摘要:
In a call transfer system (110) a computer program can transfer a calling party (102A) communicating with a first agent (106A) at a first communication switch when said first communication switch does not support automated call transfers. The computer program includes instructions for receiving (212) a call from the first agent, selecting (224) a second agent (106B) at a second communication switch according to a request received from the first agent, connecting (226-228) the second agent at the second communication switch with one or more of a group of parties comprising the calling party and the first agent, and activating automated call transfers at the second communication switch.

A wireless access point locator (108) operating as an interactive voice response (UVR) system has a memory (108B), and a processor (108A). The processor is programmed to locate (204) one or more wireless access points in response to a request from a calling party (102), and submit (212) to the calling party one or more locations corresponding to one or more wireless access points found in the locating step.
摘要:
In a method and system for transferring an inbound call received by a first agent, input information describing agent authentication and call destination is received from the first agent. The first agent is directed to conference in the inbound call in response to receiving the input information. A first sequence of tone signals is generated in response to the conference. After placing the inbound call on hold, a ‘wait for digits’ signal identifying a carrier servicing the inbound call is detected. A carrier dependent transfer sequence is selected for transferring the inbound call from the first agent to a second agent preferably without the inbound call being hair pinned through the first agent.

An automated IVR apparatus for notifying entities of costumer-specific information. An automated IVR application that enables subscribers to check the status of their DSL line and to report problems in real time. A “Service Restoration Callback” application enables a service provider to automatically contact a customer via telephone when service is restored after an outage. The customer can configure parameters concerning the received callback. An outage detection module checks all available systems for the status of a customer's service on a real-time, customer-by-customer, call-for-call basis.
摘要:
A call routing system stores includes a processor that retrieves account information from a storage and identifies a previously provided telecommunications service that was provided to the party based on the account information. The processor restricts access to telecommunications services based on the identified previously provided telecommunications service and determines additional telecommunications services, distinct from the previously provided telecommunications service, desired by the party. The processor receives a selection from the party of the additional telecommunications services and processes a service request from the party based upon the selection by the party. A routing element suppresses routing of the call to a service center that provides the previously provided telecommunications service that was provided to the party, and routes the call to a service center that provides the additional telecommunications services selected by the party.
摘要:
A server for automatically handling dial-up connectivity problems via a voice connection can include a controller to interface with a caller during a voice call, query a network operations center using a data connection to determine whether a dial-up number associated with the caller and received by the server is out of service, and present alternative dial-up numbers during the voice call without prompting the caller for further information. Other embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A customer-agent routing system (102) has a memory (102B) for storage, and a processor (102A) for controlling operations of the memory. The processor is programmed to retrieve (210) from the memory historical information about a calling party, restrict (212) access to one or more of a plurality of services according to the retrieved historical information, and process (218) a service request from the calling party according to the restricted services.

摘要:
A method for an automated voice response system to present access numbers to dial-up Internet users. The automated voice response system can perform the step of establishing a telephony communication with a party responsive to a received telephone call from the party. An indicator a service region within which dial-up Internet access is requested can be received by the automated voice response system. At least one data store can be queried for access numbers associated with the service region. A response to the querying step can be dynamically generated. The generated response can be customized specifically for the telephony communication. When the response includes at least one access number, the included access number or numbers can be presented to the party across the telephone communication.
摘要:
A configurable interactive voice response messaging control and monitoring system (10) includes a user interface (16) enabling a dynamic selection of groups based on one or more among area codes, interactive voice response system locations, or call types, a database (18) containing a status of override messages accessible by the user interface, and an interactive voice response system (14) coupled to the database for playing override messages as dynamically controlled by criteria set in the database. The system can further include a network operating center (NOC) (26) coupled to the database for monitoring the status of override messages. The NOC can also be coupled to an enterprise telecom system (28) enabling monitoring of the status of override messages by one or more call centers (31, 32, 33) coupled to the enterprise telecom system. Note, override messages can also be controlled by responses to API triggers where an outage condition exists.
