  • Patent number: 11750743
    Abstract: A method for routing customer service requests to call centers includes collecting data associated with customer service experience between a customer and a call center regarding a completed customer call. The collected data is analyzed to determine a quality of customer service for one or more completed calls between the customer and the call center. A nature of an incoming customer call is determined. The incoming customer call is routed to a call center based upon making reference to the analyzed collected data such that the nature of the customer call matches with corresponding one or more favorable attributes of the call center.

  • Patent number: 11533614
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe vehicle-based authentication protocols. An illustrative authentication server may receive a request to authenticate a user connected from a mobile device. The authentication server may transmit a request to the mobile device to transmit geolocation data of the mobile device. In response, the mobile device may transmit a stream of its geolocation data. Based upon the received geolocation data stream, the authentication server may determine that the mobile device in a motion and select a vehicle-based authentication protocol to request geolocation data of a trusted vehicle. The authentication server may compare the mobile device geolocation data stream and the vehicle geolocation data stream to determine a similarity score. If the similarity score is above a threshold, the authentications server may authenticate the user. In some cases, the authentication server may authenticate the user if the mobile device is connected to the trusted vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11272057
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating metrics about an individual's experience. One of the method describes providing, by at least one processor, the session record as input to at least one computer-processable model that determines, based on the session record, at least one metric for the service session, the at least one model having been trained, using machine learning and based at least partly on survey data for previous service sessions, to provide the at least one metric associated with the individual's experience. The method includes associating, by at least one processor, the metric of the individual's experience with the individual. The method also includes communicating, by at least one processor, the at least one metric for presentation through a user interface of a computing device.

  • Patent number: 11146682
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating metric(s) that predict survey score(s) for a service session. Model(s) may be trained, through supervised or unsupervised machine learning, using training data from previous service sessions between service representative(s) and individual(s). Training data may include, for previous service session(s), a session record (e.g., audio record) of the session and a set of survey scores provided by the serviced individual to rate the session on one or more criteria (e.g., survey questions). The model(s) may be trained to output, based on an input session record, metric(s) that each correspond to a survey score that would have been provided by the individual had they completed the survey. The model may be a concatenated model that is a combination of a language model output from a language classifier recurrent neural network, and an acoustic model output from an acoustic feature layer convolutional neural network.

  • Patent number: 11140268
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating metric(s) that predict survey score(s) for a service session. Model(s) may be trained, through supervised or unsupervised machine learning, using training data such as communications from previous service sessions between service representative(s) and individual(s), and survey scores provided by the serviced individual to rate the session on one or more criteria (e.g., survey questions). The model(s) may be trained to output, based on an input session record, metric(s) that each correspond to a survey score that would have been provided by the individual had they completed the survey. The model may be a concatenated model that combines a language model output from a language classifier recurrent neural network, and an acoustic model output from an acoustic feature layer convolutional neural network. Individuals can be clustered according to the metric(s) and/or other factors, and the cluster(s) can be employed for routing incoming service requests.

  • Patent number: 10789385
    Abstract: Techniques are described for real time monitoring and tagging of media content generated during a service session between an individual and a service representative (SR). Media content received during a service session may be dynamically tagged with one or more metadata tags during the service session, the tag(s) indicating portion(s) of the media content that potentially include sensitive information. Tagging may be based on a SR's gestures, clicks, keystrokes, mouse-overs, and/or other actions performed in a SR user interface (UI) during the service session. The media content may be redacted based on the tags to remove and/or obfuscate potentially sensitive information.

  • Patent number: 10610350
    Abstract: An intraocular lens inserter for use during cataract surgery for delivering an intraocular lens (IOL) loaded into an IOL cartridge into a patient's eye. The inserter comprises an outer shell housing containing a hydraulic housing. A hydraulic piston positioned within the hydraulic housing defines an annular hydraulic chamber. The hydraulic chamber is filled with a fluid via a fill port. A high pressure compression spring constantly urges the piston forwardly to pressurize the fluid in the hydraulic chamber. During use, a valve element operatively connected to a depressible operation button, controls bleeding of fluid from the hydraulic chamber, whereupon the forward tip of the piston is moved forwardly to mechanically deliver the intraocular lens from the IOL cartridge into the patient's eye.
