Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the 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.
The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims, as well as in the drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are, for example, capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a charging method for a teleconference according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, a user 101 participating in the teleconference is connected to a conference bridge 103 through a telephone relay 102 to communicate. The conference call billing method is deployed independently in the form of the billing engine 104, and exists in the form of middleware in the system. The charging engine comprises a monitoring unit, a charge calculating unit, a fee deducting unit and a cache unit, wherein the cache unit is used for respectively obtaining the available charge amount of the paying party of the cache conference of the participants and the participation charge rate table of the participants from the balance of the paying party and the participation charge rate table of the participants stored in the data persistence layer 105 of the BOSS (Business Operation Support System) and caching the balance. The participation rates of different user participation modes are stored in the participation rate table of the participants.
The monitoring unit is used for monitoring the broadcast information of the personnel who join in the conference or quit the conference, which is sent by the conference bridge port, and the cost calculation unit is used for calculating the conference participation cost of the personnel who join in the conference, updating the available cost limit in the cache unit and judging whether to disconnect the line according to the available limit. When the conference is finished, the fee deducting unit deducts fees for the conference paying party, updates the available fee limit after the fee deduction is finished into the cache, and finally updates the balance of the data persistence layer into the available fee limit after the fee deduction is finished.
The monitoring unit is communicated with the conference bridge in a TCP mode, monitors the broadcast message of a port of the conference bridge in real time, and checks whether conference personnel attend or quit the conference. And the data persistence layer is communicated with a data persistence layer of a BOSS (Business Operation Support System) in an HTTP mode, and the data persistence layer stores the balance of a paying party of the conference and a conference participation rate table of participants. The participation rate table contains the actual rate and the corresponding rate code. The actual tariff may be converted to a formatted tariff code according to pre-stored conversion rules.
On the data flow, the charging engine and the conference bridge port are bidirectional data flows, and the conference joining or conference returning messages are monitored and received. And when the disconnection condition is met, sending a disconnection instruction to the conference bridge for disconnection. The billing engine and the data persistence layer of the BOSS system are also bidirectional data streams, the BOSS system can synchronize the available charge limit of the enterprise to the billing engine, and the billing engine can also set the final residual charge as balance to synchronize to the BOSS system when the conference is finished.
In addition, the participation rates of different user participation modes are stored in the system database after being signed with the paying-side enterprise in advance. However, the database storage is hard disk data storage, and if the enterprise rates need to be read by the hard disk first and then processed in the real-time charging process, the time consumption is long, and the starting time of the real-time charging is increased. Therefore, in order to improve the start time of real-time charging, the enterprise tariff table is directly stored by a cache (memory table), and when the enterprise tariff table changes, the enterprise tariff table is also synchronized to the cache in real time.
After the scheme is adopted, when an enterprise starts a teleconference, the tariff table of the enterprise already exists in the memory, and the data does not need to be read by a hard disk. The tariff sequence may also be formatted and converted to a format that can be read directly. When the billing engine needs the rate data, the rate table data formatted in sequence can be directly read from the memory, so that the data reading time is reduced, and the minimum time interval between the starting time of the billing engine and the starting time of the teleconference is 100 milliseconds.
As shown in fig. 2, a schematic flowchart of a charging method for a teleconference according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where an execution main body of the method is the charging engine 104 in fig. 1, and a specific flow may include:
s201, monitoring the broadcast message of the conference bridge port.
Specifically, the teleconference implemented by the conference bridge exposes a specific port to the billing engine through a program embedded in the board card. The monitoring unit in the billing engine monitors the broadcast message of the participant for meeting or quitting by monitoring the port.
S202, when the broadcast message that the conference bridge port sends the participants to join the conference is monitored, the participant information of the participants is obtained, and a participant information set is obtained, wherein the participant information of each participant in the participant information set carries the participant rate of the participant.
