Charging method and system of prepaid service

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging method and a charging system of prepaid service, wherein the method comprises the steps: a charging management module presets different virtual private networks in the prepaid service, namely package charging levels of VPN, receives the call request of a user terminal, and at least judges whether either of the calling terminal and the called terminal is the validated user of VPN and whether the calling belongs to the preset different package charging levels of VPN; and for the calling terminal or the called terminal which is the validated user of VPN, a charging module carries out charging to the calling according to the belonged package charging level of VPN, and ends the calling when money in the account of the user terminal is not enough. The invention realizes the flexible charging of VPN in the prepaid service, which not only can lead the users to enjoy more flexible charging and conveniently reduce expenses, but also can be beneficial to the service promotion and development cost saving of operators, without changing the existing service frame construction and developing interfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to prepaid services, in particular to a charging method and system for prepaid services. Background technique [0002] The traditional network-in-network service needs to develop PPS (Prepaid Service, prepaid service) main business and VPN (Virtual Private Network, virtual private network) service. The existing way to realize PPS network-in-network service is: PPS users can join VPN, for the PPS call process, it is necessary for the calling party and the called party to interact with each other through the VPN to determine whether the outgoing call and the incoming call are intra-network calls, and to control the billing of the user. When the user dials a number within the VPN group, the Enjoy the tariff discount in the network; after the call is over, you need to update the group balance information in the VPN; in addition, in the network call, in addition to updating the group's accumulated funds, you need to modify the ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, due to the possibility of failure and data loss in the interaction of sending Execute signaling, the call process may fail, and in the existing method, once the user joins the same group, the charging scheme of the user in the group is Consistent, so that it cannot be implemented across multiple systems, and the VPN function fee cannot be deducted flexibly and a certain free usage quota is given to VPN users. Different billing schemes cannot be used when using the free quota or billing quota.
