System and method for video analysis
First Claim
1. A method for analysis of a video stream in a contact center system, the method comprising:
- a. receiving, by a video server, a first video stream and a second video stream;
b. providing, by the video server, the second video stream to a video analysis system comprising;
an independent video processing system configured to analyze individual frames of video streams in real-time and extract a plurality of visual characteristics of a communicant in a video stream; and
a voice analysis component configured to analyze audio accompanying a video stream and extract a plurality of audio characteristics of a communicant in a video stream, andwherein the video analysis system is configured to send events based on the analysis back to the contact center system;
c. analyzing, automatically by the video analysis system, using a real-time video processing algorithm, each of a plurality of extracted visual and audio characteristics of a communicant in the second video stream, as the communicant in the second video stream interacts with a communicant from the first video stream, and automatically combining the plurality of characteristics to determine combined characteristics of the communicant in the second video stream; and
d. providing, by the video analysis system, real-time feedback regarding the characteristics of the communicant in the second video stream to the communicant in the second video stream based on the combined characteristics of the communicant in the second video stream.

Abstract
A system and method are presented for video analysis. In an embodiment, video analysis may be applied in a contact center environment to aid contact center agents in improving the effectiveness of interactions. Feedback may be provided in real time to an agent on their interaction. Body mechanics may be examined and rated. In an embodiment, body mechanics may be combined with indicators which inform an agent on their performance. Tips may also be provided to an agent on how to improve performance in the form of audio overlay, video overlay, reports, or any combination of these. Feedback may also be used to improve the routing of communications within the contact center. Static and dynamic visual characteristics may also be used to improve routing decisions.
