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.

Methods and systems for information streaming to user interface

Embodiments of computer-implemented methods and systems for information streaming to a user interface include receiving, at a networked contact center, a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request to stream information to a user interface, establishing a persistent HTTP connection to the user interface, receiving the information, the information including one or more events associated with the networked contact center, and sending the one or more events via the persistent HTTP connection, the one or more events resulting in a change in the user interface without further HTTP requests from the user interface.
