System and method for transmitting signaling and media from a hybrid contact center operations environment
First Claim
1. A method for providing contact center services in a hybrid operations environment including a first operations environment of a contact center and a second operations environment of the contact center, wherein the second operations environment is located in a remote geographic location with respect to the first operations environment, the method comprising:
- receiving by an electronic controller in the first operations environment of the contact center information on a call involving an end user device;
selecting, by a processor based on a load balancing calculation, a media control platform from among a plurality of media control platforms, the media control platform being configured to provide media services;
providing via a switch, by the processor, first media service from a first electronic media controller using the media control platform in the second operations environment of the contact center during a first portion of the call, wherein the providing the first media service includes transmitting, by the electronic controller in the first operations environment, a request for the first media service to the first electronic media controller in the second operations environment, wherein the first electronic media controller transmits first media to the end user device in response;
providing by the switch, with the processor, second media service from a second electronic media controller in the first operations environment of the contact center during a second portion of the call, wherein the providing the second media service includes transmitting, by the electronic controller in the first operations environment, a request for the second media service to the second media controller in the first operations environment, wherein the second electronic media controller in the first operations environment transmits second media to the end user device in response;
identifying, by the processor, one of a plurality of contact centers associated with the call involving the end user device, wherein a media session is established for the call involving the end user device; and
identifying, by the processor, a profile for the one of the plurality of contact centers, wherein a parameter for providing media is based on the identified profile.

Abstract
A system and method for providing contact center services in a hybrid operations environment including a first operations environment and a second operations environment. A controller in the first operations environment receives information on a call involving an end user device. A first media service is provided during a first portion of the call, and second media service is provided during a second portion of the call. The providing of the first media service includes transmitting by the controller a request for the first media service to a first media resource in the second operations environment. The first media resource transmits first media to the end user device in response. The providing of the second media service includes transmitting by the controller a request for the second media service to a second media resource in the first operations environment. The second media resource transmits second media to the end user device in response.
