Embodiment
As shown in Figure 5, the present invention relates to a kind of between Integrated Service Management Platform (ISMP) and service enabler the method for authenticating and charging, comprising: charging switch (S51) is set on service enabler; Normally whether the link between judgement Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler (S52), if judge that link is normal, then the charging switch is set to open (S531), whether service enabler request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication allows the user to use business (S541), if do not allow the user to use business, then flow process finishes; If allow the user to use business, then service enabler is to user's issuing service (S551), service enabler uses service conditions (S561) to the Integrated Service Management Platform report of user then, Integrated Service Management Platform uses service conditions to generate the Call Data Record that supplies charging usefulness according to the user, generates formal ticket (S571) after the wholesale price; If judge that link is unusual, then the charging switch is set to cut out (S532), be defaulted as authentication by and no longer ask the Integrated Service Management Platform authentication, directly to user's issuing service (S542), generate for the Call Data Record (S552) that charges at service enabler then, and judge constantly whether the link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler has recovered normal (S562), when determine link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler reverted to normal after, the charging switch reverted to open (S57), to send to Integrated Service Management Platform for the Call Data Record that charges and carry out disposable wholesale price (S58), if the link that determines between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler does not recover normal, then still be defaulted as authentication and pass through, continue to generate for the Call Data Record (S552) that charges at service enabler.
In the present invention, judge whether the link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler normally can be judged with several different methods.Wherein a kind of method is: service enabler checks to the EnquiryLink message that Integrated Service Management Platform sends the ISMP interface whether link is normal, if the response of EnquiryLink is shown as unusually for continuous m time, judges that then link is unusual; Otherwise, judging that then link is normal, m is a natural number.Certainly, can also adopt other method,, but send other message, as long as whether normal just passable to finding out link the response of this message from ISMP such as the EnquiryLink message that does not send the ISMP interface.Can adopt such method for another example:, judge that then link is unusual if service enabler can not receive the response from ISMP in the time period of appointment.Can adopt such method for another example: between service enabler and Integrated Service Management Platform, checkout equipment or the like is set.In a word, such method can have a lot, as long as can judge whether the link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler is normal just passable, and its concrete method can have a lot.In the present invention, m can be 3, but also can be other any natural number.
In the present invention, link between judgement Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler has reverted to normally and also can adopt a lot of methods, wherein a kind of method comprises: service enabler h at regular intervals sends ISMP Bind message to Integrated Service Management Platform whether detect link normal, after receiving n correct response, judge that link has recovered normal, otherwise judge that link does not recover normal, n is a natural number.Certainly, also can adopt other method, service enabler do not send ISMP Bind message such as service enabler, but sends other message, as long as can be judged link by Integrated Service Management Platform to its response and whether recover normally just passable to Integrated Service Management Platform.Say for another example and can adopt such method, a time period is set,, judge that then link has recovered normal in this time period if the response from ISMP that obtains all is correct response.Can adopt such method for another example: between service enabler and Integrated Service Management Platform, checkout equipment or the like is set.In a word, such method can have a lot, as long as it is normal just passable to judge that link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler has reverted to, its concrete method can have a lot.In addition, h and n can fix, and also can be configurable, can dynamically adjust as the case may be.
In said process, whether service enabler request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication allows the user to use professional process to comprise: service enabler sends a request to Integrated Service Management Platform, whether comprise request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication user in this request has the right to use professional, whether the use business is the prepaid user if having the right, and if whether the account balance of prepaid user's words authentication user enough makes the user use professional content, whether Integrated Service Management Platform sends a response to service enabler then, comprise in this response to have the right to use professional to the user, whether the use business is the prepaid user if having the right, and if whether prepaid user's words user's account balance enough makes the user use professional answer.But, also can not comprise such flow process, and take other flow process, as long as whether can make service enabler request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication allow the user to use professional just passable.In addition, this request and corresponding in also can not comprise foregoing and not include only foregoing, so long as with whether allow the user to use the relevant content of related service just passable, such as whether using professional content in that special time is interval about the user.
Preferably, in an embodiment of the present invention, service enabler is after the Integrated Service Management Platform report of user uses service conditions, and Integrated Service Management Platform sends one to service enabler and uses the affirmation of service conditions to receiving described user, but this neither be necessary.
Described user uses service conditions to comprise that the user uses information such as professional flow, duration, number of times, and these information are can use when generating for the Call Data Record that charges.
