Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a content integration charging system and a method thereof for a non-standard protocol-

The present invention relates to a content integration charging system and method for integrated charging based on a nonstandard protocol. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for content integration charging for a non-standard protocol- Identification information, and service result information), generates integrated charging data for the information usage fee and data call fee by analyzing the detailed contents information inserted in the extended area at the time of integrated charging, and performs charging processing according to the predetermined charging rate , It is possible to integrate and manage the wireless Internet billing data separated by the information usage fee and the data call fee into one wireless Internet billing data and to provide a nonstandard protocol based service which can quickly respond to billing information, Content packet generation chapter for integrated billing And a content integration charging server and method thereof.

The billing process for the general data service is divided into the data call fee for the use of wireless Internet data and the information usage fee charged for using the contents.

The wireless Internet data can be divided into the wireless Internet service and the general service by the service type. The packet related to the wireless Internet service includes a video on demand (VOD) that provides a desired image at a desired time, a text using a wireless application protocol (WAP), a small capacity multimedia service (e.g., WIPI Based download content, flash based services, etc.).

Meanwhile, the billing processing method for each content will be described in the standard protocol.

First, the WAP protocol provides a wireless Internet service through a WAP gateway (GW) so that a user can use the Internet while moving through a user terminal. The WAP protocol includes a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > WAP < / RTI > The user terminal accesses the initial page of the IMS (Integrated Menu Server) through the WAP gateway and accesses the product page of the external content providing server (CP). According to the product request of the user terminal, the external content providing server generates billing data for the information usage fee and transmits the billing data to the CPBS (Content Prebilling System). The billing generation standard charges the information fee charging standard based on DCMF_PID (Digital Content Management Framework Packet Identifier) included in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Here, since the WAP protocol uses a connectless based request and response scheme, there is a problem that even if the client of the user terminal does not receive a response, it can be charged.

Next, a VOD streaming service is a service in which a user transmits content in units of packets immediately after a buffering time of a short time when a user requests a content, and the corresponding content is not stored in the user terminal. Such a streaming service has an advantage that the user can view the streaming service without waiting until the downloading is completed. The streaming server inquires VOD content and provides a content streaming service. And the streaming server generates billing data and transmits it to CPBS. If the billing generation standard is examined, the information fee charging standard is charged based on the product ID (DCMF_PID) for each content. It is possible to map through the content ID. Here, the streaming service has a problem that it is difficult to determine the end time of the session when the user stops the content request in the middle of the streaming.

Next, the VOD download service refers to a service in which a user connects to a download server to download and play back the video content. In the case of the streaming service, the image quality may be degraded according to the state of the network, while the download service has an advantage that the video service can be stably provided. The download server inquires the VOD contents and provides a content download service. Then, the download server generates billing data and transmits it to the CPBS. If the billing generation standard is examined, the information fee charging standard is charged based on the product ID (DCMF_PID) for each content. It is possible to map through the content ID. The VOD download service has a problem in that it is difficult to determine the end time of the session when the download is interrupted in the middle.

The multimedia service (MMS) is a wireless messaging service added to the EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) and includes video, text, image, audio, video, It is a service that delivers multimedia messages. MMS is currently being used in the MO (Message Oriented Service) service, which sends color SMS, phone pattern, and SMS to a computer or a server, and receives an SMS response to the SMS. The billing generation specification determines the kind of attachment by SUB_SVC_TYPE and charges the determined amount. For example, 30 won is charged for text (e.g., plain text), 25 won for text (e.g., Plus Plus, Welfare Plus, etc.), and 100 won for multimedia data combined with text and multimedia.

Meanwhile, a conventional packet data processing method for charging is as follows.

For data call charges, IUX (Internet Usage Extractor) or W-IUX collects packet data in the communication network and classifies the service type for the collected packets to generate billing data (CDR: Call Detail Record) for data call charges . Here, IUX or W-IUX distinguishes service types through non-standard protocol header information in L3 and L4 stacks based on source IP address and destination IP address and source port and destination port for most services. On the other hand, regarding the information usage fee for the same content, the content providing server generates billing data for the content usage fee for each content.

As described above, the conventional information use fee and data call charge processing method each process billing data for data call charges and charge data for information usage fees, respectively, generated by different servers. That is, the conventional billing processing method is binary for the same contents, and billing data for the same contents are generated and processed by different servers, respectively, so that the procedure and structure are complicated. Various demands have been raised to provide integrated information for a single content, but additional inefficient, inaccurate and time-consuming countermeasures are needed.

In addition, there has been an increasing incidence of user complaints related to per-content packet billing. Due to the complex billing approach, it is difficult to resolve user requirements immediately, which is delaying customer response. Due to the complicated billing structure in the conventional billing processing system, it is not possible to accurately collect the purchase information of the user using the content product, and the flexibility of the marketing policy is lacking.
