[0021] With the continuous development of IPv6 and the Internet of Things, more and more home appliances in users' homes have networking functions. There are many types of home IoT devices with different needs. Most billing systems only charge according to the overall broadband usage, which is difficult to meet users' traffic monitoring and differentiated billing needs for different devices or device groups.

In this way, the high bandwidth and low cost characteristics of the existing home fixed network can be used to expand a wireless Wi-Fi network for the home Internet of Things smart device, which not only realizes full network coverage, but also reduces the user's tariff cost compared to the traditional mobile network.

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things elastic billing system disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0024] Embodiment 1:

[0025] The embodiment of the present invention provides a flexible billing system for a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things. Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things elastic billing system is shown, the shared IPv6 home Internet of Things elastic billing system includes: an operator access server, a billing server, a home gateway and a home Internet of Things device;

[0026] The operator access server is used to allocate broadband accounts and passwords to home users, and allocate a first IPv6 address prefix and a second IPv6 address prefix to each home gateway; wherein the first IPv6 address prefix is ​​used for broadband services, and the second IPv6 address prefix is ​​used for home Internet of Things services;

[0027] The billing server is used to monitor the uplink and downlink traffic of each home IoT device and record the traffic data of each home IoT device; calculate the cost of the traffic data of the home IoT according to the preset billing strategy and generate a fee bill;

[0028] The home gateway is used to use the first prefix of the IPv6 address assigned by the operator and the second prefix of the IPv6 address to respectively set up two subnets for broadband services and home IoT services, thereby isolating broadband traffic data and home IoT device traffic data;

[0029] Home IoT devices are used to access the home gateway and communicate using the home IoT service subnet isolated from the broadband service and the allocated IPv6 address.

[0030] This embodiment provides a flexible billing system based on a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things, which aims to solve the problems existing in the broadband billing management process of existing home Internet of Things devices. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the overall structure of a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things elastic billing system is shown, and the technical solution is as follows:

[0031] Step 1: The operator will assign a unique account and password to each home user for connection authentication. It will also assign two IPv6 address prefixes (i.e., the first IPv6 address prefix and the second IPv6 address prefix) to each home gateway through the DHCPv6-PD (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6Prefix Delegation) protocol. One address prefix (i.e., the first IPv6 address prefix) is used for traditional broadband services, and the other address prefix (i.e., the second IPv6 address prefix) is used for home IoT services. On the basis of home broadband, a bandwidth of no less than 20M is added, which is dedicated to home physical network devices.

[0032] Step 2: The flexible billing system of the shared IPv6 home IoT (referred to as the billing system) is connected to the operator's broadband remote access server BRAS (Broadband Remote Access Server), which is responsible for completing user authentication, collecting home broadband traffic and identifying home IoT traffic.

[0033] Step 3: The user installs and configures the home IoT gateway, connects to the operator's broadband remote access server, completes identity authentication using the user's broadband account and password, obtains two IPv6 address prefixes, binds the traditional home broadband service and the home IoT service respectively, and sets and enables the default home IoT Wi-Fi SSID.

[0034] Step 4: The home IoT device is started and connected to the default home IoT Wi-Fi SSID of the home IoT gateway. The home gateway automatically assigns an IPv6 address to the device through the home IoT IPv6 address prefix in step 3, allowing the home IoT device to access the home network.

[0035] Step 5: The home IoT device communicates through the IPv6 address allocated by the home gateway in step 4.

[0036] Step 6: The billing system includes a variety of differentiated billing strategies to meet the usage requirements of different devices and provide transparent and controllable billing methods. For example, different billing rules are used based on traffic, time, device category, business type, etc.

[0037] Step 7: The billing system identifies IoT devices through IPv6 addresses or data packet headers, collects traffic data of each device, collects traffic data of all devices under the home gateway, calculates fees according to the billing strategy in step 6, and generates a detailed bill.

[0038] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned home gateway is used to allocate an IPv6 address prefix and a unique IPv6 address to the home IoT device, and isolate the home IoT device traffic data from the broadband traffic data.

[0039] The home gateway in this embodiment allocates an IPv6 address prefix to the home IoT device, allocates a unique IPv6 address, and isolates the traffic data of the home IoT device from traditional broadband traffic data.

[0040] In some embodiments, the billing server is used to identify home IoT traffic data by comparing the IPv6 address identifier of the home IoT device with the second prefix of the IPv6 address provided by the operator.

[0041] The billing server in this embodiment identifies the home IoT traffic data by comparing the home IoT device IPv6 address identifier with the home IoT IPv6 address prefix provided by the operator.

[0042] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned billing server is used to collect home Internet of Things traffic data, classify the home Internet of Things traffic data according to device type, and record the home Internet of Things traffic data of different types of devices.

[0043] The billing server in this embodiment collects home IoT traffic data and classifies it according to device type, recording different types of device traffic.

[0044] In some embodiments, the billing server supports a zero-rate (free) or low-rate mode for providing free or low-cost network access services.

[0045] The flexible billing system of the shared IPv6 home Internet of Things in this embodiment can implement billing modes that are differentiated from traditional home broadband, such as zero-rate (free) and low-rate modes.

