Description

A kind of phone supermarket telephone expenses settlement method

Technical field

The present invention relates to the settlement method of the phone supermarket on the stored-program control exchange, be specifically related to, the method for reliably big capacity set Chinese style telephone expenses inquiry and clearing based on can the providing fast of stored-program control exchange to the phone supermarket client.

Background technology

In telecommunications industry, cost-effective method is constantly sought by operator, to reduce the operation cost of long distance bypass and equipment; For client, wish to obtain cheap voice service.Phone supermarket is exactly to occur in this case.Phone supermarket mainly is the agency that locates to set up at some markets, tourist spot, station, busy street etc., and each agency is provided with several and does not wait to tens call gates, and is provided with the immediate charging platform, requirement can go out to converse immediately bill and can control client's expense.Operator does not participate in operation directly, gives the individual on behalf of operation but hire out, and the operator therefrom extracts certain service charge.The network that phone supermarket uses mainly is the IP packet switching network, and cost is lower, thereby telephone expenses are lower, has attracted a large amount of clients.

The various phone supermarkets based on stored-program control exchange of present operation, its mode all is on the accounting server of operator, and the charging setting according to server generates a ticket, and the operator who is used for operator and phone supermarket checks out; Simultaneously, on the salesperson terminal of phone supermarket, according to the setting of this locality charging algorithm, a ticket of regeneration, the operator and the client that are used for phone supermarket check out.

There are following shortcoming in this settlement system and mode:

1:, generate and memory ticket according to different charging algorithms in two places, both inconsistent situations take place easily, cause between the operator of phone supermarket and the operator dispute taking place.

2: the operator of phone supermarket can change local the charging and be provided with.Like this, he can improve telephone expenses, obtains juice, but simultaneously, client's amount also can reduce, the infringement benefits of operators.

3: very flexible.Phone supermarket amount generally many (it is individual to reach hundreds of) before starting operation, must install database, sets the charging algorithm.If charging way changes, must revise all phone supermarkets.

4: because local the generation and memory ticket is higher to the hardware requirement of phone supermarket terminal

Summary of the invention

The invention provides a kind of settlement method of new phone supermarket based on stored-program control exchange.This method has flexibly, reliability height, characteristics such as the charging center is consistent with the phone supermarket ticket.

Phone supermarket telephone expenses settlement method provided by the invention is applied to comprise in the system of stored-program control exchange, data server, accounting server, phone supermarket terminal and phone formation, may further comprise the steps:

1) the charging algorithm is set on accounting server;

2) client uses phone, and switch produces Original CDR information, issues accounting server, simultaneously, telephone state (talking state or dislodging machine state) is issued the phone supermarket terminal;

3) accounting server calculates the telephone expenses value of this ticket, deposits in the database (can be the database in the accounting server, also can deposit the database of data server); Simultaneously this telephone expenses value is added that the last time settled telephone expenses value of this phone MAXID generates a sign sequence number RECORDID;

4) after client used up phone, the last time settled telephone expenses value of this phone MAXID that the phone supermarket terminal will write down sent to accounting server;

5) accounting server is received after the MAXID of this phone, and RECORDID is sent to the phone supermarket terminal greater than the ticket of this phone of this MAXID;

6) the phone supermarket terminal is collected client's telephone charges according to the ticket information of receiving, upgrades the MAXID of this phone simultaneously, and its value adds this telephone expenses value for initial value.

In the such scheme the 5th), 6) step also can be:

5) accounting server sends to the phone supermarket terminal with the RECORDID of this phone;

6) the phone supermarket terminal collects client's telephone charges according to RECORDID and MAXID; Upgrade the MAXID of this phone simultaneously, make it to equal RECORDID, and store.

The maximum characteristics of the method for the invention are to carry out centralized clearing to the ticket of phone supermarket, and settlement process is simple simultaneously, and are reliable.Charging center and phone supermarket ticket are in full accord, have avoided producing because ticket is inconsistent between operator and the phone supermarket operator possibility of dispute fully.Operator and phone supermarket operator use the charging algorithm on the accounting server to carry out CDR sorting, and be very low to the hardware requirement of phone supermarket terminal, and simultaneously, being arranged on the server of charging algorithm carried out, the alter mode simple and flexible.

Fig. 2 flow chart of the present invention.

Embodiment

As Fig. 1 is a kind of settlement system structural representation of phone supermarket.Remote Interface Unit (RSU) is placed in the phone supermarket, is connected to a lot of phones above.RSU is connected on the switch by trunk line, and RSU also connects the phone supermarket terminal by Serial Port Line.Switch is connected data server and accounting server with built-in local area network (LAN).Data server is used for managing the related data of exchange, and accounting server is used for managing call bill data.Switch links to each other with access server, provides voice service by ' net to client, can reduce the cost of operator like this.

