    Abstract: An Internet system for providing call-back services for a subscriber includes a web page having a call-back link to a subscription server; a call-back application operating on the subscription server and adapted for accepting input from a browsing person linked to the subscription server by the call-back link; and a call-switching system connected to and responsive to the call-back application on the subscription server. In this system the browsing person, upon activating the call-back link, is linked to the call-back application on the subscription server and prompted for input including a call-back number, and the subscription server, after accepting the input, directs the call-switching system in establishing a telephony link between the subscriber and the browsing person. In some instances the telephony switch is part of a call-center with connected agents, and agents are assigned to represent selected subscribers. In this instance call-back connection is made between a browsing person and an agent. In some embodiments connections can be made either by conventional telephony links or by Internet telephone. In some instances as well provision is made for delivery of a full range of multi-media services from a subscriber to a browsing person.

    Abstract: A telephony call-waiting system for clients having a computer (112) with a video display unit (PC/VDU) and a public-switched telephony network (PSTN) telephone (111) connected to the PSTN (151) by a single line (150), keeps a status indication of the client's Internet connection status and, during periods of time the PC/VDU is connected to the Internet (101), alerts the clients by an alert signal over the Internet connection of any waiting PSTN calls. In a preferred embodiment the client's PC/VDU is adapted to provide an audio and/or visual alert event when an alert signal is received, and to provide for a user-initiated response to an alert, accepting or rejecting a call. In the event a call is accepted, provision is made for connecting the accepted call to the client's PC/VDU as an IP call. In some embodiments several calls may be dealt with at the PC/VDU, and features are provided such as caller-ID on the client's VDU. Several ways of accomplishing the call-waiting system are taught.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the availability of an agent in a multimedia-capable call center is disclosed. A routine implemented by the call-center determines whether an agent is busy or available (100). If the agent is determined to be busy on a video call (102, 104) or busy on a telephone call (106, 108), an Agent Busy result is returned (116). If the agent is determined not to be busy on either a video call (102, 104) or on a telephone call (106, 108), a determination is made as to whether the number of unanswered mails (e.g., electronic mail (e-mail) messages, voice mail messages, and video messages) for the agent exceeds a preset limit (110, 112). If the number of unanswered mails for the agent is determined to exceed the preset limit (110, 112), the Agent Busy result is returned (116). If the number of unanswered mails for the agent is determined to be equal to or less than the preset limit (110, 112), an Agent Available result is returned (114).
