Method and system for short message platform charging using network service interface

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for charging on the short message service platform through a network service interface, wherein, the method comprises the following steps: a charging module of a charge deduction initiating device calls a simple object access protocol communication module of the charge deduction initiating device to initiate a charge deduction flow request; the simple object access protocol communication module of the provincial gateway calls a local charging module to a charging center to deduct the charge after receiving the request; in the simple object access protocol communication module of the provincial gateway, charge deduction results returned from the charging center is reported to the simple object access protocol communication module of the charge deduction initiator device through the response message; the charge deduction results are transmitted to the charging module through the simple object access protocol communication module of the charge deduction initiator device. Therefore, the shortcoming of charge mode in short message item of intelligent network plateform in the prior proposal is effectively removed through the invention to ensure that the process of the charge deduction is simple and the burden of the gateway is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer communication, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for billing a short message platform by using a network service interface. Background technique [0002] With the development of SMS value-added services, operators pay more and more attention to the billing of SMS services. For example: the number of service providers (SPs) on various short message platforms is increasing. The services provided by the SP to users through the SMS system include on-demand and order services. Because the deduction of each user is in charge of the billing system in the user's location, no matter what type of business, the deduction method of various services is from each provincial gateway to the billing center of the province to deduct the fee. [0003] In order to be able to deduct fees from various provincial billing centers, the deduction methods adopted by the SMS platforms of various operator...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. There are multiple network elements in the middle. If a network element fails, it will affect the entire deduction process

Even make a large number of deduction process fail;

[0005] 2. Due to passing through multiple network elements, the deduction process becomes unnecessarily complicated, which greatly increases the possibility of duplicate and lost bills; and

[0006] 3. Add a large amount of forwarding traffic to the intermediate gateway, increasing the burden on the gateway
