  • Patent number: 11671268
    Abstract: This invention provides a secure method for sending data—private, arrival-time messaging. Private, arrival-time messaging is based on classical physics and not quantum mechanics. It insures a private language for communicators with privately-synchronized clocks. In this method, there is no encrypted message available to an eavesdropper. A private message is mapped onto a time measurement known only to an intended sender and an intended receiver such that a third party knowing only the arrival time of the message and not the time measurement can never know the private message.

  • Patent number: 11646987
    Abstract: The problem of ensuring coverage for an inbound communication from a customer while also preventing concurrent responses from members of the agent group tasked with said coverage is solved by a system where a customer's thread is owned for routing purposes not by a single user but by a group of users, only one of whom is allowed to communicate with the customer until a timer expires or the thread is explicitly unlocked. Communication channels may include text messaging, voice telephony and email. In various embodiments, an adaptive rules engine is utilized to route incoming customer communications as well as outbound responses. A combination of communication/message locks and communication/messaging cache levels are used in some embodiments to provide communication/messaging coverage and to resolve competition between responding agents to address concurrency. Customer/agent communications which use multiple communication channels are threaded in an agent user interface.

  • Patent number: 11627102
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing messaging participant identity leak prevention. An example methodology implementing the techniques includes, receiving, by a computing device, a message from a sender to a recipient via a software application running on the computing device, the software application having a non-confidential messaging view and a confidential messaging view. The method also includes determining a message type of the message, the message type is one of a non-confidential message or a confidential message, and displaying the message in the confidential messaging view of the software application in response to a determination that the message type indicates a confidential message, the confidential messaging view being distinct from the non-confidential messaging view, wherein messaging participant identity information is obfuscated in the display of the message in the confidential messaging view.
