Description

Charge accounting for multiparty communication implementation method based on mobile intelligent net

Technical field

The present invention relates to provide to the prepaid user field of MultiParty Service based on mobile intelligent net, specifically, relate to a kind of in mobile intelligent net when pre-payment calling and called side user provides MultiParty Service, can calculate cost of the phone call in time, exactly, and its account balance of notifying prepayment user technology that whether can continue to converse.

Background technology

Along with the development of mobile intelligent net and the demand of intelligent network user, to the diversification, complicated of IN service demand trend.At present, operator just proposes to make existing prepayment service can support MPTY and Call Waiting conversation.

Prepaid user's MPTY is meant that the prepaid user does caller, call out one called enter talking state after, it is called that this prepaid user dials another one again, keeping entering the talking state called with another under the prerequisite of calling out previously.

It is called that prepaid user's Call Waiting is meant that the prepaid user does, and after calling entered talking state, this prepaid user was put through by the another one caller again, keeping entering the talking state with second caller under the prerequisite of calling out previously.

MPTY in the prepayment service is identical with calling is set up in the Call Waiting conversation in realization process right and wrong prepaid user, but exists difference on chargeing.Charging in the non-prepayment service is to charge according to conversation rate behind end of conversation, and its expense is to pay in the back, does not have expense overdraw problem, and only needing charge according to basic charging method for MPTY and Call Waiting gets final product; And in prepayment service, owing to do not allow user's cost of the phone call to surpass institute's advanced charges, so need control user's the duration of call according to the remaining sum of prepaying in the user account, and in implementation procedure in order to improve the treatment effeciency of system, the duration of call is to calculate according to conversation rate before the conversation beginning, and adopts timer that the duration of call is controlled, so for MPTY and Call Waiting, when second call setup, need to adopt special charging implementation.If processing scheme is not good, charge system will take a large amount of system resource, and indexs such as efficient of chargeing and reliability all can descend.So need not influence under the prerequisite of efficient as far as possible, in time the duration of call timer to the user upgrades.

The main distinction of prepaid user's MPTY and Call Waiting is in addition, the prepaid user sets up with the pattern of caller in setting up new process of calling out, the prepaid user sets up with called pattern to call out in the Call Waiting conversation, so the charging process of the two is identical, just rate is different, below just the charging of these two kinds of conversations is realized being referred to as the charging implementation method of MPTY.

Summary of the invention

The technical problem that the present invention solves be a kind of in mobile intelligent net when the prepaid user provides MultiParty Service, make charge system can carry out the implementation method of flexible charging in time, effectively to the prepaid user.But allow the prepaid user understand the air time, avoid overdraw to use the pre-payment expense in time.

The prepayment service charge accounting for multiparty communication implementation method that the present invention proposes based on mobile intelligent net, the step of realization is as follows:

One, be that caller or called new calling add fashionable charging processing with prepaid user

Step 1, if contain the MPTY mark, prepayment service is according to the account number of using in the new call flow in the new call flow response message of receiving, the prepaid user's of described account number all-calls and charge information used in the location in service control point;

Step 2 according to the calling and the charge information of the described step 1 that obtains, but recomputates all prepaid users' the duration of call by accounting routine, the corresponding duration of call timer of calling out of change;

Step 3, the new calling enters talking state, calls out to keep;

Step 4 is that caller or called new calling add if having with prepaid user again, and then repeating step 1,2,3;

Two, be that the charging that caller or called conversation are withdrawed from when calling out is handled with prepaid user

Step 5, the prepaid user who is in MPTY finishes conversation, and prepayment service is according to the account number that finishes to use before the conversation, and still call out and charge information all prepaid users that use described account number the location in this service control point;

Step 6, according to the calling that obtains, but accounting routine recomputates the duration of call that there is the prepaid user in all, and the corresponding duration of call timer of change;

Step 7, other conversation relevant with the prepaid user in the conversation continues to keep;

Step 8 is that caller or called conversation are withdrawed from if also have with prepaid user, and then repeating step 5,6,7.

Described calling adds conversation and withdraws from the conversation, when the prepaid user carry out be MPTY the time, the prepaid user adds with the caller pattern and withdraws from conversation in the calling.

Described calling adds conversation and withdraws from the conversation, when the prepaid user carry out be the Call Waiting conversation time, the prepaid user adds with called pattern and withdraws from conversation in the calling.

The described charge information that obtains the prepaid user according to account number comprises: the zero-time of calling, calling/called number, position, billing scheme.

For the conversation of tax-free call, the duration of call of this calling is not limited by timer.

For the mobile intelligent net system can be provided the MPTY of prepayment service and the support of Call Waiting conversation, in prepaid user's MPTY process, need but user's the duration of call is changed in time, when the calling that promptly needs (to comprise second) after second enters talking state, but recomputate the duration of call that each is called out, accurately control prepaid user's air time.As a same reason, when being in many ways obedient a certain end of calling conversation, there is the duration of call of calling out, avoids producing the overdraw situation of expense of prepaid user but also should recomputate each.

Adopt charge accounting for multiparty communication implementation method of the present invention, operation manufacturer can provide MultiParty Service to the prepaid user, thereby has improved the service quality of operation manufacturer.Simultaneously since adopted new call out to add and exist to call out withdraw from two time points and charge, thereby control user's the duration of call exactly, improved the operational efficiency of program effectively, reduce cost the final investment repayment that improves operation manufacturer.
