A method of designing an interface system that allows users to map the representation of their task directly to the interface. There are three major phases to the Customer-Centric Approach to Interface Design (C-CAID). End-users' tasks are categorized to determine the frequency of reasons or tasks of why users interact with a particular system. These reasons and their relative frequencies are used to design interface options that emphasize the user's task categories. Finally, the customer-centric interface designs are evaluated and compared with existing system interfaces using usability tests with actual users performing the tasks. The results from usability tests are used to pinpoint the task-option combinations that do not work well and which should be revised. Benefits of this customer-centric design are improved systems performance and increased user satisfaction.

A method of using an entertainment system can allow a plurality of different options to be presented to a user of the entertainment system when an incoming phone call is detected. The user can choose an option, and the entertainment system can be configured to take appropriate action based on the option selected. Such a method allows the user of the entertainment system to make a real-time disposition of the incoming phone call, rather than relying solely on a predetermined set of configurations. In one embodiment, an apparatus and handset can be used in carrying out the method. In another embodiment, a handset for use with the entertainment system can be a remote control that includes telephone control features, or the handset can be used with VoIP connections.

The disclosure is directed to a method of presenting product offers. The method includes receiving a call from a caller. The call has a purpose and call identification information. The method further includes determining a product offer based on the call identification information and directing the call to a call center agent based on the purpose. The call center agent has a skill level associated with the product offer. The method also includes providing an interface to the call center agent, the interface populated based on the skill level.

A method is provided for designing an interface system. The method includes receiving a call from a customer at a call center, and logging a reason the customer is calling the call center. Subsequently, reasons from multiple customers are collected and categorized into task categories to be performed by the interface system. Menu options can then be designed based upon the task categories. The menu options include some of the language the customers used to express the reason for calling the call center. Performance of the interface system is evaluated by using cumulative response time (CRT), which is a total time a user interfaces with the system, and routing accuracy. The routing accuracy accounts for whether the user successfully navigated the interface system to a correct destination, whether the user navigated to an incorrect destination, and whether the user did not navigate to any destination.

A system, method and software are described for facilitating transitions between speech-enabled applications employing action-object matrices. In an exemplary embodiment, an automatic call router determines a service agent destination by identifying an action-object combination included in a user utterance. In addition to forwarding the user to the service agent destination, the automatic call router sends one or more aspects of the user utterance to the service agent for use therewith. The service agent may then use aspects of the forwarded information to request further information from the user or to begin performance of a user desired transaction.

A system and method for customizing commercial web content delivered to a user's web browser. The user's consumer demographic data and preferences are gathered and stored in a database. These preferences are matched to one of a number of stored customer models. The model is then matched to one of a number of web content alternatives, and that web content is used to compose the web site downloaded to the customer's web browser.

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method of delivering message content to a television monitor. The method includes merging a first electronic signal with a second electronic signal. The first electronic signal transmits recorded message content. The second electronic signal includes video content. The method may also include communicating the merged signal to a television monitor. The method can also include displaying the television content and content of the recorded message at the television monitor.
摘要:
A method of identifying and prioritizing automated customer care applications for use in connection with interactive voice response systems is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first set of data produced by a first data-driven evaluation process relating to a call center environment responsive to calls received by the interactive voice response systems; receiving a second set of data produced by a second data-driven evaluation process relating to customer preferences with respect to self-service for each of a set of tasks; and generating a prioritized list of automated customer care applications based on the first set of data and the second set of data.
