  • Patent number: 5970134
    Abstract: System and method for monitoring calls parked on one or more automatic call distributors (ACDs). Calls parked on an ACD are monitored through the use of a call park server that maintains a relational database. The relational database includes a call-leg information table and a method table. The call-leg information table is used to track and maintain the status of each call-leg parked on an ACD. The method table includes pre-determined methods that can be executed in response to a change in status of the parked call-legs. The method table provides a suite of methods that can be selected by a parking facility, for example, an automated response unit or an operator console, to be applied to the parked call-leg when particular events occur.
