Abstract

This invention discloses a realizing method for utilizing the advance payment card number at the same time. A user starts calling by using the advance payment card number, a service control point deducts in advance a certain number of expenses from the account corresponding to the advance payment card number, if the deduction is successful, a timer is set for monitoring the user session and deducts in advance expenses of next time when the timing is over, if it's not successful, then this service is ended.

Description

The implementation method that the pre-payment card number uses simultaneously
Technical field
The present invention relates to intelligent network technology, particularly pre-payment card number using method in the intelligent network.
Background technology
Along with the development of pre-payment card number business, the demand that prepaid card uses simultaneously is more and more.And in the card number service of present intelligent network, mainly contain following two kinds of technical schemes:
Technical scheme one:
Behind User input card number password, professional this card is carried out authentication (judge whether password is correct, whether this card number is locked), after authentication is passed through, business will lock to this card, behind the end of calling, professional this be blocked release.Therefore, in the use procedure of this card (when locking), if another user need to use this card just can't pass through authentication.This kind scheme locks to card and mainly contains following reason:
1, user's the duration of call is how many restrictions of the amount of money conversed on the card, before connecting called number, professional " charging application " message that sends is given Service Switching Point (SSP), comprises the amount of money conversed on the card in this message, and SSP then carries out expense and monitors; Arrive when the time of user's on-hook or expense supervision, it is professional then to report " charging report " message to give, and comprises the amount of money of conversation in this message, and business is then deducted fees according to this amount of money.
2, because business does not know how long the user will converse (may only have a few minutes, may use up institute's surplus yet), therefore, the amount of money conversed that sends in " charging application " message is the remaining sum on the card.
If 3 do not lock to card, then might a plurality of callings use simultaneously this card, each is called out with remaining sum and sends " charging application " message as the amount of money of can conversing, and just might cause overdraw so at last, and the Maximum Amount of overdraw is (n *Remaining sum), n is the while call number.
As seen, be subjected to the impact of the prepaid card mechanism of deducting fees, must lock to card.Owing to affected by the mechanism of deducting fees of pre-payment, this scheme does not allow a pre-payment card number to be used simultaneously by many people, thereby has limited professional function.
Technical scheme two:
This scheme is the improvement to scheme one, and behind User input card number password, business is carried out authentication (judging whether password is correct) to this card, does not need the judgement that locks, and after authentication was passed through, processing did not lock yet.Before connection is called, the professional transmission in " charging application " message, the amount of money of can conversing is not whole remaining sums, but the part of remaining sum, for example: being fixed as 10 yuan, when remaining sum is less than 10 yuan, just is whole remaining sums.SSP carries out expense with 10 yuan and monitors that therefore, this conversation can be used 10 yuans at most.When the expense that reaches 10 yuan monitors, call out and cut off by SSP, even go back surplus on user's card number, can not use in this calling.
Owing to card is not locked, and the amount of money conversed that sends lacks than remaining sum, so technology two can allow prepaid card to use simultaneously, and the number that can use simultaneously is the integer part of (remaining sum/amount of money of can conversing).
Though this scheme allows prepaid card to be used simultaneously, but have a restriction: the amount of money of can conversing lacks than the remaining sum on the prepaid card, the user can only use the conversed amount of money of the part of remaining sum as this conversation, even current have only a calling, the user can not once use whole remaining sums.For example 100 yuan prepaid card allows 10 people to use simultaneously, and the amount of money conversed of promptly each transmission is 10 yuan, even then have only a customer call, also can only use 10 yuan at most in the calling.Therefore, prior art two is that restricted prepaid card uses simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
The implementation method that the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of pre-payment card number to use simultaneously, when solving that a plurality of users use the pre-payment card number simultaneously in the prior art, the problem of cut-out user's communication remaining sum uses up before.
