Embodiment two:
In the prior art, prepaid user's charging is also imperfect, mainly comprises two kinds of situations:
(1) offline charging business.Prepayment service originally is primarily aimed at voice service, and through exploitation for many years, prepaid service extends to short message, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS) etc. gradually.Because professional the transformation needs a large amount of the input, therefore, a kind of compromise scheme has been selected by some operator.That is, allow the prepaid user to use offline business, behind the offline business bill record collection, separate, deliver SCP and charge and handle or fee deduction treatment by acquisition system or charge system.If SCP does not have the charging ability of related service, then, initiate to deduct fees operation to SCP usually by after afterwards a pair charge system is finished wholesale price.
(2) traffic is put logical.Generally, the traffic handing capacity of SCP network element is to design according to common telephone traffic, and when running into major holiday or incident, the conversation flow sharply increases, and the SCP network element can't be handled a large amount of traffics.At this moment, a kind of compromise scheme is traffic to be put logical, and charging event is noted, and after the traffic surge phase, row charges and handles and deduct fees again.
As shown in Figure 7, be application example charging remedial technique scheme schematic diagram of the present invention.Compare with the pre existing payment scheme, the present embodiment scheme is by transforming SCP, MSC/SSP, and having increased simultaneously charges remedies module, generally, charges and remedies module and can consider to be deployed in SCP, but also can be provided with separately, and the present invention is not as limit.Above-mentioned message accounting is remedied module by this charging and is realized, is used for carrying out special processing with unusual ticket takes place, thereby reaches the purpose of accurate billing.Function or the effect of each module in this solution is described below:
1) MSC/SSP: when receiving the customer call request or arriving user's calling, trigger charging message, provide voice service at the calling indication rear line of receiving SCP to SCP; And the beat according to predetermined reports charging message to SCP; When user's communication finishes, report the charging end to SCP.
Under abnormal conditions, MSC/SSP has write down user's actual call volume (as duration), forms user's offline bill.
2) SCP: receive charging message, to user's mandates of chargeing, but determine user's call volume (as duration etc.), and reception has been consumed deducting fees of duration from the charging intermediate report of MSC/SSP from MSC/SSP.When end of calling, calculate user's final consumption amount, and finish fee deduction treatment.
Under abnormal conditions, SCP detects communication link fails (as charging message ACR overtime or ERB message do not receive), the detected time point of recording exceptional, output abnormality ticket; In ticket, comprised the consumption figure of having deducted fees, suspicious consumption figure (promptly be handed down to MSC/SSP and still failed to receive affirmation ACR/ERB message).
3) bill record collection: generally, be used for receiving charging bill, after preliminary treatment, ticket be distributed to billing and accounting system,, and form subscriber's account so that billing and accounting system can charge to (pay the back) user's conversation from MSC/SSP.
Under the said abnormal case of application example of the present invention, the bill record collection module can be distributed to the ticket of pre-pay subscriber to charge remedies module, finishes needed processing so that module is remedied in charging.
4) charge and to remedy module: be the module that increases newly, be specifically designed to and handle the said abnormal conditions of application example of the present invention, be about to fault ticket that SCP generates and compare, finish the benefit button of expense or return to from the offline bill of bill record collection.Charging is remedied module and has been comprised the wholesale price function, so that offline bill is chargeed; Generally, charging is remedied module and can be considered to be deployed in SCP, charges to remedy module and can carry accounting module, also can use the accounting module among the SCP to carry out wholesale price, perhaps use the billing function of other system (as the offline charging account system), finishing charges handles.
5) user account database: storage prepaid user's billing information mainly is a balance amount information, as user's avail etc.
When communication failure occurring, SCP provides the fault ticket, delivers and remedies module to charging; Simultaneously, from the offline bill process bill record collection of MSC/SSP, transferring to charges remedies module, charges and remedies the consumption figure that writes down in the module contrast ticket, determines user's actual fee to be charged, determines whether subsequent collection or returns to expense.
As shown in Figure 8, be application example charging remediation Signalling exchange schematic flow sheet of the present invention.Specify as follows:
1) user makes a call, perhaps this user of other customer calls, and MSC/SSP triggers IN process according to CSI to SCP, and this moment, MSC/SSP reported Initial Detection Point (IDP) signaling to SCP.
