishing
the connection. Moreover, Visuphone may provide pre
recorded or computer synthesized audio responseson behalf
of the caller to the destination.
[0018] An aspect ofthe invention is to generate a database
ofvisualIVR menus. The database generation could be done
by successive calling the IVR and combined with voice
recognition. Calling the IVR systems can be done manually
by operators thatwill listen to options of the IVR and enter
these options into the database. In this manual mode, the
operator will dial IVR numbers from a list and for each of
them will follow all the options in several levels and in each
level, enter themenu entries into the database. This can be
done to many different IVR phone numbers, by one or
multiple operators. The voice menu can be recorded to for
analyzing in a different process or a different time.
[0019]. Another aspect of the invention is to generate a
database of visual IVR menus by a computer system .
Combination ofhardware and software that is connected to
phone system and automatically dials the IVR phone num
bers, record the differentoptions ofthe voicemenu, analyze
the voice menu and generate and enter the different entries
into the database. The system will generate the voice tone
that simulates the relevant touchtone of a phone number
pressed. This process will be done in several levels until
covering all the entries in all the levels of the specific IVR
system . This process is done for all the IVR phone number
in the list.
[0020] Additionalalternative is to accessthe IVR internal
database and download themenu. This approach requires the
collaboration with the IVR maker and at least permission
from the IVR owner. Having both a system could be build

No. 13/934, 248 which is a Continuation of U .S .Non-Provisional appli cation Ser. No. 13/186,984 entitled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUAL PRESENTATION AND SELECTION OF IVR MENU ' which was filed on Jul. 20 , 2011, and is now a Patenthaving U .S . Pat. No. 8,903,073. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relatesto InteractiveVoiceResponse (IVR) system and more specifically the invention relates to visual selection of IVR option from a caller device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology is generally used to detectvoice and key inputs from a caller. The adventofInteractive Voice Response (IVR)systemshas reduced operating costs for many types of businesses for providing services.Generally, the IVR systemsallow a user to interactwith an audio or visual response system . The IVR systems can provide prompts to a user and receive touch tone and/orspoken responses on theprompts from theuser. Through such IVR dialogue the system collects sufficient information about the user to direct the call to the most appropriate resource, information processing system or the like. [0004] Generally,when the callercalls a destination,such as a bank , an automated audio IVR menu is played. The audio IVR menu can contain instructionsto provide instant services such as accountbalance inquiry when the destina tion is a bank . Further, audio menu can provide options for the caller to connect to a desired end inside the destination. For example, themenu may directthecallerto press various keys on a telephone to connect to a particular department or agent. The audio IVR menu is designed specific to a destination. Therefore, each destination or organization may have different audio IVR menus. Further, the IVR menu in an organization can be based on the type of departments, type of services, customer care executives or agents and so forth . For example, an IVR menu of a bank may include options related to the account details ofthe caller, while an IVR menu of a pizzeria may contain options to order or select a pizza. [0005] Typically, the caller calling the destination may have to listen and follow instructions on themenu to get a desired response or a function performed. Therefore, the process can be timeconsuming.Moreover, in case the caller provides an incorrect input, the complete processmay have to be repeated. Furthermore, the IVR menu for an organi- zation may be updated or changed regularly. For example, extension numbers inside an organization may be changed and correspondingly, the extension numbers associated with the IVR menu may be updated. As a result, a frequent caller may not be able to reach a desired end by remembering a combination of numbers. Furthermore, the dialed destina tion may notinclude the information desired by the user. In such a case, the usermay have to call the destination again for retrieving the desired information. Therefore, the user may become frustrated with the IVR systems. 