    摘要: In a contact center, a system for processing communication events has an interaction server for managing events waiting to be routed, a routing server for routing the events, a rules engine, and a gateway server executing rules invocation logic and interacting with the rules engine. The interaction server tracks incoming events, initiates and sends a routing request to the routing server, including a special routing object, for each event that requires conformance to business rules, the routing server, executing the routing object, sends an execution request to the gateway server, which upon receipt of the request prepares a business object model (BOM), being a set of facts upon which the rules engine executes rules appropriate to the facts, resulting in routing direction for the routing server to route the event.

    摘要: A method for converging telephone numbers and Idata addresses follows the steps of (a) accessing from a first memory location of a communication appliance one of an E.164 telephone number or an IPv6 address; (b) using the E.164 criteria of [Country Code-Identification Code-Subscriber Number 1-Subscriber Number 2-Extension-Ext2-Ext3] for a telephone number, converting that number to an IPv6 hexadecimal notation IP address in the format [ : : : :[ ]:[ :[ ]], and converting in the reverse for an IP address to a telephone number; (c) storing the telephone number or address in a separate memory location of the appliance; and (d) depending on the nature of a communication session initiated by a user, retrieving the appropriate IP address or telephone number as the destination for the communication.

    摘要: A system for managing resource commitment in a contact center includes: a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that cause the processor to: receive over a shared data communications channel a request for contact center resources, wherein the request is for handling activities for the contact center having an activity type; transmit a signal to initiate a raise round according to the request over the data communications channel to a pool of resources registered to communicate on the data communications channel; receive a plurality of volunteer signals from a plurality of volunteering resources from the pool of resources; select one or more of the plurality of the volunteering resources for fulfilling the request; and transmit a message to the selected volunteering resources for committing the selected volunteering resources to the request, wherein the committed resources are selected for routing an activity having the activity type.

    摘要: A method for automatically generating a grouping of resources of a customer contact center includes: identifying, by a processor, one or more resource groups, each of the resource groups including a plurality of customer contact center resources; predicting, by the processor, for each of the one or more resource groups, a predicted performance metric of the resource group in accordance with the one or more customer contact center resources of the resource group; identifying, by the processor, a particular resource group of the one or more resource groups having a corresponding predicted performance satisfying a threshold performance among the one or more resource groups; and outputting, by the processor, the particular resource group.
