  • Publication number: 20240135011
    Abstract: Methods comprising steps for processing data for a customer-agent interaction are disclosed, as well as systems configured to perform such steps. These steps may comprise retrieving a web form comprising one or more elements, from a web server, using a first device; displaying the web form to the agent via a browser running on the first device; detecting, by the first device, an interaction of the agent with a first element in the web form; modifying the web form using a program running in the browser; generating a submission from the web form; and transmitting the submission to a service provider.

  • Publication number: 20230067705
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for correlating payment service submissions and data captured from a call stream is described herein. The method comprises receiving data captured from a call stream by a data capture device; receiving a payment service submission comprising an identifier; determining an association between the identifier and the call stream; and replacing the identifier in the payment service submission with the data captured from the call stream associated with the identifier.

  • Patent number: 10666801
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a telephone call processing system and a method of processing telephone calls, and in particular to systems and methods that facilitate secure transmission and accurate identification of sensitive information spoken during a call between a caller and an agent such that the agent does not have access to the sensitive information. The methods of the present invention involve outputting scrambled, out-of-sequence and/or partitioned sub-sets of a spoken voice stream to one or more recognition agents, which identify elements of the sensitive information and return the identified elements to a call processor for un-scrambling, re-ordering and/or re-assembly by the call processor to produce the identified sensitive information.

  • Patent number: 9742923
    Abstract: A call processing system comprises first and second interfaces configured to selectively pass voice signals and data signals between caller and agent to enable communication. An attenuation means is configured to selectively attenuate voice and data signals passing from the first interface to the second interface to impede the agent from receiving voice and data signals from the caller. While a string of discrete data signals is received at the first interface, the system is configured to operate exclusively in each of: a first mode in which voice and data signals are permitted to pass from the first interface to the second interface to enable the agent to receive them from the caller; and a second mode in which the attenuation means attenuates voice and data signals passing from the first interface to the second interface to impede the agent from receiving them from the caller.

  • Patent number: 9609129
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for controlling signaling data transmitted over a communication system between a first party and a second party. The system comprises a first communication channel configured to carry communication data, wherein the communication data comprises the content of the communication between the first party and the second party; a second communication channel configured to carry signaling data, wherein the signaling data comprises data relating to the first communication channel and sensitive data transmitted by the first party; a signaling processor configured to receive the signaling data from the first party via the second communication channel, modify the signaling data to remove or replace at least some of the sensitive data in the signaling data, and transmit the modified signaling data via the second communication channel to the second party.
