摘要:
A system for monitoring a communication network for actual and potential network problems is provided. The system includes a communication tracking module to track network communications between at least one network-user device and a network service provider device during a predefined time interval. The network communications are based upon a user-supplied indication of a network problem. The system also includes a report generating module to generate a report based upon the network communications tracked, and a threshold determination module to determine whether the number of network communications exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A method for reporting and responding to dial-up connectivity problems can include the step of establishing a voice connection between a caller and an automated response system. The caller can be automatically prompted for a dial-up access number that is problematic for the caller. A determination can be automatically made as to whether the received dial-up access number is valid. A potential problem can be automatically reported to a network operations center responsible for the access number via a data connection. The caller can be automatically presented with at least one alternative dial-up access number via the voice connection.
摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for automating network performance to a customer support department that includes a passive listening device configured to monitor portions of a communication network. A performance database may be coupled to the passive listening device and configured to store network performance data. A customer relations module may be included and configured to receive a subscriber inquiry and to identify at least one monitored component of a communication network that affects the subscriber. The module may retrieve performance data on one or more components of the communication network to provide customer-specific communication performance data to the subscriber and/or the agent assisting the subscriber.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a method to monitor service outages of a service center, detect a service outage, identify one or more customers affected by the service outage, and assign a credit to each of the affected one or more customers. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A method for an automated voice response system to present access numbers to dial-up Internet users. The automated voice response system can perform the step of establishing a telephony communication with a party responsive to a received telephone call from the party. An indicator a service region within which dial-up Internet access is requested can be received by the automated voice response system. At least one data store can be queried for access numbers associated with the service region. A response to the querying step can be dynamically generated. The generated response can be customized specifically for the telephony communication. When the response includes at least one access number, the included access number or numbers can be presented to the party across the telephone communication.

An account management system (100) is coupled to a service center (101) serving a number of customers (108). The account management system has a communications interface (110), a memory (104), and a controller (102). The controller is programmed to monitor (202) service outages of the service center, detect (204) a service outage, identify (206) one or more customers affected by the service outage, and assign (208) a credit to each of the affected one or more customers.
摘要:
The present invention provides a real-time system and method for monitoring an IVR system. An embedded IVR application monitors the IVR and sends a message in real time to an IVR client each time an IVR activity occurs. An IVR activity can be a receipt of a call or an input selection from a user, an IVR disconnect or another IVR action. The IVR application communicates in real time with the external client by sending and receiving messages in real time between the client and the IVR. The client also communicates with external systems that monitor IVR activity and apply business rules to the IVR activity. The business rules are applied to review the IVR activity to determine appropriate IVR responses and calculate network parameters such as a real time churn rate.
