Auto-detection of environment for mobile agent
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- analyzing an environment surrounding a potential participant to a first call;
determining whether the environment surrounding the potential participant comprises noise that violates a noise threshold set for calls involving the potential participant;
limiting the potential participant'"'"'s ability to participate in a future call unless and until the environment surrounding the potential participant complies with the noise threshold;
determining that the first call has completed;
in response to determining that the first call has completed, re-analyzing the environment surrounding the potential participant; and
re-determining whether the environment surrounding the potential participant comprises noise that violates the noise threshold set for calls involving the potential participant.

Abstract
An automatic ambient environmental detection and lockout system that recognizes unacceptable background noise for agents and a method that requires agents and/or supervisors to take corrective action on detected noise issues prior to work assignment facilitates an effective and efficient environment appropriate for agents to handle contact center work.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions, that when read by a processor the instructions cause the processor to perform:
-
analyzing an environment surrounding a potential participant to a call; determining whether the environment surrounding the potential participant comprises noise that violates a noise threshold set for calls involving the potential participant; limiting the potential participant'"'"'s ability to participate in a future call unless and until the environment surrounding the potential participant complies with the noise threshold; allowing the potential participant to engage in a first call; determining that the first call has completed; in response to determining that the first call has completed, re-analyzing the environment surrounding the potential participant; and re-determining whether the environment surrounding the potential participant comprises noise that violates the noise threshold set for calls involving the potential participant. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A communication system, comprising:
-
an environmental correction module configured to analyze an environment surrounding a potential participant to a call and perform the following operations; determine, whether the environment surrounding the potential participant comprises noise that violates a noise threshold set for calls involving the potential participant; and limit the potential participant'"'"'s ability to participate in a future call unless and until the environment surrounding the potential participant complies with the noise threshold; an environmental correction module configured to perform the following operations; allow the potential participant to engage in a first call; determine that the first call has completed; in response to determining that the first call has completed, re-analyze the environment surrounding the potential participant; and re-determine whether the environment surrounding the potential participant comprises noise that violates the noise threshold set for calls involving the potential participant. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
