Description

计费网络和计费代理装置及计费方法
技术领域
本发明涉及计费技术领域, 特别是指一种计费网络、 一种计费代理 装置和一种计费方法。 发明背景
目前, 无线通信系统的发展非常迅速, 尤其是随着 GPRS系统和 3G 通信系统的规模应用,业务种类越来越多。 由于每种业务都涉及到计费, 而不同业务计费方式也往往不同, 所以每个涉及到计费的业务服务组件 都需要与计费系统连接进行交互, 以实现对业务的计费。
现有技术中的计费网络中主要包括多个业务服务组件, 和多个计费 系统。业务服务组件是指业务服务器,可以是多媒体消息中心(MMSC )、 基于蜂窝系统的即按即讲服务器(POC Server ) 、 Presence服务器、 位 置服务器、 游戏服务器、 即时消息服务器(IM Server )或个人信息管理 服务器(PIM Server )等。 计费系统包括在线计费系统和离线计费系统, 其中在线计费系统可以是运营商域的智能网计费系统、 或互联网域的信 用卡付费系统, 离线计费系统可以是运营支撑系统(OSS ) 、 计费支撑 系统(BSS )等。此外,该网络中还可以包括如归属用户服务器(HSS )、 归属位置寄存器(HLR )和客服管理系统等, 业务服务组件可以与这些 设备进行信息交互获取相关信息。
现有技术中, 业务服务组件直接与计费系统连接进行交互实现计 费。 由于向业务月 I务组件发起业务的用户, 通常具有不同的用户属性和 账号属性, 如签约后付费用户, 预付费用户, 信用卡账号用户, 运营商 计费系统虛拟个人账号用户等, 而不同的用户所发起的业务需要业务服 务组件与不同的计费系统进行交互以实现计费, 因此业务服务組件通常 需要与多个计费系统相连接。
在图 1所示的计费网络中, 包括四个业务服务组件:业务服务组件 1、 业务服务组件 2、 业务服务组件 3、 业务服务组件 4和三个计费系统: 计 费系统 1、 计费系统 2、 计费系统 3, 以及 HLR、 HSS和客户服务中心。 其 中,计费系统可能为离线计费系统,在线计费系统, 可位于不同运营商, 或位于不同的地理区域。 可以看出在这样的计费网络中, 业务服务组件 直接与计费系统和 HLR、 HSS,客户服务中心等系统进行连接后很复杂, 并且每个业务服务组件为与这些系统进行连接, 所需要设置的接口也非 常多, 导致了业务服务组件自身的复杂度也比较高。
随着通信业务的发展, 用户属性和账户属性越来越多, 要求业务服 务组件与越来越多的计费系统相连接, 导致了现有的计费网络越来越复 杂。 而各个业务服务组件与计费系统之间都是直接进行交互, 也降低了 计费网络的安全性, 尤其对于业务服务组件与互联网域的计费系统进行 交互的情况下, 直接在运营商域与互联网域之间进行交互, 必然会造成 整个运营商域安全性的下降。 并且, 由于业务服务组件与计费系统直接 进行连接, 无法实现整合和关联来自多个业务服务组件的计费信息进行 计费。
在各种网络的部署中, 同样也存在多种接口并存的情况, 如 OMA, 3GPP, 3GPP2, ITU, IETF均研究同样功能的接口协议, 业务组件或计 费系统在不支持同一组织接口规范的情况下, 也存在接口协议的适配和 转换问题, 难以实现平滑的对接和互通。
以上是对现有技术中, 对于实现业务计费的网络组成的说明。 基于 上述网络组成, 现有技术的计费流程如图 2所示, 具体步驟如下:
步骤 201、 业务服务组件在生成计费事件后, 对用户进行鉴权, 即 户对业务资源具有使用权限并且用户合法, 则鉴权成功执行步骤 202; 否则执行步驟 212;
本步骤中, 业务服务组件可以是根据自身存储的信息对用户进行鉴 权, 也可以是通过与其他如客户服务中心、 HSS或 HLR等外部设备进行 交互获取相关信息对用户进行鉴权;
步驟 202、 业务服务组件 4艮据用户信息确定用户的计费方式和对^ 的计费系统, 并判断该计费方式是否为在线计费, 如果是执行步骤 203; 否则执行步骤 210;
确定用户的计费方式和对应的计费系统可以是业务服务组件才艮据 自身存储的信息获取, 也可以是与其他如客户服务中心、 HSS或 HLR等 外部设备进行交互获取;
步驟 203、 业务 ϋ良务组件获取费率信息; 本步骤中业务服务组件可 以是从自身获取费率信息, 也可以是业务服务组件从其他的如计费引 擎, 既业务费率信息数据库或对应的在线计费系统等处获取费率信息; 步骤 204、 根据获取的费率信息, 对用户的信用进行认证, 即判断 该次消费是否超过预先设置的消费限额, 如果没有超过预先设置的消费 限额执行步骤 205; 否则执行步驟 209;