The invention allows for a kind of mobile service system (6), as shown in Figure 6, comprising: Integrated Service Management Platform (62); Service enabler (61) is coupled to Integrated Service Management Platform; Wherein, charging switch (611) is set on service enabler (61), and this switch has open mode and closed condition, under open mode, service enabler (61) leads to Integrated Service Management Platform (62), is generated for the Call Data Record that charges by Integrated Service Management Platform; Under closure state, service enabler (61) does not lead to Integrated Service Management Platform (62), is defaulted as the Call Data Record that the confession charging is passed through and generated by service enabler to authentication.The charging switch can be realized by software or hardware according to foregoing description by those skilled in the art.
Specifically describe the flow chart of embodiments of the invention 1-2 when the charging switch is in the opening and closing state in conjunction with Fig. 1-4 now.
Fig. 1 carries out method that secure authentication charges at link flow chart just often according to embodiments of the invention 1 between Integrated Service Management Platform and service enabler.The present invention is provided with the charging switch on service enabler, and judges whether the link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler is normal.When judging link just often, the charging switch is set to open, and this process comprises then:
(a1) user's access service engine (61);
(a2) service enabler (61) sends a request to Integrated Service Management Platform (62), whether have the right to use short message service to have the right to use whether short message service is that the prepaid user is if whether the account balance of prepaid user's authentication user enough makes the user use professional content if comprise request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication user in this request, certainly can also comprise other content, as long as whether it has the right to use short message service relevant just passable with the user;
Whether (a3) ISMP sends this request responding to this service enabler (61), have the right to use short message service to have the right to use whether business is that the prepaid user is if whether prepaid user user's account balance enough makes the user use the answer of short message service if comprise in this response to the user.In conversation procedure, service enabler need be preserved these users, business information stops until session;
(a4) if allow the user to use short message service, promptly authentication go out that the user has the right to use short message service and when the user has the right to use short message service user's account balance enough make the user use short message service, then service enabler is to user's transmitting short message business.Certainly, if do not allow the user to use short message service, then flow process finishes;
(a5) service enabler (61) uses service conditions to Integrated Service Management Platform (62) report of user, comprises that the user uses information such as professional flow, duration, number of times, and these information are that Integrated Service Management Platform generation Call Data Record is necessary;
(a6) Integrated Service Management Platform sends one to service enabler and uses the affirmation of service conditions to receiving described user.
Then, Integrated Service Management Platform uses service conditions to generate the Call Data Record (CDR) (not showing among Fig. 1) that supplies charging usefulness according to the user, in the CDR that Integrated Service Management Platform generates, the sign that must whether normally be provided with relevant for the charging switch indicates whether it is improper CDR.Fig. 7 shows the CDR state parameter that produces among the present invention (have various parameters in CDR, the CDR state parameter is wherein a kind of's just) definition.As shown in the figure, it is an integer, if be 1 expression charging switch opens, promptly normal situation, last field are that 2 expression charging switches cut out; Can certainly be opposite, if be that 1 expression is closed, if be that 2 expressions are opened.Integrated Service Management Platform generates formal ticket after with the CDR wholesale price and hands over charging center (not showing among Fig. 1 that it is the background support system of communication network) to use then.About how to use service conditions to generate the content of CDR and formal ticket according to the user, had in the prior art, not emphasis of the present invention, those skilled in the art can realize.
Fig. 2 is carrying out the flow chart of method when link is unusual that secure authentication charges according to embodiments of the invention 1 between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler.When judging that link is unusual, the charging switch is set to cut out, and this process comprises then:
(b1) user's access service engine (61);
(b2) it is unusual to have determined link this moment, the charging switch be set to close be defaulted as authentication by and no longer ask the Integrated Service Management Platform authentication, directly,, also just need not pass through the process of a2-a3, a5-a6 among Fig. 1 because do not need authentication to user's issuing service.
Generate for the Call Data Record (not showing among Fig. 2) that charges at service enabler then.Note, be that Integrated Service Management Platform generates for the Call Data Record that charges among Fig. 1, and be that service enabler directly generates CDR here, so just when link is unusual, make the user can use service as usual by the mode passed through of acquiescence authentication, and by service enabler directly generate CDR, link is just often issued mode that Integrated Service Management Platform carries out a wholesale price again and has been reached and do not influence the effect that CDR generates by the time.When link is unusual, to judge constantly whether the link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler has recovered normal, when determine link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler reverted to normal after, the charging switch reverted to open, will send to Integrated Service Management Platform for the Call Data Record that charges and carry out disposable wholesale price.At this moment last field of Fig. 7 is 2, and just representing this CDR is that the charging switch produces when cutting out, and needs the disposable wholesale price of Integrated Service Management Platform.If the link that determines between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler does not recover normally, then still be defaulted as authentication and pass through, continue to generate for the Call Data Record that charges at service enabler.
