Solution Overview

Problem

Current verbal conversation analytics lack integration of Verbal Intelligence (VI), which affects the effectiveness of Call Centers and interpersonal relationships, leading to reduced sales, customer service quality, and increased training and hiring costs due to neurological limitations during conversations.

Innovation Solution

A system that records conversations and analyzes verbal factors such as energy, word count, inflection, tone, and rate using an intelligence device to generate a Verbal Intelligence Index, providing real-time metrics and feedback to users for improved communication through an interface component.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If current verbal conversation analytics are used without Verbal Intelligence integration, then the analytics can be produced, but the effectiveness of Call Centers and customer service is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCall Center effectivenessVSAvoidConversation effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides real-time feedback to callers during conversations by analyzing verbal intelligence metrics such as energy level, word count, inflection, tone, and rate. This feedback mechanism enables callers to adjust their communication style dynamically, improving conversation effectiveness and trust levels while maintaining high productivity in Call Centers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical call tracking and monitoring systems with an intelligent analysis system that measures verbal intelligence factors. This substitution transforms basic mechanical tracking into sophisticated neural-based performance measurement, enabling deeper insights into conversation quality and caller effectiveness.

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

2Productivity

If mechanical solutions like call forwarding and cueing are implemented, then call processes become more efficient, but personal effectiveness of users is not addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCall process efficiencyVSAvoidUser personal effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system complements mechanical efficiency tools with personal effectiveness feedback by providing real-time analysis of verbal intelligence metrics to individual users. This enables callers to improve their personal communication effectiveness while maintaining the efficiency benefits of mechanical solutions like call forwarding and cueing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The analysis system segments conversation data into distinct verbal intelligence factors such as energy, word count, inflection, tone, and rate. This segmentation allows the system to address both process efficiency and personal effectiveness by providing targeted feedback on specific communication dimensions while maintaining overall call process optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If neural responses during conversation are not optimized, then conversations can proceed, but trust levels and sales are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSales volumeVSAvoidTrust level
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The real-time verbal intelligence analysis provides feedback to callers about their neural responses and communication patterns, enabling them to optimize their conversations to build trust and increase sales. The system monitors factors like energy level, tone, and rate that directly impact trust formation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system analyzes and provides feedback on key communication parameters including energy level, word count, inflection, tone, and rate. By optimizing these parameters in real-time, callers can enhance their neural responses and improve trust levels, leading to increased sales and better customer relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Verbal language analysis is provided to users. The user enrolls or subscribes for verbal language analysis or analytics. The user carries out or conducts a conversation with a third party. An intelligence device associated with the user records the conversation. The intelligence device performs verbal language analysis on the conversation. The verbal language analysis generates individual metrics for verbal factors of energy, word count, inflection, tone (e.g. pitch and sentiment), rate, and/or the like. A verbal intelligence index is determined from the individual metrics using aggregation, averaging, weighted averaging, and/or the like. An interface component generates views to display to the user for review of the conversation to facilitate better verbal performance during current and in future conversations.
