[0042] In the above-mentioned operating environment, an embodiment of the present application provides an embodiment of a method for handling communication failures. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0043] Figure 2is a flow chart of a method for processing a communication failure according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step S202, obtaining the account status of a target broadband account in the fixed telephone network system, wherein the target broadband account is a wired broadband account;

[0045] Step S204, when the account status is offline, sending a first instruction to the core network element, wherein the first instruction is used to control the core network element to switch the target broadband account to the corresponding wireless network broadband account;

[0046] Step S206: When the account status is updated from the offline status to the normal status, a second instruction is sent to the core network element, wherein the second instruction is used to control the core network element to switch the wireless network broadband account to the corresponding wired broadband account.

[0047] In the above steps S202 to S206, the communication processing system obtains the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed-line telephone network system in real time, and sends corresponding instructions to the core network element according to different account statuses, thereby achieving the purpose of switching between using a wired broadband network and using a wireless broadband network.

[0048] In step S202 of the above-mentioned method for handling communication failures, the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed-line telephone network system is obtained, which specifically includes the following steps: determining the status type of the target broadband account, wherein the status type includes an offline status and a normal status; when the status type is an offline status, determining the offline type of the target broadband account, wherein the offline type includes a normal offline status and an abnormal offline status; determining the wired broadband account corresponding to the abnormal offline status as the account status of the target broadband account.

[0049] In the above steps, determining the offline type of the target broadband account specifically includes the following steps: when the first condition is met, determining the offline type of the target broadband account is normal offline; when the second condition is met, determining the offline type of the target broadband account is abnormal offline, wherein the offline reasons corresponding to the first condition and the second condition are different.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the communication processing system can, for example, detect and obtain the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed telephone network system through a real-time monitoring module. An interface is established between the real-time monitoring module and the fixed telephone network system (hereinafter referred to as the fixed network system). The fixed network system transmits the household broadband information of the entire province to the real-time monitoring module of the communication processing system. By analyzing the reason why the account status is offline, it is determined whether the account is normally offline or abnormally offline. If it is abnormally offline, the abnormally offline account or user is output and displayed, and the display content includes: broadband account, online time, offline time, online device, user MAC address and other information.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the first condition corresponding to the above-mentioned normal offline state may be, for example, a user requesting to terminate the service, expiration of the maximum session duration, administrator restarting the port or session, and user input error causing the session to terminate, etc. The second condition corresponding to the above-mentioned abnormal offline state may be, for example, data interruption, service interruption, port failure, NAS failure, and port deactivation, etc.

[0052] In step S204 of the above-mentioned method for handling communication failures, a first instruction is sent to the core network element, which specifically includes the following steps: based on the target broadband account, querying the wireless network broadband account corresponding to the target broadband account from the database; based on the target broadband account and the wireless network broadband account, notifying the core network element to start using the wireless network broadband account to access the Internet, and sending the first instruction to the core network element.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the communication processing system also includes a database, which is used to store wired broadband accounts, wireless network broadband accounts, and the mapping relationship between wired broadband accounts and wireless network broadband accounts. The communication processing system also includes a query module, which accurately matches the wireless network broadband account (such as a mobile service account) corresponding to the abnormally offline wired broadband account through the database, and displays the relevant information of the wireless network broadband account, including: wireless service account (such as a mobile service account), account opening mobile phone number and other information.

[0054] After determining the wireless network broadband account corresponding to the abnormally offline wired broadband account, the communication processing system sends a first instruction to the core network element, for example, the automatic trigger module of the communication processing system sends the first instruction to the core network element. The automatic trigger module connects to the network element of the core network (referred to as the core network element) to enable and disable the wireless Internet access service on the network element side. In this way, after the wired broadband account is abnormally offline, the automatic trigger module will enable the wireless Internet access instruction, and the user will smoothly switch from the wired broadband service to the wireless Internet access service without affecting the user's Internet access perception.

[0055] In the above steps, the wireless network broadband account corresponding to the target broadband account is queried from the database, which specifically includes the following steps: determining the wireless service identifier corresponding to the target broadband account from the database; based on the wireless service identifier, determining the wireless service information corresponding to the wireless service identifier, wherein the wireless service information at least includes the wireless network broadband account.

[0056] In step S206 of the above-mentioned method for handling communication failures, a second instruction is sent to the core network element, which specifically includes the following steps: obtaining the account status of the target broadband account from the fixed-line telephone network system at a preset frequency; when the account status is updated from an offline state to a normal state, determining that the fault in the fixed-line telephone network system has been repaired; sending a second instruction to the core network element, and notifying the core network element to stop using the wireless network broadband account to access the Internet.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, after the wired broadband service is restored, the automatic trigger module turns off the wireless Internet access instruction on the network element side, so that the user can resume the Internet access with the original wired broadband account. In addition, the automatic trigger module can display the user operation log in the system webpage, including: the user's current Internet access mode, broadband online / offline time, wireless service online / offline time, etc.

[0058] In the above-mentioned method for handling communication failures, the method also includes the following steps: displaying the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed-line telephone network system on a first page; determining the execution operation corresponding to the account status, wherein the execution operation includes a first operation and a second operation, the first operation is used to send a query request to the database, and display the query result on the second page, the second operation is used to send an instruction to the core network element, and display the network usage on a third page, the instruction includes at least one of the following: the first instruction and the second instruction, and the network usage includes at least one of the following: a wireless network broadband account and a wired broadband account.

[0059] The communication failure processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application can use wireless network broadband to access the Internet in a timely manner when the fixed network broadband service is interrupted, realize the network connection capability after the broadband is disconnected, smoothly transition the service, ensure the customer's ability to access the network, realize the user's non-perception during the failure, and reduce the impact of external factors on the broadband service. After the wired broadband failure is restored, the wireless network broadband (such as mobile network hotspot) service is automatically closed and switched back to the original wired broadband Internet access.

