  • Patent number: 11063943
    Abstract: A system and method are presented for the re-authentication of asynchronous messaging, specifically within enterprise to consumer communications. A third-party enterprise messaging server may be used as a conduit for a messaging service allowing for customer interaction with a business. The messaging server can append a re-authentication process for customers once a customer has been authenticated by the enterprise. Each time a customer resumes an interaction exceeding a timeout threshold, the messaging server invokes its re-authentication process. Lapsed interactions may be treated as continuous without having the customer re-authenticate through the enterprise specific authentication.

  • Patent number: 9723145
    Abstract: A system and method include a contact center to provide an interaction between a customer and agent. An analytics server connects with the contact center to parse a text of the interaction and determine an intent and a topic of the interaction based on the parsed text. The analytics server determines an implicit survey score for the interaction based on comparing the intent and the topic of the interaction with an intent and a topic of an interaction that was correlated with an explicit survey score.

  • Publication number: 20070264978
    Abstract: A Ring Tone is downloaded to a mobile terminal that combines both a musical portion selected by a subscriber/purchaser as well as an audio identification portion that is associated with the identity of a caller and is customized by the subscriber/purchaser. For example, the audio identification portion can be a recording of the caller's name or a “pet” name or nickname associated with that caller, or any sound that the subscriber/purchaser chooses to identify the caller. Thus, when an incoming call from that caller is received by the subscriber's/purchaser's mobile terminal and is recognized from its caller ID as being one that is stored in the mobile terminal's address book with an associated Ring Tone, the Ring Tone that is played includes both a musical portion and an audio portion that audibly identifies the caller. The subscriber/purchaser can thus immediately and unambiguously identify the caller.