预先设置的消费限额, 可以是系统或用户预先设置在业务服务组件 中的, 也可以是系统或用户预先设置在在线计费系统等外部相关系统中 的;
步驟 205、 根据获取的费率相关信息生成预扣请求信息发送给对应 的在线计费系统;
步驟 206、 在线计费系统接收到业务服务组件发送的计费事件, 并 在进行扣费完毕后, 向业务服务组件返回预扣确认消息; 步骤 207、 业务服务组件在接收到预扣确认消息后, 继续进行业务, 业务执行完毕后, 业务月良务组件统计该次业务的总计消费额度, 并计算 未消费完额度, 然后将包括未消费完额度的信息发送给对应的在线计费 系统;
在本步骤中, 如果业务执行完之前, 业务服务组件判断出预扣金额 已经使用完毕, 则再次向对应的在线计费系统发送预扣请求消息, 然后 在线计费系统接收到该消息后, 继续执行步骤 205及其后步骤;
步骤 208、 在线计费系统在接收到包括未消费完额度的信息后, 将 未消费完额度返回给对应账户, 然后结束本流程;
步骤 209、 向用户返回信用不足, 拒绝继续进行业务的消息, 然后 结束本流程;
步驟 210、 业务服务组件获取费率信息; 本步骤中业务服务组件可 以是从自身获取费率信息, 也可以是业务服务组件从其他的如计费引擎 即业务费率信息数据库, 或对应的离线计费系统等设备中获取费率信 息;
步骤 211、 根据获取的费率信息生成计费请求信息发送给对应的离 线计费系统, 对应的离线计费系统在接收到计费请求消息后, 根据该消 息在相应账户中扣除对应金额, 然后结束本流程。
步骤 212、 业务服务组件向用户返回鉴权失败消息, 结束该业务, 然后结束本流程。
在执行上述步骤 211之前, 业务服务组件也可以对用户信用进行认 证, 具体的实现方法与在线计费相同, 这里不再详细说明。
在上述计费流程中, 需要业务服务組件对用户进行鉴权, 以及获取 费率信息, 进行信用认证等, 在这些过程中, 由于需要将相关信息设置 在业务服务组件自身, 或者需要业务服务组件从其他相关设备处获得相 关信息, 都增加了业务服务组件的复杂度。
另外, 对于将相关信息设置在业务服务组件自身的情况, 每个业务 服务组件都要分別存储与自身相关的各种信息, 无法实现信息共享, 导 致了大量信息的重复设置, 浪费了资源; 对于业务服务组件从其他设备 处获得相关信息的情况, 每个业务服务组件都需要与进行交互的设备建 立直接连接, 也进一步增加了计费网络组成的复杂度。 发明内容

在本实施例中, 计费代理装置的组成结构如图 4所示, 其中包括接 口协议转换模块 400、鉴权模块 410、路由分发模块 420、计费模块 430、 信用控制模块 440和数据存储模块 450。
接口协议转换模块 400用于计费代理装置与外部的各种设备进行通 信, 其中包括了与计费网络中其他设备进行通信的各种接口。 其中, 计 费代理装置与业务服务组件之间的接口 401可以采用已有的标准接口, 该接口将计费代理装置与业务组件之间的接口消息进行适配和转换, 以 转换为计费系统所能识别的消息 ,接入计费系统,该接口可以是 Parley X 接口, Web Service接口, 也可以根据具体网络环境, 采用其他的内部标 准接口; 计费代理装置与离线计费系统之间的接口 402, 可以采用 FTP 接口、 SFTP接口、 FTAM接口等。 计费代理装置与在线计费系统的接 口 403, 可以采用移动网增强逻辑的客户化应用 (CAMEL ) 3接口、 Diameter接口或远程访问拨号用户月良务(Radius )接口等。 由于上述接 口以及计费代理装置与其他设备接口的具体实现属于本领域的公知技 术, 这里不再对其进行详细说明。
此外, 鉴权模块 410用于根据接口协议转换模块 400接收的计费事 件中的用尸信息, 与数据存储模块 450中的鉴权信息, 或与通过接口协 议转换模块 400与外部系统进行交互获取的鉴权信息, 判断用户对业务 资源的使用权限, 判断用户的合法性等。
路由分发模块 420 , 用于根据接口协议转换模块 400接收的计费事 件中的用户信息, 与数据存储模块 450中的相关信息, 或与通过接口协 议转换模块 400与外部系统进行交互获取的相关信息, 确定该计费事件 对应的计费方式和计费系统。

