Abstract:
The present invention involves a system for routing video telecommunication calls received by a central exchange to one of a plurality of video stations connected to the exchange. Each video communication channel occupies two voice-quality telephone channels. Video telecommunication calls are initiated by a video device having preassigned telephone numbers. The video device then calls the central exchange. The routing system contains a telephone switch that connects the first incoming telephone channel to a video station. The ANI of the calling video device is recorded. When the second incoming telephone channel of the same video station is received, its ANI is detected. Because the telephone numbers associated with the calling video device are preassigned, the routing system is able to anticipate the second ANI of the channel which carries the video telecommunication. Upon receiving a call having the second ANI, the routing system then connects this call to the same video station.
Abstract:
A plurality of aspects (113, 114, 120, 124) and embodiment of unique telephony apparatus and methods are disclosed, including but limited to video routing and conferencing, coordinating telephone calls with data pertaining to the calls, methods for implementing and operating call centers (110), routing calls by statistical modeling, using multiple object states in telephony software systems, and routing of electronic documents.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a system (6100) for routing an electronic mail (e-mail) to one of a plurality of agents in an Internet Protocol Network Telephony call center. Each of the agents having a specific skill set from a variety of possible skill sets. The system (6100)comprises an e-mail server (6102) adapted to receive an e-mail from a sender, an information extractor (6204) for extracting information from said e-mail, a router (6116), and a database (6114) accessible to the router and storing skill sets of said agents. The router (6116) selects the one of a plurality of agents by matching stored information about the specific skill sets with portions of extracted information from the e-mail.
