Description

The call queuing method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, particularly relate to a kind of call queuing method that is applied to call center system.
Background technology
At present, call center system keeps the invisible service window that is closely connected as enterprise and user terminal, in important effects of aspect play more and more such as products propaganda, production marketing, technical support, after-sale service, consulting and complaints, in the production of enterprise, business activities, playing the part of more and more important role.Described call center system refers to telephone system is connected to information database, make the telephone subscriber can pass through telephone terminal access computer canned data, utilize computer speech automatic answering equipment or seat representative (being the manual position terminal) that the information that the user need retrieve is play-overed to the user simultaneously, make the communication of enterprise and user terminal more direct, more convenient.
Usually, call center system is by ACD (Automatic Call Distribution, automatically call distribution) unit, IVR (Interactive Voice Response, automatic voice responding) unit, CCS (Call Control Server, call control server), Agent (seat representative) unit, database server, and formations such as Web server, Resource Server that realize the Web call center.
Wherein, described seat representative unit comprises a plurality of seat terminals.Described seat terminal is divided into different skill queue according to COS.The seat terminal that same skill queue is corresponding different; Same seat terminal can belong to different skill queue.
In actual applications, call center system need be handled a large amount of call requests, therefore the situation that call request is waited in line to respond occurs through regular meeting.
Seeing also Fig. 1, is the flow process that prior art is handled call request.
The called telephone that call center system detects from user terminal enters.
Call control server receives calling number, and voice suggestion is play in control automatic voice responding unit.
Service request is collected in the automatic voice responding unit, and is sent to call control server.
Call control server is judged the type of service request, judges this service request simultaneously by the automatic voice responding cell response, still by the seat terminal response, and carries out corresponding routing configuration.
If call request is by the automatic voice responding cell response, then call control server is notified automatic call distribution unit, and indicate automatic call distribution unit to keep the connection and the information interaction of communication link between automatic voice responding unit and the user terminal, with service requests such as the consulting of finishing the user, complaints.
If call request is responded by the seat terminal, whether then call control server is according to the type selecting skill queue of service request, and have the seat terminal to be in " free time " state in the judgemental skill formation.If not, then call control server sends instruction to automatic call distribution unit, indicates automatic call distribution unit to keep calling out, and waits for the seat terminal free time.
In case call control server is known the seat terminal free time, send instruction to automatic call distribution unit, indicate the communication link between automatic call distribution unit call establishment terminal and the seat terminal, seat terminal response service request.
The seat terminal responds the service request of user terminal by means of the information resources that database server, Web server, Resource Server provide.
So far, call request processing procedure finishes.
When call center system was busy, the call queuing method that prior art provides can be lined up call request, and responded during the free time in system.But still there is following defective inevitably in said method in actual applications:
Since in the prior art, the corresponding a plurality of seat terminals of skill queue.After call request entered call center system, which skill queue response call control server was determined by according to the COS of call request, and is judged whether have the seat terminal to be in " free time " state in the described skill queue.If the total agent terminal all is in " doing " state, then call request need be lined up and be responded to wait for.There is the seat terminal to be in " free time " state in case call control server is known, just notifies continue communication link between described user terminal and the idle seat terminal of automatic call distribution unit, and by the seat terminal response service request of free time.In this case, if user terminal wishes to specify the seat terminal D to come the respond services request, then the seat terminal of final respond services request is not the specified seat terminal D of user terminal probably, but other seat terminals.Like this, because the seat terminal of respond services request is not that user terminal is specified, will make that the response time of service request is longer, and user's satisfaction is not high.Thereby cause the operating efficiency of whole call center system lower.

Database server is mainly used in storage user terminal information, Business Information, service log, complaint content, accepts various information such as record, charging daily record, and the data access service of different levels is provided for the seat terminal.
Seeing also Fig. 3, is the schematic flow sheet of call queuing method provided by the invention.
