Abstract:
A computing system for managing one or more communication interrupts during a communication session associated with a resource in an enterprise is disclosed. The computing system includes a monitoring module for monitoring one or more parameters of the communication session. The system further includes a database for storing the one or more monitored parameters. The system further includes a determination module for determining at least one participation score for the resource based on the one or more stored parameters. The system further includes a control module for controlling the one or more communication interrupts based on the at least one determined participation score.
Abstract:
An analysis subject determination device includes: a demand period detection unit which detects, from data corresponding to audio of a dissatisfaction conversation, a demand utterance period which represents a demand utterance of a first conversation party among a plurality of conversation parties which are carrying out the dissatisfaction conversation; a negation period detection unit which detects, from the data, a negation utterance period which represents a negation utterance of a second conversation party which differs from the first conversation party; and a subject determination unit which, from the data, determines a period with a time obtained from the demand period utterance period as a start point and a time obtained from the negation utterance period after the demand utterance period as an end point to be an analysis subject period of a cause of dissatisfaction of the first conversation party in the dissatisfaction conversation.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented call center architecture and method for optimizing customer experience through in-band expert intervention is provided. Calls conducted between an agent and a caller are monitored. A need for assistance by an expert agent in one such call based on an inquiry by the caller is identified. Expert selection criteria to a predetermined group of expert agents with expertise in subject matter relating to the caller's inquiry is applied. One of the expert agents that matches with the expert selection criteria is selected and a notification to the agent that the selected expert agent will assist with the call is transmitted. The expert agent is then patched into the call.
Abstract:
In one aspect, the present invention facilitates the investigation of networks of criminals, by gathering associations between phone numbers, the names of persons reached at those phone numbers, and voice print data. In another aspect the invention automatically detects phone calls from a prison where the voiceprint of the person called matches the voiceprint of a past inmate. In another aspect the invention detects identity scams in prisons, by monitoring for known voice characteristics of likely imposters on phone calls made by prisoners. In another aspect, the invention automatically does speech-to-text conversion of phone numbers spoken within a predetermined time of detecting data indicative of a three-way call event while monitoring a phone call from a prison inmate. In another aspect, the invention automatically thwarts attempts of prison inmates to use re-dialing services. In another aspect, the invention automatically tags audio data retrieved from a database, by steganographically encoding into the audio data the identity of the official retrieving the audio data.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for user-controlled processing of audio signals is provided. An audio signal including a reference segment and a segment preceding the reference segment is obtained. A value q is received from a user. Audio buffers in the preceding segment are defined, each having a width of N samples and a starting point a unique number of samples away from the preceding segment's start, based on a division of N by q. One or more of the buffers are transformed into discrete Fourier transform (DFT) buffers. A signature of the signal is generated using at least a portion of the reference segment and at least one of the DFT buffers. A new audio signal is received and a DFT for the audio signal is generated. The new audio signal is determined to match the audio signal based on a comparison of the DFT to the signature.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for processing audio are provided. The system may include a processor to convert an audio input received via a call to text. The processor may perform a comparison between a portion of the text to one or more phrases included in a table. The processor may also make a selection of at least one of a first object or a first action based on the comparison. The processor may further route the call based on the at least one of the first object or the first action.
Abstract:
Providing keyword-based notification and content includes monitoring, a communication interface, the communication interface configured to transport a communication between an agent communication device and a user communication device; recognizing an occurrence of a keyword in the communication; wherein the keyword is stored in a database; and retrieving from the database, an information related to the keyword, wherein the database comprises: a first memory area configured to store a mapping of keywords to keyword information; and a second memory area configured to store a mapping of a user identifier associated with a user to information related to how keyword information should be delivered to the user associated with the user identifier. Ultimately the information related to the keyword is transmitted to one of the agent communication device or the user communication device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for intelligently routing a member of an organization to a single point-of-contact within an optimized, secure network to address all the member's healthcare needs are described. The disclosed intelligent routing configurations transform and process, in real-time, vast amounts of member data to generate specialized effort scores specific to each member's household. The effort scores, among other things, are used to determine an appropriate tier within the organization to route the member, and its account file containing real-time member and household level data.
Abstract:
A facility and method for analyzing and classifying calls without transcription via keyword spotting is disclosed. The facility uses a group of calls having known outcomes to generate one or more domain- or entity-specific grammars containing keywords and related information that are indicative of particular outcome. The facility monitors telephone calls by determining the domain or entity associated with the call, loading the appropriate grammar or grammars associated with the determined domain or entity, and tracking keywords contained in the loaded grammar or grammars that are spoken during the monitored call, along with additional information. The facility performs a statistical analysis on the tracked keywords and additional information to determine a classification for the monitored telephone call.
Abstract:
In a crowd sourcing approach, responses to customer service inquiries are provided by providing the inquiries to an independent group of experts. These experts are typically able to resolve the inquiry before the inquiries are routed to a traditional contact center. The customer service inquiries are routed to specific experts based on matches between identified subject matter of the inquiries and expertise of the experts. In some embodiments, more than one expert can contribute to the resolution of an inquiry.
