Authenticating, charging, and managing method for public communication system

Abstract

The method comprises: the network side of public communication system authenticates the user using the public communication terminal; after passing the authentication, makes counting for the communication process of the user; the counting information is sent down to the public communication terminal used by the user; the public communication terminal displays the counting information to the user. The invention also discloses a management method for the public communication system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of public communication systems, in particular to an authentication, charging and management method of the public communication system. Background technique [0002] Along with the gradual improvement and improvement of mobile communication network and data communication network, people are using more and more public communication systems, such as public telephone systems or public multimedia information systems. [0003] However, in the existing public communication system, the user identity is generally authenticated by the public communication terminal, and the user is billed according to the user's usage status (such as information such as call duration) after the authentication is passed; In the existing public telephone system, by storing the user's account information and amount information in the account card carried by the user (such as an existing magnetic card or IC card, etc.), the user uses the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Illegal users can steal phone calls based on the public communication system by copying the account card, which hinders the reasonable charging principle of the public communication system and encourages illegal users to use the public communication system for fraudulent consumption.

[0005] At the same time, because in the public communication system, each public communication terminal is geographically dispersed, the operator cannot realize the unified management of all public communication terminals, for example, to charge all public communication terminals in the public communication system. To reset and modify, it is necessary to set the rate on each public communication terminal separately, which makes the management process of public communication terminals very cumbersome and complicated, and the management and maintenance costs are relatively high

Correspondingly, the network side cannot know in time the failure of the public communication terminal, so as to repair the failure of the public communication terminal in time; the network side cannot periodically unify the scattered public communication terminals below Online software version upgrade; in summary, in the existing public communication system, the management of scattered public communication terminals on the network side is still complicated and cumbersome, and the degree of intelligence is relatively low.
