Abstract: A customer-interaction network operating system for managing interactions in a multimedia communication center has an external media layer (83) for managing media contact between customers and the communication center, a workflow layer (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) operating through an operating system, a client-specific self-help wizard (137) is provided for active clients and updated periodically with information related to client transaction history with the MMCC. A connected client is presented by the wizard with a selectiv e media function through which the client may select a media type for interaction and help, and the MMCC will then recontact the client through th e selected media. The client, for example, may select IP or COST telephony (139), and the MMCC will place a call to the client to a number or IP addres s (139) listed for the client, and interactivity will then be through an interactive voice response unit. Help information specific to a client is updated in the client's wizard periodically according to ongoing transaction history with the MMCC. The wizard may also monitor client activity with the wizard and make reports available to various persons.

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 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.
