Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of assisting an operator of a call center.
- An operator of a call center must provide answers to various requests. To assist it, it is known to use servers analyzing a request when it is received in order to transmit to this operator, together with the request, categories of possible responses.
- the call center server when a request is received by the call center server - for example by an e-mail or an SMS, for "Short Message Standard" in English, the server analyzes the latter to identify key words that make it possible to perform a statistical search among different categories of answers to identify the most relevant categories.
- a request sent by email can be in the following form:
- a method according to the prior art can analyze this request to detect the keywords "user manual” and "XCV reader". From these keywords, a router responsible for transmitting the request to an operator can first identify categories of responses, according to statistical criteria, to transmit them to this operator with the request.
- this interface 108 is presented as a window displayed on a screen, visible to the operator, and in which the request 100 is presented.
- a column 101 has categories 102, 104 and 106 each comprising standard responses related to their categories. So, the operator can search, within each category, a standard response adapted to the request 100.
- the present invention aims to solve this problem. It results from the observation that, when an operator has identified the standard response to a request, it is possible to use this identification to associate, with this request, the standard response actually transmitted by the operator. Thus, if this request is again presented, the standard response actually transmitted can be communicated to the operator with the newly presented request.
- the method comprises the step of using a router to identify the representative elements of the received request, to search in a base of standard responses the preferred response and to transmit these representative elements and this standard response to a service. assistance and the operator.
- the invention also relates to an assistance base for an operator of a call center having to answer an information request, received by this call center, by means of a standard response stored in a base of standard responses, this standard response database being automatically used to provide the operator with possible responses to the information request, characterized in that it comprises:
- FIG. 1, already described, is an illustration of the assistance performed by a call center server according to the prior art
- FIG. 2 is an illustration of the assistance provided by a server according to the invention
- - Figure 3 is a representative diagram of the implementation of a method according to the invention.
- this interface 208 is presented as a window displayed on a screen, accessed by an operator, and in which a request 200 is presented.
- a column has, on the one hand, a response 201 automatically selected from elements representative of the request 200 - key words in this embodiment - and statistical operations and, on the other hand, responses 202 , 204, and 206 alternatives that have been retained by operators vis-à-vis similar previous requests, that is to say having representative elements similar or identical to those of the query 200.
- responses 202, 204 and 206 alternatives are indicated with each alternative response the number of times, or "hits" in English, that this alternative response was selected - in parentheses in Figure 2.
- the information request 200 is transmitted to an operator 302 by means of, for example, an electronic mail, a telephone call or an SMS for "Short Message Standard" in English.
- these keywords and the selected response are transmitted to a support server 308 associated with a database 310 storing the answers transmitted by the call center operator (s) according to the corresponding requests.
- the operator 302 receives the request 200 as well as response elements formed by, on the one hand, the response 201 automatically selected from the key words of the request and, on the other hand, the responses 202, 204 and 206 alternatives that were retained by operators vis-à-vis the same request.
- the alternative responses may include an indication of the number of times each has been transmitted in response to the request.
- the indication of the number of times an alternative response 202, 204 or 206 has been transmitted in response to a request may correspond, more precisely, to the number of times that this alternative response has been preferred - and thus transmitted - to this same selected response 201. Therefore, the operator 302 can quickly and simply consult on its screen 208 of the interface 209 presenting the request 200, the selected response 201 and the alternative responses 202, 204 and 206, to identify the standard answer for query 201.
- the base 310 is set up to date by receiving a copy of the identified response - thereby increasing by one the number of times the identified response has been selected for the request 200.
- the present invention is capable of many variations.
- the bases 306 and 310 may be formed by a single and same base accessible to the analyzer 304 and the server 308.
- different languages and protocols can be implemented to allow satisfactory communication between the various elements of the system, and in particular between the router 304, the server 308 and the interface 209.
- different programming languages such as SQL for "Structured Query Language" in English, can be implemented to manage this database.
- the router 304 can access the base 310 so that, for example, the method determining the selected response takes into account the number of times that this response has been transmitted for a request.
- the representative elements of a query are key words but other parameters, such as the origin geography, the address of the sender of the request or the date of the request, can be taken into account to define a request.
