When my colleague Alexis Lloyd told me about this patent that routes you to a human operator if you start swearing at the machine caller,
A call processing apparatus comprises a device for answering an incoming call, an interactive voice unit for eliciting information about the call from the customer, a device for analyzing the caller’s response according to predetermined criteria to identify callers having certain behavioral characteristics, and a device for routing callers identified as having these characteristics to predetermined attendant stations. The apparatus therefore permits caller’s having special needs to be automatically routed to suitably trained attendants.
