  • Patent number: 11367029
    Abstract: A system and method are presented for adaptive skill level assignments of agents in contact center environments. A client and a service collaborate to automatically determine the effectiveness of an agent handling an interaction that has been routed using skills-based routing. Evaluation operations may be performed including emotion detection, transcription of audio to text, keyword analysis, and sentiment analysis. The results of the evaluation are aggregated with other information such as the interaction's duration, agent skills and agent skill levels, and call requirement skills and skill levels, to update the agent's profile which is then used for subsequent routing operations.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10432783
    Abstract: A method for handling calls to be moved within a system having an unmonitored domain and a monitored domain can include the step of upon first arrival of a call at said unmonitored domain, a context of said call based on a called number, a calling number, and any redirection number(s) included in said call can be provided. Another step of the method can include, for each movement of said call between said unmonitored domain and said monitored domain, providing a unique number to be temporarily used for said particular movement, based on said call context, while avoiding that said unique number is used to move any other call within the system at the same time. An apparatus for can be configured to facilitate performance of the method (e.g. communication system, a device, non-transitory memory, etc.).

    Abstract: A method for handling calls to be moved within a system having an unmonitored domain and a monitored domain can include the step of upon first arrival of a call at said un-monitored domain, a context of said call based on a called number, a calling number, and any redirection number(s) included in said call can be provided. Another step of the method can include, for each movement of said call between said unmonitored domain and said monitored domain, providing a unique number to be temporarily used for said particular movement, based on said call context, while avoiding that said unique number is used to move any other call within the system at the same time.
