摘要:
The present invention discloses a contact center with speaker identification and verification (SIV) capabilities. In the invention, a set of contact center components can provide automated interactive communications with callers, can provide queue management for callers waiting to communicate with live agents, and can provide skills based routing for assigning live agents to callers. The SIV component can analyze speech utterances to determine a speaker identify based upon biometric characteristics of the analyzed speech utterances. Additionally, the SIV component can process speech from contact center sessions. In one embodiment, the SIV component can prevent agent substitutions from occurring of which the call center is unaware. The SIV component can also be used to distinguish whether communication session content was spoken by a contact center agent or a caller.

A telephone system provides subscribers with access to a service provider's platform logic and data implemented in any runtime environment. In one embodiment, the service logic is embodied in Java applets and Java beans in a JAVA virtual machine for subscriber personalizing and modifying the service logic. The provider provides the subscriber a tool kit or access to a support server for writing service logic modifications as JAVA beans. The service logic modification is achieved in a process in which the service requirements and objectives are set. The service specifications are designed, implemented, tested, and rolled out. Initial service provisioning and support is provided a subscriber, service modification by the subscriber is made to subscriber data provisioning and subscriber service logic provisions. A modified service logic is locally tested by the subscriber, followed by remote testing of the modification on the service provider's premises. The service provider provisions and then supports the modified service logic.

There is provided a Direct Access Memory Unit (DAu) that is associated with a remote processor module in a multi-processing system. The DAU performs Direct Memory Access (DMA) operations independently of a Central Processing Unit (CPU) in the remote processor module. The CPU requests a DMA by writing information relevant to the DMA to the remote processor's memory. The address of each control block is written to a circular queue, also in the remote processor's memory. The DAU determines if there are any control blocks to process and if so, the DAU will perform the DMA operation (reading data from or writing data to the memory of the host processor), all without the intervention of the CPU of the remote processor module. The CPU adds a new control block by loading its address in a location in the circular queue that is ahead of the circular queue location that the DAU is processing. The CPU can abort a pending DMA request during DAU operations by setting a skip bit in the control block. Upon the completion of performing a DMA request, the DAU will set a complete bit in the control block in the remote processor's memory. An interrupt can also be sent to the CPU, wherein the CPU is advised that a DMA request has been completed. The data in a DMA operation is sent in bursts to a buffer located between two busses having different data transmission rates.
摘要:
A method and system in a data communications system for automatically determining a data communication device type and a transmission speed associated with the data communication device type. An incoming communication is detected on a transmission line, and transmit and receive hardware are connected to the transmission line. Next, a sequence of different signals in either a first communication protocol or a second communication protocol are transmitted from a first data communication device via a transmission line. The transmission line is then monitored for a response signal from a second data communication device. The response signal is initiated from the second data communication device in response to receipt of a particular signal within the transmitted sequence of different signals. Utilizing the relationship between the response signal and the transmitted sequence of different signals, a data communication device type and transmission speed are determined, and data communications may then be established between the first data communication device and the second data communication device at an optimal transmission speed.
摘要:
A system and method for efficient operation of a digital signal processor allows execution of a noncoherent FSK demodulation process at the baud rate of the incoming signal. First and second signal detecting channels terminate at a summing junction. A signal sampler for applying a sampled signal to the first and second signal detecting channels. The first and second signal detecting channels each include, in series, a finite impulse response filter for filtering out energy outside a selected bandwidth, automatic gain control and a demodulator. The finite impulse response filter means for the second signal detecting channel further shifts the phase of the sampled signal in the second signal detecting channel approximately 90 degrees relative to the sampled signal in the first signal detecting channel. The demodulator in each signal detecting channel further includes first and second sampled signal transmission paths terminating in a multiplying junction. The first signal transmission path in each demodulator includes a tunable delay line. The decoder takes its input from the summing junction for reproducing a signal indicating presence of a particular frequency or reproduction of the baseband signal.

摘要:
In a modem receiver having a fixed sample rate relative to incoming symbols and a tapped delay adaptive equalizer with fractional tap spacing, coefficients used in the equalization computations are rotated relative to a reference tap in order to compensate for relative drift between incoming signals, representing real (i.e. non-training) data, and the clock controlling sampling. By itself, such rotation would tend to distort received data by shifting the sampling phase away from the center of the received symbols. Logic means included herewith operates to prevent such distortion, so that the integrity of the data output of the receiver is unaffected by the rotation. In the disclosed embodiment, such logic means operates to shift the phase of the "sum of products" computation (product of data and tap coefficients) relative to the flow of data into the fractionally spaced delay network. Since the present receiver does not require synchronization with incoming symbols it is well adapted to function in environments where such synchronization would be difficult to provide; for example, in situations where data transmitted at various baud rates is received via a digital carrier trunk and requires equalization or comparable filter processing.

A demodulator mechanism is described for demodulating differential phase modulated carrier signals. This demodulator mechanism solves the following two equations:U=K[R2(R1-S1)+S2(R1+S1)]V=K[R2(R1+S1)-S2(R1-S1)]where U denotes a first baseband modulation component of the received carrier signal, V denotes a second baseband modulation component of the received carrier signal, K denotes a proportionality constant, R2 denotes the received carrier signal, R1 denotes a delayed version of the received carrier signal which has been delayed by one baud period relative to the received carrier signal, S2 denotes a 90.degree. phase shifted version of the received carrier signal and S1 denotes a delayed version of the phase shifted carrier signal which has been delayed by one baud period relative to the phase shifted carrier signal. Both analog and digital implementations of the demodulator mechanism are described. Double frequency terms are automatically cancelled and no post detection filtering is required for this purpose.
