Abstract:
A method for communicating a reminder message includes establishing a first connection between a user and a reminder center. The method includes communicating, from the user to the reminder center, a reminder time. The method also includes scheduling a reminder message at the reminder center, and terminating the first connection between the user and the reminder center. The method includes selecting, at the reminder center, a preferred endpoint associated with the user, from a plurality of endpoints associated with the user. The method also includes attempting to establish a second connection between the user and the reminder center, using the preferred endpoint associated with the user, at approximately the reminder time, and communicating the reminder message from the reminder center to the user.
Abstract:
A method for presenting information includes receiving an instruction to present recorded content and presenting the recorded content on a display. The method includes monitoring data associated with the recorded content and receiving an instruction to present the recorded content at a fast forward speed. The method also includes presenting the recorded content at the fast forward speed on the display and, while presenting the recorded content at the fast forward speed, presenting on the display information about the subject matter of the recorded content presented at the fast forward speed based on the data associated with the recorded content.
Abstract:
A method for providing communication with an automated voice system includes establishing a first communication session between a caller and the automated voice system. The first communication session includes a call thread. The method also includes receiving a signal indicative of a call event. In response to receiving the signal indicative of the call event, a state of the call thread is saved. The method also includes establishing a second communication session between the caller and the automated voice system at a state of the call thread associated with the saved state of the call thread.
Abstract:
ACD system with out-dial function allowing callback of caller when the time to wait for an agent to be free (on hold) would be too long. In this case the caller can disconnect maintaining his position in the queue and upon his turn in the queue being reached, receive a call from the out-dialling system connecting him and the agent.
Abstract:
A method for handling a queued automatic call distributor call includes receiving a call from an endpoint of a caller over a first connection. The call comprises a request for service. The method includes connecting the call to an automatic call distributor through a second connection and determining that the call is queued. The method includes terminating the first connection with the caller and receiving an indicator to reestablish a connection with the caller. The method also includes reestablishing a connection with the caller.
