System and method for return to agents during a contact center session
First Claim
1. A contact center system for servicing a call from a caller comprising:
- a subsystem including at least one processor; and
one or more modules coupled to the subsystem, the one or more modules including code executable by the at least one processor that provides the caller with a call session history listing each agent with whom the caller has interacted, the code also providing the caller with an option to return to a previous agent.

Abstract
A system and method for servicing a caller at a contact center includes a processor subsystem and one or more modules that include code executable by the processor subsystem. Execution of the code invoking an automatic call distributor (ACD) collaborative application that provides the caller with a visual or aural call session history that lists each agent with whom the caller has interacted. The ACD collaborative application also providing the caller with an option to request return to a previous agent listed in the call session history. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

6. A contact center system for servicing a call from a caller comprising:
-
a subsystem including at least one processor; and
one or more modules coupled to the subsystem, the one or more modules including code executable by the at least one processor that invokes an application which provides the caller with a call session history listing each agent with whom the caller has interacted, the application also providing the caller with an option to request return to a previous agent, with transfer to the previous agent being controlled by an agent or supervisor associated with the contact center system. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A processor-implemented method of servicing a caller at a contact center comprising:
-
providing the caller with a call session history listing each agent with whom the caller has interacted, the call session history being provided in real-time; and
providing the caller with a menu option to request return to a previous agent. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A processor-implemented method of servicing a caller at a contact center comprising:
-
providing the caller with an interactive voice response (IVR) menu;
dynamically creating a call session history script that includes a listing of each agent with whom the caller has interacted;
updating the IVR menu with the call session history script; and
prompting the caller with the call session history script and a menu option to request return to a previous agent. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