[0060] The communication fault processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application has the following differences compared with the existing broadband fault diagnosis and repair methods:

[0061] (1) Different fault handling angles. The existing broadband fault repair methods all handle faults from the perspective of fault repair, rather than from the perspective of service recovery. The disadvantage is that the normal use of the broadband network will continue to be affected before the fault is completely repaired. If the physical line interruption is caused by a natural disaster, the recovery time is generally long, which seriously affects the user's perception of use. This method does not meet the first principle of fault handling of "recovery first, then handling". The communication fault handling method provided in this application can restore network services in real time in the scenario of wired broadband service interruption, ensuring the customer's ability to continue using the broadband network.

[0062] (2) Real-time judgment function of abnormal user offline. Traditional broadband fault diagnosis and repair methods require the system to be repaired after determining that a fault has occurred, and lack the function of real-time detection of broadband accounts and proactive discovery of abnormalities. The communication processing system of the present application analyzes the reasons for user offlineness, and defines offline reasons such as user request to terminate the service, expiration of the maximum session duration, administrator restart of the port or session, and user input error causing session termination as normal user offlineness, and defines reasons such as data interruption, service interruption, port failure, NAS failure, and port deactivation as abnormal user offlineness. Conduct detailed analysis of the offline reasons of broadband users, monitor in real time and proactively discover abnormally offline broadband accounts, laying the foundation for subsequent processing.

[0063] (3) Real-time response mechanism for abnormal interruptions. Traditional broadband fault diagnosis and repair methods focus on fault diagnosis and fault handling, and lack a corresponding mechanism for real-time service recovery. The communication processing system of the present application, when detecting that the broadband is abnormally offline, will open the wireless network broadband account (such as mobile hotspot service) in real time to continue to ensure the user's network access capability, so that abnormal interruptions of the broadband network will not affect the use of the home network, thereby solving the negative perception of users caused by network failures.

[0064] Figure 3 is a flowchart of another method for processing a communication failure according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0065] Step S302, when the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed telephone network system is offline, receiving a first instruction sent by the communication processing system, wherein the first instruction is used to control the core network element to switch the target broadband account to a corresponding wireless network broadband account, and the target broadband account is a wired broadband account;

[0066] Step S304, when the account status is updated from the offline status to the normal status, receiving a second instruction sent by the communication processing system, wherein the second instruction is used to control the core network element to switch the wireless network broadband account to the corresponding wired broadband account.

[0067] In the above steps S302 to S304, the communication processing system obtains the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed-line telephone network system in real time, and sends corresponding instructions to the core network element according to different account statuses. The core network element receives different instructions sent from the communication processing system according to the account status of the broadband account in the fixed-line telephone network system, and then switches different broadband accounts to access the Internet, thereby achieving the purpose of switching between using a wired broadband network and using a wireless broadband network.

[0068] Figure 4 is a structural diagram of a communication failure processing device according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device comprises:

[0069] The acquisition module 402 is used to acquire the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed telephone network system, wherein the target broadband account is a wired broadband account;

[0070] A first sending module 404 is used to send a first instruction to the core network element when the account status is offline, wherein the first instruction is used to control the core network element to switch the target broadband account to the corresponding wireless network broadband account;

[0071] The second sending module 406 is used to send a second instruction to the core network element when the account status is updated from the offline status to the normal status, wherein the second instruction is used to control the core network element to switch the wireless network broadband account to the corresponding wired broadband account.

[0072] In the acquisition module in the above-mentioned communication failure processing device, the account status of the target broadband account in the fixed-line telephone network system is obtained, which specifically includes the following processes: determining the status type of the target broadband account, wherein the status type includes an offline status and a normal status; when the status type is an offline status, determining the offline type of the target broadband account, wherein the offline type includes a normal offline status and an abnormal offline status; determining the wired broadband account corresponding to the abnormal offline status as the account status of the target broadband account.

[0073] In the acquisition module in the above-mentioned communication failure processing device, the offline type of the target broadband account is determined, which specifically includes the following process: when the first condition is met, the offline type of the target broadband account is determined to be normal offline; when the second condition is met, the offline type of the target broadband account is determined to be abnormal offline, wherein the offline reasons corresponding to the first condition and the second condition are different.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the first condition corresponding to the above-mentioned normal offline state may be, for example, a user requesting to terminate the service, expiration of the maximum session duration, administrator restarting the port or session, and user input error causing the session to terminate, etc. The second condition corresponding to the above-mentioned abnormal offline state may be, for example, data interruption, service interruption, port failure, NAS failure, and port deactivation, etc.

[0075] In the first sending module in the above-mentioned communication failure processing device, a first instruction is sent to the core network element, which specifically includes the following processes: based on the target broadband account, querying the wireless network broadband account corresponding to the target broadband account from the database; based on the target broadband account and the wireless network broadband account, notifying the core network element to start using the wireless network broadband account to access the Internet, and sending the first instruction to the core network element.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the device further includes a database for storing wired broadband accounts, wireless network broadband accounts, and mapping relationships between wired broadband accounts and wireless network broadband accounts. The module accurately matches the wireless network broadband account (e.g., mobile service account) corresponding to the abnormally offline wired broadband account through the database, and displays relevant information of the wireless network broadband account, including: wireless service account (e.g., mobile service account), account opening mobile phone number, and other information.

[0077] After determining the wireless network broadband account corresponding to the abnormally offline wired broadband account, the communication processing system sends a first instruction to the core network element to enable and disable the wireless Internet access service on the network element side.
