Further specify the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Third-Party Service, be also referred to as SP (service provider, Service Provider) service system, link to each other with the service offering platform, for the user provides actual service, and the service catalogue in the service offering platform issues its service, wherein comprises the service identifiers and the expenses standard information of its service.The user uses service by the service offering platform.When the user uses service, produce the request of charging by the service offering platform, submit to charge system and charge.
Wherein, the service offering platform is for the user provides service catalogue and browses means.The user can be connected to the service offering platform in several ways, browses various value-added services, and selects to use service.The service offering platform sends to the actual Third-Party Service that service is provided with user's service request; And the service service recorder that will produce (request of promptly chargeing) passes to charge system.
Third-Party Service is for the user provides actual service.After the service request of receiving from the service offering platform, provide service to the user.In embodiments of the present invention, Third-Party Service comprises the fee administration module of self, is used for the configuration service tariff information, and provides tariff information to charge system.In addition, also can serve tariff information, and provide tariff information to charge system by the service offering platform configuration.
Charge system receives the charge information from the service offering platform, and this charge information can be a real-time messages.Behind identification service authorization sign wherein, can from Third-Party Service or product repository, obtain tariff information, and utilize the expenses standard information of being obtained to finish charging.When chargeing, charge system need be visited the product repository of this charge system, therefrom obtains the definition of relevant product charging policy.
The product repository is preserved service provider's product configuration information.The expenses standard information that comprises service in the product configuration information.
Figure 1A is the flow chart of charging method embodiment one of the present invention.Shown in Figure 1A, present embodiment comprises:
Step 11: receive the request of charging.
Specifically, above-mentioned charging request comes from the service offering platform.Before Third-Party Service provides service for the user or after service is provided, the service offering platform will generate the charging request relevant with this service, and charge system is issued in the request of should chargeing.Generally, the request of chargeing comprises service identifiers.Optionally, also can comprise tariff indicator, service service recorder, service user's information and service provider's information in the charging request.
Step 12: when in judging the request of charging, comprising tariff indicator, in the rate correspondence table, search the pairing tariff indicator of service identifiers that comprises in the request of charging.
Preserve the rate correspondence table in the product repository of embodiment of the invention charge system, record the corresponding relation between service identifiers, expenses standard information and the tariff indicator of each service in this rate correspondence table.Third-Party Service when upgrading expenses standard information, for this expenses standard information setting corresponding tariff indicator.Tariff indicator is used to distinguish the different tariff standard information of a service at different times, so tariff indicator can reflect the newness degree of expenses standard information.In the specific implementation process, this tariff indicator can generate based on the update time of expenses standard information, for example can comprise the information relevant with update time in this tariff indicator.In the specific implementation process, the rate correspondence table can adopt such as but not limited to following data structure:
Table 1 is the rate correspondence table
| Service identifiers | Expenses standard information | Tariff indicator |
| V0001 | 2 yuan/time | V0001_20091225110145 |
| ... | ... | ... |
As shown in table 1, concrete temporal information when tariff indicator comprises service identifiers and this tariff indicator is set, it is (update time of expenses standard information the last time) that when is provided with that concrete temporal information when wherein, this tariff indicator being set is up-to-date expenses standard information (2 yuan/time).
After Third-Party Service upgrades the expenses standard information of the service that provided, can send expenses standard information after upgrading to the product repository of charge system and service delivery platform.In actual application, often there are difference in service offering platform and charge system to the renewal speed of expenses standard information, and in general, the renewal speed of service offering platform is faster.Therefore, during the expenses standard information updating, the service offering platform inconsistent phenomenon might occur to the expenses standard information of user's issue and the expenses standard information in the charge system.
The embodiment of the invention tariff indicator that has been the expenses standard information setting.The service offering platform can all carry tariff indicator when chargeing request each the transmission, and also can be only in Third-Party Service upgrades between the given period of expenses standard information tariff indicator being carried at charges issues charge system in asking.Therefore, charge system receives when chargeing request, needs to judge in the request of charging whether comprise tariff indicator.Comprise tariff indicator if charge in the request, then charge system is searched the pairing tariff indicator of service identifiers that comprises in the request of charging in the rate correspondence table.
