One of the technologies that support the business of the customer service department is a digital dialogue service such as a so-called chatbot. If such a digital dialogue service is adopted, it is expected that the customer and the digital dialogue service will repeat questions and answers with each other starting from the inquiry from the customer, and reach the answer requested by the customer, that is, the correct answer.

However, in reality, there are many cases where the actual content of inquiries by customers is only short sentences or keywords, which does not match the amount and format of information assumed by the response engine of the digital dialogue service. In that case, there are many cases where the correct answer is not reached even if the above-mentioned question and answer is repeated, and good answer accuracy that can withstand practical use cannot be expected.

On the other hand, as an approach to solve these problems, if the customer is requested to make inquiries in detailed and accurate expressions, the customer's satisfaction will be reduced. In addition, this may lead to avoiding the use of digital dialogue services. In this case, such a customer will be required to respond by a person as before, and as a result, it may become an obstacle to the automation of customer response operations.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of efficiently deriving and providing an answer requested by a customer in response to an inquiry consisting of limited information.

The customer support system of the present invention that solves the above-mentioned problems is a storage device that stores a data group of assumed questions and answers defined for each event of a predetermined business, and the contents of inquiries received from the customer's terminal are asked for each of the assumed questions and answers. The process of specifying the assumed question and answer whose description of the question best matches the content of the inquiry based on the predetermined rule and returning the answer in the specified assumed question and answer to the terminal, and the answer to the reply. When there is a response from the terminal that the answer is not the correct answer desired by the customer, a message is sent to the terminal to ask the customer about at least one of predetermined items for identifying each of the events. Among the process of acquiring the answer regarding the predetermined item from the terminal and the assumed question and answer regarding the event that the answer can indicate, the assumed question and answer whose description of the question best matches the inquiry content is specified based on the predetermined rule, and the above When the answer in the specified assumed question and answer is replied to the terminal and the terminal responds to the reply that the answer is the correct answer desired by the customer, the inquiry content, the correct answer, and the predetermined It is characterized by including a process of associating answers related to items and storing them as data of new assumed questions and answers in a storage device, and a calculation device for executing.
Further, in the customer response support method of the present invention, the information processing system provided with the storage device for storing the data group of the assumed questions and answers defined for each event of the predetermined business receives the inquiry contents received from the customer's terminal by the assumed questions and answers. A process of collating with each question, specifying a hypothetical question / answer whose description of the question best matches the content of the inquiry based on a predetermined rule, and returning the answer in the specified hypothetical question / answer to the terminal, and the response to the reply. When there is a response from the terminal that the answer is not the correct answer desired by the customer, a message is transmitted to the terminal to ask the customer about at least one of predetermined items for identifying each of the events. Then, among the process of acquiring the answer regarding the predetermined item from the terminal and the assumed question and answer regarding the event that the answer can indicate, the assumed question and answer whose description of the question best matches the inquiry content is specified based on the predetermined rule. Then, when the answer in the specified assumed question and answer is returned to the terminal and the terminal responds to the reply that the answer is the correct answer desired by the customer, the inquiry content, the correct answer, and the answer are received. It is characterized in that the process of associating the answers related to the predetermined items and storing them in the storage device as data of new assumed questions and answers is executed.

--- Network configuration ---
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a network configuration including the customer support system 100 of the present embodiment.

The customer support support system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a computer system that can efficiently derive and provide an answer requested by the customer in response to an inquiry consisting of limited information.
Such a customer support support system 100 is connected to the network 10 and is capable of data communication with at least the customer terminal 200. The customer terminal 200 is a terminal operated by a user of a certain business system or service. That is, the customer support support system 100 of the present embodiment is a digital dialogue service providing system that receives inquiries from customers regarding problems or unclear points that occur in such a business system or the like and automatically responds.
As an example of the customer support system 100 of the present embodiment, it is assumed that a server device having a chatbot function is a device that receives inquiries about a predetermined business system operating in a financial institution and automatically responds to the inquiries. .. In this case, the above-mentioned customer operates the customer terminal 200 to access the chatbot function of the customer support support system 100, and uses the input interface to describe and input his / her own inquiry contents regarding the above-mentioned business system. ..
On the other hand, the customer support support system 100 acquires the content of the inquiry received by the chatbot function, executes a predetermined process of the customer support support based on the inquiry content, and appropriately performs an automatic response.
However, the customer support support system 100 of the present embodiment not only performs an automatic response, but also with the customer terminal 200 (customer who operates the customer) until the correct answer (which the customer can be satisfied with) can be presented to the customer. In between, the answer to the inquiry and its correctness confirmation (whether it is correct or not), the answer according to the result of the correctness confirmation, the presentation of the specified answer based on the information obtained by this inquiry and the correctness confirmation, A series of questions and answers such as are repeated, and new assumed questions and answers obtained there are stored in the FAQ database 125 and used for subsequent automatic answers.
As described above, in the customer support system 100 of the present embodiment, it is assumed that the chatbot function is adopted as an example of the digital dialogue service, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when an automatic voice response such as IVR is adopted as a digital dialogue service, the customer response support system 100 acquires voice data in which the customer utters the inquiry content from the customer terminal 200, and uses voice recognition processing to acquire the voice data. After converting it into a text, the answer to the text is returned to the customer terminal 200 as voice data, and the above-mentioned series of questions and answers is executed.
--- Hardware configuration example ---
Further, the hardware configuration of the customer support support system 100 of this embodiment is as follows. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration example of the customer support support system 100 of the present embodiment.

