Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1) The threshold for users to use content is too high, which limits the growth rate and development scope of the user base
[0005] 2) The willingness of ICP to develop new services is not strong, because its income has been limited by the contract and has no direct relationship with the quality of content, which restricts the development of ICP
[0007] 1) The technology is complicated, there are many collection points, and the cost is high
[0008] 2) Real-time billing and prepayment are not possible
[0009] 3) Identifying users based on IP addresses cannot be applied to private network addresses or NAT / PROXY (address translation / proxy), and has timeliness restrictions, because this address will be assigned to different users at different times
[0010] 4) To identify content based on URL, the amount of data is large, and the amount of information maintenance is also large
Moreover, for services that require streaming connection negotiation (such as video-on-demand VOD based on the real-time streaming protocol RTSP), the URL cannot accurately describe the content
[0011] 3. The charging mode based on e-commerce is more suitable for pay-per-view / download content services, but not suitable for communication services or services that are charged according to duration and flow; more trouble

example 1

[0047] image 3 It describes the charging process when the user consumes the service for a service that can be charged according to the duration (of course, there may be other methods) and the user also chooses this charging method.

[0048] 1) After the ICP obtains the user's SSO certificate, it starts to consume content, and the ICP starts the charging session.

[0049] 2) Before calling other API functions, first call the initialization function CAPIInit (only the English name of the function is marked in the figure, the same below) to establish a session handle. If it has already been called, it is not necessary to call it.

[0050] 3) The ICP starts the charging session through the charging start request function CAPIChargeBeginReq, and the API is converted into a message by the ICP Proxy and sent to the iSC.

[0051] 4) The iSC establishes a charging session on the Bill Engine, and if it is a prepaid user, returns a budgeted time interval for the next report.

example 2

[0058] Figure 4 Describes an ICP that can charge by itself, only needs the ISP billing system to deduct the charge, and the billing process when the user consumes services.

[0059] 1) After the ICP obtains the user's SSO certificate, it starts to consume content, and the ICP starts the charging session.

[0060] 2) Before calling other API functions, first call the initialization function CAPIInit, if it has already been called, you don't need to call it.

[0061] 3) ICP requests to reserve a certain amount through the deduction reservation request function CAPIAccountReserveReq, and the API is converted into a message by ICP Proxy and sent to iSC.

[0062] 4) iSC establishes a reserved session on Bill Engine, and if it is a prepaid user, the reserved amount shall be deducted from the user's balance. If the reservation is not enough, the ICP can terminate the content service to the user.

[0063] 5) After the user consumes for a certain period, the ICP calls the reserve d...

Abstract

A paying method for content of Internet includes the following: resetting URL to ISP which creates a SSO certificate for confirming status of consuming body, before the client carrying on content consuming on ICP and fee counting or deducting to be processed unitedly also by ISP; the client only needing to log-on ISP once or twice, no need to log-on each ICP repeatedly when the client is viewing pay content; the value chain connecting the client and ICP to have been established by ICP with utilizing the existed operation channel of ISP to overcome problem of fee collection difficulty of ICP.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for realizing Internet (Internet) content payment, that is, to the problem of charging for the content consumption of individual users on the Internet network. Background technique: [0002] There is no clear business model for content charging on the Internet, especially on broadband networks. As for the concept of content charging, everyone realizes that it is the key to solving the value chain. Billing method: [0003] 1. Simple monthly rental model, regardless of the billing for specific information content, ICP (Internet Content Provider) and ISP (Internet Service Provider) settle the income according to the agreement. This pattern results in: [0004] 1) The threshold for users to use content is too high, which limits the growth rate and development scope of the user group. [0005] 2) ICP is not very willing to develop new services, because its income is already limited by contracts and has no direct connect...