As optionally, charge system can at first be differentiated user profile, service identifiers information, service provider's information in the request of chargeing after receiving the request of charging.After discriminating was passed through, charge system further judged in the request of charging whether comprise tariff indicator again.Comprise tariff indicator if charge in the request, then from the rate correspondence table, search corresponding tariff indicator according to the service identifiers in the request of chargeing.
Step 13: when the tariff indicator that comprises in the request of chargeing is identical with the tariff indicator that finds, according to the expenses standard information and executing billing operation of service identifiers correspondence in the rate correspondence table.
When the tariff indicator that comprises in the request of chargeing is identical with the tariff indicator that finds in the rate correspondence table, show no matter be service offering platform or charge system, all information updating finishes to expenses standard, at this moment, the expenses standard information that writes down in the rate correspondence table in the expenses standard information of user issue and charge system of service offering platform is consistent.Therefore, charge system extracts expenses standard information and carries out billing operation according to service identifiers from the rate correspondence table.In general, the renewal of expenses standard information will be faster than the renewal of expenses standard information in the charge system in the service offering platform, therefore if the tariff indicator that comprises in the request of chargeing is inconsistent with the tariff indicator that finds, expenses standard information in the expression charge system rate correspondence table also is not updated, this moment, whether consistent with tariff indicator in the request of chargeing charge system can detect tariff indicator in the rate correspondence table (promptly wait for charge system self the rate correspondence table is upgraded) at interval every regular time, extracts expenses standard information again and carry out billing operation from the rate correspondence table when both are consistent.In addition, do not comprise tariff indicator if judge charging in asking, illustrate that Third-Party Service does not upgrade expenses standard information in the recent period, then charge system is directly chargeed according to the expenses standard information of service identifiers correspondence in the rate correspondence table.
In the specific implementation process, comprise also in the charging method shown in Figure 1A that charge system carries out updating steps according to the renewal of Third-Party Service indication to the expenses standard information in self product repository, below just be described in detail in conjunction with Figure 1B.
Shown in Figure 1B, during the expenses standard information after the Third-Party Service issue is upgraded, the embodiment of the invention also comprises:
Step 14: receive first update request, extract the service identifiers, expenses standard information and the tariff indicator that comprise in first update request.
After Third-Party Service upgrades expenses standard information, can send first update request to charge system.Subsequently, charge system receives first update request that Third-Party Service sends, and extracts the service identifiers, expenses standard information and the tariff indicator that wherein comprise.
Step 15:, the expenses standard information and the tariff indicator of above-mentioned service identifiers correspondence in the rate correspondence table are upgraded according to expenses standard information and the tariff indicator extracted.
The rate correspondence table is stored in the product repository of charge system.The product repository can be the database of physics, also can be to dispose storage entity closely with charge system, as internal memory, shared drive, memory database etc.; Charge system is directly retrieved the rate correspondence table that comprises in this storage entity when chargeing processing, and charges according to the expenses standard information that wherein comprises.In practical situation, first update request of Third-Party Service issue can directly be published in this storage entity, also can be published to the secondary storage entity that links to each other with this storage entity, as the physical database with respect to internal memory etc.
According to the charging method that the embodiment of the invention provides, charge system at first judges in the request of charging whether comprise tariff indicator when receiving the charging request that the service offering platform sends.When in the request of chargeing, comprising tariff indicator, tariff indicator in the request of chargeing and the tariff indicator of extracting from the rate correspondence table according to service identifiers are compared, when both were consistent, charge system was carried out billing operation according to the expenses standard information corresponding with service identifiers that extracts from the rate correspondence table.If inconsistent, the tariff indicator of charge system in set time detection rate correspondence table chargeed when consistent with tariff indicator in the request of chargeing again.Therefore, having avoided upgrading expenses standard information because of charge system is later than the service offering platform and causes the expenses standard information that presents to the user to handle the phenomenon of the expenses standard information inconsistency that uses with chargeing.
