System and method to provide customer feedback in a telephone call between a customer and a contact center, the method comprising: monitoring an audio media stream from the customer in the telephone call, detecting a dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) feedback code within the monitored media stream, and assigning a feedback rating from the detected feedback code.

Efficient mechanism for customer feedback from a voice call

A method for reducing backlog at a call center comprises receiving a request for an agent of a contact center from a device associated with a contact and determining a context for the request. Based on the context, the request may be published while restricting agents from servicing the request, and the duration of time that the request is published is monitored. If an interrupt that indicates that an opt-in user would like to handle the published request is received, then a device associated with the opt-in user is communicably coupled to the device associated with the contact. However, after the request is published for a publish time and an interrupt from a device associated with an opt-in user is not received the request is removed from being published and agents of the contact center are allowed to service the request.

Publishing contacts to opt-in users

A method for reducing backlog at a call center comprises receiving a request for an agent of a contact center from a device associated with a contact and determining a context for the request. Based on the context, the request may be published to a portal service while restricting agents from servicing the request, and the duration of time that the request is published is monitored. If an interrupt that indicates that an opt-in user would like to handle the published request is received, then a device associated with the opt-in user is communicably coupled to the device associated with the contact. However, if the time that the request is published surpasses a threshold and an interrupt is not received then the request is removed from being published to the portal service and agents of the contact center are allowed to service the request.

Methods and systems are provided for automatically generating expanded and derivative tags associated with digital content. The methods and systems provide multi-dimensional, layered tagging with stored audio/video conference contents, creating relationships and a tag network between links and nodes in a communication system.

Automatic expansion and derivative tagging

Media files are often tagged, such as by XML or other tagging paradigms, in order to indicate aspects of certain portions of the media file. Disclosed herein, security policy tagging is provided that supports a logically nested or hierarchical structure. Tags may be time- and/or event-altered, such as when a user who is denied access at one point in time may be granted access at a later point in time. The need to amend the security policy based upon the passage of time is reduced or eliminated as portions, or sub-portions, of a media file that may be selectively tagged with security tags may be presented or downloaded based upon the security policy. The a security policy may incorporate rules that change permissions upon the passage of time or the occurrence of an event, without requiring the modification of the presentation, the security tags of the presentation portion, or the security tag associated with a parent portion of the presentation or the presentation itself.
