Detailed Description
The following describes specific embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating and illustrating the application, are not intended to limit the application.
The rapid development of internet technology and terminal technology has had a profound impact on people's lifestyle. Particularly, after entering the 5G age, people hope to access the Internet anytime and anywhere to acquire network information and enjoy network services. In this process, the terminal needs to rely on the network service provided by the operator, and the network service is obtained by the user by purchasing traffic from the operator. Typically, a user obtains traffic from an operator by ordering packages to enjoy network services. Currently, operators usually inform users that the residual flow is insufficient through short message reminding and other modes when the flow in the package is used up. However, the user may ignore the SMS alert for a number of reasons, resulting in traffic that exceeds the package. And the flow rate beyond the package is generally high, so that the user needs to pay a lot of extra cost, thereby resulting in poor use experience of the user. In view of this, the present application provides a new traffic management method and apparatus, when determining that there is no remaining traffic at the terminal, the network of the terminal is directly redirected to the traffic management node of the operator, so as to prevent the traffic usage of the user from exceeding the package range, and effectively avoid the user from paying excessive traffic cost, thereby improving the use experience of the user.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a traffic management scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, in this traffic management scenario, a role body includes an operator traffic management system, a terminal, and an available network. Wherein the operator traffic management system is a system for managing traffic of users, which is built and managed for an operator, and which is abstracted as an operator traffic management node in the foregoing description; the terminal is a personal terminal supporting the flow internet function, and the terminal can establish connection with an available network by using the flow provided by an operator so as to enjoy network services; the available network is a network that can provide a terminal with functions of communication, traffic, and the like. Further, the terminal specifically includes a SIM card (Subscriber Identification Module, a subscriber identity card), a mobile network interface, and a traffic management client, where the SIM card is an identity card equipped by an operator for the terminal; the mobile network interface is a network interface for providing network sending and receiving functions for application programs installed in the terminal; the traffic management client is a client installed at a terminal and used for realizing user traffic management, and is abstracted into a client traffic management node in the foregoing description, and the traffic management client can interact with an operator traffic management system through the terminal. In actual use, the flow management client can be in the form of application software and the like, and can be preloaded in an operator customized terminal by an operator or downloaded and installed by a user.
It will be appreciated that the operator traffic management system, terminals and available networks also include other components (not shown in fig. 1) which are not described in detail herein.
Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a traffic management method according to a first embodiment of the present application, which is applicable to a client traffic management node. As shown in fig. 2, the traffic management method may include the steps of:
step S101, acquiring traffic status information of the terminal from the operator traffic management node.
The traffic state information of the terminal comprises information such as the number of used traffic and the number of residual traffic of the terminal.
In one embodiment, the current client traffic management node obtains the identity of the terminal from the SIM card of the terminal through the mobile network interface of the terminal, and generates a first request message (the content of the first request message may be a login request or a traffic query request specifically) based on the identity of the terminal and signature information of the current client traffic management node, and sends the first request message to the operator traffic management node. The method comprises the steps that an operator flow management node receives a first request message, verifies the identification of a terminal in the first request message and signature information of a client flow management node, and returns a first feedback message to the client flow management node according to a preset period after the identification and the signature information of the terminal pass the verification, wherein the first feedback message comprises flow state information of the terminal. The signature information of the current client flow management node is the signature information set for the corresponding development node, and an operator can judge whether the client flow management node is a legal node issued by the operator through the signature information of the client flow management node.
The identities of the terminals include IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity ), SUPI (Subscription Permanent Identifier, permanent identity of the user), GPSI (Generic Public Subscription Identifier, universal public user identity), and other identities that can distinguish terminals. Taking IMSI as an example, the client flow management node directly reads the IMSI of the terminal from the SIM card of the terminal through the mobile network interface, and can effectively prevent other application software or application programs from tampering or impersonating the terminal IMSI, thereby ensuring that the obtained terminal IMSI is real and effective.
It should be noted that, in addition to the embodiment provided in this embodiment for acquiring the traffic state information of the terminal from the traffic management node of the operator, other embodiments may also be used for acquiring the traffic state information of the terminal from the traffic management node of the operator. Of course, the traffic state information of the terminal may also be obtained from other authorities, for example, from other service systems of the operator.
Step S102, judging whether the terminal has residual flow according to the flow state information.
In one embodiment, the traffic status information of the terminal includes the number of traffic already used by the terminal, the number of remaining traffic. And when the number of the residual flows is greater than zero, judging that the terminal has residual flows, and when the number of the residual flows is equal to zero, judging that the terminal has no residual flows.
