  • Patent number: 12231726
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for transferring an interactive feature from a first device to a second device. Two users may be consuming a media asset. Upon receipt of a command to active an interactive feature, a determination is made whether a user who did not activate the interactive feature is interested in the media asset. Upon that determination, a timer is activated that tracks an amount of time for which the interactive feature is active and a determination is made whether a threshold time period has been met. Once the threshold time period is met, a device associated with the user that activated the interactive feature is identified and the users are prompted to transfer the interactive feature to the device.

  • Patent number: 12120267
    Abstract: Customers often call a contact center to resolve an issue only to find the contact center cannot resolve the customer's issue and instead requires a third party to perform some action. By monitoring a customer's communication with an agent, an automated process may generate a workflow to address the issue comprising at least one action to be performed by a third party. The third party is then contacted, in real-time or offline, and provided with their actions to be performed. Records are written to a blockchain describing authentications, actions to take and by whom, and the completion of such actions. The resulting success, or lack thereof, is provided as feedback to further refine the accuracy of the automatic determinations of the workflow and/or the identity of the particular third parties.

  • Publication number: 20240250921
    Abstract: Virtual agents may be deployed to conduct a communication with a customer to determine and resolve a work item. During the communication, the virtual agent may need to obtain or provide information to other entities. However, coding a virtual agent to perform such communications is difficult and error prone. By providing a messaging system with a central repository, the virtual agent may register an interest in another entity, group of entities, the state of one or more entities, or information contained therein via messaging to a central repository. The central repository then provides callback messages to the virtual agent that matches the interest or any other conditions specified.
