  • Patent number: 9069450
    Abstract: A computer with a processor and a memory is used to set instructions for both a first component of a service and a second component of the service. The instructions include a flow of dialogs to present to requesters of the service to obtain information. Each instruction includes a dialog to present to the requesters of the service to obtain information. The first component of the service is provided via a first user interface over a first communication channel using a first communication mode. The second component of the service is provided via a second user interface over a second communication channel using a second communication mode. The first component of the service and the second component of the service are provided continuously in a single session in accordance with the instructions using a common rule set of the instructions.

  • Patent number: 8644455
    Abstract: Systems, method, and media for providing communication services between an application and a computer telephony interface server are provided. One of a plurality of computer telephony interface drivers is launched as a primary computer telephony interface driver to interface the application with the computer telephony interface server. The computer telephony interface drivers are monitored with a plurality of monitors. Each of the monitors is associated with one of the computer telephony interface drivers and monitors a status of another of the computer telephony interface drivers. A failure of the primary computer telephony interface driver is detected with a secondary monitor. The secondary monitor monitors the primary computer telephony interface driver and is associated with a secondary computer telephony interface driver.

  • Publication number: 20070121822
    Abstract: CTI servers capable of communicating with multiple clients and methods of operating the same are disclosed. An example system includes a client handler to receive messages from the multiple clients, a message handler to change the format of the messages, a queue to store messages, an interface to a telephony network, a data processor to generate responses to messages, and a CTI driver to retrieve messages from the queue and pass the retrieved messages to the data processor, and a data storage to store data associated with the messages.
