    摘要: A system and method for enhanced tracking of calls resulting from referrals to a website from third party servers includes the steps of identifying a tracking parameter, dynamically allocating a phone number to the tracking parameter, displaying the dynamically allocated number on a web page, and tracking calls received on the number. The dynamically allocated number may replace an existing number on the web page. The tracking parameter can be a keyword used in a search, an identifier of the referring website, or any other parameter, including combinations thereof. The tracking parameter may be included in the referring URL, the URL of the website, or in the body of a web page. In some embodiments, the call tracking capability is provided by a service provider other than an operator of the merchant website and JavaScript is used so that the process is easy to implement by the merchant website.

    摘要: In one method and apparatus for blocking unwanted calls in a callback system, parameters associated with a callback request (e.g., the user device to which the call is to be directed, the IP address from which the request originated or an identifier of the source computer from which the callback request originated, the party from whom the call is requested) are tracked for each call. A decision to automatically block the requested callback is made based on one or more criteria based on a combination of these parameters, which may be a total over a period of time. In a second method, one or both of the parties to the callback is queried as to whether the callback is unwanted and, if so, one or more parameters associated with the request are blacklisted.

    摘要: In an emergency backup telephone system, members of an enterprise use their personal computers to log into an emergency communications web page. Upon logging in, software that enables the personal computer to act as a webphone is automatically downloaded. This software allows a person to initiate a call from personal computer to a conventional PSTN number destination using a PSTN gateway, or to another party's computer at a specified URL using VoIP telephony. Upon logging in, an authoritative index of employees reachable via the backup system updated to include information such as a phone number and/or IP address where the member can be reached in order to allow calls originating from the PSTN to be routed to the member's computer. The index is made available to other members of the enterprise via the enterprise's intranet, and, in some embodiments, to the public via a web page on the internet and/or email.

    摘要: A method and system for placing a call back from a call center to an end user viewing a website includes sending a request for the call back from an end user computer to a call server, the request including the PSTN number at which the end user wishes to be called; placing calls to the end user and the call center, the call center call including the ANI/callerID of the number at which the end user is called; requesting by the call center data concerning the end user from the call server; receiving by the call server data from the end user computer; and transmitting the data from the call server to the call center. The data from the end user computer may be an identification of the web page being viewed, data entered on the web page, an end user identifier and/or co-browsing data.

    摘要: A streaming media application attempting to establish a streaming media connection first attempts to establish the connection directly using a format such as UDP. If no direct connection can be established, the media application attempts to establish a connection through a proxy server using proxy server information obtained from installed software components such as browsers that manage Internet connections. If necessary, an auto configuration web page is utilized to obtain the proxy server address. The invention also includes methods for blocking streaming media connections.

    摘要: An data packet network telephony system provides identification information of an end user terminal making an Internet telephone call to a call center terminal and provides a call center agent with the ability to cause an end user terminal making an Internet telephone call to display selected web pages and or to synchronize displays between the agent and end user terminals. In one embodiment, customer identification information is provided in-band. In another embodiment, customer identification information is accomplished out of band, in some cases using an identifier of the PSTN gateway as an index into a table to identify an end user terminal. In another embodiment, an agent may enter DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency tones) to push web pages to an end user terminal. In still other embodiments, a second communications link between the end user terminal and the agent's terminal is established, allowing for data sharing/synchronization.
