  • Patent number: 11394681
    Abstract: A system and method for improving the download time of emails in an environment in which a server distributes emails to persons working in close proximity to each other. When these persons receive multi-recipient emails intended for several or all of these persons, the server distributing the emails delivers the multi-recipient emails to the first one of the persons who logged on to read his or her emails on his or her personal computer, for distribution to the other persons over a personal area network. This reduces the download time for the persons downloading their emails at a subsequent time.

  • Patent number: 11196862
    Abstract: A system includes one or more processors configured to receive call-specific data during a call between a customer and a customer service representative, and the call-specific data includes a verbal input. The one or more processors are configured to determine one or more characteristics of the verbal input and to determine an initial inquiry of the customer based at least in part on the one or more characteristics of the verbal input. The one or more processors are also configured to determine one or more follow-up inquiries based at least in part on the initial inquiry and to provide information related to the one or more follow-up questions in a window on a display of a computing system for visualization by the customer service representative.

  • Patent number: 11190572
    Abstract: A system and method for determining and storing website data from high traffic websites in memory during a large event at an event location for access by mobile computing devices through an event application is disclosed. The method may include determining, by a local server system at the event location, high traffic websites from the detected plurality of websites accessed by the users through the mobile computing devices at the event location. The method may also include allowing a user to select a website and retrieve website data for the selected website from the memory of the local server system when the selected website is a high traffic website by converting a uniform resource locator of the website managed by a service provider to a local uniform resource locator pointing to a storage location of website data stored in the local server system.

  • Patent number: 11146679
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an interactive voice response dialogue by using a cloud computing system coupled to a mobile computing device. The cloud computing system may receive a request from a mobile computing device to initiate communication with an interactive voice response system having a tree structure including audio files in the cloud computing system. An interactive voice response dialogue may be conducted using the cloud computing system when the mobile computing device does not have the capacity to receive the one or more files. When the mobile computing device does have the capacity to receive the one or more files, one or more files may be transmitted from the cloud computing system to the mobile computing device, so that he mobile computing device may conduct the interactive voice response dialogue.

  • Patent number: 11122137
    Abstract: A system and method for determining and storing website data from one or more high traffic websites in a cache using a router during an event at an event location for access by mobile computing devices is disclosed. The method may include determining one or more high traffic websites from the plurality of websites accessed by the users through the mobile computing devices at the event location, storing the website data from the one or more high traffic websites in the cache, and directing the mobile computing devices at the event location to access the website data from the cache instead of from the one or more high traffic websites to reduce a load on one or more base stations of the cellular network configured to communicate with the one or more high traffic websites.

  • Patent number: 11019211
    Abstract: Machine learning technology can analyze in real-time the data from a call between a person and a customer service representative. Based on this analysis, a server can determine a sentiment score that describes a sentiment expressed by the person or the customer service representative. If the server determines that the sentiment score is less than or equal to a pre-determined value, the server can inform the customer service representative's manager so that the manager can take further action to help the person and/or the customer service representative.
