Description

A kind of charge correlation method of applied business and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the applied business billing technology, particularly a kind of charge correlation method of applied business and system.
Background technology
At present, realized diversified applied business in communication system, concrete communicating medium mode comprises: text, voice, video and multimedia combination etc.Applied business can be divided into two classes again substantially: one, content-based business is as group's state display business, stream medium demand service etc., and application server (AS) by the modes such as request that initiatively issue or respond the user user is subscribed to or the media content of program request sends to subscriber equipment (UE); Two, conversation-based business is as PTT in the cellular system (PoC) business, meeting (Conference) business etc., and AS sets up session connection respectively with the UE of each participating user and realizes communicating by letter, and this type of business is used in the user of collective usually.
For content-based business, AS all will be assigned with a charging identifier (CID) to the operation that the user sends media content at every turn, and for conversation-based business, the session each time that AS and UE set up also will be assigned with a CID, and each CID that is distributed will be kept in AS and the service carrying network.The charging center will receive the ticket that carries CID from service carrying network and AS, the corresponding ticket of each CID that is distributed, and get up the telephone bill association with identical CID and charge to use unified method in the charging center.Wherein, be the various applied business of internet multimedia subsystem (IMS) for service carrying network, the CID that the is distributed IMS charging identifier (ICID) that is otherwise known as.
But above-mentioned charging way based on CID some problems will occur in actual applications.Be that example describes with conversation-based PoC service below.
One, certain UE will be assigned with an ICID when setting up session with the PoC server first in PoC service process.But when this PoC service process did not also finish, this UE had temporarily withdrawed from this business procedure for a certain reason, added this business procedure afterwards again, and this UE will be assigned with a new ICID.For this UE user, it temporarily withdraws from the session of setting up before the business procedure and adds the session of setting up after this business procedure again, is two inter-related sessions, these two session associations need be got up charge when chargeing.And for the charging center, ICID that these two sessions are corresponding different belong to uncorrelated session, if these two session associations are got up, the charging center also will be added up according to the user profile in the middle of the ticket etc.
Here, a so-called PoC service process is exactly the PoC service communication process that a PoC session group sets up, this service communication process is made up of a plurality of PoC session, each participates in the PoC session of user's correspondence self of current PoC service communication, and each PoC session can be described as a business for unique user.Associated services described herein that is to say all at unique user: each session that user and AS set up all can be described as a business, and the user sends subscribe request at every turn also can regard a business as to the AS that content service is provided.
Two if get up to charge with the binding session of each UE of comprising in the PoC service process, and can only at first charge based on ICID in the charging center, and then add up according to group information etc.
More than the charging method of two kinds of situations very easily produce mistakes such as repeating to charge, leak chargings, brought harmful effect to fail safe, the reliability of billing operation, also reduced user satisfaction.
In addition, for increasing service flexibility, abundant business function, operator or service provider can increase other application server (AS) outside the PoC server, think that PoC service provides supplementary service.Such as: presence states server (Presence Server) is set in the PoC service network, and this PresenceServer can provide group's status display function for the user in the PoC service process; In addition, also location server can be set, so that positional information of each participating user or the like to be provided.Like this, operator or service provider may release the binding charging policy of some PoC service and supplementary service.But, based on existing ICID billing technology, will be more complicated with the charge associated processing logic of PoC service and supplementary service, inevitably various billing errors will appear, and make the development difficulty of charging center bigger, do not possess exploitativeness even.
Not only PoC service the problems referred to above can occur in charging process, and other applied business such as Conference business etc. all has similar charging problem to exist.As seen, existing charge correlation method based on CID, only same user each operative association in a session can be got up, can't related same user each session in business procedure, more can't related one or more business procedures, these have become the key technical problem that needs to be resolved hurrily in the applied business development.

Embodiment
The invention discloses a kind of charge correlation method of applied business, this method has proposed a kind of being used for miscellaneous service has been carried out charge associated charging identifier, service billing sign (SCID), the main processing thought of this method is: when the business that receives or send the user is set up request, whether judgement has been assigned with SCID with the associated services of current business, if then extract SCID that described associated services has been assigned with SCID as current business; Otherwise for current business is distributed new SCID.The charging related entities of charging center from business network receives each ticket that carries SCID, and the ticket with identical SCID is unified to charge.
