Description

A traffic management method, terminal device, server and system

technical field

The present invention relates to a traffic management technology in the field of network management, in particular to a traffic management method, terminal equipment, server and system.

Background technique

"Directed traffic" refers to the data traffic generated by individual users using specific services or accessing specific web pages through the network provided by the operator when they use mobile phones to surf the Internet. Directed traffic is mainly that Internet companies or enterprises uniformly pay operators to purchase corresponding traffic, and operators will no longer charge individual customers for the traffic fees generated when users use the services provided by it. At present, the main technical solution for implementing directional traffic is that the operator configures policy rules on the gateway of the packet domain (data service) on the mobile network. Enterprises applying to purchase directed traffic need to provide relevant policy information such as IP addresses, domain names, protocols, and content keywords that need to be reduced or exempted. The operator configures the corresponding policy information on the gateway device in the packet domain. When an individual user generates data traffic through a terminal using the operator's network, the gateway device parses the data packets of the traffic and matches according to the corresponding rules. After matching, the gateway device generates a special identifier on the bill file to generate the bill file. After the subsequent charging unit obtains the bill file, it calculates the charges according to the identification on the bill file and according to the charging rules for directional traffic, and reduces or exempts the related charges for individual users.

The existing technical solutions for implementing directional traffic can meet the business requirements of enterprises, but there are also problems in the following aspects: Flexibility: the current technical solution is to configure policies on the packet domain gateway on the operator's mobile network. Parse the data packet to identify the CDR. If the enterprise has a policy change, it needs to communicate with the operator in time to change the corresponding rules before changing the use. The process is very cumbersome, and the real-time performance of subsequent change operations is very low. To deal with performance problems: The packet domain gateway device is used to parse the data packets, and the directional traffic is distinguished by matching rules. It is necessary to analyze, parse and match the data packets generated by all users on the mobile network. Affecting the user's Internet speed can only be solved by the operator's equipment expansion.

Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Embodiment 1.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a traffic management method, which is applied to a terminal device. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes:

Step 101: open the first application;

Step 102: obtaining the target file from the server side based on the first application;

Step 103: Based on the operation for the target file, generate operation status information for the target file;

Step 104: Send the operation situation information to the server side.

Here, the terminal device may be a mobile terminal, a tablet computer, or other devices.

The first application may be a client APP issued by an enterprise.

The obtaining of the target file from the server side based on the first application may be that after the first application is opened, the first application is connected to the server of the network, and the target file required by the user is obtained from the server. For example, when connecting to the network through a video application, you can use the video application to search from the network side to see if there is a video you want to watch online, and if you find a video, you can obtain the video stream of the video from the server.

Further, the first application may be provided with a plug-in of the first type, the plug-in may be provided by the operator to the enterprise that subscribes to the directional traffic, and may be packaged into the client application of the enterprise. Enterprises can flexibly design business processes according to their own application requirements, and the plug-in should be called for free links for users. The plug-in mainly implements two main functions: the first is the authentication function, and the second is the message sending function.

The authentication function is used to perform authentication on the authentication server when running the first application, such as an enterprise APP client, to check the validity of the enterprise corresponding to the plug-in, so as to prevent the plug-in from being used illegally.

Specifically, before the target file is obtained from the server side based on the first application, the method further includes:

running the first type of plug-in in the first application;

Obtain the Internet Protocol address, user ID and authentication password of the terminal device through the first type of plug-in;

Generate an authentication request based on the Internet Protocol address, user ID and authentication password of the terminal device;

sending the authentication request to the server side, so that the server side authenticates the operation of the first type of plug-in according to the authentication request, and sends the authentication result to the terminal device;

The authentication result returned by the server side is received.

The method for obtaining the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the terminal device may be: after the terminal device is connected to the network, it detects its own network connection configuration, and then extracts the IP address from the network connection configuration.

The identification information of the terminal device may be the IMSI of the terminal device.

The authentication password may be preset in the first application according to the actual situation, or may be account information allocated by the network to the first application when the user registers using the account information on the network through the first application.

The message sending function can be implemented in the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1. The operation situation information for the target file is generated based on the operation on the target file, including:

When confirming to output the target file, obtain the first moment of initially outputting the target file, and generate the first sub-information of the operation situation of the target file based on the first moment;

When it is determined to stop outputting the target file, a second time when the output of the target file is stopped is acquired, and second sub-information on the operation situation of the target file is generated based on the second time.

Through the first time and the second time, the server side can identify the time when the user starts and stops playing the target file, so as to obtain the situation of the user's use of network traffic.

Wherein, the first sub-information of the operation situation and the second self-information of the operation situation may further include: IP address and identification information of the terminal device.

Scenario 2, the operation situation information for the target file is generated based on the operation on the target file, including:

When the output of the target file is confirmed, the first moment of initially outputting the target file is obtained; when it is determined to stop outputting the target file, the second moment of stopping the output of the target file is obtained; based on the first The time and the second time, the Internet Protocol address information of the terminal device and the identification information of the terminal device are used to generate the operation status information of the target file.

Wherein, the operation situation information may further include the IP address of the terminal device and the identification information of the terminal device.

That is, when the first application needs to be free of charge to the user according to the business process defined by itself, the user's mobile phone number, IP address, and start identification are sent to the operator's message server through the plug-in. When the free use ends, the enterprise's APP client sends the user's mobile phone number, free IP address and end identification to the message server. Alternatively, when the use ends, the start time and the end time may be sent to the message server together.

