example 1

[0060] Example 1: Assume that the design fee system is located in East 8 District, and the user roams to East 9 District. At 9:30 am in East 9 District, the user calls a local user in East 9 District. The normal rate of the local call is 10 cents / minute, but A preferential rule is configured in the billing system, which is 40% off the rate between 9:00-10:00 local time, and the service control device will pass the enhanced CCR (Credit-Control-Request, credit control request) to the user's local time zone The message is reported to the billing system, and the "area analysis and local time calculation" module of the billing system calculates that the user's local local time is 9:30 according to the time zone (the system time of the billing system is 8:30 at this time), so The 40% discount rule comes into effect, thus giving the user a 40% discount on the local call rate.

example 2

[0061] Example 2: Assuming that the design fee system is located in East 8 District, and the user roams to East 9 District, the user calls a local user in East 9 District at 9:30 a.m. time in East 9 District. The normal rate of the local call is 10 cents / minute, but A discount rule is configured in the billing system to discount 40% off the rate between 9:00-10:00 local time. The service control device does not support enhanced CCR messages, so it cannot report the user’s local time zone to the billing system. Therefore, The "Area Analysis and Local Time Calculation" module of the billing system analyzes the user's roaming number "011-12345678" and obtains that the area code of the user's location is 11, and then queries the "area code->time zone" mapping table to obtain the corresponding time zone as District East 9. Therefore, it is calculated that the local time of the user's location is 9:30 (the system time of the billing system is 8:30 at this time), so the 40% discount...

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging method and a system; the method includes that the charging parameters of the user are acquired; the charging strategy related to the current service and the reference time zone adopted by the charging strategy are determined according to the charging parameters; the reference time zone is obtained and the local time of the reference time zone is calculated; the user is charged according to the charging parameters, the charging strategy related to the current service and the local time of the reference time zone. Based on the charging method and the system, the charging mode is enabled to be reasonable and abundant; the localization experience of the end user is satisfied; the charging method and the system provides a competitive service charging mode forthe operator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a charging method and system. Background technique [0002] The characteristics of the current telecommunication services are becoming more and more abundant. Users of the telecommunication network are distributed in multiple time zones or often roam across time zones. Therefore, flexible and diverse charging methods are required for user billing. However, in the existing billing system, the time of the area where the billing node is located is generally used for billing, and the billing method is single, which cannot meet the above-mentioned various billing requirements. Contents of the invention [0003] The embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method and system, so that the charging methods are more reasonable and abundant, and the charging is more accurate. [0004] A billing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes: [0005] Obtain ...