Specifically, the conference bridge port monitoring unit is realized by multiple threads and a thread pool. When the monitoring unit monitors the broadcast message of personnel joining the conference, the thread is started to carry out charging, and when the whole conference bridge has large concurrent personnel joining the conference, the charging engine acquires a new thread from the thread pool to process, so as to ensure the processing capacity of the personnel during the concurrent process.
Two situations may be specifically included for a person joining a conference. The first is that a person joins the conference just at the start of the conference. The second method is that when the conference is in an on-going state, a person temporarily joins the conference. For the first type, the conference information of each participant who joins simultaneously is respectively obtained to obtain a conference information set. And for the second type, the conference information of the newly added participant is added to the conference information set.
The conference rate of the participants is related to the conference mode of the participants, and the paying party of the conference determines the charging condition of different conference modes in advance with the conference bridge operator and stores the charging condition in the data persistence layer of the BOSS system. Before the conference begins, the BOSS system gives the participation fee table of the synchronous participants to the cache of the billing engine.
After the meeting information of the participants is obtained, the meeting information comprises identification information of the participants and meeting rates corresponding to the participants, a new meeting personnel array is created, and the identification information of the participants and the meeting rates corresponding to the participants are added into the array.
In addition, the rate codes in the participation rate table are added into an array, and the specific data structure of the rate codes can be as follows:
class FeeCode
{
// rate code, currently 1000 are reserved, starting from 1001, such as: 1001, 1002
int feeCode；
// code recognition rules, character strings.
// for example: an identification rule string of domestic 400 access, 400 x;
// such as a home local dropped call identification string (enumerating all access number prefixes currently provided both home and abroad): 817, 6077, 276;
v/say the us 400 access identification string (enumerating the current international supported access number prefix): 40012211
// such as the foreign and domestic call identification string: 130, 013, 131, 132, 133, 155, 015, 156, 185, 186, 018, 017, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 147, 014, 150, 151, 152, 157, 158, 159, 182, 187, 188, 133, 153, 189, 180, 010, 021, 022, 023, 031, 035, 047, 048, 024, 041, 042, 043, 044, 045, 025, 051, 052, 055, 056, 057, 058, 059, 079, 070, 053, 063, 056, 054, 037, 039, 027, 072, 071, 073, 074, 020, 076, 075, 066, 077, 089, 080, 028, 083, 081, 082, 085, 087, 089, 029, 091, 093, 094, 095, 096, 097, 098, 099, 090, 040, 034, 033, 046, 069, 088, 181, 183, 184.

}
and S203, determining the time-interval participation cost of the participants in the preset time interval according to the participation rate of the participants every other preset time interval to obtain a time-interval participation cost set.
Specifically, the scheme adopts a mode of determining the participation cost in real time to charge, and determines the participation cost of the participants in the time period every other preset time period. Wherein the preset time period can be 30s-90 s. In an embodiment of the present solution, the preset time period is 60 s. After every 60s, the participation fee of the participant in the 60s period is determined. The session participation fee can be the participation time of the participants in the session, namely 60s, at the participation rate corresponding to the participation mode of the participants. If some participants quit the meeting midway, the participating time of the participants is calculated to be 60s in the time period. At the beginning of the next time period, the participants who exit the conference are not charged any more.
S204, when the broadcast message of meeting end sent by the meeting bridge port is monitored, the final meeting participation cost of the teleconference is determined according to the time-interval meeting participation cost with the time-interval meeting participation cost concentration.
When the conference is finished, the manager of the conference sends a prompt for finishing the conference, and when the conference bridge monitors the prompt for finishing the conference, the manager of the conference sends a broadcast message for finishing the conference. When the charging engine monitors the broadcast message of meeting end sent by the meeting bridge port, a disconnecting instruction is sent to the meeting bridge, the communication line connected to the meeting bridge by the user through the telephone relay is disconnected, and the meeting is ended. The disconnecting instruction of the conference bridge is a formatted character string, and in order to reduce the splicing overhead during the processing of the charging unit, the system maps the formatted character string instruction into a 16-system integer. And then the final conference participation cost of the teleconference can be determined according to the conference participation cost in the time interval with the concentrated conference participation cost.
