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.

A method for resetting access account passwords using an interactive voice response system (IVR) can include the step of the IVR receiving a user request to reset a password. Account identification data can be acquired. The acquired data can be matched to account information stored in at least one compartmentalized system. The matching can identify at least one access account for which the user request applies. The IVR can also receive account verification data and compare this data with data stored within the compartmentalized system associated with the identified access account. Based upon results of this comparison, the IVR can reset the password stored within the compartmentalized system. The IVR can be configured to reset passwords for several compartmentalized systems.

A method for resetting Internet access account passwords can include the step of connecting a user with an interactive voice response system (IVR). At least one access account associated with the user can be determined. The IVR can validate that the user is authorized to access the access account. The IVR can then cause a password associated with the at least one access account to be reset. The IVR can also present the reset password to the user.
摘要:
A method for automatically providing output for a communication related to dialup Internet services. The method includes the step of determining an in-progress customer communication is related to dialup connectivity. A service region for the customer can be ascertained. A plurality of currently published dialup access numbers for the service region can be automatically fetched. For each fetched number, a status can be identified. At least one software engine automatically process the access number and status information. The at least one software engine can automatically perform at least one programmatic action resulting in output being supplied to at least one party participating in the customer communication, even though the party has not specifically requested the output.

A method for reporting and responding to dial-up connectivity problems can include the step of establishing a voice connection between a caller and an automated response system. The caller can be automatically prompted for a dial-up access number that is problematic for the caller. A determination can be automatically made as to whether the received dial-up access number is valid. A potential problem can be automatically reported to a network operations center responsible for the access number via a data connection. The caller can be automatically presented with at least one alternative dial-up access number via the voice connection.

An account management system (100) is coupled to a service center (101) serving a number of customers (108). The account management system has a communications interface (110), a memory (104), and a controller (102). The controller is programmed to monitor (202) service outages of the service center, detect (204) a service outage, identify (206) one or more customers affected by the service outage, and assign (208) a credit to each of the affected one or more customers.
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.

A method includes receiving a call from a primary interactive voice response (IVR) system at a load-balancing IVR system. The primary IVR system routes a first percentage of calls to routing logic and a second percentage of calls to the load-balancing IVR system. A telephony system is selected from among a plurality of telephony systems based on agent availability data associated with call center sites of the plurality of telephony systems. The method includes routing the call to a routing protocol component of the routing logic, where the routing protocol component routes the call to a call center of the selected telephony system.
