Method and apparatus for verifying authority and charging between comprehensive management platform and business engine

Abstract

A method for authentication and charging between an integrated service management platform and a service engine, comprising: setting a charging switch on the service engine; determining whether the link between the integrated service management platform and the service engine is normal, , then set the billing switch to on, and perform the normal authentication and billing process; if it is determined that the link is abnormal, set the billing switch to off, and the default is to pass the authentication without requesting the integrated service management platform for authentication. Distribute services to users, and then generate call data records for billing in the service engine. When the link returns to normal, it is sent to the integrated service management platform for one-time evaluation. The present invention also provides related systems. The invention solves the problem of ensuring that users can use services and generating call data records for billing when the integrated service management platform fails.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile service networks, in particular to a method and system for performing security authentication and charging between an integrated service management platform and a service engine of the mobile service network. Background technique [0002] The mobile service network includes an integrated service management platform (ISMP), a service engine and a service access gateway. End users access at the service access gateway. When a terminal user clicks on a certain service and sends a service use request to the service engine, the service engine needs to go to the ISMP (ISMP is responsible for authentication and billing) for authentication to verify whether the user can use the service. The service usage process cannot be continued until the user terminal is authorized to use the service. After the service is used, the service engine reports to the ISMP through the ISMP interface the service usage time of the end u...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, if the normal information exchange between ISMP and the service engine cannot be performed due to some reasons, such as ISMP failure or link failure, because in the horizontal architecture of ISMP, all mobile value-added services need to go to ISMP for authentication and authentication , will cause all mobile value-added services to be unavailable, which greatly increases the business risk on ISMP nodes

[0004] In the prior art, there is a lack of a mechanism to ensure that users can use services and generate call data records for billing when ISMP fails or links fail
