System and method for recording incoming calls on demand in a transaction processing system
First Claim
1. A recording system for recording calls between callers and agents of a transaction processing system, the recording system comprising:
- an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway;
an interface configured to operatively couple the IP gateway to the transaction processing system;
a communication network operatively coupled to the IP gateway, the IP gateway configured to convert a call received from the transaction processing system into IP protocol data, and provide the IP protocol data to the communication network;
a processor operatively coupled to the communication network and configured to receive the IP protocol data; and
a memory storage system operatively coupled to the processor and configured to store the IP protocol data;
a switch controlled by an agent and settable between a record-on mode and a record-off mode wherein the memory storage system records the call if the switch is set to the record-on mode and does not record the call if the switch is set to the record-off mode; and
an agent profile having a recording mode preference so that all calls serviced by an agent are automatically recorded if the preference is set to an always-record mode, and are not recorded if the preference is set to a no-record mode.

Abstract
A recording system for recording calls between callers and agents of a transaction processing system includes an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway, an interface configured to operatively couple the IP gateway to the transaction processing system, a communication network operatively coupled to the IP gateway, where the IP gateway is configured to convert a call received from the transaction processing system into IP protocol data, and provide the IP protocol data to the communication network. Also included is a memory storage system operatively coupled to the processor and configured to store the IP protocol data, a processor operatively coupled to the communication network and configured to receive the IP protocol data, and a switch controlled by the agent and settable between a record-on mode and record-off mode such that the recording system records the call if the switch is set to the record-on mode and does not record the call if the switch is set to the record-off mode. The recording system can also playback various recorded messages, and play music while a call is on hold.

13. A recording system for selectively recording calls between callers and agents of a transaction processing system, the recording system comprising:
-
means for converting a call received from the transaction processing system into IP protocol data; an interface configured to operatively couple the means for converting, to the transaction processing system; a communication network operatively coupled to the means for converting and configured to receive the IP protocol data from the means for converting; means for processing operatively coupled to the communication network and configured to receive the IP protocol data from the communication network; means for storing operatively coupled to the processor and configured to store the IP protocol data; and means for switching controlled by an agent and settable between a record-on mode and a record-off mode wherein the means for storing records the call if the means for switching is set to the record-on mode and does not record the call if the means for switching is set to the record-off mode and wherein a plurality of portions of at least one call are recorded on demand by an agent by selecting between the record-on mode and the record-off mode. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for recording calls between callers and agents of a transaction processing system, the method comprising:
-
interfacing an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway with the transaction processing system; operatively coupling a communication network to the gateway; converting, by the gateway, the call received from the transaction processing system into IP protocol data; transmitting the IP protocol data to the communication network; storing the IP protocol data in a memory storage system; and controlling a switch that is settable between a record-on mode and a record-off mode wherein the call is recorded if the switch is set to the record-on mode and the call is not recorded if the switch is set to the record-off mode, and wherein a plurality of portions of at least one call are recorded on demand by an agent by selecting between the record-on mode and the record-off mode. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

32. A recording system for recording calls between callers and agents of a transaction processing system, the recording system comprising:
-
an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway; an interface configured to operatively couple the IP gateway to the transaction processing system; a communication network operatively coupled to the IP gateway, the IP gateway configured to convert a call received from the transaction processing system into IP protocol data, and provide the IP protocol data to the communication network; a processor operatively coupled to the communication network and configured to receive the IP protocol data; a memory storage system operatively coupled to the processor and configured to store the IP protocol data; a switch controlled by an agent and settable between a record-on mode and a record-off mode wherein the memory storage system records the call if the switch is set to the record-on mode and does not record the call if the switch is set to the record-off mode; and wherein the communications network is configured to receive text-based data corresponding to an incoming call and provide the text-based data to the processor for storage in the memory storage system.