It will be appreciated that in practice, to prevent the terminal from exceeding the traffic usage in the package, a traffic alert threshold may be preset, and as long as the amount of remaining traffic is less than or equal to the traffic alert threshold, the terminal is considered to be at risk of exceeding the package traffic, so that the network of the terminal is redirected to the operator management node (or to other preset nodes), and an alert message is sent to the terminal.
And step S103, when judging that the terminal has no residual traffic according to the traffic state information, redirecting the network of the terminal to the operator traffic management node, and when the terminal receives the network request, sending the network request to the operator traffic management node so as to enable the operator traffic management node to return a preset page to the terminal.
The preset page returned by the operator flow management node to the terminal may be a page containing a flow exhaustion reminding message, or may be a page including a flow renewing service entrance.
In one embodiment, the client flow management node generates first access network configuration information according to network configuration information of the operator flow management node, generates a first network redirection request based on the first access network configuration information, and then sends the first network redirection request to a mobile network interface of the terminal. At this time, the network configuration information of the mobile network interface is the configuration information corresponding to the available network, after the mobile network interface receives the first network redirection request, the mobile network interface obtains the first access network configuration information according to the first network redirection request, and then the first access network configuration information covers the network configuration information corresponding to the current available network, thereby redirecting the network of the terminal to the operator flow management node. After the mobile network interface completes the network redirection of the terminal, a first network redirection feedback message is returned to the client flow management node. The client traffic management node receives the first network redirection feedback message and knows that the network of the terminal has been redirected to the operator traffic management node. At this time, when the application software in the terminal initiates the network connection request, the mobile network interface directly forwards the network request to the operator flow management node, and after the operator flow management node receives the network request, the operator flow management node returns a preset page to the terminal, and displays the preset page in the application software sending the network connection request, so that the user knows that the terminal has no residual flow.
For example, the network configuration information of the terminal includes APN (Access Point Name ) configuration information. When the user normally uses the available network, the APN configuration information of the terminal is shown in table 1.
Table 1 available network corresponding APN configuration information
Wherein:
an APN carrier indicates the name of an APN.
In table 1, the value of the ap carrier is "5G internet connection (the first com-operator)", which indicates that the terminal uses the 5G internet connection service provided by the first com-operator.
Carrier_id represents APN network identity.
In Table 1, the carrier_id has a value of "ID1", which represents that the APN network identifier corresponding to the first com-operator is ID1.
Mcc is a mobile country code (3 bit).
mcc is used to identify the COUNTRY in which the user is located, and is given a value of "COUNTRY1" in table 1, indicating that the mobile COUNTRY code of the COUNTRY in which the terminal is located is COUNTRY1.
Mnc is a mobile network code (2-3 bits).
mnc is used to identify the home mobile communication NETWORK of the user, and mnc in table 1 is given as "NETWORK1", which indicates that the mobile communication NETWORK code to which the terminal belongs is NETWORK1.
APN denotes APN network identity.
APN in table 1 has a value of "5gnet", which indicates that the APN network used by the terminal is a 5gnet network.
Type represents access point type.
In table 1, the type value is "default", which indicates that the access point type of the terminal is a default type.
When the client flow management node judges that the terminal does not have residual flow according to the flow state information, the client flow management node generates APN configuration information corresponding to the operator flow management node, and the APN configuration information corresponding to the operator flow management node is shown in table 2.
Table 2 operator flow management node corresponds to APN configuration information
Wherein:
proxy represents the address of the proxy server.
In table 2, the proxy has a value of "ADD1", which indicates that the address corresponding to the client traffic management node is ADD1.
Port represents the port number of the proxy server.
In table 2, the value of Port is "P1", which indicates that the Port number corresponding to the client traffic management node is P1.
The other parameters in table 2 have the same meanings as the corresponding parameters in table 1, and are not described here again.
The operator flow management node generates a first network redirection request according to the APN configuration information shown in table 2, and then sends the first network redirection request to the mobile network interface of the terminal. After the mobile network interface receives the first network redirection request, the APN configuration information corresponding to the APN configuration information of the operator flow management node is directly covered on the APN configuration information of the original available network, so that the network of the terminal is redirected to the operator flow management node.
It should be noted that, the APN configuration information may further include other parameters (default in table 1 and table 2), for example, the APN configuration information further includes protocols (indicating supported protocols). Moreover, in general, the available network corresponding APN configuration information shown in table 1 is information that can be seen by the user at the terminal configuration interface, and the user can modify the available network corresponding APN configuration information in the authority, while the operator flow management node corresponding APN configuration information shown in table 2 is not displayed at the terminal configuration interface, or does not receive the modification of the terminal user.
