Patent number: 8310959Abstract: Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method for handling a voice communication in an integrated system includes receiving information indicating that a voice communication between a first party and a second party is to be initiated. The method includes identifying one of a plurality of terminal assignment records as being associated with the second party, each of the terminal assignment records configured to specify, for a particular party, at least one of a plurality of terminal units for receiving an alert to the particular party regarding the voice communication. The method includes generating at least one alert to the second party according to the identified terminal assignment record, the alert based on the received information. The method includes forwarding communication data to an application program available to the second party, the communication data obtained from the received information.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Markku Helin, Tommi Auvinen, Arto Keskiniva

Patent number: 7920853Abstract: A method and arrangement for establishing a conference call from a mobile station in a call centre environment. A user may choose conference call participants from his mobile phone, and a client application in the mobile phone will communicate relevant parameters to the call centre server, which will then call the conference initiator and other participants via the gateway server. The calls are handed over to the gateway server, which will digitize each call to an audio and/or video stream, typically an RTP stream. The streams are relayed to a computer where the streams are combined to form a successful conference call. The conference call is then recorded to a data file on the computer, and may be sent to participants or stored to a database with relevant metadata. The network infrastructure of the telecommunications network operator need not be consulted, nor is there any need for additional hardware.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2005Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Jouni Purontaus, Arto Keskiniva, Harri Pesonen

Patent number: 7855965Abstract: Packet network telecommunication systems, especially Internet Protocol (IP) telephony removes the need of explicit installing of TSP (TAPI service provider) software or other telephony software at each workstation. Application server software or corresponding control software is arranged to take care of all call control actions on behalf of the phone client software so that the phone client software only needs to receive and transmit speech data streams, and to communicate all control messaging from and to the particular phone client software via the communication link between the control software and the phone client software. Since modern operating systems include support for the user interface devices as well as transmitting and receiving real-time data streams, the phone client software does not require any specific interfacing software to be installed on the client workstation.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2008Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Arto Keskiniva, Tommi Auvinen, Jouni Purontaus

Publication number: 20060031540Abstract: A method and apparatus for ensuring high availability of services in a communication server. In particular the invention relates to a method and apparatus for ensuring high availability of services in a software based contact centre. The invention is based on a developed application of virtual backup units for ensuring availability in a software based contact centre. The software based contact centre will have a high availability controller, which will have logical connections to virtual backup units on the same server, or different, even distributed servers. The virtual backup unit will typically contain a set of resources that could potentially fail. Once a failure of a resource takes place, a virtual backup unit may be initialised at any server, and some or all parts of the virtual backup unit are arranged to replace the failed resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2003Publication date: February 9, 2006Inventors: Jouni Purontaus, Arto Keskiniva, Tero Loimuneva, Tommi Auvinen, Mikko Hannikainen
