Abstract: A call-handling system and its method of operation are disclosed. The call-handling system comprises a communication system and a call center. The communication system receives a call, and in response, transfers a query. The call center receives and processes the query to select a packet address of a call center resource at the call center. The call center transfers a response indicating the selected packet address of the call center resource. The communication system receives the response indicating the selected packet address of the call center resource and transfers the call to the call center in voice packets having the selected packet address of the call center resource. The call center receives the voice packets having the selected packet address of the call center resource and routes the voice packets to the call center resource based on the selected packet address.

Abstract: The invention provides a call center communication system to handle calls to a call center by obtaining absolute address for a call center resource from a call center resource processor prior to directing the call to the call center resource. The invention includes a first communication system that receives and processes the initial signal to select a call center resource processor and generates and transmits an address query for the call center resource processor. After receiving an address response including an absolute address for the call, the first communication system processes the address response to generate route information to cause a second communication system to route the call to a call center resource in call packets containing the absolute address. The first communication system transmits the route information including the absolute address for the second communication system.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising at least one component, the at least one component comprising a rubber composition, the rubber composition comprising at least one diene based elastomer and a combination plasticizer comprising a polyester phthalate and dibutoxy ethyl adipate.

Abstract: The invention provides a call processing system to handle calls to a call center by obtaining absolute address for a call center resource from a call center resource processor prior to directing the call to the call center resource. The invention includes a call processing system that transmits an service control point (SCP) query for an SCP after receiving an initial signal for the call. The SCP then transmits an address query for the call center resource processor and receives an address response including the absolute address for the call from the call center resource processor. The SCP transmits an SCP response including the absolute address for the call processing system. The call processing system processes the SCP response to generate a route instruction to cause a network element system to route the call to a call center resource in call packets containing the absolute address. The call processing system transmits the route instruction for the network element system.

Abstract: The invention provides a call processing system to handle calls to a call center by obtaining absolute address for a call center resource from a call center resource processor prior to directing the call to the call center resource. The invention includes a call processing system that receives an initial signal, processes the initial signal to identify a call center resource processor, generates the address query for a call center resource processor, and transmits the address query from the call processing system. Once an address response from the call center resource processor including an absolute address for the call is received, the call processing system generates an instruction to cause a network element system to route the call to a call center resource with the absolute address. At the call center resource, no translation of the call is needed to direct the call to the call's final destination, an agent, interactive voice response, or voice response unit.

Abstract: The invention provides a call processing system to handle calls to a call center by obtaining absolute address for a call center resource from a call center resource processor prior to directing the call to the call center resource. The invention includes a call center resource processor that receives an address query from a communications system for an absolute address of a call center resource. The call center resource processor processes the address query to identify the absolute address. After identifying the absolute address, the call center resource processor generates an address response with the absolute address for the call center resource. The call center resource processor transmits the address response with the absolute address from the call center resource processor for the communications system to route the call using the absolute address.

Abstract: A method and system of providing network based transcription of free-form speech signals. A speech signal is recorded as a digital audio file in a storage medium and is then streamed over a data network to a client terminal for transcription. As the speech signal arrives, it is buffered in memory at the client terminal while a streaming player application plays the signal to a transcriptionist. The transcriptionist then conveniently listens to and transcribes the speech signal as it is being played. The invention advantageously avoids the need to physically transfer and download the full digital audio to a transcriptionist computer or to transport physical storage media, such as tapes or CD-ROM from the place of recording to the place where the recorded voice signals will be transcribed.
