The traditional call center includes the following components: (1) user access system with automatic call distribution (ACD) capability, ACD completes user call access, control and management; (2) interactive voice response ( The IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system enables the user to complete the business operation according to the voice prompt; (3) Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI), completes the call routing queue; (4) Agent (Agent).
随着接入网络和传输网络的发展, 呼叫中心出现了基于软排队机 ( SoftACD )的 NGCC, 其通常架构包含以下几个部分: ( 1 ) SoftACD, 完 成语音、 传真等实时业务的接入; (2 ) IVR/MS, 完成自动业务处理, 并提 供文语转换( TTS, Text To Speech )、 自动语音识别( ASR, Automated Speech Recognition ), 传真等媒体资源; (3 ) CTI, 完成所有呼叫的统一排队和路 由; (4 ) Agent: 完成人工业务处理。  With the development of the access network and the transmission network, the soft center (SoftACD)-based NGCC has appeared in the call center. The general architecture includes the following parts: (1) SoftACD, which completes access to real-time services such as voice and fax; (2) IVR/MS, complete automatic business processing, and provide text resources such as TTS (Text To Speech), Automated Speech Recognition (ASR), fax, etc.; (3) CTI, complete all calls Unified queuing and routing; (4) Agent: Complete manual service processing.
由上可以看出, 传统的呼叫中心主要完成语音呼叫的处理, 而 NGCC 能够完成各种多媒体类型的呼叫,如视频( Video )、语音( Voice )、文本( Chat ) 等呼叫的统一排队及路由处理。  It can be seen from the above that the traditional call center mainly completes the processing of voice calls, and the NGCC can complete calls of various multimedia types, such as video (Video), voice (voice), text (Call), etc. deal with.
但是, 无论是传统呼叫中心, 还是 NGCC, 体现其管理和运营能力的 指标是首次呼叫解决率 (FCR ), 体现其服务水平的指标是用户满意度, 因 此这样两个指标是众多呼叫中心孜孜不倦的追求。 However, whether it is a traditional call center or NGCC, it reflects its management and operational capabilities. The indicator is the first call resolution rate (FCR), and the indicator that reflects its service level is user satisfaction, so these two indicators are the tireless pursuit of many call centers.
随着移动网络的发展, 移动带宽增大, 移动终端能力增强如上网本、 PDA等, 视频和 Web浏览等将成为移动终端的常见业务, 这样就可以方便 客服代表同客户沟通解决客户的问题。 比如, 客户拨打语音呼叫申报一个 宽带故障, 客服代表跟客户沟通后没能完全理解客户的意思, 由于下一代 移动终端具有视频能力, 因此, 客服代表可通过视频来观察客户的故障。 但是, 客户需要先中断目前的语音呼叫再发起视频呼叫, 而该视频呼叫则 需要按照呼叫中心的基本排队原则 (呼叫先来先服务, 座席先闲先服务) 再次排队, 这样就降低了呼叫中心的 FCR, 并给用户带来不好的体验。 发明内容  With the development of mobile networks, mobile bandwidth is increasing, mobile terminal capabilities such as netbooks, PDAs, etc., video and web browsing will become common services for mobile terminals, so that customer service representatives can communicate with customers to solve customer problems. For example, if a customer calls a voice call to declare a broadband fault, the customer service representative does not fully understand the customer's meaning after communicating with the customer. Since the next generation mobile terminal has video capability, the customer service representative can observe the customer's fault through video. However, the customer needs to interrupt the current voice call and then initiate a video call, and the video call needs to be queued according to the basic queuing principle of the call center (call first come first served, the agent first idle service), thus reducing the call center. FCR, and bring a bad experience to users. Summary of the invention

CSCF 110,用于实现 IP多媒体子系统( IMS, IP Multimedia Subsystem ) 域的呼叫和会话控制, 并将所接收的呼叫的呼叫信息发送到 AS 100, 以及 用于接收 AS 100发送的新会话的座席地址,并将新会话重定向到该座席上。 CSCF 110可以按照现有技术实现上述功能。  The CSCF 110 is configured to implement call and session control of an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) domain, and send call information of the received call to the AS 100, and an agent for receiving a new session sent by the AS 100. Address and redirect the new session to the agent. The CSCF 110 can implement the above functions in accordance with the prior art.
