Description

Charging method, charge information collecting equipment and charge system based on data communication
Technical field
The present invention relates to the billing technology in the communication network, relate in particular to a kind of charging method, charge information collecting equipment and charge system based on data communication.
Background technology
Continuous development along with the mobile data communication network technology, various mobile data services, as multimedia messaging service, MMS (MMS, Multimedia Messaging Service), location service (LCS, LocationServices), payment transaction and WAP (wireless application protocol) (WAP thereof, Wireless Application Protocol) browse service etc. launches to use day by day, because the continuous appearance of comparatively rich and varied mobile data services, will inevitably propose requirements at the higher level to operation mode, particularly the charging way to operator proposes requirements at the higher level.
For the appearance of mobile data services, mobile operator need communicate the two dimension of expense and content fee to the user who has applied for mobile data services respectively and charge, and below the definition of communication expense and content fee is introduced respectively, and is as follows:
Communication expense: mobile operator has built mobile communications network, and the user has used the mobile communications network resource, and mobile operator just need collect the Internet resources usage charges to the user, and the Internet resources usage charges here are communication expense; Communication expense generally uses the flow/duration of Internet resources or monthly payment to charge according to the user.
Content fee the: because (CP of content supplier, Content Provider) provides browsable content resource for the user who has applied for mobile data services, the user has browsed the content resource that CP provides, CP just need collect the content resource usage charges to the user, and the content resource usage charges here are content fee; Content fee is normally acted on behalf of by mobile operator and is collected, and in general, content fee can charge by modes such as the flow/duration of bar (as every MMS is charged), user's browsing content resource or monthly payments.
Wherein the charging way of content fee and rate can be by deciding after the common negotiation of mobile operator and content supplier.
The early stage charge mode of operator is only to collect communication expense, and does not generally collect content fee, and promptly the user can freely go sight-seeing the content resource that content supplier provides, as long as paid communication expense.For example carry out the initial stage in the WAP business, adopted this charge mode exactly, but because of content supplier can not obtain any remuneration, therefore have no idea to transfer the enthusiasm that content supplier provides more more rich content resources, therefore cause the WAP business not have the abundant content resource to utilize, cause the WAP business not carry out rapidly.
Therefore, the later stage revises charge mode, changes to act on behalf of content supplier by Virtual network operator and collect content fee to the user who has used mobile data services.According to above-mentioned definition to communication expense and content fee, the one dimension that the two-dimentional charging way of communication expense and content fee can be split as a pure charge on traffic on the charging principle charges, and the one dimension of content charging and/or content charge on traffic charges, respectively pure charge on traffic, content charge on traffic and three notions of content charging are carried out the specific definition explanation below, as follows:
Pure charge on traffic is meant that identical Internet resources use is chargeed to rate; Because mobile operator has built the mobile network, the user has used Internet resources, at the network operation person, under indiscriminate substantially situation on the cost, in general the user uses the flow of Internet resources or the rate of duration is identical, so can suppose flow or duration a default substantially rate is arranged, therefore the network of flow that just rate can be equated or duration takies and is defined as pure flow.Under the resource occupying of same traffic or duration, because of the sensitiveness of its transmission data, or the price difference of transmission content, the rate of different business content flow or duration might be different.And the pure charge on traffic of definition here is meant that the flow value of indiscriminate default rate or duration value charge, and this part also comprises that major part exempts from the browse service of content fee in chargeing.
The content charge on traffic is meant the content resource in the same URL(uniform resource locator) of user capture (URL, UniformResource Locator) is chargeed that the rate of general content charge on traffic and pure charge on traffic is inequality; As the online multimedia programming of watching of user, just can use the content flow according to the user what this user carried out the content charge on traffic handle;
Content charging is meant the content resource use is chargeed by bar (or by individual), can handle according to content charging as the MMS business.
