    Abstract: In order to provide a more realistic system activity score, an activity monitor gathers activity scores from a plurality of processes on one or more communication systems. An activity score defines an activity level of a particular process. For example, how many cache hits per second are occurring in a communication system or how may a HTTP sessions a web server is handling per second. Because the activity scores are gathered from individual processes within the communication system(s), a more realistic understanding of the overall activity of the communication system(s) can be determined. The gathered activity scores are summed to produce a system activity score. The system activity score is then sent to a user. The user can then utilize the system activity score to better manage the communication system(s).

    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing an enterprise class virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) are provided. Aspects of the VDI include providing support for multiple simultaneous virtual private networks (VPNs), video calls, and for operatively connecting to a selected connected device within a personal workspace through a single sign on procedure. A teletype (TTY) function can also be provided using normal or VPN connections. The VDI can comprise or be incorporated into a thin client device, a telephone, a headset, a keyboard, a mouse, or a monitor.

    Abstract: As technology advances, customer-agent interactions require adoption of the new technologies to remain useful to customers and cost effective to contact centers. Virtual reality technology allows a customer to virtually tour a remote location and optionally interact with an agent during the virtual tour. The agent and/or customer may select virtual reality elements, including a recording of the interaction itself, to be triggered upon the customer, with a location enabled customer device, being located in the real-world at a corresponding virtual location in which the virtual reality element was created. The virtual reality element may be automatically presented and the presentation may be a full virtual reality presentation, an augmented reality presentation, or a converted presentation, such as to a more conventional format.

    Abstract: A communication session (e.g., voice or video) is established between a first party and a second party. The communication session is placed on hold or mute by the second party. While the first party is on hold or mute, an event associated with the second party is detected. For example, the second party calls a third party. In response to detecting the event associated with the second party, a progress update message is sent to first party on hold or mute. For example, the progress update message may be a voice message that states the second party (e.g., the contact center agent) is talking to a third party to resolve an issue of the first party. By sending the progress update message, the first party is apprised of the second party's progress in assisting the first party.

    Abstract: Text-based automated customer service agents provide an attractive contact center interaction for may customer-agent communications. However, the “say anything” nature of text may result in additional problems not encountered in prompted interactions. A single misunderstanding or error may cause an automated communication to fail, however, by providing micro-tasks to a human agent, an automated communication may be maintained longer with benefit of a human agent's input. A lack of progress towards completion of a work item may cause the communication to be routed to a human agent and/or a different channel (e.g., voice, email, etc.). Accordingly, a micro-task or an opt-out operation may be provided to maintain the communication with an automated agent for as long as possible but yet provide improved customer service when necessary.
