务接入接口供 APP使用。 当用户使用业务时, 智能化流量经营平台可以通过 RX接口 与核心网进行交互。 智能化流量经营平台中设置的业务控制模块和管理模块可以对套 餐剩余时间或套餐剩余流量进行逻辑分片 (分片的大小可以根据套餐的情况进行自动 调整), 再通过 RX接口发给核心网。 这里需要说明的是, 进行逻辑分片操作的时机可以有多个, 这里介绍两种较佳的 实施方式: (1 ) 一旦用户开始使用业务套餐, 智能化流量经营平台就立即对业务套餐 进行逻辑分片操作, 进而得到业务套餐分片; (2) 在用户已经使用的业务套餐的套餐 值达到一定套餐值 (即上述预设的多个分段值中的任意值) 之后, 智能化流量经营平 台再对业务套餐中的剩余业务套餐进行逻辑分片, 以这样的方式可以得到业务套餐分 片, 当然, 一定套餐值完全可以根据用户定制的业务套餐的实际情况以及用户使用业 务套餐的情况具体做动态调整。 当分片的时间或流量消耗完时, 核心网会通知智能化流量经营平台进行业务逻辑 计算, 如果时间或流量未到达设置的阈值, 智能化流量经营平台可以继续发送分片给 核心网, 如果业务控制和管理模块计算分片的总量快要达到用户订购的套餐值时, 就 会主动通过核心网通知应用用户的套餐使用情况, 应用就可以显示套餐的使用情况。 当然, 在实际应用中, 应用也可以实时调用智能化流量经营平台提供的业务接入接口 为用户提供套餐实时使用情况。 这里需要说明的是, 该优选实施例提供的智能化流量经营平台所保包含的各个模 块的名称或数目与上述实施例提供的位于预置的智能化流量经营平台中的用户业务套 餐使用情况的获取装置的各个模块的名称或数目存在不一致的情况, 各个模块的功能 并不完全一致, 甚至具有包含或重叠的功能关系, 但这恰恰是该优选实施例仅仅作为 上述实施例的一个较佳的实施方式的原因导致的, 二者提供的方案均完全可以实现且 能产生同样的效果。 图 9是根据本发明优选实施例的用户观看视频场景下的业务套餐使用情况的获取 流程图, 如图 9所示, 该流程包括以下步骤: 步骤 S902, 用户订购业务套餐成功。 步骤 S904, 用户使用业务套餐如观看视频, 应用通知智能化流量经营平台调用智 能化流量经营平台的业务接入接口。
步骤 S906,智能化流量经营平台的控制管理模块进行业务套餐的剩余时间或流量 分片, 把分片信息通过 RX接口传递给核心网, 智能化流量经营平台和核心网都进行 流量累计。 步骤 S908, 分片的时间或流量消耗完, 核心网通过 RX接口通知智能化流量经营 平台。 步骤 S910, 智能化流量经营平台进行逻辑计算, 如果剩余分片的总量快达到套餐 限值, 就通过业务接入接口及时通知应用, 否则, 就继续下发分片到核心网。 步骤 S912, 应用通过业务接入接口得到套餐使用情况后, 把提示信息嵌入到应用 中展示给用户, 应用也可实时调用平台提供的接口查询套餐使用情况。 可以看出, 在本优选实施例中, 利用这种分片控制流量或时间的方法, 用户就可 以在使用套餐时精确掌握套餐使用情况, 并通过接口嵌入应用的方式方便用户续订等 操作, 大幅提升用户体验。 需要说明的是, 上述各个模块是可以通过硬件来实现的。 例如: 一种处理器, 包 括上述各个模块, 或者, 上述各个模块分别位于一个处理器中。 在另外一个实施例中, 还提供了一种软件, 该软件用于执行上述实施例及优选实 施方式中描述的技术方案。 在另外一个实施例中, 还提供了一种存储介质, 该存储介质中存储有上述软件, 该存储介质包括但不限于: 光盘、 软盘、 硬盘、 可擦写存储器等。 从以上的描述中, 可以看出, 本发明实现了如下技术效果: 采用智能化流量经营 平台可以基于逻辑分片方式对业务套餐的使用情况通知给应用, 使得用户可以直观地 从应用上获知业务套餐的使用情况的方式, 解决了相关技术中套餐使用将近结束时通 过短信方式提醒用户导致用户体验较差的问题, 通过这样的方式, 用户不必进行过于 繁杂的操作才能获知业务套餐的使用情况或续订业务套餐, 进而达到了提高用户体验 的效果。 显然, 本领域的技术人员应该明白, 上述的本发明实施例的各模块或各步骤可以 用通用的计算装置来实现, 它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上, 或者分布在多个计算 装置所组成的网络上, 可选地, 它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现, 从而, 可以将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行, 并且在某些情况下, 可以以不同于 此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤, 或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块, 或

In the preferred embodiment, when the user subscribes to the service and starts to use the service, such as watching the video, the terminal establishes a signaling connection with the service side to form an application layer session (AF session), and the AF (Application Function, application) The functional entity) initiates an RX (3GPP standard interface) session establishment request to the PCRF (Policy and Charging Rule Function) to apply for a new RX session. In the AF session, the information about the service data plane is generally negotiated (for example, the IP address of the service data stream, the required encoding format, bandwidth, etc.), and the AF will pass the information to the PCRF through the newly created RX session, and generate specific control as the PCRF. The input information of the rule. Reference may be made herein to FIG. 8 (FIG. 8 is a process diagram for obtaining usage of a user service package by an ITOP in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention), and FIG. 8 shows a link of an APP (application) to a core network. The preferred embodiment introduces an ITTP (Intelligent Traffic Operation Platform) and gives the IOP new functions, including: It can be used to implement control and management of services, and provide services. The service access interface is used by the APP. When the user uses the service, the intelligent traffic management platform can interact with the core network through the RX interface. The service control module and the management module set in the intelligent traffic management platform can perform logical segmentation on the remaining time of the package or the remaining traffic of the package (the size of the slice can be automatically adjusted according to the condition of the package), and then sent to the core network through the RX interface. . It should be noted that there may be multiple timings for performing logical fragmentation operations. Two preferred implementations are described here: (1) Once the user starts to use the service package, the intelligent traffic management platform immediately logically processes the business package. The fragmentation operation, and then the business package fragmentation; (2) After