  • Publication number: 20200193965
    Abstract: A configuration is implemented via a processor to receive a request for spoken language interpretation of a user query from a first spoken language to a second spoken language. The first spoken language is spoken by a user situated at an audio-based device that is remotely situated from the customer care platform. The user query is sent from the audio-based device by the user to the customer care platform. The configuration performs, at a language interpretation platform, a first spoken language interpretation of the user query from the first spoken language to the second spoken language. Further, the configuration transmits, from the language interpretation platform to the customer care platform, the first spoken language interpretation so that a customer care representative speaking the second spoken language understands the first spoken language being spoken by the user.

  • Patent number: 10613827
    Abstract: A configuration receives, with a processor, a request for a voice-based, human-spoken language interpretation from a first human-spoken language to a second human-spoken language. Further, the configuration routes, with the processor, the request to a device associated with a remotely-located human interpreter. In addition, the configuration receives, with the processor, audio in the first human-spoken language from a telecommunication device. The configuration also augments, in real-time with the processor, the audio with one or more visual features corresponding to the audio. Further, the configuration sends, with the processor, the augmented audio to the device associated with the human interpreter for the voice-based, human-spoken language interpretation to be based on the augmented audio in a simulated video remote interpretation session.

  • Publication number: 20200065390
    Abstract: A configuration is implemented via a processor to receive a request to perform a service. Further, the configuration selects a human representative from a plurality of human representatives associated with a communication center based on a computing device associated with the human representative indicating that the human representative is online and available to perform the service. In addition, the configuration routes the request to the computing device associated with the human representative. The configuration also monitors activity of the human representative at the computing device associated with the human representative. Further, the configuration determines that the activity of the human representative is inconsistent with the human representative being available to perform the service. Finally, the configuration reroutes the request to a different computing device associated with a different human representative.

    Abstract: A computer implemented language interpretation/translation platform is provided. The computer implemented language interpretation/translation platform comprises a processor that receives a request from a mobile computing device for a voice-based language interpretation/translation session. Further, the processor determines a potential language interpreter/translator to perform language interpretation/translation based upon the request. In addition, the processor sends a non-voice augmented feature that is associated with the potential language interpreter/translator to the mobile computing device so that the mobile computing device renders the non-voice augmented feature on a display device of the mobile computing device. The processor also receives an indication from the mobile computing device that the potential language interpreter/translator is accepted by a user associated with the mobile computing device.

  • Patent number: 9842108
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and process are provided for an automated escalation agent. A receiver receives a request for language interpretation from a first language to a second language. Further, a database stores data associated with a plurality of language interpreters associated with a computer implemented language interpretation platform. A processor searches the database and determines that no online language interpreter is available to perform language interpretation at a time of the request and that escalates the request to determine if an offline language interpreter is available to initiate the language interpretation within a predetermined time period measured from the time of the request. An automated escalation agent module searches the database according to notification criteria, and sends at least one notification including the request to a plurality of offline language interpreters that meet the notification criteria.
