In the prior art, SCP is connected to FEP, and is connected to account platform and charging payment platform by FEP.And in one embodiment of the present of invention as shown in Figure 2, the VC that is set up by the present invention is connected to a GFEP, and is connected to account platform and charging payment platform by GFEP.Specifically, VC is connected to GFEP, and GFEP is connected to account platform and charging payment platform more simultaneously, and does not directly connect between account platform and the charging payment platform.The present invention just can come all charging payment business are focused on by the VC that unified charging payment business is provided like this.
In the present invention, VC is connected with SCP simultaneously, is connected to SMAP and SCP is also the same with all intelligent net system by SMP.Except being connected of GFEP and account platform and charging payment platform adopts the DDN special line, above-mentioned all connections all are to pass through local area network (LAN).No matter be that DDN private line access or local area network (LAN) connect, employed host-host protocol all is TCP/IP.Local area network (LAN) connection and DDN private line access all adopt solid line to represent among the figure.
Except local network, VC also is connected to the Signaling System Number 7 net by the mode of Signaling System Number 7, and being connected to the SCP and the SSP of far-end by the Signaling System Number 7 net, VC not only can provide charging payment business to the local user like this, but also can provide charging payment business to the user in strange land.Among the figure, Signaling System Number 7 connects the employing dotted line and represents.
In addition, VC can also be connected with SMP, adopts chain-dotted line to represent connection possible between them here.
The effect of above-mentioned GFEP is identical with the effect of FEP of the prior art, and being called GFEP here is in order to distinguish mutually with the FEP of prior art, because the GFEP here only handles charging payment business, and not handle other IN services.Certainly it will be understood by those skilled in the art that GFEP also can be integrated in the same equipment with FEP, but preferably, GFEP is provided with separately in network still.
Equally, VMP can be integrated in the same equipment with SMP, and VMAP and SMAP also can integrate, but preferably, for the management with other IN services does not influence each other, VMP and VMAP are provided with separately in network.
In this embodiment, VC is the whole center that the system of unified charging payment is provided, and it is the access platform of customer call, is again the intermediary interface that connects account platform and charging payment platform.Directly do not connect between account platform and the charging payment platform, all charging payment operations all are to be dealt into account platform or charging payment platform by the VC platform.
The charging payment platform here can be third party's information platforms such as bank, also can be the card number platform in the intelligent network.Certainly, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, if the charging payment platform is the card number platform in the intelligent network, and the professional card number service with the charging payment platform of VC is arranged in same intelligent network, VC platform and being connected of charging payment platform can omit so, and any operation that the charging payment platform is carried out is all directly finished in intelligent network inside.
In addition, system group network of the present invention also can adopt structure as shown in Figure 3.In second embodiment as shown in Figure 3, GFEP directly is not connected with account platform and charging payment platform, but is connected to a payment interface FEP, and is connected to account platform and charging payment platform by this payment interface FEP.In this system configuration, VC, account platform and charging payment platform are in the status of equality, and payment interface FEP then is the center that connects them.Wherein, VC is responsible for inserting, receiving user's operation information, and this information is sent to payment interface FEP, and receives and to play corresponding voice from the response message of payment interface FEP and to the user, and in other words, VC is the user interface of whole charging payment system.The account platform is responsible for providing user's billing data, and the request message of transmitting according to payment interface FEP provides Query Result to payment interface FEP, perhaps sends the operating result of the operation that writes off to payment interface FEP in the back that writes off.The charging payment platform is responsible for carrying out operation for paying the fee, according to the request of deducting fees that payment interface FEP forwards, deducts the expense of being asked in corresponding number of the account, and returns the operating result of deducting fees to payment interface FEP.
In this embodiment, payment interface FEP can be provided with separately, also can be finished by the account platform as required, just integrates with the account platform.And the account platform can have directly with the charging payment platform and is connected, and its connection can be adopted the DDN special line.
