Solution Overview

Problem

Existing customer-agent interaction recording systems fail to provide actionable insights, are limited to voice channels, lack compliance and governance features, and struggle with redacting sensitive information, making it difficult for contact centers to improve customer experiences.

Innovation Solution

A CRM-based system that records and analyzes customer-agent interactions, using AI to automatically detect scenarios for recording start/stop, redacts sensitive information, and generates actionable analytics, including smart screen metadata and timeline snippets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If screenshot-based agent activity tracking is used to record customer-agent interactions, then recording capability is provided, but actionable insights and analysis capabilities are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactionable insightsVSAvoidanalysis capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces AI/ML models as intermediary components that process raw recording data and transform it into actionable insights. These models act as mediators between the simple recording function and the complex analysis requirements, automatically detecting scenarios, generating summaries, and identifying key events without requiring manual analysis of screenshots.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual analysis of screenshot-based recordings with automated AI/ML-based analysis systems. Instead of human reviewers manually examining screenshots to extract insights, the system uses machine learning models to automatically perform scenario detection, summary generation, and event identification, substituting mechanical human effort with automated intelligent processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If voice channel recording is used, then simple implementation is achieved, but multi-channel support (email, chat) is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-channel supportVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal recording system that handles multiple communication channels (voice, email, chat) through a single unified architecture. The AI/ML-based analysis engine processes different channel types using the same core mechanisms, making the system multi-functional and adaptable to various interaction types without requiring separate specialized systems for each channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a dynamic system that can adapt to different communication channels through configurable parameters and flexible data processing pipelines. The recording and analysis mechanisms are designed to dynamically adjust based on the input channel type, allowing the same core system to handle diverse interaction formats through parameterized configurations rather than hard-coded channel-specific logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If comprehensive recording is performed without redaction, then complete data is captured, but compliance and governance requirements are violated

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecomplianceVSAvoidsensitive information removal
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary redaction by training AI/ML models to automatically identify and redact sensitive information (PII, PCI) during the analysis phase before data is stored or shared. This preliminary action ensures compliance requirements are met proactively, removing sensitive data before it can cause compliance violations, while still maintaining the ability to analyze interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies selective redaction that preserves non-sensitive information while removing only sensitive portions. The AI/ML models identify specific regions or segments of the recording containing sensitive data and apply redaction locally to those areas, maintaining the quality and analyzability of non-sensitive portions while ensuring compliance through targeted removal of sensitive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Productivity

If manual review of recordings is used, then detailed analysis is possible, but time consumption and inefficiency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis efficiencyVSAvoidreview time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service analysis where AI/ML models automatically perform scenario detection, summary generation, and event identification without requiring manual reviewer intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously processing recordings and generating actionable insights, eliminating the time-consuming manual review process while maintaining high analysis quality through intelligent automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the AI/ML models continuously learn from analyzed data and improve their detection accuracy over time. The system uses feedback from recorded interactions to refine its scenario detection and summary generation capabilities, progressively reducing the need for manual review while increasing analysis efficiency and accuracy through iterative learning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Automatic analyses of customer-agent interactions provide valuable, actionable feedback for managers, agents, and customers. To provide such analyses, methods for recording and analysis of customer-agent interactions using a customer relationship management (CRM) system are disclosed. A recorder application records the customer-agent interaction, and sensitive information may be identified. Sensitive portions of the recording may then be redacted and removed from the recording. The redacted recording is then analyzed to generate useful summary and analytics information.
