Method and system for voice monitoring

1. A method comprising:

processing a communication request for establishing a communication session to communicate signals between an interactive voice response device and a first communication device over a network;

identifying a monitoring request comprising address information associated with the communication request for requesting monitoring of the communication session; and

instructing establishment of a monitoring session for conferencing a second communication device into the communication session to receive the signals communicated between the interactive voice response device and the first communication device at the second communication device, wherein if the monitoring request comprising address information is not identified, further comprising:

communicating signals between the first communication device and the interactive voice response unit using the communication session;

identifying a monitoring event based on the signals communicated in the communication session; and

requesting establishment of the monitoring session to conference the second communication device into the communication session based on the monitoring event.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising routing the communication session from the interactive voice response device to an agent communication device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising routing the communication session through a switch.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising establishing the monitoring session between the switch and the second communication device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising routing the communication session to a second interactive voice response device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second interactive voice response device generates voice prompt packets for generating a textual, audible, or visual message.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising establishing the monitoring session between the second interactive voice response device and the second communication device.

8. A non-transitory computer readable media comprising code to perform the acts of the method of claim 1 .

9. A method comprising:

processing a communication request to establish a communication session between an interactive voice response unit and a first communication device via a network;

identifying a monitoring request comprising address information associated with the communication request for requesting monitoring of the communication session, wherein if the monitoring request comprising address information is not identified, further comprising:

communicating signals between the first communication device and the interactive voice response unit using the communication session;

identifying a monitoring event based on the signals communicated in the communication session; and

establishing a monitoring session for conferencing a second communication device into the communication session to receive the signals communicated between the first communication device and the interactive voice response unit using the communication session.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising monitoring dynamic characteristics of the signals, wherein the monitoring event is identified based on monitoring the dynamic characteristics.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein monitoring dynamic characteristics of the signals measures an amplitude of the signals.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the monitoring event corresponds to a circular sequence of questions.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the monitoring event corresponds to a predefined number of questions.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the monitoring event corresponds to prompting a user to repeat an answer to a question a predefined number of times.

15. A non-transitory computer readable media comprising code to perform the acts of the method of claim 9 .

16. A method comprising:

processing a communication request including address information to establish a communication session between an interactive voice response unit and a first communication device over a network;

determining whether the address information is associated with a monitoring request; and

requesting establishment of a monitoring session to conference a second communication device into the communication session if the address information is associated with the monitoring request, wherein if the address information is not associated with the monitoring request, further comprising:

communicating signals between the first communication device and the interactive voice response unit using the communication session;

identifying a monitoring event based on the signals communicated in the communication session; and

requesting establishment of the monitoring session to conference the second communication device into the communication session based on the monitoring event.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the monitoring request includes second address information, and wherein the monitoring session is established if the address information matches the second address information.

18. A non-transitory computer readable media comprising code to perform the acts of the method of claim 16 .

19. A system comprising:

a gateway device to receive a communication request over a network, the communication request including address information;

an interactive voice response unit communicatively coupled to the gateway device and being configured to establish a communication session with a communication device based on the communication request; and

a server communicatively coupled to the interactive voice response unit, the server being configured to identify a monitoring request from a second communication device and to query a database to determine whether the address information is associated with the monitoring request

a switch, wherein the gateway device establishes a connection to route the communication session through the switch and back to the gateway device, wherein the server is configured to forward a switch address of the switch to the database, and wherein the second communication device is configured to monitor and obtain the switch address from the database, to generate a monitoring session request including the switch address, and to forward the monitoring session request to the switch, and wherein the switch establishes a monitoring session for conferencing the second communications device into the communication session based on the monitoring session request.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the server determines that the monitoring request is associated with the address information if second address information included in the monitoring request matches the address information.