And S205, deducting the amount corresponding to the final conference participation fee from a payment account provided by a payer of the conference.
Specifically, the scheme adopts the principle of first use and then deduction. The payers of the conference may provide available payment accounts before the conference begins. After the final conference participation fee of the conference is determined, the amount corresponding to the final conference participation fee is directly deducted from the payment account provided by the payment party.
After the scheme is adopted, the participation cost of the participants can be determined in real time, and the deduction is finished when the conference is finished, so that the charging mode is flexible and accurate, and the requirements of users can be met.
Based on the method of fig. 2, the present specification also provides some specific embodiments of the method, which are described below.
In a specific embodiment, after obtaining the participation information of the participant and obtaining the participation information set when monitoring that the broadcast message that the conference bridge port sends a participant to join the conference is sent, the method further includes:
and when monitoring that the conference bridge port sends a broadcast message that a first participant exits the conference, removing the participation information of the first participant from the participation information set.
Specifically, during the meeting, a person may exit the meeting midway. A separate thread may be initiated to handle the human fallback event. And removing the participation information of the refugee from the participation information set. Specifically, the identification information of the refugee may be removed from the conference array and the exit time of the refugee may be recorded. And the participant leaves to only do the removal operation, and the detailed information of the participant is recorded. Finally, if the participants leave the conference, the following results will be obtained: the time of the participant in the conference, the charge amount, the rate code and the detailed information of the participant. In addition, when some participant exits the conference midway, in the current time period, the participant duration of the participant is defaulted as the end of the current time period. At the beginning of the next time period, the participants who exit the conference are not charged any more.
In a specific embodiment, the acquiring the conference participation information of the participant when the broadcast message that the participant participates in the conference is monitored includes:
and when the broadcast message that people join the conference is monitored, judging whether the paying party of the conference participates in other conferences or not, and obtaining a first judgment result.
And if the first judgment result shows that the paying party of the conference does not participate in other conferences, acquiring a first available charge amount of the paying party of the conference from a cache.
The attribute of the first available cost limit is set as a global variable, the setting of the global variable can not be limited in a conference, and the first available cost limit can also be directly used in other conferences in which the paying party is currently in progress.
And acquiring the identification information of the participants.
And determining the participation mode of the participant according to the identification information of the participant.
And determining the participation rate of the participants according to the participation mode of the participants.
And correspondingly storing the identification information of the participants and the participation rates of the participants. Wherein, the storage can be in the form of an array.
In one embodiment, after determining the final conference participation cost of the teleconference according to the conference participation cost in the time period conference participation cost set when the broadcast message of the conference end is monitored, the method further includes:
and determining a second available cost amount according to the first available cost amount and the final participation cost.
And updating the second available expense quota to the cache.
Specifically, after the conference is finished, fee deduction is carried out according to the determined final conference participation fee and the first available amount. The first available charge limit is the initial amount of the paying party of the conference, and then the second available charge limit is determined according to the final participation fee consumed by the conference, namely the residual amount of the paying party of the conference after deducting the fee. And updating the residual amount of the paying party of the conference into a cache, and updating the balance of the paying party of the data persistence layer of the BOSS into a second available charge limit, namely the residual amount of the paying party of the conference after deduction.
In one embodiment, the method may comprise: and if the first judgment result shows that the paying party of the conference participates in other conferences, acquiring a first available cost limit with the attribute as a global variable.
When the broadcast message of meeting end is monitored, after the final meeting participation cost of the teleconference is determined according to the time period meeting participation cost in the time period meeting participation cost set, the method further comprises the following steps:
and when monitoring the broadcast message of the other conferences in which the payer participates, determining the first conference fee of the other conferences in which the payer participates. And determining a third available cost line according to the first available cost line, the final participation cost and the first conference cost. Updating the third available cost amount to the cache.
