Translated fromChinese技术领域technical field
本发明涉及无线通信领域，尤其涉及无线应用协议(Wireless ApplicationProtocol，WAP)业务的计费信息发送方法。The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method for sending billing information of a wireless application protocol (Wireless Application Protocol, WAP) service.
背景技术Background technique
WAP技术目前已成为移动通信网络中终端访问无线信息服务的全球主要标准，也是实现现有移动数据及增值业务的技术基础。WAP浏览类业务是最普通和常用的移动数据业务，用户通过终端的浏览器查看从服务器收到的WAP网页信息，作为移动数据业务的一种基础业务，WAP浏览类业务正被越来越多的移动用户所使用并接受。另外基于WAP的移动流媒体业务，也将成为3G通信网络中的主流应用。开放移动联盟(Open Mobile Alliance，OMA)在WAP业务具体计费实现上并没有做出限定，而现有技术中也还没有一种将WAP业务计费信息即时传送给移动终端的方法。移动终端的计费信息只能在话费月结时由计费系统如BOSS对从WAP网关采集来的话单进行统计批价，然后打印出来提供给用户，而且通常还没有费用的明细记录。由于WAP网关很多情况都是按流量进行计费，这样对于预付费和后付费用户，都存在一个同样的问题：用户在使用WAP业务中或进行一次WAP业务后，不知道产生了多少流量，也不知道本月累计使用了多少流量，使得用户无法及时掌握或控制WAP业务的使用情况；特别是对于预付费用户，当预付费用用完时，在用户无法事先获知的情况下WAP网关会强行中断业务，给用户使用WAP业务造成困扰。WAP technology has now become the main global standard for terminal access to wireless information services in mobile communication networks, and it is also the technical basis for realizing existing mobile data and value-added services. WAP browsing service is the most common and commonly used mobile data service. Users view WAP web page information received from the server through the terminal browser. As a basic service of mobile data service, WAP browsing service is being used more and more used and accepted by mobile users. In addition, the mobile streaming media service based on WAP will also become the mainstream application in the 3G communication network. The Open Mobile Alliance (Open Mobile Alliance, OMA) does not make restrictions on the specific charging implementation of the WAP service, and there is no method for instantly transmitting the WAP service charging information to the mobile terminal in the prior art. The billing information of the mobile terminal can only be calculated and priced by the billing system such as BOSS on the bills collected from the WAP gateway when the bill is settled monthly, and then printed out and provided to the user, and there is usually no detailed record of the cost. Since WAP gateways charge by traffic in many cases, the same problem exists for prepaid and postpaid users: the user does not know how much traffic has been generated when using WAP services or after performing a WAP service. I don't know how much traffic has been used in this month, so that users can't grasp or control the usage of WAP services in time; especially for prepaid users, when the prepaid fees are used up, the WAP gateway will be forcibly interrupted without the user's prior knowledge business, causing troubles for users to use WAP business.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
本发明方法是由WAP网关在移动终端使用WAP业务过程中或使用WAP业务结束后发送计费信息给移动终端。而WAP网关发送计费信息的方式可以是短消息，WAP网页等，具体实施中可以在WAP网关中实现一种或同时实现多种计费信息发送方式。In the method of the invention, the WAP gateway sends charging information to the mobile terminal during the process of using the WAP service by the mobile terminal or after the end of using the WAP service. The WAP gateway can send charging information in short messages, WAP webpages, etc. In specific implementation, one or multiple charging information sending methods can be implemented in the WAP gateway.
对于不同的移动终端，通过预先在WAP网关存储对应的计费信息发送方式，在移动终端使用WAP业务过程中或使用WAP业务完成后WAP网关采用移动终端对应的计费信息发送方式发送计费信息给该移动终端。For different mobile terminals, by storing the corresponding charging information transmission method in the WAP gateway in advance, the WAP gateway uses the corresponding charging information transmission method of the mobile terminal to send the charging information when the mobile terminal uses the WAP service or after the WAP service is completed. to the mobile terminal.
