Patent ID: 8175897

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for processing a request for an interaction over a computer network, the method being implemented by one or more data processors and comprising: receiving, by at least one data processor, a request for an interaction from a user, the request including a first set of interaction data for variables descriptive of the interaction; determining, by at least one data processor, a value of the interaction based on the first set of interaction data; and responsive to the value of the interaction, performing, by at least one processor: terminating the interaction if the value is at or above a first threshold; proceeding with the request for an interaction if the value is at or below a second threshold; and obtaining additional data from the user in order to facilitate the determination of whether to proceed with the interaction if the value is between the first threshold and the second threshold by: determining, by at least one data processor for each of a plurality of follow-up question sets, a probability of non-attrited fulfillment after use of the follow-up question set based on a metric of the value of additional data and on a likelihood that the user will terminate the interaction if the user is presented the follow-up question set, and presenting, by at least one data processor to the user, the follow-up question set with the greatest probability of non-attrited fulfillment.
