Abstract

In one embodiment, a method determines an indication of a mood for a caller during a service call. The mood may be determined using a facial analysis of the caller's facial expressions. The mood may indicate an emotion of the user, such as the user is angry, happy, etc. The mood may be determined based on a facial expression analysis of the caller during a portion of the service call. The service call may be a call between the caller and a service center, which may provide customer support to a caller for a product, service, etc. One example of a service center may be video contact service center that enables video calls with a caller. An action is then determined based on analysis of the mood invoked during a portion of the call. Once the action is determined, the action may be performed.
