  • Processing social networking-based user input information to identify potential topics of interest
    Patent number: 8918468
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of processing communications with end users are disclosed. One example method may include detecting a message or post on a website over the Internet that matches a monitoring company's keywords or rules and processing the message by parsing the message and performing a natural language interpretation of the message and processing the parsed message to determine the user's topic of interest. In response, the method may further provide generating a response to the message based on the user's requested objective and sending the response to the user acknowledging the user's topic of interest. Live agents may be notified to check the status of a message and continually override automated message responses to ensure the integrity of the responses.

  • Method and apparatus of processing speech dialog data of a user call
    Patent number: 8787534
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of processing caller experiences is disclosed. One example method may include determining a call event type occurring during a call and assigning a weight to the call event type via a processing device.

  • WRITE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZED FORMAT FOR A HYBRID DRIVE
    Publication number: 20140068178
    Abstract: An apparatus for optimizing write performance of a hybrid drive includes a magnetic medium that stores data with respect to the hybrid drive and a plurality of write cache regions configured on the magnetic medium. When a write request is received by the hybrid drive, a head of the hybrid drive is automatically positioned to a nearest write cache region for writing of data to at least one write cache region without rotational orientation, thereby eliminating rotational latency and optimizing the write performance of the hybrid drive. The hybrid drive also updates normal data regions of the magnetic medium with data comprising write cached data during drive idle time, freeing up the write cache regions for future writes.