Realize technical scheme of the present invention:
The implementation method that a kind of pre-payment card number uses simultaneously comprises step:
A, user make a call by using the pre-payment card number;
B, service control point from the account of pre-payment card number correspondence for the withhold expense of some of this user, if the withholding fee success then continues step C; Otherwise terminated call;
C, the timer that the monitoring user duration of call is set and replay call; And
D, triggering service control point when regularly arriving, is the withhold expense of next described certain data of user by service control point, if this withholding fee success then allow to continue conversation, otherwise would finish conversation.
Wherein:
The expense of described some is a fixing expense sheet, and the duration of call of determining by this expense sheet is provided with timer.
The size of described expense sheet arranges respectively by local telephone network, national distance and international long-distance.
The expense of described some is according to the definite cost of the phone call of a regular time sheet, and by this timeslice timer is set.
The size of described timeslice arranges respectively by local telephone network, national distance and international long-distance.
Among the step C, send charging request message by service control point to Service Switching Point, the timer that monitors the user's communication duration is set by Service Switching Point; Among the step D, send the Intermediate Charging ICH report message by Service Switching Point to service control point and trigger service control point.
Among the step C, directly at service control point the timer that monitors the user's communication duration is set.
Among the step D, when account balance be less than described some expense but greater than 0 the time, but then calculate the duration of call of this remaining sum, and with this duration the timer that monitors the user's communication duration is set directly on service control point.
Among the step B, service control point is judged earlier the maximum simultaneously calling party's the number whether number of users of current this prepaid card of use equal to set before withholding fee, if equal then refuse described user and use this card.
When conversation is ended because of abnormal conditions between the user, return withholding fee to the user and use.
The user returns the user with unspent expense when initiatively cutoff call and the expense of the described some of withholding do not use up.
LSN in the ticket of each calling behind the end of conversation, records one and finishes ticket, and after ticket generates ticket is merged, and makes one to call out corresponding ticket.
The present invention adopts timeslice or expense sheet mode that the expense of using the pre-payment card number is managed, and can take full advantage of the expense remaining sum when this card is used in a plurality of callings simultaneously, can not also have cutting call in the situation of expense remaining sum the user; Simultaneously the present invention is fully by the intelligent network practical function, do not need switch to do specially treated (Intelligent Network Application Protocol of Application standard, so switch does not need to make amendment), thereby has the low advantage of cost.

Embodiment
Consult shown in Figure 1: Service Switching Point is finished basic function of exchange, finishes the indication/request of Service Control Point, and reports necessary information to SCP; Service Control Point explanation execution IN service-finish various operations according to the relevant SSP of miscellaneous service logic commander; SMAP (SMAP) sends various maintenance commands, the data in inquiry and the modification database; The intermediary between SMAP and SCP is served as in service management point (SMP), finishes functions such as getting ticket and clearing; Service creation environment (SCE) is the instrument of establishment IN service, business can be preserved into the form that SCP can understand.The present invention is mainly concerned with service control point (SCP) and Service Switching Point (SSP) by the business realizing of the upper operation of service control point (SCP).
Conversation among the present invention is the general designation of business of networking, call business etc.; The duration of call then be business of networking time length, call business time length etc. general designation.
Embodiment one:
Present embodiment is take the processing mode of time slicing charging as example.Promptly set a smaller timeslice, as 5 minutes, the expense of a timeslice of each call request, expense uses up the new timeslice of continuation application.If application is not called out less than then not allowing.
After the user dials phone number, professional at first from the withhold expense of a timeslice of card number, in this example take 5 minutes as example, if deduct fees successfully, then continue.Converse after 5 minutes, professional expense of withholding again 5 minutes if deduct fees successfully, then continues conversation 5 minutes, if fail then call release.If the user is on-hook in handshaking procedure, then business is returned the expense that the user has not detained.
Timeslice can be by local telephone network, national distance, the different size of international long-distance configuration, and unit is minute.Consider performance factor, timeslice must not Xiao Yu 5 minutes.For example: configurable local telephone network timeslice is 10 minutes, and national distance is 15 minutes, and international long-distance is 5 minutes.
Timeslice is more big, and a timeslice number of times of calling out required application is more little, and is also more little to the impact of performance.Timeslice is more little, and then the admissible while calls of the same card is more big, and budget is more accurate.Therefore, it is definite that the size of timeslice need be looked the different traffic models in various places.The best is: satisfy the great majority calling and finish in a timeslice, do not need application time sheet for the second time.
