Description

Fee charging method and charging system that are positively related to the number of times of play

Technical field

The invention belongs to the field of internet, and in particular relates to a fee collection method and a charging system which are positively related to the number of times of playing.

Background technique

At the "5th Beijing Music Copyright Protection and Industry Development Forum" held in Beijing, the relevant data of the domestic digital music industry was announced. By the end of 2014, China's Internet music users had reached 478 million, with 200 million downloads per day. In the next two to three years, the number of music netizens will exceed 600 million, and the annual download volume will exceed 100 billion. And the forum pointed out: Although the current income of China's Internet music industry is only about 400 million yuan, once Internet music payment is fully launched, 100 million paying users will be formed in a year or so, and the market scale will exceed 10 billion.

Such a large market demand has also spawned many digital music companies. According to the “2015-2020 China Audiovisual Industry Development Prospect Forecast and Business Model Innovation Analysis Report” published by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the online music market has grown significantly. As of the end of 2014, China’s online music companies have 638 online music markets. The overall scale reached 9.76 billion yuan, an increase of 31.7% over 2013.

In the case of companies competing for music copyrights, the impact on users is easy to see.

At the same time, from the user's point of view, now the music is flooding, too much music can be chosen, some music does not want to hear the second time again (low value to the user), and some music can be heard over and over again. Long-lasting, long-lasting (high value to users), and the value of the value can be reflected in the price collection.

Summary of the invention

The embodiment of the present invention provides a fee collection method that is positively related to the number of times of play, and aims to solve the problem that the current music charge is difficult to implement because of the rigidity, and provides a more flexible charging method.

The present invention is implemented in such a manner that a fee collection method is positively related to the number of times of play, including the following steps:

Recording the user's music account and the bank account corresponding to the music account;

Count the number of times a user opens a music file;

Determining whether the number of times the user opens a certain music file exceeds a first threshold;

If yes, deduct the corresponding amount from the bank account;

If not, remain as it is;

Determining whether the number of times the user opens a certain music file exceeds a second threshold;

If yes, deduct the corresponding amount from the bank account number;

If not as it is.

The embodiment of the invention further provides a charging system, comprising:

a recording unit, configured to record a user's music account and a bank account corresponding to the music account;

A statistical unit for counting the number of times a user opens a certain music file;

a judging unit, wherein the input end is connected to the output end of the statistical unit, and is used to determine whether the number of times the user opens a certain music file exceeds a certain threshold;

The deduction unit is connected to the output end of the recording unit and the output end of the judging unit, respectively, for deducting the corresponding amount from the bank account when the user opens a certain music file beyond a certain threshold.

Through the invention, the user can pay for the music he likes, and the music that he does not like is not purchased after the audition, and the fee is paid according to the number of times the music file is used.

detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

1 is a flow chart of a method for charging a fee that is positively related to the number of times of play provided by an embodiment of the present invention Schematic, for ease of explanation, only parts related to the embodiments of the present invention are shown.

In step S101, the user's music account number and the bank account corresponding to the music account are recorded. In this step, the "bank account" may also be a refillable account of the platform associated with the user.

In step S106, if it is determined that the user continues to listen to the music beyond the second threshold, the value of the music to the user is indicated (always added value), so it is worth the user to pay a higher price for the user, then proceeds to step S107, from the bank account. The corresponding amount is deducted, and vice versa.

2 is a schematic structural diagram of a charging system according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the charging system includes

The statistics unit 22 is configured to count the number of times the user opens a certain music file;

The determining unit 23 is connected to the output end of the statistical unit 22 for determining whether the number of times the user opens a certain music file exceeds a certain threshold;

The deduction unit 24 has an input end connected to the output end of the recording unit 21 and the output end of the judging unit 22, respectively, for deducting the corresponding amount from the bank account when the user opens a certain music file exceeding a certain threshold. Money.

The working principle is as follows: the recording unit 21 records the user's music account and the bank account corresponding to the music account, the statistics unit 22 counts the number of times the user opens a certain music file, and the determining unit 23 determines whether the number of times the user opens a certain music file exceeds a certain number.
