Patent number: 9742908Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for identifying call recordings for retention is provided. A call is received into a call center and assigned to one of an agent and an interactive voice response device. A recording of the assigned call is generated. A set of call retention criteria is maintained and each of the retention criteria is associated with one or more time periods during which the criteria can be applied to the call recording. A portion of the criteria in the set is identified based on a time at which the criteria is to be applied to the call recording. The identified criteria is applied to the call recording and the call recording is stored when the applied criteria are satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Intellisist, Inc.Inventors: Adam Waalkes, Gilad Odinak, Haodong (Howard) Jiang, Matthew Thorn, Tom McCann

Patent number: 8948368Abstract: A system and method for storing call recordings in a call center is provided. Incoming calls to a call center are monitored. Retention criteria are obtained and ordered by importance. The retention criteria are applied to each of the calls. Those calls that match at least one of the retention criteria are identified.

Patent number: 8895861Abstract: An electrically insulating cross-arm for a tower for high-voltage power networks. The cross-arm includes an insulating structural member for attachment to the tower body and to support a conductor cable. The insulating structural member comprises a solid rigid spine extending along a long axis having cross sectional profile, normal to the long axis, having a second moment of area of its cross sectional profile about every axis normal to the long axis and dissecting its centroid has a value of A2/2? or more, where A is the area of the cross sectional profile. The structural member provides resistance to bending and compressive buckling and allows conductors to be safely supported at reduced tower height. T and Y shaped cross sections provide water run-off and inhibition of organic growth. The structural members are also generally useful as insulator members in high voltage power networks.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2012Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Arago Technology LimitedInventors: Ian Cotton, Md Nor Ramdon Bin Baharom, Simon M.

Patent number: 8494151Abstract: A system and method for balancing call session assignments on an agent console is provided. Incoming call sessions and one or more agent consoles, each managed by an agent, are monitored. An absolute upper limit on a number of the call sessions allowed at each agent console at any given time is assigned. A load of call session assignments is balanced on each agent console. Objective conditions regarding call sessions already assigned to each agent are collected. Subjective conditions regarding the agent's opinion of a current call session are also collected. The objective and subjective conditions are evaluated against the absolute upper limit to determine a load factor. Each incoming call session is assigned to one such agent console based on the load factor.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Intellisist, Inc.Inventors: Adam Waalkes, Gilad Odinak, Haodong (Howard) Jiang, Matthew Thorn, Tom McCann

Patent number: 8306211Abstract: A system and method for retaining calls info a call center is provided. A multiplicity of calls is received into a call center. The nature of each call is determined and the calls are temporarily saved. One or more of the saved calls is retained by performing a plurality of evaluations against criteria. The saved calls that are not retained are discarded. Each of the saved calls retained are stored as a recording identified by the nature of each call.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2007Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Intellisist, Inc.Inventors: Adam Waalkes, Gilad Odinak, Haodong (Howard) Jiang, Matthew Thorn, Tom McCann

Patent number: 8023638Abstract: A system and method for balancing agent console load during automated call processing is provided. A plurality of agent consoles are operated in a call center. Progress of a call session of a caller that is calling into the call center at each agent console is monitored. An absolute upper limit on a number of the call sessions allowed at each agent console at any given time is assigned. A load of call session assignments on each agent console is balanced. Objective and subjective conditions pertinent to each assigned call session are continually collected from each agent console. The objective and subjective conditions that affect call session availability are updated for each agent console. The objective and subjective conditions are evaluated against the absolute upper limit to determine a load factor. Each call session is assigned to one such agent console within bounds applicable to the load factor.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2007Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Intellisist, Inc.Inventors: Adam Waalkes, Gilad Odinak, Haodong (Howard) Jiang, Matthew Thorn, Tom McCann
