Technical Field
The present invention relates to mobile communication systems, and in particular, to a method and system for realizing real-time service charge reminding.
Background
Currently, when a user uses a communication service provided by a telecommunication operator, the tariff of the service is usually only known when the user handles the service or the user actively consults the operator. In practical use, as the kinds of services increase, it is often difficult for users to clearly remember the tariff standard for each service. For example, for voice call services, the tariff of the user may vary depending on the called number dialed, the specific tariff for the call is usually not known to the user until the number is dialed, and it is only after the call is over that possible to know the tariff.
With the rapid development of communication technology, various communication services are developed endlessly, which also provides soil for a few lawbreakers to deceive users of telephone charges through services unfamiliar to the users, and the lawbreaks cause huge economic losses to the users and cause huge attacks on social integrity.
Therefore, how to enable the user to easily know the charge of each service before using the service becomes a problem to be solved at present.

Further, when the switching device forwards the service charge information to the terminal, if the terminal and the switching device have a signaling channel, the switching device sends the service charge information to the terminal in a signaling mode through the signaling channel.
Furthermore, after the switching equipment receives the service initiation request message and before the service charge inquiry message is sent to the charging equipment, the switching equipment also prompts the user to decide whether to receive the service charge information; if the user decides to receive the service charge information, the terminal returns a receiving confirmation indication message to the exchange equipment, and after receiving the receiving confirmation indication message, the exchange equipment performs the operation of sending a service charge inquiry message to the charging equipment.
Further, when the switching equipment forwards the service charge information to the terminal, the switching equipment also inquires whether the user uses the service initiated by the user, and if the user decides to use the service, the terminal sends a service use request message to the switching equipment; and after receiving the service use request message, the switching equipment performs normal service connection.
Further, the charging device is an online charging system or an offline charging system.
Further, a system for realizing real-time reminding of service charges comprises: a terminal, a switching device and a charging device; the terminal is used for sending a service initiating request message to the switching equipment so as to initiate a service; the switching equipment is used for sending a service charge inquiry message to the charging equipment after receiving the service initiation request message; and forwarding the received service charge information to the terminal; the charging device is used for inquiring the service charge information of the user after receiving the service charge inquiry message and sending the service charge information to the exchange device.
Further, the terminal carries the number of the user in the service initiating request message, and the switching equipment carries the service type of the service initiated by the user and the received number of the user in the service tariff inquiring message; and the charging equipment inquires service charge information according to the number and the service type.
In summary, when the user initiates the service, the invention notifies the user of the charge standard of the service initiated by the user, and the user determines whether to continue to use the service accordingly, thereby enhancing the transparency of service charge and improving the service quality of the operator.
