Call Center System Integrating Instant Messaging and Voice Queuing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing call center systems are limited to single voice access and cumbersome operations, lacking interactive communication methods such as video conferencing and remote assistance.
Innovation Solution
A call center system incorporating a Web access device, an instant messaging server, and a Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) that enables instant messaging and session call access, allowing users to interact with customer service representatives through richer communication methods like text chat, video chat, and remote assistance, while maintaining centralized queuing and management functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the call center system uses traditional voice access only, then the system structure remains simple, but the user interaction method is single and operations become cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by integrating multiple communication modes (voice call, instant messaging, video conference, remote assistance) into a single call center system platform. The system can handle different types of user requests through unified interfaces, allowing users to choose from various interaction methods based on their needs, thereby enhancing adaptability without requiring separate systems for each communication type
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges previously separate communication systems (telephony system and instant messaging system) into a unified call center platform. By combining voice calls, text messaging, video conferencing, and remote assistance capabilities into one integrated system with centralized queuing and management, the patent reduces overall system complexity while providing diverse interaction methods
2Ease of operation
If the call center system implements multiple communication modes, then user interaction and experience are enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides multiple communication modes (voice, text, video, remote assistance) through a unified platform, allowing users to select the most suitable interaction method. This multi-functionality enhances ease of operation by giving users flexibility in how they access services while maintaining a consistent system architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) module as an intermediary that bridges different communication systems. This intermediary component handles the complexity of integrating multiple communication types while presenting a unified interface to users, thereby enhancing ease of operation without requiring users to navigate complex system configurations
3Adaptability or versatility
If the call center system maintains centralized queuing and management, then system control is centralized, but the system cannot support advanced services like video conference and remote assistance
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized queuing system is designed to handle multiple types of communication requests uniformly. The same queuing mechanism that manages voice calls also manages instant messaging, video conference, and remote assistance requests, allowing the system to support advanced services while maintaining centralized control through a single unified architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The system adapts to different communication service types by changing operational parameters rather than structural components. The centralized queue manages all request types using the same basic framework, but adjusts parameters such as data transmission modes, bandwidth requirements, and interaction protocols to accommodate voice, text, video, and remote assistance services

AI summary
The present invention discloses a call center system and a call service implementation method thereof, wherein in the system, a Web access device is used for logging on an instant messaging server based on an instant messaging access of a user and sending instant messaging queuing information to a Computer Telephony Integration (CTI), and initiating an instant messaging request to a seat after receiving queuing result information returned by the CTI; the CTI is used for returning the queuing result information to the Web access device according to the received instant messaging queuing information and sending a Web access service beginning message to the seat; and the seat is used for accepting the instant messaging request initiated by the Web access device according to the received Web access service beginning message and performing an instant messaging. The call center system and the call service implementation method thereof provided by the present invention combines the interaction of the voice access and the operation of network access instant messaging, perfecting the call center system with a single manner of the voice access.
