Abstract:
A method for automatic contact distribution includes receiving a contact for connection with an agent and distributing the contact to a first agent. The method includes automatically transferring the first agent from a ready state to a second state if the first agent does not answer the contact and detecting the presence of the first agent at a device associated with the first agent when the first agent is in the second state. The method may include transferring the first agent from the second state to the ready state after detecting the presence of the first agent at a device associated with the first agent. The second state may comprises a system initiated not ready (SINR) state.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a telephony system includes a memory that stores one or more call preferences of a user, and a central call routing entity that enables a user to set a call forwarding rule. In accordance with the call forwarding rule and in response to an incoming call to a first telephone device of the user, the call routing entity routing the incoming call to a second telephone device along with a message indicating that the one or more call preferences of the user are stored in the memory. The one or more call preferences are then fetched and applied at the second telephone device. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.
Abstract:
A unified messaging system includes a unit to store a message operable to store a message sent to a user, the message having a selectable security attribute set to a one of a plurality of levels. A module associated with the unit operates to secure a voice channel used by the user to listen to the message when the selectable security level is set to a high level indicating encryption. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
Abstract:
A method for utilizing proxy designation in a call system includes receiving a call from a first user (60) over a first connection with a first endpoint (62a-62d) of the first user (60). The method includes receiving a proxy designation from the first user (60). The proxy designation comprises a proxy user designated to handle the call for the first user (60). The method also includes establishing a second connection with the proxy user and detecting the presence of the proxy user over the second connection.
Abstract:
A method for communicating navigation information includes receiving destination information from a user. The destination information comprises a desired destination of the user.. The method includes determining a first route to the destination and communicating the first route to the user. The method includes monitoring position information of a plurality of vehicles and identifying an area causing traffic delay using the position information of the plurality of vehicles. The method also includes determining a second route to the destination to avoid the area and communicating the second route to the user.

Abstract:
A unified messaging system for an enterprise includes a messaging module operable to store a message sent by a first user to a second user in a first media type, and to deliver the message to the second user in either the first type or a second media type. A natural language speech parsing (NLSP) module coupled with the messaging module is operable to detect an actionable item contained within the message, the messaging module dynamically modifying a response menu to include an option corresponding to the actionable item, and then presenting the modified response menu to the second user concurrent with or following delivery of the message. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
