Description

对用户终端账户进行充值的
方法以及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及电信技术， 尤其涉及电信网络中的充值技术。 背景技术
在目前的电信网络中， 4艮大一部分的用户终端用户， 特别是手机用 户选择对他们的手机帐户进行在线计费， 即通过购买充值卡或者在网上 充值等方式进行预付费， 而不是通过接收每月帐单并支付帐单的方式后 付费。 这是由于预付费不用考虑每月的帐单以及签约事务， 并且能够比 较自由地规划自己的话费开销。
但是， 预付费的充值方式的缺点在于手机帐户中如果没有余额， 则 除了能够呼叫某些紧急电话（例如求救电话）夕卜， 不能进行任何通话。 很多用户都体验过这样一种情形： 当他们正想进行一些重要的通话时， 却由于预付的话费用光而无法进行这些通话； 或者正在进行一些重要的 通话时，预付的话费不足。充值卡等预付费途径不可能由用户随时获得， 例如用户可能身在陌生的城市中， 无法找到充值卡销售点； 或者用户正 在乘坐火车， 无法上网等。 这就导致该用户无法进行充值， 十分不便。
不仅如此， 为了销售充值卡， 运营商需要将实体的充值卡分发到所 辖范围内的各个零售点进行销售， 这增加了运营商的运营成本。
公开号为 CN1365223A的专利申请公开了一种移动预付费业务的 充值方法， 在该方法中， 使用 200/300卡等固定智能网的电话卡对移动 网的电话卡进行充值。 可见， 该披露的技术方案中， 如果无法获取到固 定智能网的预付电话卡， 也就无法对手机帐户进行充值。 而在现实生活 中， 固定智能网的预付电话卡与手机充值卡类似，也是需要预先购买的， 并且不可能随时随地获得。 因此， 这种充值方式并未在根本上改善对预 付费用户终端账户的充值不便。 并且， 固定智能网的预付电话卡的分发 和销售也增加了运营商的运营成本。 发明内容
可见， 在现有的预付费充值方式中， 在充值卡或预付卡等预付费 途径对用户来说不可用时， 用户终端账户无法得到充值。 并且， 在基 于充值卡的预付费充值方式中，运营商分发和销售充值卡或预付卡增 力口了运营成本。
本发明的构思在于， 在预付费途径不可用时， 对用户终端账户充 值， 并将该充值记入后付费的主账户应缴的帐务中。
在本发明的第一个方面中，提出了一种为用户终端账户充值的方 法， 包括如下步骤： 管理该用户终端帐户与充值所基于的主账户的对 应关系， 该主账户根据该主账户已进行通话的账务后缴纳话费， 对该 用户终端帐户进行的充值能够被记入到该主账户应缴的帐务中； 基于 该对应关系， 确定是否对该用户终端帐户进行充值并将充值记入到该 主账户应缴的帐务中； 当确定进行充值时， 对该用户终端帐户进行充 值并将充值记入到该主账户应缴的帐务中。
根据这一方面， 提供了一种新的用户终端账户的充值机制， 增加 了充值的灵活性。 特别是在预付费途径不可用时， 本发明的这一方面 仍然能够对用户终端账户进行充值。 并且本发明的这一方面省去了运 营商建立预付费途径， 例如分发和销售充值卡的成本。
根据一个优选的实施方式， 该确定步骤包括如下步骤： 接收充值 请求， 该请求用于请求对本用户终端帐户进行充值并将该充值记入到 一特定账户应缴的帐务中； 根据所管理的该用户终端帐户与对应主账 户的对应关系， 判断该特定帐户是否与该用户终端账户的对应主账户 一致， 当一致时确定对该用户终端帐户进行充值并将充值记入到该主 账户应缴的帐务中。 该实施方式中， 该方法能够根据用户的充值请求 对用户终端进行充值， 增加了充值的灵活性。
根据另一个优选的实施方式， 该确定步骤包括如下步骤： 在预定 条件满足时， 向该用户终端发送充值提醒消息； 接收相应于该充值提 醒消息的、 对该用户终端账户进行充值的确认消息； 根据所管理的该 用户终端帐户与对应主账户的对应关系， 确定对该用户终端帐户进行 充值并将充值记入到该主账户应缴的帐务中。 该实施方式中， 该方法 能够提醒对用户终端账户充值。在用户设置了自动为该充值提醒消息 回复确认消息的情况下， 该方法能够才艮据该确认消息自动地为用户终 端账户充值。 这能够解决在用户无法主动请求充值的情况下对用户终 端账户进行充值的技术问题。 例如， 用户正在进行一个呼叫， 该方法 能够自动充值， 从而避免账户余额不足导致用户正在进行的呼叫被中 止。