CSCF 110进一步包括代理 CSCF ( P-CSCF )、 查询 CSCF ( I-CSCF )和 服务 CSCF ( S-CSCF ),在 UE 112发起呼叫时, P-CSCF是第一个联系节点, P-CSCF将接收到的请求和服务进行处理或转发, I-CSCF可以充当网络所 有用户的连接点, 也可以用作当前网络服务区内漫游用户的服务接入点, S-CSCF执行会话控制功能, 可以根据网络运营商的需要, 维持会话状态信 息, 其中, S-CSCF通过 IP多媒体业务控制 (ISC, IMS Service Control ) 接口与 AS 100相连。 The CSCF 110 further includes a Proxy CSCF (P-CSCF), a Query CSCF (I-CSCF), and a Serving CSCF (S-CSCF). When the UE 112 initiates a call, the P-CSCF is the first contact node, and the P-CSCF will receive The request and service are processed or forwarded. The I-CSCF can act as a connection point for all users of the network. It can also be used as a service access point for roaming users in the current network service area. The S-CSCF performs session control functions and can be based on the network. The operator needs to maintain session state information, where the S-CSCF passes the IP Multimedia Service Control (ISC, IMS Service Control) The interface is connected to the AS 100.
AS 100, 为呼叫中心的核心控制点, 用于接收 CSCF 110发送的呼叫信 息, 并进行呼叫接入、 会话管理、 呼叫控制、 资源控制、 自动流程控制等 操作, 实现 IVR功能, 以及用于根据所收到的呼叫信息判断所接收的会话 请求是否为新的会话请求, 如果不是新的会话请求, 则按照现有流程进行 处理, 如果是新的会话请求, 则根据新的会话请求的呼叫信息中已建立会 话连接的会话信息查找对应的呼叫标识, 并将该呼叫标识发送到 CTI 102。  The AS 100 is a core control point of the call center, and is used for receiving call information sent by the CSCF 110, and performing call access, session management, call control, resource control, automatic flow control, etc., to implement the IVR function, and for The received call information determines whether the received session request is a new session request. If it is not a new session request, it is processed according to an existing process. If it is a new session request, the call information is requested according to the new session. The session information of the session connection is established to find the corresponding call identity, and the call identity is sent to the CTI 102.
具体地, AS 100进一步包括依次连接的判断模块、 处理模块和存储模 块。  Specifically, the AS 100 further includes a judging module, a processing module, and a storage module that are sequentially connected.
判断模块, 主要用于判断 CSCF 110中的 S-CSCF发送的会话请求是否 为同一 UE发起的新的会话请求,并将判断结果发送到所述处理模块,其中, 会话请求中包括已建立会话连接的会话信息时, 根据已建立会话连接的会 话信息即可判断该会话请求是否为同一 UE发起的新的会话请求;  The determining module is configured to determine whether the session request sent by the S-CSCF in the CSCF 110 is a new session request initiated by the same UE, and send the determination result to the processing module, where the session request includes the established session connection. The session information may be determined according to the session information of the established session connection, whether the session request is a new session request initiated by the same UE;
处理模块, 主要用于接收判断模块发送的判断结果, 当判断结果是所 接收的会话请求不是同一 UE发起的新的会话请求,则根据 S-CSCF发送的 呼叫信息 (即会话标识)进行呼叫接入, 并为该呼叫分配呼叫标识; 当判 断结果是所接收的会话请求是同一 UE发起的新的会话请求,则从存储模块 中已保存的各会话连接的会话信息与各会话连接的呼叫标识之间的映射信 息中, 查找与该新的会话请求相对应的呼叫标识, 将该呼叫标识发给 CTI 102; 对于同一 UE发起的新的会话请求, 处理模块采用呼叫人工处理功能 要求直接将该新会话请求发送到 CTI 102进行排队处理; 处理模块,还用于 接收终止会话请求, 并根据终止会话请求终止已建立会话连接的一个或多 个会话, 同时更新存储模块中该 UE相关联的会话连接的呼叫标识、会话标 识、 及 UE的统一资源标识符 ( URI, Uniform Resource Identifier )所述三 种标识之间的映射信息; 例如, 新的会话请求中的呼叫信息所包含的已建立会话连接的会话信 息是该已建立会话连接的会话标识(例如, 该新会话请求是通过 re-INVITE 方式发起的, 则呼叫信息中包含该已建立会话连接的会话标识), 处理模块 从存储模块中查找与该已建立会话连接的会话标识对应的呼叫标识, 将呼 叫标识发给 CTI 102即可。 The processing module is configured to receive the judgment result sent by the judging module. When the judgment result is that the received session request is not a new session request initiated by the same UE, the call is performed according to the call information (ie, the session identifier) sent by the S-CSCF. And assigning a call identifier to the call; when the judgment result is that the received session request is a new session request initiated by the same UE, the session information of each session connection saved from the storage module and the call identifier connected to each session In the mapping information, the call identifier corresponding to the new session request is searched, and the call identifier is sent to the CTI 102; for a new session request initiated by the same UE, the processing module uses the call manual processing function to directly The new session request is sent to the CTI 102 for queuing processing; the processing module is further configured to receive the termination session request, and terminate one or more sessions of the established session connection according to the termination session request, and simultaneously update the session associated with the UE in the storage module. Connected call identity, session ID, and UE's Uniform Resource Identifier (URI, Uniform Res) Ource Identifier) mapping information between the three identifiers; For example, the session information of the established session connection included in the call information in the new session request is the session identifier of the established session connection (for example, the new session request is initiated by the re-INVITE method, and the call information is included. The session identifier of the session connection is established. The processing module searches the storage module for the call identifier corresponding to the session identifier of the established session connection, and sends the call identifier to the CTI 102.