Consult shown in Figure 2ly, treatment step is as follows:
Step 10: the user makes a call by using the pre-payment card number.
Behind User input card number password, service control point carries out authentication to judge whether password is correct to this card; Authentication is called out by rear permission user, otherwise does not allow to call out.
Step 20: service control point is 5 minutes expense from the account of pre-payment card number correspondence for this user timeslice of withholding, if the withholding fee success then continues step 30; Otherwise terminated call.
For being provided with the maximum pre-payment card number of number of calling out simultaneously, service control point judges earlier that before the expense of timeslice of withholding the maximum whether number of users of current this prepaid card of use equals to set calls out number simultaneously, if equal then do not allow this user to use this card.
It is configurable that maximum is called out number simultaneously.If be configured to not limit, then according to the handling principle of timeslice, number of users is simultaneously: the required expense of remaining sum/one timeslice.
Step 30: service control point sends accounting request to Service Switching Point, and Service Switching Point arranges the timer that monitors the user's communication duration by timeslice, and replay call.
Step 40: when regularly arriving, Service Switching Point sends the Intermediate Charging ICH report message to service control point, and service control point is the withhold expense of next timeslice of the user who continues conversation, if withholding fee success then continue to allow to continue conversation; Otherwise finish conversation.
Service control point calculates earlier remaining sum and whether also enough uses a timeslice before the expense of next timeslice of withholding.If the expense of the unnecessary timeslice of remaining sum then allows to continue conversation, and waits for that next " Intermediate Charging ICH report " arrives; If remaining sum is less than the expense of a timeslice and expense greater than 0, but then calculate the duration of call of current remaining sum, and directly set timer at service control point with this duration, if regularly arrive, then by service control point initiatively cutting call (because the timer of Service Switching Point can only be when the conversation beginning, when being service control point transmission accounting request, set once, just can not change later.Therefore, timer can only be set on service control point, when timer arrives, cut off calling) by service control point; If remaining sum is 0, then direct call release.
Above-mentioned flow process regularly reports Intermediate Charging ICH report to trigger service logic with SSP to carry out burst and deduct fees, also can timer be set on SCP realizes, its difference is in step 30, step 30 is when on SCP timer being set: service control point is provided with timer according to timeslice and comes the monitoring user duration of call, triggers service control point and deduct fees when regularly arriving.All the other steps are identical.
Processing for abnormal conditions:
Owing to call out in the application time sheet, the remaining sum of this timeslice has been deducted, make call termination if abnormal conditions occurred, report unusual TC-U-Error (to belong to a kind of in SSP and the SCP interaction message as delay machine, SSP of platform, SCP receives that this message is call release) etc., the actual amount of money does not but use up, and that is to say, the loss of this timeslice has been born by the user, irrational situation of chargeing will occur.Therefore, professional when application time sheet and timeslice use up, carry out record respectively.
1, the machine situation of delaying: carry out reconciliation process according to these two information by platform tools, discovery account injustice, then compensate (for the expense of having detained a timeslice, but the situation that call exception is ended, the expense of this timeslice is returned the user, thereby avoid abnormal conditions to cause user's loss), and record compensation daily record.Consider performance factor, daily record is not to be recorded in the database, but passes through the mode record of written document.Attention just can be returned the user by the loss amount of money after the operation platform tools when generally will be at night not busy under the machine situation of delaying unusually.
2, SSP reports the TC-U-Error situation: business (after business discharges, can enter the post processing logic) in the post processing logic, judge whether the current time sheet writes off, if do not have, then current time sheet expense is returned, and record writes off daily record.
Handle for ticket:
In the situation of burst charging, because expense once do not deduct, in order to guarantee to deduct fees consistent with ticket, to deduct fees during one card for multiple uses at every turn and all want call list, i.e. calling may have many tickets, and the number of ticket is the quantity of application time sheet.
