In order to better understand the above charging process, the above technical solutions are described below in conjunction with the embodiments, but are not intended to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.

Embodiment 1

The embodiments of the present invention belong to the enterprise group for the purpose of recharging the credit balance, recharging traffic, broadband payment, and ordering other telecommunication services for the users of the group. By adding a set of independent enterprise account management system, a set of top-up payment agent system (equivalent to the above-mentioned top-up agent entity 42), a set of WEB service system (equivalent to the above-mentioned server 40), through the top-up payment agent system and the three major domestic The operator can connect to the enterprise account in the enterprise account management system.

Enterprise group users can use the existing account to log in to the system through the WEB system, and can manage (add, delete, change) the group user number list, recharge the user accounts in the group, and pre-purchase the enterprise traffic package and save it in the system; For the user number in the Group, the recharge fee and recharge traffic, the required recharge amount and traffic will be deducted from the group account in the system.

With this system, enterprise group users do not need to pay attention to which operator the user number in the group belongs to. They only need to select the list of numbers that need to be recharged. When the recharge call charge and charge flow are initiated, the recharge payment agent system automatically initiates the recharge to the corresponding operator. The request, wherein the system belongs to a third-party recharge agent system independent of the operator, is for the enterprise customer to recharge the user number in the group.

As mentioned above, a unified unified enterprise group telecom service payment management system can be established independently of each relevant operator billing system. The system is aimed at telecom services such as recharge of telephone charges, purchase and gift of traffic packets, and broadband payment. The system needs to be docked with the BOSS billing system of different operators to implement the payment ordering function.

This recharge payment agent system is configured and maintains the number access prefix of different operators to distinguish This number belongs to an operator. If an operator access number prefix is changed, it needs to be updated on the system.

The recharge payment agent system establishes a connection with each operator's BOSS camp, and uses a SOAP or HTTP interface to carry a recharge request. The recharge payment agent system analyzes the prefix of each recharge number to obtain the operator to which the number belongs, and sends the recharge request to the corresponding operator billing system for processing.

Group users open accounts on this system, which can include credit account and traffic account. Group users can pre-charge the credit amount account in advance, or they can purchase enterprise traffic packets to recharge the traffic account. According to the credit rating of the group users, the credit account and the traffic account can also realize the overdraft function. When the next group user recharges, the amount of the last overdraft will be corrected.

Group users log in to the WEB service of this system, use the registered account to log in, and can recharge the group call account through UnionPay or third-party payment (such as WeChat, Alipay), and purchase the enterprise traffic packet charging account. The system is required to open an interface with a third-party payment system such as UnionPay.

The group user logs in to the WEB service of the system, uses the registered account to log in, and manages the user number in the group. If the user number in the group is updated, the corresponding number information can be synchronized.

Group users log in to the WEB service of the system, use the registered account to log in, perform recharge and recharge of the user number in the group, and can recharge all users with the same amount or flow value, or edit and implement users according to different levels. Recharge different amounts and flows. The total credit amount and total traffic value will be deducted from the call amount account and the flow account of the group account.

The group user sets up a recharge template and periodically recharges the recharge and recharge traffic for the user numbers in the group.

Embodiment 2

5 is a structural block diagram of a recharge system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, an enterprise group client access terminal refers to a client of a group user of each enterprise, and a group user in the enterprise can connect through the WEB client terminal. Into the system.

In Figure 5, the WEB server is used to start the WEB service, and the enterprise group client can browse. Access to the system's web service.

S704: The enterprise group user initiates a recharge request for the user number in the group (including the recharge balance and recharge traffic), selects the number to be recharged, and sets the recharge category and the amount.

S706: The internal processing of the system checks whether the amount of the call charge and the flow package of the enterprise group account meet the requirements. If it is not satisfied, it prompts to recharge the group account in time, and the balance of this recharge operation is insufficient.

S708: The enterprise group user initiates the recharge operation, and the internal logic processing of the system includes the recharge request including all the numbers that need to be recharged, the amount of recharge, the recharge category, and the like.

S710: The recharging proxy entity performs internal logic processing, and the number belongs to a specific operator according to the operator prefix in the system; whether the number is recharged or recharged according to the recharge category;

S712: The replenishing agent entity determines the operator of the refilling number, and invokes the interface of the corresponding operator refilling proxy entity; the refilling proxy entity determines the refilling category of the refilling number, and invokes the corresponding refilling request instruction;

S714: the refilling proxy entity completes the refill request command and sends the replenishment request command to the corresponding operator billing system; the camping system returns the recharge result to the interface of the refill proxy entity, and the interface of the refill proxy entity is forwarded to the refill proxy;

S716: Acquire the recharge result, the recharge system updates the database information, and deducts the total recharged call charge or traffic from the enterprise group account. The system saves all relevant recharge records.

S718: Return the recharge response result to the enterprise group customer access terminal.
