Description

呼叫中心提供呼叫服务的方法、 呼叫服务系统和服务器 本申请要求于 2008 年 06 月 26 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 200810068044.2、发明名称为"呼叫中心提供呼叫服务的方法、 呼叫服务系 统和服务器"的中国专利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申 请中。 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域, 尤其是一种呼叫中心提供呼叫服务 的方法、 呼叫服务系统和服务器。 背景技术
呼叫中心是一种基于现代通信技术实现集中式用户呼叫服务的系统。 用户拨打呼叫中心,专用分组交换机 ( Private Branch Exchange , 以下简称: ΡΒΧ )将呼叫数据传送给计算机系统, 计算机系统根据用户的呼叫数据将 呼叫分配给呼叫服务者 (如: 人工座席) 或者交互语音应答 ( Interaction Voice Response, 以下简称: IVR ) 流程。
PBX可以通过和资源外设的交互, 向用户提供语音、 会议、 传真等服 务。 如果人工座席全忙时, 用户将排队等待, 在排队过程中排队机会放些 音乐给用户听, 直到有空闲座席后再将用户转接人工座席服务。
以银行呼叫中心为例子, 现有技术釆用的技术方案是:
用户拨打呼叫中心后, 首先需要输入帐号密码等信息; 用户输入数字 账号后, 再等待呼叫服务, 一般大约要 1分钟; 如果此时座席全忙, 用户 进入呼叫服务队列等候服务, 一般要等待几分钟; 等到有空闲座席轮到自 己时, 接通人工座席进行服务。
发明人在实现本发明的过程中, 发现现有技术至少存在以下缺点: 用户呼入呼叫中心之后, 先转 IVR收集信息, 再转呼叫服务队列进行呼 叫排队等待, 即, 先输完信息先排队, 不符合先来先服务的原则, 造成用户 等待时间过长, 满意度低。 发明内容
为了解决现有技术中不是先呼叫先排队等候而造成用户等待时间过长, 满意度低的问题, 本发明实施例提出一种呼叫中心提供呼叫服务的方法, 包 括:
接收来自用户的用户呼叫;
根据所述用户的用户呼叫的时间顺序, 确定用户在呼叫服务队列中的相 应 Λ良务顺序;
在用户排队等候服务的同时对所述用户信息进行收集;
根据用户在呼叫服务队列中的相应服务顺序, 当轮到用户接受呼叫服务 时, 为用户提供呼叫服务。
本发明实施例还提出一种服务器, 应用于呼叫服务系统, 包括: 呼叫接收单元, 用于接收来自交换设备的用户呼叫, 所述用户呼叫由所 述交换设备接收自用户;
呼叫服务队列存储单元, 用于存储呼叫服务队列;
服务顺序确定单元,用于根据所述交换设备接收到所述用户呼叫的时间 , 确定所述用户在所述呼叫服务队列中的服务顺序;
服务队列执行单元, 用于根据服务顺序确定单元确定的用户在呼叫服务 队列中的服务顺序, 当轮到由用户接受呼叫服务时, 指示呼叫服务提供单元 对用户提供呼叫服务;
用户信息收集单元, 用于在用户排队等候服务的同时对用户信息进行 收集。
本发明实施例还提出一种呼叫服务系统, 包括:
第一呼叫接收单元, 用于接收来自用户的用户呼叫; 呼叫服务队列存储单元, 用于存储呼叫服务队列;
服务顺序确定单元, 用于根据所述第一呼叫接收单元接收到所述用户呼 叫的时间, 确定所述用户在所述呼叫服务队列存储单元的呼叫服务队列中的 服务顺序; 服务队列中的服务顺序, 当轮到由所述用户接受呼叫服务时, 指示呼叫服务 提供单元为用户提供呼叫服务;
呼叫服务提供单元, 用于根据所述服务队列执行单元的指示, 为用户提 供呼叫服务;
用户信息收集单元, 用于在用户排队等候服务的同时对所述用户信息 进行收集。
与现有技术相比, 通过本发明实施例至少可以产生以下有益效果: 用户 呼入呼叫中心之后, 呼叫中心可以根据用户的时间顺序确定用户在呼叫服务 队列的次序, 这样就是先拨打电话先排队等待, 符合先来先服务的原则, 在 用户等候服务的同时收集用户信息, 可以缩短用户等待时间, 提高用户满意 度。 附图说明 施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍, 显而易见地, 下面 描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例, 对于本领域普通技术人员来讲, 在不付出创造性劳动性的前提下, 还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发 明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于 本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获 得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
