Background technology
Current, country in having a large amount of development of population is such as China, such as public places such as bank outlets, hospital clinic, security business office and train ticket commercial networks, a kind of universal phenomenon of lining up.Even in developed country, the problem of queuing also exists, such as, in some famous restaurants, night shop etc.
In the more underdeveloped area of some economy, people still rank with the original mode of standing, and this not only loses time, and make the client relatively more tired easily.In order to improve this situation, a kind of Zero queuing system has all been introduced in now a lot of public places.With the bank service is example, when the user arrives bank's transacting business, at first obtains a number through queue machine, can be sitting in then on one side and perhaps nearby walk about, and not spend the queuing of standing, and when taking turns to the number of oneself, just goes the acceptance service.
This Zero queuing system generally comprises following function:
Keeping of static order;
Distribute new formation sequence number, and the waiting time of estimating (being printed on paper slip or the queuing list) is provided; And
Only notify the next formation sequence number that will be served.
Compare with the queuing of standing, this Zero queuing system has improved work efficiency, and has improved user experience.But this Zero queuing system still has many problems.Such as, when the user needs transacting business, still need go still need stay the scene and dare not walk far away because be afraid of the order that has missed oneself after the scene number of getting and the number of getting.This section waiting time remains reward for writing or painting source waste for the user.In addition, under most of situations, waiting time can be very long.This can let the user who waits in line become very irritated again.
For some situation, existing Zero queuing system still can't provide comparatively rational solution.Such as, when certain user away from keyboard, and by chance during this period of time this user taken turns to, the number that can call out this user in the loudspeaker is many times.If this user fails in time to return, his number will be skipped so.And after this user returns, can only requeue, be discharged to the whipper-in of troop.Under this situation, for called user, need requeue after returning, waste a lot of times, and for other users, repeatedly call out before and have no result the employed time, also be a kind of time waste.
In addition, for certain situation, such as certain user because can't bear to stand very long queuing time or when abandoning lining up because of urgent thing, this sequence number can not be abandoned in active.When taking turns to this user, the expensive time still can be called out this user's number by outlet.
Because existing queuing order can not be supported dynamic queuing, so the user can not delay or cancel its order.This has not only caused very big inconvenience to the user, and has wasted social resources.
Also have, according to present Zero queuing system, the user who is lining up can not grasp remaining queuing time in real time.Though can providing, prior art estimates waiting time; But right and wrong are dynamic, can only when user's number of getting, provide an estimated time, and are very inaccurate often; Can not embody on-the-spot real situation; It is, when increasing such as business window when perhaps changing appears in outlet's processing power, very dumb when especially front troop occur to change such as there being the user to leave.

According to native system 100, when the user needs a certain service, go bank counter to buy certain finance product such as needs; This user can stay at home or office in; Perhaps anywhere is through multiple channel, such as mobile phone 106, landline telephone 108 or computing machine 110; Send reserve requests through network 102 to the queuing Control Server 112 related, and the date and time of the transacting business of the required class of business of handling, expectation is sent to queuing Control Server 112 simultaneously with this bank.Simultaneously; This user can also report to the current location of oneself server 112; And the traffic handing capacity of near the location distribution situation of the outlet server 112 consulting, relevant outlet is such as current business personnel's quantity of serving and average processing speed, and the information such as the number of waiting in line of these outlets.Certainly, queuing Control Server 112 can also obtain user position information from external server that positioning function can be provided 114, obtains user position information from the node of core net.The user can also seek advice from other problem, and such as when patient goes to a hospital to see a doctor, the user can also inquire about relevant outpatient service expert's information in advance, to confirm oneself when preengaging which doctor according to feedback.
After queuing Control Server 112 receives user's reserve requests, will at first check user's mandate.If the user is eligible, then further be its distribution queue sequence number and estimate waiting time.Then, queuing Control Server 112 sends back to the user to formation sequence number and information such as estimating waiting time to confirm by network 102.
Problem for user's consulting; Such as the traffic handing capacity of relevant outlet distribution situation, relevant outlet such as and the problems such as the number of waiting in line of these outlets, queuing Control Server 112 can be made and answer and the result is fed back to the user simultaneously.
After the user receives queuing Control Server 112 feedacks, can whether participate in lining up and ranking according to these feedback information decisions, and decision is sent back to queuing Control Server 112 in which site.
If queuing is not participated in user's decision, queuing Control Server 112 will no longer keep the formation sequence number of distributing to this user before for this user.
If the user determines to participate in queuing, obtain so again after user's the affirmation, queuing Control Server 112 will be put on record to this user, and further set reminder time and alert condition.
Reminder time and alert condition can be set by user oneself.Such as, the user can oneself set: two man-hours of residue are reminded when the front; Remind when perhaps also remaining ten minutes.The user can also oneself set alerting pattern in addition, can require system to send prompting message with multimedia mode such as the user, such as, audio call, text message or pop music or the like.The user can also require queuing control system to send to one or more specific terminals to prompting message, such as sending to simultaneously on mobile phone (with the text message mode) and the computer (with the e-mail mode).
If the user does not set prompting message, so system with default settings to reminder time of this user and alert condition, alerting pattern, terminal to be reminded etc.
Can keep in real time linking up between outlet 104 and the queuing Control Server 112; Be periodically to link up in the cycle such as 3 minutes perhaps with certain time period; Know the up-to-date information at outlet 104 places with the Control Server 112 of guaranteeing to line up, such as information such as the quantity of business window, current queue number, average handling times always.
After the user receives prompting, generally can come outlet, wait final notice.When taking turns to this user, can send last notice by display screen, the loudspeaker of outlet, also can send last notice by queuing Control Server 112.
Simultaneously, when the user when waiting in line, queuing Control Server 112 can also obtain advertisements or amusement information and advertisement and amusement information are sent to the user from external server 116.External server 116 can be any server of storing the magnanimity multimedia document, and content can relate to music, film, recreation, advertisement, medical science general knowledge, financial knowledge, market conditions information, policy news or the like.It is professional that queuing Control Server 112 can learn that the user has subscribed to certain information increment according to the service subscription information of user's signature; Queuing Control Server 112 just sends prompting after the user gets into waiting status; Select oneself to hope to dismiss the mode of stand-by period by the user; According to user's selection, connect corresponding external server 116 then, corresponding information or entertainment way are provided.
Can know that according to above explanation through Zero queuing system 100, the user can obtain the formation sequence number such as mobile phone, the Internet through multiple flexible way.Zero queuing system 100 can calculate continuously and estimate waiting time, makes that the situation of queuing is followed up in real time, and is reminded the user in time, notifies the user through mobile phone or the Internet.Like this, the user just can use very long waiting time, handles the thing of oneself at leisure, and does not worry having missed the order of oneself.This shows that Zero queuing system 100 is a kind of very queuing systems of intelligence, can bring extraordinary user experience, and greatly save social resources.
Fig. 2 A shows the core cell in the Zero queuing system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention: queuing control system 200.This queuing control system 200 generally can be integrated on the queuing Control Server 112.Shown in Fig. 2 A, queuing control system 200 comprises input/output module 202, predetermined module 204, prompting module 206, notification module 208 and dynamic queue module 210.
