Description

Cost management method under a kind of single user a plurality of callings simultaneously

Technical field:

The present invention relates to the cost management method under a kind of single user a plurality of callings simultaneously.

Background technology:

In existing prepayment service of intelligent network (PPC business) and centrex service (WVPN business), traffic performances such as Call Waiting, Three-Way Calling, conference telephone have all been realized on the Signalling exchange.According to existing processing mode, after each intelligent call triggers up, all can be in database inquiring user account number remaining sum, whether satisfy the minimum charge of individual call with the current remaining sum of decision user.But in this manner, if a user account number has a plurality of callings to carry out simultaneously in the same time, the account number remaining sum call of only enough conversing will appear, but all-calls situation about all connecting, even more serious is after the end of calling, and the user balance in the database is deducted repeatedly, the situation that remaining sum is a negative value occurs, lost the function that calling charge monitors in some sense, caused damage to operator.

Signaling process with the Call Waiting in the prepayment service (PPC business) is an example, suppose that user 2 calls out PPC user 1 and intelligent call is set up, this moment, PPC user 1 account balance also remained 10 yuan, under the situation that first calling is carried out, there is user 3 to call out PPC user 1 again, PPC user 1 utilizes call waiting function, connect second intelligent call, first calling simultaneously is in the calling hold mode, through after a while, PPC user 1 finishes second intelligent call, and button goes 6 yuan of the expenses of this time calling out in database, switch to first intelligent call then with user 2, button goes 8 yuan of remaining sums behind the end of calling, and user balance has only 10 yuan like this, has but been gone 14 yuan by button, 4 yuan of user account overdraws have caused loss to operator.

Summary of the invention:

Purpose of the present invention is exactly in order to overcome the above problems, and the cost management method under a kind of single user a plurality of callings simultaneously is provided, and avoids user account the situation of overdraw to occur, thereby reduces the risk loss of operator, makes the expenses management more perfect function.

For achieving the above object, the present invention proposes the cost management method under a kind of single user a plurality of callings simultaneously, comprise the steps: 1) after first calling triggering relevant with user account comes up, call processing module is taken out account balance and be saved in the expenses management module from database, by the total fund of expenses management module unified management user account number; 2) when call processing module needs expense, send the application form for cash advances request to the expenses management module, the expenses management module is to its distribution of fund; 3) in case the user balance in the expenses management module has been applied then refusal account's calling of being correlated with therewith after this.

Owing to adopted above scheme, after the calling triggering comes up, by the total fund of expenses management module unified management user account, the situation of avoiding the user account fund to be overdrawed; Owing to only need on the basis of original architecture, to increase the application form for cash advances link, do not influence original architecture in addition, kept original ripe professional stability, and simple in structure; And can be applied on the miscellaneous service flexibly.

Fig. 2 is the structural framing figure of CDMA (code division multiple access) wireless intelligent network.

Fig. 3 is call processing module of the present invention and expenses management module interaction message schematic diagram.

Embodiment:

Also the present invention is described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings below by specific embodiment.

Being illustrated in figure 1 as is the signaling process schematic diagram of Call Waiting in the pre-payment PPC business of prior art.Signaling message among the figure can be with reference to " the communication industry standard 800MHzCDMA of People's Republic of China (PRC) cell mobile communication systems wireless intelligent network (Wireless Intelligent Network) pre-payment specification requirement ".

Be illustrated in figure 2 as the structural framing figure of cdma wireless intelligent network.It comprises service control point (Service Control Point, SCP), service control point comprise Service Control Unit (Service Control Unit, SCU) and Signaling Access Unit (Signaling AccessUnit, SAU).When this method is applied in the cdma wireless intelligent network, its specific embodiments is as follows: increase an expenses management module on the basis of original existing call processing module of service control point, make it can manage the user's who calls out account balance.After first calling triggering relevant with user account came up, call processing module was taken out account balance and be saved in the internal memory of expenses management module from database, by the total fund of expenses management module unified management user account number; This moment, call processing module was sent the application form for cash advances request to the expenses management module, comprised the parameter that sign is this time called out in the application, and the cost value that needs application, after the expenses management module is received this request, confirm the cost value whether account balance is satisfied the demand and applied for, if satisfy then in message, return the expense of application,, then return account's real balance if do not satisfy.When relevant second of user account therewith call out trigger after, when needing expense, call processing module is sent the application form for cash advances request to the expenses management module, the expenses management module is returned result by above-mentioned call treatment mode.The rest may be inferred, constantly trigger as a plurality of callings, the account balance of preserving in the expenses management module will constantly reduce, user balance in the expenses management module is applied and is over, the calling that has account therewith to be correlated with again comes up and will be rejected, thereby has effectively prevented the overdraw problem of account balance.

For first call out to trigger come up after, also can not carry out application form for cash advances and directly from the total amount of the internal memory that is stored in the expenses management module, deduct.

Behind each end of calling, if the call processing module application to expense in call, do not use up, call processing module is returned the application operation to expenses management module mail sending charge per message, have the remaining expense of using of this calling in the application, the expenses management module is added to remaining cost on user's the account number, guarantees that user's account balance can not lost.In each calling, when the expense of previous application in the single call had soon used up, the user can send the application form for cash advances request again.When the user calls out, also can carry out expense by management process and supplement with money, send expense by call processing module to the expenses management module and supplement message with money, the expenses management module receive after this message with in the message with expense be added on the user account.

In addition, in this process, in order to guarantee rationally to deduct fees, in calling procedure, the expenses management module also sends to call processing module and activates test post, is used to verify whether current calling still exists.Call processing module is received the activation test post that the expenses management module is sent, if this call treatment is normal, then returns and activates test result message, otherwise directly abandon this message, does not process.Receive activation test result message when the expenses management module, think that then call treatment is normal, otherwise think that call treatment breaks down that the expenses management module is deleted and called out relevant memory information therewith.

Another embodiment of the present invention is as follows: distribute this to call out the required minimum charging amount of money by the expenses management module to call processing module, constantly trigger as a plurality of callings, the expenses management module is distributed the minimum charging amount of money of each time to call processing module, when the Fee Amount of the distribution of each time calling uses up the back or is about to use up, propose application form for cash advances immediately once more, apply for up to end of calling so repeatedly.

The wireless intelligent network (WIN) that this method also can be used for global digital mobile communication system (GSM) waits in other communication system.
