Patent number: 10122858Abstract: A system and method for processing interaction requests includes a computer system that receives over a data channel from an end user device accessible to the customer, a request for an interaction. The request includes data from an application running on the end user device. The data is stored by the computer system upon receipt. When a voice call from a telephony device accessible to the customer is received, a voice media session is established with the telephony device over a voice channel. The data is identified based on information associated with the voice call. A contact center resource is further identified for routing the voice call. The data is attached to a request to route the call to the identified contact center resource.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Inventors: Vladislav Baranovsky, Vladimir Mezhibovsky, Anton Brazhnyk, Gregory Jacob Duclos, David H.

Publication number: 20180259156Abstract: The invention provides a lighting system for generating patterned phosphor-converted output beams for projection onto a pixelated display unit (24). A phosphor screen arrangement (18) comprises a plurality of separate light-receiving surface regions (34), each region (34) illuminated by an individually addressable laser source arrangement. By controlling the relative intensity of light directed to each of the surface regions (34), a broad range of different output beam patterns can be created from the phosphor screen arrangement (18). The generated beam pattern may be controlled so as to correspond with the pixel configuration of the display unit (24), such that light is directed only toward pixels (26) which are active, rather than inactive. This enables significant improvements in optical efficiency, since light need not be wasted through propagation toward pixels (26) which are configured simply to discard it.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2016Publication date: September 13, 2018Applicant: Lumileds Holdings B.V.Inventors: Ulrich HECHTFISCHER, Matthias EPMEIER, Jerry Gregory JACOB

Patent number: 9531878Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system and method for processing interaction requests from a customer. A computer system receives over a data channel from an end user device accessible to the customer, a request for an interaction. The request includes data from an application running on the mobile device. An access number is identified from a pool of access numbers based on the data, and the identified access number is reserved. The identified access number is transmitted to the end user device over the data channel.
