Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring an interaction between a caller and an automated voice response (AVR) system is provided. An audio communication from a caller is processed by executing an AVR script, which includes a plurality of instructions. A visual representation of the audio communication is presented substantially simultaneously with the audio communication to an agent based on the AVR script. The visual representation includes at least one field to be populated with information obtained from the caller and the information populated in the field can be updated by the agent.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a message-based communications infrastructure for automated call center operation is described. A call from a user into a call center is accepted. The accepted call includes a stream of transcribed verbal speech utterances. Each transcribed verbal speech utterance is recorded as a user message. The accepted call is assigned to a session, which is then assigned to an agent. The call is progressively processed in the assigned session by presenting each user message to the assigned agent, executing commands responsive to the assigned agent, and sending an agent message to the user. The agent message includes a stream of synthesized audible speech utterances.

Abstract: A system and a method for facilitating communication between a remote station and a service network are disclosed. A remote station is associated with a first communicator configured to communicate over a first communication network and a second communicator configured to communicate over a second communication network. A communication controller associated with the remote station and coupled with the first communicator and the second communicator is operable to transmit a first set of signals using the first communicator a second set of signals using the second communicator. A mobile network access point is directable to within a communication range of the second communicator of the remote station when the remote station is outside of an existing communication range of the second communication network and the first set of signals includes a resource request for the second communication network.