After ISMP carries out disposable wholesale price to CDR, generate formal ticket and hand over the charging center to use as charging bill.About this process and charging center, not shown in Figure 2, it belongs to content of the prior art.
Judge the link normal process and judge whether link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler has recovered that normal process is existing in front to be described whether between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler, so do not give unnecessary details.
For convenience's sake, Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 only show a simple embodiment-embodiment 1 of the present invention.And Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are the descriptions of a complex embodiments of the present invention (embodiment 2).In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, have only a service enabler, two service enablers are arranged in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, be respectively: service enabler 1---Short Message Service Gateway (6101), be responsible for note; Service enabler 2---GMLC (6102) is responsible for the location, also has service provider (31) in Fig. 3 and 4.Fig. 3 is the flow chart of the embodiment 2 when under normal circumstances chargeing switch opens.The present invention is provided with the charging switch on service enabler, and judges whether the link between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler is normal.When judging link just often, the charging switch is set to open, and the process of Fig. 3 comprises (wanting to allow service enabler send a weather forecast for user B with user A is example) then:
(c1) user A inserts service enabler 1---the Short Message Service Gateway (6101) of being responsible for note by short message service (SMS) or multimedia messaging service, MMS (MMS) or get online without being tethered to a cable (WAP) etc.;
(c2) because Short Message Service Gateway (6101) is a service enabler of being responsible for note, so it is to the authenticating and charging request of ISMP (62) initiation to user A, whether have the right to use short message service to have the right to use whether short message service is that the prepaid user is if whether the account balance of prepaid user's authentication user enough makes the user use professional content if comprise request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication user in this request, certainly can also comprise other content, as long as whether it has the right to use short message service relevant just passable with the user.Whether the authentication in this step just has the right to use short message service to carry out authentication to user A, is not whether user A have been ordered this service of weather forecast (weather forecast of promptly whether having the right to receive) carry out authentication.Carry out authentication about whether user A having been ordered this service of weather forecast (weather forecast of promptly whether having the right to receive), in the step of back, carry out;
Whether (c3) ISMP sends this request responding to this service enabler (61), have the right to use short message service to have the right to use whether business is that the prepaid user is if whether prepaid user user's account balance enough makes the user use the answer of short message service if comprise in this response to the user.In conversation procedure, service enabler need be preserved these users, business information stops until session;
(c4) if subscription authentication is not passed through, then flow process finishes; If subscription authentication is passed through, because user A asks to send weather forecast to user B, so Short Message Service Gateway (6101) sends to service provider (31) to the Location Request of consumer positioning B;
(c5) service provider (31) initiates Location Request by the Le interface to GMLC (6102), and GMLC (6102) is a service enabler of being responsible for the location;
(c6) GMLC (6102) carries out service provider's authentication to the service provider, determines whether this service provider is allowed to access GMLC;
(c7) after service provider's authentication is passed through, GMLC (6102) is to the authenticating and charging request of ISMP (62) transmission to the service provider, the relevant information that comprises the service provider, whether have the right to use this positioning service as the service provider, the difference of this step and step c6 is that the authentication of step c6 is whether the service provider to be allowed to access GMLC carry out authentication, and this step is whether request has the right to use the positioning service of GMLC to carry out authentication to the service provider;
(c8) ISMP (62) carries out returning this request responding to GMLC (6102) after the authentication wholesale price to request, points out whether the service provider has the right to use the positioning service of GMLC;
Whether (c9) if the authentication of previous step is passed through, GMLC (6102) is analyzed according to the Location Request that the service provider submits to, judges the privacy of user B, allow to be positioned; If the authentication of previous step is not passed through, flow process finishes;
(c10) if the authentication of previous step is passed through, GMLC (6102) positions user B together with mobile switching centre/attaching position register (MCS/HLR) and Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC); If the authentication of previous step is not passed through, flow process finishes;
(c11) GMLC (6102) is replied to service provider (31) restoring to normal position by the Le interface;
(c12) GMLC uses the situation of GMLC to report Integrated Service Management Platform the service provider;
(c13) ISMP (62) returns the affirmation response of the service provider who reports being used the situation of GMLC to GMLC (6102);
Then, Integrated Service Management Platform (ISMP) uses the situation of GMLC to produce for the Call Data Record (CDR) (not showing among Fig. 3) that charges according to the service provider;
(c14) service provider (31) sends customer position information with note form etc. to Short Message Service Gateway (6101);
