Abstract: In an operating system (OS) for a multimedia communication center (MMCC) (17 ), an interactive process module (IPM) (287) for accomplishing a process has a plurality of code sets, each adapted to completion of a specific task (289) in the overall process, an input interface for providing one or more inputs to the IPM (287), and an output function for returning a result (295, 297). The plurality of code sets are related by pre-requisite status, creating a required order of progression for the process, the process is initiated afte r being called by the OS and receiving required inputs, the IPM (287) is adapt ed to interface with other OS modules for accessing and providing data, and upo n completion of the last task the IPM (287) returns the result (295, 297). In one embodiment the IPM (287) is represented by an interactive GANT chart. In a preferred embodiment a tool kit is provided for a programmer to create such IPMs (287) to perform business processes. IPMs thus created may be displayed and edited as object models.

Abstract: In an enterprise-hosted multimedia telecommunications center (17), a client- facing interactive single-media pre-processing interface (61) has an answeri ng facility (59) adapted for greeting and pre-instructing a client making a contact to the pre-processing interface (61), an identifying facility adapte d for identifying the client through one or both of data accompanying the contact and information elicited from the client, and a discrimination facility (77) adapted for offering the client one or more communication choices based on the client identification established by the identifying facility (77). In one embodiment the pre-processing interface is a WEB page. Also in a preferred embodiment, client transaction history is recorded in an enterprise data repository (79), including current projects, and clients are offered choices based on transaction history. In one such embodiment, live calls are reserved for clients engaged in current projects.

Abstract: A customer-interaction network operating system for managing interactions in a multimedia communication center has an external media layer (83) for managin g media contact between customers and the communication center, a workflow lay er (85) for processing customer interactions and routing events to enterprise agents and knowledge workers; and an internal media layer (87) for managing media contact with the agents and knowledge workers. The workflow layer captures each transaction, prepares a text version of at least a portion of each non-text transaction, and extracts knowledge from the text transaction or text version of a non-text transaction to be stored in a knowledge base for later use in routing and other management functions. All transactions, text versions, and extracted knowledge is related in storage for future analysis and use.

Abstract: In a multimedia call center (MMCC) supporting multiple channels and forms of communication and storing call center transactions in a data repository (263 ), a threading software application has a programming input for a user to enter association criteria, an access function that accesses at least stored data in the data repository, a search function (265) that searches accessed data for association criteria, and notes those data entities that meet the associatio n criteria; and a display function (269) that displays at least indicators of data entities meeting the association criteria. The threading application serves as a research tool for mining data repositories (263) of the call center for information pertinent to business goals of the enterprise hosting the call center. In some embodiments the application is capable of associati ng transactions occuring real time as well as stored data.

Abstract: A programmable diverse interaction code module (DIM) (301) in an enterprise- hosted multimedia call center (MMCC) (17) for facilitating and monitoring diverse interactions between parties including customers and business associates communicating through the MMCC (17) includes a database interface for access to an MMCC data repository and an association facility for associating parties to transactions with agents (31, 33, 35, 37) and project s. The association facility assigns association identifiers to parties accordin g to defined projects and issues, and the database interface stores transactio ns in the data repository. The database interface stores transactions between parties on threaded strings, the threading associated by one or more of project, issue, and chronology, and the DIM (301) is programmable to apply t o a single enterprise project.

Abstract: A programming application for creating an Interactive Multimedia Application (IMA) (239) which includes access to and rendering of multimedia files store d in a data repository has first selectable software modules providing functionality for an Interactive Multimedia Application other than access to and rendering of the multimedia files, and at least one selectable Interacti ve Multimedia Viewer (IMV) (227) software module including a code set adapted t o access and render media code from multimedia files stored in a data reposito ry and an editable layer allowing the programmer to program limitations limitin g access by the IMV to preselected media files. Multimedia files stored in the data repository represent multimedia transactions, and are typically characterized with tags according to one or more of date, time, participants , file type, company affiliation of participants, subject or issue, and relationship to other multimedia files, and IMVs (227) are limited through t he editable layer to tags of the multimedia files.

Abstract: A multimedia call center includes facility for storing copies of transactions associated with the call center in a data repository, relating the transactions according to specific criteria, and an interactive interface for a user to access the files from a graphic string of identifiers representing the files, and to play the files, thereby reviewing the actual transactions. In a preferred embodiment text versions of non-text events may be prepared and related to the non-text stored files in a manner that the related text files may also be selected and reviewed by use of the same interactive interface. By data extraction applied to the text files, the text files and the non-text files associated with some text files may be related to one another by relational criteria, and other informational files may also be related to the stored event files.

Abstract: An Interaction Object Model (IOM) Interface to a data repository includes objects representing files in the data repository; standardized information about each file, the information associated in the IOM with each object, and an updating interface communicating with the data repository, keeping objects conformal with the files in the data repository. An interaction interface to system function modules requiring data associated with the files in the data repository is provided, wherein through the interaction interface the system function modules are enabled to retrieve required data from the IOM without accessing the data files in the data repository directly. A principle use is in a multimedia call center, storing text and non-text transactions of the call center.
