A cloud-based video/audio conferencing system and method performs locale based aggregation of a full duplex media stream to organize multiple connections to a conference call that originate from the same physical location or a shared locale. The cloud-based video/audio conferencing system performs synchronization of the microphone and speaker audio signals of the same-locale connections. In this manner, a conference call may be held with multiple user devices making connections from the same physical location. User experience is enhanced by allowing each user in the same location to use his/her own individual devices to connect to the same conference call.

The present disclosure describes an autonomous mechanism for seamlessly coordinating timing of subscriber devices in a service provider system based on the subscriber devices' physical geographic locations. The service provider system dynamically calibrates local times for subscriber devices in geographic locations around in the world without requiring additional local infrastructure. This calibration allows the subscriber devices to receive customized services specifically tailored to their physical geographic locations from the service provider system. Moreover, this autonomous mechanism allows the subscriber devices to be quickly re-purposed to different physical geographic locations without the need to manually configure each individual subscriber device prior to relocation.

Managing redundant multi-channel interactions in a contact center includes determining that the contact center has received a first contact and a second contact via respective channels, the second contact being received while the first contact is on-going. Managing also includes identifying that the first contact and the second contact are redundant or relate to an unknown topic and inquiring of the customer as to whether to proceed with either one or both of the first contact or the second contact. Furthermore, continuing with at least one of the first contact or the second contact is performed based on the response, each of the first contact and the second contact associated with a respective wait queue. Then one or both of the contacts can be assigned to an agent.

The present invention relates to acquisition of user information by an electronic device, and comprises a communication module, a display, a processor, and a memory. The communication module and the display according to various embodiments are electrically connected to the processor. The processor is electrically connected to the memory. The memory causes the processor to: receive media information which does not include utterer information, perform signaling for acquisition of utterer information related to the media information, and determine and display the utterer information. Various other embodiments are possible.

A computerized-method for maximizing capacity of an agent in a contact center by omni session handling is provided herein. The computerized-method may retrieve one or more interactions from a Customer Relations Management (CRM) database based on a requirement for an outreach to be stored in a queue of proactive contacts. The computer-implemented method may further allocate a queue of one or more interactions out of the retrieved one or more interactions to an agent or to a team of agents and then present the agent or an agent in the team of agents with a digital preview of an interaction from the queue of one or more interactions for consideration via a display unit, while the agent is handling one or more interactions. The computer-implemented method may further receive from the agent a decision upon review of the presented digital preview of the interaction.

A system comprising a call center, contact system test engine, plurality of networks, at least one remote server, at least one remote database, which allows users to automate call center testing and combine synchronized results for agent-customer calls (AX-CX test synchronization). The system is further accomplished with methods, using different techniques for synchronizing the testing for both customer and agent results, and producing these test results in a mobile dashboard and web-accessible dashboard.

Systems and methods are provided for managing a conference call with multiple voice-enabled and voice-capturing devices, such as smart speakers. Reproduced, duplicate voice commands can cause unexpected results in a conference call. The voice commands can be determined to be received from the same conference call. A voice command for a particular voice-enabled device can be selected based on an energy level of an audio signal, event data, time data, and/or user identification.

Provided are methods, apparatuses and a system for synchronizing call media and content. In a process of playing call media to a user and displaying content associated with the call media, a terminal acquires new call media from a call media server and acquires, after querying a synchronization server for content information corresponding to the new call media, content associated with the new call media from a content server, respectively, in response to a user operation. The terminal plays the new call media to the user, and displays the content associated with the new call media simultaneously.

A method and apparatus of sharing documents during a conference call data is disclosed. One example method may include initiating a document sharing operation during a conference call conducted between at least two participants communicating during the conference call. The method may also include transferring the document from one of the two participants to another of the two participants, and recording at least one action performed to the document by the participants during the conference call.

A method is provided for resolving a call collision in a communication network. The method comprises, at a network node of the communication network: receiving a first call request message from a first user device to set up a call from the first user device to a second user device; checking whether the second user device has in turn sent a second call request message to set up a call from the second user device to the first user device; and ein the affirmative, routing the first call request message to a conference bridge.
