摘要： A predictive dialer in a call center may originate a number of outbound calls on behalf of agents for an outbound call campaign. Since many calls may fail to connect with the right party, the predictive dialer may originate several contemporaneous calls in order to provide a single call to an available agent. A pacing algorithm in the predictive dialer determines how many calls are to be made based on various factors, conditions, and rules. In some instances, the predictive dialer may attempt to originate more calls than there are available trunks. In such instances, the number of originated calls is limited by the number of available trunks causing a trunk-related deficiency condition, which can adversely impact the agents' performance. Various embodiments of the invention detect and provide notifications of such conditions to allow effective diagnosis of the cause of degradation of agent performance.
摘要翻译：呼叫中心中的预测拨号器可以代表出站呼叫活动的代理发起多个出站呼叫。由于许多呼叫可能无法与正确的方连接，所以预测拨号器可以产生几个同时呼叫，以便向可用代理提供单个呼叫。预测拨号器中的起搏算法根据各种因素，条件和规则确定要进行多少个呼叫。在某些情况下，预测拨号器可能尝试发起比可用的中继线更多的呼叫。在这种情况下，发起呼叫的数量受到导致中继相关不足状况的可用干线数量的限制，这可能对代理的性能产生不利影响。本发明的各种实施例检测并提供这些条件的通知，以允许有效诊断代理性能下降的原因。

摘要： The present invention provides a communications system and maintenance system for telephone contact. The present invention is designed to be a stand-alone system used in concert with computers and public telephone switches that are well known in the telephone contact industry. The present invention may, if desired, be integrated into an existing telephone contact system or host program, or, it can be made available as a stand alone product. The communication system enables the telephone service representative to transparently deliver a prerecorded voice file to a party that is consistent in voice tone, quality, energy and pitch. The communication system also provides the telephone service representative with a viewable transcript of the actual voice being transmitted to the party. The maintenance system enables the telephone service representative to update and improve selected prerecorded voice files to ensure voice quality, energy, tone, and pitch of his/her recordings and management to approve and control quality before the recording is used within the system.

摘要： Systems and methods for allowing a call center to accept and schedule callback appointments for the service of inbound calls at times which are convenient for the inbound caller as well as automatically placing an outbound call at the scheduled callback time. The system collects information from the caller when scheduling a callback time which assists the agent with servicing the scheduled callback more efficiently than the original incoming call. The system also uses algorithms and various system parameters to determine how many agents are needed to service all scheduled callbacks at a given time while maximizing the efficiency of the agents by avoiding having agents service callbacks which fail to reach the person to be serviced for various reasons. When not enough agents are available to handle the scheduled callbacks and current incoming calls the called back individual is automatically connected to the next available agent avoiding the line of incoming calls entirely. This results in not only increasing the efficiency of the agents it also decreases the time necessary for the call center to provide for the scheduling of future callbacks.
摘要翻译：允许呼叫中心接收和调度入站呼叫服务的回呼约会的方法，这些呼叫方便入站呼叫者，并在预定的回呼时间内自动发出呼出呼叫。当调度回呼时间时，系统从呼叫者收集信息，该呼叫协助代理服务于比原始来电更有效的调度回呼。该系统还使用算法和各种系统参数来确定在给定时间为所有调度的回调服务所需的代理人数量，同时通过避免由于各种原因而使代理服务回调无法到达该服务人员而最大化代理的效率。当没有足够的代理可用于处理调度的回拨和当前来电时，被叫回的个人将自动连接到下一个可用的代理，避免完全进入来电。这不仅增加了代理的效率，而且还减少了呼叫中心提供未来回调的调度所需的时间。

摘要： Systems and methods for detecting false signals on a telephone line. The devices provide an additional verification for outbound calls which result in a disconnected or not in service signal that such signals are valid and not false tones being emitted by a device or service employed by the call recipient, The type of additional verification of the outbound call is dependent on the telephone network on which the outbound call is placed. For example, on an analog telephone network a drop in loop current may be detected indicting a connected call which is contrary to the disconnected or not in service signals being received. Such connected signals can be detected on digital networks by monitoring dedicated control data channels or through the use of data received through the use of in-band signaling. Once the additional verification had detected false tones the call can be process as if a connection occurred including routing such calls to an available agent or other handling process customized to handle such calls.
摘要翻译：用于在电话线上检测虚假信号的系统和方法。这些设备为出站呼叫提供额外的验证，导致断开或不在服务信号，这些信号是有效的，而不是由呼叫接收者使用的设备或服务发出的假音调。呼出呼叫的附加验证类型取决于放置呼出电话的电话网络。例如，在模拟电话网络上，可以检测到下降的环路电流，指示连接的呼叫与正在接收的服务信号中的断开或不相关。通过监视专用控制数据信道或通过使用通过使用带内信令接收的数据，可以在数字网络上检测这样的连接信号。一旦附加验证检测到假音，就可以像呼叫一样进行处理，包括将此类呼叫路由到可用的代理或其他处理过程，以处理这种呼叫。

摘要： Call center agent training is provided on a non-scheduled basis and is characterized as having a duration that is less than a scheduling interval used to schedule the agent for their work shift, as well as schedule other activities in the work shift. The delivery of snippet training content may be triggered by various conditions, including in response to: a request for training originating from the agent, a period of continuous call processing activity of the agent, various agent performance metrics, or probabilistically assigned to an agent in a group. Various parameters may selectively limit provision of a snippet training session. The agents provided with training are placed in an unavailable state prior to the snippet training session, and placed back into an available state afterwards. The snippet training content may be variously structured and can be grouped together to form an e-learning course delivered to the agent.

摘要： Systems and methods for detecting call blocking devices or services. The devices monitor outbound call connections to determine if a connected call has been answered by a call blocking device or service rather than a person or answering machine. The verification is a comparison between the connection of an outbound call and a predefined parameter of data associated with that connection. For example, the predefined timing parameter may require detecting a connection before the first ring, or a connection occur within a predetermine period of time from when the outbound call is placed, or a connection occurring after a certain number of rings, etc. Which predefined parameter is associated with a particular outbound call may depend on the call blocking device or service the call center placing the outbound call expects to encounter on a particular connection attempt of a particular phone number. Once the call blocking device or service has been detected on a connected call, the call can be process as if a connection occurred including routing such calls to an available agent or other handling process customized to handle such calls such as automatically navigating prompts for voice or dialing responses from the privacy director systems.

摘要： Various embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and computer program products for generating an outbound forecast. In particular embodiments, campaign parameters are defined for at least two outbound call campaigns that include for each campaign a time period over which the campaign is to be carried out, a target value identifying a number of an outbound communication result to occur over the time period, and sources for handling outbound communications. Further, a historical dataset is selected that includes historical data on the corresponding outbound communication result for each campaign based on past outbound communications. In various embodiments, an outbound forecast is generated based on the historical dataset and campaign parameters for the outbound call campaigns. The forecast provides a number of the outbound communication result forecasted to be achieved over the time period for each campaign in an attempt to meet the target value for the corresponding campaign.