It should be noted that, when the terminal has no residual traffic, the network of the terminal may be redirected to other nodes besides the operator traffic management node, so long as the terminal is prevented from continuing to access the network to consume traffic.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a traffic management method according to a second embodiment of the present application, which is applicable to a client traffic management node, and is basically the same as the first embodiment of the present application, except that: the no remaining traffic alert message is also sent to the terminal after redirecting the terminal network to the operator traffic management node. As shown in fig. 3, the flow management method may include the steps of:
step S201, acquiring traffic status information of the terminal from the operator traffic management node.
Step S201 in the present embodiment is the same as step S101 in the first embodiment of the present application, and will not be described here again.
Step S202, judging whether the terminal has residual flow according to the flow state information.
Step S202 in the present embodiment is the same as the content of step S102 in the first embodiment of the present application, and will not be described here again.
In step S203, when it is determined that the terminal has no remaining traffic according to the traffic status information, the network of the terminal is redirected to the operator traffic management node, so that when the terminal receives the network request, the network request is sent to the operator traffic management node, so that the operator traffic management node returns a preset page to the terminal.
Step S203 in the present embodiment is the same as step S103 in the first embodiment of the present application, and will not be described herein.
And step S204, sending a residual flow-free reminding message to the terminal.
In order to prevent the application software sending the network connection request from failing to display a preset page returned by the traffic management node of the operator, so that a user cannot know that the terminal has no residual traffic, the mobile network interface returns a first network redirection feedback message to the traffic management node of the client after the redirection of the terminal network is completed, and the traffic management node of the client sends a residual traffic-free reminding message to the terminal after receiving the first network redirection feedback message so as to further remind the user that the terminal has no residual traffic.
In one embodiment, a client traffic management node receives a first network redirection feedback message, knows that the network of the terminal has been redirected to an operator traffic management node, and sends a no remaining traffic alert message to the terminal.
Fig. 4 is a flow chart of a traffic management method according to a third embodiment of the present application, which is applicable to a client traffic management node, and is basically the same as the second embodiment of the present application, except that: after the reminder message of no remaining traffic is sent to the terminal, if the terminal renews traffic, the terminal network is redirected to the available network. As shown in fig. 4, the flow management method may include the steps of:
step S301, acquiring traffic status information of a terminal from an operator traffic management node.
Step S302, judging whether the terminal has residual flow according to the flow state information.
Step S303, when judging that the terminal has no residual traffic according to the traffic state information, redirecting the network of the terminal to the operator traffic management node, and when the terminal receives the network request, sending the network request to the operator traffic management node so that the operator traffic management node returns a preset page to the terminal.
And step S304, sending a residual flow-free reminding message to the terminal.
The contents of step S301 to step S304 in the present embodiment are the same as those of step S201 to step S204 in the second embodiment of the present application, and are not described here again.
Step S305, receiving a terminal renewing flow message sent by the operator flow management node.
The terminal renewing flow message is a message sent to the current client flow management node after the operator flow management node renews the flow for the terminal. Specifically, after the terminal receives the no-remaining-flow reminding message, the user knows that no remaining flow is available in the current package, and in practice, the user often has network use requirements, at this time, the user can renew the flow from the operator to meet the network use requirements.
In one embodiment, the terminal receives the no-remaining-traffic alert message, the user knows that there is no remaining traffic, but still needs to use the network, the user sends a renewing traffic request message to the operator through the terminal, the operator receives and responds to the renewing traffic request message to renew traffic for the terminal, and after renewing traffic for the terminal, the user sends the renewing traffic message to the client traffic management node through the operator traffic management node. And the client flow management node receives the terminal renewing flow message and acquires that the terminal has succeeded in renewing the flow.
Step S306, the network of the terminal is redirected to the available network.
When the terminal has no residual traffic, the client-side traffic management node redirects the network of the terminal to the operator traffic management node; after the client traffic management node learns the terminal renewing traffic, the network of the terminal needs to be redirected to the available network so as to enable the terminal to recover the normal network connection function.
In one embodiment, the client flow management node generates second access network configuration information from network configuration information of the available networks, generates a second network redirection request based on the second access network configuration information, and sends the second network redirection request to the mobile network interface. The mobile network interface receives a second network redirection request, acquires second access network configuration information from the second network redirection request, and modifies the current network configuration information of the mobile network interface into the second access network configuration information, thereby redirecting the network of the terminal to an available network.