By two embodiment system configuration of the present invention has been described above, as can be seen, by setting up independent VC, all charging payment business of originally realizing on same SCP or different SCP can be concentrated in together, and other IN services of getting along well produce and influence each other, the basis of hardware is provided for unified charging payment business of the present invention like this, has unified the method for charging payment again in conjunction with the following realization that will describe in detail, can intactly reach purpose of the present invention.
Fig. 4 shows the flow chart that charging payment is unified in realization according to the present invention.As shown in Figure 4, method flow of the present invention comprises following processing procedure at least.
In step 401, at first set up a VC who is used to focus on charging payment business, connect account platform and charging payment platform by VC, and the relevant information of all charging payment business is stored in the database of a consolidation form.
In step 402,, and provide a voice suggestion that is applicable to all charging payment business for all charging payment business distribute an independent access telephone number.
In step 403, the message format between VC, account platform and the charging payment platform is set, make it comprise information such as destination node, source node, type of message and charging payment type at least.
Above-mentioned step 401 all need be carried out in advance to 403, can handle each concrete charging payment business by above-mentioned steps.In the present invention, concrete charging payment business both can be initiated by the access telephone number of dialing VC by the user, also can initiatively be initiated by the charging payment platform.
In step 404, under the situation that concrete charging payment business is initiated by the access telephone number of dialing VC by the user, when VC receives after the user initiates charging payment business by the access telephone number of dialing VC, play unified voice suggestion to the user, require the user to import relevant information, and according to user profile generation charging payment business request message, the business request information here comprises information such as destination node, source node, type of message and charging payment type at least.Finish whole charging payment operation by the interacting message between VC, charging payment platform and the account platform then.Under the situation that concrete charging payment business is initiated by the charging payment platform, the charging payment platform generates the charging payment business request message that comprises destination node, source node, type of message and charging payment type information, finishes whole charging payment operation by the interacting message between VC, charging payment platform and the account platform then.
In above-mentioned steps 401, be appreciated that VC is connected to account platform and charging payment platform by GFEP, or be connected to account platform and charging payment platform by GFEP and payment interface FEP.The database of setting up consolidation form means that the specifying information that is comprised is identical for the relevant information of all charging payment business.
In above-mentioned steps 402, owing to set up the VC that is used to focus on charging payment business, so no matter all users need to use any charging payment business, can dial the access telephone number of this VC.And VC provides unified call voice prompting for all charging payment business, identical foreground administration interface just is provided, what hear when the user uses different charging payment business like this is identical voice suggestion, and only need select different options to get final product, thereby bring great advantage to the user.
Fig. 5 shows the example of the interaction process flow process between a VC and the user.After receiving the phone call request of destination Mobile Station International ISDN Number that the user dials for this access telephone number, at first step 501 to 503 by VC to user's playing welcome announcement, point out the user to select voice class then, for example Chinese is still English, point out the user to carry out menu 1 then and select, just supplement with money please by 1, pay please by 2.After the user had carried out menu 1 selection, VC judged user's selection in step 504.If the user has just selected to supplement with money by 1, then enter step 505 and subsequent step thereof; If the user has just selected paying by 2, then enter step 511 and subsequent step thereof.
After the user has selected to supplement with money, at first carry out menu 2 and select step 505 prompting user, just select by the recharging service type, for example be to supplement with money to user's 200 cards.No matter need to prove, be that selection is any by the recharging service type here, and follow-up voice suggestion and the subsequent treatment of VC all are identical.Supplemented with money number of the account and password in step 506 prompting user input then.After the user inputs number of the account and password, carry out menu 4 step 507 prompting user and select, just select rechargeable card please by 1, query the balance please by 2, bank remits money please by 3.After the user had carried out menu 4 selections, VC judged user's selection in step 508.If the user has selected rechargeable card, then further input rechargeable card card number and password step 509 prompting user.If the user has selected bank to remit money, then further input Bank Account Number and password step 510 prompting user.And if the user has selected to query the balance, then VC directly handles, and need not reresent the user before handling, and only need inform that the user gets final product after handling.