在实际应用中，可以将计费信息发送作为一个新的WAP业务功能，由用户进行登记。对于登记使用该业务功能的用户，在使用WAP业务过程中或业务结束后，WAP网关采用该移动终端对应的计费信息发送方式发送计费信息给该移动终端，如果WAP网关不允许用户设置自己的计费信息发送方式或者用户没有设置自己的计费信息发送方式则WAP网关采用系统默认的计费信息发送方式发送计费信息给移动终端；对于没有登记该业务功能的用户，则可以不发送计费信息。In practical applications, the billing information can be sent as a new WAP service function, which is registered by the user. For users who register to use this service function, during the process of using the WAP service or after the service ends, the WAP gateway uses the charging information sending method corresponding to the mobile terminal to send the charging information to the mobile terminal. If the WAP gateway does not allow the user to set their own or the user has not set his own billing information sending method, the WAP gateway will use the system default billing information sending method to send the billing information to the mobile terminal; for users who have not registered this service function, it is not necessary to send the billing information. billing information.
具体实施方法包括：在WAP网关的用户信息数据库中添加表明用户希望使用WAP计费信息即时发送标识(为描述方便，称之为第一标识)，当用户申请WAP计费信息即时发送这项业务功能时，给该移动用户的第一标识赋值为“1”；否则，赋值为“0”表示该用户不使用WAP业务计费信息即时发送业务功能。同时，需要添加计费信息发送方式标识(为描述方便，称之为第二标识)；在第二标识中可以用不同的值代表不同的发送方式，如：“0”表示以短消息方式发送，“1”表示以WAP网页方式发送，“2”表示以IP数据包方式发送等；同种方式还可以衍生出多种子类型，如按时间间隔周期性发送，超过设定的流量阈值或费用阈值时发送等。还可以将其中一种发送方式作为系统默认的发送方式，如第二标识为“0”的短消息方式发送方式。The specific implementation method includes: adding in the user information database of the WAP gateway to indicate that the user wishes to use the WAP billing information to send immediately an identifier (for convenience of description, referred to as the first identifier), when the user applies for the WAP billing information to send this service immediately function, assign a value of "1" to the first identifier of the mobile user; otherwise, assign a value of "0" to indicate that the user does not use the WAP service charging information instant sending service function. At the same time, it is necessary to add the identification of the charging information sending method (for the convenience of description, it is called the second identification); in the second identification, different values can be used to represent different sending methods, such as: "0" means sending by short message , "1" means sending by WAP web page, "2" means sending by IP packet, etc.; the same method can also derive multiple subtypes, such as sending periodically at time intervals, exceeding the set traffic threshold or cost Send when the threshold is reached, etc. It is also possible to use one of the sending methods as the default sending method of the system, such as the short message sending method whose second identifier is "0".
当移动用户请求WAP业务时，WAP网关查询存储的用户信息数据库，若检测到该移动用户已申请WAP计费信息即时发送业务功能，则将其计费信息按照设置的发送方式发送给移动终端。When a mobile user requests a WAP service, the WAP gateway queries the stored user information database, and if it detects that the mobile user has applied for the WAP charging information instant sending service function, then sends the charging information to the mobile terminal according to the set sending method.
发送的计费信息包括至少下列之一：本次或累计流量，本次或累计费用，业务使用时长，业务费率，预付费余额等。WAP网关一般只有当前流量信息，累计流量以及费率等需要从数据业务管理平台(DSMP)和业务控制点(SCP)上获取，如图1所示，WAP网关向DSMP发送请求，如果DSMP上没有相应信息，则DSMP向SCP请求信息，获取业务相关的费率、预付费余额以及终端累计费用信息等，然后发送给移动终端。一般情况下，WAP网关不直接与SCP相连，而是通过DSMP连接SCP获取计费信息。The billing information sent includes at least one of the following: current or accumulated traffic, current or accumulated fees, service usage time, service rate, prepaid balance, etc. Generally, WAP gateways only have current traffic information, and the accumulated traffic and rates need to be obtained from the data service management platform (DSMP) and service control point (SCP). As shown in Figure 1, the WAP gateway sends a request to DSMP. If there is no For corresponding information, the DSMP requests information from the SCP to obtain service-related tariffs, prepaid balances, and terminal accumulative fee information, etc., and then sends them to the mobile terminal. Generally, the WAP gateway is not directly connected to the SCP, but connects to the SCP through DSMP to obtain charging information.