It should be noted that, in other embodiments, after the mobile network interface receives the second network redirection request, the current network configuration information (the current network configuration information is the first network configuration information, and the network is directed to the operator traffic management node) of the terminal may be directly deleted, and the original network configuration information (the original network configuration information is the second network configuration information, and the network is directed to the available network) is recovered, so that the terminal is redirected to the available network.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a traffic management method according to a fourth embodiment of the present application, which is applicable to a client traffic management node, and is basically the same as the first embodiment of the present application, except that: after redirecting the terminal network to the operator traffic management node, when a preset traffic initialization computation time node is reached, redirecting the network of the terminal to an available network. As shown in fig. 5, the flow management method may include the steps of:
step S401, acquiring traffic state information of a terminal from an operator traffic management node.
Step S402, judging whether the terminal has residual flow according to the flow state information.
Step S403, when judging that the terminal has no residual flow according to the flow state information, redirecting the network of the terminal to the operator flow management node, and when the terminal receives the network request, sending the network request to the operator flow management node so that the operator flow management node returns a preset page to the terminal.
The contents of step S401 to step S403 in the present embodiment are the same as those of step S101 to step S103 in the first embodiment of the present application, and are not described here again.
Step S404, when reaching the preset traffic initialization computation time node, the network of the terminal is redirected to the available network.
The preset traffic initialization calculation time node is a time node for recalculating the traffic usage amount of the terminal, and is generally zero point of the first day of each month. Specifically, when the terminal has no residual traffic and the user has no renewing traffic, when entering a preset traffic initialization calculation time node, the operator starts to count traffic usage conditions of the terminal again, and the client traffic management node redirects the network of the terminal to an available network, so that the terminal resumes connection with the available network.
The redirection of the network of the terminal to the available network by the client flow management node is the same as the content of step S306 in the third embodiment of the present application, and will not be described herein.
The above steps of the methods are divided, for clarity of description, and may be combined into one step or split into multiple steps when implemented, so long as they include the same logic relationship, and they are all within the protection scope of this patent; it is within the scope of this patent to add insignificant modifications to the algorithm or flow or introduce insignificant designs, but not to alter the core design of its algorithm and flow.
Fig. 6 is a functional block diagram of a flow management device according to a fifth embodiment of the present application, which is applicable to a client flow management node. As shown in fig. 6, the flow management device includes: an acquisition module 501, a judgment module 502 and a redirection module 503.
An obtaining module 501 is configured to obtain traffic status information of a terminal from an operator traffic management node.

The method comprises the steps that an operator flow management node receives a first request message, verifies the identification of a terminal in the first request message and signature information of a client flow management node, and after the identification and signature information of the terminal pass the verification, the operator flow management node returns a first feedback message to the client flow management node according to a preset period, wherein the first feedback message comprises flow state information of the terminal, the signature information of the current client flow management node is signature information set for the corresponding development node, and an operator can judge whether the client flow management node is a legal node issued by the operator through the signature information of the client flow management node. The client flow management node receives the first feedback message and obtains the flow status information of the terminal through the obtaining module 501.
And the judging module 502 is configured to judge whether the terminal has residual traffic according to the traffic status information.
In one embodiment, the traffic status information of the terminal includes the number of traffic already used by the terminal, the number of remaining traffic. When the number of the residual flows is greater than zero, the client flow management node judges that the terminal has residual flows through the judging module 502, and when the number of the residual flows is equal to zero, the client flow management node judges that the terminal has no residual flows through the judging module 502.
And the redirection module 503 is configured to redirect, when it is determined that the terminal has no remaining traffic according to the traffic status information, the network of the terminal to the operator traffic management node, so that when the terminal receives the network request, the network request is sent to the operator traffic management node, so that the operator traffic management node returns a preset page to the terminal.
In one embodiment, the client flow management node generates first access network configuration information according to the network configuration information of the operator flow management node, generates a first network redirection request based on the first access network configuration information through the redirection module 503, and then sends the first network redirection request to the mobile network interface of the terminal. At this time, the network configuration information of the mobile network interface is the configuration information corresponding to the available network, after the mobile network interface receives the first network redirection request, the mobile network interface obtains the first access network configuration information according to the first network redirection request, and then the first access network configuration information covers the network configuration information corresponding to the current available network, thereby redirecting the network of the terminal to the operator flow management node. After the mobile network interface completes the network redirection of the terminal, a first network redirection feedback message is returned to the client flow management node. The client traffic management node receives the first network redirection feedback message and knows that the network of the terminal has been redirected to the operator traffic management node. At this time, when the application software in the terminal initiates the network connection request, the mobile network interface directly forwards the network request to the operator flow management node, and after the operator flow management node receives the network request, the operator flow management node returns a preset page to the terminal, and displays the preset page in the application software sending the network connection request, so that the user knows that the terminal has no residual flow.
