Solution Overview

Problem

In large contact centers, identifying and summarizing relevant customer-agent interactions from a vast volume of raw data is challenging, requiring an efficient means to compile and highlight key interactions in a condensed and consumable format to provide valuable insights and save time.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing artificial intelligence to analyze audio, video, and textual interactions, generating a 'highlight reel' that can be customized by criteria such as contact type, customer mood, emotion, or geographical region, with automated execution for sampling and system improvements, and allowing for interactive playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the system processes all communication events to ensure complete analysis, then measurement precision is improved, but processing time and system resources increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis completenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most relevant communication events from the complete dataset by applying multiple filtering criteria (customer mood, contact type, duration, region) to identify and process only the essential samples needed for meaningful analysis, rather than processing all events

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the communication events into distinct categories based on multiple criteria (contact type, customer mood, duration limit, geographical region) and processes each segment separately, allowing efficient sampling of specific subsets rather than handling the entire dataset uniformly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the system analyzes all communication events in detail, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features and events needed for analysis by applying specific criteria filters, reducing the complexity of processing while maintaining measurement precision through targeted analysis of relevant samples

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different processing qualities to different segments of data based on their relevance, focusing computational resources on high-value events that meet specific criteria while using lighter processing for less important events

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of information

If the system provides detailed interaction data, then information completeness is improved, but ease of operation decreases due to data overload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata consumption ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most relevant information from complete interaction data by filtering based on user-defined criteria, presenting condensed samples that maintain essential insights while reducing data overload and improving ease of consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments detailed interaction data into manageable samples based on multiple criteria, organizing information into digestible portions that preserve completeness of key insights while improving operational ease through reduced data volume

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Communication events often produce a significant volume and variety of data. While such data is often useful as a teaching or configuration tool or as a source of troubleshooting information, such information often results in “information overload.” By providing a “highlight reel,” communication data comprising only relevant information, which may be further limited to a specific number of duration of events, allows for key data to be identified for presentation and avoid the need to further process, store, or otherwise maintain irrelevant or less relevant data.