Wherein, can set in advance the associated services that the associated services strategy disposes current business.Such as: if each user in the PoC service process is bound charging, the associated services strategy then can be set be: each PoC session that same PoC server and each user set up in PoC service process is an associated services; And if PoC service and group's state display business that same user is used are bound charging, the associated services strategy then will be set be: PoC service and group's state display business of same user and PoC server and the foundation of presence states (Presence) server are associated services.
Because, the existing application service billing related aspect, the problem that PoC service occurs is the typical case the most, is example below with the PoC service to the inventive method detailed description in addition.
Fig. 1 is the inventive method first preferred embodiment handling process schematic diagram.As shown in Figure 1, the concrete processing comprises:
Step 101: subscriber equipment (UE) sends professional foundation by the service carrying network under self and asks the server to PoC, and personal user's sign, group identification etc. are carried in the request of setting up of this business.
For PoC service, the professional request of setting up is exactly invitation (INVITE) message of SIP, and service carrying network is exactly IMS.
Step 102:PoC server judges according to the INVITE that receives whether the associated services of the PoC session of current foundation has been assigned with SCID, if the SCID of associated services that then extracts this PoC session is as the SCID of this PoC session; Otherwise for this PoC session distributes new SCID.
Wherein, can preserve the associated services strategy in advance, the corresponding relation between user ID and the associated services strategy also will be set simultaneously.Therefore, the PoC server may be read into corresponding associated services strategy according to the user ID in the INVITE, determines the associated services of current business, thereby judges whether determined associated services has been assigned with SCID.How to read the method for associated services information about the PoC server, belong to known technology, be not described further here.This associated services strategy comprises: one or more professional information that are mutually related, and as service identification, AS address or the like.
Development trend by present applied business, described associated services strategy comprises three kinds substantially: one, in business procedure, each session that same user and same AS set up is an associated services, then this step is judged as: judge that whether the active user once set up session with this PoC server, and whether this session of once setting up has been assigned with SCID in this business procedure; Two, in business procedure, each session that same AS and each user set up is an associated services, then this step is judged as: whether in this business procedure have user once with PoC server set up session, and whether this session of once setting up has been assigned with SCID if judging.Three, the business of same user and one or more AS foundation is an associated services, the business that present embodiment is set same user and PoC server and presence server foundation is an associated services, then this step is judged as: judge whether the user once set up business with presence server, and whether this once had been assigned with SCID with the business that presence server is set up.Certainly, more than the associated services that is provided with in two kinds of associated services strategies can be not limited to in business procedure, the PoC session that can also be provided with in the different business process is an associated services, such as: it is associated services or the like with each session that same AS sets up in some different business procedures that same user is set, and the present invention does not limit this.To such an extent as to the associated services because personal user, group of a certain group might contract is so user ID of the present invention can broad understanding be: personal user's sign or group identification or group's sign.Corresponding relation between described associated services strategy and user ID and the associated services strategy can independently be preserved, and also can be kept in the subscription data, and described subscription data is generally held in the interior home signature user server (HSS) of IMS.
Wherein, distributed after the SCID for current business at every turn, can be inserted into the SCID that is distributed in the current business information in the associated services strategy.Therefore, in the step 102, the PoC server reads the associated services strategy, just can judge by whether there being SCID in the associated services information of judging current business in this associated services strategy whether the associated services of current business has been assigned with SCID.
Step 103:PoC server returns the 200 OK message of carrying the SCID that step 102 extracts or distribute and gives IMS, and IMS preserves the SCID that receives, and business and this SCID of current foundation associated.Here, the PoC server sends to IMS by this response message of 200OK with SCID usually, but also can or send SCID separately to IMS by other message, and the present invention does not limit this.
Step 104:IMS transmits the described 200OK message of step 103 and gives UE.Wherein, send to UE after the deletion of the SCID in the 200OK message that step 103 can be received.
When adopting the third associated services strategy, need the user when setting up PoC service, to set up group's state display business usually with presence server, therefore, and also can be after step 102, execution in step 103 ' in execution in step 103.Here, the present invention does not limit step 103 and step 103 ' execution sequence.
