    摘要: A computerized telephony call center for serving a customer base has a central switch connected to a plurality of telephones at operator workstations and adapted to route calls to individual ones of the telephones, and also connected to a public switched telephone network, and a first processor connected to the central switch by a high-speed data link and to the telephone network by a digital network connection. The first processor is adapted to monitor transactional activity of the central switch, to process the activity information according to selected routines in the processor, and to communicate processed information to a second processor over the digital network connection. The digital network connection may be a TCP\IP connection. In a preferred embodiment the first processor is connected by a local area network (LAN) to network interfaces including a video display unit (VDU) and input apparatus proximate individual ones of the plurality of telephones connected to the central switch. In some embodiments the LAN is also connected to a data server running an instance of a database. In other embodiments the call center, and other similar call centers are all part of a call routing system wherein calls are routed from Service Control Points to call centers over telephone lines, and data is routed to the call centers over a separate digital network connection between processors coupled to the Service Control Points and to the call center central switches. In various embodiments aspects of the invention apply to Internet protocol network telephony (IPNT) calls as well as to conventional telephony calls.

    摘要: A personal telephone call router adapted to execute on a personal computer (PC) connected to a local area network (LAN) wherein the LAN is also connected to a computerized telephony switching system has a graphic user interface allowing an individual user to route incoming calls from his/her PC by drag-and-drop techniques. In some embodiments the user may also customize routing rules for incoming calls. In preferred embodiments incoming calls are directed in the telephony switch to a virtual routing destination. In some cases each individual user is associated with a specific virtual destination, and in others data associated with each call is broadcast on the LAN to be filtered at each PC on the Lan running a personal router according to an embodiment of the invention.

    摘要: A personal telephone all router adapted to execute on a personal computer (PC) connected to a local area network (LAN) wherein the LAN is also connected to a computerized telephony switching system has a user interface allowing an individual user to customize routing rules for incoming calls. The interface in a preferred embodiment is a window displayable on a computer screen of the PC, allowing the user to review and edit personal routing rules in a high-level language. Data, such as caller ID and the like, associated with incoming calls received at the computerized telephony switching system is broadcast on the LAN prior to routing the incoming calls, and the broadcast data is utilized by individual editions of the personal telephone call router to prepare and send routing instructions on the LAN to the computerized switching system to route the incoming calls.

    摘要: A telephone call distribution system for determining destination for an incoming telephone call in a telephony network including a service control point (SCP) operates with a plurality of workstations each comprising a telephone coupled to the telephony network and a proximate computer station having a video display unit (PC/VDU), the PC/VDU connected to the SCP via a wide area network (WAN), and a personal router associated with each PC/VDU. The SCP broadcasts data pertaining to the incoming telephone call and a request for a destination to individual ones of the PC/VDUs via the WAN, and the personal routers negotiate a destination based on individual routing rules and the data pertaining to the call. At least one of the individual routers responds to the SCP with a destination for the call. In some instances the workstations are associated with a call center, and the call center may be CTI-enhanced. Individual routers in this instance may be executed on a server on a local area network connecting workstations at the call center, the server providing individual routers to workstations in a client-server relationship.