若移动终端对应的计费信息发送方式为短消息发送，则WAP网关通过WAP推送方式发送计费信息给短消息中心；短消息中心以短消息方式将计费信息下发给移动终端。If the charging information sending method corresponding to the mobile terminal is short message sending, the WAP gateway sends the charging information to the short message center through the WAP push method; the short message center sends the charging information to the mobile terminal in the form of a short message.
如图2所示，为WAP浏览业务计费过程及通过短消息下发计费信息的信令流程图，包括如下流程：As shown in Figure 2, it is a signaling flow chart of the WAP browsing service charging process and sending charging information through short messages, including the following flow:
1、移动用户通过移动终端发起WAP浏览；1. The mobile user initiates WAP browsing through the mobile terminal;
2、网关GPRS支持节点(GGSN)为移动终端(MS)分配了IP地址后向远程身份验证拨入用户服务(RADIUS)服务器发送计费请求起始消息，在该消息中包含分配给MS的IP地址和手机号码；2. After the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) assigns an IP address to the mobile terminal (MS), it sends a charging request start message to the remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) server, which contains the IP assigned to the MS address and mobile phone number;
3、RADIUS服务器向WAP网关转发计费请求起始消息；3. The RADIUS server forwards the accounting request initiation message to the WAP gateway;
4、WAP网关收到计费请求起始消息后，向RADIUS服务器发送计费响应消息；4. After receiving the Accounting Request Initiation message, the WAP gateway sends an Accounting Response message to the RADIUS server;
5、RADIUS服务器收到计费响应消息后转发给GGSN，若GGSN未收到计费响应消息，应向RADIUS服务器重新发送计费请求起始消息；5. After the RADIUS server receives the accounting response message, it forwards it to the GGSN. If the GGSN does not receive the accounting response message, it should resend the accounting request initiation message to the RADIUS server;
6、移动用户结束此次WAP浏览；6. The mobile user ends the WAP browsing;
7、GGSN向RADIUS服务器发送计费请求结束消息；7. The GGSN sends an accounting request end message to the RADIUS server;
8、RADIUS服务器向WAP网关转发计费请求结束消息；8. The RADIUS server forwards the accounting request end message to the WAP gateway;
9、WAP网关收到计费请求结束消息后，向RADIUS服务器发送计费响应消息；9. After receiving the accounting request end message, the WAP gateway sends an accounting response message to the RADIUS server;
10、RADIUS服务器收到计费响应消息后转发给GGSN，若GGSN未收到计费响应消息，应重新发送计费请求结束消息；10. After receiving the accounting response message, the RADIUS server forwards it to the GGSN. If the GGSN does not receive the accounting response message, it should resend the accounting request end message;
11、WAP网关发送计费响应后，判断该移动用户的第一标识，如果第一标识为“0”，则结束；如果第一标识为“1”，且第二标识为通过短消息方式发送计费信息，则执行步骤12；11. After the WAP gateway sends the charging response, judge the first identification of the mobile user, if the first identification is "0", then end; if the first identification is "1", and the second identification is sent by short message billing information, go to step 12;
12、WAP网关通过推送代理网关(Push Proxy GateWay，PPG)向短消息中心(SMSC)推送用户本次使用流量(费用)以及累计流量(费用)等信息；12. The WAP gateway pushes information such as the user's current usage traffic (cost) and accumulated traffic (cost) to the Short Message Center (SMSC) through the Push Proxy GateWay (PPG);
13、SMSC以短消息方式将接收的计费信息发送到移动终端上。13. The SMSC sends the received billing information to the mobile terminal in the form of a short message.
