Patent 6,724,764 - Method and apparatus for providing estimated response-wait-time displays for data network-based inquiries to a communication center
An Estimated Wait Time (EWT) service for a Web page provider has an internet-connected facility for monitoring communication status with a communication center having communication equipment hosting agents of the web page provider, and an interactive link in a web page hosted by the Web page provider. The interactive link is presented to a user accessing the Web page, and when selected, connects the user to the facility for monitoring communication status. In a preferred embodiment the facility provides a Web page display for the user, displaying parameters regarding the communication status, such as estimated wait time (EWT). In some cases there are options in a user interface for placing an Internet Phone (IP) call, for sending a message, and e-mail, and so forth, or for requesting a call back. In the case of a call back the user may, in some embodiments, provide alternative numbers or addresses and times for call back.

Pending patent 20040028211 - Method and apparatus for determining a real time average speed of answer in an automatic call distribution system
A method is provided for automatically updating a "Real Time" Average Speed of Answer, RASA, for a number of calls received by an automatic call distributor, ACD, during a set interval. This "real time" average speed of answer may be determined across a sliding time window via moving averages and exponential smoothing. The method includes the steps of computing a current average Speed of Answer, SA, for the number of calls received by the ACD during the set time interval, by dividing total waiting time to answer for these calls by the number of calls and scaling the current SA by a weight factor W. The real time average speed of answer, RASA, is updated by scaling a previous RASA by the unity complement of W, i.e. (1-W), and augmenting it by the scaled current SA.
