  • Publication number: 20250039116
    Abstract: A contact record enrichment system receives contact records generated by a contact center platform in association with individual contacts handled by a contact center. If multiple contacts are part of a contact chain associated with the same customer journey, such as a customer journey that involves one or more transfers between different contacts, the contact record enrichment system enriches corresponding contact records with transfer data about the entire customer journey. The transfer data added to an individual contact record for an individual contact in the customer journey causes the contact record to indicate information about the entire customer journey, in addition to information about the individual contact.

  • Patent number: 8509473
    Abstract: A control unit may automatically enable and/or disable a washing apparatus based on processing of an image of wares to be washed by the washing apparatus. In one example, a system includes a camera configured to capture an image of one or more wares to be washed by a washing apparatus, a computer-readable medium comprising a plurality of item profiles, each of the item profiles comprising a visual signature and one or more wash cycle characteristics, and a control unit configured to retrieve the image, detect one of the visual signatures of the plurality of item profiles in the image, select the one of the item profiles corresponding to the detected visual signature, enable the washing apparatus, and automatically disable the washing apparatus after the ware is determined to be clean in accordance with the selected one of the item profiles.

  • Patent number: 7418596
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide secure, efficient, and mutually authenticated cryptographic key distribution. A client or client manufacturer may pre-generate and pre-encrypt the cryptographic keys, store the encrypted keys within the client, and deliver such keys to the serving network's access server via the client, while also relying upon, if available, the authentication performed by a trusted access server of an intermediate network which the client must traverse in order to obtain access the serving network. If not available, a client password stored within the client may be used to enable client authentication by the serving network prior to acceptance of the delivered cryptographic keys.
