  • Patent number: 12034884
    Abstract: The location of voice prompts within a call waveform is usually conducted by match filtering a snippet of the prompt (approx. 800 ms) to the call waveform. In an enhanced process that can accommodate transmission errors when detecting voice prompts on lower quality transmission lines, a snippet of a voice prompt may be divided into sniplets, typically 100 ms long. The sniplets can be individually detected. If a sufficient number of sniplets are detected within allowed time tolerances, then this subset of detected sniplets can indicate the presence of the snippet, and thus the associated voice prompt.

  • Patent number: 11825025
    Abstract: Prompt snippets (typically 800 ms long) that are used to detect voice prompts within a call waveform may be divided into smaller sniplet portions (approx. 100 ms) long. The presence of a prompt in a call waveform may be detected by detecting the sniplets and determining if a sufficient number of the sniplets of a snippet were detected in sequence and within allowable time constraints. The use of sniplets improves accuracy of prompt detection in call waveforms in lower quality transmissions.

  • Patent number: 11418647
    Abstract: To enable analysis of the performance of a customer contact center handling interactions across multiple types of communication channels, a system is provided that collects and analyzes data across the multiple channels and allows a user, such as an analyst, to analyze customer journeys that comprise multiple interactions, or contacts, across multiple communication channel types. That analysis can be used to identify journeys with similar, perhaps problematic, characteristics and provide the analyst user with the ability to examine the collected data for each identified journey individually. Once a journey is selected, the system displays the collected data in a coordinated display of journey timeline, text history, and sequence of automatically detected significant events.

  • Patent number: 8911973
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, compositions, and kits comprising snap-back primers used for forming 3? hairpin structures, 5? hairpin structures, and double hairpin structures. The hairpin structures may be used for detecting target sequences (e.g., such as small RNA target sequence), for detecting polymorphisms in target sequences (e.g., such as polymorphisms located near the 5? or 3? ends of the target sequence), or other nucleic acid characterization methods. In certain embodiments, the hairpin structures form invasive cleavage structures (e.g., in combination with a probe or upstream oligonucleotide) which may be cleaved by structure-specific enzymes in order to detect the presence or absence of a particular nucleotide or nucleotide sequence.

  • Publication number: 20070204063
    Abstract: Message delivery approaches are disclosed in which senders can define filters with associated actions for evaluation in relation to specified messages. After creating and storing filters with specified actions, senders dispatch messages to a processing system, which evaluates the filters against the messages. If a match occurs, the processing system performs the specified actions on the messages. In one embodiment, the processing system can send the same message multiple times to different receiving systems, and can modify the source IP address and outbound interface of the message for each receiving system. Further, the source IP address or interface may be modified by a filter in response to external events, such as a receiving system blocking another copy of the message.
