Automated routing of voice calls using time-based predictive clickstream data
09800727 · 2017-10-24 · ·

Methods and apparatuses are described for automated routing of voice calls using time-based predictive clickstream data. A server captures clickstream data comprising uniform resource locators (URLs) and one or more timestamps of a web session. The server converts the clickstream data into tokens and generates a frequency matrix based upon the tokens. The server generates a feature vector based upon the frequency matrix. The server receives an incoming voice call from a remote device and identifies that the remote device is associated with a user of the client computing device. The server determines intent for the incoming voice call based upon the feature vector, and routes the incoming voice call to a destination device based upon the determined intent.

Matching using agent/caller sensitivity to performance
11258907 · 2022-02-22 · ·

A method, system and program product, the method comprising: obtaining for each call in one set of calls a respective pattern representing multiple different respective data fields; obtaining performance data for the respective patterns of the calls; obtaining performance data for the respective agents; determining agent performance sensitivity to call pattern performance for agents in a set of agents comprising the agent performance data correlated to call performance data for the calls the agent handles; and matching a respective one of the agents from the set of agents to one of the calls based at least in part on the performance data for the respective pattern of the one call and on the agent sensitivity to call performance for the respective one agent of the set of agents.

System and method for secure call routing and queuing
11258903 · 2022-02-22 · ·

An agent queuing system implemented without relying on a private branch exchange. The queuing system can be cloud-based and routes calls to agents, for example, through a first-in/first-out (FIFO) queue. Clients are assigned a unique number that identify one or more queues. When a call is received, a database maintains the unique number that was called and the associated company information is retrieved, along with any queues allocated for their company. A call is placed to the next available agent from the selected queue. A recording is played to the agent identifying the queue the call is arriving from and the agent is prompted to accept the call. If the call is accepted, the agent is taken out of the available agent pool for the duration of the call. The call can be routed without exposing the phone numbers of the caller or agent involved in the call.

Call transfer using session initiation protocol (SIP)

A system is provided for providing communication event routing and transfer capability in a multi-site communication-center environment. The system utilizes a presence protocol application and a routing application for determining availability of an agent or system and for setting up the transfer from a point of transfer on a network to a destination of transfer on the same or connected network. In a preferred use the presence protocol application is shared by communication-center sites cooperating in the transfer and routing of events and the presence protocol enables at least one event-handling process normally performed by the routing application.

System for routing interactions using bio-performance attributes of persons as dynamic input

A system for routing an interaction has a queue for staging the interaction, a router running a routing strategy for routing the interaction, and a number of object models maintained for a number of agents, the object models defining one or more agent skills, the values of the object models dynamically affected by real-time bio-metrics of the agents obtained through ongoing monitoring of voice and input actions of the agents. The routing strategy routes the interaction based on comparison of the dynamically-affected skill values of the agents, as evidenced in the object models.

System and method of real-time wiki knowledge resources
11258906 · 2022-02-22 · ·

A system and method are disclosed for recommending a resource to a customer service representative that includes one or more databases that store data describing electronic communication between one or more customer system communication devices and one or more service center communication devices. Embodiments further include a computer coupled with one or more databases and configured to monitor communication activity to determine whether a customer service ticket has been opened between one or more customer system communication devices and one or more service center communication devices and determine a customer service representative score based on one or more customer service representative ranking factors.

Establishment of communication between devices

A computer-implemented method to establish communication between devices is provided. The method may include obtaining a request for a communication session at a communication system from a first device. The request may include an identifier associated with the first device. The method may further include obtaining data associated with a user associated with the first device based on the identifier in the request. The data may include: a medical condition of the user and a location of the user. In response to obtaining the request, the method may include selecting a second device of multiple second devices associated with the communication system to participate in the communication session. The second device may be selected based on the medical condition of the user and a location of the user. The method also include establishing, by the communication system, the communication session with the selected second device.

System and method for analysis of interactions with a customer service center

A system and method for analysis of interactions with a customer service center, comprising receiving a plurality of customer service interactions, receiving a word cloud computed for the plurality of customer service interactions, consolidating similar or synonymous words into word sets, constructing a weighted graph of the word sets, generating a query for the interaction topic based on a corresponding subset of word sets, selecting at least one representative interaction from the retrieved customer service interactions, and displaying at least a portion of the representative interaction for the selected identified topic.

Techniques for managing communications between devices

Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for managing communications between a user and a third-party such that the confidentiality of the user's contact information is maintained. In some embodiments, the user may indicate interest in establishing contact with a third-party. In response, a service provider computer may obtain the user's contact information and transmit data different from that contact information to the third-party. Later, when the third-party wishes to establish contact, it may provide the data to the service provider computer. If the data received matches the data provided previously, the service provider computer may establish a communications channel between the user and the third-party. Establishing the communications channel may include forwarding a telephone call, merging multiple telephone calls, forwarding an email, or the like. Utilizing the techniques discussed herein, the confidentiality of the user's contact information may be maintained.