In the customer support system 100, a storage device 101 composed of an appropriate non-volatile storage element such as a hard disk drive, a memory 103 composed of a volatile storage element such as RAM, and a program 102 held in the storage device 101 are stored in the memory 103. A communication device that connects to the CPU 104 (calculation device), which performs various determinations, calculations, and control processes, and performs communication processing with other devices such as the customer terminal 200, as well as performing integrated control of the system itself by reading and executing. It includes 105.
Further, when the customer support system 100 is configured to directly receive inquiries from customers as a stand-alone machine, in addition to the above configuration, an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a microphone, and an output device such as a display or a speaker are used. May be further provided. On the other hand, the customer terminal 200 naturally includes such an input / output device as a configuration as a general information processing device.
Further, in the above-mentioned storage device 101, in addition to the program 102, the FAQ database 125 is stored. However, the details of this FAQ database 125 will be described later.
Further, the program 102 includes at least a chatbot program 1021 that implements the above-mentioned chatbot function and an FAQ management program 1022 that manages the FAQ database 125. Of course, the operating system and other programs that a general computer device should have are also included, and illustrations and explanations are omitted.
--- Data structure example ---
Subsequently, the databases used by the customer support system 100 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the FAQ database 125 in this embodiment.
The FAQ database 125 of the present embodiment is a database accumulating a data group of assumed questions and answers, which is defined by assuming a situation in which a customer inquires about each of various events such as a failure that may occur in a business system of a predetermined business.
The data structure is a set of records in which each item for identifying an event that may occur in the above-mentioned business system and a weighted value are associated with a set of a question and an answer to the question.

The questions and their answers stored in the FAQ database 125 are a set of questions that are expected to occur frequently or questions that have actually been frequently asked in the past, and answers when a person with sufficient knowledge responds to them. Is.

In addition, the above-mentioned items are types of information necessary for identifying an event such as "freezing of the display screen when a predetermined operation is performed" that occurs in the business system, and are carried by the business system. In customer actions such as "business", "screen" where the corresponding event occurred, "target" such as the object to be operated on the above-mentioned "screen" and data to be processed, and double-clicking or pressing on the above-mentioned "target" It is a certain "operation" or a "phenomenon" such as a freeze that occurs with the above-mentioned "operation".

In addition, the above-mentioned weighted value is a record newly stored by executing the customer correspondence support method of the present embodiment, that is, a question from a customer and its correct answer, and a new assumed question-and-answer including the value of the above-mentioned item. Only granted and managed.
Although the details will be described later, the weighting value is managed so as to increase the weighting value each time a correct answer is derived for a newly received inquiry after the storage of the new assumed question / answer. In other words, the weighting value is managed to be decremented each time a result that the correct answer cannot be derived for the inquiry.
In other words, it shows the validity as a hypothetical question and answer as to whether or not the correct answer can be derived in the shortest time to the inquiry from the customer.
--- Flow example 1 ---
Hereinafter, the actual procedure of the customer support support method in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the figure. Various operations corresponding to the customer correspondence support method described below are realized by the program 102 that the customer correspondence support system 100 reads into the memory 103 and executes. The program 102 is composed of codes for performing various operations described below.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flow example 1 of the customer support method according to the present embodiment. Further, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the chat screen 500 and the internal processing concept 550 in the present embodiment.

Here, it is assumed that a person in charge of a certain financial institution operates a customer terminal 200 and makes an inquiry to a customer support support system 100 about an unclear point in a business system operating in the company. It is assumed that the customer support system 100 in this case is operated by the vendor who developed and delivered the business system to the financial institution. As a matter of course, such vendors have accumulated knowledge about the specifications and behavior of the target business system, and have collected it in the FAQ database 125.

