  • Providing customer service agents with customer-personalized result of spoken language intent
    Patent number: 10417345
    Abstract: A system in which a customer service agent (CSA) is able to assist a customer with obtaining a desired response from a speech-controlled appliance while protecting customer data. The customer service agent submits queries to a natural language understanding (NLU) processor that performs entity resolution using personalized library information stored in an entity library based on the customer identity information and/or an device identifier. The CSA is shielded from the entity library itself, as well as data stored on the speech-controlled appliance. The CSA can instruct the NLU processor to deliver results to multiple endpoints, including both the customer's appliance and the CSA agent's console.
