Charging method based on data flow quantity

Abstract

A charges counting method based on data flow rate includes the follows: first, judging whether or not the input and output data packet occurred by the User is needing adjustment for the data flow rate, the adjustment will be carried out for actual data flow rate of the User according to the set-condition if the adjustment is needed; the data flow rate having been adjusted will be recorded as a basis flow rate of charges counting for the User or otherwise actual data flow rate of the User will be recorded as a basis flow rate of charges counting for the user and the basis flow rate of charges counting for the User will be utilized for counting the charges.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for charging network access services according to data traffic generated by users. Background technique [0002] Currently, billing for network access services is usually calculated according to the length of time a user spends surfing the Internet, rather than using the input and output data traffic that occurs during the user's access to the network. With the continuous development of network technology, billing only based on the length of access to the network can no longer meet the actual needs, and it is an inevitable trend to bill based on the input and output data traffic that occurs during the user's access to the network. [0003] In the existing technical solutions based on data traffic billing, billing is only based on the actual data traffic generated by the user, and the data traffic generated by the user for different services is treated equally without distinction based on the specific business content p...

With the continuous development of network technology, billing only based on the length of access to the network can no longer meet the actual needs, and it is an inevitable trend to use billing based on the input and output data traffic that occurs during the user's access to the network

[0003] In the existing technical solutions based on data traffic billing, billing is only based on the actual data traffic generated by the user, and the data traffic generated by the user for different services is treated equally without distinction based on the specific business content provided by the specific operator. Billing, so the above technical solution has the following disadvantages: First, it is impossible to adjust the actual data traffic to reduce the rate: for the mutual access of internal users provided by the operator, the popular services provided by the operator for users, and the traffic Especially large but low-rate services (such as video-on-demand services), etc., when actually operating such services, operators hope to use lower rates to provide services for visiting users, but due to current planning The fee technology records the actual data traffic and charges according to the actual data traffic, so it cannot meet this requirement; second, it cannot adjust the actual data traffic to increase the rate: some services provided by operators, business The amount of data is not large, so the traffic generated when users use this service is not large, but the data has a high value. Therefore, when actually operating this type of service, operators often hope to adopt a higher rate Users provide services. Similarly, because the current billing technology records the actual data traffic and charges based on the actual data traffic, it cannot meet this requirement.
