  • Patent number: 11553028
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe proactive detection and notification of a potential loss of connectivity during an electronic collaborative communication. Subsequently, a state of the electronic collaborative communication is managed to improve, among other technical advantages, processing efficiency of associated computing devices and users involved in the electronic collaborative communication. A quality of a network feed for a participant in an electronic collaborative communication is identified and analyzed to generate a warning of potential loss of connectivity. A state of an electronic collaborative communication is managed relative to a continued quality evaluation of said network feed. For example, a network feed may be placed on hold and/or a communication suspended due to potential connectivity issues. A representation of a video feed may be updated and/or a communication resumed when a quality of that video feed is determined to satisfy a pre-selected quality threshold.

  • Patent number: 11190642
    Abstract: Methods and systems for intelligently routing an incoming call are provided. An automatic call distribution system may include a call flow service that receives incoming calls, and a separate weighted-bid call distribution service. The call flow service can request a recommended recipient for each incoming call from the weighted-bid call distribution service. The weighted-bid call distribution service identifies a recommended recipient for each incoming call by generating a priority weight for that call, one or more relevance weights that indicate the relevance of one or more potential recipients to that call, and an availability weight for one or more potential recipients with high relevancy weights. The weighted-bid call distribution service identifies a recommended recipient by comparing a combination of the priority weight for the call and the relevancy weights for the high relevancy recipients to the availability weight for those recipients.
