[0051] It is understood that the units and modules involved in the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented by software or by hardware. For example, the units and modules can be located in a processor.

[0052] Example 1:

[0053] This embodiment provides a method for processing virtual numbers, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0054] Step S101: Obtain the binding policy set by the target enterprise.

[0055] In this embodiment, the target enterprise can set a fixed binding strategy. This strategy is used to bind virtual numbers in the enterprise's virtual number pool to different physical numbers within different time periods. For example, the binding strategy could be: virtual number 171xxxx8888 is bound to employee A's physical number from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, and bound to employee B's physical number from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM the following day.

[0056] Optionally, before obtaining the binding policy set by the target enterprise, the method further includes:

[0057] Receive virtual number application requests from target companies;

[0058] According to the virtual number application request, a corresponding virtual number is allocated to the target enterprise, and the allocated virtual number is saved to the enterprise virtual number pool corresponding to the target enterprise.

[0059] In this embodiment, enterprises apply for virtual numbers from telecommunications operators to form a virtual number pool for the enterprise, with each enterprise corresponding to one virtual number pool.

[0060] Step S102: Bind the virtual numbers in the enterprise virtual number pool to the physical numbers corresponding to each employee in the target enterprise according to the binding strategy to obtain the corresponding binding relationship. The virtual numbers are bound to different physical numbers at different time periods.

[0061] In this embodiment, the company establishes a customer operation system based on virtual numbers by assigning virtual numbers to employees. Employees can use the virtual numbers to communicate with customers by phone, and also perform all the functions that physical numbers can perform, such as logging into chat software and operational software.

[0062] Specifically, after obtaining the binding policy set by the target company, the telecom operator binds the virtual numbers in the company's virtual number pool to the physical numbers corresponding to each employee according to the binding policy. The virtual number can be bound to different physical numbers at different times. During the binding period, employees can use this virtual number to take orders by phone, send and receive text messages, log in to communication software, and log in to information publishing platforms to achieve "24-hour online customer service" and allow different people to switch between the same number according to time periods.

[0063] In this embodiment, when a virtual number is bound to a physical number, the binding relationship is uniformly stored in the relevant database of the telecommunications operator, and enterprises can make relevant inquiries through the telecommunications operator's operation interface or SMS.

[0064] Step S103: Receive the divestiture request sent by the target company after the departure of the target employee;

[0065] Step S104: According to the stripping request, the virtual number corresponding to the target employee is stripped from the physical number corresponding to the target employee, and then bound to the physical number corresponding to other employees.

[0066] Specifically, when a target employee leaves the company, the company can simply separate the corresponding virtual number from the physical number and bind it to another physical number to achieve the handover of operational resources.

[0067] It should be noted that the binding and unbinding of virtual numbers are handled uniformly by the enterprise through the operator's operation interface or SMS. Before the operation, the enterprise only needs to search for the corresponding virtual number in its virtual number pool to ensure that there is a virtual number that can be operated.

[0068] Optionally, after binding the virtual numbers in the enterprise virtual number pool with the physical numbers corresponding to each employee in the target enterprise according to the binding strategy to obtain the corresponding binding relationship, the method further includes:

[0069] Receive a call request or a message sending request, wherein the call request or message sending request carries the recipient's number;

[0070] Determine whether the recipient's number is a virtual number;

[0071] In response to the fact that the recipient number is a virtual number, the target physical number corresponding to the recipient number in the current time period is obtained according to the binding relationship;

[0072] Initiate a call or send a message to the target physical number based on the call request or information sending request.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the initiator calls or sends a message to the recipient's number, the telecommunications operator first determines whether it is a virtual number. If it is a virtual number, it finds the target physical number corresponding to the current time period by checking the binding relationship between physical numbers and virtual numbers recorded in the database, and forwards the request to the target physical number, while carrying the call identifier of the virtual number. If it is determined to be a physical number, it directly calls the physical number.

[0074] It should be noted that after a virtual number and a physical number are bound together, the use of the physical number is not restricted by the virtual number, and mobile phone users can choose to use either the virtual number or the physical number.

