    摘要: A method and system for coordinating media and messaging operations in an information processing system includes the ability for streaming media and messages in an information processing system from a switching mechanism to a plurality of user nodes. The invention receives a plurality of unsynchronized media and messages from said plurality of user nodes in a synchronizer. Instructions of the present invention further control the streaming of media and messages from said switching mechanism to said plurality of user nodes using said synchronizer. Streaming media may include, for example, chat, audio and video elements, video conference transmissions, teleconference transmissions, and combinations of such media elements.

    摘要: A real time chat server (610) not only maintains the chat session but also synchronizes the browse and chat functions by dynamically linking the browser and chat applications to allow the contents of the browser window and the chat window to change in a coordinated manner. The chat server is built from a number of core software objects, namely user objects (616, 618), connection objects, and room objects (612, 614). In this way, multiple users' browsers may be connected into one powerful distributed chat/HTTP server and all such users are able to fully interact with one another in a coordinated manner via type-written messages, HTML web documents, and file transfers.

    摘要: Multiple communication types are integrated into a call center. The communication types can be chat, email, Internet Protocol (IP) voice, traditional telephone, web page, digital image, digital video and other types. Features of the invention include allowing a single agent to handle multiple customers on multiple channels, or “endpoints.” Prioritizing and assigning calls to agents based on a specific criteria such as the number of endpoints assigned to an agent, the agent's availability, the priority of a customer call, the efficiency of a given agent and the agent's efficiency at handling a particular communication type call. An agent user inteface is described that allows the agent to have control over accepting multiple calls. The agent can drag and drop canned responses, images, URLs, or other information into a window for immediate display on a customer's computer. The system provides for detailed agent performance tracking. The system provides failure recovery by using a backup system. If the network server fails, then the customer is connected directly to an agent. When a failed computer comes back on line, the statistics gathered are then used to synchronize the returned computer. The system provides extensive call recording or “data wake” information gathering. The system provides flexibility in transferring large amounts of historic and current data from one agent to another, and from storage to an active agent. The system integrates human agents' knowledge with an automated knowledge base. The system provides for an agent updating, or adding, to the knowledge base in real time. The system also provides for “blending” of different communication types.

    摘要: In a method for real time network chat, TCP/IP connections are established between a plurality of clients and a host. Respective real time communications protocol connections such as telnet or IRC are established over the TCP/IP connections, and a message is sent from one of the clients to at least one of the other clients through the host using the respective real time communications protocol connections therebetween. The message, which includes one or more instructions in a markup language such as html, for example, is parsed in the receiving chat client, which displays the message in accordance with the markup language instructions contained therein. Where the markup language instruction is a hyperlink, the telnet chat client receiving the message from the host communicates the URL associated with the hyperlink to a Web browser under user control, and the Web browser requests and receives the desired Web document.