RSU is general, and volume is less, is suitable for zooming out being placed in the phone supermarket, and simultaneously, it also provides serial ports, can be connected with the serial ports on the computer, as the passage of communication.Certainly, the speed of settling accounts if RSU can provide network interface to link to each other with the computer of phone supermarket can be faster.But, this settlement method goes for the speed of serial ports, makes it not need to be equipped with network interface card, reduces the cost of salesperson terminal.

Operation business center software module on the accounting server, its major function is the charging algorithm that each phone supermarket is set; The phone number that distributes the phone supermarket management; The information and the alarm of management phone supermarket and corresponding device; Statistics, the turnover of inquiring about each phone supermarket are used when going out form for clearing; The phone cash pledge that the reception salesperson terminal is sent and the cash pledge of whole phone supermarket; Ticket information that desampler transmits and generation sign sequence number RECORDID and phone supermarket terminal carry out alternately the phone ticket being settled accounts, the state that unblocks of management phone, and automatic blocking and manual block attribute, pay or the pre-payment attribute in the back; Functions such as calculating prepaid user's the duration of call and some rights managements.

The independent software of phone supermarket salesperson terminal operation one cover is the software of phone supermarket operator operation.Support keeper's login, password update, the management of relieving; The management of supporting telephone supermarket equipment, as the state that unblocks of phone, automatic blocking and manual block attribute, the attribute of back paying or pre-payment etc.; Support is numbered phone, can distribute and clearing by numbering; Support that client pre-pays the amount of money, disbursement and sattlement, functions such as statistical query.

The pre-payment phone needed to add cash pledge before making a call, the expense of calling can not be greater than client's cash pledge, and when remaining sum only reached one minute, switch can give client with voice suggestion.For the postpaid service user, then there is not this restriction, do not need to increase cash pledge, just can make a call.

Be applied to the flow chart of the settlement method of centralized phone supermarket settlement system as shown in Figure 2.

The charging algorithm need be set on accounting server, and the ticket of all phone supermarkets is all settled accounts according to this algorithm.Avoided phone supermarket operator and operator owing to the different tickets that cause of charging algorithm are inconsistent.

At first look at the settlement process of back paying phone:

Phone supermarket client off-hook is also dialled and is called number, and switch carries out number analysis, these states is sent to business center's software of accounting server.Business center finds salesperson terminal number under this caller according to calling number.If this phone is the postpaid service user, then paying information in back is returned switch.Switch is initiated called calling, and the state of calling is set.Switch can be sent to the phone supermarket salesperson terminal when call state changes, show intuitively on the interface then.

If client's on-hook, switch will produce Original CDR information, and send to accounting server.Business center calculates the expense of this ticket simultaneously, deposits in the database.Simultaneously this telephone expenses value is added that the last time settled telephone expenses value of this phone MAXID generates a sign sequence number RECORDID;

After client used up phone, the last time settled telephone expenses value of this phone MAXID that the phone supermarket terminal will write down sent to accounting server; MAXID is initially 0, so phone will transmit MAXID=0 when settling accounts for the first time and give accounting server, and accounting server sends the RECORDID of this phone to salesperson terminal greater than 0 ticket.Salesperson terminal upgrades MAXID then, and stores, and during the ticket of this phone clearing next time, will send up-to-date MAXID to accounting server.

Accounting server receives after the MAXID of this phone, and RECORDID is sent to the phone supermarket terminal greater than the ticket of this phone of this MAXID; The phone supermarket terminal is collected client's telephone charges according to the ticket information of receiving, upgrades the MAXID of this phone simultaneously, and its value adds this telephone expenses value for initial value.

Accounting server receives after the MAXID of this phone, also can be directly the RECORDID of this phone be sent to the phone supermarket terminal; Collect client's telephone charges according to RECORDID and MAXID by the phone supermarket terminal; Upgrade the MAXID of this phone simultaneously, make it to equal RECORDID, and store.

Clearing between operator and the phone supermarket operator can be undertaken by the database on the inquiry accounting server.

From top narration as can be seen, the clearing ticket between client and the phone supermarket operator extracts from accounting server, and simultaneously, the clearing between operator and the operator also are to inquire about from accounting server.This has just thoroughly been avoided phone supermarket operator and the inconsistent situation of operator's ticket.

Simultaneously, the process of client and operator clearing is upgraded the process of the MAXID that waits to settle accounts phone exactly, and in general, this process can be carried out on the phone supermarket terminal.This settlement method, only need accounting server by identifying sequence number inquiry ticket, avoided on server frequent updating data and the performance that produces therefrom and the problem of deadlock, greatly reduced the load of server, just increased switch with the phone supermarket terminal quantity.Simultaneously, reduce the interacting message between server and the phone supermarket terminal, improved reliability.
