  • Patent number: 11770478
    Abstract: A system and methods for mobile device active callback prioritization with predictive outcome scoring, utilizing an enhanced callback prioritization engine operating on a user's mobile device for integration through the operating system and software applications operating on the device, wherein the enhanced callback prioritization engine receives intercepted data or voice messages sent to the mobile device, retrieves and aggregates data related to the assigned messages, inputs the assigned data message and aggregate data into prioritization model wherein the prioritization model may analyze the input data, the results of the analysis may be used to compute a priority score for the assigned data message. An outcome model may be present and configured to produce outcome scores for a callback recipient based on the context of the data or voice message. System generates a callback list from the computed prioritization score and outcome score.

  • Patent number: 11770477
    Abstract: A system and method for managing virtual queues. A cloud-based queue service manages a plurality of queues hosted by one or more entities. The queue service is in constant communication with the entities providing queue management, queue analysis, and queue recommendations. The queue service is likewise in direct communication with queued persons. Sending periodic updates while also motivating and incentivizing punctuality and minimizing wait times based on predictive analysis. The predictive analysis uses “Big Data” and other available data resources such as schedule data and historical throughput data for various resources associated with an entity, for which the predictions assist in the balancing of persons across multiple queues for the same event or multiple persons across a sequence of queues for sequential events.

  • Publication number: 20230300249
    Abstract: A system and method for intent-based active callback management using enhanced callback objects and callback actions, utilizing a cloud callback system comprising at least a profile manager, callback manager, interaction manager, media server, environment analyzer, and intent analyzer, allowing users to call businesses, agents in contact centers, or other users who are connected to a cloud callback system, and, failing to connect to the individual they called, allow for an automatic callback object to be created, whereby the two users may be automatically called and bridged together at a time when both users are available. The intent analyzer is configured to receive an audio file or a transcribed audio file and perform various speech processing tasks such as punctuation determination, domain identification, and intent classification in order to produce one or more callback actions to be applied to the callback object for the management and execution of callbacks.

  • Patent number: 11743387
    Abstract: An adaptive cloud conversation platform capable of making automated decisions regarding when and how to establish on-going communications with consumers so as to maximize the relationship between the consumer and a given brand. The system has a connection management services layer which determines what communications should be established and how they should be established, an initiation management services layer which determines when communications should be established, and a user management services layer which stores information about consumers and brands for determination of when and how communications should be established. Certain of these services have machine learning algorithms incorporated into them trained to perform analyses of the particular type of operation handled by that service. The outputs of each service can be used as inputs to other services, such that a network of machine learnings algorithms is created which determines when and how to establish on-going communications with consumers.

  • Publication number: 20230224408
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing callback times to increase the success rate of callbacks while managing overflow of calls to alternate sites when callbacks are unsuccessful. The system and method use a context-aware pacing algorithm to determine when callbacks are likely to be successful from a preferred contact site, routing to alternate callback sites when callbacks are unsuccessful, and preferences for re-routing back to the preferred site when a callback is successful and the agent with whom the caller has interacted previously is available.
