And link to each other by described location-based service middleware between the service area subsystem, this location-based service middleware is the bridge that connects between positioning network layer and the external location services client LCS Clients, interconnecting between the location-based service middleware separated decision bit roaming, professional strange land use, the key issue in the GIS differentiation selection equipotential purchase of property affair operation.
The following examples suppose that described location service fullnet networking system comprises A, B, C, four service area subsystems of D, it is the operating area, the needs that business is carried out are depended in the division of this service area subsystem, may be several provinces (municipalities directly under the Central Government), the city is a unit, each service area subsystem is by service provider (SPa, SPb, SPc, SPd), location-based service middleware (LBS MWa, LBSMWb, LBS MWc, LBS MWd), mobile positioning center/GMLC (MPCa/GMLCa, MPCb/GMLCb, MPCc/GMLCc, MPCd/GMLCd), service control point (SCPa, SCPb, SCPc, SCPd), attaching position register (HLR), GIS-Geographic Information System (GISa, GISb, GISc, GISd) equipment is formed, in service area subsystem A, user A1 is arranged, A2 has user C1 in service area subsystem C.
In the service area subsystem, need follow following principle:
1, Ben Di application, promptly miscellaneous service provider is connected on the local location-based service middleware;
2, local user's information leaves local location-based service middleware in, promptly on Gui Shu the location-based service middleware;
3, Ben Di service provider is connected on the local location-based service middleware as GIS, if this service provider is overall, as has the whole nation or character transprovincially, then is connected on its all location-based service middleware that relate to;
4, the location logic is carried out on the location-based service middleware of user attaching;
5, applied logic operates on the location-based service middleware that service provider that the user inserts connects, and when operation was professional, the location-based service middleware that is connected by the service provider was as the core operation carrier of this service logic;
6, called subscriber's privacy information leaves on the location-based service middleware of ownership place, and the location-based service middleware of called subscriber's ownership place is responsible for the query script of completing place information, and the result is returned to the calling subscriber; When it accepts place information inquiry, at first carry out the authentication of information such as privacy, remove to search the roaming condition that HLR judges the active user then, if user's roaming, then initiate the place information inquiry request to position, visit ground service middleware, finish query task by position, visit ground service middleware, and the result is returned to ownership place location-based service middleware, ownership place location-based service middleware is returning to the calling subscriber;
Below, calling subscriber A1 uses the positional information that (SPb) searches called subscriber C1, and after the increment processing for using the strange land, the introduction of the detailed step that whole location-based service process is chargeed, and wherein C1 has roamed into service area subsystem D.
As shown in Figure 1, present embodiment comprises following steps:
The first, the user sends the request that obtains the position value-added information by service provider, location-based service middleware and fixer network;
Shown in step 1-12 among Fig. 4, at first, service provider (SPb) receives calling subscriber's (A1) request, and the external service that provides of the location-based service middleware (LBS MWb) that calls the service provider, (LBS MWb) sends service request to this location-based service middleware, shown in step 1 among Fig. 4.
Subsequently, this service provider's location-based service middleware (LBS MWb) is handled this service request, and the location-based service middleware under the called subscriber (LBS MWc) sends the request that obtains to comprise called subscriber (C1) positional information, shown in step 2,3,4,5,6 among Fig. 4; More specifically be meant:
Obvious this moment is because this service provider's location-based service middleware is different with the location-based service middleware under the calling subscriber, so the location-based service middleware (LBS MWa) of this service provider's location-based service middleware (LBSMWb) under this calling subscriber sends request; Location-based service middleware (LBS MWa) under this calling subscriber is handled this request then; Specifically be meant: the location-based service middleware (LBS MWa) under this calling subscriber carries out authentication to calling subscriber (A1) earlier, if pass through, then continues, otherwise returns; Service control point under the calling subscriber (SCPa) sends and judges whether this calling subscriber (A1) is prepaid user's request again, if not, then continue, otherwise carrying out remaining sum judges, return so if Sorry, your ticket has not enough value, otherwise the location-based service middleware (LBS MWc) that continues under the called subscriber sends the request that obtains to comprise called subscriber's positional information.
Secondly, location-based service middleware (LBS MWc) under this called subscriber is handled this request, and send the request that obtains to comprise called subscriber (C1) positional information to the fixer network (MPCd/GMLCd) that the called subscriber visits ground, shown in step 7,8,9,10 among Fig. 4; More specifically be meant:
At first judge the privacy information of called subscriber (C1),, then return, otherwise continue if do not allow calling subscriber (A1) visit called subscriber (C1);
Secondly to attaching position register (HLR) inquiry called subscriber's (C1) visit ground, read the called subscriber and visit ground information, learn that called subscriber (C1) roams into the D district;
The location-based service middleware (LBS MWd) of visiting ground to the called subscriber sends the request that obtains to comprise called subscriber (C1) positional information subsequently.
