Networked contact center user interface

1. An apparatus comprising:

a networked contact center configured to facilitate incoming calls from customers to a plurality of tenants of the networked contact center;

a circuit device configured and arranged to

display a toggle switch that is defined according to a selectable area within a viewable frame, that is initially selectable via user-input to the apparatus and displays graphical information identifying a function that is responsive to a selection of the selectable area,

determine one of the plurality of tenants to which a communication of the networked contact center is directed and to provide access to data of a determined one of the plurality of tenants via a graphical user interface including the viewable frame, and

in response to the selectable area being selected:

cause the selectable area to become un-selectable;

execute the function within the apparatus to establish the communication of the networked contact center and with a user of the apparatus, wherein the communication includes at least one of a voice communication, a chat communication and an email communication; and

display further graphical information in the selectable area within the frame, the further graphical information depicting a status of the communication of the networked contact center; and

wherein the graphical information and the further graphical information are associated with the status of the contact center communication between at least two of an agent of the tenant, a customer and the networked contact center, and the circuit device is configured and arranged to display the further graphical information for viewing by at least one of the agent and the customer, and wherein the circuit device is further configured and arranged to, in response to determining the one of the plurality of tenants to which the communication of the networked contact center is directed, retrieve a response to provide to the customer from the data of the tenant and display the response.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the function is a circuit-implemented function including at least one of a dial function to initiate the voice communication, a chat function to initiate the chat communication, a hold function in which the voice or chat communication is suspended until the voice or chat communication is resumed, a resume function to resume the voice or chat communication that is suspended, a mute function to mute voice input in the voice communication, a transfer function to transfer a voice or chat communication to an entity, and an end function to end the voice or chat communication.

3. An apparatus comprising:

a circuit device configured and arranged to

display a toggle switch that is defined according to a selectable area within a viewable frame, that is initially selectable via user-input to the apparatus and displays graphical information identifying a function that is responsive to a selection of the selectable area, and

in response to the selectable area being selected:

cause the selectable area to become un-selectable;

execute the function within the apparatus to establish a communication of a networked contact center and with a user of the apparatus; and

display further graphical information in the selectable area within the frame, the further graphical information depicting a status of the communication of the networked contact center,

wherein the toggle switch displays the graphical information by displaying information identifying a circuit-executable function that is executable to control data communications between the apparatus and the networked contact center, and causes initiation of the function by causing initiation of the circuit-executable function in response to user-interaction with the toggle switch, and

further including an input module configured and arranged to detect the selection of a frame displayed via the apparatus, the apparatus being configured and arranged with the input module to display the graphical information in an un-selectable format in which the input module does not detect selection of the graphical information.

4. An apparatus comprising:

a circuit-based device configured and arranged to

provide a frame to present, to a user, first information in a selectable format that allows a user to select the first information by selecting the frame;

replace, in response to a user-input selection of the selectable format that is received via the circuit-based device, the first information with second information in an un-selectable format, the second information including status information characterizing a circuit-implemented communication function carried out via a networked contact center in response to the user-input selection;

execute the circuit-implemented communication function; and

modify the second information according to a status of the communication function, wherein the circuit-based device is further configured and arranged to

execute the circuit-implemented communication function controlling data communications between the apparatus and the networked contact center,

display the first information by displaying information identifying the circuit-implemented communication function, and

cause initiation of the circuit-implemented communication function in response to the user-input selection provided via the circuit-based device, and

further including an input module configured and arranged to detect the selection of the frame as displayed via the circuit-based device, the apparatus being configured and arranged with the input module to display graphical information in an un-selectable format in which the input module does not detect selection of the frame.
