Technical Field

[0002] In the context of the highly developed current Internet, enterprises, organizations, and even individual users are increasingly dependent on public IP addresses. As the only identifier for connecting to the Internet, public IP addresses are crucial for realizing the interconnection and interoperability of internal and external networks. However, the scarcity of public IP addresses and the complexity of their management make the reasonable allocation and cost control of public IP address resources an important issue in network operation and management.

[0003] In the related art, service users often make manual estimates and calculations based on the billing standards given by service providers. As a result, only the total network cost can be roughly calculated, and it is difficult to obtain accurate cost data. There are problems of low cost calculation efficiency and low accuracy, resulting in difficulty for operators to effectively schedule IP address resources.

[0040] It should be noted that the above one or more processors 102 and / or other data processing circuits are generally referred to as "data processing circuits" herein.

[0043] The display can be, for example, a touch-screen liquid crystal display (LCD), which enables the user to interact with the user interface of the computer terminal 10 (or mobile device).

[0044] Under the above operating environment, the present application provides a public network cost accounting method based on IP addresses as Figure 2 shown. The implementation subject of this method is a public network cost accounting system based on IP addresses, which is applied to the service usage side. The service usage side corresponds to the service provider side and refers to the party that purchases public IP addresses from the service provider side.

[0045] Figure 2 is a flowchart of an optional public network cost accounting method based on IP addresses according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown. The method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S201, obtain the network segment information and bandwidth information corresponding to the purchased public network.

[0047] In the above step S201, the public network is a network infrastructure that is open to the public in the Internet or wide area network and can be accessed globally. It is jointly constructed and maintained by many network service providers and realizes data exchange and communication globally through various technologies and protocols. The public network resources are rich, providing a large number of IP addresses, bandwidths and other network resources. Any individual, enterprise or organization can access the public network through the services purchased from network service providers. The service usage side is the terminal where the object of purchasing network services is located. When the service usage side purchases public network services from the service provider, the service provider will issue public IP addresses to the service usage side according to user needs and sign a payment agreement. The service usage side records the purchased public network and enters the payment agreement. The payment agreement records the network segment information and bandwidth information of the purchased public network segment, which is the basis for calculating the public network cost. The network segment information refers to the range of public IP addresses purchased by the user side from the network service provider, and the bandwidth information reflects the transmission capacity of the public network connection.

[0048] It should be noted that when the service user purchases and uses the public network service, certain usage costs will be incurred, which may specifically include: IP address rental fee. Due to the scarcity of IP address resources, enterprises or individuals need to rent public IP addresses from service providers, resulting in certain rental fees. Bandwidth fee. The bandwidth of the public network is the data transmission capacity, which determines the communication speed and capacity of the network. Service providers usually charge fees according to the bandwidth used by enterprises or individuals, including fixed bandwidth fees and traffic fees for the excess part. For enterprises, in the case of high load and high traffic requirements, the bandwidth fee may become the main part of the public network cost. Service fee: In addition to the basic network access and usage fees, enterprises may also need to pay additional service fees, such as network security services, load balancing services, etc. These services help optimize the performance and security of the public network.

[0049] Further, before obtaining the network segment information and bandwidth information corresponding to the purchased public network, it also includes: collecting the payment agreements signed with different service providers and the validity periods of the payment agreements, where the payment agreements at least include: the network segment information of the purchased public network, the bandwidth information of the purchased public network; and entering the payment agreements and the validity periods into the payment standard device.

[0050] In some embodiments, the network segment information and bandwidth information are obtained through the payment agreements. When the service user calculates the cost of the public network, it is first necessary to collect the payment agreements signed with different service providers and the validity periods of the agreements. These payment agreements should at least include the network segment information and bandwidth information of the purchased public network, as well as the charging standards for different network segments and different transmission bandwidths. And enter the payment agreements and the validity periods into the payment standard device. Subsequently, when performing real-time cost calculation, the payment standard device can be directly called to calculate the cost of the public network. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the subsequent cost calculation is based on accurate payment standards. By entering the payment agreements and their validity periods into the payment standard device, this method establishes a complete payment framework and provides an important data basis for the subsequent steps.

[0051] Alternatively, the payment standard device contains all the signed payment agreements and their validity periods. The payment agreement is a long-term cooperation agreement reached between the service user and the public network service provider, which details the charging rules and price terms for purchasing and using public IP addresses.

[0052] Step S202, call the payment standard device, query the payment standard device through the network segment information and bandwidth information, and calculate the total price of the network segment of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement based on the query result.

[0053] In the above step S202, after determining the network segment information and bandwidth information of the purchased public network, the service user end calls the payment standard device. Using the obtained bandwidth information, the service user end queries in the payment standard device to determine the bandwidth pricing standard, that is, the unit price charged by the service provider for different bandwidths. The bandwidth pricing standard may vary according to various factors such as agreements, regions, and time.

[0054] Furthermore, the service user end queries the price information of the public IP network segment and the validity period of the agreement according to the network segment information. The price information of the public IP network segment refers to the amount charged by the service provider for a specific network segment, and the validity period of the agreement refers to the effective time range of the payment agreement. These two pieces of data are crucial for cost accounting and directly determine the actual cost of the public network within the validity period of the agreement.

