  • Patent number: 11948175
    Abstract: A system for determining a likelihood that a pre-determined customer will enter a selected customer support center (CSC) is provided. The system includes a customer-tracking system for determining whether the customer is within a predetermined distance of the CSC. The tracking system is set to a tracking state in response to receiving a customer tracking opt-in selection. The system also includes a biometric monitoring system that monitors, using an electronic device in close proximity to the customer, when the customer is determined to be within the pre-determined distance of the CSC. The biometric monitoring system monitors the customer's biometric functions to determine the likelihood of the customer entering the CSC. When a determination of the likelihood of the customer physically entering the CSC is higher than a threshold level, the system may provide the likelihood, as further influenced by the customer sentiment condition, of the customer entering the CSC.

  • Patent number: 11922432
    Abstract: An information collection server obtains relevant information relating to legislation, regulations, or standards (vehicle emissions control) from an external server group and a local server and provides the obtained relevant information to an information processing server. When the information processing server receives the relevant information from the information collection server, it performs conversion processing on each piece of information included in the relevant information in accordance with each piece of information to convert each piece of information into an index relating to a degree of influence on revision of the emissions control. The information processing server provides each resultant index to a prediction creation server. When the prediction creation server receives each resultant index from the information processing server, it predicts a stage of revision of the emissions control based on each index.
