    • A work center monitoring system includes an output device, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), liquid crystal display (LCD), or other display device and a display controller. The controller formats work center information to be displayed on the output device as single-valued and multi-valued display segments. Each segment displays information related to work center activities, which may be categorized as various skills. The displays may be provided to a work center supervisor to assist in the management of a work center, such as a contact and fulfillment center. Current and historical values of the parameters may be displayed, simultaneously, or in sequence. The values of the displayed parameters may be different types, such as any of a variety of numerical representations which might represent the number of calls in one or more queues, or the oldest call in a queue, for example. The values may be indicative of the elapsed time for servicing the oldest call in a queue, or other indications of time. The information being displayed may derive from a number of sources such as a work center management database, directly from a call management system, or from some other source. In accordance with the principles of the invention, the displayed parameter representations include indicia of “permissible” parameter values. One such indicator might be an “I-beam” glyph that indicates the highest and lowest acceptable values for a particular parameter. The area immediately surrounding such an “I-beam” glyph may include further indicia, such as graduated zones of acceptability.
    • 工作中心监视系统包括诸如阴极射线管(CRT),液晶显示器(LCD)或其它显示装置和显示控制器的输出装置。 控制器将工作中心信息格式化,以在输出设备上显示为单值和多值显示段。 每个细分显示与工作中心活动相关的信息,可分为各种技能。 显示器可以被提供给工作中心主管以帮助管理诸如联系和履行中心的工作中心。 参数的当前值和历史值可以同时或依次显示。 显示的参数的值可以是不同的类型,例如可以表示一个或多个队列中的呼叫数量的多种数字表示中的任何一种,或队列中最早的呼叫。 这些值可以指示用于维护队列中最早呼叫的经过时间,或其他时间指示。 正在显示的信息可以从诸如工作中心管理数据库的多个来源,直接来自呼叫管理系统或来自其他来源。 根据本发明的原理,所显示的参数表示包括“允许”参数值的标记。 一个这样的指示器可以是指示特定参数的最高和最低可接受值的“I-beam”字形。 围绕这样一个“I-beam”字形的区域可以包括进一步的标记,例如可接受度的分级区域。

    • A workflow display system in accordance with the principles of the present invention includes an output device, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), liquid crystal display (LCD), or other display device and a display controller. The display controller and display operate in concert to display graphical images that are representative of workflow information. Textual information may also be displayed. Such a display may employ the size, color, and number of glyphs to represent the number of work units in one or more work states. Other display characteristics, such as patterns, flashing, or other such visual queues may also be employed to convey information about workflow in a manner which is readily comprehensible. For example, in a telephone contact and fulfillment center application, the size and/or number of circles may indicate the number of waiting calls in a given state.
    • 根据本发明的原理的工作流显示系统包括诸如阴极射线管(CRT),液晶显示器(LCD)或其它显示装置和显示控制器的输出装置。 显示控制器和显示器一致地显示代表工作流信息的图形图像。 也可以显示文本信息。 这样的显示器可以使用字形的大小,颜色和数量来表示在一个或多个工作状态下的工作单元的数量。 还可以采用诸如图案,闪烁或其它这样的视觉队列的其他显示特征来以容易理解的方式来传达关于工作流的信息。 例如,在电话联络和履行中心应用中,圆圈的大小和/或数量可以指示给定状态下的等待呼叫的次数。

    • The system for integrating agent database access skills in call center agent assignment applications dynamically generates data indicative of an agent's effective skill level by mapping the agent's acquired skills into their augmented skills representative of their ability to use the various automated resources that are required to satisfy the customer's request. The determined effective skill level is automatically updated as changes in the agent's effective skills are measured. In order to distribute work among the agents based upon agent skill levels, there must be a measure of each agent's competence with a particular skill. The pool of agents is divided into categories of those who must use guided problem solving tools to service a customer request, those who can address issues beyond the scope of the guided problem solving tool, and those who exhibit various levels of efficacy in using the guided problem solving tool.

    • An automatic message waiting alerting arrangement in a telephone switching system. Messages for parties served by the system are automatically and manually generated and stored in a database. A message waiting indicator associated with a station is automatically activated only when the database contains an unaccessed message for the station, even though other accessed messages may be retained in the database for the convenience of the station owner. An "accessed" indicator included with each stored message is set to an "unaccessed" state when the message is initially stored. The indicator is set to an "accessed" state when the corresponding message is accessed by an authorized party. At the termination of an access session, the data base is searched for unaccessed messages for the station and the message waiting indicator is activated only if at least one unaccessed message for the station is found.

    • Allowing an agent to customize their CTI terminal with respect to a variety of terminal attributes such as those associated with previous phone activity, configuration information such as color, and graphical statistical representation of ACD center information. The telecommunication agent is able to store information defining this customization and to retrieve it at another CTI terminal at a later point in time. The storage of the customization information is performed as a file on a file server common to all CTI terminals. The result is that no software must be custom written for the file server in order to allow the saving of customized information. In addition, the programs controlling the CTI terminals are independent of the communication protocol that is utilized between the CTI terminals and the file server. A second embodiment of the invention allows the administrator of a call center to specify that each group of agents will utilize the same customization information. This group customization information is stored on each CTI terminal which reduces the real time load on the file server when a new agent work session starts. Also, each CTI terminal periodically polls the file server to see if a new set of group customization information has been stored on the file server. Call center administrators will routinely store new group customization information on the file server. If a new set of group customization information has been stored on the file server, the CTI terminal accesses this information and stores it internal to the CTI terminal.
    • 允许代理人针对诸如与之前的电话活动相关联的各种终端属性,诸如颜色的配置信息和ACD中心信息的图形统计表示来定制其CTI终端。 电信代理能够存储定义该定制的信息,并在稍后的时间点在另一个CTI终端处检索它。 定制信息的存储作为所有CTI终端公用的文件服务器上的文件执行。 结果是,为了允许保存定制信息,不能为文件服务器定制任何软件。 此外,控制CTI终端的程序与CTI终端和文件服务器之间利用的通信协议无关。 本发明的第二实施例允许呼叫中心的管理员指定每组代理将使用相同的定制信息。 该组定制信息存储在每个CTI终端上,当新的代理工作会话启动时,这可以减少文件服务器上的实时负载。 此外,每个CTI终端定期轮询文件服务器以查看文件服务器上是否存储了一组新的组定制信息。 呼叫中心管理员将在文件服务器上定期存储新的组定制信息。 如果文件服务器上存储了一组新的组定制信息,则CTI终端访问该信息并将其存储在CTI终端内部。
