SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CUSTOMER INTERACTIONS FOR CONTACT CENTER BASED ON AGENT PROXIMITY
First Claim
1. A method for managing customer interactions for a customer contact center, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, information on an interaction to be routed;
identifying, by the processor, a context associated with the interaction;
receiving, by the processor, first proximity information relating to a proximity between an electronic device and a first proximity device;
adjusting, by the processor, a proficiency level of an agent corresponding to the context associated with the interaction to a first value in response to the receiving of the first proximity information;
determining, by the processor, whether or not the agent is qualified to handle the interaction based on the proficiency level; and
transmitting, by the processor, a message for routing the interaction to the agent in response to determining the agent is qualified to handle the interaction based on the proficiency level.

11. A system for managing customer interactions for a customer contact center, the system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; receive information on an interaction to be routed; identify a context associated with the interaction; receive first proximity information relating to a proximity between an electronic device and a first proximity device; adjust a proficiency level of an agent corresponding to the context associated with the interaction to a first value in response to the receiving of the first proximity information; determine whether or not the agent is qualified to handle the interaction based on the proficiency level; and transmit a message for routing the interaction to the agent in response to determining the agent is qualified to handle the interaction based on the proficiency level. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