The server side may be a server in a mobile network, or may also be a server in a wireless communication network. Specifically, the server side may be a cluster composed of multiple servers. That is to say, through this solution, in addition to reducing or exempting the traffic generated in the packet domain, the user can also process the wlan network provided by the operator, thereby increasing the scope of use.

It can be seen that, by adopting the above solution, the terminal device detects the operation status of the target file through the first application, and then sends the operation status to the server side, so that the server side performs traffic statistics based on the operation status, and then performs the charging operation according to the traffic obtained by statistics. . In this way, the application in the terminal device can actively initiate traffic statistics, avoiding the use of the packet domain gateway in the network for data packet analysis and processing. Enterprises can flexibly call according to their own business requirements, and do not need to go to the operator to explicitly use it. business rules, simplifying network load and complexity. In addition, subsequent processing is performed by the server side, and processing is performed in non-real time when the user surfs the Internet, thereby reducing the load of the packet domain gateway device.

In addition, since an authentication operation is also performed on operations on the terminal device side, the plug-in is prevented from being illegally used by other users, and the security of traffic statistics is improved.

When the free use ends, the enterprise's APP client sends the user's mobile phone number, free IP address and end identification to the message server. Alternatively, when the use ends, the start time and the end time may be sent to the message server together.

The server side may be a server in a mobile network, or may also be a server in a wireless communication network. Specifically, the server side may be a cluster composed of multiple servers.

The billing module server 53 is configured to collect statistics on the traffic generated by the operation of the terminal device on the target file according to the operation situation information, and perform traffic fee processing based on the traffic results obtained by the statistics.

Here, the terminal device may be a mobile terminal, a tablet computer, or other devices.

The first application may be a client APP issued by an enterprise.

The obtaining of the target file from the server side based on the first application may be that after the first application is opened, the first application is connected to the server of the network, and the target file required by the user is obtained from the server. For example, when connecting to the network through a video application, you can use the video application to search from the network side to see if there is a video you want to watch online, and if you find a video, you can obtain the video stream of the video from the server.

Further, the first application may be provided with a plug-in of the first type, the plug-in may be provided by the operator to the enterprise that subscribes to the directional traffic, and may be packaged into the client application of the enterprise. Enterprises can flexibly design business processes according to their own application requirements, and the plug-in should be called for free links for users. The plug-in mainly implements two main functions: the first is the authentication function, and the second is the message sending function.

The authentication function is used to perform authentication on the authentication server when running the first application, such as an enterprise APP client, to check the validity of the enterprise corresponding to the plug-in, so as to prevent the plug-in from being used illegally.

The system also includes:

An authentication server 54, configured to authenticate the operation of the first type of plug-in according to the authentication request, and send an authentication result to the terminal device;

Correspondingly, the terminal device 51 is further configured to run the first type of plug-in in the first application; obtain the Internet Protocol address, user ID and authentication password of the terminal device through the first type of plug-in; An authentication request is generated based on the internet protocol address, user identifier and authentication password of the terminal device; and the authentication request is sent to the server side.

For example, the authentication server is specifically used to provide an authentication function when a plug-in is used. Guarantee the legitimacy of the APP client calling the plug-in of the enterprise that subscribes to directional traffic. When the APP calls the plug-in for authentication, submit the IP address, user name, password and other authentication information for record to ensure the legality of using the plug-in and prevent it from being stolen by others.

That is to say, the message receiving server receives the user number, the free IP address and the start and end identifiers sent by the plug-in after being authenticated by the authentication server. After the message server obtains the above information, it adds the identifier of the directional traffic enterprise, and fills in the time information on the server side. Send the message content to the accounting module processing server for subsequent processing.

The system also includes:

a packet domain gateway device 55, configured to provide the charging module server with all traffic information of the terminal device within a specified period of time;

Correspondingly, the billing module server 53 is specifically configured to acquire all the traffic information of the terminal device within a specified time period from the gateway device in the packet domain, and, according to the operation situation information reported by the terminal device, The terminal device collects statistics on the traffic generated by the operation of the target file, and determines the traffic cost of the terminal device within a specified period of time based on the traffic results obtained by the statistics and all traffic information of the terminal device.

Among them, the gateway device of the packet domain does not need to do any modification and configuration, and is only responsible for generating the traffic bills generated by the user through the packet domain.

Correspondingly, the billing module server obtains all the bill records of the user surfing the Internet from the packet domain gateway device, and processes it according to a single user. If the user has a traffic reduction message sent by the message server, the billing server calculates the traffic as 0. Users are no longer charged. Other traffic at this time point is calculated according to the traffic rate subscribed by the user. For the reduced or exempted traffic, the corresponding enterprises will be charged according to the summary statistics of the enterprises that subscribe to the directional traffic.

It can be seen that, by adopting the above solution, the terminal device detects the operation status of the target file through the first application, and then sends the operation status to the server side, so that the server side performs traffic statistics based on the operation status, and then performs the charging operation according to the traffic obtained by statistics. . In this way, the application in the terminal device can actively initiate traffic statistics, avoiding the use of the packet domain gateway in the network for data packet analysis and processing. Enterprises can flexibly call according to their own business requirements, and do not need to go to the operator to explicitly use it. business rules, simplifying network load and complexity. In addition, subsequent processing is performed by the server side, and processing is performed in non-real time when the user surfs the Internet, thereby reducing the load of the packet domain gateway device.
