Abstract
A method, a data network arrangement, a computer program product and a server accomplish a service platform. The service platform has several customer interfaces whereby the customer can request a service in the service platform. The service platform prioritizes the received customer requests based on the prioritization value given to different customer events. A customer servant sees the customer requests in the order of importance that is based on the given prioritization value of each customer event. By utilizing the service platform the customer servant can concentrate on serving the customer requests in order of importance.
Claims16
A service order prioritization method comprising:
- a software implemented service prioritization platform residing in a server checking periodically inputs of at least two media interfaces of different kinds connected to the service prioritization platform;
- the service prioritization platform classifying a detected real-time customer interface input received from one of the media interfaces to a priority class of a plurality of classes by utilizing a predetermined priority value which has been defined for all possible customer interface inputs;
- the service prioritization platform arranging all received customer interface inputs in an order of importance by utilizing the priority class of the plurality of classes of the detected customer interface inputs;
- and
- the service prioritization platform showing the detected customer interface inputs in the order of importance in a feed window of a data processing apparatus of a customer servant.
A data network arrangement for prioritization of service-requests comprising:
- a telecommunications network;
- data processing apparatuses of customers connected to the telecommunications network;
- a service prioritization platform embedded in a server comprising a processor unit, memory unit, input and output means, the service prioritization platform comprising:
- several customer input and output interfaces of at least two media interfaces of different kinds;
- several customer servant input and output interfaces;
- a database, and;
- computer program code configured to, with the processor and the memory of the server, cause the service prioritization platform at least to:
- check periodically all media interfaces of the service prioritization platform;
- classify a detected real-time customer interface input received from one of the media interfaces to one priority class by utilising a predetermined priority value which has been defined for all possible customer interface inputs;
- arrange all received customer interface inputs in an order of importance by utilizing determined priority classes of each detected customer interface inputs;
- and
- show the detected customer interface inputs in the order of importance in a feed window of a data processing apparatus of a customer servant.
A computer-readable non-transitory data storage medium comprising computer executable components for prioritization of service requests of a service prioritization platform, the computer executable components comprising:
- computer readable code for checking periodically at least two media interfaces of different kinds of the service prioritization platform;
- computer readable code for classifying a detected real-time customer interface input received from one of the media interfaces of the service prioritization platform to one priority class by utilizing a predetermined priority value which has been defined for all possible customer interface inputs;
- computer readable code for arranging all received customer interface inputs of the service prioritization platform in an order of importance by utilizing determined priority classes of detected customer interface inputs;
- and
- computer readable code for showing the detected customer interface inputs in the order of importance in a feed window of a data processing apparatus of a customer servant of the service prioritization platform.
A server comprising:
- a processor unit;
- a memory unit;
- input and output means, and;
- a user interface;
- the processor unit and the memory unit configured to implement a service prioritization platform that is configured at least to:
- check periodically all media interfaces of different kinds of the service prioritization platform;
- classify a detected real-time customer interface input received from one of the media interfaces to one priority class by utilizing a predetermined priority value which has been defined for all possible customer interface inputs;
- and
- arrange all received customer interface inputs in an order of importance by utilizing determined priority classes of detected customer interface inputs;
- and
- show the detected customer interface inputs in the order of importance in a feed window of a data processing apparatus of a customer servant.
