Abstract: A processor-implemented method of enabling a customer support interaction in multiple channels in parallel is provided. The processor-implemented includes (i) receiving a call at a contact center from a customer, (ii) providing a notification to the customer with reference to a hold time to reach a live human agent at a first live channel, (iii) selecting at least one automation task to be performed for a customer's requirement by a virtual agent at a second non-live channel, and (iv) enabling transfer of the customer from the first live channel to the second non-live channel with the virtual agent and communicating the at least one automation task to be performed for the customer's requirement to the virtual agent at the second non-live channel. The at least one automation task is a series of steps performed by the virtual agent to complete an objective.

Abstract: A method for generating and communicating communication components over a messaging channel is provided. The method includes (i) presenting a structured micro block based on a conversation in a form of unstructured natural language in the messaging channel between a user and an agent (ii) incorporating the structured micro block that collects strongly typed information from the user as a part of the conversation in the messaging channel, (iv) generating a structured workflow by interleaving the structured micro block with the unstructured natural language, and (v) communicating the structured workflow over the messaging channel for enabling the user to perform one or more operations.

Abstract: A security event that is associated with one or more communication devices is detected. For example, the security event may be an unexpected change in data being sent from a communication device outside an enterprise. In response to detecting the security event, a Virtual Service Network (VSN) is created that isolates one or more communication devices that may pose a security risk. A corrective action to mitigate the security event is then implemented. For example, the corrective action may be to dynamically instantiate a firewall on the VSN that blocks the transfer of data from the communication device outside the enterprise. This allows an administrator to review the security event and take further action if necessary. Because the VSN with the firewall is created dynamically, the network remains secure while the security event is investigated.

Abstract: Communications often require the prior selection of a particular mode of communications. A voice call requires initiation of a telephone connection (e.g., dialing a number) in a telephone application or interface, an email communication requires selection of an email address in an email application or the launching of such an email application. Omni-channel communications, as described herein, enable a connection to be initiated in a unified platform for any available mode of communication. Communications may incorporate workflow management and widgets to dynamically present or receive information from a user or access other device hardware (e.g., camera, GPS receiver, etc.) or data (e.g., images, videos, documents, etc.).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for implementing real-time transport control protocol (RTCP) to obtain end-to-end session information. The system receives an RTCP extension that is associated with an RTCP packet in a communication session. The RTCP extension may include an instruction for transmitting RTCP data based on a triggering event. The RTCP extension can be configured to propagate along the communication session. Next, in response to the triggering event, the system can transmit the RTCP data to an address defined by the instruction as a destination address for receiving information associated with the triggering event.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for generating an end-to-end quality indication associated with a communication session. Based on a real-time transport control protocol message, the system identifies a media path associated with a communication session. Next, the system determines a respective media leg quality for a plurality of media legs in the media path. Based on the respective media leg quality, the system then determines a media path quality. The system can also generate a media quality indication based on the media path quality, and display the media quality indication.

Abstract: To allow more non-enterprise communication endpoints to communicate without having to allocate an extension for every non-enterprise communication endpoint, a request is received to communicate with an enterprise communication system from a non-enterprise communication endpoint. A temporary password is associated with a dynamic communication address (e.g., from a group of dynamic extensions). The temporary password and the dynamic communication address are sent to the non-enterprise communication endpoint. The non-enterprise communication endpoint registers with the communication system using the temporary password and the dynamic communication address. A communication session is established between the non-enterprise communication endpoint and an enterprise communication endpoint using the dynamic communication address.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for a communication session identifier. A communication session identifier can act as a virtual relay between conference participants, forwarding emails, phone calls, attachments, messages, and other information from a central address associated with the communications session identifier. In this manner, a user who desires to communicate with other conference participants only needs to send the communication to the communication session identifier, which in turn distributes the communication to the other parties. These communications can include emails, social networking messages, instant messaging, voice messages, and other forms of communication.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for accomplishing a virtual call on hold. A client communication device, such as a telephone, smartphone, or computer, receives a notification of a communication session to which the user is invited, and establishes a relationship with the communication session.

The communication session can be a conference call, video conference, a multi-modal chat wherein multiple users communicate via different modalities.

Then, based on the real-time transport control protocol messages, the system determines a security status associated with the communication session. The system can also generate an indication of the security status associated with the communication session. Further, the system can generate an indication of the security status of a communication session on a per participant basis.
