Abstract

Users through access devices are connected to service module, and through AAA server are carried out authentication and charging. The method includes following steps: (1) determining user's threshold value of allocating available resources for user connection; (2) based on the said allocating threshold value, pre allocation of available resources for users, who are successful to pass authentication, is carried out. The invention records information of available resources preallocated already and consumed by users in real time, and determines whether service is continued or stopped for providing the user based on the recorded information. Through pre allocation of available resources, the invention implements function of user's multiple services and multiple connections as well as prevents resources overdraft from happening so as to protect benefit of user and service provider.

Description

A kind of user's available resources are carried out preallocated method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of multi-link method of carrying out pre-allocation of resources of user multi-service that is, can prevent user's resource overdraw.
Background technology
AAA (authorize, authenticate, charge) server is as authentication, the accounting server of access device (NAS, Ethernet switch etc.), and the effect in Internet (the Internet) networking plan is more and more important.Aaa server can normally move determined the user can normally insert, can the normal recordings charge information etc. and user, service provider's interests and the closely-related problem of service quality.
Along with network-based services is more and more, the user for example beats IP phone in order to enjoy different services, and broadband access etc. need to buy different cards, need remember different user's names and password, and this has obviously increased user's use inconvenience.At this situation, CAMS (integrated access management server) provides user multi-service multi-link function, promptly a Business Name can use different business down, for example both can make a phone call, can use wideband switch-in business again, or can have a plurality of users to use identical Business Name to carry out professional use simultaneously.Be very easy to the user like this, but also brought corresponding problem simultaneously:, the possibility that the overdraw of user's available resources takes place is arranged for the user of pre-payment.Here said " user's available resources " comprise the expense that the user prepays, i.e. currency resource, the accumulative total non-currency resource of type and other non-currency resource.
In this manual, term " overdraw of user's available resources " is meant that consumed resources was greater than the existing resource of user when the user used business, for example user name A has 100 yuan, there are two clients to use the business of user name A simultaneously, each client's consumption of natural resource is 60 yuan, then total consumption volume is 120 yuan, and the overdraw of user's available resources has promptly taken place this moment.
" accumulative total type non-currency resource ": the non-currency resource of the type is used to add up the client of a plurality of connections and uses professional cumulative amount under a certain user name, does not participate in the processing of chargeing.For example user name A online hourage accumulative total is 20 hours, two clients is arranged with user name A online this moment, and one was used 3 hours, and one was used 4 hours, and the aggregate-value of this moment is 27 hours.Distributing this resource to the user mainly is to be applicable to according to the accumulation of user's use amount and to provide in the billing scheme of preferential (for example rewarding the surf time etc.) to the user.
" other non-currency resource ": the processing that such resource also will participate in chargeing, for example user A selects the charging policy of monthly payment, spends 20 yuan of bags 40 hours, and 20 yuan of currency resources of the deduction user of system this moment generate 40 hours non-currency resource simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
But the distribution method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of user Zhou Ziyuan is guaranteeing that the situation that prevents the overdraw of user's available resources when the user enjoys the multi-link function of multi-service takes place.
For achieving the above object, the invention provides and a kind of user's available resources are carried out preallocated method, wherein the user is connected with business module by access device, and authenticates and charge by aaa server, and this method may further comprise the steps:
(1) for user's available resources allocation threshold is set in charging policy;
(2) to the user of authentication success,, carry out the preassignment of user's available resources according to described user's available resources allocation threshold.
In said method, described business module is meant that operator provides the unit of specific transactions for the user.The preassignment of described user's available resources comprises the preassignment of currency resource, the preassignment of the non-currency resource of accumulative total type and the preassignment of other non-currency resource.Wherein, to described currency resource, when assignable user's usable currency resource quantity during, be that customer service is distributed described currency resource by described resource allocation threshold value, otherwise be that described user distributes the currency resource then by assignable user's available resources quantity greater than set resource allocation threshold value; For the non-currency resource of accumulative total type, for each user connects the non-currency resource of the whole accumulative total type of preassignment; For other non-currency resource, only, first distributes this non-currency resource for connecting.
In said method, comprise also that in real time record is by the information of preallocated user's available resources and user's available resources of having consumed.
Use method of the present invention,, can realize the function that user multi-service is multi-link, and can avoid the situation of resource overdraw to take place by to the allocating in advance of resource, thus protection user and service provider's interests.

Fig. 2 is the flow chart that the resource of one embodiment of the present of invention reclaims.
Embodiment
In the present invention, prevent that by carry out allocating in advance of resource at authentification of user and when charge upgrading user's resource from overdrawing.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, comprise following step:
Classify according to user's available resources, the allocation threshold of user's available resources is set in charging policy.Wherein, the user's available resources that are assigned with threshold value comprise the currency resource of participation charging processing and the non-currency resource of other type, do not comprise accumulative total type currency resource.
