    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently allocating ports and bandwidth in a communication system configured to establish interactive, real time communication sessions between endpoints are described. Requests are received at a server, from a requester endpoint device, to initiate an interactive, real time communication voice and/or video session requiring access to an interactive session resource. In an embodiment, the communication system is a contact center and the interactive session resource is an available contact center agent. Pending availability of the interactive session resource, a requester is assigned a place in a queue or otherwise scheduled to receive access to the interactive session resource. In the meantime, a data channel is established between the server and the requester's endpoint device. Resources, which can include an executable program and/or information operative to enable the endpoint device to emulate an active on-hold voice connection period, are downloaded to the endpoint device.

    Abstract: Techniques for aiding an email recipient in the management of inbound email by detecting, and configurably responding to, dynamically variable patterns of activity and behavior are described. Characteristics are extracted from new email messages originated by senders and intended for a recipient. One or more patterns of sender activity, recipient message management behavior, and/or message response behavior, relating to treatment of messages from individual senders and/or plural senders in the aggregate, are identified. The patterns are identified by analyzing statistics collected by the extraction of characteristics from email messages previously received by the recipient. Before the recipient reads a new email, a determination is made as to whether any deviation from an identified pattern exists; and, if so, a pre-existing rule for treatment of the new message is enforced and/or a new rule specifying treatment of at least some messages from the sender of the email is proposed.

    Abstract: A contact center is operated by reference to response time statistics and social media analytics. A method for identifying a user population's sensitivity to response time delay comprises monitoring social network messaging activity to identify user messages associated with the user population. In some embodiments, the activity relates to at least one of an entity or a product or service associated with the entity. The user population may be selected on the basis of a socio-demographic characteristic or on the basis of observable social networking behavior and/or sentiment over a prior selection phase. The method further includes selecting a loyalty transition boundary identified by detecting a difference in aggregate sentiment between a first group of users receiving a response delayed by a first time period and a second group of users receiving a response delayed by a second time period greater than the first time period.

    Abstract: Questions are received for a conference call. The questions are submitted electronically, such as by email or Instant Messaging (IM). The questions can be submitted before and/or during the conference call. The questions are clustered into one or more similar categories. The clustered questions are sent to participants of a conference. For example, the questions can be sent to a presenter of the conference call as an agenda to follow for a question and answer section of the conference call. Likewise, the questions may also be sent to the conference participants as an agenda of the question and answer section of the conference call. The presenter can discuss the questions with the conference participants based on the categorization of the submitted questions.

    Abstract: A contact center is operated, on behalf of an entity, by reference to social media analytics. A user profile, acquired for each of a plurality of social media users, identifies the user and includes at least one of three indications of sentiment derived over time through analysis of social media event activities and/or behavior. The sentiment indications of a profile include user sentiment toward the entity, user sentiment toward one or more competitor(s) of the entity, and/or user sentiment toward a particular product or service offered by the entity or a competitor(s) of the entity. A communication session is established between a communication terminal of a contact center agent and one of the users for whom a user profile is stored. A menu including at least one option for addressing or capitalizing on a change of sentiment reflected in the user's profile is displayed to the agent.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically responding to requests for information, derived from one or more data sources, relating to at least one event participant. A notification of a scheduled event is received at a server. The notification identities a plurality of individuals invited to attend or participate in an event. Data attributes relating to the event participants are retrieved from one or more data sources and stored. The data attributes can include personal attributes, professional attributes, and social interaction attributes. Before, during or after an event, requests are received and processed to provide event participants and other interested parties access to contextual information relating event participants to one another, the identities of event participants possessing one or more attributes, and lists of attributes for one or more known event participants. The requests can include images and sound recordings captured during the event.
