Abstract:
Techniques for providing a method and system for trunk independent gateway transfer of calls are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a computer implemented method, comprising receiving a call transfer request for a call at a gateway and determining, using a processor of the gateway, whether a trunk to be used for transferring the call requires a transfer command. In the event the trunk requires transfer command, the techniques comprise generating a transfer command, and transferring the call using the transfer command.
Abstract:
A system for and method of system for performing dynamic extension assignment is presented. In one exemplary embodiment, the method may comprise receiving, via a network, an extension assignment request associated with a network endpoint, identifying the network endpoint based on one or more properties of the network endpoint, applying one or more rules to identify an extension to be assigned to the network endpoint based on the one or more properties of the endpoint, and assigning the extension to the network endpoint.
Abstract:
Exemplary technical support systems and methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes a media content access device obtaining technical support request information from a user, encoding data representative of the technical support request information into a barcode, and providing the barcode for display on a display screen associated with the media content access device. The exemplary method may additionally or alternatively include a mobile device capturing an image of the displayed barcode and transmitting data representative of the image to a technical support subsystem. The exemplary method may additionally or alternatively include a technical support subsystem receiving data representative of the image of the barcode, decoding the barcode code to obtain the technical support request information, and performing one or more technical support operations in response to the technical support request information. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A system for and method of information encoding is presented. The system and method include encoding information within other information of a protocol, and then decoding the information and performing actions based on the decoded information.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a telephone call at a network device and forwarding the telephone call to a proxy device. The method also includes forwarding the telephone call, from the proxy device, to a first voice portal and determining that telephone call should be transferred to a second voice portal. The method further includes forwarding, by the first voice portal, a transfer request to the network device and forwarding, by the network device, the telephone call to a second voice portal.
Abstract:
Techniques for providing a gateway transfer mechanism are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method, comprising identifying, at a gateway, a call to be routed to a first location, determining whether to transfer the call to a second location, in the event the call is to be transferred to the second location, transferring the call, wherein transferring the call comprises ending a process to route the call to the first location, generating transfer information for the second location, and transferring the call to the second location using the generated transfer information.

Abstract:
A method may include receiving a call from a caller and determining whether the caller has previously called a call center. The method may also include identifying, in response to determining that the caller has previously called the call center, an agent that handled the previous call from the caller, and forwarding the call to the agent that handled the previous call.

Abstract:
A device may include a communication interface to receive messages, a skills database that includes a skills schedule table, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may detect an event based on one of the messages, determine whether the event satisfies a condition for changing a schedule associated with a skill of a call agent of a call center, modify the schedule in the skills schedule table when the event satisfies the condition for changing the schedule associated with the skill of the call agent, and send a request, based on the modified schedule associated with the skill of the call agent, to an automatic call distribution (ACD) device to change the skill of the call agent from a database of the ACD device.
