Method and system for transferring calls and call-related data between a plurality of call centers
First Claim
1. A system for transferring a voice component and a data component of a service call, comprising:
- a first call distribution circuit operable to receive a service call comprising a voice component;
a first voice instrument coupled to the first call distribution circuit, the first voice instrument operable to receive the voice component;
a first contact control server coupled to the first call distribution circuit and operable to generate a data component related to the voice component;
a first workstation coupled to the first contact control server and operable to receive the data component;
a second call distribution circuit operable to receive the voice component in an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)-supported transfer call via a first communication path from the first call distribution circuit, the ISDN-supported transfer call specifying an identifier associated with the first voice instrument, the second call distribution circuit operable to determine the identifier from the ISDN-supported transfer call;
a second voice instrument coupled to the second call distribution circuit and operable to receive the voice component;
a second contact control server coupled to the second call distribution circuit, the second contact control server operable to receive the data component via a second communication path from the first contact control server, the second contact control server operable to associate the data component and the voice component using the identifier; and
a second workstation coupled to the second contact control server and operable to receive the data component.

Abstract
A system is provided for transferring a voice component and a data component of a service call. The system includes a first call distribution circuit which receives a service call comprising a voice component. A first voice instrument and a first contact control server are coupled to the first call distribution circuit. The first voice instrument receives the voice component. The first contact control server generates a data component related to the voice component. A first workstation, coupled to the first contact control server, receives the data component. A second call distribution circuit receives the voice component in an ISDN-supported transfer call via a first communication path from the first call distribution circuit. The ISDN-supported transfer call specifies an identifier associated with the first voice instrument. The second call distribution circuit determines the identifier from the ISDN-supported transfer call. A second voice instrument and a second contact control server are coupled to the second call distribution circuit. The second voice instrument receives the voice component. The second contact control server receives the data component via a second communication path from the first contact control server. The second contact control server associates the data component and the voice component using the identifier. A second workstation, coupled to the second contact control server, receives the data component.

12. A method for transferring a voice component and a data component of a service call, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a service call comprising a voice component at a first call distribution circuit; receiving the voice component at a first voice instrument; generating a data component related to the voice component using a first contact control server; receiving the data component at a first workstation; receiving the voice component in an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)-supported transfer call via a first communication path from the first call distribution circuit to a second call distribution circuit, the ISDN-supported transfer call specifying an identifier associated with the first voice instrument; determining the identifier from the ISDN-supported transfer call; receiving the data component via a second communication path from the first contact control server to a second contact control server; and associating the data component and the voice component using the identifier. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
