Call routing system and method of using the same
First Claim
1. A method of using a call routing system, the method comprising:
- generating an action object identifier at a first module in response at least in part to a call;
routing the call to a second module that does not correspond to the action object identifier; and
routing the call to a third module that is associated with the action object identifier after routing the call to the second module.

Abstract
A call service center can include a call routing system that can use one or more action object identifiers. In one embodiment, a future action object identifier is associated with a task that is desired or otherwise intended to be performed at the call service center. The call routing system may route the call to a module that is not associated with the future action object identifier or perform a portion of a task within the same module, wherein the portion of the task is not associated with the future action object identifier. In another embodiment, at least two action object identifiers can be passed with a call from one module to another module. In a particular embodiment, a past, current, or future action object identifier, other information related to the call, or any combination thereof may be passed from one module to another module with the call.

9. A data processing system comprising:
-
a first module configured to;
generate an action object identifier; and
pass or have passed a call to a second module that does not correspond to the action object identifier;
a second module configured to;
perform a first task regarding the call, wherein the first task does not correspond to the action object identifier; and
pass or have passed the call to a third module that is associated with the action object identifier; and
a third module configured to perform a second task regarding the call, wherein the second task is associated with the action object identifier. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A data processing system readable medium having data to be used with a call routing system, wherein the data is embodied within the data processing system readable medium, the data comprising:
-
an instruction to generate a first action object identifier at a first module in response at least in part to a call;
an instruction to route the call to a second module that does not correspond to the first action object identifier; and
an instruction to route the call to a third module that is associated with the first action object identifier after routing the call to the second module. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
