  • Patent number: 11979273
    Abstract: In one example, a server system interfaces with a plurality of remotely-situated client entities to provide data communications services. The system uses processing circuitry to access an archive of voice data indicative of transcribed audio conversations between a client station and another station participating via the data communications services. Archived voice data includes keywords associated with at least one intent or at least one topic of the transcribed audio conversations. The system identifies keywords and/or identified contexts in a message (e.g., text-based message) received by a text-based virtual assistant, and correlates the text-based message with at least one intent or at least one topic by matching keywords from the archive of digital voice data with the identified keywords from the text-based message. The system may automatically configure the virtual assistant associated with the remotely-situated client entity to address the received text-based message, based on the correlation.

  • Patent number: 11792300
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to context aggregation in a data communications network. According to a specific example, process user-data communications between a client station and another station participating in data communications via the data communications services can be processed, where the client station is associated with one of a plurality of client entities configured and arranged to interface with a data communications server providing data communications services. Context information can be aggregated for each respective user-data communication between the client station and the participating station, where the context information corresponds to at least one communications-specific characteristic associated with the user-data communications.

  • Patent number: 11790178
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to context aggregation in a data communications network. According to a specific example, user-data communications between a client-specific endpoint device and the other participating endpoint device during a first time period can be retrieved from a plurality of interconnected data communications systems. The client station can be configured and arranged to interface with a data communications server providing data communications services on a subscription basis. Context information for each respective user-data communication between the client station and the participating station during the first time period can be aggregated, such that subsequent user-data communications received from the participating station and intended for the client entity, can be routed based on the aggregated context information.

  • Patent number: 11700332
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods concerning providing a data-communications contact center virtual agent are disclosed. As an example, user-data-communications between client and participant stations are facilitated as follows, which may be implemented using a data communications server and associated communications circuitry. Service request data is received from users at a participant stations, and context information is identified for user-data-communications between a client station and the participant stations based on the service request data at least one communications-specific characteristic associated with the user-data-communications. The identified context information is aggregated for the client station and used for choosing a data routing option routing data with each user at the participant stations, based on the service request data and the aggregated context information.