If what judge that the user selects in step 504 is to pay, at first carry out menu 3 and select step 511 prompting user, just select the paid service type, for example be to charge for telephone etc.Equally, what no matter the user selected is any paid service type, and follow-up voice suggestion and the subsequent treatment of VC all are identical.Step 512 prompting user input by paying number of the account, password thereafter.To user input carried out local authentication or account platform authentication by paying number of the account and password after, carry out menu 5 step 513 prompting user and select, select just that rechargeable card is paid please by 1, the bill inquiry please by 2, bank remits money please by 3.VC judges user's selection in step 514.If the user has selected the rechargeable card paying, then further point out the user to input rechargeable card card number and password in step 515.If the user has selected bank to remit money, then further point out the user to input Bank Account Number and password in step 516.And if the user has selected the bill inquiry, same VC directly handles, and need not reresent the user before handling, and only need inform that the user gets final product after handling.
In above-mentioned example, no matter be recharging service or paid service, no matter be to supplement with money or supplement with money to 300 cards to 200 cards, no matter be to remit money by rechargeable card or by bank to supplement with money, no matter be to charge for telephone or pay the water power gas charge, no matter be to pay or, can use same handling process, thereby simplify processing greatly to charging payment business by bank's paying of remitting money by rechargeable card.Certainly can understand, can suitably change above-mentioned handling process for different practical applications, for example can enter menu 4 then and carry out same selection as shown in Figure 6 according to the different prompt tone of different choice broadcast of menu 2 after the user selects to supplement with money.Perhaps as shown in Figure 7, require the user to input rechargeable card card number and password earlier, carry out the selection of menu 2 then.Again for example, after selecting to pay, the user require the user to select to pay still according to a minute account sequence number paying as shown in Figure 8 by telephone number, if and the user has selected to pay according to minute account sequence number, further can divide the account sequence number to user prompt, the unified at last selection that enters menu 6 according to the telephone number of user's input.The selection of menu 6 can comprise paying, stops payment, inquiry, debit card balance transfer or the like.
Above-mentioned all menus all can dispose flexibly, comprise realize menu have or not, adjust menu prompt function and masked segment menu function.The bill of for example only opening paying is paid, two functions of bill inquiry, and then can be according to following configuration: menu 1 place be provided with default feature and be " paying ", and the user just can't hear the prompt tone of menu 1 like this.And menu 3 can keep paying and query function, and other can shield by configuration.Be prompted to user's voice like this and be " bill is paid please by 1, and bill is inquired about please by 2 ".Simultaneously, playing welcome announcement and prompting user select step such as category of language also can cancel.
In a word, the service provider can dispose flexibly according to different business demands and environment for use, describes in detail no longer one by one here.
Below again by a concrete reciprocal process of supplementing procedure declaration VC of the present invention and user with money.Here the calling number of supposing the user is 01087654321, and the unified phone access code of VC is 225, and the rechargeable card card number is 123412345678, is 888812345678 by the rechargeable card card number, rechargeable card and all be 1234 by the password of rechargeable card.
When the user wishes to supplement with money, at first dial the unified phone access code 225 of VC, VC is after detecting user's phone call request, at first point out the user to import the rechargeable card card number, after the user imported 123412345678, the system prompt user imported prepaid card password, and the user imports 1234.System prompt user " rechargeable card is please by 1, queries the balance please by 2, and bank remits money please by 3 " then.This moment, the user imported 1, and system then points out the user to import by the rechargeable card card number, and after the user imported 888812345678, prompting user input was by prepaid card password, and this moment, the user imported 1234.After receiving all these information, system supplements processing with money, for example increases remaining sum, extends the expiration date and retention period etc., and write down corresponding daily record.So far the user can realize that it is to supplementing with money by rechargeable card.
Except having unified maintenance management interface, foreground, the reciprocal process of just having unified VC and user, handle in order to realize unified charging payment business, also must be in the interacting message between VC and charging payment platform, the account platform destination node and the source node of the different type of message of identification, identification charging payment type, identification charging payment business, for this reason redetermination a kind of message format reach above-mentioned identifying purpose.

