  • Publication number: 20200099588
    Abstract: Systems and methods for computing communication matrices based on opportunity scoring of a plurality of network-connected user devices. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a scoring algorithm may compute an opportunity score for future delivery of interactions comprising parameters such as a cumulative time comprising historic and real-time communication time between a client device with an agent; geographic location and distance between a client device and an agent device; a quantity of direct connections for one or more client devices associated to an agent device; a quantity of indirect connections for one or more client devices associated to the agent device; quantity metrics associated to an agent device, for example, a total number of registrations. An interaction manager then routs interactions based on scoring of agent devices.

  • Patent number: 10561942
    Abstract: A system, method, and processor-readable storage medium for providing metronome signals are disclosed. An example method includes receiving at least one metronome timing profile, obtaining an audio stream of a computer game, receiving a player instruction or software instruction, and generating, based on the player or software instruction, metronome signals according to the at least one metronome timing profile. The metronome signals and the audio stream can be combined and output simultaneously. The players can also provide settings for the metronome signals such as a selection of a sound or a frequency. The players can also create and edit metronome timing profiles. The metronome timing profiles can be also shared among players.
