Abstract:
A system and method for asynchronous conversation routing and tracing that allows a client and agent to connect and reconnect to one another over a discontinuous engagement. The system and method facilitate this by allowing multiple methods of communication between the client and agent, including live communications and out-of-band communications. All communications between a client and agent are tied to a client case accessible by the agent, and the client case can include context and environmental data to further assist the agent or to route a customer service call to an appropriate agent. At any time, the client or agent can send out-of-band messages to one another to advance the customer service process, or the client or agent can seek to re-establish live communication with each other. This provides the client with a consistent point of contact not easily supportable with phone based call centers where support is single-threaded.
Abstract:
A cloud-based video/audio conferencing system and method performs locale based aggregation of a full duplex media stream to organize multiple connections to a conference call that originate from the same physical location or a shared locale. The cloud-based video/audio conferencing system performs synchronization of the microphone and speaker audio signals of the same-locale connections. In this manner, a conference call may be held with multiple user devices making connections from the same physical location. User experience is enhanced by allowing each user in the same location to use his/her own individual devices to connect to the same conference call.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of sharing documents during a conference call data is disclosed. One example method may include initiating a document sharing operation during a conference call conducted between at least two participants communicating during the conference call. The method may also include transferring the document from one of the two participants to another of the two participants, and recording at least one action performed to the document by the participants during the conference call.
Abstract:
An automatic call synchronization system and method, in which a mobile terminal (101) transmits, when receiving an incoming calling signal and determining that an automatic call synchronization function is turn on, to a wireless signal transponder (104) a call synchronization request carrying the identification information of the mobile terminal (101) and the call information; the pattern recognizer (103), which is connected with the wireless signal transponder (104), authenticates the mobile terminal (101) according to the identification information of the mobile terminal (101), and transmits to a fixed terminal (102) a call access request carrying the identification information of the mobile terminal (101) and the call information through the wireless signal transponder (104) after the authentication is successful; the fixed terminal (102) calls the user of the mobile terminal (101) according to the identification information and the call information, and transmits, when the call is answered by the user using the fixed terminal (102), to the wireless signal transponder (104) a call access response and implements the conversation through a fixed phone operation network matched with the fixed terminal (102). In this way, the call charge may be saved, and automatically performing the call synchronization has flexibility and convenience, thus bringing convenience to the user.
Abstract:
The method and system make it possible for devices that may not be co-located to capture information such as images, videos, text, audio, speech, location, etc. and create a composite image therefrom. The method and system includes a session initiated by one of the devices to other devices through a central server and/or by peer-to-peer network to synchronize the capture of information across all the devices. The method and system makes it possible to either synchronize the capture of information at each device or allow for preset time differences when each device captures information or allow for such time differences to be random or otherwise uncontrolled.
Abstract:
A virtual environment server records and broadcasts a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), browser state information, and optionally clipping parameters, that are to be associated with a three dimensional (3D) surface in a virtual environment. When a user's Avatar encounters the 3D surface in the virtual environment, the client obtains the URL and browser state information, and obtains the web content using a standard web browser. The web content is stored into an off-screen buffer. The content from the off-screen buffer is then rendered locally as a texture map onto the 3D surface of the virtual environment. Whenever one of the users interacts with the web content, a new URL and new browser state information is used to obtain the updated web content in the same way. The new URL and new browser state information is also passed from the client to the server, so that the server may update the URL and new browser state information in each of the other clients associated with each of the other users.
Abstract:
A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process for allowing at least part of display content of a second terminal apparatus included in multiple terminal apparatuses to be displayed on at least a portion of a display screen of a first terminal apparatus included in the multiple terminal apparatuses in such a manner that the first terminal apparatus is in a synchronous state. The process includes acquiring first operation content indicating content of an operation performed by a first user on the first terminal apparatus; and modifying, in a case where the first operation content indicates content of an operation of modifying display content displayed on the first terminal apparatus in synchronization with the second terminal apparatus and indicates content of a predetermined operation, the display content displayed on the first terminal apparatus to display content corresponding to the first operation content.
Abstract:
We describe a system for automatic setup of an audio/computer teleconference. The system comprises node units each having a phone connection, a telephone network connection, at least one computer network connection; and a system control server. The node unit comprises code to: transmit an outgoing audio announce message into a potential conference call via said telephone network audio connection, identifying the node unit; receive via the network audio connection an incoming audio announce message from a conference call to which the node unit is already connected; determine from the incoming message, an identifier for a remote node unit connecting to the conference call; and transmit to the server, via the computer network, identifiers for the local and remote node units. The server comprises code to: receive the node unit identifiers and provide computer equipment connection data to computer equipment at node.
Abstract:
A method for network initiated redial comprising the steps of receiving, at a network subsystem, from a first mobile device a request to establish a first call with a second mobile device at a time T0; notifying the first mobile device about an unsuccessful attempt of establishing the first call with the second mobile device; the method further comprises the step of registering, at the network subsystem, an unsuccessful first call attempt between the first mobile device and the second mobile device at a time T0; receiving, at a network subsystem, from the second mobile device a request to establish a second call with the first mobile device at a time T3; notifying the second mobile device about an unsuccessful attempt of establishing a second call with the first mobile device; registering, at the network subsystem, an unsuccessful second call attempt between the second mobile device and the first mobile device at a time T3; verifying whether there occurred a simultaneous or substantially simultaneous calls situation between the first call and the second call; establishing a network initiated call between the first mobile device and the second mobile device when there occurred a simultaneous or substantially simultaneous calls situation between the first call and the second call.
