    Abstract: A data acquisition and remote administration system for use during a communication session between at least one client computer and a computerized voice mail server computer system with the at least one client computer and the voice mail server computer system each having a mechanism for establishing a communication link therebetween with the means for establishing a communication link including address and connection information necessary to establish the communication link. The client computer has an application component and includes a mechanism for logging into the voice mail server computer system, once the communication link is established, for authorizing access to information of the voice mail server computer system. Once access is authorized, the system has a mechanism for requesting information, stored in an internal data base of the voice mail server computer system via use of a KERMIT data transfer protocol. The voice mail server computer system receives the KERMIT data transfer protocol and compiles a data set from the internal data base of the voice mail server computer system and transmits the compiled data set to the client computer using the KERMIT data transfer protocol. The client computer includes a mechanism for receiving the complied data set from the voice mail server computer system and storing the complied data set in a temporary storage area prior to sending the received data set to the application component.

    Abstract: An data packet network telephony system provides identification information of an end user terminal making an Internet telephone call to a call center terminal and provides a call center agent with the ability to cause an end user terminal making an Internet telephone call to display selected web pages and or to synchronize displays between the agent and end user terminals. In one embodiment, customer identification information is provided in-band. In another embodiment, customer identification information is accomplished out of band, in some cases using an identifier of the PSTN gateway as an index into a table to identify an end user terminal. In another embodiment, an agent may enter DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency tones) to push web pages to an end user terminal. In still other embodiments, a second communications link between the end user terminal and the agent's terminal is established, allowing for data sharing/synchronization.

    Abstract: A user defines their own call-coverage path (141) or other call-processing information by drawing a graphical flowchart (200) using an interactive GUI of a PC-based software application (140). Once the flowchart is drawn, it is activated with the push of a button, and that flowchart is now the logic that is applied to a user's coverage path. The call-coverage path (the flowchart) remains resident on the user's PC (103) and the communications switching system (101) retrieves call-coverage information from the PC whenever it must perform call coverage for that user. A plurality of different flowcharts may be drawn and stored on the PC, and then recalled and activated at any time as the present call-coverage path for the user. A call-coverage path may be activated by and/or for the user from anywhere on a LAN (104), WAN, or the Internet, so that the call-coverage path my be controlled remotely. Furthermore, the coverage-path system has the ability to consult with an on-line personal scheduling system 145 (such as a calendar program) executing on the user's PC or another machine networked with the user's PC. A call-coverage path may then be administered to contain logic (203) that refers to the personal scheduling system to obtain data, rather than having to have the data defined within the coverage-path system itself.

    Abstract translation: 用户通过使用基于PC的软件应用(140)的交互式GUI绘制图形流程图(200)来定义他们自己的呼叫覆盖路径(141)或其他呼叫处理信息。 一旦绘制了流程图,它就会按下一个按钮来激活,该流程图现在是应用于用户覆盖路径的逻辑。 呼叫覆盖路径(流程图)保持驻留在用户的PC(103)上,并且通信交换系统(101)每当必须对该用户执行呼叫覆盖时从PC检索呼叫覆盖信息。 可以将多个不同的流程图绘制并存储在PC上,然后在任何时间被调用并激活为用户的当前呼叫覆盖路径。 呼叫覆盖路径可以由LAN(104),WAN或因特网上的任何地方由用户和/或用户激活,使得我的远程控制呼叫覆盖路径。 此外,覆盖路径系统能够查询在用户的PC上执行的在线个人调度系统145(例如日历程序)或者与用户的PC联网的另一个机器。 然后可以管理呼叫覆盖路径以包含参考个人调度系统以获得数据的逻辑(203),而不是必须在覆盖路径系统本身内定义数据。

    Abstract: A telephony call center has agent workstations having telephones connected to station-side ports of a telephone switching apparatus adapted to receive and switch conventional telephone calls to the telephones, and also computer platforms connected on a local area network (LAN). A processor also connected on the LAN has a wide area network (WAN) port and is adapted to receive and distribute computer-simulated telephone calls from the WAN to computer platforms at the agent stations. At individual agent stations the telephone and computer platform is connected by a Telephone Application Programming Interface (TAPI)-compliant bridge. Status of calls of both types at agent workstations is communicated to a network-level router by the processor having a WAN connection, which may also receive computer-simulated calls. The router may then make routing decisions based on agent status relative to both kinds of calls.

    Abstract: A call re-directing system associated with a call center integrates an interface on a computer station at an agent station having a telephone, a CTI-application executing on a processor connected to a telephony switch, and an DSP-controller to operate with Transfer Connect protocols for re-directing misrouted telephone calls. In a preferred embodiment, data associated with a call is transferred to the new destination of a re-routed call and re-associated with the call.

    Abstract: An automated monitoring system monitors telephone resources in a call center. The call center may include agent stations at which agents are stationed to handle calls. A monitoring server monitors calling activity by the agents to maintain state information about the agents and to gather statistics about the calling activity of the agents. These statistics are forwarded to a client program run on a workstation or other type of computer system. The client program provides a graphical user interface and depicts the state information about the agents as part of the interface. The graphical user interface may also display statistics regarding the calling activity of agents, agent supervisors, business clients of the call center, and the call center in aggregate.