Specifically, the cost calculation unit only focuses on cost calculation and multi-thread work, and allocates one cost calculation thread for each current held conference. When a plurality of conferences are simultaneously carried out, the conference participation cost of each conference is respectively determined. When the conference is finished, the fees to be deducted are written into a deduction queue, then the fees corresponding to the conference are deducted in sequence according to the principle of entering into the first execution to obtain a third available fee amount, then the third available fee amount is updated into a cache, and then the balance of the paying party of the data persistence layer of the BOSS is updated to the third available fee amount, namely the residual amount of the paying party after deducting the fees of a plurality of conferences.
The fee deduction process can be realized by adopting a fee deduction queue, the fee deduction queue is actually a persistent data table stored on a hard disk, the data is written by adopting an advanced first execution rule, the problem of amount synchronization can be solved, and the problem of fee deduction is sent by a single client and multiple conferences. After each conference is finished, the charging unit writes the collected deduction data of the conference into a queue, an external system special for processing deduction processes the queue, and the processing result is updated to the balance of the paying party of the BOSS database.
In a specific embodiment, the determining, every preset time period, the time-period participation fee of the participant within the preset time period according to the participation rate of the participant to obtain a time-period participation fee set includes:
and controlling the timer to start timing to obtain a first timing duration.
And when the first timing duration reaches a preset duration, determining the conference participation cost in the first timing duration according to the conference participation rate of the participants to obtain the time-interval conference participation cost.
And clearing the timer, and re-executing the control timer to start timing to obtain a first timing duration and the subsequent steps to obtain a time interval participation expense set.
Specifically, when the time interval participation charge of each time interval is calculated, one participant is taken as the minimum calculation unit, a plurality of participants are provided, the cost of each participant of the current conference is determined at the beginning of each time interval, and the participation cost of all the participants in the time interval is determined, namely the time interval participation cost corresponding to the time interval.
The driving time slice is a driver of the expense calculating unit, and actually, a daemon thread is used for automatically waking up or starting the expense calculating unit at certain intervals. This interval can be configured and is the trigger point for charging. In addition, the principle of deducting after the time slice is adopted in the scheme, and the money of the previous time slice is deducted by taking all current conference states as the reference at the moment when the time slice driving starts. This principle will lose a fraction of the traffic minutes, but the user experience is better within the control. If the teleconference operator wants to control the traffic minutes, the smaller the number is, the better the time slice interval can be adjusted, and the smaller the time slice interval is, the smaller the traffic loss is.
In one embodiment, when a broadcast message indicating that a conference is ended is monitored, determining a final conference participation cost of the teleconference according to the conference participation cost in the time period participation cost set includes:
and when the broadcast message of meeting end is monitored, summing up the meeting participation fees of the time periods with the concentrated meeting participation fees to obtain the final meeting participation fee.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, a flowchart of a charging method for a teleconference according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include, before step 203:
s301, determining the pre-estimated time period participation cost of the participants according to the time length of the preset time period and the participation rate of the participants.
S302, judging whether the difference value between the first available cost limit and the estimated time interval participation cost is smaller than a first preset threshold value or not, and obtaining a second judgment result.
And S303, if the second judgment result shows that the difference value between the first available cost limit and the conference participation cost in the first pre-estimated time period is smaller than the first preset threshold value, terminating the conference.
Specifically, the first available cost amount is updated in real time after the participation cost of the period of the just ended time period is determined. And predicting the participation cost in the next time period, judging whether the updated first available cost limit reaches the disconnection condition, and if so, sending a disconnection instruction to a specific port of the conference bridge. The disconnecting condition may be whether a difference between the first available cost amount and the estimated participation cost in the next time period is smaller than a preset first threshold. The first threshold value may be negotiated by the conference payer and the conference bridge operator according to actual situations. May be 0-10 membered.
Based on the same idea, the embodiment of the present specification further provides a device corresponding to the above method, as shown in fig. 4.
As shown in fig. 4, a schematic structural diagram of a charging apparatus for a teleconference according to an embodiment of the present invention may include:
