Abstract:
A system for routing electronic mails to one of a plurality of support persons in a processing center is disclosed. Each person has a skill set that is suitable for responding to a certain type of e-mails. The system comprises an e-mail server for receiving the e-mail from a sender, an information extractor for extracting relevant information from the e-mail, and a router for routing the e-mail. The system contains a database for storing information related to all persons who can answer e-mails. The system also contains a server for storing the history of all activities in the system. The router can make routing decisions based on the information stored in the database and the server.
Abstract:
Automatically reducing communication bandwidth to coincide with the state of a communication call by a communication terminal. If a first telecommunication terminal puts a second telecommunication terminal on hold, the first telecommunication terminal transmits a transport message that reduces the bandwidth of the call to a low speed data link. When the first telecommunication terminal wishes to again be in communication with the second telecommunication terminal, a transport message is utilized to restore the communication bandwidth. If a first communication terminal calls a second communication terminal and the second communication terminal is busy, the first communication terminal reduces the bandwidth of the communication call to that of a low speed data link. When the second telecommunication terminal becomes idle, the second terminal sends a message to the first terminal indicating the idle state. The first telecommunication terminal then uses a transport message to increase the communication bandwidth to the desired amount and engages the second communication terminal in a communication call.
Abstract:
A video conversation/monitoring system, having a remote monitoring function and a remote peripheral device control function in addition to a video-phonic conversation function, includes a center station linked to multiple end stations through an ISDN network. The center station includes a video conversation/monitoring unit, a conversation camera, a monitor screen, a conversation microphone, a conversation speaker, a system controller, a facsimile, and an ISDN line terminating unit. Each end station includes a video conversation/monitoring unit, a system controller, a monitoring camera, a conversation camera, a conversation microphone, a conversation speaker, a sending key set for making calls, a first notification device, a second notification device, a detection device, a facsimile, and an ISDN line terminating unit. Based on the remote monitoring function of the monitoring camera and the remote control function of the system controller for switching between the monitoring camera and the conversation camera, various guidance services are provided in addition to the video-phonic conversation service. Further, the system may be incorporated within an integrated unit which can easily be installed on a desk-top. The ability of the end stations to be adapted to include various state detection devices allows the system to perform image-based and state monitoring in addition to its conversation function.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a request to a network entity to establish a voice communication session with another UE that may be subscribed to a video service. The UE may transmit an indication of a video streaming parameter for the video service for streaming one-way video transmissions from the network entity to the UE for display during establishment of the voice communication session. The UE may transmit an indication of an updated video streaming parameter to the network entity to reduce the video quality for the video service. The network entity may reduce the video streaming quality for the one or more one-way video transmissions to the UE based on the updated video streaming parameter.
Abstract:
A computer implemented system includes an audio/video visitation services computer system and a database having registered inmate and visitor data. A computer device is accessible to a registered inmate and is configured to accept a selection of a registered visitor for an inmate-initiated electronic visitation session to be conducted through the audio/video visitation services computer system at the convenience of the uniquely identified registered inmate and the selected registered visitor without pre-scheduling and without any other human intervention. The system is configured to notify the selected registered visitor and automatically establish the visitation session if the selected registered visitor accepts.
Abstract:
Video conferencing in a controlled environment facility entails significant security concerns. These concerns are even more prevalent in a system that permits residents of such facilities to communicate via their own personal devices. Therefore, in order to alleviate these concerns and provide a secure system in which a resident is able to make video calls using their personal device, a kiosk unit is provided to which the personal device must be linked for completing a video call. When making the video call, the camera and display on the personal device are disabled, and all video data is captured and displayed by the kiosk unit. The link between the kiosk unit and the personal device facilitates the exchange of the image information for transmission to the outside party, or display to the user. By providing a fixed camera, and disabling the personal device camera, security can be maintained while permitting video calling services.
Abstract:
A media providing server and a method and computer program for providing call waiting content with respect to ARS order calls for a broadcast product provide call waiting content with respect to ARS order calls for the broadcast product and provide order content to enable a product to be ordered according to one of order methods except for an ARS order method.
Abstract:
Techniques for conducting a support session and determine suitable instructions for resolving a certain technical mal-function in a device/equipment of a user. Imagery data associated the technical mal-function is received from a user's device and used for determining at least one improperly setup property associated with the mal-function in the mal-functioning device/equipment based on a comparison of the received imagery data with reference data. Instructions comprising augmented imagery for resolving the mal-function can be then generated, or fetched form a database, based on the determined at least one improperly setup property. A new database record can be generated comprising the augmented imagery data for use in future support sessions associated with the mal-function.

Abstract:
Technologies for monitoring interactions between customers and agents include an interaction management computing device communicatively coupling a customer computing device and an agent computing device to facilitate a support call interaction. The interaction management computing device is configured to receive a video call from a customer and perform a facial recognition analysis of the customer based on images of the customer received with the video call. Additionally, the interaction management computing device is configured to determine a probable emotional state of the customer as a function of the facial recognition analysis of the customer and insert the video call into a service queue as a function of the probable emotional state of the customer. Additional embodiments are described herein.