Call queuing method provided by the invention can be applied to aforementioned call center system.
Step S1, the calling that user terminal 10 sends enters call center system by PSTN, and voice suggestion is play in automatic voice responding unit 5, and the service request of collecting is sent to call control server 3.
Step S2, call control server 3 judge that whether service request is by 4 responses of seat representative unit.
If not, then change step S4 over to, call distribution unit 1 keeps user terminal 10 with the communication link between the automatic voice responding unit 5, by the 5 respond services requests of automatic voice responding unit automatically.
If, then entering step S3, call control server 3 continues to judge that whether described service request is responded by the seat terminal of appointment.
If not, then change step S5 over to, enter the flow process of seat terminal processes call request in the prior art.
Respond if described service request is the seat terminal by appointment, then enter step S6, call control server 3 continues to judge whether appointed seat terminal is in " doing " state.Because it still is " free time " state that automatic voice responding unit 5, seat representative unit 4 report current being in " to hurry " to call control server 3 in real time, therefore, accurately write down automatic voice responding unit 5, seat representative unit 4 current working state in the call control server 3.
If not, then change step S9 over to.
If then change step S7 over to.Call control server 3 sends signal to automatic call distribution unit 1, indicates in the privately owned formation of operator of the designated seat terminal of this callings in calling memory cell 8 and waits in line.When this service request is responded by appointed seat terminal, by call control server 3 decisions.
In a single day step S8, call control server 3 find that appointed seat terminal changes " free time " state over to by " doing " state, just take out described calling in the privately owned formation of operator from this calling memory cell.
Step S9, call control server 3 sends instructions to automatic call distribution unit 1, indicate automatic call distribution unit 1 that the communication link of user terminal 10 with appointed seat terminal coupled together, thereby set up the related of service request and seat representative unit 4 in the privately owned formation of operator.The seat terminal is talked with the user under the control of call control server 3, answers the problem that the user proposes, and the suggestion of recording user etc.
Like this, just finished the process of in the privately owned formation of operator, waiting in line, also finally handling of calling out by the seat terminal of appointment.
See also Fig. 4, step S7 specifically may further comprise the steps in the present embodiment.
Step 510 when call control server 3 during to the privately owned queue for storing service request of operator, judges at first whether original service request reaches maximum queued call number in the privately owned formation of operator.
If, then expression has reached maximum queued call number, then enter step 520, rank and overflow processing, call center system can be play voice suggestion " sorry, system is too busy; please dial after a while again ", then, call control server 3 notifies automatic call distribution unit 1 to disconnect the communication link of this calling, discharges this calling.Certainly, also can voice suggestion user terminal " whether this seat end user terminal is too many, need other seat terminals to serve for you,, withdraws from by 2 please by 1 as need ", by user terminal selecting queuing overflow handling mode.
If not, represent that then original service request does not reach maximum queued call number in the privately owned formation of operator, then enter step 530, call control server 3 is notified 1 this calling of automatic call distribution unit to be in the privately owned formation of operator and is waited in line.
Step 540, call control server 3 judges whether calling reaches the maximum queue waiting time in the privately owned formation of operator.
If the queue waiting time of calling out has reached the maximum queue waiting time in the privately owned formation of operator, then enter step 550.
Step 550, call center system is play voice suggestion " cancellation is please by 1, and other seat terminals of transferring are please by 2... ", and user terminal can be selected the overtime processing mode of lining up.
If not, the queue waiting time of then representing service request does not reach the maximum queue waiting time in the privately owned formation of operator, then enters step 530, continues to wait for.
In the Call Waiting process, call center system is play and is waited in line music.
It is pointed out that call queuing method provided by the invention, not only be confined to user terminal 10 and under voice suggestion, specify specific seat terminal response service request, receive and resolve the seat terminal that caller information comes judgment processing to call out by user terminal.Wherein, described caller information comprises information such as calling number.For example, call control server 3 can determine which seat terminal processes this calling has according to calling number query-related information in database, and judges whether described seat terminal is in " doing " state.If then described calling is waited in line in the privately owned formation of this operator.In case the seat terminal free time, should call out by the seat terminal processes.
