Embodiment 1

[0024] This embodiment provides an online charging method. Refer below figure 1 , describing the method in detail. The method includes:

[0025] Step S101: Appropriate according to the user's request and reserve an approved amount on the intermediate account;

[0026] For example, this step is performed by a billing system such as CBS or OCS. In this step, the CBS reserves a rating on the ledger of the intermediate account according to the payment priority order of the ledger in the intermediate account for the current business.

[0027] In a specific example, the intermediate account can be mirrored, that is, it includes the account book corresponding to the mirrored account of the balance management center, which can be preset in the CBS, or can be established according to the user's charging request. The specific establishment steps It may include: identifying the account book list or shared account book list that pays for the current business according to the billing re...

Embodiment 2

[0046] Refer below figure 2 , detailing the simple charging scenario of the online charging method according to the present invention. Prepaid user A has three books: book a is the default book (change this book when recharging), with a balance of 50 yuan; book b is the reward fund account of GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) This book has a balance of 10 yuan; the c account book is a special account book for the voice service and has a balance of 100 yuan. The billing process for users using GPRS services is as follows:

[0047] Step S201: User A activates and requests to use the GPRS service, and the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN, Gateway GPRS Support Node) in the SPP reports a charging request, carrying a service identification (ID) and a request amount (RSU, Requested-Service-Unit) and other billing parameters;

[0048] Step S202: CBS billing approval, calculates the billing result as 2 yuan, and at the same time recognizes that books a and b can be used to pay for...

Embodiment 3

[0061] Refer below image 3 , to illustrate the multi-service concurrent charging process of the online charging method of the present invention, when the balance of the intermediate account does not meet the needs of the business to be processed, a situation in which other account books of the same user are added to the intermediate account. User A's account book is the same as above. The billing process for the user to use the GPRS service and concurrently use the voice service is as follows:

[0062] Wherein step S301 to step S306 are identical with step S201 to step S206 respectively;

[0063] Step S307: The user requests to use the voice service, and the SCP in the SPP reports a charging request, carrying charging parameters such as service ID and RSU;

[0064] Step S308: CBS billing approval, calculates the billing result as 5 yuan, and at the same time recognizes that books a and c can pay for the belt processing business, and book c has a high priority for payment, b...

Abstract

The invention provides an online charging method, an online charging device and an online charging system. The online charging method comprises the following steps of: rating according to a request amount of a user and reserves the rating on an intermediate account; deducting fee from the intermediate account according to the using amount of the user; and initiating a balance change request to a balance management center according to the fee deduction condition of the intermediate account after a user activates the account. Due to the adoption of the online charging method, all dynamic information of related account of the user is imaged to the intermediate account of a CBS by creating the intermediate account in the CBS, and the service under the activation of the user is subjected to reservation and fee deduction processing on the intermediate account, so access frequency of an ABM is reduced, interaction with the ABM during each charging process is avoided, communication links are shortened, and the terminal-to-terminal charging performance is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network communication, in particular to an online charging method, device and system. Background technique [0002] With the needs of business development and factors such as reducing investment costs, it tends to build a billing system (CBS, Convergence Billing System) that integrates prepaid and postpaid. At the same time, in order to facilitate the realization of business goals such as free switching between prepaid and postpaid, real-time shared balance between prepaid and postpaid, cross discounts and service bundling of prepaid and postpaid, or to reduce the coupling between billing and accounts and improve billing For the purpose of flexibility and scalability of the solution, operators gradually tend to build Account Balance Management Centers (ABM, Account Balance Management). [0003] In the ABM mode, CBS or OCS (Online Charge System) is responsible for approving the price, and after the cost result is c...
