    摘要: A method for delivering electronic mail (e-mail) messages over a cable television distribution network comprises the steps of: accepting e-mail messages addressed to e-mail subscribers of the cable television distribution network; respectively associating each the e-mail message with data identifying one of the subscribers; adding an address header from the data identifying the subscribers to each the e-mail message corresponding to the premises of the respective e-mail subscriber; transmitting the e-mail messages and address headers for transmission over the cable distribution network simultaneously with television signals but in a predefined frequency band not carrying the television signals; receiving all e-mail messages transmitted over of the cable television distribution network at each respective premises of the e-mail subscribers; decoding the address headers of the e-mail messages; determining from the address headers whether the e-mail message is addressed to the respective premises; and, if the e-mail is addressed to the respective premises, displaying the e-mail message. The e-mail message can be encrypted prior to transmission with a code from the data identifying the respective subscriber and subsequently decrypting at the subscriber's premises. A stand-alone mailbox for receiving the e-mail messages comprises: a demodulator for receiving all e-mail messages transmitted over of the cable television distribution network; a decoder for the address headers and the e-mail messages; a comparator for determining if the address header of any of the e-mail messages matches an address of the premises for which the mailbox is coded; and, a display for the e-mail messages.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a contact center with speaker identification and verification (SIV) capabilities. In the invention, a set of contact center components can provide automated interactive communications with callers, can provide queue management for callers waiting to communicate with live agents, and can provide skills based routing for assigning live agents to callers. The SIV component can analyze speech utterances to determine a speaker identify based upon biometric characteristics of the analyzed speech utterances. Additionally, the SIV component can process speech from contact center sessions. In one embodiment, the SIV component can prevent agent substitutions from occurring of which the call center is unaware. The SIV component can also be used to distinguish whether communication session content was spoken by a contact center agent or a caller.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a presence management system for a contact center including a presence server, a data store, and one or more watchers. The presence server can accept, manage, and distribute presence information using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based messages in conformance with an open standard, such as an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) based standard. The data store can be communicatively linked to the presence server and can be configured to store the presence information. The stored presence information can include presence information for multiple contact center agents, wherein for each agent the stored presence information includes an element for expertise of the associated agent. The watchers can subscribe to the presence information managed by the presence server. Each of the watchers can correspond to a unique expertise. The watcher associated with an expertise can watch presence information for all of the contact center agents having that expertise.

    摘要: The present solution can include a method for using dialog contracts for contact center interactions. The method can include a step of determining a context that applies to a caller who is communicating with a contact center. A dialog contract can be identified that corresponds to the determined context. The dialog contract can specify requirements for a real-time contact center session. The contact center can transfer the caller to a contact center agent. The real-time communication session can be conducted. A software program, referred to as an agent monitor, can analyze input of the caller and the contact center agent during the communication session and can automatically update a session file as requirements of the dialog contract are satisfied. The session file can be used as a quality measurement of the communication session.

    摘要: Determining and storing at least one validated results set in a global ontology database for future use by an entity that subscribes to the global ontology database. If global ontology data is stored in a global ontology database, attempt to determine a mapping between first and second ontologies. If a mapping between the first and second ontologies can be determined from the global ontology data, the mapping is validated and the validated mapping is defined as a validated results set. If global ontology data is not stored in a global ontology database or a mapping between the first and second ontologies can not be determined from global ontology data stored in the global ontology database, the first and second ontologies are unified by determining a mapping between the first and second ontologies, the mapping is validated and the validated mapping is defined as a validated results set. The validated results set is stored in the global ontology database for future use by an entity that subscribes to the global ontology database.
