Abstract:
Systems and methods for creating a private interaction space within an existing multiparty interaction are described, wherein a subset of a plurality of participants in a multiparty interaction can establish a private interaction space in which the subset of the plurality of participants can continue to hear and observe communications in the overall multiparty interaction while communicating privately with other participants in the private interaction space.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for creating a new multiparty interaction among a subset of a plurality of participants in an existing multiparty interaction from within the existing multiparty interaction are described, wherein the new multiparty interaction is established based on authentications, presentation materials, and/or settings of the existing multiparty interaction.
Abstract:
Authorizing deployable resources based on personal information obtained from wearable devices is disclosed. A processor-based controller automatically receives personal information about a deployable resource via a wearable device configured to be worn by the deployable resource. The personal information is based on information determined by the wearable device while the wearable device is being worn by the deployable resource. The controller automatically compares the personal information of the deployable resource to a criterion associated with a task and automatically determines, based on the comparing, whether the deployable resource is permitted to proceed with the task. If the controller determines that the deployable resource is permitted to proceed with the task, the controller permits the deployable resource to proceed with the task.
Abstract:
A network-connected semi-fixed location telephone is disclosed having a network access transceiver configured to provide access to a network for computing devices in communication therewith. The network-connected semi-fixed location telephone also comprises one or more environmental sensors each configured to determine at least one environmental characteristic value that quantifies an environmental characteristic at a location outside the network-connected semi-fixed location telephone. Without limitation, environmental characteristics include temperature, humidity, sound, light, motion, and air quality, The network-connected semi-fixed location telephone further comprises a sensor controller in communication with the at least one environmental sensor. The sensor controller may be separate from the network access transceiver or may be part of the same component. The sensor controller is configured to receive the at least one environmental characteristic value from the at least one environmental sensor, and transmit information based on the at least one environmental characteristic value to a network.
Abstract:
An instant text message conductor is provided. A server device receives an instant text message from a user entity. The instant text message is addressed to a conductor entity. It is determined that a previous instant text message from the user entity was sent to a first potential responder entity. The instant text message is sent to the first potential responder entity. The server device determines that no response to the instant text message will be received from the first potential responder entity within a first period of time. A second potential responder entity is selected from a predetermined set of potential responder entities. The previous instant text message, a first response instant text message sent by the first potential responder entity in response to the previous instant text message, and the current instant text message are sent to the second potential responder entity.
Abstract:
Activity-aware intelligent alerting and delivery of electronic short messages, and related methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are also disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for providing intelligent alerting and delivery of an electronic short message comprises receiving an electronic short message directed to a recipient device of a recipient and originating from a sender device of a sender, and determining an interruption indicator that indicates a recipient activity priority relative to a delivery priority of the electronic short message. The method also comprises automatically generating one or more alerting parameters and one or more delivery parameters based on the interruption indicator, and delivering the electronic short message to the recipient device based on the one or more alerting parameters and the one or more delivery parameters. In this manner, unnecessary interruption of the recipient may be minimized while assuring timely delivery of important electronic short messages.
Abstract:
A contact manager system for generating an agent's script is disclosed. The contact manager system includes a monitoring module configured to determine one or more browsing activities and related context information of at least one customer. The contact manager system further includes a script generation module configured to generate the at least one agent script based on the one or more determined browsing activities. The contact manager system further includes a display module configured to display the at least one agent script to one or more agents. The contact manager system further includes a verification module configured to validate the agent's script.
Abstract:
Scalable Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) media engines, and related methods, systems, and computer-readable media, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for providing a scalable WebRTC media engine comprises instantiating one or more virtual WebRTC agents, each corresponding to one or more of a plurality of WebRTC clients. The method further comprises establishing a plurality of WebRTC interactive flows, each connecting one of the one or more virtual WebRTC agents with the corresponding one or more of the plurality of WebRTC clients. The method also comprises receiving contents of the plurality of WebRTC interactive flows as input from the one or more virtual WebRTC agents, and synthesizing the contents of the plurality of WebRTC interactive flows. The method additionally comprises directing the synthesized contents as output to one of more of the plurality of WebRTC interactive flows via the corresponding one or more virtual WebRTC agents.

Abstract:
A device, system, and method determines a prioritized location for an automated vehicle to move. The method performed at a contact center includes performing a transaction between an electronic device and the contact center, the transaction including at least one correspondence. The method includes determining location data corresponding to the electronic device, the location data being a location of the electronic device. The method includes determining prioritized location data based upon the location data and further related data, the further related data being at least one of an analysis of the at least one correspondence, internal information of the contact center, and external information available to the contact center. The method includes transmitting the prioritized location data to an unmanned, automated vehicle (UAV), the UAV configured to automatically move to a predetermined location based upon the prioritized location data.
