Solution Overview

Problem

Existing interaction monitoring systems in contact centers lack the ability to accurately assess the quality of interactions in real-time, often relying on keyword alerts rather than comprehensive analysis, which can lead to delayed or inadequate supervisor intervention.

Innovation Solution

The system employs real-time monitoring using machine learning models to score text components and time periods of interactions, producing a score history that calculates a real-time indication of interaction quality, allowing for earlier detection of unsatisfactory interactions and timely supervisor intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If keyword-based monitoring is used, then the system complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision of interaction quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidinteraction quality assessment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction text is segmented into multiple time periods, and each time period is scored independently based on text components within it. This segmentation allows comprehensive analysis without requiring complex global analysis of the entire interaction, thus maintaining measurement precision while managing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes text components by scoring them individually before aggregating into time period scores. This preliminary scoring action enables efficient real-time processing and reduces the complexity of final quality assessment while maintaining high measurement precision through cumulative analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive text analysis is performed, then the measurement precision of interaction quality improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction quality assessment accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction is divided into periodic time periods, and scoring is performed periodically for each segment. This periodic approach enables real-time monitoring and early detection of quality issues without requiring analysis of the entire interaction, thus reducing processing time while maintaining measurement precision through cumulative scoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system processes text components autonomously by automatically scoring them and aggregating results without human intervention. This self-service processing reduces manual review time while maintaining high measurement precision through consistent automated evaluation of all text components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If all text components are monitored, then the measurement precision improves, but the quantity of data to be processed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction quality assessment accuracyVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The large volume of text data is segmented into manageable time periods with specific score thresholds. This segmentation reduces the effective data volume that requires detailed processing at any given time while maintaining measurement precision by analyzing all components through cumulative scoring across multiple segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms raw text components into scored numerical values for each time period. This parameter change from qualitative text to quantitative scores reduces data complexity and volume for processing while preserving measurement precision through the scoring mechanism that captures essential quality indicators.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
