PREDICTION OF CONTACT CENTER INTERACTIONS
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a communication analyzer configured to identify one or more metrics for a communication session between a user and a self-service application and determine, based on the one or more metrics, a pattern that will likely predict an initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application; and
a communication manager configured change a way of managing the user in the communication session with the self-service application in response to determining the pattern that will likely predict the initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application.

Abstract
In order to provide better service with self-service applications, metrics for a communication session between a user and a self-service application are identified. Based on the metrics, a pattern is determined that will likely predict an initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application. In response to determining that the pattern will likely predict the initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application, the way the user is managed in the communication session is changed. For example, if a particular pattern of IVR responses is detected that will likely lead to a caller abandoning a voice call, the voice call can be automatically transferred from the IVR system to a contact center agent. This provides for increased customer satisfaction and better utilization of contact center resources.

8. A method comprising:
-
identifying, by one or more processors, one or more metrics for a communication session between a user and a self-service application; determining, by the one or more processors, based on the one or more metrics, a pattern that will likely predict an initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application; and in response to determining that the pattern will likely predict the initial outcome of the communication session with the self-service application, changing a way of managing the user in the communication session with the self-service application. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving, a text interaction on a topic at a contact center, wherein the text interaction is between a user and a contact center agent; analyzing the text interaction to detect a pattern in the text interaction; determining, based on the pattern in the text interaction, a pattern that will likely predict an initial outcome of the text interaction; and in response to determining the pattern will likely predict the initial outcome of the text interaction, changing the way of managing the user in the text interaction. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
