Device, System, and Method for Optimizing Active Transactions of an Agent
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, using a prioritizing device of center, a first priority value of an incoming transaction, the incoming transaction included in a user request received by the contact center, the incoming transaction requiring utilization of a real-time communication channel;
when the first priority value is greater than a predetermined threshold value;
identifying, using the prioritizing device, an agent device associated with the contact center to process the incoming transaction, said agent device currently processing an ongoing transaction on the real-time communication channel and a non-real-time transaction on a non-real-time communication channel;
transferring, using the prioritizing device, the ongoing transaction from the agent device; and
transferring, using the prioritizing device, the incoming transaction to the agent device.

Abstract
A device, system, and method optimizes active transactions of an agent. The method performed using a prioritizing device of a contact center includes determining a first priority value of an incoming transaction, the incoming transaction included in a user request received by the contact center, the incoming transaction requiring utilization of a real-time communication channel. When the first priority value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, the method includes identifying an agent device associated with the contact center to process the incoming transaction, said agent device currently processing an ongoing transaction. The method includes transferring the ongoing transaction from the agent device. The method includes transferring the incoming transaction to the agent device.

11. A prioritizing device of a contact center, the contact center receiving a user request, the user request comprising a request to process an incoming transaction requiring utilization of a real-time communication channel, the prioritizing device comprising:
-
a transceiver communicating via a communications network to receive information associated with the incoming transaction; and a processor coupled to the transceiver that; determines a priority value of the incoming transaction based upon the information; when the priority value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, identifies an agent device associated with the contact center to process the incoming transaction, said agent device currently processing an ongoing transaction on the real-time communication channel and a non-real-time transaction on a non-real-time communication channel; transfers the ongoing transaction from the agent device; and transfers the incoming transaction to the agent device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A contact center system comprising:
-
a server that receives a user request for processing a plurality of transactions that utilizes a real-time or a non-real-time communication channel; a plurality of agent devices coupled to the server that process the plurality of transactions received by the contact center system; wherein the server comprises a prioritizing device that prioritizes the plurality of transactions and controls a queue associated with each of the plurality of agent devices; wherein a first agent is processing an ongoing transaction and an incoming transaction is received by the server requiring utilization of the real-time communication channel, the prioritizing device; determines a priority value the incoming transaction; when the priority value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, identifies the agent device to process the incoming transaction; determines the ongoing transaction being processed by the first agent device on the real-time communication channel and a non-real-time transaction being processing by the first agent device on a non-real-time communication channel; transfers the ongoing transaction for the transaction to be processed to the first agent device; and transfers the incoming transaction to the first agent device.