Fig. 2 is the signaling diagram of charging method embodiment three of the present invention.Present embodiment is that example describes embodiment of the invention charging method with the Video service.Detailed process as shown in Figure 2,
B1: the service offering platform sends the request of charging to charge system, and the request of charging has comprised user profile, information on services, service provider's information and tariff indicator.
Wherein, user profile can be such as but not limited to subscriber identity information; Information on services can be such as but not limited to information such as service identifiers; Service provider's information can be such as but not limited to the ID as the service provider.
In the present embodiment, user identity is user's a phone number 6250001, and service identifiers is video IDV0001, and service provider ID is that SP001, tariff indicator are V0001_20091225110145.Except that above-mentioned information, also can comprise date, time, other information such as bandwidth in the request of chargeing.
Step B2: the charge system request back of receive chargeing differentiates the request of chargeing, and extracts the tariff indicator of this service identifiers correspondence according to service identifiers from the rate correspondence table of product repository after differentiating successfully.
Charge system learns that according to the request of chargeing user 6250001 watches the video V0001 that service provider SP 001 provides, and the tariff indicator that comprises in the request of wherein chargeing is V0001_20091225110145.Charge system is extracted tariff indicator according to information such as V0001 from the rate correspondence table, for example the tariff indicator of extracting from the rate correspondence table is V0001_20091225090005.At this moment, the expenses standard information in the rate correspondence table is 3 yuan/time.
The product repository of mentioning in step B2 can be the database of physics, also can be to dispose storage entity closely with charge system, as internal memory, shared drive, memory database etc.; Charge system is directly retrieved the product configuration information that comprises in this storage entity, and in view of the above service log is chargeed when chargeing processing.In practical situation, the expenses ajustment information that Third-Party Service or service offering platform are issued can directly be published in this storage entity, also can be published to the secondary storage entity that links to each other with this storage entity, as the physical database with respect to internal memory etc.Situation for physical database, as first update request that comprises expenses standard information has been published in the physical database, charge system changes as if the discovery tariff indicator when comparing tariff indicator, can from physical database, check the product configuration information, thereby refresh the content in the direct buffer memory.And this situation causes the inconsistent reason of modal rate often.
Step B3: the tariff indicator that the tariff indicator that charge system will be extracted from the rate correspondence table comprises in asking with charging compares, and determines that according to comparative result the expenses standard information in the rate correspondence table is not up-to-date expenses standard information.
Tariff indicator V0001_20091225110145 in tariff indicator V0001_20091225090005 that is comprised by rate correspondence table relatively and the charge information, it is inconsistent to determine both.
For the product repository as the secondary storage entity of charge system, the buffer memory of the refreshable charge system of charge system makes in the buffer memory rate correspondence table in the rate correspondence table and product repository synchronous.Afterwards, every the set time, flush buffers is searched the pairing tariff indicator of V0001 from buffer memory, consistent with V0001_20091225110145 until the tariff indicator that finds, and then charges.
For product repository as charge system one-level storage entity, charge system is every the set time, the pairing tariff indicator of V0001 is searched in continuation from the product repository, consistent with V0001_20091225110145 until the tariff indicator that finds, and then charges.
Step B4: after monitoring a period of time, charge system is upgraded the rate correspondence table according to the expenses standard information of third party system issue, after this, when the tariff indicator that comprises in the tariff indicator of extracting from the rate correspondence table and the request of chargeing was consistent, charge system was chargeed from the expenses standard information of rate correspondence table extraction according to service identifiers.
After the expenses standard information updating, the expenses standard information of extracting from the rate correspondence table is 2 yuan/time, and tariff indicator is V0001_20091225110145, and charge system is carried out normal billing, collects 2 yuan of expenses to user 6250001.