[0075] Optionally, after binding the virtual numbers in the enterprise virtual number pool with the physical numbers corresponding to each employee in the target enterprise according to the binding strategy to obtain the corresponding binding relationship, the method further includes:

[0076] Receive the modification request from the target company;

[0077] Modify the binding relationship according to the modification request.

[0078] In this embodiment, when an emergency occurs, the binding relationship between the virtual number and the physical number can be modified proactively. For example, if an employee is temporarily unable to handle company-related matters within a fixed time, the target company can adjust the binding relationship between the virtual number and the employee through the telecom operator's interface or via SMS.

[0079] In one specific embodiment, the method for processing the virtual number may include the following steps:

[0080] (1) Enterprises apply for virtual numbers from telecommunications operators. The telecommunications operators allocate corresponding virtual numbers and place the virtual numbers belonging to the enterprise into the enterprise virtual number pool for use by the enterprise's employees.

[0081] (2) The company sets up a fixed virtual number binding strategy and assigns virtual numbers to employees. For example, the virtual number 171xxxx8888 is bound to employee A's physical number from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm every day, and to employee B's physical number from 8:00 pm to 8:00 am the next day. That is, the virtual number can be bound to different physical numbers at different times.

[0082] (3) Telecommunication operators bind virtual numbers in the enterprise virtual number pool to the physical numbers corresponding to each employee according to the binding policy. During the binding period, employees can use this virtual number to take orders by phone, send and receive text messages, log in to communication software and log in to the information publishing platform to achieve "24-hour online customer service" and enable different people to switch between the same number according to time periods.

[0083] (4) When a virtual number is bound to a physical number, the binding relationship will be recorded in the relevant database so that telecommunications software can quickly find it.

[0084] (5) When an employee leaves the company, the telecom operator will separate the corresponding virtual number from the physical number and bind it to another physical number.

[0085] (6) In the event of an emergency, the company can proactively apply to modify the binding relationship between the virtual number and the physical number. That is, the binding relationship between the virtual number and the employee can be adjusted uniformly through the telecom operator's interface or through SMS.

[0086] (7) When a call request or information sending request is received, the telecommunications operator first determines whether the recipient number is a virtual number. If so, it finds the target physical number corresponding to the current time period by recording the binding relationship between physical numbers and virtual numbers in the database, and forwards the request to the target physical number while carrying the call identifier of the virtual number. If it is a physical number, it directly calls the physical number.

[0087] The virtual number processing method provided in this invention first obtains the binding policy set by the target enterprise; then, according to the binding policy, binds the virtual numbers in the enterprise's virtual number pool with the physical numbers corresponding to each employee in the target enterprise to obtain corresponding binding relationships. The virtual numbers are bound to different physical numbers at different time periods. Next, it receives a stripping request sent by the target enterprise after the departure of a target employee; and according to the stripping request, strips the virtual number corresponding to the target employee from the physical number corresponding to the target employee, and binds it to the physical numbers corresponding to other employees. This invention, by binding virtual numbers to the physical numbers corresponding to each employee of the target enterprise, enables employees to maintain relationships with customers through virtual numbers. Therefore, after a target employee leaves, simply stripping the virtual number from the corresponding physical number and binding it to another physical number achieves resource handover for enterprise operations, avoiding the loss of enterprise resources due to employee turnover. It resolves the contradiction between maintaining enterprise information resources or customers and personnel turnover, improving communication flexibility. Furthermore, by binding virtual numbers to different physical numbers at different time periods, it enables "24-hour online" customer service personnel, allowing different personnel to switch between the same number according to time periods. This solves the problem that in existing technologies, companies typically maintain relationships with customers through physical mobile phone numbers, which can lead to disruptions in company information resources and customer retention as employees move around.

The virtual numbers are bound to different physical numbers at different time periods.

[0092] The first request receiving module 13 is connected to the virtual number binding module 12 and is used to receive the stripping request sent by the target enterprise after the target employee leaves the company.

[0093] The stripping and binding module 14 is connected to the first request receiving module 13 and is used to strip the virtual number corresponding to the target employee from the physical number corresponding to the target employee according to the stripping request, and bind the physical number corresponding to other employees.