[0046] In some embodiments, the billing server supports a billing model that is differentiated from traditional home broadband, and is used to calculate the home IoT fees corresponding to the home IoT traffic data, ensuring that users can enjoy the most appropriate billing service. Among them, the billing system supports generating statistical reports based on traffic and time.

[0047] The billing server in this embodiment calculates the home Internet of Things fees according to a plurality of preset billing rules, including various billing strategies such as flow rate and time. Compared with the traditional broadband service fees, the home Internet of Things flow fees are relatively low.

[0048] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned billing server is used to generate fees and bills for home Internet of Things devices for each home gateway; wherein the fees belong to the user based on the user's settings.

[0049] The billing server in this embodiment generates a home IoT device traffic bill and fees for each home gateway. The fees support customized attribution users and are borne by home broadband users by default.

[0050] The embodiment of the present invention provides a flexible billing system for a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things, including: a home broadband access server of a telecom operator, a billing server, a home broadband gateway device and a home Internet of Things smart terminal device, wherein the home broadband gateway device supplements the signal coverage of the traditional cellular network of the telecom operator and acts as a wireless indoor distribution system, and the Wi-Fi (mobile hotspot) network SSID (Service Set Identifier) ​​dedicated to the IPv6 home Internet of Things device is enabled by default, and the home Internet of Things smart terminal Wi-Fi communication module automatically connects to the hidden SSID within the signal coverage, realizes automatic network connection through standardized preset authentication information, allocates a globally unique IPv6 network address, and then connects to the home Internet of Things access platform, realizes two-way direct connection management of the device, and creates a smarter home application scenario. For such home Internet of Things smart terminal network traffic, a billing method and settlement mechanism without adding additional charges is realized between multiple home networks and broadband accounts, and between cross-operators. In this way, the high bandwidth and low cost characteristics of the existing home fixed network can be used to expand a wireless Wi-Fi network for the home Internet of Things smart device, which not only realizes full network coverage, but also reduces the user's tariff cost compared to the traditional mobile network.

[0051] Embodiment 2:

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention provides another elastic billing system for a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things. This embodiment is implemented on the basis of the above embodiment, and focuses on describing the detailed implementation method of the elastic billing system for a shared IPv6 home Internet of Things, covering the main processes such as home Internet of Things configuration, Internet of Things device connection, traffic monitoring, fee calculation and user notification. The technical solution is as follows:

[0053] Step 1, see Figure 3 The schematic diagram of a home network of a shared IPv6 home IoT flexible billing system is shown. The operator assigns a unique account and password to each home user for configuration in the WAN (Wide Area Network) interface of the home gateway. The operator assigns two IPv6 address prefixes to the home gateway through the DHCPv6 protocol Prefix Delegation prefix mode, one of which is used for traditional home broadband services (such as 2001:db8:abcd:1:: / 64) and the other is used for home IoT services (such as 2001:db8:abcd:2:: / 64).

[0054] Step 2, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the billing system is connected to the operator's broadband remote access server BRAS, which is responsible for completing user authentication, collecting home broadband traffic, and identifying home IoT traffic through the home IoT IPv6 address prefix (such as 2001:db8:abcd:2:: / 64).

[0055] Step three, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the user installs the home IoT gateway, connects to the operator's broadband remote access server, and completes identity authentication using the user's broadband account and password. Then, two subnets are configured using the IPv6 address prefix, one for home broadband service and one for home IoT service (such as 2001:db8:abcd:2:: / 64). Set and enable the default home IoT Wi-Fi SSID.

[0056] Step 4: Figure 3 As shown, the home IoT smart door lock device (referred to as "door lock") is started and connected to the home IoT Wi-Fi of the home IoT gateway. The home gateway uses the IPv6 prefix (such as 2001:db8:abcd:2:: / 64) to allocate an IPv6 address (such as 2001:db8:abcd:2:1:1:1:1) to the door lock device according to the DHCPv6 protocol, and the door lock device is successfully connected to the home network.

[0057] Step 5: Figure 3 As shown, the door lock device uses the IPv6 address assigned by the home gateway (such as 2001:db8:abcd:2:1:1:1:1) for communication.

[0058] Step 6: The billing system pre-sets multiple sets of differentiated billing strategies to meet the usage requirements of different devices and provide transparent and controllable billing methods, such as billing strategies based on traffic, time, and device type.

[0059] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned flexible billing system provides a minimum bandwidth guarantee of 100Mbps for home IoT devices, and implements a service quality strategy with a higher priority than home broadband to ensure the stability and real-time performance of IoT traffic, give priority to the network needs of home IoT devices, and avoid conflicts with traditional home broadband traffic.

[0060] Step 7, see Figure 4A schematic diagram of communication billing for a home IoT device is shown, in which the billing system identifies the home IoT traffic through the IPv6 address prefix (such as 2001:db8:abcd:2:: / 64). For IoT traffic, the minimum bandwidth is guaranteed to be 100Mbps, and a high-priority QoS strategy can be implemented without occupying the capacity of the traditional home broadband network. For this IoT device traffic, a zero-rate or low-rate mode can be implemented. For traditional broadband service traffic, this embodiment can be charged according to the existing home broadband rates.
