摘要： 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.

摘要： An interactive display system includes a display such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), for example, and a display controller. The display controller and display operate in concert to display graphical images that are representative of numerical, tabular, data. The display system may be used to edit, for example, to create or modify, the data tables being graphically represented. The edited data tables may be used to simulate processes, such as workflow processes.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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. The system for integrating agent database access skills in call center agent assignment applications automatically computes an agent's effective skill level, which is a term used herein to describe a metric indicative of the agent's overall knowledge management ability consisting of both acquired skills and augmented skills.

摘要： Transferring administration information from a switching system to a computer telephony integration (CTI) terminal via a standard telecommunication link by the CTI terminal executing a feature on the switching system. Advantageously, the information is transferred from the switching system to the CTI terminal utilizing standard display messages as would be displayed on a voice terminal having a display unit. Further, the user of the CTI terminal can request only subsets of the system administration information. Using a voice terminal having a display unit, the user can access individual segments of the administration information.

摘要： 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.

摘要： The flow of work items (40) through a workflow process (50) is optimized by repeatedly reordering (FIG. 3) work items enqueued in inbox queues (21) of workflow process tasks (500) to maximize results according to a given business strategy expressed through target times. Each enqueued work item has an associated in-queue rating (IQR 28) that represents the number of queue positions (23) that the work item can be retarded or needs to be advanced to meet its target time. When a work item enters a queue and whenever a work item changes its queue position, its IQR is computed. An optimization function is then performed (404) on the queue to determine an order of the enqueued work items that optimizes a metric of those work items that may fail to meet their target times. The work items in the queue are then reordered (406) accordingly.

摘要： 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.
摘要翻译：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。
