System and method for anticipatory dynamic customer segmentation for a contact center
First Claim
1. A method for enhanced interaction processing in a contact center, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a router coupled to a telecommunications network, an interaction associated with a customer;
detecting, by a processor coupled to the router, the interaction pending at the router;
retrieving, by the processor, in response to detecting the pending interaction, identification of a first customer segment to which the customer belongs, wherein the first customer segment is associated with a first objective of the contact center;
predicting, by the processor, an outcome of the pending interaction;
identifying, by the processor, a second customer segment based on the predicted outcome, wherein the second customer segment is associated with a second objective of the contact center different from the first business objective;
re-associating, by the processor, the customer to the second customer segment; and
handling, by the processor, the pending interaction according to the second objective instead of the first objective, wherein in handling the second objective, a device of the contact center is configured to engage in communication with a device of the customer over the telecommunications network.

Abstract
System and method for enhanced interaction processing in a contact center that includes dynamically determining customer segmentation. A processor detects a pending interaction with a customer. The processor retrieves, in response to detecting the pending interaction, identification of a first customer segment to which the customer belongs. The first customer segment is associated with a first objective of the contact center. The processor predicts an outcome of the pending interaction, and identifies a second customer segment based on the predicted outcome. The processor re-associates the customer to a second customer segment, where the second customer segment is associated with a second objective of the contact center different from the first business objective. The processor handles the pending interaction according to the second objective instead of the first objective.

10. A system for enhanced interaction processing in a contact center, the system comprising:
-
a router coupled to a telecommunications network, wherein the router is configured to receive an interaction associated with a customer; processor coupled to the router; and memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; detect the pending interaction pending at the router; retrieve, in response to detecting the pending interaction, identification of a first customer segment to which the customer belongs, wherein the first customer segment is associated with a first objective of the contact center; predict an outcome of the pending interaction; identify a second customer segment based on the predicted outcome, wherein the second customer segment is associated with a second objective of the contact center different from the first business objective; re-associate the customer to the second customer segment; and handle the pending interaction according to the second objective instead of the first objective, wherein in handling the second objective, a device of the contact center is configured to engage in communication with a device of the customer over the telecommunications network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
