Billing method and billing system

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging method and a charging system, which relate to the technical field of communication. The method of the present invention includes: the master node divides each user who shares the cumulative amount of the same service into different slave nodes; the master node allocates the cumulative amount of business to each slave node according to the number of users of each slave node; According to the user's business usage, the cumulative amount of the allocated business will be deducted. The method of the embodiment of the present invention performs distributed charging for users sharing the same service accumulation amount, and the master node is responsible for the distribution of users and accumulation amount, and each slave node can charge users in parallel, which improves the charging efficiency. The overall performance of the system has been improved to meet the needs of real-time billing in the case of a large number of users and a surge in bills.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a charging method and a charging system. Background technique [0002] At present, there are many services that allow multiple users to share the same amount of usage (such as sharing the duration of a call, sharing a traffic package, etc.). The usage of a business is often referred to as the cumulative amount. [0003] In the billing link, when the existing billing system calculates the charges of these users who share the accumulated amount of the same service, it must require that the billing data and bill data of these users be processed at the same node, and the accumulated amount of shared services must be processed at the same node. The accumulated amount is stored in a place that all users can access, and the accumulated amount is deducted according to the arrival time of the bill, and the deduction of the same shared accumulated amount by different users must be m...