存储模块, 用于保存各会话连接的会话信息与各会话连接的呼叫标识 之间的映射信息, 具体地, 可以保存 UE相关联的各会话连接的呼叫标识、 各已建立会话连接的会话标识、各新会话的会话标识以及各会话连接中 UE 的 URI所述三种标识之间的映射信息。  a storage module, configured to store mapping information between session information of each session connection and a call identifier of each session connection, and specifically, may save a call identifier of each session connection associated with the UE, a session identifier of each established session connection, The mapping information between the three identifiers of the new session and the three identifiers of the URI of the UE in each session connection.
CTI 102, 用于呼叫中心内部管理座席和进行路由排队, 其中, CTI 102 支持同一 UE发起的新的会话请求的排队和路由,将具有不同会话标识但具 有相同呼叫标识的多个会话分配到同一座席, CTI 102在呼叫队列中可以根 据呼叫标识查找新会话的对应座席, 如果新会话需要申请额外资源, 在资 源申请成功后再将新会话分配到同一座席, 在呼叫排队请求中, AS 100需 要增加标识以表示该呼叫为同一 UE发起的新的会话;  The CTI 102 is configured to manage the agent and perform route queuing in the call center, where the CTI 102 supports queuing and routing of new session requests initiated by the same UE, and assigns multiple sessions with different session identifiers but the same call identifier to the same In the call queue, the CTI 102 can find the corresponding agent of the new session according to the call identifier. If the new session needs to apply for additional resources, the new session is assigned to the same agent after the resource application is successful. In the call queue request, the AS 100 needs Add an identifier to indicate that the call is a new session initiated by the same UE;
当用户从自动语音流程转到人工座席时, CTI 102还需要根据用户属性 ( Profile ), 上下文信息 (Context )和服务要求选择合适的座席, 根据呼叫 的会话情况进行排队和路由。  When the user moves from the automatic voice process to the manual agent, the CTI 102 also needs to select an appropriate agent according to the user profile (Context), context information (Context) and service requirements, and queue and route according to the session state of the call.

下面介绍上述系统实现同一呼叫过程中多个会话的呼叫排队和路由的 过程, 如图 3所示, 包括以下步骤:  The following describes the process of the above system to implement call queuing and routing for multiple sessions in the same call process. As shown in Figure 3, the following steps are included:
步骤 301、 当呼叫中心中 S-CSCF接收到 UE发起的呼叫时, 将该呼叫 中的会话标识发送到 AS; Step 301: When the S-CSCF in the call center receives the call initiated by the UE, the call is made. The session identifier in the middle is sent to the AS;
该步骤中, UE发起的呼叫可以是语音、 视频或者文本等。  In this step, the call initiated by the UE may be voice, video or text.
步骤 302、 AS根据呼叫信令方法(如 INVITE )或呼叫信令标识判定该 呼叫为该 UE发起的首次会话请求, 则向该 UE播放提示语音或视频, 提示 该 UE进行业务选择, 如业务咨询、 故障申告、 业务受理等。  Step 302: The AS determines, according to the call signaling method (such as INVITE) or the call signaling identifier, that the call is the first session request initiated by the UE, and then plays a prompt voice or video to the UE, prompting the UE to perform service selection, such as service consultation. , failure report, business acceptance, etc.
步骤 303、 UE的用户选择接入座席(在本实施例中用户选择人工服务), AS将该呼叫发送到 CTI, CTI综合用户属性(Profile ) 以及用户上下文信 息 (Context )按配置的策略进行排队。  Step 303: The user of the UE selects an access agent (in this embodiment, the user selects a manual service), the AS sends the call to the CTI, and the CTI integrated user attribute (Profile) and the user context information (Context) are queued according to the configured policy. .
