Use of abstracted data in pattern matching system
First Claim
1. A method of operating a call center system, comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more computers, performance data for agents in a set of agents;
obtaining, by the one or more computers, a respective abstracted data stream for each of multiple calls, with each respective data stream having multiple different locations along the abstracted data stream representing multiple different respective fields, wherein the meaning for the field data in the respective different locations for the different respective fields is not known by the system;
determining, by the one or more computers, from respective field data positions in the respective data streams respective patterns for the respective data streams;
obtaining, by the one or more computers, performance data for the respective patterns; and
matching, by the one or more computers, using a selected matching algorithm one of the agents from the set of agents to one of the calls based at least in part on the performance data for the respective pattern of the call and based at least in part on the performance data for the respective agents of the set of agents.

Abstract
Method, system and program product, for operating a call center system, the method comprising: obtaining performance data for agents in a set of agents; obtaining a respective abstracted data stream for multiple calls, each respective data stream having multiple different locations along the abstracted data stream representing multiple different respective fields, the meaning for the field data in the respective different locations for the different respective fields not known by the system; determining respective patterns for the respective data streams; obtaining performance data for the respective patterns; matching using a selected matching algorithm one of the agents from the set of agents to one of the calls based at least in part on the performance data for the respective pattern of the call and on performance data for the respective agents of the set of agents.
