Publication number: 20200193965Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2018Publication date: June 18, 2020Applicant: Language Line Services, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Cordell, Lindsay D'Penha, Julia Berke

Publication number: 20200065390Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2018Publication date: February 27, 2020Applicant: Language Line Services, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Cordell, James Boutcher, Lindsay D'Penha, Jordy Boom

Patent number: 9842108Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2015Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: Language Line Services, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Cordell