步骤 304、 CTI在相应技能的空闲座席队列中选择最先空闲的座席, 并 将该呼叫分配给该座席, 座席应答, 用户和座席的首次会话连接建立。  Step 304: The CTI selects the first idle agent in the idle agent queue of the corresponding skill, and assigns the call to the agent, the agent answers, and the first session connection of the user and the agent is established.
步骤 305、 在首次会话连接建立后, S-CSCF接收到 UE再次发起新的 会话请求时, 将该新的会话请求的呼叫信息发送到 AS;  Step 305: After the first session connection is established, when the S-CSCF receives the UE to initiate a new session request again, the S-CSCF sends the call information of the new session request to the AS.
该步骤中, UE发起的新的会话请求的呼叫信息中携带有已建立的会话 标识(即首次会话标识), 其中, 新的会话请求可以是视频、 文本或者视频 共享等。  In this step, the call information of the new session request initiated by the UE carries the established session identifier (ie, the first session identifier), where the new session request may be video, text, or video sharing.
步骤 306、 AS判定该会话请求为同一 UE发起的新的会话请求, 则不 再向该 UE播放提示语音或视频,而是根据该新的会话请求的呼叫信息中已 建立会话连接的会话信息确定对应的呼叫标识,再直接由 AS将该新的会话 请求发送到 CTI;  Step 306: The AS determines that the session request is a new session request initiated by the same UE, and then does not play the prompt voice or video to the UE, but determines the session information of the session connection established according to the call information of the new session request. Corresponding call identifier, and then directly sent by the AS to the CTI;
其中, AS可以根据扩展的呼叫信令, 如 re-INVITE, 即 AS在该会话 请求中获取到事先设置的新会话的指示信息时, 判定该会话请求为同一 UE 发起的新的会话请求; AS也可以根据该会话请求中的呼叫信息包含了已建 立会话连接的会话信息判断该会话请求为新的会话请求, 已建立会话连接 的会话信息可以是已建立会话连接的呼叫标识、 或已建立会话连接的会话 标识或者已建立会话连接的 UE的 URI; 当呼叫信息中包含已建立会话连接的呼叫标识时, 该呼叫标识即为 AS 所要确定的呼叫标识; 当呼叫信息中包含已建立会话连接的会话标识时, AS 从呼叫队列的各会话连接的呼叫标识与其对应的会话标识的映射信息 中, 查找与会话请求中的已连接会话连接的会话标识相对应的呼叫标识即 可; 当呼叫信息中包含已建立会话连接的 UE的 URI时, AS从呼叫队列的 各会话连接的呼叫标识与其 UE的 URI的映射信息中, 查找与会话请求中 UE的 URI相对应的呼叫标识即可。 The AS may determine, according to the extended call signaling, such as re-INVITE, that the AS obtains the indication information of the new session set in advance in the session request, and determines that the session request is a new session request initiated by the same UE; The session information in the session request may be determined to include the session information of the established session connection, and the session request may be a new session request. The session information of the established session connection may be a call identifier of the established session connection, or an established session. The session ID of the connection or the URI of the UE that has established the session connection; When the call information includes the call identifier of the established session connection, the call identifier is the call identifier to be determined by the AS; when the call information includes the session identifier of the established session connection, the AS connects the call from each session of the call queue. In the mapping information identifying the session identifier corresponding thereto, the call identifier corresponding to the session identifier of the connected session connection in the session request may be found; when the call information includes the URI of the UE that has established the session connection, the AS slave calls In the mapping information of the call identifier of each session connected to the queue and the URI of the UE, the call identifier corresponding to the URI of the UE in the session request may be found.
在其他实施例中, 如果新的会话请求需要媒体资源时, AS还要发起资 源申请请求。  In other embodiments, the AS also initiates a resource request request if a new session request requires a media resource.
步骤 307、 CTI收到新的会话请求, 根据该新会话呼叫对应的呼叫标识 查找到对应的座席, CTI将该新会话请求分配给该座席, 座席应答, 新的会 话连接建立, 同时保持已建立的会话连接。  Step 307: The CTI receives a new session request, and finds a corresponding agent according to the call identifier corresponding to the new session call. The CTI allocates the new session request to the agent, the agent answers, and the new session connection is established, and the established session is established. Session connection.
在其他实施例中, 如果 AS的资源申请失败(如资源不足), 或者座席 对该新会话的能力不足(如不支持视频), 则新会话建立失败, UE将收到 该新会话失败的消息。  In other embodiments, if the resource application of the AS fails (such as insufficient resources), or the agent has insufficient capability for the new session (if the video is not supported), the new session fails to be established, and the UE receives the message that the new session fails. .
