| 20080294435 | System and Method for Remote Speech Recognition - A system and method for remote speech recognition includes one or more customer premise equipment, a speech engine, and a communication engine. The customer premise equipment interfaces with a host from which the customer premise equipment is remotely located. The speech engine, remotely located from the host, recognizes a plurality of speech spoken by a user of the customer premise equipment and translates the speech into the language of the host. The speech engine further converts the recognized speech into one or more text data packets where the text data packets include the recognized speech as data instead of voice. The communication engine encrypts the text data packets and transmits the text data packets to the host. Transmitting data instead of voice to the host reduces the computational demands on the host. Additionally, the communication engine receives a plurality of information from the host. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090067590 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF UTILIZING A HYBRID SEMANTIC MODEL FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION - A system includes a network interface, a speech input conversion component, and a routing module. Speech input is received in connection with a call. At least a segment of the speech input is transformed into a first textual format. A first list of entries is generated based, at least partially, on consideration of the first textual format. The first list includes at least one action with a corresponding confidence level and at least one object with another corresponding confidence level. An entry of the first list having a higher corresponding confidence level is selected, and a second textual format is output. A second list is generated based, at least partially, on consideration of the selected entry and the second textual format. A routing option is suggested based on the selected entry and a pairing entry in the second list. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090287484 | System and Method for Targeted Tuning of a Speech Recognition System - A system and method of targeted tuning of a speech recognition system are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes determining a frequency of occurrence of a particular type of utterance method and includes determining whether the frequency of occurrence exceeds a threshold. The method further includes tuning a speech recognition system to improve recognition of the particular type of utterance when the frequency of occurrence of the particular type of utterance exceeds the threshold. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100040207 | System and Method for Independently Recognizing and Selecting Actions and Objects in a Speech Recognition System - A system includes an acoustic input engine configured to accept a speech input, to recognize phonemes of the speech input, and to create word strings based on the recognized phonemes. The system includes a semantic engine coupled to the acoustic engine and operable to identify actions and to identify objects by parsing the word strings. The system also includes an action-object pairing system to identify a dominant entry from the identified actions and the identified objects, to select a complement to the dominant entry from the identified actions and the identified objects, and to form an action-object pair that includes the dominant entry and the complement. The system further includes an action-object routing table operable to provide a routing destination based on the action-object pair. The system also includes a call routing module to route a call to the routing destination. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100054449 | System and Method of Determining Call Treatment of Repeat Calls - A method and system of handling a call received at a call center is disclosed. The method includes determining that the call is a repeat call. The method also includes determining whether the repeat call is to receive a first treatment type. The method further includes servicing the repeat call with the first treatment type when the repeat call is determined to receive the first treatment type. The method includes servicing the repeat call with a second treatment type when the repeat call is determined to not receive the first treatment type. The second treatment type includes providing access to a self-service automated system. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100091978 | CALL ROUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A particular method of using a call routing system includes generating a first action object identifier associated with a task, a first result identifier associated with the task, and a first reason identifier at a first module in response to a call using a processor of the call routing system. The first result identifier has a value that indicates a status of the task. The first reason identifier includes information related to the first result identifier. The method also includes routing the call from the first module to a second module using the processor, based at least in part on the first action object identifier, the first result identifier, and the first reason identifier. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100232595 | System and Method for Speech-Enabled Call Routing - A method includes receiving speech of a call from a caller at a processor of a call routing system. The method includes using the processor to determine a first call destination for the call based on the speech. The method includes using the processor to determine whether the caller is in compliance with at least one business rule related to an account of the caller. The method includes routing the call to the first call destination when the caller is in compliance with the at least one business rule and routing the call to a second call destination when the caller is not in compliance with the at least one business rule. | 09-16-2010 |