Fig. 3 A is the flow chart of rate update method embodiment one of the present invention.As shown in Figure 3A, present embodiment comprises:
Step 31: receive the rate lastest imformation of input, the rate lastest imformation comprises service identifiers and expenses standard information.
Particularly, Third-Party Service receives the rate lastest imformation (importing by hand such as but not limited to the keeper) of input, wherein, comprises service identifiers and expenses standard information in this rate lastest imformation.
Step 32: generate tariff indicator, the expenses standard information and the tariff indicator of service identifiers correspondence described in the tariff information table are upgraded according to the tariff indicator of described expenses standard information and generation.
Particularly, Third-Party Service is that the expenses standard information in the rate lastest imformation generates tariff indicator, according to the tariff indicator of expenses standard information and generation the expenses standard information and the tariff indicator of service identifiers correspondence in the tariff information table is upgraded.
Preserve the tariff information table in the Third-Party Service that the embodiment of the invention provides, record the corresponding relation between service identifiers, expenses standard information and the tariff indicator in the tariff information table.As what hereinafter will describe,, also can further write down the term of validity of tariff indicator in the tariff information table as optionally.In the specific implementation process, the tariff information table can adopt such as but not limited to following data structure:
Table 2 is the tariff information table
| Service identifiers | Expenses standard information | Tariff indicator | The term of validity |
| V0001 | 2 yuan/time | V0001_20091225110145 | 7 days |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
When the service provider of Third-Party Service needed the expenses standard information of update service, the service provider can comprise the rate lastest imformation of service identifiers and expenses standard information to the Third-Party Service input.After Third-Party Service receives the rate lastest imformation of input, be the new tariff indicator of expenses standard information setting after upgrading, and the expenses standard information and the tariff indicator of this service identifiers correspondence in the tariff information table are upgraded.As shown in table 2, the pairing service of service identifiers V0001 is after last update, and its expenses standard information updating is 2 yuan/time, and tariff indicator is updated to V0001_20091225110145, wherein, this tariff indicator can reflect the last concrete update time.In addition, can also see that the term of validity of this tariff indicator is 7 days.As hereinafter will describing, after the term of validity, will no longer comprise tariff indicator in the charging request that charge system is received.
Step 33: send first update request, first update request comprises service identifiers, the expenses standard information after upgrading and upgrade after tariff indicator.
Specifically, Third-Party Service sends first update request to charge system, first update request comprises service identifiers, the expenses standard information after upgrading and upgrade after tariff indicator.
Step 34: send second update request, second update request comprises the expenses standard information after service identifiers and the renewal.
Specifically, Third-Party Service sends second update request to the service offering platform, and second update request comprises the expenses standard information after service identifiers and the renewal, and this corresponding Third-Party Service is as the situation of charging triggering point.As hereinafter will describing, as optionally, also can comprise service identifiers in second update request, expenses standard information and tariff indicator (, also can comprise the term of validity of tariff indicator) after upgrading as optionally, this corresponding with service delivery platform is as the situation of charging triggering point.
Third-Party Service sends first update request to charge system after the tariff information table is upgraded, and makes charge system upgrade the rate correspondence table according to first update request.In addition, Third-Party Service also sends second update request to the service offering platform, so that the service offering platform upgrades its service price table.
As hereinafter will describing, when Third-Party Service is put as charging triggering, Third-Party Service in second update request that the service offering platform sends, do not comprise with upgrade after the corresponding tariff indicator of expenses standard information.When Third-Party Service was transmitted service request from the user, Third-Party Service carried tariff indicator in response message at the follow-up service delivery platform.And when the service offering platform is put as charging triggering, should comprise the tariff indicator of generation in second update request, as optionally, also can comprise the term of validity of this tariff indicator this moment in second update request.
Need to prove: step 33 and step 34 can be carried out simultaneously.
The rate update method that the embodiment of the invention provides, the service offering platform can comprise tariff indicator to the charging request that charge system sends always, also can be only during the third party system adjusts expenses standard information (promptly in the term of validity in tariff indicator) tariff indicator is carried in the request of charging and sends to charge system.
