Patent

CA 2352973

A telephone switching and routing system has a first switching apparatus (15) for receiving incoming calls (29), a first processor (17) connected to the first switching apparatus (15), and a plurality of destination sites (33) each connected to the first switching apparatus (15) by a telephony trunk (37), each destination site (33) including a destination processor (41) coupled to the first processor (17) by a communication link (39) separate from the telephony trunk (37). The first processor (17) connected to the first switching apparatus (15) maintains a list of incoming calls (29) received at the first switching apparatus (15) as a virtual queue (25), wherein individual ones of the destination processors (41) at the destination sites (33) monitor local agent status and skill sets, and request switching of calls from the published lists as agents become available to handle new calls and the first processor (17) in response to requests from the destination processors (41) controls the first switching apparatus (15) to switch calls to the requesting destinations sites (33).

L'invention porte sur un système de commutation et d'acheminement d'appels téléphoniques qui comporte un premier appareil (15) de commutation permettant de recevoir des appels (29) entrants, un premier processeur (17) raccordé au premier appareil (15) de commutation et une pluralité de sites (33) de destination raccordés chacun au premier appareil (15) de commutation par un central (37) téléphonique. Chaque site (33) de destination comprend un processeur (41) de destination couplé au premier processeur (17) par une liaison (39) de communication séparée du central (37) téléphonique. Le premier processeur (17) raccordé au premier appareil (15) de commutation conserve une liste d'appels (29) entrants reçus au niveau du premier appareil (15) de commutation sous forme d'une file (25) d'attente virtuelle. Certains des processeurs (41) de destination au niveau des sites (33) de destination contrôlent les associations entre les compétences et les statuts des agents locaux et lancent les commutations des appels en se basant sur des listes publiées au fur et à mesure que les agents devenus libres sont à même de prendre en charge de nouveaux appels. Le premier processeur (17), en réaction aux demandes des processeurs (41) de destination, commande le premier appareil (15) de commutation afin que celui-ci commute des appels vers des sites (33) de destinations demandés.