在本发明的第二个方面中，提出了一种为用户终端账户充值的系 统， 包括： 管理设备， 用于管理该用户终端帐户与充值所基于的主账 户的对应关系， 该主账户根据该主账户已进行通话的账务后缴纳话 费， 对该用户终端帐户进行的充值能够被记入到该主账户应缴的帐务 中； 处理设备， 用于基于该对应关系， 确定是否对该用户终端帐户进 行充值并将充值记入到该主账户应缴的帐务中； 操作设备， 用于当该 处理设备确定进行充值时， 对该用户终端帐户进行充值并将充值记入 到该主账户应缴的帐务中。 确地阐述。 附图说明
通过阅读参照以下附图所作的对非限制性实施例所作的详细描 述， 本发明的以上及其它特征、 目的和优点将会变得更加明显： 图 1是根据本发明的一个实施方式的、 为手机账户进行充值的系 统 1管理手机账户和固定电话账户的对应关系的框图；
图 2是根据本发明的一个实施方式的、 为手机账户进行充值的系 统 1对手机账户进行充值的框图。
附图中， 相同或者相似的附图标识代表相同或者相似的部件。 具体实施方式
本实施方式以基于后付费的固定电话账户对支持预付费的手机 账户进行充值为例， 对本发明的发明构思进行描述。 本申请中所说的 支持预付费的账户， 是指该账户能够被预付费充值， 但并不限于该账 户仅能够被预付费充值， 该账户也可以同时具有能够被后付费的特 性。 可以理解， 本发明并不限于后付费的固定电话账户， 其他实施方 式也可以使用后付费的手机账户， 例如后付费的中国移动全球通账户 来对支持预付费的手机账户进行充值。
如图 1和图 2所示， 为手机账户进行充值的系统 1包括管理设备 10、 处理设备 12以及操作设备 14。
在充值之前， 出于安全方面的考虑， 管理设备 10应该对该固定 电话账户与手机帐户的对应关系进行管理。 下面首先根据图 1 , 对根 据本发明， 固定电话账户和手机帐户之间的对应关系的管理进行描 述。 管理设备 10用于管理该手机帐户与充值所基于的固定电话账户 的对应关系， 管理设备 10 包括开通控制器、 建立控制器、 设定控制 器、查询控制器和删除控制器。这些部件的功能将在下文中进行描述。
首先， 用户应该开通该充值服务， 并且建立待充值的手机帐户与 该固定电话账户的对应关系。 一种普遍的流程是： 用户先在电信营业 厅申请该业务， 而后用户回到家中自助地开通该业务。
具体的， 首先， 该用户持证明自己是固定电话账户户主的证明， 例如身份证等， 去电信营业厅申请该服务。 电信工作人员在验证该用 户的合法身份后， 可以在系统中设置该固定电话已经申请了该服务， 并向该用户提供一个拨打接入系统 1的接入号码以及该服务的密码， 以供该用户回家后拨打该接入号码并提供该密码从而自助开通该服 务。 该密码在系统 1的数据库中保存下来。
之后， 该用户可以在家中使用他所申请服务的固定电话， 拨打电 信公司提供的接入号码， 经过声讯平台接入到系统 1中。
在步骤 S10中， 开通控制器能够向该用户提供声讯提示， 帮助该 用户输入该密码。 开通控制器根据该用户的呼叫来源， 确定该固定电 话，并根据所保存的对应于该固定电话的密码，对该固定电话拨入的、 请求为该固定电话账户开通本充值服务的请求进行验证。在验证通过 后， 开通控制器 1为该固定电话账户开通本充值服务。
之后， 该用户登录到系统内， 此时该用户能够立即建立该固定电 话账户与一个或多个手机帐户之间的持续的绑定关系。 该用户也可以 挂机， 在之后的时间中再次拨打该接入号码， 并输入密码后登录到系 统内， 再建立绑定关系。
