1. A node comprising:
- a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium operably coupled thereto, which includes logic adapted to analyze a plurality of electronic communications between one or more customers of an organization and agents of a contact center comprising;
instructions that, when executed, apply linguistic analysis to each electronic communication that occurs over a first predetermined time period to identify segments including words related to business or non-business categories within each electronic communication;
instructions, that when executed, apply non-linguistic analysis to each electronic communication that occurs over the first predetermined time period, wherein the non-linguistic analysis includes at least one of a timing of each segment of each electronic communication, a determination of a position of each segment within each electronic communication, a determination of a quantity of each segment within each electronic communication, and a determination of an interaction between the one or more customers and agents within each electronic segment;
instructions that, when executed, identify a pattern in each electronic communication based on the linguistic analysis and the non-linguistic analysis over the first predetermined time period;
instructions that, when executed, determine a frequency for the pattern in each electronic communication over the first predetermined time period;
instructions that, when executed, identify a first subset of communications from the plurality of electronic communications that are relevant based on the identified pattern and the determined frequency for the pattern over the first predetermined time period;
instructions that, when executed, identify a second subset of communications that exhibit distress from the first subset of communications;
instructions that, when executed, identify a trend in the second subset of communications over the first predetermined time period based on the determined frequency for the pattern and presence of distress;
instructions that, when executed, display the identified trend on a graphical user interface; and
instructions that, when executed, transmit the second subset of communications to relevant personnel of the organization, the second subset of communications being the most relevant communications relative to the plurality of electronic communications.

14. A computer-implemented method for analyzing electronic communications between one or more customers of an organization and a contact center having one or more agents, the method being implemented by a non-transitory computer readable medium adapted to control a computer and comprising a plurality of code segments, the method comprising:
-
recording a plurality of electronic communications; applying linguistic analysis to each recorded electronic communication that occurs over a first predetermined time period to identify segments including words related to business or nonbusiness categories within each electronic communication; applying non-linguistic analysis to each electronic communication that occurs over the first predetermined time period, wherein the non-linguistic analysis includes at least one of timing of each segment of each electronic communication, determining a position of each segment within each electronic communication, determining a quantity of each segment within each electronic communication, and determining an interaction between the one or more customers and agents within each electronic communication; identifying a pattern in each recorded electronic communication based on the linguistic analysis and the non-linguistic analysis over the first predetermined time period; determining a frequency for the pattern in each recorded electronic communication over the first predetermined time period; identifying a first subset of communications from the plurality of recorded electronic communications that are relevant based on the identified pattern and the determined frequency for the pattern over the first predetermined time period; identifying a second subset of communications that exhibit distress from the first subset of communications; identifying a trend in the second subset of communications over the first predetermined time period based on the determined frequency for the pattern and presence of distress; displaying the identified trend on a graphical user interface; and transmitting the second subset of communications to relevant personnel of the organization, the second subset of communications being the most relevant communications relative to the plurality of electronic communications. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, are adapted to cause the one or more processors to perform a method which comprises:
-
recording a plurality of electronic communications between one or more customers of an organization and a contact center having one or more agents; applying linguistic analysis to each recorded electronic communication that occurs over a first predetermined time period to identify segments including words related to business or nonbusiness categories within each electronic communication; applying non-linguistic analysis to each electronic communication that occurs over the first predetermined time period, wherein the non-linguistic analysis includes at least one of timing of each segment of each electronic communication, determining a position of each segment within each electronic communication, determining a quantity of each segment within each electronic communication, and determining an interaction between the one or more customers and agents within each electronic communication; identifying a pattern in each recorded electronic communication based on the linguistic analysis and the non-linguistic analysis over the first predetermined time period; determining a frequency for the pattern in each recorded electronic communication over the first predetermined time period; identifying a first subset of communications from the plurality of recorded electronic communications that are relevant based on the identified pattern and the determined frequency for the pattern over the first predetermined time period; identifying a second subset of communications that exhibit distress from the first subset of communications; identifying a trend in the second subset of communications over the first predetermined time period based on the determined frequency for the pattern; generating a recommended action based on the identified trend; displaying the recommended action to a user; and transmitting the second subset of communications to relevant personnel of the organization, the second subset of communications being the most relevant communications relative to the plurality of electronic communications. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