Certainly, call queuing method provided by the invention can also be applied under other situations.For example, certain seat terminal is responding this service request, and user terminal 10 is wished to deliver another seat terminal again and continued to handle.At this moment, if appointed seat terminal is in " doing " state, then call control server 3 can indicate 1 this calling of automatic call distribution unit to wait in line in the privately owned formation of appointed operator.
In addition, call queuing method provided by the invention is not only specified the seat terminal by user terminal 10, also can specify other seat terminals to carry out the transfer of seat terminal responds business by the seat terminal.Problem such as certain user terminal is very special, and the seat terminal A that is responding this calling does not handle, and then seat terminal A is to the professional request of shifting of call control server 3 sending position terminal responds.The target seat terminal that comprises this calling transfer in the described request, i.e. seat terminal B.After call control server 3 is received the message of the call transfer request that seat terminal A sends, detect seat terminal B and whether be in " doing " state, if, then call control server 3 is notified automatic call distribution unit 1, this call record then should be called out with regard to Queue here to wait for seat terminal B response during the free time in the chained list of the privately owned formation of seat terminal B.
Seeing also Fig. 5, is the flow chart of the privately owned formation attribute of configuration operator, parameter.
Step 410 is provided with the privately owned formation attribute of operator.The setting of the privately owned formation attribute of operator is similar to the setting of existing other attributes in the call center system.
In the method provided by the present invention, can allow the total agent terminal to have privately owned formation, also can only allow some or certain seat terminal to have privately owned formation.
Certainly, the default property of the privately owned formation of operator can be set also, promptly acquiescence all, some or certain seat terminal has the privately owned formation of operator.Can directly adopt the privately owned formation attribute of operator of system default like this, in actual applications.
Step 420 is provided with some parameter of the privately owned formation of operator.Certainly, in this step, also can some parameter be set according to concrete needs is default parameters.Can directly adopt the parameter of the privately owned formation of operator of system default like this, in actual applications.
Step 430 after setting completed privately owned formation attribute of operator and the parameter thereof, need be submitted this setting to call center system, just loads this setting.Described loading refers to call control server 3 and distributes according to the set attribute of step 410 and step 420 and parameter configuration or by the attribute of call center system acquiescence or parameter configuration and call out memory cell 8, and generates the privately owned queue object of operator.The privately owned queue object of described operator is used for stored calls.
After setting up the privately owned queue object of operator, just set up the association of user terminal 10 with the seat terminal.
Be example below with the securities broker company, describe and adopt method provided by the invention to realize the process of call queuing and response in the call center system.
Suppose: user terminal 10 sends the call request of the stock comment of inquiring about the same day, and specifies and answered by seat terminal E (job number is 123).
At first, user terminal 10 is set up contact with call center system to the call center system of securities broker company by PSTN, sends call request.Automatic voice responding unit 5 is play voice suggestion and is carried out Voice Navigation, as " you are good, XX securities broker company.Welcome to use 168168, mandarin is please by 1, and Guangdong language is please by 2, and English is please by 3... ", user terminal 10 is selected mandarin according to voice suggestion;
Then, automatic voice responding unit 5 is play voice suggestion and is carried out the next stage selection: " Shenzhen stock market is please by 1, and stock markets of Shanghai are please by 2 ", and user terminal 10 is selected market, Shenzhen according to voice suggestion;
Then, automatic voice responding unit 5 continues to play voice suggestion: " please import shareholder's number of the account ", and user terminal 10 is according to voice suggestion input shareholder number of the account;
Automatic voice responding unit 5 continues to play voice suggestion then: " please import trading password ", and user terminal 10 is according to voice suggestion input trading password;
