Solution Overview

Problem

Contact centers face limitations in personalizing customer interactions due to using a single voice for all interactions, which affects the overall customer experience.

Innovation Solution

A customer voice pairing (CVP) platform that analyzes a customer's voice to pair them with a digital agent having similar vocal characteristics, using a customer language model (CLM) to enhance interaction personalization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single voice is used for all customer interactions, then operational simplicity is maintained, but customer experience personalization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the voice parameter (vocal characteristics) dynamically based on customer attributes. By analyzing customer voice samples and extracting dimensions like pitch, tone, and speech patterns, the system selects or generates appropriate digital agent voices that match customer preferences, thereby achieving personalization without requiring multiple physical agents

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The voice pairing system is dynamic rather than static. It continuously adapts voice selections based on real-time customer interactions, feedback, and evolving customer profiles. The system can adjust voice characteristics during conversations and learn from interaction outcomes to improve future pairings, enabling adaptability while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated decision-making

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If voice analysis and customer pairing are implemented, then customer experience personalization is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction personalizationVSAvoidconnection setup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs voice analysis and dimension extraction in advance during customer onboarding or initial interactions. Customer voice samples are processed beforehand to establish baseline dimensions and preferences, so that when a connection is needed, the system can quickly retrieve and match pre-analyzed data rather than performing full analysis in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system focuses voice analysis on specific local characteristics (key dimensions like pitch, tone, accent, speech rate) rather than analyzing every aspect of the customer's voice or behavior. By concentrating on the most impactful voice dimensions for pairing decisions, the system achieves effective personalization with reduced processing requirements and faster connection times

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive audio analysis is performed, then matching accuracy is improved, but computational resources consumed increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice dimension detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms comprehensive audio data into a limited set of key voice dimensions (pitch, tone, accent, speech rate, pausing patterns). By converting detailed audio waveforms into essential parametric representations, the system maintains high matching accuracy while significantly reducing the computational burden of processing and comparing voice data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the most relevant voice dimensions needed for effective pairing, separating essential characteristics from redundant audio information. By isolating and processing only the critical dimensions that drive successful matching, the system achieves accurate pairings with minimal computational resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A process for providing support services includes receiving an audio stream from a user device of a user and performing or invoking a voice paring service to perform an audio analysis on the audio stream. The process further includes determining one or more user dimensions about the user based on the audio analysis of the audio stream. The user dimensions include at least certain voice characteristics of the user. The user dimensions are examined to determine whether a first condition has been satisfied. If so, a notification attribute is updated. The notification attributes are periodically examined to determine whether a second condition has been satisfied. If so, an escalation process is invoked, including sending an escalation message to a destination to allow the destination to evaluate potential abnormal dimensions of the user.
