    摘要: According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of allocating calls coming into a call center from a caller location remote from the call center, receiving a call from a caller which includes information from an RFID chip located in close proximity to the caller location; decoding the information from the RFID chip to determine one or more parameters relating to the information; using said one or more parameters to allocate the call from the caller at the call center to ensure calls are handled in accordance with the parameters. This has the advantage of much more efficient management of the of the calls within the call center and ensures that the calls are sent to the agent with the most appropriate skill set.

    摘要: Existing statistics reporting methods tend to be inflexible and difficult for operators to understand and use effectively. A graphical user interface is provided whereby operators are able to view a state/event model of an automated system and using that graphical user interface make changes to existing statistics, define new statistics and analyze existing statistics. As a result of user inputs made at this graphical user interface changes are effected in a statistics reporting application in order to generate actual values of the statistics. In some embodiments Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to provide the state/event model and extensions to UML are described which improve the ability to create and modify definitions of statistics.

    摘要: A method of managing the operation of a contact center comprises monitoring events occurring in the operation of a contact center and maintaining a set of trigger conditions against which monitored events may be matched. A rule set defines, for at least one trigger condition, the identity of one or more users to be contacted when the trigger condition is matched. Upon determining a match between one or more monitored events and one or more trigger conditions, the identity of one or more users associated in the rule set with the matched trigger condition(s) is retrieved from the rule set. The identified users are sent a communication including details permitting the users to access a common collaborative meeting environment.

    摘要: A system for monitoring contact sessions of a contact center. The system comprises a work assignment engine for allocating contacts received at the contact center to resources of the contact center and a monitoring module, arranged to detect an allocation of a contact to a resource to determine a skill requirement of the contact. The work assignment engine is further arranged to fork a session between an originator of the contact and the resource, to a monitor resource, in response to the detected skill requirement satisfying a monitor resource skill requirement.

    摘要: A method for replaying a portion of a multi-party audio interaction to a participant of the audio interaction. A participant of a multi-party audio interaction, such as a conference call or a gaming session, can request a replay of a portion of the audio interaction. A conference processor can provide an outgoing audio stream to the participant that includes a replay audio stream that includes the requested replayed portion of the multi-party audio interaction and a real-time audio stream that includes the ongoing multi-party audio interaction. The replay audio stream can be aurally positioned at an aural position that is different from the real-time audio stream to enhance the participant's ability to distinguish between the two audio streams.

    摘要: A method and system for designating an aural position of an audio stream in a collaboration environment. A plurality of icons corresponding to participants are displayed in a user interface. A moderator may move the icons from a first position in the user interface to a second position in the user interface. Upon moving an icon from a first position to a second position, an aural position identifier corresponding to the second position is generated and sent to a conference processor. The conference processor uses the aural position identifier to generate an outgoing audio stream that aurally positions the audio stream generated by the participant corresponding to the icon at the aural position. The outgoing audio stream is provided to the moderator, who uses a multi-channel capable device to perceive the audio stream at the designated aural position.

    摘要: A method of representing communications sessions in a virtual environment employs a presentation entity which is provided at a location in the environment where it will be visible and/or audible from the observation point of a user with whom a communications session has been requested. The presentation entity, which can represent a character or an object in the environment, for example, presents information to the user from within the environment. Also disclosed is an automated inhabitant which can operated to interact with other inhabitants of such an environment, obtaining information which is passed to and used by a contact center to queue contacts between such other inhabitants and contact center agents.

    摘要: A contact center has an interface with a virtual environment implemented in a computer system. The operation of the contact center includes receiving, from the virtual environment, spatial information relating to the spatial position within the virtual environment of an inhabitant of the virtual environment, and queuing a contact relating to that inhabitant in a queuing system of the contact center. Queuing decisions are based, at least in part, on the spatial information of the inhabitant in the virtual environment.