First, it is assumed that the customer response support system 100 delivers a predetermined screen in response to an access from a certain customer terminal 200, and receives a call request for a chatbot function via a customer operation on a predetermined object on this screen ( s100).

Next, the customer support support system 100 activates the chatbot program 1021 in response to the above-mentioned call request, delivers the chat screen 500 (see FIG. 5) to the above-mentioned customer terminal 200, and waits for the input of the inquiry content. (S101).

The configuration of the chat screen 500 is similar to that provided by the existing chatbot service or the like, and a blowout corresponding to the writing of the bot (that is, the chatbot program 1021) is provided on one side of the left and right edges of the screen. In addition, the blowouts corresponding to the customer's writings are sequentially arranged on the other side in chronological order.

Further, the customer support support system 100 receives a text input by a customer operating a keyboard or the like on the customer terminal 200 via the chat screen 500, and acquires the text data as an inquiry content (s102).

The chat screen 500 of FIG. 5 shows an example in which the customer inputs the inquiry content "the screen freezes" on the customer terminal 200.

As shown in the concept of internal processing 550, the customer support system 100 holds the inquiry content acquired here in the memory 103 as an algebra of “q1”.

Subsequently, the customer support support system 100 uses the inquiry content (q1) acquired in s102 as a search query and collates it with the description of the "question" of each record in the FAQ database 125, and the description of the "question" is the above-mentioned inquiry content. The hypothetical question and answer that best matches with is specified based on, for example, an algorithm for determining sentence similarity such as cos similarity (s103). It is assumed that the chatbot program 1021 is provided with such an algorithm in advance or can be called and used from an external device.

In the case of the above example, both the keywords "screen" and "freeze" included in the inquiry content (q1) that "screen freezes" are included, and the importance occupied by the keywords in the text ( Alternatively, the description of the "question" of each record in the FAQ database 125 is determined from the viewpoint that the ratio) is high.

In the example of FIG. 5, as a result of such a determination, among the records of the FAQ database 125, the record "# 2" "when using the A browser, the screen freezes when the file transmission business is selected" " It can be determined that the degree of similarity with the description of "Question" is the highest, that is, it matches.

Therefore, the customer support system 100 replies to the above-mentioned customer terminal 200 via the chat screen 500 with the description "Java applet in A browser ..." which is the "answer" in the record "# 2" as an answer. (S104).

As shown in the concept of internal processing 550 of FIG. 5, the customer support system 100 holds the answer returned here in the memory 103 as an algebra of “A (2)”. Since the answer corresponds to the "answer" of the record "# 2", it is designated as A (2).

In addition, after replying to the above-mentioned answer, the customer response support system 100 chats to the customer with a message such as "Did the answer meet the customer's question?" To confirm the validity of the answer with the customer. It shall be input to the screen 500 (s105).

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned customer terminal 200, the answer from the above-mentioned customer correspondence support system 100 is displayed via the chat screen 500 and presented to the customer. The customer views this answer and considers whether the answer to the inquiry is satisfactory, that is, the correct answer. In addition, the customer inputs the result of this examination on the chat screen 500 as a reply to the above-mentioned message. On the other hand, the customer terminal 200 acquires the answer as to whether or not the answer is correct via the chat screen 500, and transmits this to the customer support support system 100.

On the other hand, when the customer response support system 100 receives the response from the customer terminal 200 described above and indicates that it is the correct answer desired by the customer (s106: y), the process ends.

On the other hand, when the above-mentioned response from the customer terminal 200 indicates that the correct answer is not desired by the customer (s106: n), the customer response support system 100 has at least one of the items specified in the FAQ database 125. Regarding one, the above-mentioned message for returning to the customer (example: please tell us a little more detail. What is the business?) Is sent to the customer terminal 200 (s107).

In this case, when the customer support system 100 transmits the above-mentioned message for listening back, the inquiry content (q1) indicates among the items (example: business, screen, target, operation, phenomenon) in the FAQ database 125. Identify the remaining items that are not available and send a message to ask back about the remaining items. In the case of the above example, the inquiry content (q1) that "screen freezes" includes the keyword "screen" but does not include information that suggests which screen it is, while it is called "freeze". Keywords suggest specific "phenomena". Therefore, in this case, a message is sent back to the customer for items other than the "phenomenon" among the above items.

However, it is preferable to listen back to a specific item that will reach the correct answer in the shortest time, rather than to listen back to all four items out of the five items exemplified in the FAQ database 125 sequentially or at once. ..