This shows that when the user used the data service that content supplier provides by mobile data communication network, the mode of the user being counted content fee can comprise at present:
1. content charging, i.e. data business of the every use of user is carried out primary charging at the whole data service of this use to the user;
2. content charge on traffic, promptly data traffic information of using according to the user or temporal information are to user's processing of chargeing;
3. content charging and content charge on traffic, promptly when the user uses data professional, not only to carry out primary charging at the whole data service of this use, also need the data traffic information used according to the user or temporal information user's processing of chargeing to this user.
At present when data service that the user provides by mobile data communication network use content supplier, network side will be counted content fee according to the wherein a kind of data service that the user is used in the above-mentioned meter content fee mode and handle, and when the user uses the data service failure, when only the user being counted content fee at present according to the content charging mode, just can use the object information of data service according to the user, the user is carried out the expense rollback to be handled, and other dual mode not will consider the object information that the user uses data service, user's legal consumption rights and interests will certainly be damaged like this, also the use experience that the user uses data service can be reduced.

The data communication network system of wherein mentioning here includes but not limited to into: mobile data communication network system, based on the fixed network communication system of broadband/narrow band access, WiMAX network system or the like.
Wherein the user uses the situation of data resource to include but not limited to download the data resource that content supplier provides, perhaps data resource that provides by data communication network browsing content provider or the like for: user by data communication network.
The embodiment of the invention is following to be example with the mobile data communication network system, and the realization principle and the implementation process thereof of technical solution of the present invention is described.At first introduce two kinds of system configurations that realize at present mobile data communication network is chargeed below.
As shown in Figure 1, be a kind of system configuration schematic diagram that mobile data communication network is chargeed realized, the correlometer charge information of communication expense wherein, and the content flow information when according to content charge on traffic mode the user being counted content fee all is by the serving GPRS support node (SGSN in 2G network/2.5G network/3G network usually, Serving GPRS Support Node)/Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN, Gate GPRSSupporting Node)/packet data serving node (PDSN, Packet Data Service Node)/network access server (NAS, Network Access Server) etc. node is gathered, here can be long-range connecting system (RAS, Remote Access Server System) 1 with above these node unified Definition; And the correlometer charge information when according to the content charging mode user being counted content fee is normally by Wireless Application Protocol Gateway (WAP GW, Wireless Application Protocol Gateway) 2 or node such as service provider/content supplier (SP/CP) 3 gather, and generate corresponding ticket, unify clearing by operation subsystem (OSS) at last.
But in the above-mentioned two-dimentional charging way that in mobile data communication network, realizes communication expense and content fee, the correlometer charge information of communication expense and the correlometer charge information of content fee are separately gathered respectively in distinct device, so its implementation procedure is certainly existing the problem of limitation and shortcoming flexibility.
For avoiding the problems referred to above, again the above-mentioned two-dimentional charging way of communication expense and content fee that realizes has been carried out relevant improvement in mobile data communication network.
As shown in Figure 2, be the system configuration schematic diagram that the another kind realization is chargeed to mobile data communication network, in this scheme, a kind of situation is that the correlometer charge information of communication expense and content fee is gathered by RAS 10; A kind of situation is expansion WAP GW, so that it supports the parsing of whole service protocols, gathers the charge information relevant with communication expense and content fee by the WAP GW behind the Extended Protocol then; Another kind of situation is to increase a network element between WAP GW and RAS, realizes the parsing of whole service protocols by the network element of this increase, and the correlometer charge information of communication expense and content fee is gathered.For convenience, here unification calls Internet protocol gateway (IP GW) 20 to the equipment that the two kinds of situations in back are used for collection communication expense and content fee correlometer charge information, it is the function that IP GW 20 can realize WAP GW, also can be implemented in the Network Element Function that increases between WAP GW and the RAS, here realize that with IP GW 20 function of WAP GW illustrates, wherein:
RAS 10, the connecting system of portable terminal, and the charge information relevant with communication expense of its collection is only as the charging reference information.
IP GW 20 finishes all mobile data services that the user is used and carries out protocol analysis, and the business of every kind of agreement is carried out the collection of pure charge on traffic information, content charging information and/or content charge on traffic information, and generates ticket; Be used to handle the real-time report of the pure charge on traffic information of prepaid user in addition.