信用控制模块 440, 用于根据接口协议转换模块 400接收的计费事 件中的用户信息、 计费模块 430获取的费率信息, 对该次消费是否超过 数据存储模块 450中预先设置的消费限额, 或是否超过通过接口协议转 换模块 400与外部系统进行交互获取的预先设置的消费限额进行信用认 证。
数据存储模块 450, 用于存储相关数据, 以及与上述各个模块进行 交互, 向各个模块提供相关信息。 由于业务月 l务組件与计费代理装置、 计费系统等交互实现计费的流 程对于不同的业务服务组件基本相同, 所以下面仅以业务服务组件为多 媒体消息服务器为例, 对通过本实施例计费网络实现的计费流程进行进 一步说明。
多媒体消息服务器在业务开始或业务进行过程中, 产生计费事件 后, 对业务进行计费的流程如图 5所示, 具体步骤如下:

步骤 510、 计费代理装置在接收到预扣确认消息后, 计费代理装置 向多媒体消息服务器返回消息通知多媒体消息服务器继续进行业务; 步骤 511、 多媒体消息服务器接收到继续进行业务的消息后, 继续 进行业务, 并在业务完毕后, 向计费代理装置发送消息通知该次业务结 束;
如果在业务完毕之前, 计费代理装置判断出预扣的金额消费完毕 后, 则重新执行上述步骤 506及其后流程, 直至业务结束;
步驟 512、 计费代理装置接收到业务结束的消息后, 计算该次业务 的累积消费金额, 并计算未消费完额度, 然后将本次业务的未消费完额 度通知对应的在线计费系统, 在线计费系统接收到包括未消费完额度的 消息后, 将未消费完额度补回对应的账户, 然后结束本流程; 步骤 513、 计费代理装置在接收到预扣失败消息后, 向多媒体消息 服务器返回消息通知其业务失败, 多媒体消息服务器接收到该消息后, 向用户返回拒绝业务进行消息, 结束该业务, 然后结束本流程;
步骤 514、 计费代理装置向多媒体消息服务器返回信用不足消息, 多媒体消息服务器在接收到该消息后, 向用户返回信用不足, 拒绝继续 进行业务的消息, 结束该业务, 然后结束本流程;
步驟 515、 计费代理装置获取费率信息; 本步骤中计费代理装置可 以是从自身获取费率信息, 也可以是计费代理装置与其他的如计费引 擎, 即业务费率信息数据库或对应的离线计费系统等设备进行交互获取 费率信息;
步驟 516、 根据获取的费率相关信息生成计费请求信息发送给对应 的离线计费系统, 离线计费系统在接收到该消息后, 在相应的账户中扣 除对应金额, 然后结束本流程;
步驟 517、计费代理装置向多媒体消息服务中心返回鉴权失败消息, 多媒体消息服务器在接收到该消息后, 向用户返回鉴权失败, 拒绝继续 进行业务的消息, 结束该业务, 然后结束本流程。
在本实施例中, 在离线计费方式中计费代理装置也可以对用户的信 用进行判断, 即在执行步骤 516之前, 对该次消费是否超过预先设置的 消费限额进行判断,如果没有超过预先设置的消费限额则执行步聚 516; 否则计费代理装置向多媒体消息服务器返回信用不足消息, 计费代理装 置在接收到该消息后, 向用户返回信用不足拒绝业务消息后, 结束该业 务。 在离线计费方式中, 预先设置的消费限额, 可以是系统或用户预先 设置在计费代理装置中的, 也可以是系统或用户预先设置在对应的离线 计费系统等外部相关系统中的。 在本实施例中, 计费代理装置还可以实现关联来自不同业务服务组 件的计费事件, 即计费代理装置记录所接收的计费事件中的业务标识, 并在生成计费请求之前判断是否记录了相同的业务标识, 如果是则对记 录的相同业务标识对应的计费事件所获取的费率信息进行整合, 生成一 个计费请求消息发送给对应的计费系统。 具体的整合逻辑可以根据不同 的业务、 不同的情况灵活设定, 在本发明中不再详细阐述。 例如, 在某 个业务中, 用户同时与位置服务器和游戏服务器进行交互, 位置服务器 和游戏服务器分别产生计费事件发送给计费代理装置, 计费代理装置在 接收到两个计费事件后, 才艮据两个计费事件中的业务标识判断出同属于 一个业务中的计费事件, 则对针对两个计费事件分别获取的费率信息进 行整合, 生成一个计费请求消息发送给对应的计费系统。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已, 并不用以限制本发明, 凡 在本发明的精神和原则之内, 所做的任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均 应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
