  • Patent number: 11201964
    Abstract: The graphical programming call router features a rich library of powerful and easy-to-use components that administrators can use to seamlessly drop in contact center actions such as data dips, complex interactive voice responses (“IVRs”) and call recordings, among many others. This makes it easy to visualize the exact structure and outcome of any call flow. The graphical programming call router also offers granular queue management functionality so you can get specific around call prioritization, wait time and time-based actions on virtual queues.

  • Publication number: 20210319306
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for prefetching information and/or (pre)allocating computing resources based on predicting classification labels with temporal data. A trained temporal classification model forecasts events (e.g., too numerous for individual modeling) by predicting classification labels indicating whether events will occur, or a number of occurrences of the events, during each of a plurality of future time intervals. Time-series datasets, indicating whether events occurred, or a number of occurrences of the events, during each of a plurality of past time intervals, are transformed into temporal classification datasets. Classifications may be based, at least in part, on extracted features, such as data seasonality, temporal representation, statistical and/or real-time features. Classification labels are used to determine whether to take one or more actions, such as, for example, prefetching information or (pre)allocating a computing resource.

  • Publication number: 20210306217
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide techniques for dynamic rate-limiting, such as techniques that utilize one or more of asynchronous rate-limiting, context-aware rate-limiting, and cost-aware rate-limiting. In one example, a method for asynchronous rate-limiting includes the steps of receiving a rate-limiting request for a service application; extracting one or more policy-defining parameters from the rate-limiting request; querying a local cache storage medium associated with the rate-limit decision node to identify one or more local rate-limiting policies associated with the rate-limiting request; determining, based on the one or more policy-defining parameters and the one or more local rate-limiting policies, a rate-limiting decision for the rate-limiting request; and transmitting the rate-limiting decision to the service application in response to the rate-limiting request.

  • Publication number: 20210263997
    Abstract: Methods of generating websites using any combination of remotely and locally stored content are contemplated. Content is procured by a user on a client computer, and a request to add that content to a source folder is sent to a server. The server adds the content to the source folder, where it is made available for website creation. When a client requests creation of a website using the contents of a source folder, the server then generates that website. In some embodiments, the website can be generated according to a user-selected theme or a default theme.

  • Publication number: 20210248601
    Abstract: This post-paid process and system for disconnected terminals solves the problem of a disconnected terminal being able to perform post-paid operations securely, using an electronic device of the user to communicate with a central server which creates a token with a temporal validity that serves to activate a compound of the disconnected terminal and, optionally, additional hardware. All operations performed in the terminal are locked to make it impossible to alter the data and signed with a cryptographic key before using the client device as transportation for the operations block to be processed in the central server and charged.
