Patent ID: 8060364

Claim:
An apparatus for event-driven content analysis of an audio interaction captured in a call center, within a computerized system having a processing unit and a storage unit, the apparatus comprising the elements of: an audio or video recording device for recording the audio interaction and obtaining an interaction media; a pivot spot defining component for automatically marking an at least one time position in the audio interaction that indicates the occurrence of an at least one pre-defined event or data item; a first audio content analysis component of a first audio content analysis type; a region of interest defining component for defining an initial region of interest, by determining the time limits of an at least one segment of the audio interaction, the segment containing the time position of a pivot spot, and for activating the first audio content analysis component on the initial region of interest for dynamically reducing the time limits of the initial region of interest to obtain the region of interest; and a second audio content analysis component of a second audio content analysis type different from the first audio content analysis type, for analyzing the region of interest of the audio interaction, wherein the first audio content analysis type and the second audio content analysis type are selected such that the second audio content analysis type requires more computing resources than the first audio content analysis type.
