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:
A method for distributing calls of an automatic call distributor system includes determining location information for agents at a call center. The method further includes routing a request for connection with one of the agents to one of the agents based at least in part on the location information. A method for managing agents in a call center includes determining location information for a plurality of agents in a call center. The method further includes communicating a message to at least one of the agents requesting the agent to move to a new location in response to at least one request for connection with one of the agents.

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.
Abstract:
A system for handling service requests received from end-users that include telephone callers and persons who are physically present at a branch or store. The system includes an ACD (15) and a ticket dispenser(17) coupled with the ACD. The ticket dispenser being operable to first dispense a ticket having an identifier to each person who requests service at the branch or store, and then electronically communicate the identifier to the ACD. The ACD includes one or more queues to order calls received from the telephone callers and identifiers. The ACD routes either a call or a person to an available agent in accordance with an algorithm

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes capturing a facial image (32, Fig. 3) of a participant to a video conference session (10, Fig. 1) from a video stream of the video conference session. A database (23, Fig. 1) containing a plurality a stored facial images is then accessed in an attempt to match the facial image with one of the stored facial images. Each stored facial image is associated with information in the database associated with a person, the information being retrieved in the event of a match. 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.
