Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium adapted to control a computer and comprising a plurality of code segments for automatically routing a telephonic communication to at least one of a plurality of communication destination addresses, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising the code segments that, when executed by a processor: receive a customer identifier, wherein the customer identifier is generated from at least one of: automatic number identification (ANI), a customer voice portal prompted variable, or an IP address; determine whether the received customer identifier corresponds to a stored customer identifier in a customer history database, the customer history database being configured to store historic data associated with at least one recorded telephonic communication having a corresponding stored customer identifier, the stored historic data comprising call type data, distress assessment data, stored behavioral assessment data, call preference data and customer profile; record a telephonic communication from a caller to obtain caller voice data; mine the historic data associated with the customer identifier in the caller voice data and apply a linguistic-based psychological behavioral model to the caller assessment voice data to generate the stored behavioral assessment data; analyze the historic data corresponding to the received customer identifier and the stored customer identifier, wherein the customer profile included in the historic data is based on one or more components of a customer's demographic identity; associate the telephonic communication with one of a plurality of communication destination addresses, the association of the telephonic communication data with one of the plurality of communication destination addresses being based on the analyzing of the historic data; compare a stored customer profile with a customer service representative profile, wherein the stored customer profile includes the customer's demographic identity consisting of gender, race, age, income, and education; and provide routing instructions which comprise identifying the associated communication destination address.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising a code segment that, when executed by a processor, generates a score based upon the comparison of the stored customer profile with the customer service representative profile.

3

3. The computer readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising a code segment that, when executed by a processor, transmits an audible message based on the association of the telephonic communication with one of the plurality of communication destination addresses.

4

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising a code segment that, when executed by a processor, generates a customer route record.

5

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising a code segment that, when executed by a processor, determines the number of previously completed transactions in IVR corresponding to the received customer identifier.

6

6. A system for automatically routing a telephonic communication to one of a plurality of communication destination addresses, the system comprising: a customer history database storing historic data associated with at least one recorded telephonic communication having a corresponding stored customer identifier, the historic data comprising call type data, distress assessment data, stored behavioral assessment data, call preference data, and customer profile; and, a first server configured to receive a customer identifier input signal from a communication system, wherein the customer identifier input signal is generated from at least one of: automatic number identification (ANI), a customer voice portal prompted variable, or an IP address; the server comprising logic that, when executed by a processor: communicates with the customer history database; determines whether the received customer identifier input signal corresponds to the stored customer identifier in the customer history database; records a telephonic communication from a caller to obtain caller voice data; mines the historic data associated with the customer identifier in the caller voice data and applies a linguistic-based psychological behavioral model to the caller assessment voice data to generate the stored behavioral assessment data; analyzes historic data corresponding to the received customer identifier and the mined historic data when the received customer identifier input signal corresponds to the stored customer identifier in the customer history database, wherein the customer profile included in the historic data is based on one or more components of a customer's demographic identity; associates the telephonic communication with one of a plurality of communication destination addresses, the association being based on the analysis of the historic data corresponding to the received customer identifier and the customer's demographic identity; compares the stored customer profile with a customer service representative profile, wherein the stored customer profile includes the customer's demographic identity consisting of gender, race, age, income, and education; and, communicates the associated communication destination to a switch, wherein the switch is configured to route the telephonic communication to the associated communication destination address.

7

7. The system of claim 6 , the server further comprising logic that, when executed by a processor, generates a score based upon the comparison of the stored customer profile with the customer service representative profile.

8

8. The system of claim 6 , further comprising a second server in operable communication with the first server and the customer history database, the second server configured to record the telephonic communication between a caller and a customer service representative and comprising logic that, when executed, is adapted to: separate the telephonic communication into at least caller voice data and customer service representative voice data; and analyze at least the separated caller voice data by mining the separated caller voice data for the customer identifier.

9

9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising logic that, when executed by a processor, transmits the separated caller voice data to the customer history database.

10

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the logic for separating the telephonic communication into the caller voice data and the customer service representative voice data comprises logic adapted to identify a communication protocol associated with the telephonic communication and to record the telephonic communication to a first electronic data file comprising a first and second audio track, the caller voice data being automatically recorded on the first audio track based on the identified communication protocol, and the customer service representative voice data being automatically recorded on the second audio track based on the identified communication protocol.