该用户在登录系统 1后， 根据声讯提示进行按键， 请求建立该固 定电话账户与一个或多个手机帐户的绑定关系， 并继续输入这些手机 帐户对应的手机号码， 这些指令统称为建立请求。 在步骤 S12中， 建 立控制器根据该建立请求， 建立该固定电话账户与该至少一个手机帐 户的持续的绑定关系。 这些手机帐户可以包括该用户本人的手机帐 户， 也可以不包括。 优选地， 在该用户提供了用于监控充值服务的该 主用户本人的手机号码的情况下， 系统 1将提示该绑定关系建立的消 息通过短信等方式， 经由短消息平台发送给该主用户的手机号码。
在本实施方式的具体实现中， 系统 1可以包括一个绑定关系数据 库， 该绑定关系数据库中的一个数据项可以用来表示该固定电话账户 与一个手机帐户之间的绑定关系， 其中， 该固定电话的号码与该手机 的号码可以被存储为该数据项的值， 该数据项的绑定状态被设置为 真。 该数据项如下表 1所示：
表 1
Figure imgf000007_0001
可以理解， 该绑定关系数据库也可以是一个单独的数据库， 不处 于系统 1 内部。
该用户在登录系统 1后， 根据声讯提示进行按键输入设定请求， 请求设定基于该固定电话账户对一个或多个已建立绑定关系的手机 帐户进行的充值的单次最大数额，和 /或在一定时间段内的总数额，和
/或有效期限。 在步骤 S14 中， 设定控制器根据固定电话拨入的设定 请求，设定基于该固定电话账户对各手机帐户进行的充值的单次最大 数额， 和 /或在一定时间段内的总数额， 和 /或有效期限。 在本实施方 式的具体实现中， 设定控制器将该些参数存储为如上表 1所示的数据 项的相应的值。 优选地， 在该用户提供了用于监控充值服务的该主用 户本人的手机号码的情况下， 系统 1将提示这些设定的消息通过短信 等方式发送给该主用户的手机号码。
该用户能够在登录系统 1后，根据声讯提示进行按键输入查询请 求， 查询该固定电话所绑定的手机账户的充值情况。 用户可以查询基 于该固定电话所进行的所有充值的汇总情况， 例如一段时间内的充值 该手机账户所进行的充值的情况， 例如一段时间内的充值金额、 充值 次数等等。 在步骤 S16中， 查询控制器根据用户使用固定电话拨入的 以上查询请求，基于绑定关系数据库中的记录，提供有关的充值信息。
当该用户不再希望基于该固定电话账户对某一已建立绑定关系 的手机帐户进行充值时， 该用户在登录系统 1后， 根据声讯提示进行 按键输入删除请求，请求删除该固定电话账户与该手机帐户的绑定关 系。 在步骤 S18中， 删除控制器根据固定电话拨入的删除请求， 删除 该固定电话账户与至少一个用户终端帐户的绑定关系。 具体地， 删除 控制器可以将相应于将该固定电话账户与该手机帐户的绑定关系的 数据项的绑定状态设置为假， 或者将该数据项删除。 优选地， 在该用 户提供了用于监控充值服务的该主用户本人的手机号码的情况下， 系 统 1 将提示该删除的消息通过短信等方式发送给该主用户的手机号 码。
在系统 1中建立持续的绑定关系后， 在对手机账户充值时， 系统 1 只需要验证该手机账户及其请求的固定电话账户是否符合绑定关 系， 就能够确定是否进行充值， 这样简化了充值过程。
优选地， 在该用户去电信公司申请开通该月良务时， 或在该用户在 家中自助地开通该服务时， 该用户可以向系统 1提供一个用于监控充 值服务的主用户账户， 例如该用户 （下面称为主用户）本人的手机号 码。 系统 1之后会将以上开通、 建立、 设定以及删除操作的有关信息 发送给该主用户账户。 可以理解， 以上表 1中所列的参数仅作示例。 根据实际需要， 系 统 1还可以对基于该固定电话账户对该手机帐户进行充值的其他方面 进行管理， 相应地， 表 1所示的数据项中可以包括其他和充值相关的 参数。
在以上的实施方式中， 一个手机帐户与一个固定电话账户绑定。 可以理解， 在另一个实施方式中， 一个或多个用户可以将不同的多个 固定电话账户与同一个手机帐户进行绑定， 这样能够为手机帐户的充 值提供更大的灵活性。
