6891937, May 10, 2005

Filed:

Dec 8, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/456311

Inventors:

Robert C. Kuhn - Dillsburg PA, US
Michael F. Gleason - Fairfield PA, US

Assignee:

TSR, Inc. - Dillsburg PA

International Classification:

H04M015/00

US Classification:

37911201, 37912106, 379156, 379164

Abstract:

Telecommunications customers must frequently utilize the facilities of many different telecommunications service providers in order to transmit data from one location to another. When a telecommunications customer encounters a network problem, that customer usually must navigate a complicated web of service providers and equipment owners in order to receive meaningful technical assistance from a human technician. The present invention is designed and intended to facilitate human interactions for technical support and administrative tasks by associating customer, contract, circuit, equipment, key personnel, billing, and telco information in a database for efficient data presentation and information retrieval. Resolution of the logistical problem of tracking circuit information is achieved by organizing the information and displaying important data concurrently. Toward that end, the system modules comprising the invention share all of the circuit inventory data available, and graphical user interfaces for each module display relevant information together.
