摘要： A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for identifying a subscriber home domain in a communication network are described. A national subscriber profile is partitioned into regions and a NAPTR resource record is modified to identify in which region a particular subscriber is located. In response to a calling party requesting that a connection to a called party be established, a database is queried to provide a modified NAPTR record which identifies the region in which the called party is located. A connection can then be established without polling each region.

摘要： A method to shorten hold time experienced by callers to call centers by placing predictive calls into call centers in advance to obtain favorable queue positions, and release the most favorable queue positions to callers when they indicate desires to speak with call center agents by bridging their inbound calls to the favorable positions. Most favorable positions are usually the earliest predictive calls placed that are still in the queue. The method also includes other proactive tasks that may be required to navigate automated ACD or IVR call tree, maintain the active status of call queues to ACD or IVR, detect and treat possible improper disconnection, and detect and remediate premature disconnection between callers and agents.
