  • Patent number: 11715112
    Abstract: Contact center agents commonly have dissimilar levels of skill for a particular topic or ability. Often an expert is available to help lesser-skilled agents, but such experts may not always be available. Automated systems and methods are provided that allow for an agent-customer interaction to be monitored and, when a question is present, identify a best-matching knowledge unit to address the question. With the knowledge unit identified, a prior communication portion associated with the knowledge unit is then presented to the agent, such as via pop-up message, whisper voice message, etc., to allow the agent to have the benefit of the knowledge of the expert to answer the question without engaging the expert.

  • Patent number: 11222642
    Abstract: Artificial agents utilized for voice interactions continue to improve in their capacity to conduct more sophisticated interactions. Rather than just presenting a limited set of options, artificial agents are continuing to narrow the gap between generated speech and natural human speech. A requirement is often in place that spoken interactions be recorded, however, storing speech, even with data compression, is a resource-demanding task. Generated speech may be provided from content, such as text, and speech data. By recording an identifier of the content and associated speech data, storage processing and space requirements can be greatly reduced. Playback may be provided from a waveform of audio provided by the human participant and by selecting the content associated with the content identifier and generating speech of the content utilizing settings provided by the speech data.

  • Publication number: 20210365868
    Abstract: Allocating agent resources in a contact center including receiving a new contact at the contact center and instantiating a contact object corresponding to the new contact. A first set of information is received by the contact center, and a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is selected for deployment to a target destination. At least one characteristic of the first UAV is associated with the contact object; an additional set of information related to at least one of the contact object or the first UAV is received by the contact center during a travel period of the first UAV to the target destination; and a dynamic prediction is made regarding a particular agent of the contact center to connect to the contact object. The contact object is then connected to an agent device associated with the particular agent.

  • Patent number: 11115538
    Abstract: A contact center includes: a microprocessor; a computer readable medium, coupled to the microprocessor, to retrieve, store, and manage desktop analytic data that describes the current state of an agent's desktop. The current state of the agent's desktop can be reported to a contact center where that information can be used as additional information in assigning contacts to the agent. The contact may be sent to the agent having documentation or information readily accessible to response to the issue associated with the contact.

  • Patent number: 11102353
    Abstract: A video stream of a video call between a communication endpoint of customer and a communication endpoint of a contact center agent is received. The video stream of the video call is processed in real-time to generate a real-time emotion transcript. The real-time emotion transcript tracks a plurality of separate emotions based on non-verbal expressions (e.g. facial expressions) that occur in the video stream of the video call. For example, different emotions of both the customer and the contact center agent may tracked in the real-time emotion transcript. The real-time emotion transcript is compared to an emotion transcript of at least one previous video call to determine if the video call should be handled differently in the contact center. In response to determining that video call should be handled differently in the contact center, an action determined to change how the video call is managed in the contact center.

  • Patent number: 10951662
    Abstract: In an open integration framework of a computerized cybersecurity incident management software platform, integrations are defined at an action level for integrating cybersecurity products for performing desired actions into the cybersecurity incident management software platform. High-level parameters of an integration are defined through an integration definition file. The integration definition file identifies a cybersecurity product to be called through an application program interface. One or more actions of the integration are defined through one or more respective action definition files that define details of the one or more actions. The action definition files identify the integration defined by the integration definition file, and the actions requiring use of the cybersecurity product through the application program interface.

  • Patent number: 10812321
    Abstract: A plurality of nodes on a network may be utilized to communicate with external nodes outside of the plurality. The removal from service of a number of the plurality of nodes may cause the network to become ineffective or inoperable. Nodes may be monitored to determine a predicated out-of-service condition and mitigating actions taken. For example, if an operator of a node is likely to be unable to provide required inputs to the node, another node with associated operator may be allocated to become available at a timely predicted to coincide with the outage of the monitored node. Other mitigating actions may also be utilized, such as reassigning the physical location of the monitored node.

  • Patent number: 10659607
    Abstract: A process for updating a second agent about a call in a contact center comprises receiving a call at the contact center and connecting the call to a device associated with a first agent of the contact center. A processor is used to configure a list of keywords to detect during the call, and when a key word is detected (e.g., using a speech analyzer), a snippet of the call based on the detected keywords is identified. The snippets are presented to a second agent through a device associated with the second agent. The call is then connected to the device associated with the second agent.