Step 103 ': the PoC server sends the professional foundation request of SCID that step 102 is distributed of carrying to presence server; to start group's state display business; this service request is usually based on Session Initiation Protocol, and comprises two parts: notice (Notify) message and subscription (Subscribe) message.Presence server is preserved the SCID that receives, with the SCID of this SCID as current business, after finishing group's state display business configuration, to return 200OK message and give the PoC server, this 200OK message can be carried described SCID, can not carry this SCID, the present invention does not limit yet.
Here, Notify message is used for the online situation to presence server issue current UE, and Subscribe message is used for subscribing to the state information that other participates in session subscriber to presence server.The PoC server sends to presence server by Notify and Subscribe message with SCID usually, and can trigger the process of setting up of associated services simultaneously, but can or send SCID separately to presence server by other message, the present invention does not limit this yet.
Because, comprise PoC service and group's state display business information such as corresponding service sign, AS address respectively in the associated services strategy that reads in the step 102, therefore, the PoC server can be determined the address of presence server according to the associated services strategy, thereby the business request of setting up can be sent to presence server by this address.The address of described presence server can be any form, such as: address of IP address or Domain Name Form registering sites or the like.
Step 103 ' in, the PoC server sends the business of carrying SCID and sets up request to presence server.Therefore, when adopting described the third associated services strategy, in the step 102, whether the PoC server carries the SCID that SCID just can judge whether the associated services of current business has been assigned with by the business request of setting up of judging current reception.And, when judgement has been assigned with SCID, from current business foundation request, extract the SCID of SCID as current business.
Each charging related entities: IMS, PoC server and presence server etc. in the business network, when distributing or receiving SCID, the professional call list of current foundation of respectively doing for oneself is given the charging center, and each ticket carries SCID separately, unifies to charge to the ticket with identical SCID in the charging center.Because each associated services that the associated services strategy is described is assigned with same SCID,, bind charging policy with the multi-service that realizes operator or service provider so can unify to charge in the charging center to these associated services.
Among the above embodiment, when adopting the third associated services strategy, the business that these two AS of same user and PoC server and presence server set up is an associated services.Among the present invention, also can set the business that same user and plural AS set up is associated services, such as: the associated services of forming by PoC service, group's state display business, location service three.In present applied business developing stage, same user can be with associated services between the different AS: this combination in any of PoC service, Conference business, group's state display business, location service; Accordingly, the AS of each associated services can be: this combination in any of PoC server, Conference server, presence server, location server.And when first kind of employing or second kind of associated services strategy, the business of user's foundation is PoC service or Conference business usually, and like this, the AS of current business just refers to PoC server or Conference server.
When the associated services of current business had two or more, the AS of current business such as the PoC server among Fig. 1 should send service request to the associated services AS of each current business, start each associated services.Because at the handling principle of each associated services AS, in step 102, the step 103 of Fig. 1 ' and step 103 in detailed description is arranged, therefore, detailed description no longer one by one.
In addition, the described processing of step 102 is not limited in the PoC server to be carried out, and also can carry out in the service carrying network under the active user, and this processing is done in independent even set handling unit.When the described processing of step 102 when IMS or the independent processing unit that is provided with carry out, this method is handled with Fig. 1 described basic identical, carries out brief description below in conjunction with Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
Fig. 2 is the inventive method second preferred embodiment handling process schematic diagram.As shown in Figure 2, the concrete processing comprises:
Step 201:UE sends the service carrying network of INVITE under self, and this service carrying network is exactly IMS.
Step 202:IMS judges according to the INVITE that receives whether the associated services with current business has been assigned with SCID, if then extract SCID that described associated services has been assigned with the SCID as the PoC session of current foundation; Otherwise the PoC session that is current foundation distributes new SCID.
Wherein, IMS can determine which associated services the PoC session of current foundation has by reading the associated services strategy, and judges whether the associated services of this PoC session has been assigned with SCID.Here described similar with Fig. 1, can judge according to the associated services strategy, also can whether carry SCID and judge according to the request of setting up of the business that receives.This step can be undertaken this step process by service call conversation control function (S-CSCF) entity among the IMS.
