A method of forming unique, private, personal, virtual social networks on a social network system that includes a database storing data relating to corresponding user entities. The method includes: a first user entity sending an invitation to a second user entity, recording in the database the second user entity as a direct contact of the first user entity and determining that third user entities, directly connected to the second user entity, are indirect contacts. A unique, personal, social network formed from direct and indirect contacts is thereby created for each user entity. Each user entity is able to control privacy of its data with respect to other user entities depending on the connection factor to that other entity and/or that other entity's attributes. Each user entity is able to take the role of provider or participant in applications where the provider provides an item or service to the participant.

Working from home is becoming more and more commonplace. Ensuring that remote workers are following prescribed data protection measures becomes more important, and challenging. Safe and Secure Remote Working Environment (SSRWE) monitors an environment and determines if a non-compliant element is present. For example, a condition of working from home may be that no notetaking or electronic devices, especially ones comprising a camera, be visible to a system camera capturing the field of view in front of a display. If a non-compliant situation is discovered, the display may be redacted and/or other action taken to protect sensitive information.

The invention relates to systems/methods that enable real-time monitoring/processing of contact center communications to provide timely, actionable analytic insights and real-time critical call alerts, while simultaneously providing best-in-class protection of sensitive customer information.

Embodiments for automatically distributing phone call recordings to interested parties generally include associating one or more forwarding criteria with each of one or more interested parties, establishing a phone call from a calling party to a destination number through an institutional phone system, recording the phone call, and, if the phone call satisfies one or more forwarding criteria associated with one or more interested parties, automatically distributing the recording of the phone call to the at least one interested party associated with the satisfied one or more forwarding criteria. Distribution may be by e-mail, by uploading the recording to a website that interested parties (and preferably only interested parties) can access, by queuing the recordings for export to physical media, and/or through a voice mail system. Calls may be selected for distribution based on the caller, the called party, conversation content, call time, or any other suitable criteria.

Techniques for providing a real-time service that protects personal data of clients from customer service agents are provided. Customer data that includes personal data indicative of sensitive information of a customer can be received from the customer. The personal data within the received customer data can be detected and a token that does not include the sensitive information of the customer can be generated. The personal data and the generated token can be stored along with data indicating a relationship between the token and the personal data. The personal data in the received customer data can be replaced by the token to form modified customer data. The modified customer data can be provided to a customer service representative. The token within the modified customer data can later be detected and associated with the personal data without revealing the personal data to the customer service representative.

A system comprises an applications server configured to communicatively couple to a softswitch, a resource server, and a database. The applications server is configured to receive, from the softswitch, an indication that a call from a calling party directed to a called number was received and determine, in response to the indication that the call was received, whether to route the call to an available agent or to a speech-enabled intelligent script associated with one of the called number or the calling party. The applications server is configured to instruct the softswitch to route the call to the speech-enabled intelligent script in response to a determination to route the call to the speech-enabled intelligent script. The applications server is configured to instruct the softswitch to route the call to the available agent in response to a determination to route the call to the available agent.

Generation and/or utilization of particular data structure(s) in more efficiently storing, retrieving, and/or presenting personal entry(s) is described herein. Implementations can utilize the data structure(s) in more efficiently responding to a vague user request that specifies a particular type of personal entry, but lacks any additional features of the personal entry(s) sought. Utilization of the data structure(s) can enable responsive personal entry(s) to be efficiently identified (e.g., processor and/or memory efficiency and/or with reduced latency). For example, some implementations can enable selection of a subgroup of personal entries to provide responsive to the vague request, without necessitating any processing of personal entries, that are not included in the selected subgroup, be performed responsive to the request. As another example, some implementations can additionally or alternatively obviate the need to perform any ranking of the available personal entries of the subgroup on the fly responsive to the request.

Example implementations relate to generating content based on policy permissions. For example, a non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions executable by a processor to detect a plurality of audio profiles based on audio signals received, separate the plurality of audio profiles, determine when an audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles corresponds to a policy permission; and generate content for the audio profile based on the policy permission.

A device may receive voice call data indicating that a voice call has been initiated between a first device and an interactive voice response device. The device may obtain, based on the voice call data, a user account identifier identifying a user account and obtain, based on the user account identifier, user account data including user authentication data. The device may receive user input provided by the first device during the voice call and determine, based on the user authentication data, that the user input fails to authenticate a user associated with the user account. The device may receive data indicating that the voice call has terminated and identify, based on the user input failing to authenticate the user, a second device. The device may perform an action based on the second device and the voice call data.