在以上的实施方式中， 该用户通过固定电话接入系统 1 , 系统 1 根据固定电话拨入的请求管理固定电话账户和手机账户的绑定关系， 鉴于固定电话线路相较无线接入更加难以监听， 所以通过固定电话接 入的安全性较高。 可以理解， 本发明并不限于此， 系统 1也可以支持 通过手机接入的对绑定关系的管理请求。
以上对根据本发明管理固定电话账户和手机帐户之间的绑定关 系进行了描述。 下面将对根据本发明基于该固定电话账户对手机账户 进行充值过程进行描述。
处理设备 12基于该固定电话账户和该手机帐户的对应关系， 确 定是否对该手机帐户进行充值并将充值记入到该固定电话账户应缴 的帐务中。
在第一实施方式中， 该手机账户的用户主动地提出充值的请求。 例如， 该手机账户的用户在它的手机上拨打一接入号码， 通过声讯平 台接入系统 1。 这里的接入号码不一定与前述的固定电话用户管理绑 定关系所拨打的接入号码相同。 在声讯平台的语音提示下， 该用户输 入他想要充值将被记入帐务的固定电话账户的标识， 例如固定电话号 码。 该用户也输入所想要充值的数额。 可以理解， 该用户也通过发送 短信来主动提出充值请求， 该短信中含有他想要充值将被记入帐务的 固定电话号码以及想要充值的数额。
处理设备 12 包括接收器， 用于接收该用户的充值请求， 即获取 用户输入的固定电话号码和所想要充值的数额。 处理设备 12 包括验证装置， 用于根据所管理的该手机帐户与对 应固定电话账户的绑定关系， 确定该用户输入的固定电话号码和所想 要充值的数额是否满足该绑定关系。 具体的， 验证装置根据绑定关系 数据库中的数据， 进行如下验证：
■ 该手机账户是否有与其绑定的固定电话账户；
■ 用户输入的、 充值将被记入帐户的固定电话账户是否和所管理 的、数据库中数据项的记录的与该手机帐户绑定的固定电话账户一 致；
■ 该手机账户和该固定电话账户的绑定关系是否处于设定的有效 期之内；
■ 该手机账户和该固定电话账户的绑定关系是否有效；
■ 该手机账户本次请求充值的数额是否不大于设定的单次充值请 求所能够请求充值的最大数额；
■ 该手机账户在一定时间段内所充值的总数额是否不大于设定的 在一定时间段内所能够充值的总数额； 等等。
若以上验证不通过，系统 1可以通过声讯平台或短信提示该用户， 让其重新提交充值请求， 或者终结本次接入。
当以上验证都通过后， 处理设备 12确定对该手机账户进行该数 额的充值并将相应数额记入该固定电话账户应缴的帐务中。 可以理 解， 根据实际需求， 充入该手机账户的数额不一定与记入该固定账户 应缴的帐务中的相应数额相同， 例如， 系统 1要求该固定账户需额外 缴纳一笔充值手续费， 则处理设备 12记入该固定电话应缴帐务中的 数额应包括充入手机账户的数额及手续费。
在验证通过并确定进行充值后， 操作设备 14对该手机帐户进行 所请求的数额的充值并将相应数额记入到该主账户应缴的帐务中。 具 体的， 操作设备 14更新记录该手机账户的话费的话费数据库 （不论 该话费数据库与系统 1 是否属于同一运营商管辖）， 为该手机账户的 话费增加所请求的数额。 操作设备 14还通知该固定电话账户的运营 商的计费系统（不论该计费系统与系统 1是否属于同一运营商管辖）， 将相应数额记入到该固定账户应缴的帐务中。 操作设备 14还更新绑 定关系数据库中的表示该手机账户和该固定电话帐户之间绑定关系 的数据项， 将本次充值的情况， 例如本次充值的日期时间、 充值数额 记录到该数据项中。 优选地， 操作设备 14可以通过短信平台向该用 户发送提示充值成功的短信。 优选地， 在该用户提供了用于监控充值 服务的该主用户本人的手机号码的情况下， 操作设备 14将提示该次 充值的消息通过短信等方式经由短信平台发送给该主用户的手机号 码。 可以理解， 本申请文件所说的操作设备 14进行充值以及将充值 记入帐务， 包括这两种情况：
当操作设备 14本身具有对手机帐户进行充值以及将充值记入固 定电话帐户的权限， 例如系统 1、 手机帐户和固定电话帐户均由同一 运营商管理时， 操作设备 14直接进行充值和记账； 以及，
