 ABSTRACT

WebRTC allows P2P communication between Web browsers. It has been attracting an interest in recent years and is beginning to be used in a wide range of fields. Progress in Internet technology is expected to diversify the means of communication between enterprises and customers from simple telephone calls and email to include easier and more convenient means, such as video calls and Web chats. We have developed an experimental application system that uses WebRTC to integrate a variety of task-specific communication tools, such as telephones, at a contact center with the aim of improving work efficiency there. Main functions implemented in this system include audio/video communication that involves an agreement procedure, setting up of FIFO-based inquiry channels, and visualization of access line congestion state. We have created test scenarios that simulated contact center tasks. Using these scenarios, we compared the experimental system and an existing system in terms of the response time, the degree of functional integration of tools, and usability, which is based on a system usability scale (SUS).
