  • Patent number: 10165121
    Abstract: A method of sending data to one of a plurality of geographically dispersed contact center service sites includes receiving a contact from a customer device; determining a context of the contact; and retrieving, by the server of the contact center, from a first context store, information based on the determined context of the contact. Accordingly, based on the determined context of the contact, a predicted particular service site from among the plurality of geographically dispersed contact center service sites can be identified so that the retrieved information can be sent to a storage location that is closer to the predicted particular service site than the contact center is.

  • Patent number: 10084919
    Abstract: A method of routing contacts in a contact center includes receiving a registration from an agent of the contact center, wherein the registration identifies at least one attribute of a future contact the agent has an interest in receiving, receiving an incoming contact to the contact center; and identifying a context of the incoming contact comprising a plurality of contact attributes. Thus, it can be determined that the at least one attribute of the future contact matches at least one of the plurality of contact attributes; and whether the agent of the contact center is available to receive the incoming contact. When the agent of the contact center is available the incoming contact is routed to a first agent device associated with the agent of the contact center.

  • Publication number: 20170054846
    Abstract: A method of establishing a connection with a user device associated with a user includes receiving a request from the user, the request related to a product or service and determining a context associated with the request. Accordingly, based on the determined context, one of a plurality of available communication modes can be determined and an agent device of the contact center can be connected with the user device via the determined one of the plurality of available communication modes.
