Abstract:
According to one embodiment, the grouping and arrangement of sound sources within a three-dimensional sound space can be based on attributes of the sound source. The content presented in the three-dimensional sound space can comprise social media content. According to another embodiment, the content can comprise voicemail messages and the three-dimensional sound space can be used for managing and retrieving the voicemails messages. In yet another embodiment, the content can comprise communications in a contact center between a customer or other caller and a customer support agent. According to a further embodiment, the three-dimensional sound space or an environment in which the three-dimensional sound space is implemented can provide an opportunity for the user or listener to initiate a follow-on communication with the originator of the sound source such as a social media post or other social media communication, a voice call, or other message or communication.
Abstract:
An apparatus and methods are disclosed for enabling a telecommunications terminal to notify its user of the arrival of a message via an acoustic or visual signal whose properties are based on attributes of the message. A network infrastructure element (e.g., a switch, a private branch exchange [PBX], a server, etc.) receives a message directed to a terminal and sets the values of ringtone properties (e.g., tempo, volume, pitch, rhythm, etc.) based on attributes of an incoming message (e.g., the sender, a priority, a subject, the location from which the message was sent, etc.). In a first illustrative embodiment the network infrastructure element sends the message and the instantiated ringtone to the terminal, while in a second illustrative embodiment the network infrastructure element sends the message and the property values to the terminal, and the terminal plays a locally-stored ringtone in accordance with the property values.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating an immersive three-dimensional sound space for searching audio. The system generates a three-dimensional sound space having a plurality of sound sources playing at a same time, wherein each of the plurality of sound sources is assigned a respective location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to one another, and wherein a user is assigned a current location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to each respective location. Next, the system receives input from the user to navigate to a new location in the three-dimensional sound space. Based on the input, the system then changes each respective location of the plurality of sound sources relative to the new location in the three-dimensional sound space.
Abstract:
An event selection system for computing user migration pattern across social network pages is provided. The event selection system includes a monitor module to monitor predetermined activities of social media users on preconfigured resources. The event selection system further includes a profile module to build a social media user profile based on the monitored activities of the social media users. The event selection system further includes a computing module to compute user migration patterns based on the social media user profiles. The event selection system further includes a display module to display the user migration patterns on a system user terminal. The event selection system further includes a reporting module configured to produce a report based on the monitored social media user activities.

Abstract:
An advertisement brokering system for social media-aware advertisement brokering is provided. The advertisement brokering system includes a processor and a memory, wherein the memory comprises a rules database and plurality of modules. The memory further comprises a data mining module for mining data from predetermined resources based upon predefined characteristics and behavioral traits of users. The memory further comprises an analysis module for identifying users based on match of the mined data with the predefined characteristics and/or behavioral traits. The memory further comprises a brokering module for offering advertising services to the identified users. The memory further comprises a feedback module for notifying an advertiser corresponding to change in behavioral activities of the identified users after offering advertising services. The memory further comprises a calibration module for calibrating advertising services based on change noticed in behavioral activities of the identified users.
Abstract:
System and method to manage an electronic conference hosted by a conference server coupled to a processor and a memory, the method including: receiving, by a communication interface of the conference server, a request from a user to participate in an electronic conference; determining, by the processor, resources needed by the user and resources needed by the electronic conference; determining resource contentions among resources needed by the user and resources needed by the electronic conference; collecting contextual information related to at least one of the user and resources needed by the electronic conference; and resolving, by the processor, contentions among resources needed by the user and resources needed by the electronic conference.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, audio and non-audio data can be represented as sound sources in a three-dimensional sound space adapted to also provide visual data. Non-audio data can be associated with audio sound sources presented in the sound space. Navigation within this combined three-dimensional audio/visual space can be based primarily on the audio aspects of the sound sources with the details of the non-audio data being presented on demand, for example, when the listener navigates through the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space to a particular sound source at which point the non-audio data associated with that sound source can be presented.