Called subscriber's location-based service middleware (LBS MWd) fixer network under the called subscriber visits ground (MPCd/GMLCd) of visiting ground sends the request that obtains to comprise called subscriber (C1) positional information then.
Then, the location-based service middleware (LBS MWd) that this fixer network (MPCd/GMLCd) is visited ground with called subscriber (C1) information uploading to the called subscriber is shown in the step 11 among Fig. 4.
At last, this called subscriber visits the location-based service middleware (LBS MWd) on ground to the processing of rising in value of this called subscriber (C1) information, and the position value-added information after will handling returns to location-based service middleware (LBS MWa).
The second, after the location-based service middleware is received the position value-added information, begin to charge;
Shown in step 13 among Fig. 4, location-based service middleware (LBS MWd) starts and charges in the user profile of receiving after increment is handled; Promptly more specifically, this location-based service middleware is if caller vision location service middleware, then directly begin to charge, otherwise going to caller vision location service middleware begins to charge, promptly go to caller vision location service middleware (LBS MWb) and begin to charge, shown in step 14,15 among Fig. 4.
Three, judge whether this user is the intelligent contracted user who charges on service control point, if go to so on the affiliated service control point of this user and charge, otherwise continue.
The service control point of location-based service middleware under the user sends judges whether this user is prepaid user's request, if go to so on the affiliated service control point (SCPa) of this user and charge, otherwise continue.
Four, the location-based service middleware is handled read corresponding charge information from far management system after, and produces corresponding ticket writing;
At first location-based service middleware (LBS MWb) reads corresponding charge information from far management system, and this charge information comprises the service beginning and ending time of each equipment that uses in the sign, this location-based service of employed service equipment, duration that the user uses or number of times, rate, Qos etc.
Then the user's total cost in the described charge information is shared processing, specifically be meant: carry out related location-based service middleware cost allocation, obtain each interests entity on vision location service middleware, homing position service middleware, GIS service provider, service provider, these value in localization chains of telecom operators deserved expense, wherein telecom operators are apportioned is Internet utilization fee.
Described user's total cost comprises: service provider's service charge, service provider's service charge, location-based service middleware services expense, Internet utilization fee.Correspondingly comprise at the ticket writing of user's total cost being shared the generation of processing back in the present embodiment: the ticket writing that the ticket writing of service provider's ticket writing, GIS service provider's ticket writing, location-based service middleware and network use.
Wherein, in service provider's the cost allocation, because this service provider links to each other with location-based service middleware under it, service provider's service rate is by the location-based service middleware decision of caller visit, has nothing to do with the location-based service middleware of caller ownership.Therefore in the ticket writing that on caller vision location service middleware, goes out, service provider's expense record should be arranged.
And in service provider such as GIS service provider's the cost allocation, GIS links to each other with the location-based service middleware of called subscriber's visit, just the rate of GIS has been coordinated with it by the location-based service middleware of called subscriber's visit.In the ticket writing of the location-based service middleware that the called subscriber visits, come this GIS service provider's of identification relevant expense by the sign of record GIS.
Like this, whole location positioning expense, the expense that comprises all location positioning generations of service provider's service charge, GIS service provider's service charge, location-based service middleware services expense, Internet utilization fee, its unification can be produced by the location-based service middleware of calling subscriber's visit.Business service merchant carries out allocation of expenditures according to the ticket writing on the location-based service middleware of calling subscriber's visit; GIS service provider then also can carry out cost allocation according to the ticket writing of this coupled location-based service middleware; The expense of fixer network then except that can being produced by calling subscriber's vision location service middleware, also can be withheld by called subscriber's vision location service middleware, and the fixer network expense is as the criterion with the vision location service middleware, and it is more reasonable to be collected by it; The location-based service middleware of the location-based service middleware of called subscriber's ownership and called subscriber's visit then can be collected the charges according to the location-based service middleware of ticket writing whereabouts calling subscriber visit.
Five, the location-based service middleware is exported corresponding ticket writing.
As shown in Figure 3, when the location-based service middleware reads corresponding charge information and handles from far management system after, this location-based service middleware outputs to settlement center with corresponding ticket writing by charging gateway again, by this settlement center the checkout result that produces is delivered to the charging center then.Promptly finish the charging of whole particular location business.
