Detailed Description
The following describes in detail specific embodiments of a charging and settlement method, a charging apparatus, a settlement apparatus, and a distributed system for international roaming communication according to embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method for international roaming communication, which may specifically include, as shown in fig. 1:
s101, generating a communication ticket and bill data according to international roaming communication behaviors of a roaming user;
s102, sending a communication ticket and bill data to one or more operator nodes in a distributed system;
s103, when the communication ticket and the bill data are received, whether one or more operator nodes store the received communication ticket and the bill data in the block chain or not is judged according to a preset rule.
The embodiment of the invention provides a charging method of international roaming communication, which realizes the charging of the international roaming communication by a series of operations of generating a communication ticket and bill data, sending the data to one or more peer operator nodes and storing the data in a block chain when the international roaming communication occurs, so that each operator node in a distributed system can verify the authenticity and the integrity of the communication ticket and the bill data.
In specific implementation, in order to send a communication ticket and billing data to an operator node in a distributed system, step S102 in the charging method for international roaming communication provided in the embodiment of the present invention sends the communication ticket and the billing data to one or more operator nodes in the distributed system, which may specifically include:
and sending the communication ticket and the bill data to one or more operator nodes in the distributed system according to the set time interval.
Such as the communication ticket shown in table 1 and the billing data shown in table 2.
TABLE 1
TABLE 2
Of course, the set time interval may be 10 minutes or 20 minutes, and is not limited herein.
It should be noted that, in the charging method for international roaming communication provided in the embodiment of the present invention, a block chain technical principle is adopted, and a partially decentralized and distributed storage is provided for the communication ticket and the billing data of the user during the international roaming communication.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the main components of the block chain in step S103 in the charging method for international roaming communication provided in the embodiment of the present invention may specifically include:
the consensus mechanism block 10 is used to satisfy a predetermined rule that each node acquires the accounting right through competition, such as: mining algorithms are also known as Proof of workload (Proof of Work, Pow), Proof of rights and interests (Proof of stamp, Pos), Proof of equity authorization mechanism (freed Proof of stamp, DPos), and Pool of authentication (Pool);
the account information block 20 is used for controlling access authorization permission of each operator node in the alliance chain, and data leakage is avoided; the alliance chain can be called an industry block chain, a plurality of preselected nodes are designated as bookkeepers in a certain industry, and a storage block of each block chain is determined by all the preselected nodes; for example: in the communication industry, a plurality of operator nodes are designated as bookkeepers, the storage block of each block chain is determined by the operator nodes with the bookkeeping right, and the operator nodes of non-bookkeepers can only inquire or acquire the communication bill and the bill data of the corresponding block chain, so that data leakage is avoided;
a general account information block 30, which is used for recording all communication behavior information, and the transaction information in each block is the communication ticket and the bill data of the user; for example, the chunk data structure shown in table 3;
TABLE 3
| Data item | Explaining the meaning |
| Version | Block version number |
| Previous block hash | 256-bit HASH value of previous block |
| Vext block hash | 256-bit HASH value of the next block |
| Merkleroot | 256-bit HASH value based on all transactions in one block |
| Time | Time carrier |
| Bits | Current target HASH value in compressed format |
| Confirmations | Confirmation number of data change in block |
| Contents | Changing content |
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networking block 40, also called Peer-to-Peer computer network, for implementing information sharing and interaction among participants in the network; the participants in the peer-to-peer network are both providers and acquirers of resources, services and contents.
In specific implementation, in order to implement storage of a block chain, step S103 in the charging method for international roaming communication according to the embodiment of the present invention determines, according to a preset rule, whether one or more operator nodes store a received communication ticket and billing data in the block chain, as shown in fig. 3, which may specifically include:
s103-1, calculating an encrypted hash function according to a block chain algorithm agreed in advance and sending a calculation result to one or more operator nodes in the distributed system;
s103-2, determining whether one or more operator nodes obtain the accounting right or not according to the received calculation result; if the accounting right is obtained; step S103-3 is executed; if the accounting right is not obtained, the process is quitted;
s103-3, storing the received communication ticket and the bill data in a block chain.
Here, calculating the encrypted hash function in step S103-1 means converting the original data into a string of characters having a specific length, which is called a hash value, as follows:
MD4("″)＝31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0
MD4("a")＝bde52cb31de33e46245e05fbdbd6fb24
MD4("abc")＝a448017aaf21d8525fc10ae87aa6729d
MD4("message digest")＝d9130a8164549fe818874806e1c7014b
MD4("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")＝d79e1c308aa5bbcdeea8ed63df412da9
MD5("″)＝d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
MD5("a")＝0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661
MD5("abc")＝900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72
MD5("message digest")＝f96b697d7cb7938d525a2f31aaf161d0
MD5("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")＝c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b
in addition, as shown in the diagram of the encrypted hash function in fig. 4, the left side is three sets of initial data, which are distinguished by the last word, namely evil, evll, and veil, respectively, and after the hash function is calculated, the three sets of completely different hash values are transformed as shown on the right side, which indicates that any slight change of the initial data will cause the change of the hash value generated by the final calculation; and, which particular hash value an initial data will produce is unpredictable; therefore, the initial data is guaranteed not to be decoded due to the fact that the hash value cannot be predicted, and leakage of the initial data is avoided.
Of course, for the block chain algorithm agreed in advance, the mining algorithm may be adopted, and other algorithms such as Pos, DPos or Pool may also be adopted, which is not limited herein.
In specific implementation, in order to store the received communication ticket and the bill data in the blockchain, step S103-3 in the charging method for international roaming communication provided in the embodiment of the present invention may specifically include:
storing the received communication ticket and bill data in the blockchain in an encrypted hash function mode by calling an Application Program Interface (API) of the corresponding blockchain; fig. 5 shows a storage manner of the communication ticket and the billing data in the blockchain.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for settling international roaming communication, and as shown in fig. 6, the method may specifically include:
s201, determining whether a communication ticket and bill data meet the settlement condition of international roaming communication cost according to the communication ticket and bill data generated by an operator node of an international roaming communication behavior of a roaming user in a distributed system; if the settlement condition is satisfied, executing step S202; if the settlement condition is not met, the process is exited;
s202, sending settlement data to an operator node of a roaming user in a distributed system, wherein the international roaming communication behavior of the roaming user occurs;
s203, receiving a confirmation reply of the operator node in the distributed system to the settlement data;
and S204, transferring the settlement fund of the international roaming communication cost to an operator node in the distributed system.
