  • Patent number: 8094803
    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 first and second constituent voice data. One of the first and second constituent voice data is analyzed. The analysis consist of translating one the constituent voice data into a text format and applying a predetermined linguistic-based psychological behavioral model to the translated voice data. In applying the behavioral model, the translated voice data is mined, and behavioral signifiers associated with the psychological behavioral model are identified in the voice data. The behavioral signifiers are automatically associated with at least one of a plurality of personality types associated with the psychological behavioral model. Behavioral assessment data is generated which corresponds to the analyzed voice data.

  • Patent number: 8023639
    Abstract: A method of determining the complexity of a telephonic communication received by a contact center is provided. The method comprises the step of establishing a call rule based on one or more of a call duration threshold, a non-interaction threshold, a distress event threshold, a third party dialog threshold, and a call transfer threshold. A recorded telephonic communication is received and call attributes associated with the telephonic communication are determined. The call attributes include one or more of the following: call duration data, non-interaction data, distress event data, third party dialog data and call transfer data. The established call rule is compared to the call attributes of the telephonic communication, and data indicative of the complexity of the telephonic communication is generated.

  • Publication number: 20080240374
    Abstract: A method for managing communications between a customer and a contact center is provided. The communication may include voice data, interactive response data and web interaction data. Upon the receipt of an interaction identifier, related conversation data is located. Following the location of the related conversation data, the conversation data is organized sequentially. The organized conversation data may then be analyzed and distress data, behavioral assessment data and event data may be determined, either for each individual interaction segment or the entire combined experience. Following the analysis, the organized conversation data may then transfer the organized conversation data to a portal for display to a user. Further, the associated statistics can be viewed in reporting within the portal or systematically extracted from the system for further analysis.