Utilize above-mentioned unified charging payment system to unify the method for charging payment below in conjunction with several concrete example introductions.
In first example, initiate recharge procedure by the user by the unified phone access code of dialing VC, and remit money to being supplemented with money by rechargeable card by bank.Figure 10 shows the message interaction process of this example.
At first, by VC and user's aforementioned interaction flow, VC obtains carrying out the more necessary information of recharging service, and for example the user wishes to supplement with money for 200 card numbers of oneself by the number of the account of Bank of China.VC supplements operation with money by finishing jointly with the interacting message of account platform and charging payment platform then.
Specifically, VC is at first to the account platform, and just 200 card platforms send the application bag that queries the balance.In the message header of this message bag, information such as destination node, source node, type of message and charging payment type have been comprised, wherein destination node is the numbering 1001 of 200 cards, source node is the numbering 0100 of Bank of China, type of message is the numbering 0035 of application bag of querying the balance, the charging payment type then be expression supplement with money 3000.That is to say that field 4 is 0035, field 5 is 0100, and field 6 is 1001, and field 8 is 3000.Information such as the number of the account of the card numbers of 200 cards and password and Bank of China and password in the message body of this message bag, have been comprised.
The account platform is after receiving this message bag, determine type, destination node, source node and the charging payment type of this message according to the information in this message header, then 200 card numbers that block of the input of the user in the message body are judged, if supplemented with money number of the account and can be supplemented with money, then return the affirmation bag that queries the balance to VC, wherein the type of message in the message header is revised as to query the balance and confirms the numbering 0036 of bag, field 5, field 6 and field 8 are then identical with the application bag that queries the balance, and the answer code in the message body is set to success simultaneously.If supplemented with money number of the account and can not supplement with money, then the answer code in the message body is set to get nowhere, and finishes the process of supplementing with money.
VC is after receiving the acknowledge message that queries the balance, to the charging payment platform, just bank's platform sends a deduction application bag (field 4=0009, field 5=0100, field 6=1001, field 8=3000), the charging payment platform is withholdd in corresponding number of the account, affirmation bag (the field 4=0010 that withholds is returned to VC in the back withholing, field 5=0100, field 6=1001, field 8=3000).VC sends to the account platform and supplements application bag (field 4=0037 with money then, field 5=0100, field 6=1001, field 8=3000), the account platform is injected into fund to be supplemented with money to return afterwards in the number of the account VC platform and supplement with money confirms bag (field 4=0038, field 5=0100, field 6=1001, field 8=3000).So far the user has finished that calling remits money by bank realizes the business supplement with money.
Certainly can understand, if 200 card business are provided by VC too, the message interaction process between VC and the account platform is actually in VC inside and handles so, and that is to say does not need to send corresponding message, but is directly handled by VC.
In second example, initiatively initiate recharge procedure by bank, and remit money to being supplemented with money by rechargeable card by bank as the charging payment platform.Figure 11 shows the message interaction process of this example.
In actual conditions, the user can not supplement with money by calling yet, but handles the formality that bank regularly remits money in bank side in advance, like this to a time of being arranged, for example first day every month, bank can initiatively initiate to supplement process with money, thereby brings bigger convenience to the user.
Here regularly supplement with money by the account of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China with the user and be example to IC-card, in this case, after the time that arrives agreement, the essential information that bank provides when contracting this business according to the user, for example supplemented with money number of the account and password, Bank Account Number and password etc., generate the application bag of remitting money, type of message in its message header is remitted money for expression and is applied for 0023 of bag, source node is 0200 of the expression Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, destination node is 1004 of expression IC-card business, and the charging payment type for expression supplement with money 3000, comprise information such as being supplemented with money number of the account and password in the message body.The charging payment platform is after generating this message bag, this message bag is sent to VC, VC receives the information of resolving behind this message bag in the message header, and generate one in view of the above and supplement application bag (field 4=0037 with money, field 5=0200, field 6=1004, field 8=3000), send it to the account platform then.The account platform is after injection fund on corresponding number of the account to it, return to supplement with money to VC and confirm bag (field 4=0038, field 5=0200, field 6=1004, field 8=3000), the VC platform returns to remit money to the charging payment platform then and confirms bag (field 4=0024, field 5=0200, field 6=1004, field 8=3000).So far promptly initiatively initiate to have finished and once supplement operation with money by bank.
