Carrier-implemented call event data management
First Claim
1. A method implemented on an information handling system for managing call event data for caller-to-agent-by-carrier calls comprising:
- providing a customer information database with a plurality of customer data records wherein each customer data record comprises a plurality of caller facts, the plurality of caller facts comprising a caller identity and a customer phone number;
receiving a phone call from a caller at a destination phone number and generating a first telephonic connection with that caller;
playing a preselected audio recording to the caller over the first telephonic connection;
determining the caller phone number with a caller identification device;
selecting a customer data record from the customer information database corresponding to the caller phone number;
storing a call occurrence in the customer data record of the customer information database;
generating a second telephonic connection with an agent;
generating a computer network connection with the agent;
sending one or more of the caller facts to the agent via the computer network connection;
establishing voice communication between the caller and the agent, the voice communication having a call duration; and