Charging policy is meant the cover complete scheme that certain business (as local area network (LAN) access service, dial-up access business) is chargeed.Simple billing scheme has flat rate system, by the duration charging etc., complicated billing scheme may comprise that stepping rate, accumulation are preferential, type selecting rate (as chargeing by various objectives IP address) and period are preferential etc.By the configuring charging strategy, can satisfy most billing schemes of the existing employing of operator, and operator designs the requirement of novel billing scheme, as monthly payment, by duration charge, charge by flow, by purpose IP charge, by QoS charge, the period is preferential, progressive award, accumulation ranking charging etc.
After in charging policy, being provided with the threshold value of user's usable currency resource and the non-currency resource of other type, can carry out pre-allocation of resources to user's connection according to these threshold values.
In the present invention, the system of operator supports the multi-link function of user multi-service, therefore each user to use operator business module provided when professional, system all distributes a part of resource to give this user earlier from user's available resources, when the resource that is assigned with is about to exhaust, distribute once more.When the available resources allocation threshold represents that single uses business, the maximum resource quantity that is assigned with after the authentification of user success.Since the rate difference of different business, the resource difference of identical traffic carrying capacity (duration, flow etc.) cost.Therefore, at the business of different charging policy, the threshold value difference of resource allocation.The setting of threshold value should guarantee that online duration according to the user of this threshold value inverse is greater than update time.
Term in this specification " inverse " is meant that using professional corresponding charging policy, metering period to wait according to the resource of being distributed and user calculates the operable traffic carrying capacity of user, for example can use 10 hours, 10M flow.Hereinafter, the traffic carrying capacity that is calculated is called the inverse amount.This moment, the inverse amount also was not actual use amount, not only can be the time, can also be flow etc.
Here, be a configuration of access device update time, refers to an access the time interval of equipment with communication regularly between the aaa server.After the user was by checking, access device sent billing update packet with this time interval to aaa server, and this billing update packet comprises the needed information of real time billing.Aaa server uses the user to recomputate through the back residual resource information of chargeing simultaneously, calculates the resource inverse value that can use and returns to access device, and this access device uses new inverse value that the user is controlled.
Need explanation, the threshold value of suitably setting pre-allocation resource is very crucial for realization of the present invention.
For example, be spaced apart 3 minutes the update time of establishing access device, and user A authenticates online.If the threshold value that be provided with this moment is less, aaa server is 1 minute according to the time that this threshold value inverse user A can surf the Net, and this result is returned to access device, and then after 1 minute, access device will be forced this user off line.It is professional that the user has only authentication again to enjoy.Otherwise, if the threshold value setting is bigger, user A authenticates online, the time that aaa server inverse user A can surf the Net is 4 minutes, and this result returned to access device, then when 3 minute hands, access device can send the required information of real-time note expense of user A to aaa server, redistribute resource information after handling through chargeing this moment, it is 4 minutes that inverse goes out the time that user A can surf the Net, and this result is returned to access device, and this moment, the user can use 4 minutes business hours again, the rest may be inferred, till the available resources that use the user.Like this, just the user can not be taken place still has available resources, and is shorter than the service of ending update time the user service time because of the user according to the threshold value inverse.
In one embodiment of the invention, the setting principle of the threshold value of pre-allocation resource is will guarantee can guarantee that according to the resource that this threshold value is distributed the user uses the duration of business (promptly being connected with business module) to send the interval duration that upgrades message greater than access device.In addition, can also come to determine the threshold value of pre-allocation resource like this,, guarantee to guarantee that according to the resource that this threshold value is distributed the user can use the average use duration of professional duration greater than the user promptly according to user's operating position statistics.
For example, user A applies for professional, deposits a part of currency in, has applied for that simultaneously multi-service is multi-link, the business that promptly can have a plurality of connections to use identical user's name to use it to provide by business module.For fear of overdraw, introduced the notion of resource allocation, resource allocation is meant when the user authenticates, and tells a part of resource and connects to this, this moment, other the connection of these resources of having distributed can not re-use, therefore situation about just can not overdraw.Simultaneously, because the user needs a plurality of people to surf the Net simultaneously, therefore neither be The more the better to the resource of each distribution.Main policies is, the service provider is according to the use habit of locality, and for example, in general, be 2 hours the average time that the user once surfs the Net, and when so resource being set, the resource of distribution enough user can be used more than 2 hours continuously.For example, establishing the broadband access network charging policy is 0.1 yuan of cost in a minute, and when so corresponding charging policy was provided with, it was 18 yuan that allocation threshold just can be set, and in the time of inverse, the professional use amount of returning is 3 hours so.
