Problems solved by technology

This patent can calculate the total cost of the user's current Internet access in real time, but because only the cost of a single Internet access is stored locally, it is difficult for users who use one wireless network card to access the Internet on multiple computers to accurately obtain the current day and time. and/or the total cost of Internet access for the current month, however, one of the main reasons users care about Internet traffic is the cost of Internet access for the day and/or month
[0006] In addition, wireless network operators often update tariff standards, and it is difficult for users to obtain the latest Internet access tariff stan

Embodiment 1

[0054] This embodiment is mainly used to count the Internet traffic of the day and / or the current month, and detect and update the tariff standard of the Internet in real time, and calculate the Internet traffic of the day and / or the current month according to the daily Internet traffic and / or monthly Internet traffic and the tariff standard of the Internet Fees are provided to users in real time. Such as figure 2 As shown, the wireless connection management module counts the daily Internet traffic and / or monthly Internet traffic, and stores the statistical results in the flash memory of the network card, including the following steps:

[0055] Step 201, start the wireless connection management module, monitor whether there is a wireless network card inserted, after monitoring the wireless network card device, the client accesses the network through the wireless network card;

[0056] After inputting authentication information such as user name and password through the wirel...

Embodiment 2

[0075] In this embodiment, the specific steps of the process of performing traffic statistics for users who surf the Internet with a monthly traffic subscription are as follows:

[0076] Steps 301 to 310 are basically the same as steps 201 to 210 in Embodiment 1, just refer to the above description, and will not be repeated here.

[0077] Step 311 , comparing the monthly Internet traffic with the user's monthly subscription traffic of the month, and if the monthly Internet traffic exceeds the monthly subscription traffic of the month at this time, prompting the user that the monthly traffic has exceeded.

[0078] This embodiment is very useful for users with a monthly subscription to the Internet traffic, especially with the wide application of 3G networks, the Internet speed has been greatly increased, and it is of great significance to promptly prompt the user that the traffic exceeds the limit.

[0079] In order to calculate the Internet access fee, the user's Internet acce...

Abstract

The invention discloses a traffic statistic method. An address space for storing traffic data of a user is set in a wireless network card. The method comprises the following steps: in a set statistical cycle, counting the uplink traffic and the downlink traffic after the wireless network card is accessed to the network; and updating traffic data, stored in the address space of the wireless network card, of the user which is accessed to the network. In addition, the invention also provides a method for automatically computing network charge, which comprises the following steps: detecting updated charge standard in a real time mode or periodically; in the set statistical cycle, counting the uplink traffic and the downlink traffic, and updating the traffic data corresponding to a current user; and in a set charging cycle, according to the network charge standard and the traffic data of the current user, computing the network charge of the current day and/or the current month. Correspondingly, the invention also provides a device for traffic statistics and automatic computation of the network charge. The method and the device can accurately count the traffic when the user uses the same wireless network card to surf on line on a plurality of computers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to billing technology in wireless networks, in particular to a method and device for flow statistics and automatic calculation of Internet access fees. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of wireless networks, the number of users using wireless network cards to access the Internet is increasing day by day. However, since the same wireless network card is often used on multiple computers, it is very difficult to count the Internet traffic of this wireless network card. Because the existing online traffic statistics method is mainly: adopt the traffic statistics software similar to the network traffic monitor (DU Meter), this kind of traffic statistics software is to save the result of traffic statistics locally, so for adopting wireless network card in multiple As far as the computer is connected to the Internet, it is difficult for this type of traffic statistics software to accurately count the Internet traffic ...
