In step 42, after DM Server extracts operating result, in real time Subscriber Number, operation ID, operating result are sent to accounting server.
Last accounting server charges to this service according to operating result, operation information and information on services.
Introduce the method that DM Server extracts operating result below.
The DM agreement is supported management by synchronization pattern (bookkeeping in a session finish) and the asynchronous management pattern (in a plurality of sessions finish a DM bookkeeping) of DM Server to terminal.To these two kinds of different management modes, introduce the operating result extracting method under these two kinds of management modes below respectively.
1, the operating result extracting method under the management by synchronization pattern
In the management by synchronization pattern, the Status at each operational order (state) the message decision operation result who returns according to DM Agent.The method that DM Server extracts operating result is as follows:
At first DM Server reads in the Status information＜CmdRef〉content of element, obtain the pairing order of this Status.
DM Server reads in the Status information and is positioned at＜Data then〉the Status sign indicating number of element.
According to the definition of DM agreement, if the representation that is read is operated successfully, then think and operate successfully, operating result and operation return time are write the charge information table.If decision operation is unsuccessful, write operation information in the charge information table not then.
For example, each DM Server is handed down to the order of DM Agent, and when the status information of returning as DM Agent was following, the expression terminal had been cancelled corresponding operating, thereby not success of operation.
<Status>
<MsgRef>1</MsgRef>
<CmdRef>2</CmdRef>
<CmdID>3</CmdID>
<Cmd>Alert</Cmd>
＜Data〉214＜/Data〉＜!--operation cancellation--〉
</Status>
When the status information of returning as DM Agent was following, the Exec operation that expression issues ran succeeded.
<Status>
<MsgRef>1</MsgRef>
<CmdRef>4</CmdRef>
<CmdID>2</CmdID>
<Cmd>Exec</Cmd>
<TargetRef>./antivirus_data/version</TargetRef>
＜Data〉200＜/Data〉＜!--operating successfully--〉
</Status>
2, the operating result extracting method under the asynchronous management pattern
Under the situation of asynchronous management pattern, DM Agent is by Generic Alert (common warning) mode return state information, so DM Server extracts operating result from Generic Alert message.The method that DMServer extracts operating result is as follows:
Read in the Alert information＜Correlator the content of element, the order of obtaining this Alert information correspondence.
Read in the Alert information＜Item in the element＜Meta〉content of element, obtain the form of this Alert information content.
Read in the Alert information＜Item in the element＜Data〉content of element, according to the content format that reads in the step 2, analyze content, obtain operating result.
For example in the firmware upgrade service, DM Agent returns following Generic Alert information:
<Alert>
<CmdID>2</CmdID>
<Data>1226</Data><！--Generic?Alert-->
<Correlator>abc123</Correlator>
<Item>
<Source><LocURI>./SyncML/Sample</LocURI></Source>
<Meta>
<Type?xmlns＝″syncml:metinf″>
x-oma-application:syncml.samplealert
</Type>
<Format?xmlns＝″syncml:metinf″>xml</Format>
</Meta>
<Data>
＜!-be the particular content of Generic Alert here--
</Data>
</Item>
</Alert>
After DM Server receives this Generic Alert information, read＜Correlator〉and＜Meta content, know the order that the corresponding abc123 of this Alert information is identified, and the Alert format of content is the syncml form, read then＜Item〉in＜Data content, can analyze the operating result that obtains the order that abc123 identifies.
According to the present invention,, extract operating result by DM Server recording operation information, can distinguish the concrete operations of every service, different service items, thereby can charge as the case may be, make charging way versatile and flexible, satisfy different service providers' charging demand better.In addition, for miscellaneous COS, collecting charging information guarantees the accuracy of charging, thereby has guaranteed operator, third party software/service provider and user ' s right exactly.
Though described the present invention by embodiment, those of ordinary skills know, without departing from the spirit and substance in the present invention, just can make the present invention that many distortion and variation are arranged, and scope of the present invention is limited to the appended claims.