the package value of the service package that the user has used reaches a certain package value (that is, any of the preset plurality of segmentation values), the intelligent traffic management The platform then logically fragments the remaining business packages in the business package. In this way, the business package can be obtained. Of course, the certain package value can be completely determined according to the actual situation of the customized business package and the situation in which the user uses the business package. Do dynamic adjustments. When the time or traffic of the fragment is exhausted, the core network notifies the intelligent traffic management platform to perform business logic calculation. If the time or traffic does not reach the set threshold, the intelligent traffic management platform can continue to send fragments to the core network, if the service When the control and management module calculates the total amount of fragments to reach the package value ordered by the user, it will actively notify the application user of the package usage through the core network, and the application can display the usage of the package. Of course, in practical applications, the application can also call the service access interface provided by the intelligent traffic management platform in real time to provide users with real-time usage of the package. It should be noted that the name or the number of each module that is included in the intelligent traffic management platform provided by the preferred embodiment is different from the usage of the user service package in the preset intelligent traffic management platform provided by the foregoing embodiment. There are inconsistencies in the names or numbers of the modules of the obtaining device, the functions of the modules are not completely identical, and even have functional relationships including or overlapping, but this is precisely the preferred embodiment as a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment. As a result of the implementation, the solutions provided by both are fully achievable and can produce the same effect. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of obtaining a service package usage situation in a video scene of a user according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the process includes the following steps: Step S902: The user subscribes to the service package successfully. In step S904, the user uses the service package, such as watching the video, to notify the intelligent traffic management platform to invoke the service access interface of the intelligent traffic management platform. Step S906, the control management module of the intelligent traffic management platform performs the remaining time or traffic fragmentation of the service package, and transmits the fragmentation information to the core network through the RX interface, and the intelligent traffic management platform and the core network perform traffic accumulation. In step S908, the time or flow of the fragmentation is exhausted, and the core network notifies the intelligent traffic management platform through the RX interface. In step S910, the intelligent traffic management platform performs logical calculation. If the total amount of the remaining fragments reaches the package limit, the application is notified in time through the service access interface. Otherwise, the fragmentation is continued to be sent to the core network. In step S912, after the application obtains the usage of the package through the service access interface, the application information is embedded in the application and displayed to the user, and the application can also invoke the interface provided by the platform to query the usage of the package in real time. It can be seen that, in the preferred embodiment, by using the method of controlling the flow or time by using the fragment, the user can accurately grasp the usage of the package when using the package, and embed the application through the interface to facilitate the user to renew the operation. Significantly improve the user experience. It should be noted that each of the above modules can be implemented by hardware. For example: a processor, including the above modules, or each of the above modules is located in one processor.