In the 3rd example, by the unified telephone number that inserts of dialing VC telephone number is paid by the user.Figure 12 shows the message interaction process of this example.
At first, by VC and user's aforementioned interaction flow, VC obtain paying more necessary information, for example user's paying number of the account and password, the telephone number that will pay and paying password etc.VC supplements operation with money by finishing jointly with the interacting message of account platform and charging payment platform then.
Specifically, VC at first sends bill application bag to the account platform.In the message header of this message bag, information such as destination node, source node, type of message and charging payment type have been comprised.Here the telephone service that supposition will be paid is domestic city telephone rate, and provider is a China Telecom, and the charging payment platform is a China Construction Bank, and the field in this message header 4 is 0007 so, and field 5 is 0600, and field 6 is 2100, and field 8 is 0001.Information such as the number of the account of paying number of the account and password and China Construction Bank and password in the message body of this message bag, have been comprised.
The account platform is after receiving this message bag, determine type, destination node, source node and the charging payment type of this message according to the information in this message header, then to being judged that the user in the message body imports by the paying number of the account, if do not paid as yet by the paying number of the account, then return a bill data bag to VC, wherein the type of message in the message header is revised as the numbering 0008 of bill data bag, and field 5, field 6 and field 8 are then identical with bill application bag.
VC is after receiving the bill data information, to the charging payment platform, just bank's platform sends a deduction application bag (field 4=0009, field 5=0600, field 6=2100, field 8=0001), the charging payment platform is withholdd in corresponding number of the account, affirmation bag (the field 4=0010 that withholds is returned to VC in the back withholing, field 5=0600, field 6=2100, field 8=0001).VC sends write off application bag (field 4=0013, field 5=0600, field 6=2100 to the account platform then, field 8=0001), after the account platform writes off, return for the VC platform and write off and confirm bag (field 4=0014, field 5=0600, field 6=2100, field 8=0001).So far the user has finished that calling remits money by bank realizes the business supplement with money.
With the 3rd example class seemingly, in the 4th example, if the user wishes to pay rather than remit money by bank by for example debit card of 200 cards to pay, so all source node numberings, just field 5 is revised as 1001 and gets final product.Certainly, if 200 card number service are provided by VC, the message interaction process between VC and the account platform is actually in VC inside and handles so, and that is to say does not need to send corresponding message, but is directly handled by VC.
As for the user is to wish to pay or to remit money by bank by debit card to pay, the user can select unified the access in the voice suggestion of hearing behind the telephone number of dialing VC, corresponding then input paying card number and password or Bank Account Number and password get final product, therefore, the present invention provides very large convenience by unified charging payment business is provided to the user.
In the present invention, support this locality to supplement with money and recharging at different places for supplementing with money, if supplement with money this locality, supplement with money by the TCP/IP mode when just the physical distance between account platform and charging payment platform is closer, if recharging at different places is supplemented with money by the mode of Signaling System Number 7 net when just the physical distance between account platform and charging payment platform is distant.No matter being by TCP/IP mode or the mode by the Signaling System Number 7 net, all is transparent for the user.
Except basic charging payment operation, operations such as the system that charging payment is unified in realization according to the present invention can also finish that bill inquiry, bill are stopped payment, password is revised, the cycle of paying dues is set, debit card balance transfer, reconciliation, because these operations are basic identical for the operating process of existing independent charging payment, describe in detail no longer one by one here.
Therefore be appreciated that specific embodiment just further describes of the present invention, can not be in order to restriction the present invention, all any modification, replacement and improvement of being done within the spirit and principles in the present invention etc. all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
