Abstract: A conversation system may dynamically control a conversation or workflow by performing multi-modal conversation monitoring, generating actions that control the conversation based on the multi-modal monitoring producing conversation elements that deviate from patterns of a selected plan for that conversation, and/or by dynamically generating and/or updating the plan for future conversations based on the pattern recognition. For instance, the conversation system may detect a pattern within completed conversations that resulted in a common outcome, may monitor an active conversation between at least an agent and a participant, may extract different sets of conversation elements from different points in the active conversation, may determine that a particular set of conversation elements deviates from the pattern, and may modify the active conversation by performing one or more actions based on the particular set of conversation elements that deviate from the pattern.

Abstract: An illegal call detection apparatus comprises a data collecting unit, a preprocessing unit, and a learning unit. The data collecting unit collects, from at least one of a subscriber terminal or a call exchanger, a raw packet generated by the subscriber terminal using a VoIP service, and collects, from the billing server, CDR data related to the raw packet. The preprocessing unit generates learning data by using service usage information extracted from the CDR data and service detailed information extracted from the raw packet, and generates a training image by converting the training data into an image according to a predetermined imaging rule. The learning unit extracts at least one or more features from the training image, and learns whether the training image is related to an illegal call by using the features, through an illegal call detection model.

Abstract: A computerized-method using a cloud-based computing environment for improving client service, in a contact center is provided herein. The computerized-method includes: retrieving a context of a query and a time-limit from a CTI event and attempting to retrieve data to evaluate average resolution time for the received context. When the data is found, comparing the evaluated average resolution time with the received time-limit and when the received time-limit is below the evaluated average resolution time, sending a delay notice and providing the client a menu of options for querying through other channels. When the data is not found, or when the received time-limit is above the evaluated average resolution time, presenting on an agent dashboard, the time-limit of the client and accordingly updating parameters in the agent dashboard during the inbound call, thus, improving client service, by considering the time-limit of the client before the agent addresses a query.

Abstract: A system of handling callers, uses a computer, that receives a call, assigns an operator to handle the call, and automatically recognizes at least one aspect of a voice from a caller, and automatically forms a response to be given to the caller. The caller is prevented from knowing they are speaking with a computer by receiving responses from multiple different similar sounding operators. The computer providing sound to the caller which interferes with the caller being able to determine that the caller has been placed on hold from the operator, e.g., an average of multiple people talking in the background. The computer also maintains a ledger of the call, where the ledger includes information about recognized voice from the caller, and responses which were given to the caller, for each of a plurality of exchanges which occur during the call and distributes that ledger.

Abstract: Voice and video features of a software platform are integrated to enable customization of software services of the software platform on a customer-basis. Routing rules are defined to route calls to certain phone numbers or extensions to certain software services. Thereafter, when a call is received via a telephony system associated with the software platform, a routing rule customized for the software platform is identified based on information signaled with the call, such as a phone number or extension dialed to place the call. A software service is determined based on the routing rule, and the phone is connected with the software system that provides the software service.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for creating bots for automating first party touchpoints with contact centers. Software bots created using Robotic Process Automation (RPA) are integrated with a contact center's different customer touch points (e.g. chatbots, emails and SMS, websites, IVR application, mobile applications, agent workstation). Artificial intelligence behind the touch points finds the intent of an interaction and the respective RPAs to be triggered using a fulfillment engine that finds and executes the appropriate fulfillment for each interaction intent. A REST API Request is sent to an RPA execution server, which runs the selected RPA and sends the result to the respective touch point that triggered it.