[0055] Further, the steps of querying the payment standard device through the network segment information and bandwidth information and calculating the total network segment price of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement include: querying the payment standard device through the bandwidth information to obtain the bandwidth pricing standard of the purchased public network; querying the payment standard device through the network segment information to determine the public network segment price and the validity period of the agreement of the purchased public network; calculating the bandwidth price of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement based on the bandwidth pricing standard and the bandwidth used by the purchased public network; calculating the total network segment price of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement based on the bandwidth price and the public network segment price.

[0056] Specifically, to achieve accurate and automated cost accounting, the service user end calls the query interface of the payment standard device and inputs the bandwidth information of the purchased public network to obtain the bandwidth pricing standard of the public network during the agreement period. The bandwidth pricing standard refers to the charging rules of the public network service provider for public IP addresses according to different bandwidth settings. At the same time, the service user end continues to call the payment standard device and queries through the network segment information to obtain the public network segment price and the specific validity period of the agreement of the purchased public network. The public network segment price refers to the charge of the service provider for a specific IP address range, and the validity period of the agreement defines the time range of cost accounting.

[0057] Furthermore, according to the bandwidth pricing standard and the actual bandwidth usage during the validity period of the agreement, the bandwidth usage cost can be calculated, that is, the bandwidth price of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement. The calculation of the bandwidth price fully considers the actual network usage situation, ensuring the accuracy of cost accounting. Finally, the bandwidth price calculated in the previous step is integrated with the above-determined public network segment price to calculate the total network segment price of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement. The total network segment price is the total expense of the service user end for the public network during the agreement period, including the network segment purchase cost and the bandwidth usage cost.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, through an automated, dynamic, and precise data query and processing mechanism, the efficiency and accuracy of public network cost accounting are significantly improved.

[0059] Further, the steps of calculating the bandwidth price of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement based on the bandwidth pricing standard and the bandwidth used by the purchased public network include: identifying the billing cycle and billing unit price defined in the bandwidth pricing standard; counting the actual used bandwidth of the purchased public network within the validity period of the agreement, where the actual used bandwidth includes peak bandwidth and average bandwidth; calculating the product of the actual used bandwidth and the billing unit price to obtain the bandwidth price of the purchased public network within a single billing cycle; multiplying the bandwidth price within a single billing cycle by the number of cycles within the validity period of the agreement to obtain the bandwidth price of the purchased public network throughout the validity period of the agreement.

[0060] Specifically, when calculating the bandwidth price, it is necessary to calculate in combination with the actual usage of the bandwidth. The service user end calls the interface of the payment standard device to read the bandwidth pricing standard information. The bandwidth pricing standard usually includes the billing cycle (for example, billing by month, quarter, or year) and the billing unit price within different cycles. Identifying this information is the premise for calculating the bandwidth price to ensure that the cost accounting is based on the correct billing rules. Then, the service user end statistically calculates the actual used bandwidth of the public network within the validity period of the agreement through methods such as network monitoring systems or log data collection. The actual used bandwidth includes peak bandwidth (the highest bandwidth usage at a certain point in time or within a cycle) and average bandwidth (the average bandwidth usage within a certain time range). These data reflect the actual demand and usage of the public network and are crucial for cost accounting. Further, perform a multiplication operation based on the actual used bandwidth and the billing unit price to obtain the bandwidth price of the public network within each billing cycle. Finally, multiply the bandwidth price within a single cycle by the number of cycles within the validity period of the agreement to obtain the total bandwidth price throughout the validity period of the agreement.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, calculating the bandwidth usage cost according to the actual bandwidth usage of the purchased public network provides dynamic and real-time traffic data for cost accounting, which helps the service user end adjust the bandwidth configuration according to the actual demand and optimize the cost.

[0062] Step S203: Obtain all the in-use public IP addresses, match the network segment to which each in-use public IP address belongs, and calculate the IP address unit price of the in-use public IP address within the validity period of the agreement based on the total price of the network segment within the validity period of the agreement.

[0063] In the above step S203, in addition to calculating the network segment summary, it is also necessary to calculate the usage cost of the public IP addresses in use to achieve more refined cost accounting. The service user end calls the interface of the network monitoring system or relevant network management tools to collect all the public IP addresses in use, that is, all the public IP addresses that are currently being used, and calculates the unit price of the public IP address in use based on the relationship between the public IP address in use and the network segment.

[0064] Further, the steps for calculating the unit price of the public IP address in use based on the total price of the network segment within the validity period of the agreement include: counting the total number of IP addresses in the network segment to which the public IP address in use belongs; calculating the unit price of the public IP address in use within the validity period of the agreement based on the total price of the network segment within the validity period of the agreement and the total number of public IP addresses in use in the network segment.

[0065] Specifically, when calculating the unit price of a single public IP address in use, it is first necessary to determine the network segment to which the public IP address in use belongs, and count the total number of IP addresses in the network segment to which the public IP address in use belongs. Then, calculate the unit price of a single public IP address in use within the validity period of the agreement based on the total price of the network segment and the total number of public IP addresses in use in the network segment.

