  • Patent number: 11811968
    Abstract: A computing device is described that accepts, a telephone call, from another device, initiated by a caller. Prior to establishing a telephone user interface that receives spoken input from the user and outputs spoken audio from the caller, the computing device executes a call screening service that outputs an audio user interface, to the other device and as part of the telephone call. The audio user interface interrogates the caller for additional information including a purpose of the telephone call, which allows the user to have more context of the telephone call before deciding whether to accept the call or hang up. The computing device outputs a graphical user interface associated with telephone call. The graphical user interface includes an indication of the additional information obtained via the audio user interface that interrogates the caller.

  • Patent number: 11785144
    Abstract: A method for handling contact center teleservices in voice and/or data through a plurality of mobile devices, such as smartphones, is disclosed. The invention is directed to a novel concept named “Event” in which any interaction between a customer and a call center platform via voice or data is uniquely identified. This concept introduces a functionality into the Cloud-Implemented Intelligent ACD making it able to identify each call or contact with a “tag” that is later used to manage all possible future interactions between the customers and the agents by linking them under the Agent Mobile Platform, while adding the capability to maintain open the communication originally established between a customer and an agent in the case of any communication interruption, either involuntary or voluntary, thus making the C-I IACD able to route the contact once the communication is reestablished or when the customer calls the contact center platform back again.

  • Patent number: 11689587
    Abstract: A first SBC establishes a first media session between a transferor and a transferee. A second SBC establishes a second media session between the transferor and a transfer target. The first SBC receives a REFER message initiated by the transferor and determines that a dialog ID in the REFER message does not correspond to a media session currently being handled by the first SBC. The first SBC sends a SIP INVITE message to a plurality of SBCs, including the second SBC, that are in a load sharing group with the first SBC. The SIP INVITE message includes the dialog ID associated with the second media session, which triggers the second SBC to re-use the second media session to establish a media session between the transferee and the transfer target.
