    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 network-based system for distributing object-oriented CTI scripts is provided. The system includes, at least one source communication center enabled with an object-oriented-programming-system for generating and distributing the CTI scripts, at least one receiving communication center enabled with an object-oriented-programming-system for receiving and implementing the CTI scripts, an instance of a descriptor-language-converter application installed and operational within the source communication center and an instance of the descriptor-language-converter application installed and operational within receiving communication center. The source center creates the CTI script using its own object-oriented-programming-system, converts the object-oriented script into a descriptor language using the descriptor-language-converter, and distributes the descriptor-language script over the network and, wherein the receiving communication center receives the descriptor-language script and interpreting the language, regenerates a version of the original CTI script using its own object-oriented-programming-system. In preferred embodiments, XML language is used as the descriptor-language. In other embodiments, other descriptor languages may be used.

    摘要: The present invention takes advantage of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology by introducing VoIP-based call center telephony equipment that is software-based and runs on inexpensive off-the-shelf personal computer (PC) systems. With the VoIP-based call center system of the present invention, the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is coupled to a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) gateway in order to convert all incoming traditional telephone communication into VoIP based telephony telecommunication. This is performed using the well-known SIP telephony protocol set forth in RFC 3261. Once converted to the VoIP format, the incoming VoIP-based calls are directed to the VoIP based Call Center Server system. The Call Center Server system provides all the sophisticated call center features that were formerly only available in large call centers created with specialized expensive telephone equipment
