    Abstract: A method and system for providing a workflow integrated troubleshooting tool. The system may include a central workflow server from which network technicians may obtain trouble tickets and with which the technician may analyze and solve problems identified in the trouble tickets. The workflow server may automatically provide recommended workflows to technicians with step-by-step guidance instructions accompanied by relevant links to appropriate diagnostic software tools. The workflow server mediates between formats of information from a customer database and from any of a number of diagnostic software applications. The method may include permitting a technician centralized login and authentication to each of a number of separate diagnostic tools, prioritization of trouble tickets and automated workflow suggestions and testing through a common graphic user interface.

    Abstract: A system for tracking client contacts for a host organization utilizes a multimedia database and a user interface at a connected computer device. The database stores client communications as full content, and relates contacts by issue, and the user interface displays client contact communications as objects, such as icons, in issue related chronological strings. In a preferred embodiment the interface also provides an input facility for a host agent to select appropriate responses to client communications, to make commitments for response, to assign responsibility for commitments, and to notify personnel effected by entered commitments in various ways, such as reminders. Other notifications include fulfilled and unfulfilled commitments.

    Abstract: A person receiving a Voice over IP call, such as a call center agent, remotely controls media settings on a caller's multimedia terminal device functioning as a telephone terminal device. In some embodiments, the call center agent may remotely control media settings by entering a DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency) sequence from the telephone keypad. The DTMF sequence may be recognized by a gateway through which an Internet-to-PSTN call is made, stripped out of the audio stream and sent to the caller's multimedia terminal device in a separate command message through the Internet, or the DTMF sequence may be encoded into packets along with the voice information for detection and translation into a command message by software at the caller's terminal device. In pure VoIP applications, command packets may be sent directly. When a command message is received at the caller's terminal device, software on the end user computer makes the corresponding media setting changes without requiring any intervention on the part of the caller.

    Abstract: A method and system are provided for providing real-time notification and disposition of voice services in a cable television services system. A voice services application server enables communications between one or more telecommunications sources and subscriber set-top boxes in the cable television services system. The voice services application server, in communication with a telecommunications network, enables a subscriber to receive real-time notification of incoming telephone calls on a television connected to a set-top box and to issue disposition instructions for managing the incoming telephone calls. The disposition instructions may include answering a call, not answering a call, or forwarding a call to a voicemail system, or forwarding a call to an alternate telephone number.
