Abstract:
Method and apparatus for determining the telephony features assigned to a telephone connected to a central switch. By communicating with the central switch, the telephone generates a list of assigned telephony features. The list of telephony features is stored in a nonvolatile memory and displayed to the telephone user.
Abstract:
A method of managing, in a telecommunication network, user data of a user who may move from a base work area associated with a base exchange which comprises a base memory to another work area associated with another exchange which comprises another memory, independent of whether or not the user is communicating. The method comprises effecting a coupling between the base memory and the another memory when the user moves from the base work area to the another work area; copying a largest portion of the user data stored in the base memory and storing the copied data in the another memory via the coupling, the user data stored in the base memory remaining available for further copying, and changes to be made in the user data taking place both in the base memory and in the another memory. The copied portion of the user data stored in the another memory is inspected for correctness with respect to the user data stored in the base memory and, in the event of correctness of the copied portion of the user data, the portion of the user data stored in the another memory is made available for further copying. Changes to be made in the data take place only in the another memory, and the copied portion of the user data stored in the base memory thereafter becomes unavailable for further copying.
Abstract:
In a voice storage and retrievel system, a controller generates a series of start-point addresses and a series of end-point addresses from a dialled signal sent from a registered subscriber station. The start-point addresses are sequentially stored into a first FIFO and the end-point addresses are successively stored into a second FIFO. The output of the first FIFO is successively supplied as an initial count value to an address generator whose output is connected to a comparator as well as to a voice segment memory, the output of the second FIFO being supplied to the comparator as a reference value. The address generator increments its output beginning with each successive initial value to read voice segments from the voice segment memory for transfer to a line buffer coupled to the subscriber station. When the output of address generator becomes equal to the reference value, the comparator causes the FIFO memories to advance their addresses by one location so that subsequent addresses appear at their respective outputs. An end-of-block detect counter is provided to detect when the line buffer is full to cause it to read the voice segments therefrom for transmission to the subscriber station.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing including a first face and a second face, a second housing including a third face and a fourth face, a folding part rotatably connecting the first housing and the second housing, a flexible display disposed on the first face and the third face, a camera exposed through at least a portion of the fourth face, a memory configured to store instructions, and a processor configured to determine an orientation of the electronic device and a direction in which the camera is pointed while a camera application is executed, identify the first area or the second area as an area in which a preview image acquired through the camera is displayed based at least on the determined direction and the determined orientation, and display the preview image, acquired through the camera, in the identified area using the flexible display.
Abstract:
A system and method for establishing a communication with a customer by an agent, via one or more communication modes includes an agent computer and a second computer. The agent computer receives an identify notification that enables the agent computer to identify a customer for the communication, and receives agent schedule information that enables identifying a schedule timeslot of the agent as predicted by the system for a communication session. The second computer provides the identify notification enabling the agent computer to identify the identified customer. The system predicts the schedule timeslot of the agent, by taking into account a number of agent based touches that may need to be executed.

Abstract:
Techniques for behavioral pairing in a contact center system are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for pairing in a contact center including ordering one or more contacts, ordering one or more agents, comparing a first difference in ordering between a first contact and a first agent in a first pair with a second difference in ordering between a second contact and a second agent in a second pair, and selecting the first pair or the second pair for connection based on the comparing, wherein the first contact and the second contact are different or the first agent and the second agent are different.

Techniques for benchmarking pairing strategies in a contact center system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for benchmarking pairing strategies in a contact center system comprising: determining for each contact of a plurality of contacts, an associated plurality of historical contact assignments; determining, for each contact, an associated outcome value; partitioning, for each contact, the associated plurality of historical assignments into a first associated subset assigned using a first pairing strategy and a second associated subset assigned using a second pairing strategy; determining, for each contact, a first portion of the associated outcome value attributable to the first associated subset and a second portion of the associated outcome value attributable to the second associated subset; and outputting a difference in performance between the first and second pairing strategies according to the first and second associated portions of the associated outcome value for each contact.
