Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the system processes communications in real-time to generate transcriptions and analytics, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for dynamic recording parameter establishment and compliance monitoring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time processing speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes recording parameters and identifies recording restrictions before processing communications. By determining compliance requirements and configuring recording settings in advance, the system enables real-time processing without complex dynamic decision-making during communication flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A compliance determination module acts as an intermediary between the communication processing system and recording restrictions. This module interprets recording restrictions, determines compliance status, and configures recording parameters automatically, reducing the complexity burden on the main processing system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system dynamically trains machine learning algorithms using historic recordings and feedback, then measurement precision of user sentiment analysis is improved, but loss of time increases due to continuous training requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

Disclosed embodiments provide a framework for automatically establishing recording parameters according to specified recording restrictions and generating analytics corresponding to communications recorded subject to the recording restrictions. During a communications session between a user and an agent, a system can identify any recording restrictions corresponding to user communications exchanged during the communications session. The system automatically processes, in real-time, communications exchanged during the communications session as these communications are exchanged to identify the user communications and agent communications. The system generates a transcript that includes the agent communications but selectively records and transcribes the user communications according to the recording restrictions. A machine learning algorithm is trained to generate a set of inferences corresponding to a user sentiment based on historic recordings and transcripts of historic communications sessions between users and agents, as well as corresponding feedback. From the set of inferences, the system generates agent analytics.