Therefore, for example, the customer support system 100 checks the existence of a value for each of the five items of each record of the FAQ database 125, classifies each item so high that the record does not have a value, and ranks the highest. It is preferable to perform control for s106 to be heard back from the item of. Alternatively, for each item, when the item is answered back, the history of the number of times the answer message is sent, which is required until the final correct answer is reached, is managed, and the number of times of transmission indicated by the history is small. You may preferentially listen back to the items.

Subsequently, the customer response support system 100 receives a response from the customer terminal 200 described above to a message for returning a response to the predetermined item (s108). Here, as an example, it is assumed that one of the five items is asked back about "business" and a reply is obtained.

It is assumed that the customer support support system 100 obtains a response of "setting change" via the chat screen 500 with respect to the item "business" received in the above-mentioned s108. In this case, the customer support support system 100 adds the above-mentioned inquiry content (q2) of "setting change" to the inquiry content (q1) obtained so far to generate a new search query, thereby generating a new search query. The same process as in s103 is executed, and among the questions of each record in the FAQ database 125, the one whose description best matches the information indicated by the search query is identified (s109).

At this time, the description of the "question" of each record in the FAQ database 125 and the sentence similarity judgment with the inquiry content (q1) are performed in the same manner as in s103, and the record in which the item "business" is "setting change". Will be searched in the FAQ database 125. Therefore, in s108, among the records of the FAQ database 125, the record in which the item "business" is set to "change setting", and the description of the "question" best matches the inquiry content (q1). What to do is identified. Here, it is assumed that "# 3" is specified among the records in the FAQ database 125.

Subsequently, the customer support system 100 uses the description of "in the next operating environment ...", which is the "answer" in the record "# 3" specified in s109, as the answer, and the above-mentioned customer via the chat screen 500. Reply to the terminal 200 (s110). At this time, the customer support system 100 holds the answer returned here in the memory 103 as an algebra of "A (3)" as shown in the concept of internal processing 550.

In addition, after replying to the above-mentioned answer, the customer response support system 100 chats to the customer with a message such as "Did the answer meet the customer's question?" To confirm the validity of the answer with the customer. It shall be input to the screen 500 (s111).

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned customer terminal 200, the answer from the above-mentioned customer correspondence support system 100 is displayed via the chat screen 500 and presented to the customer. The customer views this answer and considers whether the answer to the inquiry is satisfactory, that is, the correct answer. In addition, the customer inputs the result of this examination on the chat screen 500 as a reply to the above-mentioned message. On the other hand, the customer terminal 200 acquires the answer as to whether or not the answer is correct via the chat screen 500, and transmits this to the customer support support system 100.

On the other hand, when the customer response support system 100 receives the response from the customer terminal 200 and does not indicate that it is the correct answer desired by the customer (s112: n), the same applies to the above s107 to s111. To execute.

On the other hand, when the above-mentioned response from the customer terminal 200 indicates that the correct answer is desired by the customer (s112: y), the customer response support system 100 has the inquiry content (q1) acquired in s102, s112. (In the above case, the answer "A (3)" returned to the customer terminal 200 in s110) and the answer "business setting change" regarding the item "business" that was asked back to obtain this correct answer. , Are linked and stored as a new record in the FAQ database 125 (s113), and the process ends.

In the example of FIG. 5, the determination in s112 indicates that the response from the customer terminal 200 was not the correct answer desired by the customer (s112: n), and for example, the item "screen" is asked back. However, it shows the case where the response of the "setting screen" is obtained from the customer terminal 200. In other words, the second hearing is being performed. In addition, the customer support system 100 identifies "# 1" among the records of the FAQ database 125 by the same procedure as s108 by adding the value obtained by the inquiry to the search query, and uses the "answer". As a result of answering a certain "antivirus software or firewall ..." (holding this as algebra "A (1)"), the customer says that the answer is correct (in the second judgment of s112).

In this case, the customer support support system 100 has the inquiry content (q1) acquired in s102, the "operation setting change" (q2) obtained in the first hearing, and the correct answer specified in the second judgment of s111 (described above). In the case of, the above-mentioned answer “A (1)”) and the returned “setting screen” (q3) for obtaining this correct answer are linked and stored as a new record in the FAQ database 125. The concept of adding a new record is shown in FIG.

The new record added here is "# 5", "Question" is "Screen freezes", "Answer" is "Antivirus software or firewall ...", and item "Business" is "Settings". "Change", the item "Screen" is "Setting screen".

In addition, "1.0" is set in the "weighted value" column in this record. When a new record is stored in the FAQ database 125 as described above, the customer support system 100 of the present embodiment assigns, for example, "1.0" as a weighted value to the new record. ..

