Method and system for a scalable computer-telephony integration system

Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are described for a scalable computer-telephony integration system. Various aspects may include storing sets of call agent login information for several call agents within the computer-telephony integration system and across several independent computing systems in a contact center login database. Additionally, various aspects may include generating several contact center service categories and sets of contact information for each contact center service category, which may be stored in a contact center directory database. When an incoming call is received from a customer, various aspects may include obtaining customer call information from the customer and generating a customer call key, which may be stored as a reference to the customer call information in a contact center customer call information database. The call key may be used to reduce an amount of data electronically transferred between call agents during telephone call transfers.

Method and system for a scalable computer-telephony integration system

When an incoming call is received from a customer, various aspects of a scalable computer-telephony integration system may include receiving an indication of availability from several call agents within the computer-telephony integration system and presenting the indications of availability and identification information for each of the call agents on a display. A user control for searching the call agents may also be presented on the display for use by a first call agent to view an indication of availability for a particular call agent. The customer call may then be transferred from the first call agent to the particular call agent in response to the indication of availability identifying the particular call agent as available.

Switching between watches

Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for allowing a user to switch between watches that have been paired with a device such as a smartphone are described. In one embodiment, the watches automatically detect a removal of a first watch from a user's wrist and an attachment of a second watch to the user's wrist. Messages from the watches are transmitted to the device to allow the device to switch the active watch from the first watch to the second watch. The switch can occur while the device is in a locked state, and the device can synchronize the second watch with data received from the first watch. Other embodiments are also described.

SWITCHING BETWEEN WATCHES OR OTHER ACCESSORIES

Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for allowing a user to switch between wearable accessories can scan for one or more on-body states from one or more paired accessories, determine based on a difference in on-body states that a switch between accessories has occurred, the switch being to a second accessory from a first accessory, and transmit synchronization data to the second accessory in response to determining that the second accessory has established a communication connection for data exchange with the companion device. Other embodiments are also described.

INMATE TEXT COMMUNICATION VIA WI-FI RADIO
20190014449 · 2019-01-10 · ·

Inmate text communication can include communicating a text message through a server via a Wi-Fi radio, where the Wi-Fi radio is associated with an active predetermined and unique telephone number selected from a group of reserved predetermined and unique telephone numbers.

Telephony software control via web application
10165109 · 2018-12-25 · ·

A Web application (such as a workforce management application) on a cloud computing platform controls telephony software used by an agent who operates a remote agent computer. The telephony software may reside on the agent computer, may reside in the cloud and be used by the agent using a browser, or may reside in the cloud and include a client on the agent computer. The agent does not have access to login credentials of the telephony software and cannot log in. The Web application remotely controls the telephony software using an API and makes decisions based upon the scheduled shift activities of the agent or demand for tasks within the enterprise or call center. The Web application is able to log the agent in to or off of the telephony software or to change the status of the agent within the telephony software.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING CONTEXT-BASED VOICE RESPONSES TO ALWAYS-ON-DISPLAY NOTIFICATIONS
20180262607 · 2018-09-13 ·

For responding to a notification displayed in an Always on Display (AoD) mode with a voice command, a method displays notifications in at least one of a full power mode or an AoD mode, parses a notification to determine a notification type. The method also determines, while in the AoD mode, if the notification supports voice responses. If the notification supports voice response, the method receives a voice command from a user and authorizes the user based on the voice command, bypasses a screen lock, in response to the user being authorized, and executes the voice command.
