    Abstract: An integrated router (IR) in a call center monitors and controls both a telephony switch receiving and forwarding connection-oriented, switched telephony (COST) calls and a Data Network Telephony (DNT) processor receiving and forwarding DNT calls. The one IR consults a common data repository storing status of agents on both types of calls, and routes all calls according to a single set of rules, which can take a variety of forms. In one embodiment telephones at agent stations are adapted to handle both OST and DNT calls.

    Abstract: A telephony call center system comprises an Internet connection adapted for receiving data from a WEB server, the data originating from the computer platform of a person browsing the Internet, including data identifying the browsing person, such as a telephone number, and indicating to the WEB server a desire of the browsing person to communicate with an agent at the call center. The communication desired may be (a) a request for an agent at the call center to receive a telephone call from the browsing person, or (b) a request for a call to be placed to the browsing person from the call center. In both (a) and (b) the practical result is a telephone conference between the browsing person and an agent at the call center. In the first instance (a), in response to the data from the WEB server to the call center, the call center provides to the WEB server, for transfer to the browsing person via the Internet, a telephone number of a routing point at the call center. The call center selects an agent, and initiates a watch for an arriving call from the browsing person. On arrival of the call, it is switched to the selected agent. In the other instance (b), in response to the data, the call center enters the browsing person's telephone number to a dialer, and when the dialer completes a call to the browsing person, switched the call to a selected agent.

    Abstract: A telephone call-routing system comprises an initial call-processing unit with a first telephone line adapted for receiving calls from customers, and includes a call-routing processor adapted for routing incoming calls to selected destinations; and a remote call-in center having a computerized telephony switch connected to a plurality of telephones at operator workstations and adapted to route calls to individual ones of the telephones, and also connected by a first outside telephone line to a telephone network. A computer server connected to the telephony switch by a high-speed data link and to the telephone network by a digital network connection is adapted to monitor transactional activity of the computerized telephony switch, to process the activity information according to selected routines, and to communicate processed information to the call-routing processor over the digital network connection, such that the call-routing processor may use the processed information to select destinations to route the incoming calls.

    Abstract: A system for incorporating a remote home agent in a call center is accomplished by the home agent dialing a telephony switch and the telephony switch terminating the home agent's incoming call to a first station side port of the telephony switch. This action provides a continuing connection between the telephony switch and the home agent until the home agent disconnects. Incoming calls selected to go to the home agent may then be switched to the established connection. In one embodiment a physical connection is established between the first station side port to which the home agent is first connected, and a second station side port. Incoming calls selected to go to the home agent are then connected to the second station side port, which is connected to the fist station side port.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for the dynamic processing of royalties are disclosed. Sales records are processed on a transaction basis rather than in batch mode. This process also allows correction of information retroactively, rather than delaying the entire processing of the information. One embodiment includes a system comprising a message broker in communication with a plurality of clients and services, a state machine, a processor and a time manager. The message broker interacts with the processor to execute a common service based on events produced by the state machine. Another embodiment includes a method comprising providing a rate matrix, receiving a sales record from a database and calculating a royalty payment using the sales record and the rate matrix.
