    摘要: The present invention is a method and system for reducing bandwidth usage in a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) network that uses holding sounds such as music or announcements. When a customer call enters the network through a gateway, the call is received by a media server (VMS) and a workflow is started. When the workflow determines that the customer call is to be put on hold, the VMS sends an instruction signal to the gateway, instructing the gateway to provide an on-hold music or announcement to the customer call. When the workflow determines that the customer call is to be taken off hold, the VMS sends a second instruction signal to the gateway and the gateway stops the music or announcements and proceeds to further process the call under the direction of the workflow.

    摘要: A communications system (10) is provided which comprises a plurality of network hubs (12), (14), and (16). Network hubs (12), (14), and (16) are interconnected through a communications network (18). The system (10) interconnects messaging systems (24), (26), (28), (30), (32), (34), (36), (40), (42) and (44) having disparate capabilities and using disparate communications protocols. The network hubs use numbers of connection processors (52) and (54) to interact with the messaging systems. A hub database (68) and message store (58) are used to store control information and messaging information within the network hubs. A network processor (60) is used to interact with other hubs within the communications system (10). A message router (72), connection manager (74), data replicator (76), and an administrative event manager (78) are used to control the operations of-the hub in processing a message. A management server (64) and a event processor (70) are used by communications system (10) to manage the internal operations of each of the network, hubs. The network center (37) contains a customer computer interface system (167) and an interactive voice response system (169) to allow user interaction with information provider databases (39), a customer service system (161), a message tracking system (163), a billing system (159), and a HelpLine system (157). The network center (37) contains a master database (151) that is used to synchronize the databases stored in each of the network hubs (12), (14), and (16).

    摘要: The present invention is a system and method of receiving realtime and non-realtime communications from customers, distributing those communications efficiently to an appropriate agent and providing a response to the communication within an appropriate time. The present invention utilizes a hub and node architecture where realtime communications such as a voice call entering the architecture are received by a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) gateway before being sent to a voice server. Other realtime and non-realtime communications are received by an appropriate media server. Routers for each media type access a predetermined set of routing data with an application server through a corporate and CRM database to facilitate routing through a node router to the appropriate node and agent.