图 1为本发明一个实施例中呼叫中心组成和工作流程示意图。 如图 1所 示, 本发明的一个实施例提供了一种呼叫中心, 该呼叫中心釆用计算机和通 信集成技术( Computer and Telephony Integrator, 以下简称: CTI ), 它的主要 组成和工作流程如图 1所示。 102和 104分别为呼叫用户 (比如, 102为移动 用户, 104为固话用户 ), 呼叫用户 102和 104的呼叫通过网络传送到呼叫中 心, 呼叫中心包括:
交换设备 106 , 可以是 PBX 或者智能呼叫分配系统 (Automatic Call
Distributor, 以下简称: ACD );
服务器 108, 可以是一台或若干台设备;
呼叫服务者 110, 可以是人工座席或智能应答设备;
资源台 112, 可以为用户提供语音、 会议、 传真等服务。
图 2为本发明另一个实施例中呼叫中心提供呼叫服务的方法流程图。 如 图 2所示,本发明另一个实施例中呼叫中心为用户提供呼叫服务的方法包括: 步骤 S202: 用户拨打呼叫中心;
步骤 S204: 呼叫中心接收来自用户的用户呼叫;
在步骤 S202中, 拨打呼叫中心的用户有多个; 相应地在步骤 S204中, 呼叫中心接收所述多个用户的呼叫, 由于用户拨打呼叫中心的时间有先有后, 且呼叫中心的服务资源有限, 所以用户需要排队等候的服务。
步骤 S206: 呼叫中心根据接收到来自用户的用户呼叫的时间顺序, 确定 用户在呼叫服务队列中的相应服务顺序;
在本步骤中, 可以预先设置呼叫服务队列, 按照先呼叫先入队列的原贝 'J , 对呼叫用户在呼叫服务队列中做一标记, 从而确定用户在呼叫服务队列中的 相应服务顺序。 呼叫服务队列遵循先进队先服务, 先进队先出队列的规则。
步骤 S206之后转步骤 S208和步骤 S210同时进行,即在用户排队等候服 务的同时, 呼叫中心对用户信息进行收集。
步骤 S208: 呼叫中心对用户信息进行收集; 举个例子, 用户信息可以是 包括用户账户、 登录密码等信息。
步骤 S210: 用户在呼叫服务队列中等待接受服务;
步骤 S212: 根据用户在呼叫服务队列中的相应服务顺序, 判断呼叫服务 提供单元(比如人工座席或智能应答设备等)是否有空闲, 如果是, 则转步 骤 S214, 如果否, 则转步骤 S210。
步骤 S214: 判断呼叫中心对用户信息进行收集是否已经完成, 如果是, 则转步骤 S216, 如果否, 则转步骤 S218。
步骤 S216: 为用户提供呼叫服务。
步骤 S218: 确定该用户服务顺序的下一个用户, 为所述下一个用户提供 呼叫服务, 将用户保留在队首继续等待服务。
通过本实施例, 呼叫中心先根据用户的时间顺序确定用户在呼叫服务队 列的次序, 这样就是先拨打电话先排队等待, 符合先来先服务的原则, 在用 户等候服务的同时收集用户信息, 可以缩短用户等待时间, 提高用户满意度。 图 3为本发明又一个实施例中呼叫中心提供呼叫服务的方法流程图。 如 图 3所示,本发明又一个实施例中呼叫中心为用户提供呼叫服务的方法包括: 步骤 S302: 用户拨打呼叫中心;
步骤 S304: 呼叫中心接收来自用户的用户呼叫;
在步骤 S302中, 拨打呼叫中心的用户有多个; 在步骤 S304中, 呼叫中 心接收所述多个用户的呼叫, 由于用户拨打呼叫中心的时间有先有后, 且呼 叫中心的服务资源有限(譬如是人工座席或智能应答设备全忙;), 所以用户需 要排队等候的服务。
步骤 S306: 呼叫中心根据接收来自用户的用户呼叫的时间顺序, 确定用 户在呼叫服务队列中的相应服务顺序;
在本步骤中, 可以预先设置呼叫服务队列, 按照先呼叫先入队列的原贝 'J , 对呼叫用户在呼叫服务队列中做一标记, 从而确定用户在呼叫服务队列中的 相应服务顺序。 呼叫服务队列遵循先进队先服务, 先进队先出队列的规则。
步骤 S306之后转步骤 S308和步骤 S310同时进行,即在用户排队等候服 务的同时, 呼叫中心对用户信息进行收集。
步骤 S308: 呼叫中心对用户信息进行收集; 举个例子, 用户信息可以包 括用户账户、 登录密码等信息。
步骤 S310: 用户在呼叫服务队列中等待接受服务;
步骤 S312: 根据用户在呼叫服务队列中的相应服务顺序, 判断呼叫服务 提供单元(比如人工座席或智能应答设备等)是否有空闲, 如果是, 则转步 骤 S314, 如果否, 则转步骤 S310。
步骤 S314: 判断呼叫中心对用户信息进行收集是否已经完成, 如果是, 则转步骤 S318 , 如果否, 则转步骤 S316。
步骤 S316: 终止对用户信息进行收集, 转到步骤 S318。
步骤 S318: 为用户提供呼叫服务。
本发明实施例的方法还可以进一步包括: 步骤 S320: 对步骤 S316中收集未完成的用户信息继续进行收集。
通过本实施例, 呼叫中心先根据用户的时间顺序确定用户在呼叫服务队 列的次序, 这样就是先拨打电话先排队等待, 符合先来先服务的原则, 在用 户等候服务的同时收集用户信息, 可以缩短用户等待时间, 提高用户满意度。
