Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines an indication of a mood for a caller during a service call. The mood may be determined using a facial analysis of the caller's facial expressions. The mood may indicate an emotion of the user, such as the user is angry, happy, etc. The mood may be determined based on a facial expression analysis of the caller during a portion of the service call. The service call may be a call between the caller and a service center, which may provide customer support to a caller for a product, service, etc. One example of a service center may be video contact service center that enables video calls with a caller. An action is then determined based on analysis of the mood invoked during a portion of the call. Once the action is determined, the action may be performed.

Abstract: A method and system to process communications in an automatic communication distributor is described. The method may comprise receiving a communication and identifying an originating location from which the communication originates. Thereafter, a determination is made when the originating location corresponds to a predefined high priority geographical area and a priority to the communication is assigned based on the originating location. The call may be assigned a higher priority when the originating location corresponds to the high priority geographical area than when the originating location does not correspond with the high priority geographical area. The communication is queued based on the assigned priority. A method is also provided to assign an agent using an automated call distributor based on a distance between the originating location of the communication and the determined geographical locations of the potential respondents.

Abstract: In one embodiment, techniques for sending a conference invite that provides access to a list of participants in an existing conference are provided. A participant in a conference may decide to send an invite for the existing conference to the user. A request for inviting the user into the existing conference is received. A list of participants in the existing conference is determined. An invite message for the conference is then generated where the invite message includes information for the list of participants. The invite message is then sent to the user where the information for the list of participants is accessible to the user. For example, the list of participants may be displayed as caller ID information when the invite message is received by the user.

Abstract: In one embodiment, techniques for manipulating a voice message using a telephone user interface are provided. The telephone user interface receives a mark begin segment command from a telephonic device through a voice modality. The mark begin segment command indicates a beginning point for a voice message segment in the voice message. The telephone user interface then receives a mark end segment command from the telephonic device through the voice modality. The mark segment command indicates an ending point for the voice message segment in the voice message. An action command from the telephonic device is received and an action based on the action command for the voice message segment is performed. The voice message segment is a portion of the voice message determined based on the indicated beginning point of the voice message segment and the indicated ending point of the voice message segment in the voice message.

Abstract: Multiple authors' voices can be used in a text-to-speech (TTS) conversion of an email thread so that each part of the thread is read in that author's voice. A tag is used to identify which text portion corresponds to which author. Voice characteristics can be originated from an author's sending device or can be centrally stored in a voice characteristic database at a unified messaging server and provided to a recipient of the email thread. A similar approach can be used in a single document such as a change-tracked document that is being edited by multiple authors. The different voice characteristics of authors corresponding to different parts of the document can be accessed for TTS conversion so that a person listening on an audio device (e.g., phone, VoIP phone, cell phone, etc.) can identify the author of a specific part without the use of text or other displayed information. Voice characteristics can be centrally stored and delivered to users of audio devices to be used with a variety of text communications.

Abstract translation: 多个作者的声音可以用于电子邮件线程的文本到语音（TTS）转换，以便线程的每个部分都以该作者的声音读取。 标签用于标识哪个文本部分对应于哪个作者。 语音特征可以来自作者的发送设备，或者可以集中地存储在统一消息服务器的语音特征数据库中，并提供给电子邮件线程的接收者。 类似的方法可以在单个文档中使用，例如由多个作者编辑的变更跟踪文档。 可以访问对应于文档不同部分的作者的不同语音特征，以进行TTS转换，以便在音频设备（例如，电话，VoIP电话，手机等）上聆听的人可以识别特定部分的作者 不使用文字或其他显示信息。 语音特征可以集中存储并传递给音频设备的用户，以便与各种文本通信一起使用。
