Abstract

A customer service system for providing enhanced guidance and resources to service agents and providing an enhance ability to select service agents that are best suited to address specific customers and specific customer needs, and methods for manufacturing and using same. The customer service system includes a system server with a semantic engine configured to analyze customer contact events and customize service agent interfaces based on determined customer needs.

Claims (42)

1. A method for customer contact handling, comprising:

receiving contact text and contact metadata from a user device;

determining semantic characteristics of the contact text based on semantic analysis of the contact text;

identifying a user profile based on the contact metadata;

retrieving user data associated with the identified user profile;

determining a contact need classification based on the semantic characteristics and user data; and

selecting a service agent profile from a plurality of service agent profiles based on one or more of the contact need classification, semantic characteristics, and the data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identifying the user profile is further based on the contact text.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing contact event data to an agent device associated with the selected service agent profile.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising modifying a contact event interface at the agent device based on the contact event data.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising modifying a contact event interface at the agent device based on the user data and the contact need classification.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said modifying the contact event interface comprises presenting at least a portion of the user data and presenting the contact need classification.

7. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving contact event note data from the user device; and

determining semantic characteristics of the contact event note data based on semantic analysis of the contact event note data.

8. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving contact event text correspondence data; and

determining semantic characteristics of the contact event text correspondence data based on semantic analysis of the contact event text correspondence data.

9. A method for customer contact handling, comprising:

receiving contact audio data and contact metadata from a user device;

determining semantic characteristics of the contact audio data based on semantic analysis of the contact audio data;

identifying a user profile based at least on the contact metadata;

retrieving user data associated with the identified user profile;

determining at least one contact need classification based on the sematic characteristics and user data; and

selecting a service agent profile from a plurality of service agent profiles based on one or more of the contact need classification, semantic characteristics, and the user data.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining speech characteristics of the contact audio data.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said determining the semantic characteristics of the contact audio data comprises generating contact text based on the contact audio data.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein said identifying the user profile is further based on the contact audio data.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising providing contact event data to an agent device associated with the selected service agent profile.

14. A method for customer contact handling, comprising:

receiving contact text from a user device;

determining semantic characteristics of the contact text based on semantic analysis of the contact text;

determining at least one contact need classification based on the sematic characteristics and user data; and

selecting a service agent profile from a plurality of service agent profiles based on the contact need classification.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising identifying a user profile based on the contact text.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising providing contact event data to an agent device associated with the selected service agent profile and modifying a contact event interface at the agent device based on the contact event data.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving contact event note data from the user device; and

determining semantic characteristics of the contact event note data based on semantic analysis of the contact event note data.

18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving contact event text correspondence data; and

determining semantic characteristics of the contact event text correspondence data based on semantic analysis of the contact event text correspondence data.
