Patent number: 11637929Abstract: Connecting agent to customers is the cornerstone of contact center operations. When a customer is connected to an agent for real-time communications (e.g., voice), they can be particular sensitive to any delay, such as the delay to establish a media channel between the agent's endpoint and the customer's device. By establishing a media channel between the agent's device and a server having initially received the communication, the communication may be attached to the existing media channel without requiring the time and resources otherwise necessary to establish the media channel. Additionally, if a problem or failure occurs, a server utilized for the connection may seek to establish the media channel with a second network, such as a telephone network, or a second agent endpoint or endpoint component.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Avaya Management L.P.Inventors: Mehmet Balasaygun, Manish Chatterjee, Stephen Whynot

Patent number: 11575788Abstract: Disclosed here is a method to determine a user intent when a user device initiates an interactive voice response (IVR) call with a wireless telecommunication network. A processor can detect the IVR call initiated with the network and determine whether the user device is a member of the network. Upon determining that the user device is a member of the network, the processor can obtain user history including interaction history between the user and the network. Based on the user history, the processor can predict the user intent when the user initiates the IVR call. The processor can detect whether user device is a 5G capable device. Upon the determining that the device is 5G capable and based on the predicted user intent, the processor can suggest to the user an application configured to execute on the user device and configured to address the predicted user intent.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Phi Nguyen, Nathaniel Blodgett
