  • Patent number: 9357071
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a telephonic communication between a customer and a contact center is provided. According to the method, a telephonic communication is separated into at least first constituent voice data and second constituent voice data. One of the first and second constituent voice data is analyzed by mining the voice data and applying a predetermined linguistic-based psychological behavioral model to one of the separated first and second constituent voice data. Behavioral assessment data is generated which corresponds to the analyzed voice data.

  • Publication number: 20160133274
    Abstract: The methods and systems described herein predict user behavior based on analysis of a user video communication. The methods include receiving a user video communication, extracting video facial analysis data from the video communication, extracting voice analysis data from the video communication, associating the video facial analysis data with the voice analysis data to determine an emotional state of a user, collecting biographical profile information specific to the user, applying a linguistic-based psychological behavioral model to the spoken words to determine personality type of the user, and inputting the collected biographical profile information, emotional state, and personality type into a predictive model to determine a likelihood of an outcome of the video communication.

  • Publication number: 20160105565
    Abstract: A method for automatically routing a telephonic communication is provided, and includes receiving a customer identifier and communicating with a customer history database storing historic data and determining whether the received customer identifier corresponds to a stored customer identifier in the customer history database, wherein the customer profile included in the stored historic data is based on a portion of a customer's demographic identity. Historic data corresponding to the stored customer number is identified based on the comparison of the received customer identifier and the stored customer identifier. The telephonic communication is associated with a predetermined communication destination based on the identified historic data.