2) SCP carries out necessary processing, comprising and charge handling calculating (among Fig. 8 2) user and can authorize duration etc., and at this moment, SCP needs the calling party accounts database, obtains user account balance amount information wherein, and carries out charge future (among Fig. 8 2.1) etc.
3) SCP is according to the charging result, issues message such as RRBE (among Fig. 8 3), AC (among Fig. 8 4), FCI (among Fig. 8 5), CONTINUE (among Fig. 8 6), calls out and continues (among Fig. 8 6).
Wherein AC request MSC/SSP is provided with consumption duration that the user can use, charging report cycle etc.; RRBE indication is used the user needs the incident that reports in the service process; FCI is used to notify MSC/SSP, in user's ticket sign is set, and represents that this user's ticket charges at SCP; CONTINUE then instruct MS C/SSP begins the customer call that continues, and through the operation that continues of MSC/SSP, the user enters conversation subsequently.
Discuss for convenient, application example of the present invention supposes that here this customer call duration has surpassed primary charging information and reported at interval.
4) surpass an interval at user's communication, MSC/SSP reports charging message ACR (among Fig. 8 8) to SCP, SCP receives this message, the processing (among Fig. 8 9) of chargeing, comprise the expense of having consumed of reducing, and calculate new mandate consumption figure, in case of necessity, need reserve new expense (among Fig. 8 9.1) again.SCP issues AC to MSC/SSP.MSC/SSP proceeds monitoring according to the duration of call setting that is provided with among the AC to user's communication.
In the user's communication process, charge information reports with Apply Charging and issues and may repeat repeatedly.
Under the normal condition, during to end of calling, MSC/SSP reports charge information to give SCP, and SCP finishes the final charging of user's communication according to this charging message.In the handled scene of application example of the present invention, owing to the communication link reason, SCP is after issuing AC message, and what surpass to be provided with reports sense cycle, does not receive the charging message ACR that MSC/SSP reports, and this moment is as described in the following step:
5) during user's communication, as among Fig. 8 11, SCP detects to charge and reports signaling ACR to lose, and SCP discharges session and handles resource; And generate fault ticket (as among Fig. 8 12), comprise Subscriber Number, the duration of call, deduct fees usefulness, reserve expense and other charge informations.Here, what the duration of call write down is that SCP calls out the time that has continued when upward call resources discharges, and also can be to amount to the duration of deducting fees and authorizing, and specifically decides on the realization of manufacturer.Can see, here because lost contact with MSC/SSP, SCP detect fault according to this locality and the duration that calculates or corresponding to deduct fees with and duration and the real consumption duration of having reserved expense may not be inconsistent, therefore, need to adjust, Here it is need handle the part of examining.Having reserved expense wouldn't deduct from user account, but keeps reservation state, waits until and examines the definite processing mode in back.
6) under many circumstances, for conversation and the service quality that does not influence the user, detect the SCP link failure and do not receive and reply that (this moment, MSC/SSP reported charging message, but because link problem at MSC/SSP, can not get replying of SCP), MSC/SSP continues as the user service is provided; Perhaps when MSC/SSP detects end of calling, when reporting charging message (ACR) or end of call event (using ERB), do not receive the RC message informing call release that SCP returns.At this moment, when MSC/SSP finishes in user's communication (among Fig. 8 13), generate offline bill (among Fig. 8 14), and stamp distinctive mark to show the differentiation with the normal termination situation at this ticket.
7) the fault ticket that generates of SCP passes to charge and remedies module (as among Fig. 8 21).In SCP, can consider the fault ticket is outputed to independently file, perhaps from the normal billing ticket, separate, deliver separately and remedy module to charging.
8) offline bill that produces of MSC/SSP passes to bill record collection system (as among Fig. 8 22), and the bill record collection system passes to the pre-pay subscriber ticket to charge and remedies module (as among Fig. 8 23,24).When MSC/SSP provides ticket, off-line problem ticket can be outputed to separately in file or the catalogue, acquisition system can arrive file according to catalogue or file identification.Also can adopt the offline bill of needs being examined according to the form of special marking in the ticket to separate.