The customer response support system 100 controls the weighted value so that the record is used for subsequent inquiries from customers and increases each time a correct answer is obtained. On the other hand, although the record is used for subsequent inquiries from customers, it is controlled to decrease each time the correct answer is not reached. Such update management of the weighted value will be described based on Flow Example 2.
--- Flow example 2 ---
Subsequently, the maintenance of the FAQ database 125 described above will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a flow example 2 of the customer support method according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an update concept in the FAQ database 125 of the present embodiment.

As shown in the above-mentioned flow example 1, when the customer can present the desired correct answer as a result of executing the necessary response in response to the inquiry from the customer, the FAQ database 125 includes it in such a series of exchanges. A new record containing the information (inquiry content, information about the item obtained by listening back, and the correct answer) is newly stored. At that time, the customer support system 100 assigns "1.0" as a weighted value to the record.

However, it can be fully assumed that the record corresponds to the case where the correct answer is obtained with a probability close to chance when viewed from the whole. Therefore, after that, it is necessary to increase or decrease the weighted value of the record and manage it according to the achievement that the record led to the correct answer, in other words, according to the achievement that the correct answer could not be derived.

Here, it is assumed that the customer support system 100 of the present embodiment newly receives an inquiry from the customer terminal 200 after storing the record in s113 of the above-mentioned flow example 1 (s200).

In this case, the customer support support system 100 best matches the description of the "question" of each record in the FAQ database 125 with respect to the inquiry content received in s200, as in s103 and s109 of flow example 1. It is assumed that a new record stored in s112 is specified as a record (s201).

In addition, the customer support support system 100 returns the "answer" in the new record specified in s201 to the customer terminal 200 via the chat screen 500 as an answer, and informs the customer about the validity of this answer. A message to be confirmed is input to the chat screen 500 (s202).

Further, when the customer response support system 100 indicates that the response from the customer terminal 200 described above is the correct answer desired by the customer (s203: y), the weighted value in the new record is set to ". 1.0 ”is added (s204).

On the other hand, when the above-mentioned response from the customer terminal 200 indicates that the correct answer is not desired by the customer (s203: n), the customer response support system 100 sets the weighted value in the new record to "0". .9 "is multiplied (s205).

The customer support support system 100 continuously receives inquiries from the customer terminal 200 with the passage of time, so that these s204 and s205 are also repeatedly executed.

The customer support support system 100 senses the arrival of a predetermined predetermined time such as the end of each month by its own calendar function (s206: y), and in response to this, sets the weighted value of each record in the FAQ database 125. Refer to (s207).

In addition to the pattern of executing s206 according to the arrival of a predetermined time as described above, the frequency of receiving a reply from the customer terminal 200 that the answer is not correct in the judgment of s106 or s112 is a unit standard (example: per unit time). The number of replies) may be exceeded, and s206 may be executed.

Further, the customer support support system 100 identifies a record whose weighted value referred to is, for example, a reference value "0.7" or less, deletes the record from the FAQ database 125 (s208), and ends the process.

By performing such maintenance of the FAQ database 125, it is possible to continuously tune the validity of the assumed questions and answers, that is, the records in the FAQ database 125 newly registered by the customer support technology of the present embodiment. It is possible. As a result, it becomes possible to more efficiently derive and provide the answer requested by the customer in response to an inquiry consisting of limited information.

According to the present embodiment, for example, even in a question sentence input by a customer in a chatbot, that is, a situation in which the inquiry content is composed of only keywords or only words (eg, frozen), a predetermined item (slot) is used. ), You can get information and lead to the correct answer, or you can immediately return the correct answer based on the assumed question and answer that was additionally registered up to the correct answer for the same inquiry content in the past. In other words, it is possible to improve the efficiency and accuracy of answering correct answers even for short question sentences, which leads to improvement of the quality of the entire digital dialogue service. On the customer side as well, since the correct answer can be reached in a short exchange, the joy and satisfaction of being able to solve the problem in a short time can be felt.

That is, it is possible to efficiently derive and provide the answer requested by the customer in response to an inquiry consisting of limited information.

The description herein reveals at least the following: That is, in the customer support support system of the present embodiment, the storage device stores the information of the predetermined item assumed in advance in association with the assumed question and answer, and the arithmetic device stores the assumed question and answer. Is specified based on the predetermined rule, the content of the inquiry is collated with each question of the assumed question and answer and each information of the predetermined item associated with the assumed question and answer, and each description of the question and the predetermined item is the inquiry.
