Controlled question and answer knowledge system management confirming customer does not want to terminate/cancel service/relationship
View Patent ↗In a system for knowledge system management, the system includes: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory has stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a question from a customer; determine whether to not the question satisfies a first criterion for obtaining an automated response to the question; in response to determining that the question satisfies the first criterion, transmit the question to a knowledge system for generating automated responses to questions; receive the automated response to the question from the knowledge system; determine whether or not the automated response satisfies a second criterion for providing the automated response to the customer; and in response to determining that the automated response satisfies the second criterion, transmit the automated response to an electronic device operated by the customer.
1. A system for knowledge system management, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory has stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive a question from a customer;
determine whether to not the question satisfies a first criterion for obtaining an automated response to the question, wherein the first criterion comprises a determination confirming that the customer does not wish to terminate a customer relationship;
in response to determining that the question satisfies the first criterion, transmit the question to an external knowledge system configured to receive questions as input and generate automated responses to the questions;
receive the automated response to the question from the external knowledge system;
determine whether or not the automated response satisfies a second criterion for providing the automated response to the customer; and
in response to determining that the automated response satisfies the second criterion, transmit the automated response to an electronic device operated by the customer.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine contextual information regarding the question.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the contextual information comprises a topic trend of the question.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the contextual information comprises stored profile information regarding the customer.
5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit the contextual information to the external knowledge system along with the question.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second criterion comprises a confidence level for an accuracy of the automated response being above a predetermined threshold.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to route a communication link with the electronic device operated by the customer to an agent device in response to determining that the automated response does not satisfy the second criterion.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second criterion comprises the automated response being shorter than a predetermined length.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to route a communication link with the electronic device operated by the customer to an agent device in response to determining that the question does not satisfy the first criterion.
10. A method for knowledge system management, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a question from a customer;
determining, by the processor, whether to not the question satisfies a first criterion for obtaining an automated response to the question, wherein the first criterion comprises a determination confirming that the customer does not wish to terminate a customer relationship;
in response to determining that the question satisfies the first criterion, transmitting, by the processor, the question to an external knowledge system configured to receive questions as input and generate automated responses to the questions;
receiving, by the processor, the automated response to the question from the external knowledge system;
determining, by the processor, whether or not the automated response satisfies a second criterion for providing the automated response to the customer; and
in response to determining that the automated response satisfies the second criterion, transmitting, by the processor, the automated response to an electronic device operated by the customer.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising determining, by the processor, contextual information regarding the question.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the contextual information comprises a topic trend of the question.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the contextual information comprises stored profile information regarding the customer.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising transmitting, by the processor, the contextual information to the external knowledge system along with the question.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second criterion comprises a confidence level for an accuracy of the automated response being above a predetermined threshold.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising routing, by the processor, a communication link with the electronic device operated by the customer to an agent device in response to determining that the automated response does not satisfy the second criterion.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second criterion comprises the automated response being shorter than a predetermined length.
18. The method of claim 10 , further comprising routing, by the processor, a communication link with the electronic device operated by the customer to an agent device in response to determining that the question does not satisfy the first criterion.