As indicated above, the tariff information table also can comprise the term of validity of tariff indicator in the embodiment of the invention.Third-Party Service also generates the term of validity of tariff indicator except that generating tariff indicator in step 32, and according to the term of validity of the tariff indicator that generates the term of validity of the tariff indicator of service identifiers correspondence in the tariff information table is upgraded.When the service offering platform was put as charging triggering, second update request that Third-Party Service sends to the service offering platform also comprised the term of validity of tariff indicator except that comprising service identifiers, expenses standard information and tariff indicator.The term of validity of tariff indicator is used for during Third-Party Service upgrades expenses standard information, determines whether the service offering platform will carry the tariff indicator into the expenses standard information setting after upgrading in the charging request that charge system sends.
In the specific implementation process, when Third-Party Service is put as charging triggering, also can comprise the process that Third-Party Service is handled user's service request in the rate update method shown in Fig. 3 A, below just be described in conjunction with Fig. 3 B.
Shown in Fig. 3 B, when Third-Party Service was put as charging triggering, the method from user's service request that Third-Party Service handles that the service offering platform transmits comprised:
Step 35: receive service request, comprise described service identifiers in the described service request.
Specifically, the service offering platform is transmitted to Third-Party Service with this service request after receiving service request from the user.Third-Party Service receives the service request from the user that the service offering platform is transmitted, and wherein, comprises service identifiers in this service request.
Step 36: the tariff indicator of searching described service identifiers correspondence;
Specifically, Third-Party Service is searched the tariff indicator of service identifiers correspondence in the tariff information table, and as optionally, Third-Party Service also can be searched the term of validity of above-mentioned tariff indicator in the tariff information table.
Step 37: send the response message of replying, the tariff indicator that comprises described service identifiers in the described response message and find as to described service request.
Specifically, Third-Party Service sends the response message of replying as to service request, comprises service identifiers and tariff indicator in the response message.As optionally, if in step 36, Third-Party Service is searched the term of validity of above-mentioned tariff indicator in the tariff information table, then also can increase by a determining step in the step 37, judge promptly whether current time is within the described term of validity, if, then just comprise the tariff indicator that finds in the response message judging that current time is within the term of validity, if and the judgement current time is in outside the term of validity, then will not comprise the tariff indicator that finds in the response message.
When determining to provide service, Third-Party Service, generally, comprises service identifiers in the response message with echo reply information.When Third-Party Service is put as charging triggering, if current time is within the term of validity of the tariff indicator that finds, the third party system will be carried at from the tariff indicator that the rate correspondence table finds to the response message that the service offering platform sends, make the service offering platform that tariff indicator is sent to charge system.If current time is in outside the term of validity, the adjusting stage that shows Third-Party Service expenses standard information is mistake, this moment, service offering platform and charge system were all finished the renewal to expenses standard information, therefore the expenses standard information that represents to the user of service offering platform and the charge system expenses standard information of storing is consistent, in this case, the third party system need not tariff indicator to be carried to send to the service offering platform in the response message again.
The rate update method that the embodiment of the invention provides, after Third-Party Service upgrades expenses standard, expenses standard information and the tariff indicator corresponding with it are sent to charge system, make in charge system is follow-up when chargeing according to the request of the chargeing tariff indicator and the tariff indicator of self storage compare, thereby determine whether to charge according to the expenses standard information of self storing.Therefore, avoided upgrading the rate correspondence table and being later than the service offering platform and causing the expenses standard information that presents to the user to handle the phenomenon of the expenses standard information inconsistency that uses with chargeing owing to charge system.
Fig. 4 is the signaling diagram of rate update method embodiment three of the present invention.The service offering platform is as the charging triggering point in the present embodiment.Present embodiment is the handling process of example explanation Third-Party Service after to the expenses standard information updating with the Video service.Specifically as shown in Figure 4:
