The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by showing examples of the present application.

[0050] It is to be noted that, in the present document, relational terms such as first and second and the like can be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. An element proceeded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.

[0051] To solve the problems in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide a traffic billing method, device, equipment and computer storage medium. The traffic billing method can be applied to a scenario that a billing system of a mobile communication operator bills multiple traffic packages subscribed by a user, wherein the mobile communication operator can be, for example, a mobile, a telecom, a Unicom and other operators. The traffic billing method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced first.

[0052] Figure 1 A flowchart of a traffic billing method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, the traffic billing method can specifically include the following steps: Figure 1

[0053] S110, obtaining user traffic call data and user traffic information subscribed by the user, wherein the user traffic information includes information of a traffic package, usage time information of each traffic package, and tariff information of each traffic package.

[0054] The user traffic call data can be traffic usage record information of the user in a period of time, and the user traffic information can include information of a traffic package subscribed by the user and corresponding minimum atomic element information of each traffic package, wherein the minimum atomic element information can include usage time information and tariff information. The usage time information can be a usage time range of the package, such as a 3-day package, a 5-day package and a 1-month package, and the tariff information can be traffic unit price information of the package, such as 5 yuan per megabyte of the package A.

[0055] ​In addition, the minimum atomic element information can be extracted according to a minimum atomic element registration table, such as the minimum atomic element registration table shown in Table 1. The minimum atomic element can include information such as carryover attribute, region, business use range, use time, cost, sharing attribute, out-of-package cost, and reserved field, and the reserved field can extend the minimum atomic element.

[0057]

[0058] S120, according to the use time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package, determining a first target traffic package with the lowest cost and a time length from a current time to a use deadline of the first target traffic package less than a preset time length threshold.

[0059] The first target traffic package can be a traffic package with the lowest cost and a time length from a use deadline of the traffic package to a current time less than a preset time length threshold among the traffic packages subscribed by the user, wherein the preset time length threshold can be a time length set arbitrarily according to needs. The use time and cost of each traffic package subscribed by the user are compared, and a traffic package that will expire soon is preferentially selected.

[0060] For example, user traffic bills and user-subscribed user traffic information are obtained. The user traffic bills show the amount of traffic used by the user, and the user-subscribed traffic packages include a 30-yuan 5G traffic package A and a 10-yuan 3G traffic package B. According to the use time information of the traffic packages, it is calculated that the traffic package A has 1 day to the deadline, and the traffic package B has 5 days to the deadline. Therefore, the traffic package A is preferentially selected to charge the user traffic bills.

[0061] S130, charging the user traffic bills according to the first target traffic package.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, if the traffic in the first target traffic package is less than the traffic used by the user in the user traffic bills, after charging the user traffic bills with the corresponding traffic in the first target traffic package, the above steps are repeated to determine the first target traffic package for subsequent charging.

[0063] Exemplarily, the user traffic bill shows that the user has used 6G traffic, the user subscribes to a 30-yuan 5G traffic package A, a 10-yuan 3G traffic package B, and a 15-yuan 4G traffic package C, according to the usage time information, it is calculated that the traffic package A has 1 day to reach the time limit, and the traffic packages B and C have 5 days to reach the time limit, the traffic package A is preferentially selected to charge the user traffic bill, and the remaining 1G traffic is charged by using the traffic package B.

[0064] Therefore, by obtaining the user traffic bill and the user traffic information subscribed by the user, and according to the usage time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package, the traffic package with the lowest cost and the time length from the cutoff usage time of each traffic package to the current time less than the preset time length threshold is determined, and then the user traffic bill is charged according to the traffic package, so that it is not necessary to compare and sort all traffic packages in the network, but the traffic package information is less and the sorting is simple, and the user's use experience is improved.

[0065] Based on this, in an optional implementation, the user traffic information further includes regional information of each traffic package; the S120 of determining the first target traffic package with the lowest cost and the time length from the cutoff usage time of each traffic package to the current time less than the preset time length threshold according to the usage time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package can specifically include:

[0066] When the regional information includes the first regional information or the second regional information, the first target traffic package with the lowest cost and the time length from the cutoff usage time of each traffic package to the current time less than the preset time length threshold is determined from the traffic package corresponding to the first regional information or the second regional information according to the usage time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package.

[0067] In the embodiment of the application, the regional information can be the region limit of the traffic package, the first regional information can represent international, and the second regional information can represent domestic, wherein the domestic can be further divided into local and non-local, which is not limited here.

[0068] Exemplarily, the user traffic bill shows the amount of traffic used by the user, and the region where the traffic is used is domestic, and the user subscribes to traffic package A, which is a 30-yuan 5G domestic traffic package, traffic package B, which is a 10-yuan 3G domestic traffic package, and traffic package C, which is a 10-yuan 3G international traffic package. Then, the usage time and the cost of traffic package A and traffic package B are compared to determine that the time length of the cutoff usage time of each traffic package from the current time is less than the preset time length threshold, and the traffic package with the lowest cost is the first target traffic package, and then the user traffic bill is charged.

[0069] Therefore, according to the region information of each traffic package, it can be determined whether each traffic package is suitable for domestic or international, so that the selection of the first target traffic package is more accurate, and the accuracy of traffic charging is improved.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the user traffic information further includes service usage range information, and the service usage range information represents that the traffic package is directional traffic or non-directional traffic. When the region information includes the second region information, the step 120 of determining the first target traffic package with the lowest cost from each traffic package whose cutoff usage time from the current time is less than the preset time length threshold according to the usage time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package can further include:

[0071] When the region information is the second region information, and the service usage range information represents that the traffic of the traffic package is directional traffic or non-directional traffic, the first target traffic package with the lowest cost is determined from the traffic package corresponding to the second region information according to the usage time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package, and the cutoff usage time of each traffic package from the current time is less than the preset time length threshold.

[0072] In the embodiment of the application, the service usage range information can be platform range information of the traffic package, and the directional traffic can be data traffic generated by using a specific platform when surfing the Internet in the domestic, wherein the specific service can be a specified application, content, etc. The non-directional traffic can be data traffic that can be used on any platform when surfing the Internet in the domestic.

[0073] Exemplarily, the region where the user has used the traffic is domestic in the user traffic information, the use range is non-directional traffic, and the traffic package A subscribed by the user is a 30-yuan 5G domestic non-directional traffic package, the traffic package B is a 10-yuan 3G domestic non-directional traffic package, and the traffic package C is a 10-yuan 3G domestic directional traffic package. Then, the use time and the cost of the traffic package A and the traffic package B are compared again to determine that the time length of the cut-off use time of each traffic package from the current time is less than the preset time length threshold, and the traffic package with the lowest cost is the first target traffic package, and then the user traffic bill is charged.

[0074] Therefore, by judging whether each traffic package is applicable to non-directional traffic or directional traffic according to the service use range information of each traffic package, the traffic package can be selected accordingly.

[0075] In an optional implementation, the user traffic information further includes carry-over attribute information, the carry-over attribute information representing whether to include carry-over traffic. When the region information is the second region information and the service use range information represents that the traffic of the traffic package is non-directional traffic, the step 120 of determining the first target traffic package with the lowest cost according to the use time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package can further include:

[0076] When the region information is the second region information, the service use range information represents that the traffic of the traffic package is non-directional traffic, and the carry-over attribute information represents no carry-over traffic, the first target traffic package with the lowest cost is determined from the traffic package corresponding to the second region information according to the use time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package.

[0077] In the embodiment of the application, the carry-over traffic can be the traffic that is not used up last month and is carried over to the next month.

[0078] Exemplarily, the region where the user has used the traffic is domestic in the user traffic information, the use range is non-directional traffic, and the traffic package A subscribed by the user is a 30-yuan 5G domestic non-directional traffic package, the traffic package B is a 10-yuan 3G domestic non-directional traffic package, and the traffic package C is a 10-yuan 3G domestic directional traffic package. Then, the use time and the cost of the traffic package A and the traffic package B are compared again to determine that the time length of the cut-off use time of each traffic package from the current time is less than the preset time length threshold, and the traffic package with the lowest cost is the first target traffic package, and then the user traffic bill is charged.

[0079] Therefore, by judging whether there is carry-over traffic in the user traffic information according to the carry-over attribute information, the carry-over traffic can be preferentially selected to charge the user traffic bill, and the customer satisfaction is improved.

[0080] In an optional implementation, the flow charging method can further include:

[0081] When the region information is the second region information, the service usage range information indicates that the flow of the flow package is non-directional flow, and the carryover attribute information indicates that the carryover flow is included, the carryover flow package corresponding to the carryover flow is determined as the first target flow package.

[0082] For example, the user flow information shows that the region where the user has used the flow is domestic, the usage range is non-directional flow, and there is carryover flow, the carryover flow is the flow package A subscribed by the user last month, and there is remaining flow carried over to this month, and the carryover flow in the flow package A is used to charge the user flow bill preferentially.

[0083] Therefore, after determining that there is carryover flow in the user flow information, the carryover flow is preferentially selected to charge the user flow bill, and the user experience is improved.

[0084] In an optional implementation, the user flow information further includes sharing attribute information, the sharing attribute information indicates that the flow package is enterprise flow and family flow, and the flow charging method can further include:

[0085] When the flow of the first target flow package is used up, and the sharing attribute information indicates that the flow package is enterprise flow and family flow, a flow package whose time length from the cutoff use time to the current time is less than a preset time length threshold and whose cost is the lowest is determined from the flow packages corresponding to the sharing attribute information, and the flow package is the second target flow package.

[0086] The user flow bill is charged according to the second target flow package.

[0087] In the embodiments of the application, the flow package corresponding to the sharing attribute information can be an enterprise flow package or a family flow package that can be shared with specific personnel, and the specific personnel can be personnel set in advance. In addition, the second target flow package can be a flow package determined from the flow packages corresponding to the sharing attribute information.

[0088] For example, the user flow information shows that the flow in the personal flow package subscribed by the user and the carryover flow has been used up, and the sharing attribute information indicates that there are enterprise and family flow packages for sharing, and then the usage time and the cost of the enterprise and family flow packages are compared to determine a flow package whose time length from the cutoff use time to the current time is less than a preset time length threshold and whose cost is the lowest, and the flow package is the second target flow package, and the user flow bill is charged.

[0089] Thus, by judging whether there is a shared traffic package according to the shared attribute information, and further using the shared traffic package when the traffic in the personal traffic package and the transferred traffic subscribed by the user is used up, the user experience is improved.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, the user traffic information further comprises out-of-package tariff information; and the traffic charging method specifically can further comprise:

[0091] When it is judged that the traffic of each traffic package is used up, determining the out-of-package traffic tariff with the lowest tariff corresponding to the out-of-package tariff information;

[0092] Charging the user traffic bill according to the out-of-package traffic tariff.

[0093] In the embodiment of the application, the out-of-package tariff information can be a tariff for using traffic outside the traffic package.

[0094] Exemplarily, when it is shown in the user traffic information that all the traffic in the traffic package subscribed by the user is used up, the out-of-package traffic tariff with the lowest tariff is determined from the out-of-package tariff information, and then the user traffic bill is charged.

[0095] Thus, by judging the out-of-package traffic tariff with the lowest tariff corresponding to the out-of-package tariff information, and further using the out-of-package traffic tariff with the lowest tariff when the traffic in the traffic package subscribed by the user is used up, the user experience is further improved.

[0114] The charging module 203 is further configured to charge the user traffic bill according to the out-of-package traffic cost.

[0115] Therefore, by obtaining the user traffic bill and the user subscribed user traffic information, and according to the use time information of each traffic package and the cost information of each traffic package, a traffic package with a time length from a cutoff use time point to a current time less than a preset time length threshold and with the lowest cost is determined, and then the user traffic bill is charged according to the traffic package, so that it is not necessary to compare and sort all traffic packages in the network, but the charging starts from a traffic package with a time length from a cutoff use time point to a current time less than a preset time length threshold and with the lowest cost among the traffic packages currently subscribed by the user, the traffic package information is less and the sorting is simple, and the use experience of the user is improved.