当操作设备 14请求具有充值和记账权限的管理实体进行该操作， 例如系统 1、 手机帐户和固定电话帐户由不同运营商管理时， 操作设 备 14请求具有权限的管理实体进行充值或记账操作。
充值结束后， 该用户或者系统 1可以终结该接入。
以上对用户主动请求对手机账户进行充值进行了描述。在第二实 施方式中， 系统 1在预定条件满足， 例如手机帐户中的余额低于一阈 值时， 自动地向手机账户发送提醒， 并接收充值确认， 从而自动地为 手机账户充值。
具体的， 待充值的手机账户的用户可以事先在系统 1中设置一阈 值，或系统 1 自动设置一阈值。该阈值可以存储在绑定关系数据库中。 处理设备 12 包括一提醒装置， 该提醒装置可以与手机账户的话费数 据库通信， 在话费数据库中记录的该手机账户的余额低于该阈值时， 自动地向该手机账户发送一充值提醒消息。 该消息可以以短信的方式 通过短信平台被发送， 该短信中可以为： "余额不足， 请确定是否自 动充值， 确定请回复 Y" , 并且该短信的发送者是系统 1 的一个服务 号码。
在一种情况下， 该短信被发送给该手机账户的手机上。 用户事先 在该手机上设置了自动回复机制， 例如该用户设置了： 在接收到来自 系统 1的服务号码的短信， 并且该短信中带有 "余额不足"、 "充值，， 的关键词时， 自动回复一系统 1能够识别的格式的充值确认短信。 这 样， 在余额不足时， 如果该用户正好在进行通话， 不能使用第一实施 方式中的方法主动请求充值， 那么该手机在接收到该条充值提醒消息 后， 能够自动地回复充值确认短信， 例如短信内容为 "Y" , 该短信的 发件人是该手机账户号码。
在某些时候， 该手机账户的手机短信收件箱已满， 那么该短信会 在手机运营商的短消息服务中心处暂存， 而不会被发送到该手机上。 为了在这种情况下也能够进行自动充值， 用户能够事先在手机运营商 处开通在短消息服务中心中的自动回复功能， 这也被称为交换机层面
( switch-level ) 的短消息自动回复。 该用户在交换机层面的短消息自 动回复功能里进行与前面在手机上类似的设置。 则短消息服务中心暂 存了来自系统 1的服务号码的短信， 并且分析该短信中带有 "余额不 足"、 "充值" 的关键字后， 自动回复一条内容为 "Y" 的充值确认短 信， 该短信的发件人是该手机账户号码。
处理设备 12 包括一接收器， 该接收器接收相应于该充值提醒消 息的、 对该手机账户进行充值的确认消息， 例如以上内容为 "Y" 的 短信。 处理设备 12根据该短信的发件人以及内容 "Y"， 确定对该手 机帐户进行充值， 并根据绑定关系数据库确定与该手机账户绑定的固 定电话账户， 确定将对该手机账户的充值记入到该固定账户应缴的帐 务中。
之后， 操作设备 14对该手机帐户进行充值并将充值记入到该主 账户应缴的帐务中，充值的数额可以是用户预先在系统 1中设置好的， 也可以包含在自动回复的充值确认短信中， 还可以是系统 1默认的数 额。 操作设备 14进行的具体操作与以上第一实施方式是类似的， 在 此不再赘述。 优选地， 在该用户提供了用于监控充值服务的该主用户 本人的手机号码的情况下， 操作设备 14将提示该次充值的消息通过 短信等方式经由短信平台发送给该主用户的手机号码。 在以上的实施方式中， 系统 1发送充值提醒的预定条件是手机帐 户中的余额低于一阈值。 可以理解， 该预定条件并不限于此， 在另一 个实施方式中， 该预定条件可以是前一次充值已经过去了一时间段。 尽管在附图和前述的描述中详细阐明和描述了本发明，应认为该 阐明和描述是说明性的和示例性的， 而不是限制性的； 本发明不限于 上述实施方式。
那些本技术领域的一般技术人员可以通过研究说明书、 公开的内 容及附图和所附的权利要求书， 理解和实施对披露的实施方式的其他 改变。 在权利要求中， 措词 "包括" 不排除其他的元素和步骤， 并且 措辞 "一个" 不排除复数。 在发明的实际应用中， 一个部件可能执行 权利要求中所引用的多个技术特征的功能。权利要求中的任何附图标 记不应理解为对范围的限制。