(c15) Short Message Service Gateway (6101) sends a request to ISMP (62), comprise request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication user in this request and whether subscribed weather forecast business (promptly having the right to use the weather forecast business) in advance if having the right to use whether short message service is that the prepaid user is if whether the account balance of prepaid user's authentication user enough makes the user use the content of weather forecast business, certainly can also comprise other content, as long as whether it has the right to use weather forecast professional relevant just passable with the user, this process is different with c2.In c2, just ask authentication user whether to be allowed to send short messages, and be to judge whether the user has subscribed this concrete business of weather forecast in advance at this;
Whether (c16) ISMP sends this request responding to this Short Message Service Gateway (6101), have the right to use the weather forecast business to have the right to use whether the weather forecast business is that the prepaid user is if whether prepaid user user's account balance enough makes the user use the answer of weather forecast business if comprise in this response to the user.In conversation procedure, Short Message Service Gateway need be preserved these users, business information stops until session;
(c17) if allow the user to use the weather forecast business, be authentication go out that the user has the right to use weather forecast business (user has subscribed weather forecast) and when the user has the right to use weather forecast professional user's account balance enough make the user use the weather forecast business, then Short Message Service Gateway (6101) issues the weather forecast business to the user.Certainly, if do not allow the user to use the weather forecast business, then flow process finishes;
(c18) Short Message Service Gateway (6101) uses the weather forecast service conditions to Integrated Service Management Platform (62) report of user, comprise that the user uses information such as the flow, duration, number of times of weather forecast business, it is necessary that these information are that Integrated Service Management Platform generates Call Data Record;
(c19) Integrated Service Management Platform sends one to Short Message Service Gateway (6101) and uses the affirmation of weather forecast service conditions to receiving described user.
Then, Integrated Service Management Platform uses the weather forecast service conditions to generate the Call Data Record (CDR) (not showing among Fig. 3) that supplies charging usefulness according to the user, in the CDR that Integrated Service Management Platform generates, the sign that must whether normally be provided with relevant for the charging switch, indicate whether it is improper CDR, as shown in Figure 7, this introduced in front.Integrated Service Management Platform generates formal ticket after with the CDR wholesale price and hands over charging center (not showing among Fig. 3 that it is the background support system of communication network) to use then.
Fig. 4 is carrying out the flow chart of method when link is unusual that secure authentication charges according to embodiments of the invention 2 between Integrated Service Management Platform and the service enabler.In Fig. 4, the link occurs fault between GMLC (6102) and the ISMP (62), the webmaster of GMLC (6102) detect and the link of ISMP (62) obstructed, close the charging switch.The detailed process of this moment is as follows:
(d1) user A inserts service enabler (other engines in like manner)---the Short Message Service Gateway (6101) of note by short message;
(d2) because Short Message Service Gateway (6101) is a service enabler of being responsible for note, so it is to the authenticating and charging request of ISMP (62) initiation to user A, whether have the right to use short message service to have the right to use whether short message service is that the prepaid user is if whether the account balance of prepaid user's authentication user enough makes the user use professional content if comprise request Integrated Service Management Platform authentication user in this request, certainly can also comprise other content, as long as whether it has the right to use short message service relevant just passable with the user.Whether the authentication in this step just has the right to use short message service to carry out authentication to user A, is not whether user A have been ordered this service of weather forecast (weather forecast of promptly whether having the right to receive) carry out authentication.Carry out authentication about whether user A having been ordered this service of weather forecast (weather forecast of promptly whether having the right to receive), in the step of back, carry out;
Whether (d3) ISMP sends this request responding to this service enabler (61), have the right to use short message service to have the right to use whether business is that the prepaid user is if whether prepaid user user's account balance enough makes the user use the answer of short message service if comprise in this response to the user.In conversation procedure, service enabler need be preserved these users, business information stops until session;
(d4) if subscription authentication is not passed through, then flow process finishes; If subscription authentication is passed through, because user A asks to send weather forecast to user B, so Short Message Service Gateway (6101) sends to service provider (31) to the Location Request of consumer positioning B;
(d5) service provider (31) initiates Location Request by the Le interface to GMLC (6102), and GMLC (6102) is a service enabler of being responsible for the location;
(d6) GMLC (6102) carries out service provider's authentication to the service provider, determines whether this service provider is allowed to access GMLC;
(d7) after service provider's authentication is passed through, because the charging switch is in and cuts out (abnormal condition), give tacit consent to authentication pass through this moment, thus GMLC (6102) not as shown in Figure 3 initiate the authenticating and charging request to ISMP (62) like that, directly carry out the privacy authentication of user B;
(d8) if the authentication of previous step is passed through, GMLC (6102) positions user B together with mobile switching centre/attaching position register (MCS/HLR) and Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC); If the authentication of previous step is not passed through, flow process finishes;
(d9) GMLC (6102) is replied to service provider (31) restoring to normal position by the Le interface;
