Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual supervisor-led performance analysis with an automated memory neural network system that processes call recordings. The neural network automatically extracts performance metrics, generates summaries, and evaluates agent performance against predefined criteria, eliminating the need for human supervisors to manually review each interaction while achieving comprehensive analysis of all calls.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified representation of each call interaction through conversation summaries generated by the memory neural network. These summaries capture essential performance information without requiring analysis of the complete original recordings, allowing comprehensive evaluation of all interactions while reducing processing resources needed for each individual analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of time

If traditional supervisor-led agent performance analysis is used, then evaluation subjectivity is reduced, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automated performance evaluation using a memory neural network that processes call recordings and generates performance assessments without human intervention. The system automatically compares agent performance against predefined criteria, generates summaries, and identifies performance categories, completely replacing the manual supervisor-led evaluation process and eliminating time consumption associated with human review.

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

3Reliability

If comprehensive analysis of all interactions is performed, then evaluation reliability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex task of comprehensive performance analysis into manageable segments through the memory neural network architecture. The system processes calls individually, generates discrete conversation summaries for each, evaluates them against predefined performance criteria, and aggregates results. This segmentation allows reliable analysis of all interactions while keeping each processing unit simple and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms complex call recordings into simplified performance parameters through the memory neural network. By converting raw audio data into structured conversation summaries with extracted performance metrics, the system reduces complexity while maintaining comprehensive analysis capability. The predefined performance categories and scoring thresholds provide clear, objective criteria that simplify the evaluation process while ensuring reliable results.

Inventive Principle:

4Quantity of substance

If sampling of interactions is used, then resource consumption is reduced, but data representativeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoiddata representativeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a complete copy of all interactions through conversation summaries generated by the memory neural network. Instead of analyzing subsets of calls, the system processes every call recording and generates a summary representation, ensuring that all interactions are represented in the final performance evaluation. This complete copying approach maintains data representativeness while reducing the complexity of processing through summarization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A system for complexity assessments for agent performance analysis using a memory neural network according to an embodiment includes receiving a plurality of call recordings of calls between a contact center agent and one or more users, generating, for each call recording, a respective conversation summary of the call recording, analyzing each respective conversation summary using the memory neural network to determine a respective agent performance category for performance of the agent during the respective call, each respective agent performance category being selected from a plurality of predefined agent performance categories and associated with a respective call score, comparing each respective call score to a predefined threshold value and updating a topics array based on the respective conversation summary in response to determining that the respective call score is below the predefined threshold value, and determining a total performance score for the agent based on each respective call score.
