    摘要: A monitoring system and method for substantially automatically monitoring active incoming telephone calls being routed through a telephone switch, such as an automatic call distributor (ACD). The monitoring system includes a timing circuit which measures the length of time of each of the active incoming telephone calls routed through the ACD. The length of time of the active calls are sent to an organizing circuit which organized the calls in order of decreasing duration. Each of the active calls are then monitored by decreasing duration at a supervisor telephone. Concomitantly, a display video circuit sends a unique identification code to a supervisor terminal uniquely identifying the agent who is handling the currently monitored call. The calls to be monitored are further defined by selecting a call exceed duration value. Until the length of a call exceeds or equals the call exceed duration value, the call is not monitored.

    摘要: An apparatus 200 and method for detecting when an interruption occurs between an agent associated with a telephonic switch, such as an automatic call distributor 100, and a caller during an incoming telephone call. The automatic call distributor 100 routes incoming telephone calls generated by callers at external telephonic units 102 to agents located at agent telephonic units 106. Additional information concerning incoming telephone calls is displayed to the agents on agent terminals 118. The apparatus 200 includes a detection circuit 210 for detecting when an agent and a caller are concomitantly talking during an incoming telephone call. A caller audio signal detector 216 detects caller audio signals representative of the speech of a caller on a first bus 204 in the automatic call distributor 100. Similarly, an agent audio signal detector 222 detects agent audio signals representative of the speech of an agent on a second bus 208 in the automatic call distributor 100. When speech is simultaneously detected on both the first and second busses 204 and 208, an interruption has occurred. Detected interruptions may be reported to a supervisor via supervisor terminal 108 and/or to the agent via agent terminal 118.

    摘要: A system and method for providing informative communications while a connection is being established between two communications devices, such as computers or facsimile machines. The method includes suppressing audio tones that are sent between the modems and presenting information to a user of the communications device while the connection is being established. The information includes advertisements, music, movie clips, news headlines, sports scores, stock quotes, weather, time of day, calendar reminders, horoscopes, and inspirational sayings. Such information is more informative to the user than the traditional audio tones utilized by the modems and therefore are suppressed in an embodiment of the current invention.

    摘要: A method and system (100) establishes voice communications between a computer operator (102) and an agent (104) of a business over a computer network, such as the Internet (108). Using an operator computer (106), the computer operator (102) views advertisements of the business' products or services on the Internet (108) via customized home pages (200). When the operator (102) wishes to order a product or ask additional questions about a product, the operator (102) activates a “call me” button (210). A return call screen (300) is then presented to the operator (102) with areas to insert a name (302), a telephone number (304) and a time to call (306). This information is packetized in a call request which is transmitted over the Internet (108) to a telephone switching system (112) associated with the business. The telephone switching system (112) subsequently dials the telephone number (304) at the time to call (306). When the operator (102) answers an operator telephone (120), the telephone switching system (112) connects the operator (102) with the agent (104) via an agent telephone (118). The telephone switching system (112) may be comprised of a telephone computer (114) and an automatic call distributor (116).

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for identifying a call record of a telephone call to be overflowed from a source automatic call distributor to a destination automatic call distributor. The call record is of a type having been previously stored under a call identifier of the source automatic call distributor in a memory of the host computer serving both the source automatic call distributor and destination automatic call distributor in an area of the memory reserved for the source automatic call distributor. The method includes the step of storing a call action provided message in a call overflow table of the host computer including the call identifier of the telephone call and an identifier of the source automatic call distributor. The method further includes the step of transferring an overflow request to the destination automatic call distributor including the call identifier and searching the overflow table using the call identifier transferred to the destination automatic call distributor to locate the identifier of the source automatic call distributor. Finally, the method includes the step of locating the call record using the call identifier and located identifier of the source automatic call distributor.
