  • Patent number: 9794414
    Abstract: 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.

Then the second call agent may use the call key to retrieve the customer call information and/or the customer call information may be presented on a display for use by the second call agent during the call. The call key may be used to reduce an amount of data electronically transferred between call agents during telephone call transfers.
