  • Publication number: 20180205825
    Abstract: A system and method for composing a routing strategy for a contact center via a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface provides a plurality of selectable blocks and a workspace for assembling selected ones of the plurality of blocks. Each of the plurality of blocks is associated with logic for managing an interaction with the contact center. A processor receives identification of one of the blocks and identification of a location in the workspace area relative to other blocks in the workspace area, and places the identified block in the identified location. The processor generates the routing strategy based on the blocks in the workspace area and location of the blocks relative to each other in the workspace area. The processor also stores a layout of the blocks in the workspace area as a routing diagram for the routing strategy. The processor activates the routing strategy for managing the inbound interaction according to the activated routing strategy.

  • Patent number: 9974875
    Abstract: A sterilizer for point-of-sale credit card readers and keypads. One or more UV-C LEDs are integrated into the housing of the unit and directed at the keypad or other surface. The LED lights shine on the keypad or other contact surfaces, such as a stylus. Because LEDs use low DC voltage, the electronics may be powered by the keypad device power supply. The electronic circuits may be designed so that the LEDs are automatically turned on after each transaction is complete for a predetermined amount of time to kill the vast majority of pathogens that could be transmitted from person to person. The LEDs may be arranged on both the left and right side of the keypad, and at the top edge of the keypad to illuminate all exposed surfaces of the keys.

  • Publication number: 20180077820
    Abstract: A system includes an enclosure with a device space having a layer of active devices arranged into rows and adjacent cooling channels and an inlet partition having apertures aligned to the cooling channels defining a supply plenum. In a method of use, cooling fluid, such as air, is transferred from the supply plenum to the cooling channels to concurrently cool the layer of active devices and may provide substantially the same temperature and flow of cooling fluid to each row of active devices. Active devices may include storage devices. The supply plenum may include elongate ducts to encourage uniform cooling along a row. The supply plenum may also include a duct partition or more than one supply plenum to encourage uniform cooling among the rows. One or more fans may provide pressurized cooling fluid in the supply plenum space.

  • Patent number: 9912813
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and visualizing contact center performance via a graphical user interface. A processor identifies a plurality of contact center metrics, identifies predicted values for the plurality of contact center metrics, and displays a reference geometric object having a plurality of vertices representing the predicted values for the plurality of contact center metrics. The processor also determines actual values for the plurality of contact center metrics and overlays over the display of the reference geometric object, a display of a current geometric object. The current geometric object has a plurality of vertices representing the actual values for the plurality of contact center metrics. Deviation of the current geometric object from the reference geometric object is an indication of deviation of one or more actual values from the predicted values.