Step 203:IMS sends the INVITE of the SCID that carries step 202 distribution or extract to the PoC server, the PoC server is preserved the SCID that receives, with the SCID of this SCID as the PoC session of current foundation, return 200OK message and give IMS, this 200OK message can be carried described SCID, can not carry this SCID, the present invention does not limit yet.Here, IMS sends to the PoC server by INVITE with SCID usually, but also can or send SCID separately to the PoC server by other message, and the present invention does not limit this.
Step 204:IMS transmits the described 200OK message of step 203 and gives UE.
Described similar with Fig. 1, when adopting the third associated services strategy, also can be after step 202, execution in step 203 ' in execution in step 203.Here, the present invention does not limit step 203 and step 203 ' execution sequence.
Step 203 ': IMS sends the business of carrying the described SCID of step 202 to presence server and sets up request, and to start group's state display business, this service request comprises: Notify message and Subscribe message.Presence server is preserved the SCID that receives, the business association of this SCID and current foundation is got up, finish and return 200OK message to IMS after group's state display business disposes, this 200OK message can be carried described SCID, can not carry this SCID, the present invention does not limit yet.
Here, the present invention does not limit step 203 and step 203 ' execution sequence.In addition, IMS sends to presence server by Notify and Subscribe message with SCID usually, and can trigger the process of setting up of associated services simultaneously, but also can or send SCID separately by other message to presence server, the present invention does not limit this.
Equally, the charging center can receive the ticket that each carries SCID from IMS, PoC server and presence server, and the ticket with identical SCID is unified to charge, and is charge associated to realize.
Fig. 3 is the inventive method the 3rd preferred embodiment handling process schematic diagram.Present embodiment is provided with independently charge associated unit (CCU, Charging Correlation Unit) on service carrying network IMS.As shown in Figure 3, the concrete processing comprises:
Step 301:UE sends INVITE to CCU by the IMS under self.
Step 302:CCU judges according to the INVITE that receives whether the associated services with current business has been assigned with SCID, if then extract SCID that described associated services has been assigned with the SCID as the PoC session of current foundation; Otherwise the PoC session that is current foundation distributes new SCID.
Wherein, CCU can determine which associated services the PoC session of current foundation has by reading the associated services strategy, and judges whether the associated services of this PoC session has been assigned with SCID.Here described similar with Fig. 1, can judge according to the associated services strategy, also can whether carry SCID and judge according to the request of setting up of the business that receives.
Step 303:CCU sends the INVITE of the SCID that carries step 302 distribution or extract to the PoC server, the PoC server is preserved the SCID that receives, with the SCID of this SCID as the PoC session of current foundation, return 200OK message and give IMS, this 200OK message can be carried described SCID, can not carry this SCID, the present invention does not limit yet.Here, CCU sends to the PoC server by INVITE with SCID usually, but also can or send SCID separately to the PoC server by other message, and the present invention does not limit this.
Step 304:CCU returns the 200OK message of the SCID that carries step 302 distribution and gives IMS.
Step 305:IMS transmits this 200OK message and gives UE.Wherein.But IMS also returns to UE after the deletion of the SCID in the 200OK message.
Described similar with Fig. 1, when adopting the third associated services strategy, also can be after step 302, execution in step 303 ' in execution in step 303.Here, the present invention does not limit step 303 and step 303 ' execution sequence.
Step 303 ': CCU sends the business of carrying the described SCID of step 302 to presence server and sets up request, and to start group's state display business, this service request comprises: Notify message and Subscribe message.Presence server is preserved the SCID that receives, with the SCID of this SCID as the business of current foundation, and return 200OK message and give IMS after finishing group's state display business configuration, this 200OK message can be carried described SCID, can not carry this SCID, the present invention does not limit yet.
Here, the execution sequence that the present invention does not limit step 303 and step 303 ' execution sequence and step 304 and step 303 '.In addition, CCU sends to presence server by Notify and Subscribe message with SCID usually, and can trigger the process of setting up of associated services simultaneously, but also can or send SCID separately by other message to presence server, the present invention does not limit this.
