Abstract:
A system for facilitating communication and information exchange as a transaction, includes, a central computing device capable of communicating with a user and a receiver over a communication network, a user device associated with the user configured to transmit a communication request to the central computing device, and, a receiver device associated with the receiver to receive the communication request from the central computing device and transmit information to the user device in response to receiving the communication request. In use, the receiver communicates with the user based on the multiple rates as established by said receiver.
Abstract:
A method has steps for receiving at a call center implemented in a network, a first call from a caller using a first telephony-enabled device, connecting the received first call to an agent in the call center, creating and storing in a data repository at the call center a live call record associating an identity of the caller or a device of the caller with the agent to whom the first call is connected, receiving, while the first call is active, a second call from the same caller using a second telephony-enabled device, querying the data repository and discovering the live call record, routing the second call to the same agent to whom the first call is routed, and terminating the first call, but leaving the live call record in place.
Abstract:
A method and system for pushing web pages to a web client during a video/audio call. The method involves assigning a correlation ID to a web client to which a web page is served. The same correlation ID value is communicated by the web client to a VIVR/context web server computer. The VIVR/context web server computer is arranged to serve at least one web page to the web client. A voice/video call is established between the web client and a contact center agent computer responsive to a request from the web client. As part of initiating such call, the correlation ID is communicated to the contact center agent computer. Thereafter, during the voice/video call, at least one command is generated which causes the VIVR web server to serve at least one web page to the web client using the correlation ID.
Abstract:
A method and system for analyzing electronic communication data is provided. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving electronic customer communication data by a contact center, analyzing the electronic customer communication data by applying a predetermined linguistic-based psychological behavioral model to the electronic customer communication data, and generating behavioral assessment data by the contact center based on said analyzing, the behavioral assessment data providing a personality type for the analyzed electronic customer communication data. In one or more embodiments, electronic customer communication data may be one or more of electronic-mail data, web content data, text message data, voice over IP data, online forum data, social media data, update status, media feed, social media review, social media data stream. In other embodiments, electronic customer communication data may include data received during a customer communication with a graphical user interface for the contact center.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a self-service system is to provide self-support knowledgebase (KB) information to allow users to navigate the self-support KB. A monitor is to track user interaction with the self-support KB while a user navigates through the self-support KB. An answer engine is to receive a query from the user to ask a question and in response to the query, to identify a predefined response to the query in view of a set of dialog rules. The answer engine is to transmit one or more related questions that the user will likely ask based on the dialog rules and the user interaction. The answer engine further transmits an invitation to allow the user to initiate a live support session after a predetermined condition has been satisfied.
