Embodiment Construction

[0034] The integrated billing system and method of the present invention strip off the respective online billing functions of the Service Control Point (SCP), Integrated Service Management Platform (ISMP) and Content Charging Gateway (CCG) in the existing billing system, and integrate Independent online charging component - OCS. The OCS is responsible for the real-time billing and cross-bundling of the 3G circuit domain, packet domain and data service network of prepaid users. The quasi-real-time billing component (Hotbilling) is responsible for quasi-real-time billing processing for prepaid and postpaid users. The shared information database (SID) uniformly saves customer data, product data, account data and tariff data. And OCS and HotBilling share the data of SID respectively, so as to realize the integration of prepaid and postpaid users. In addition, since the OCS adopts a data model similar to quasi-real-time billing, such as China Telecom's billing model 1.0, and is s...

Abstract

The invention provides an integrating charging system, which comprises a service control point (SCP) which is used for triggering online charging of voice service; a content charging gateway (CCG) which is used for triggering online charging according to content distinguishing flow; an integrative service management platform (ISMP) which is used for triggering online charging of mobile increment data service; an online charging section (OCS) which is used for receiving the online charging request triggered by the service control point, the content charging gateway and the integrative service management platform, and carrying out real-time charging to the present prepayment account for the prepayment users who are carrying out the online charging; a quasi real-time charging section (Hotbilling) which is used for getting a phone bill in a specific network equipment by a specific time interval and carrying out fee deduction and charging in the relevant account for the prepayment users and postpaid users who are carrying out the quasi real-time charging; a sharing information database (SID) which is used for preserving and managing the user data, the product data, the account data and the tariff data universally and carrying out data sharing by the online charging section and the quasi real-time charging section.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the charging field, in particular to an integrated charging system and method. Background technique [0002] At present, the existing telecom billing mainly has the following two solutions: one is to implement the online billing processing of prepaid users through the intelligent network and the integrated service management platform (ISMP); Billing processing for paying users. Another solution is that the quasi-real-time charging system is uniformly responsible for the charging processing of the prepaid and postpaid users. [0003] In the intelligent network charging system, the charging authentication process is implemented at the service control point (SCP). When the balance of the user's account can only be used for two minutes, the SCP will immediately cut off the user's call after two minutes. Therefore, the intelligent network realizes real-time billing, thereby solving the problem of user arrears. However, the defect...
