Method for management, value-charging and settlement of communication equipment terminal fee

Abstract

The invention relates to tariff management and recharging settlement method of communication equipment terminal. The invention provides a tariff management and recharging settlement method for consumer to instantly know and master communication spending and remaining balance in real time and low cost. The technical scheme comprises steps: self tariff rule management step for the terminal, for keeping, modifying, computing and explaining the tariff rule; settlement management step for terminal, for recording charge for communication consume and providing total detail account; terminal interface transferring interface. The invention can be used for mobile phone communication of China Mobile, China Unicom and fixed telephone and PHS, cabled TV, broad band, old type BP (paging machine) etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for charge management and recharge settlement of a communication equipment terminal, which is suitable for mobile phone communication of China Mobile, mobile phone communication of China Unicom, fixed telephone / PHS communication of China Telecom, cable TV, broadband Internet access, old-fashioned BP machine ( Pager) and many other communication industries. Background technique [0002] Most of the billing methods in the traditional communication industry adopt a centralized method for billing, which means that the computer room of the operator (such as: fixed line industry, mobile communication industry, Internet, radio and television, etc.) collects the consumption data and collects them into the billing system , and then perform billing actions such as general ledger accounting or balance checking according to different time requirements. It is the operator who provides services to consumers (users), and the...

Problems solved by technology

However, when consumers (users) have certain specific behaviors (such as international roaming, international long-distance calls, and some special tariff communication behaviors), the consumption amount may increase rapidly and exceed the balance due to high rates, resulting in later checks. The arrears / bad debt results at the time of settlement cannot be reflected in centralized billing in real time, which increases management costs, operating costs, and financial costs for "suppliers (operators)", and forms certain risks loss

[0003] From the perspective of "consumers (users)", it is difficult to effectively grasp the amount of their own consumption. To inquire about the detailed list accounts, it is necessary to go through cumbersome operations and even go to the "supplier (operator)" Only established business points can obtain relevant information, and the management cost is relatively high; in addition, when the "communication equipment terminal" is lost or stolen, due to the hysteresis effect of fee settlement, huge expenses may be generated, thus making "Consumers (users)" in addition to bearing the loss of pre-stored fees, additionally bear the huge excess fees, resulting in additional losses

[0004] In the traditional centralized billing system, due to the innate reason of the structure, under the premise of satisfying the huge amount of computation, it is necessary to increase the cost tracking speed of a single consumer "(user)" to the hour level or even the minute in terms of time granularity level, its system development, implementation, and maintenance costs will be very high, and it is difficult to satisfy the "supplier (operator)" in terms of input-output ratio, or even unbearable

[0005] At present, there are also some technical solutions that have made some targeted improvements and began to solve the billing problem from the perspective of communication equipment terminals. However, the setting of tariff rules is too simple, and the recognition ability and extended support for communication behaviors are too Weak, unable to support various types of communication behaviors and corresponding various rate standards and calculation methods
