METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INFORMATION STREAMING TO USER INTERFACE

Abstract:

Methods and systems are disclosed for information streaming to a user interface via a networked contact center. In one example, a system includes communications computer circuitry to receive, at a networked contact center, a request to stream information to a user interface, the user interface being associated with the networked contact center and an agent to be contacted by others. Information streaming circuitry streams the requested information and to open a network connection between the user interface and a server of a networked contact center, and the information streaming circuitry keeps the network connection between the user interface and the server open as a persistent network connection to the user interface. The communications computer circuitry also pushes one or more events to the user interface via the persistent network connection to cause a change in the user interface without further network requests to the server from the user interface.