Because a calling has many tickets, so requirement, LSN in the ticket of each calling behind the end of conversation, writes down a special end ticket, represents this end of conversation.
Professional initial, the concluding time of timeslice are the time of SSP when writing ticket, and this time obtains by the Intermediate Charging ICH report; Initiatively discharge if last timeslice is SCP, then professional with last timeslice the concluding time+duration of last timeslice, as the concluding time of last timeslice.
When running into DP incident such as routing failure, no response, the money of deducting should be returned, and record writes off daily record, do not write ticket.
After ticket generated, the ticket handling implement by special merged ticket, called out corresponding ticket with one.
Embodiment two,
Be example periodically to deduct fees in the present embodiment by the expense sheet.After the user dialed phone number, professional was 1 yuan for example at first from the withhold expense of an expense sheet of card number, if deduct fees successfully, then carries out call proceeding.Converse (if 1 yuan can be conversed 5 minutes) after 5 minutes, business 1 yuan of withholding again if deduct fees successfully, then continues conversation 5 minutes, if fail then call release.If the user is on-hook in handshaking procedure, then business is returned the expense that the user has not detained.
The expense sheet can dispose different sizes, and consider performance factor by local telephone network, national distance, international long-distance.Its principle is identical with the configuration of timeslice size among the embodiment one.
Consult shown in Figure 3ly, treatment step is as follows:
Step 100: the user makes a call by using the pre-payment card number.
Behind User input card number password, service control point carries out authentication to judge whether password is correct to this card; Authentication is called out by rear permission user, otherwise does not allow to call out.
Step 200: service control point is 1 yuan expense from the account of pre-payment card number correspondence for this user expense sheet of withholding, if the withholding fee success then continues step 300; Otherwise terminated call.
For being provided with the maximum pre-payment card number of number of calling out simultaneously, service control point judges earlier that before the expense of timeslice of withholding the maximum whether number of users of current this prepaid card of use equals to set calls out number simultaneously, if equal then do not allow this user to use this card.
It is configurable that maximum is called out number simultaneously.If be configured to not limit, then according to the handling principle of timeslice, number of users is simultaneously: the required expense of remaining sum/one timeslice.
Step 300: service control point sends accounting request to Service Switching Point, and operation exchange is pressed the duration of call corresponding to expense sheet the timer that monitors the user's communication duration is set, and replay call.
Step 400: when regularly arriving, Service Switching Point sends the Intermediate Charging ICH report message to service control point, is the user that the continues conversation next expense sheet of withholding by service control point, if withholding fee success then allow to continue conversation, otherwise would finish conversation.
Service control point is when withholding next expense sheet, if the unnecessary expense sheet of the remaining sum on the account then allows to continue conversation, and waits for that next Intermediate Charging ICH report arrives; If the remaining sum on the account is less than an expense sheet and expense greater than 0, but then calculate the duration of call when remaining sum, and reset timer with this duration at service control point, if regularly arrive, SCP cutting call initiatively then; If the remaining sum on the account is 0, direct call release then.
Above-mentioned flow process regularly reports Intermediate Charging ICH report to trigger service logic with SSP to carry out burst and deduct fees, also can timer be set by SCP and realize that it is distinguished in step 30.Step 30 is when service control point arranges timer: Service control is pressed a duration of call corresponding to expense sheet and timer is set is monitored the user's communication duration, triggers service control point and deduct fees when regularly arriving.All the other steps are identical.
In the present embodiment, identical with embodiment one to the processing of abnormal conditions and ticket.
Can find out that from above-mentioned two embodiment under the mode that burst charges, the cost of the phone call of each calling can be predicted, therefore solve the overdraw problem when using simultaneously.
By the present invention, the application that can be achieved as follows:
1, multifunction card: the user uses a prepaid card to make a phone call in online, can many people make simultaneously With.
2, pre-payment company card: company uses a prepaid card to be bundled on all office telephones, in binding Phone on can carry out one-stage dialing.
3, conference telephone: in the same meeting, all participants' expense is deducted at a conference telephone card, The conference telephone card can be prepayment mode.
