20140379814 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZED MESSAGE CREATION AND DELIVERY - A system provides for the efficient delivery of messages from one or more message originators to one or more message recipients via a plurality of communication or messaging platforms. A message originator can create a single message and specify one or more message recipients, multiple communication platforms and delivery scheduling, all from a graphical user interface on a mobile communication device or a computer. The message will be formatted for the selected message recipients, the available and desired communication platforms in the desired priority order, and scheduled for delivery to the message recipients at selected time(s). Additionally, messages may be screened to reduce or eliminate potentially duplicate messages via one or more duplication filters. On the message recipient side, each message recipient can specify the desired communication platform and preference priority for receipt of messages, along with the desired timing for delivery of messages from each potential message originator. | 12-25-2014 |

20080281620 | Multi-Modal Automation for Human Interactive Skill Assessment - A method for screening applicants includes remotely accessing a screening entity's web page by a potential candidate. The candidate is asked, via the pre-screening web page, to input responses to a set of queries tailored to the screening entity and the candidate's responses to the queries are stored. A phone call is automatically initiated to the candidate in response to at least one of the candidate's responses. An interactive information gathering process is started with the candidate using both the telephone and the computer. In the process, audio prompts to the candidate are generated via the telephone and the candidate's verbal responses are recorded via the telephone. A profile of the candidate is stored in a database including the verbal responses from the candidate for later access and analysis by the screening entity. The recorded responses are analyzed by the screening entity to make quality judgments about the candidate. | 11-13-2008 |
20110213726 | Multi-Modal Automation for Human Interactive Skill Assessment - A method for screening applicants by a screening entity includes the steps of remotely accessing a screening entity's multi-modal pre-screening tool by a candidate using an Internet-accessible device, the pre-screening tool comprising audio and visual elements operable to communicatively interact with the candidate, and carrying out an interactive skills assessment of the candidate by communicating at least one cue to the candidate from the screening entity, requiring the candidate, upon receiving the at least one cue, to simultaneously interact with the pre-screening tool and, based upon this interaction, communicate a verbal response to the cue, recording the candidate's verbal response with the pre-screening tool and storing the verbal response in a database profile associated with the candidate and accessible by the screening entity, and analyzing the candidate's recorded response by the screening entity and carrying out a quality and criteria judgment to determine the hiring potential of the candidate. | 09-01-2011 |
20130346332 | Multi-Modal Automation for Human Interactive Skill Assessment - A method for screening candidates by a screening entity that includes remotely accessing a screening entity's online web page by a candidate. The candidate inputs responses to a set of queries tailored to the screening entity. The responses thereto are stored in a candidate profile. An interactive audio session is initiated and an interactive information gathering process with the candidate occurs using both the audio session and the computer. Prompts are generated via the audio session and web page. Verbal responses are recorded and confidence scores are automatically calculated. The verbal responses are stored with the candidate profile for later access and analysis by the screening entity. The stored information is analyzed by the screening entity to make quality and criteria judgments about the candidate to determine a hiring potential of the candidate. | 12-26-2013 |

20150381770 | DATA PACKET DELIVERY BASED ON NETWORK DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS - A server device is provided that may format generated data packets to be compatible with network requirements for sending the data packets to a client device via a network. For example, the server device may generate the data packets for delivery to a client device via a network. The server device may determine downstream network requirements for delivering the data packets via the network. The downstream network requirements may indicate compliance with a particular network standard. The server device may identify a non-compliant data packet of the data packets that does not comply with the downstream network requirements. The server device may generate a formatted data packet by automatically formatting the non-compliant data packet to comply with the downstream network requirements. The formatted data packet may be generated based on the particular network standard. The server device may send the data packets, including the formatted data packet, to the client device via the network. | 12-31-2015 |
