Abstract

See full text

When a call to a call center is enqueued to await an agent or placed on hold by an agent, an applet customized to satisfy an in-queue experience selected by the caller is downloaded to and executed on the caller's terminal. The applet presents information to the caller, and may also interact with the caller by, for example, gathering information from the caller. The time needed for execution of the selected applet is within a wait time negotiated with the caller. Preferably, the caller is identified (e.g., via the caller's address or identifier), and the applet is further customized for that caller's preferences, e.g., based on previously-gathered and stored information about that caller. When the agent is about ready to take the call, the caller is alerted. When an agent dequeues the call or takes the call off hold, connection of the agent with the client is (re)established.