10006) Usually, the IVR menus are samefor all the users. Therefore, the customerhasto listen them carefully to select the appropriate option. The usermay have to wait for long time for receiving information while interacting with the IVR systems.Moreover, sometimes the requested informa tion mightnotbeavailable atthe timewhen theuser callsthe destination. Therefore, the usermay have to eitherwait for long time or call again later. For example, the user may desire to talk to a customer care executive of thedestination , who is busy at the time ofthe call. Therefore, the call ofthe user may be put on hold or hemay be asked to call later. [0007] Some prior art try to address this problem by providing visual form of IVR. These prior arts display the IVR menu graphically on a caller device. U.S. Pat. No. 7,215,743 assigned to InternationalBusinessMachines Cor poration and a published U .S. patent application with Ser. No. 11/957,605, filed Dec. 17, 2007 and assigned to Motorola Inc.,provides the IVR menu of the destination in a visual form to the caller. The caller can select the options from the IVR menu without listening to the complete audio IVR menu. However, the IVR menu displayed on the caller device is stored on an IVR server at the destination end. As a result, the visual IVR menu is specific to the destination and only the IVR of the destination dialed is displayed. These techniques therefore, require each destination to set up hardware,software and other facilities to be deployed for providing visual IVR servers. 10008] A U .S. Pat. No. 7,460,652, assigned to AT & T Intellectual Property I, L .P., discloses techniques for call routing and communication with a call originator. The call may be received at an automated call handling system . Thereafter, the call is evaluated based on a set ofbusiness rules and routed to an interactive voice response unit based on the evaluation. Further, the interactive voice response unit automatically schedules and sends an email to the originator of the call. However, the scheduling of the email is performed after establishing a communication with the automated callhandling system .Moreover, the scheduling is performed at the automated call handling system . [0009] Another existing technique as disclosed in U .S. Pat. No. 6,560,320 assigned to International Business Machines Corporation enables an operator of the IVR to send customized signals to the caller for generating and displaying graphical elements on the device of the caller. Thereafter, the caller can respond by selecting options through touch -screen interface of the device. Dual Tone Multi frequency (DTMF) signals ofthe IVR .However, this technique requires a specifically configured device to inter pret the codes sent as Dual Tone Multi frequency (DTMF) signals for generating the graphics.Moreover, an operator is required to present the graphics to the caller. Furthermore, specialized software andhardware are required at theopera tor to design and generate DTMF codes. Therefore, the technique faces various practicallimitations.
  • 95. US 2017/0289332 A1 Oct. 5, 2017 [0010] Generally, the IVR menus of the organizationsare in form ofaudiblemenu.Moreover,there are a largenumber oforganizations that use IVR menus. Therefore, converting the audible menus to visual IVR menus can be time con suming. An existing technique, as disclosed in U .S. Pat.No. 6,920,425 assigned to Nortel Networks Limited, discloses an automated scriptto convert the audible menus scripts to visual IVR menu scripts. However, the audible menus scripts must be available in a particular format to enable the conversion. Furthermore, the audio menu scripts must be available or downloadable for the program to function.As a result,only the audio menus scripts that are available can be converted to visual IVR menu scripts. Furthermore, the device of the caller must be designed or programmed to understand the visual IVR menu scripts. [0011] Various organizations encourage the customers to call them for information on their products or services, or for helping existing customers.Generally, a contact number is provided by the organizations on their website as a button . Therefore, when the customer presses the button a form is displayed. The customer then enters his contact number where an executive from the organization may call. How ever, thismay be time consuming for the customer.More over, the customermay be notbeing able to talk to another executiveduring the call in case the on-line executive is not able to satisfy the customer.U .S.patent application with Ser. No. 12/049,021, filedMar. 14,2008 and assigned to Harprit Singh,providesmethods and systemsfor displaying an IVR menu,when the caller clicks a link on a webpage provided by the organization. However, the customer is still required to request the webpage with embedded information from a server of the organization. Moreover, the methods and systems are limited to the organizations that provide the required webpage to the customers. Other technologies include U .S . patent application with Ser. No. 11/877,952 filed Oct. 24, 2007 and assigned to International Business Machine Corporation. [0012] The effectiveness of providing the IVR in visual form is discussed in a technicalpapertitled,“The Benefits of Augmenting Telephone Voice Menu Navigation with Visual Browsing and Search 'by Min Yin et al. The paper discusses a setup where visualcontentofthe IVR is sentfrom a service provider to a computer connected to a mobile phone. How ever, the technique discussed in the paper is limited to the visual content provided by the service provider's end, after the connection is established .Moreover, the providers are required to individually setup thehardware and services for providing visual