9) charge and to remedy module SCP fault ticket and MSC/SSP offline bill are compared, determine the expense adjustment.The follow-up discussion of concrete adjustment.
10) according to the adjustment situation, charging is remedied module and is carried out the user account adjustment, comprises the expense of reducing or returns to expense.Concrete condition, definite according to the adjustment result of last time.
When actual treatment, charge remedy module need be according to the consumption figure that comprises in the offline bill (being duration here), recomputate the actual expense that should collect to the user.Module is remedied in charging can carry accounting module, also can be to use the accounting module among the SCP, carries out wholesale price.
If fee to be charged surpasses the expense of having reduced+reserved expense, then should the subsequent collection expense, its number is that fee to be charged deducts the expense of reducing and reserved the expense sum.At this moment, charging is remedied module and is initiated the request of deducting fees to the SCP account management module; Comprised the expense of reserving in the request of deducting fees.
If fee to be charged is less than the expense of reducing+reserved expense, then should return to expense, its number is for reducing expense and having reserved expense sum deduction fee to be charged.At this moment, charging is remedied module and is initiated to move back the expense request to the SCP account management module.Comprised simultaneously during the expense of moving back is asked and reserved expense.
If fee to be charged equals the expense of reducing+ reserved expense, and has reserved the expense non-zero, then also should initiate the request of deducting fees, it mends button number is zero, reservation expense is the reservation expense in the ticket.
When receiving that the expense of asking/move back of deducting fees is asked, the nusrmgr.cpl module will be handled reservation expense simultaneously, with its actual deduction; In moving back expense request, will return to part and return user account, the actual deduction of remainder (reserved expense-return to expense).
11) charge and to remedy module and generate adjusted new ticket (among Fig. 8 27), to reflect actual deducting fees and charging case.
As mentioned above, generally, SCP can issue the FCI signaling and give MSC/SSP, and MSC/SSP charges at this ticket of offline bill mark.In the charging normal termination, SCP issues RC message and gives MSC/SSP, after MSC/SSP receives this message, generates offline bill.In order to reduce the amount that needs to adjust ticket, can consider that after normally receiving RC, the FCI mark of MSC/SSP in ticket is revised as special marking 1 to be handled normal fully with the charging of expression SCP.Do not receive RC and the charging bill that causes for MSC/SSP, then adopt different mark (as special marking 2, this kind ticket becomes suspicious offline bill).For last situation, when bill record collection, can separate according to this mark.
The ticket pair principle can be according to common Subscriber Number+type of call+conversation time started+the other side's number mates, if the fault ticket is consistent with this keyword of suspicious offline bill, then expression is right to the ticket from SCP and MSC/SSP of same call.
Concrete adjustment way is: calculate fee to be charged (f1) according to the MSC/SCP offline bill.Consumption figure should be as the criterion with the consumption figure in the offline bill.
1) SCP fault ticket has been deducted fees and has been used and reserve expense sum (f2)>offline bill fee to be charged (f1), then should return to the f2-f1 expense, and actual deduction has been reserved expense-(f2-f1).
2) SCP fault ticket has been deducted fees and has been used and reserve expense sum (f2)<offline bill fee to be charged (f1), then extra subsequent collection f1-f2 expense.
3) SCP fault ticket has been deducted fees and has been used and reserve expense sum (f2)=offline bill fee to be charged (f1), then should deduct and reserve the expense part.
The described technical scheme of application example of the present invention, solved at described SCP and issued the consumption authorization messages to behind the described MSC/SSP, the charging problem that when receiving the charging reporting message of described MSC/SSP, surpasses the specific communication condition that reports sense cycle that presets, the effect of bringing comprises: 1) can revise the incorrect information of prepayment ticket, finish correct charging.2) for the user, owing to adjust to the actual conditions of deducting fees, therefore, under many buttons situation, can return to the user with detaining part more, therefore, reduced user's loss; Also avoided the user to be involved in the complaint that causes because of the expense mistake.3), can prevent the loss that brings because reducing customer consumption market for operator; Because customer complaint is avoided in the adjustment of chargeing as far as possible, make operator to reduce simultaneously because handle the operation cost of complaining and causing; Simultaneously,, reduced the discontented of user, avoided user's loss as much as possible owing to avoid complaining as far as possible.
