A method of tracking calls received within a call center is disclosed. A call is received within a call center switch that is connected to a call center via a host interface link (HIL). The call center has an automatic call distributor (ACD) server and interactive voice response (IVR) server, which is functionally integrated with the ACD server. The call is routed to the IVR server of the call center and responses are solicited from the caller to determine a requested type of service and what skills are required for answering a call. A route request based on an HIL protocol is determined within the call center and includes a new extension number and HIL messages. The call is routed based on the route request back to the call center and to an agent via the ACD server and HIL link such that the call can be tracked while in the call center and in queue.

One or more session identifiers (IDs) are used to identify a consumer's browsing session through a network, such as an Internet browsing session for real estate information. The session ID(s) and related browsing data are stored, thereby tracking and capturing data pertaining to the consumer and / or the consumer's preferences. When the consumer views details of an item of interest (such as a home), details about the home are captured and stored, and a telephone number and telephone extension number are presented to the consumer. The telephone extension number is associated with the session ID(s). When the consumer dials the telephone number and provides the telephone extension number to make further inquiries about the home, the telephone call is directed to a call center, and an operator at the call center uses the telephone extension number as input to a lead tracking computing system that uses the telephone extension number to locate the associated session ID and to access the corresponding browsing data. The lead tracking computing system generates a script for use by the operator in conducting a dialog with the consumer to obtain additional information, thereby facilitating service of the consumer. The consumer's inquiry is a lead that can then be provided to a lead distribution system.

The present invention is directed to a method and system for routing communications. A plurality of communication devices are coupled to a communications network. Each communication device has a device identifier. A user-programmable database associates each of a plurality of user identifiers with a device identifier. A call-routing switch arrangement is coupled to the communication network through a portal communication device having a portal identifier. A user designates a destination user identifier when making a communication. The call-routing switches the call, directing the call to a destination device identifier responsive to the user-programmable database association between the destination user identifier and a device identifier. According to the present invention, communications are directed to users and are routed to associated equipment, a user identifier serving as a virtual extension number. Users remotely program the database to direct their calls to communication devices at various geographic, voice mail and e-mail destinations.

The present invention relates to a communication method integrating network and extension forwarding to automatically broadcast caller messages to specific computer IP addresses, which will transmit in real-time the caller messages to a computer specified by each extension user, and display all kinds of information in a multimedia form, via network.

The invention discloses a method to realize the call diversion of blue-tooth mobile phone by dynamic extension number. It includes: blue-tooth mobile phone, blue-tooth gateway and intelligent network of the network side. The invention includes the following steps: the gateway distributes the extension number for the mobile phone when matching the gateway; the gateway registers the number of the mobile phone to static network; when the fixed telephone calls mobile phone, gateway can inform the corresponding mobile phone to ringing; when mobile phone calls mobile phone, mobile network diverts the coming call to gateway and gateway ringing; when the mobile phone leaves form gateway, the mobile phone would be logout of the call diversion and gateway would be logout of the register information. Mobile phone would seamlessly divert between mobile network and static network by using the invention. When the mobile phone call diverts to fixed telephone, the quality of the call would be improved. When mobile phone is callout by gateway, the number would be shown on coming call of the other side. When making a call by fixed telephone, gateway can accurately divert the coming call to the corresponding mobile phone and free for picking-up. When mobile phone calls mobile phone, the cost is the same as that of call diversion.

The invention realizes the access of an IP PBX (Private Branch Exchange) into a telecommunication network and the deep integration application of the telecommunication network and an enterprise network.

A multi-user telephone system composed of a plurality of user networks installed at the same general location. Each user network has a different telephone number and a plurality of VOIP extensions each having a different extension number. A server, upon confirming the address of an outgoing VOIP signal as an address of an intended recipient of the outgoing VOIP signal, permits the outgoing VOIP to be conducted to the internet. The VOIP extensions also can develop outgoing PSTN signals for transmission via a public switched telephone network. The server, upon detecting a PSTN outgoing signal, permits the outgoing PSTN signal to be conducted to a public switched telephone network. The server also confirms that the address of an incoming signal, from the internet or from a public switched telephone network, is an address of an extension in one of the user networks.

A Web server provides the following service when being accessed by a telephone with a browser via the Internet, the server transfers a list of extension groups and the persons in charge belonging to the groups to the telephone. After the desired person in charge is selected from the list on the telephone, the server notifies the telephone of an outside-line telephone number direct-dialing-connectable to the telephone used by the person in charge. The server informs a private branch exchange of information including the telephone number of the telephone and the extension number of the extension telephone used by the person in charge. Thereafter, the private branch exchange, when receiving an incoming call from the telephone, directly calls up the extension telephone with the extension number previously notified by the server.