[0066] Step S204, generate the cost accounting result of the public network based on the total price of the network segment and the unit price of the IP address within the validity period of the agreement.

[0067] In the above step S204, integrate the total price of the network segment and the unit price of the IP address calculated in the above steps to obtain the cost accounting result of the public network. The total price of the network segment determines the total cost of the public IP resources within a certain period of time, which helps the service user end to have a clear understanding of the overall expenditure of the public network, facilitating budget planning and cost control. The unit price of the IP address breaks down the total cost to each public IP address, making the cost accounting more accurate, helping to identify high-cost resource usage scenarios, and promoting the optimal allocation and conservation of resources. A series of reports can be generated based on the cost accounting result of the public network, which helps the service user end to effectively schedule and allocate resources.

[0068] Further, after obtaining the cost accounting result of the public network based on the total price of the network segment and the unit price of the IP address within the validity period of the agreement, it also includes: integrating the public IP addresses provided by the same service provider, and calculating the total price of the IP addresses provided by the same service provider; taking time as the abscissa and price as the ordinate, and drawing a curve graph based on the total price of the IP addresses of each service provider to obtain the cost comparison graph of the public networks provided by different service providers.

[0069] In some embodiments, after obtaining the cost accounting result of the public network based on the total price of the network segment and the unit price of the IP address within the validity period of the agreement, the public network cost can be displayed in the form of a chart, specifically including: aggregating the costs of all public IP addresses under the same service provider to facilitate cost comparison and management at the service provider level. First, the service usage end filters out all in-use public IP address information belonging to the same service provider. Group the public IP addresses according to the service provider field. Then, aggregate and calculate the filtered IP address unit prices to obtain the total price of the public IP addresses of the same service provider. Finally, based on the calculated total price of the IP addresses of each service provider, with time as the abscissa and price as the ordinate, draw the public network cost curve of each service provider. The curves of each service provider are identified with different colors for easy distinction. In addition, the overall curve chart supports filtering by time period, enabling the service usage end to focus on the cost analysis for specific years, quarters, or months. Through this chart, the service usage end can clearly see the changing trends and cost distributions of the public network costs of different service providers.

[0070] Furthermore, after obtaining the cost accounting result of the public network based on the total price of the network segment and the unit price of the IP address within the validity period of the agreement, it also includes: counting the total number of in-use public IP addresses corresponding to each service provider in different regions; taking the region and the service provider as the abscissa and the total number of in-use public IP addresses of a single service provider in a single region as the ordinate, draw a bar chart to obtain the usage distribution map of the public IP addresses of different service providers in different regions.

[0071] In some embodiments, to understand the usage of the public IP addresses allocated by each service provider in different regions and provide a basis for resource scheduling and cost optimization, a usage distribution map can also be drawn based on the cost accounting result of the public network. Specifically, filter out all in-use public IP addresses in different regions and classify and count them according to the service provider field. The system will return the usage quantities of the public IP addresses of each region and each service provider. Then, taking the region and the service provider as the abscissa and the total number of in-use public IP addresses of a single service provider in a single region as the ordinate, generate a bar chart. In the chart, each bar represents the usage quantity of the public IP addresses of a service provider in a region, and the height of the bar reflects the scale of the public IP usage of the service provider in that region. The chart also supports filtering by region and service provider, facilitating the service usage end to focus on the public IP usage of a specific region or service provider.

[0072] Based on the cost accounting results of the public network obtained through calculation, various statistical charts are drawn according to the statistical mechanism and image drawing rules to clearly show the cost and usage of the public network, that is, the IP address, to the service usage end. The service usage end can make more scientific and reasonable decisions on the allocation of public IP resources based on the chart information, such as increasing investment in areas with resource shortages or optimizing the selection of service providers to maximize cost-effectiveness.

[0073] Through the above steps, obtain the network segment information and bandwidth information corresponding to the purchased public network, call the payment standard device, query the payment standard device through the network segment information and bandwidth information, and calculate the total network segment price of the purchased public network within the protocol validity period based on the query result. Then obtain all the public IP addresses in use, match the network segment to which each public IP address in use belongs, calculate the unit price of the public IP address in use within the protocol validity period based on the total network segment price of the network segment to which it belongs within the protocol validity period, and finally generate the cost accounting result of the public network based on the total network segment price and the unit price of the public IP address within the protocol validity period.

[0074] In this embodiment, the system automatically obtains the network segment information and bandwidth information of the purchased public network, queries the payment standard by calling the payment standard device, calculates the total network segment price of the public network within the protocol validity period, and obtains all the public IP addresses in use. Calculate the unit price of each public IP address in use based on the total network segment price and the public IP addresses in use, thereby realizing the automatic accounting of the cost of public IP addresses, achieving the purpose of quickly and accurately calculating the cost of the public network, and solving the technical problem of improving the efficiency of the cost accounting of the public network. Furthermore, it solves the technical problem of low efficiency in the way of manually estimating the cost of the public network in the related technology.