Allocation threshold for the currency resource can be set with monetary unit.For example, establish the broadband access network charging policy and be 0.1 yuan of cost in a minute, dial-up access online charging policy be one minute 0.01 yuan, different resource allocation threshold values then can be set.Threshold value to the setting of broadband access network charging policy for example is 20 yuan, the charging policy that dials up on the telephone is provided with threshold value for example is 2 yuan.
The prepaid user need pay different expenses when applying for registration of, to generate different resources, the postpaid service user does not need paying, but also can generate corresponding non-currency resource according to the type of service of selecting.The resource information that system log (SYSLOG) generates.
Also be to use the method for same pre-allocation of resources for the postpaid service user.Specifically, in non-currency resource, comprise hourage, flow value etc., for example the charging policy of the type of service correspondence of postpaid service user B selection is 20 yuan of bags 40 hours, so all can consume 20 yuan by recording user B in every month, generate 40 hours non-currency resource for simultaneously user B, the resource that consumed when this moment, user B used business was just deducted within these 40 hours, and when deducting 0, the user can't use this business.Consume 20 yuan again up to next month, generate 40 hours non-currency resource for simultaneously user B.It is available in limited time to be configured to monthly payment, after promptly the monthly payment number uses up, still can use, but the resource that consumes this moment is not the hourage of monthly payment just, but other resource, for example currency resource etc.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.As shown in Figure 1, aaa server carries out the preassignment of user's available resources after receiving message identifying or upgrading message.Concrete assigning process is as follows:
For the currency resource, distribute in conjunction with the allocation threshold in the charging policy.Aaa server is according to user business type, read allocation threshold A in the charging policy, currency resource information B that this user has distributed and user's all currencies resource information C respectively, and the value of A and C-B compared, during greater than A, get the apportioning cost of A at C-B as the currency resource of this connection; During smaller or equal to A, get the apportioning cost of C-B at C-B for the currency resource of this connection.
For non-currency resource, distribute in two kinds of situation:
1), each is connected the identical value of distribution for the non-currency resource of accumulative total type.Accumulative total type non-currency resource is that the resource that a plurality of connections of using the same subscriber title have been used add up, so after add up in each the charging, what each was connected distribution is identical use amount after adding up.
2) only distribute to first connection for the non-currency resource of other above-mentioned type.This can prevent that resource from being overdrawed simultaneously except on realizing easily the reason.Because have only one to connect use, when the aaa server inverse, can control.Certainly, also can threshold value be set to non-currency resource distributes.
After carrying out pre-allocation of resources like this, the resource information of different connections will not be shared, even be the same concerning the connection of using the same subscriber title yet.
For the currency resource of having distributed, non-currency resource, carry out record by aaa server, guarantee that the resource of having distributed can not taken by other connection.
In addition, use in the professional process the user, access device regularly sends the renewal message in above-mentioned update time, and this user of notice aaa server still uses business, and calculates the already used traffic carrying capacity of user in real time.This calculating is to calculate as the basis with the message that each update package of access device sends.After the use resource that the calculating user has consumed in real time, deduction has been used resource from user's available resources.
The mode of user's available resources being carried out preassignment and subsequent treatment can have multiple.Said method is a kind of simple mode, when promptly the billing update packet that at every turn sends at access device arrives, is that the user redistributes first resource by aaa server according to the resource allocation threshold value.Like this as long as judge user's available resources earlier by aforesaid mode in minute timing.
The preallocated another kind of mode of available resources is, when being user's pre-allocation resource for the first time, give the user with more resource allocation according to the resource allocation threshold value, then when charging message arrives, aaa server carries out Resources allocation with user's's consumption of natural resource comparison.When the user used service ending, access device sent accounting completion packet to aaa server.In this case, the resource allocation threshold value also will be provided with greatlyyer, and for example as mentioned above, this threshold value is set to guarantee can guarantee that according to the resource that this threshold value is distributed the user can use the average use duration of professional duration greater than the user.
Under the above-mentioned second way,, need further distribute the currency resource for this user when the currency resource that is assigned with is about to exhaust and user when still using business.And when the non-currency resource of the currency resource that is assigned with or other type is depleted, the business of end user then, and notify the user.
When receiving accounting completion packet, aaa server will reclaim the resource that the user uses.This process as shown in Figure 2.In removal process shown in Figure 2, when aaa server is received accounting completion packet, will calculate resource that the user consumes and reward resource information, and calculate user's cost of use to the user according to charging policy.From user's available resources, deduct.Reward the resource of giving the user if having, also add in real time in user's the available resource information,, be convenient to the user and use next time professional to upgrade user's available resource information.
More than the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail for illustrative purposes; but those of ordinary skill in the art is to be appreciated that; under the situation of scope and spirit of the present invention; various improvement, interpolation and replacement all are possible, and all in the protection range that claim of the present invention limited.
