Abstract: In an enterprise-hosted multimedia telecommunications center, a client-facing interactive single-media pre-processing interface has an answering facility adapted for greeting and pre-instructing a client making a contact to the pre-processing interface, an identifying facility adapted for identifying the client through one or both of data accompanying the contact and information elicited from the client, and a discrimination facility adapted for offering the client one or more communication choices based on the client identification established by the identifying facility. 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, 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: In a multimedia call center (MMCC) supporting multiple channels and forms of communication and storing call center transactions in a data repository, 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 that searches accessed data for association criteria, and notes those data entities that meet the association criteria; and a display function that display at least indicators of data entities meeting the association criteria. The threading application serves as a research toll for mining data repositories 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 associating transactions occurring real time as well as stored data.

Abstract: A campaign module in a multimedia call center (MMCC) has programmable dynami c campaign module (DCM 349) for facilitating and monitoring outbound campaigns . The DCM comprises an interaction-level monitoring function (367) for monitoring interaction level of the MMCC according to programmed criteria, a nd comparing the real-time level with preset threshold, a search and retrieve function (363) for searching a data repository storing records of interactio ns and retrieving interaction data for specific interactions according to programmed criteria, a scripting function for selecting agents of the MMCC f or participating in a campaign, and for preparing task lists for said agents; a nd an initiation function for initiating in a campaign and distributing the tas k lists to the selected agents. During times of interaction level above the preset threshold the DCM searches the data repository, retrieves data, and prepares agent and task lists for a campaign, and when the interaction level falls below the preset threshold, the DCM launches and distributes task list s to agents selected for a campaign.

Abstract: A programming application for creating an Interactive Multimedia Application (IMA) which includes access to and rendering of multimedia files stored 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 Interactive Multimedia Viewer (IMV) software module including a code set adapted to access and render media code from multimedia files stored in a data repository and an editable layer allowing a programmer to program limitations limiting access by the IMV to preselected media files. In the programming application the programmer, by selecting, including, and editing software modules the programmer is enabled to create the IMA. IVRs may access and render code of one multimedia type or more than one type, and are adapted to interact with other software modules in an application. 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 are limited through the editable layer to tags of the multimedia files.

Abstract: A programmable diverse interaction code module (DIM) in an enterprise-hosted multimedia call center (MMCC) for facilitates and monitors diverse interactions between parties communicating through the MMCC, and includes a database interface for access to an MMCC data repository; and an association facility for associating parties to transactions with agents and projects. The association facility assigns association identifiers to parties according to defined projects and issues, and the database interface stores transactions in the data repository. Parties to transactions include customers and business associates remote from the MMCC and agents and knowledge workers local to the MMCC, and transactions are supported in any combination between any parties. The database interface stores transactions on threaded strings, the threading associated by one or more of project, issue, and chronology, and the DIM is programmable to apply to a single enterprise project. Transactions are displayable in some cases on threaded strings, and lower-order transactions may be hidden on some strings. Methods for practicing the invention re taught as well.

Abstract: An Interaction Object Model (IOM) interface to a data repository includes objects representing files in the data repository; standardized information about each file [255], the information associated in the IOM with each objec t, and an updating interface [253] communicating with the data repository [263] , 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.

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.
