A system for providing a caption feedback service to a call center agent includes a plurality of TRS providers, a caption feedback system, and a plurality of call centers. The TRS providers provide a transcription service to TRS users during phone calls between the TRS users and peers, and the call centers connect phone calls between customers and call agents. The caption feedback system is connected to the caption feedback agents of the TRS providers and caption feedback clients of the call centers via data networks. If the caption feedback system finds that the TRS user's phone number matches the customer's phone number and the peer's phone number matches the call center's phone number, the caption feedback server connects the TRS provider to the call center via data network to enable transfer of the caption data of the call agent's voice from the TRS provider to the call center.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing enhanced 911 call functionalities. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a 911 call request from a caller using a calling device associated with an originating telephone number (“TN”), a computing system may determine whether a user profile associated with the caller and/or the originating TN contains registered third parties on a 911 call notification list. Based on a determination that the user profile contains at least one registered third party on the 911 call notification list associated with the caller and/or the originating TN, the computing system may send a message to each of the at least one registered third party indicating that the caller has called 911, and/or may establish a listen-in only bridged connection, a full bridge connection, or a shared communication to the 911 call for each registered third party.

A method and apparatus for providing assistance to customers seeking assistance from agents of an enterprise is disclosed. The method includes receiving a signal indicating the caller's wish to speak with a live agent associated with the enterprise to seek the assistance from the live agent. In response to a receipt of the signal, it is determined whether at least one live agent from among a plurality of live agents associated with the enterprise is available for a voice interaction with the caller. Subsequent to determining that no live agent from among the plurality of live agents is currently available for the voice interaction with the caller, the caller is diverted to an asynchronous messaging channel. A textual messaging-based interaction is facilitated between a messaging agent and the caller on the asynchronous messaging channel to provide the assistance to the caller.

An agent control device configured to execute a plurality of agents and including a processor, the processor being configured to store an interruptibility list that stipulates interruptibility of execution for each function of one given agent being executed or for an execution status of the one given agent; request execution of each of the agents at a prescribed trigger, or request execution of another given agent at a specific trigger, reference the interruptibility list in order to set permissibility information relating to executability of the other given agent in conjunction with execution of the one given agent; and perform management such that, in a case in which there is a request at the specific trigger for execution of the other given agent while the one given agent is executing, the other given agent is executed based on the request.

A method for identifying a fraudulent phone number is provided. The method includes receiving a user report dataset indicating fraudulent activity corresponding to a phone number, and responsive to receiving the user report dataset, identifying a record in a database corresponding to the phone number. The method further includes tagging the record to identify the phone number as being associated with fraudulent activity.

A method for predicting fraudulent call activity is provided. The method includes receiving one or more datasets indicating call activity corresponding to a phone number, and analyzing the one or more datasets to identify unusual call activity. The method further includes generating a fraud prediction, based at least in part on the identified unusual call activity, that the phone number will be used for fraud.

A computerized-method for determining an agent-proficiency when addressing concurrent customer sessions via one or more channel types and utilization thereof is provided herein. The computerized-method includes operating a Concurrent-Sessions-Handling-Agent-Proficiency (CSHAP) module. The CSHAP-module includes: (a) operating an interactions-module to retrieve one or more interactions and metadata thereof of the agent; (b) for each interaction, determining if the interaction has been handled with concurrent interactions; (c) for each determined interaction as handled with concurrent interactions, checking in the metadata if the interaction has one or more defocused-events; (d) calculating a CSHAP-score for the agent based on one or more attributes from the metadata of the interaction to provide an indication as to an ability of the agent to address concurrent customer sessions; (e) storing the calculated CSHAP-score in a data-store; and (f) sending the CSHAP-score to one or more applications, to take one or more follow-up actions based on the CSHAP-score.

A system, method, and computer program product to accurately route a call is disclosed, by providing a resource interface having one or more interface elements mapping a resource to a call based on current calls and predicted calls, determining a dynamic handling profile from a plurality of dynamic handling profiles that include call information which maps to a resource to provide a ruleset for handling one or more types of call requests, identifying a routing rule comprising one or more routing rules of the ruleset based on caller information, receiving an activation of a resource interface element of the resource interface to initiate a call routing request to forward an assigned call to the resource, and controlling the call routing request according to the routing rule of the dynamic handling profile to perform a call function associated with the assigned call.

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for determining an engagement level for a customer-agent interaction (e.g., a phone call, text chat, etc.), and the engagement level can be used to evaluate the performance of the agent. For example, the engagement level can be used to determine or adjust a skill level of the agent, a performance of the communication channel that facilitates the interaction, and/or an optimal workload of the agent. According to some embodiments, the engagement level is used to determine that the agent may be experiencing difficulty satisfying a customer inquiry such that the agent should be assigned resources or assistance.