content. [0013] As discussed above the existing technologies have various limitations. Hence, techniques are desired for pro viding enhanced telephony. means forestablishing a connection with a destination ofthe dialed number based on the selection of the one or more options. [0015] An enhanced telephone system is provided. The telephone system comprises a database comprising one or more phonenumbers and oneormoremenus corresponding to thephonenumbers,wherein themenus comprises one or more options for selection; means for comparing the a received number ofa received call to thephone numbers in thedatabase;means for displaying amenubased on a result of the comparison; and means for enabling selection of the one ormore options from the displayed menu. [0016] Further, a method for providing enhanced tele phony is provided. The method comprising identifying a number dialed from a telephone system ; comparing the dialed number to one or more phone numbers stored in a database, wherein the database comprises one or more menus corresponding to thephonenumbers, and wherein the menus comprises one or more options for selection, and displaying on the telephone system a menu from the data base based on a result of the comparison. 10017] A callermay dial or select a phone number from a device of a destination. The phone number is detected by a Visuphone implemented on the device to display a visual IVR menu corresponding to the audible IVR menu of the destination. Visuphone may be hardware, an application stored as a software or firmware on the device, or a com bination thereof. Visuphonemay include a databaseofvisual IVR menuscorrespondingto audible IVR menus for various destinations. Thereafter, the caller may interact with the visual IVR menu displayed on the device to establish a connection with the destination . Furthermore, Visuphone may detect and launch a VOIP application for establishing the connection. Moreover, Visuphone may provide pre recorded or computer synthesized audio responseson behalf of the caller to the destination. [0018] An aspect ofthe invention is to generate a database ofvisualIVR menus. The database generation could be done by successive calling the IVR and combined with voice recognition. Calling the IVR systems can be done manually by operators thatwill listen to options of the IVR and enter these options into the database. In this manual mode, the operator will dial IVR numbers from a list and for each of them will follow all the options in several levels and in each level, enter themenu entries into the database. This can be done to many different IVR phone numbers, by one or multiple operators. The voice menu can be recorded to for analyzing in a different process or a different time. [0019]. Another aspect of the invention is to generate a database of visual IVR menus by a computer system . Combination ofhardware and software that is connected to phone system and automatically dials the IVR phone num bers, record the differentoptions ofthe voicemenu, analyze the voice menu and generate and enter the different entries into the database. The system will generate the voice tone that simulates the relevant touchtone of a phone number pressed. This process will be done in several levels until covering all the entries in all the levels of the specific IVR system . This process is done for all the IVR phone number in the list. [0020] Additionalalternative is to accessthe IVR internal database and download themenu. This approach requires the collaboration with the IVR maker and at least permission from the IVR owner. Having both a system could be build SUMMARY [0014] An enhanced telephone system is provided. The telephone system comprises a database that comprises one ormore phone numbersand one ormoremenuscorrespond ing to the phone numbers, wherein themenus comprise one or more options for selection. The telephone system com prises means for comparing a dialed number to the phone numbers in the database ;means for displaying a menu based on a result of the comparison ;means for enabling selection ofthe one ormore options from the displayed menu; and
  • 96. US 2017/0289332 A1 Oct. 5, 2017 to access IVR using their maintenance port,which is often connected to the Internet. Accordingly, the system would access the IVR and once authorized by the IVR owner itwill download the internal file representing the IVR menu,which could be called the IVR customization record . The down loaded file would then be converted to visualIVR menu by utility that could be design according to the format,which could be provided by the IVR maker. [0021] Another aspect of the invention is to provide to a caller using a device a visual IVR menu corresponding to an audible IVR menu of a destination. [0022] Another aspect of the invention is to enable the caller to directly interact with the visual IVR menu without listening to the audible IVR menu ofthe destination. [0023] Another aspect of the invention is to provide the visual IVR menu to the caller before establishing a connec tion of the device with the destination . [0024] Another aspect ofthe invention is to provide adver tisements related to the destination or function of the des tination dialed by the caller. 10025].
