Abstract:
A method and system automatically optimizes agent time. The method performed by a transferring device includes monitoring a communication session between an agent device used by an agent of the contact center and a user device used by a user. The communication session including first communications generated by the agent and second communications generated by the user. The method includes determining when the communication session is to be transferred from the agent device to an automated system of the contact center. The automated system is configured to perform the communication session by generating third communications for the second communications. The method includes generating a control signal upon determining the communication session is to be transferred that is configured to automatically transfer the communications session from the agent device to the automated system.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for automatically generating expanded and derivative tags associated with digital content. The methods and systems provide multi-dimensional, layered tagging with stored audio/video conference contents, creating relationships and a tag network between links and nodes in a communication system.
Abstract:
Media files are often tagged, such as by XML or other tagging paradigms, in order to indicate aspects of certain portions of the media file. Disclosed herein, security policy tagging is provided that supports a logically nested or hierarchical structure. Tags may be time- and/or event-altered, such as when a user who is denied access at one point in time may be granted access at a later point in time. The need to amend the security policy based upon the passage of time is reduced or eliminated as portions, or sub-portions, of a media file that may be selectively tagged with security tags may be presented or downloaded based upon the security policy. The a security policy may incorporate rules that change permissions upon the passage of time or the occurrence of an event, without requiring the modification of the presentation, the security tags of the presentation portion, or the security tag associated with a parent portion of the presentation or the presentation itself.
Abstract:
A method and system automatically determines when to review an agent response. The method performed by an oversight device includes receiving first data including a request type of a request received by a contact center. In response to the first data, the method includes automatically determining rules corresponding to the request type, the rules indicating required steps performed by an agent for the request type. The method includes receiving second data corresponding to a response process used by the agent in generating a response to the request, the response process including performed steps performed by the agent for the request. In response to the second data, the method includes automatically determining whether the required steps are included in the performed steps of the response process. The method includes forwarding the response to a supervisor device when the required steps are absent from the performed steps of the response process.
Abstract:
System and method to calculate expected waiting time of a caller to a calling center, the method including: monitoring, by a monitor circuit, a content of a present communication session; estimating a point of progress of the monitored communication session; comparing the point of progress to a historical statistic; calculating, by a processor, a projection of a duration of a remainder of the present communication session; and providing, by a communication circuit, an expected waiting time (EWT) based upon the projection of the duration of the remainder of the present communication session. Embodiments may include a speech search process to record call progress. The speech search process may inform, diagnose or monitor a call. The speech search process may inform a supervisor of progress, to take action if necessary. The speech search process may dynamically trigger other processes and construct profiles based upon historical data.
Abstract:
A device, system, and method optimizes active transactions of an agent. The method performed using a prioritizing device of a contact center includes determining a first priority value of an incoming transaction, the incoming transaction included in a user request received by the contact center, the incoming transaction requiring utilization of a real-time communication channel. When the first priority value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, the method includes identifying an agent device associated with the contact center to process the incoming transaction, said agent device currently processing an ongoing transaction. The method includes transferring the ongoing transaction from the agent device. The method includes transferring the incoming transaction to the agent device.
Abstract:
System and method to respond to a streaming media link quality problem in a communication session, the method including: monitoring textual messages in the communication session for an indication of a quality of service (QoS) problem; forming a hypothesized cause of the QoS problem; retrieving evidence relevant to the hypothesized cause, the relevant evidence comprising system logs; and determining whether the retrieved evidence supports the hypothesized cause. The system includes: a processor coupled to a memory; a monitoring module configured to monitor textual messages in the communication session for an indication of a quality of service (QoS) problem; an inference module configured to form a hypothesized cause of the QoS problem; a retrieval module configured to retrieve evidence relevant to the hypothesized cause, the relevant evidence comprising system logs stored in the memory; and a calculation module configured to determine whether the retrieved evidence supports the hypothesized cause.

Abstract:
Tagging media streams allows topics and other items of interest to be readily identified. As provided herein, stateful tags are provided, which comprise a value determined from a link to another data source, such as a calendar, inventory, accounting, project management, or other application. Media streams, such as audio/video confines, may be tagged with stateful tags to identify items of interest and comprise a value that is dynamically determined. Subsequent playback of the media streams allows the stateful tags to be presented as comprising a then-current or other value, which may have changed since the time of the media stream's creation.
