Referring to Fig. 8, be charging returning method implementation three flow charts, comprising:

S801:CTF receives service request;

S802:CTF sends CCR to OCS;

S803:OCS carries out wholesale price and deducts fees business, and according to Service Id, Subscription ID, or business information, the information such as such as IMDN Requested, judge follow-uply may have Refund, be now divided into two kinds of situations: the first situation: preserve the wholesale price contextual information of deducting fees by OCS; The second situation: preserve the wholesale price contextual information of deducting fees by CTF.

The first situation:

S804:OCS returns to the CCA that comprises return pattern or return trigger condition parameters to CTF; Specifically comprise:

S804a:OCS returns to CCA to CTF, wherein comprises Refund-Information.Refund-Information comprises: Context-Id, Refund-Time, return pattern (Refund-Mode) and/or return trigger condition parameters (Refund-Trigger);

Wherein, Refund-Mode is used to indicate in which way and returns, for example: the unit price according to every message is returned; Price according to whole group message is returned etc.;

Refund-Trigger is used to indicate in which way and triggers and return, for example: the condition that the triggering of setting is returned can be: returning to timer Timer then, trigger and return, is now that whole business is returned; Or, often receive a failure response, trigger and return, partial service is returned.

Refund-Time is option, and only for some special scenes that need to use Refund-Time, for example, CTF arranges the scene of returning triggering timing device according to Refund-Time.

Refund-Mode and Refund-Trigger can be used in conjunction with, and for example: if returned according to the unit price of every message, Refund-Trigger is set to often receive the failure response of a message so, trigger and return.

Refund-Mode also can be used as the return strategy of operator's configuration, if CTF has configured return trigger mechanism, or the Refund-Trigger that CTF can issue from OCS arranges return trigger mechanism.

S805a:CTF forwards business;

S806a:CTF arranges and returns triggering timing device Timer, and determines return trigger condition according to Refund-Mode or Refund-Trigger;

CTF can arrange Timer according to configuration in advance, and the duration that different business Timer for example can be set is not identical, or the Timer duration that all business are set all equally etc.CTF also can arrange Timer according to self preserving the wholesale price contextual duration of deducting fees, and for example, the duration that Timer is set is less than or equal to preserves the wholesale price contextual duration of deducting fees.

S807a:CTF receives service response;

S808a: in the time period arranging at Timer, meet and return trigger condition, CTF sends Refund request to OCS, CTF inserts Service-Response-Info(and exists a kind of situation: Refund-Mode=to return by the price of single message in Refund-Information, now need to inform that OCS has had several message failures, quantity × message unit price of failed message just can calculate and return to the amount of money like this), Context-Id, or Refund-Mode(Refund-Mode also can be used as a strategy and is configured in OCS);

S809a:OCS is according to the Service-Response-Info wholesale price corresponding with the Context-Id context of deducting fees, and return strategy (Refund-Mode also can be used as a strategy and is configured in the OCS) amount of money that calculating is returned in real time of operator's configuration, the return amount of money is restored in user account;

Wherein, the strategy of operator's configuration is option.

S810a:OCS returns to Refund request response to CTF.

The second situation:

Step S801～S803 is identical with the first situation.

S804b:OCS, to the response of CTF on-line charging request, wherein comprises Refund-Information.Refund-Information comprises: wholesale price deduct fees context, Refund-Trigger and/or Refund-Mode;

Refund-Trigger is used to indicate in which way and triggers and return, for example: Timer then, triggers and returns, and whole business is returned; Often receive a failure response, trigger and return, partial service is returned.

Refund-Mode can be used as the return strategy of operator's configuration, if CTF has configured return trigger mechanism, or the Refund-Trigger that CTF can issue from OCS arranges return trigger mechanism.

Refund-Trigger also can be configured on CTF by operator.

S805b:CTF forwards business;

S806b:CTF preserves the wholesale price context of deducting fees, and arranges and returns triggering timing device Timer, and according to Refund-Trigger, return trigger condition is set;

S807b:CTF receives service response;

S808b: return trigger condition when meeting, CTF sends Refund request to OCS, CTF inserts Service-Response-Info, wholesale price deduct fees context and/or Refund-Mode in Refund-Information;

S809b:OCS is according to the wholesale price context of deducting fees, Service-Response-Info, and the strategy of operator's configuration calculates the amount of money of return in real time, and the return amount of money is restored in user account;

Wherein, the strategy of operator's configuration is option.

S810b:OCS returns to Refund request response to CTF.

In Fig. 8, only show the flow process of the first situation.

In implementation three, the timer of setting is the triggered time section for limiting Refund mechanism, that is: when timer then after, just no longer trigger Refund mechanism.To constantly, can trigger Refund at timer, also can not trigger Refund, determine according to the configuration of concrete operator.

Refund-Mode in implementation three can directly be configured in OCS the inside, for example being configured in group returns in strategy, now OCS does not return to Refund-Mode to CTF, but need return to Refund-Trigger, instruction CTF triggers Refund under which kind of condition, for example: receive unsuccessfully IMDN and just trigger Refund.In addition, can also directly be configured in CTF above by returning trigger mechanism, now also not need OSC to return to Refund-Trigger, CTF directly triggers Refund according to the return trigger mechanism of configuration.

It is definite situation that the scheme of this implementation three is particularly suitable for the price of every message in group.