图3为WAP流媒体业务计费过程及通过短消息下发计费信息的信令流程图。WAP网关收到MS发出的访问请求后，对访问请求的统一定位资源(URL)进行解析，判断为流媒体业务后将相关业务的提供商标识信息(SPID)、业务标识信息(ServiceID)以及用户的IP地址等与计费相关的信息上报给DSMP进行业务鉴权批价。流媒体业务计费同时支持预付费用户和后付费用户。对于预付费用户，DSMP通过与SCP的交互完成实时扣费。具体信令交互流程如图3所示，包括：Fig. 3 is a flow chart of the charging process of the WAP streaming media service and the signaling of sending charging information through short messages. After the WAP gateway receives the access request sent by the MS, it analyzes the unified positioning resource (URL) of the access request, and after judging that it is a streaming media service, it sends the relevant service provider identification information (SPID), service identification information (ServiceID) and user The IP address and other billing-related information are reported to the DSMP for service authentication and rating. Streaming media service charging supports both prepaid users and postpaid users. For prepaid users, DSMP completes real-time deduction through interaction with SCP. The specific signaling interaction process is shown in Figure 3, including:
1、MS向WAP网关发起流媒体业务访问请求。1. The MS initiates a stream media service access request to the WAP gateway.
2、WAP网关收到访问请求后，判断是否对用户请求进行转发，如果满足转发条件，则继续处理；否则，拒绝此次访问请求。2. After receiving the access request, the WAP gateway judges whether to forward the user request, and if the forwarding condition is satisfied, it continues processing; otherwise, it rejects the access request.
在该步骤中，是否对用户的业务请求进行前转或拒绝，是根据系统数据库中的一个“转发控制表”来执行的，该表存储有不可访问某项业务的MS的IP地址或终端号码，比如，在用户欠费或余额不足的情况下，将对其禁用某些类型的业务请求；当MS请求业务时，WAP网关将查找“转发控制表”，如果发送业务请求的MS包含在“转发控制表”中，则确定所请求此项业务是否为不可访问业务，如果是，则对此MS禁用该项业务，并将用户的欠费信息发送给MS；如果发送业务请求的MS不在转发控制表中，则说明此MS是合法的，WAP网关则将该请求透传给业务提供商(SP)，并进行内容计费或流量计费，在业务使用过程中或使用后将计费信息发给MS。为了防止用户在已经充值的情况下，仍然无法使用某项业务，转发控制表中的用户信息是实时更新的。In this step, whether to forward or reject the user's service request is performed according to a "forwarding control table" in the system database, which stores the IP address or terminal number of the MS that cannot access a certain service , For example, in the case of a user who owes money or has insufficient balance, certain types of service requests will be disabled; when an MS requests a service, the WAP gateway will look up the "forwarding control table", if the MS sending the service request is included in the " Forwarding Control Table", determine whether the requested service is an inaccessible service, if yes, disable the service for this MS, and send the user's arrears information to the MS; if the MS sending the service request is not forwarding In the control table, it indicates that the MS is legal, and the WAP gateway transparently transmits the request to the service provider (SP), and performs content charging or traffic charging, and the charging information is sent during or after the service is used. Send to MS. In order to prevent the user from being unable to use a certain service even after recharging, the user information in the forwarding control table is updated in real time.
3、WAP网关将业务请求转发给相应的业务提供商或内容提供商(SP/CP)。3. The WAP gateway forwards the service request to the corresponding service provider or content provider (SP/CP).
4、SP/CP返回访问请求应答消息给WAP网关。4. The SP/CP returns an access request response message to the WAP gateway.
5、WAP网关把请求应答消息下发给终端MS。5. The WAP gateway sends the request response message to the terminal MS.
6、WAP网关记录或查询用户在线信息，并判断用户类型(根据MSISDN号段或IMSI号段区分用户类型，如预付费用户、后付费用户)，如果是后付费用户，业务使用结束后直接跳转到第11步；如果是预付费用户，根据请求的URL采集SPID、ServiceID以及用户IP地址等计费相关信息。6. The WAP gateway records or queries the user's online information, and judges the user type (according to the MSISDN number segment or IMSI number segment to distinguish the user type, such as prepaid user and postpaid user). If it is a postpaid user, it will directly jump to Go to step 11; if it is a prepaid user, collect billing-related information such as SPID, ServiceID, and user IP address according to the requested URL.
7、WAP网关将采集到的计费相关信息上报DSMP，进行鉴权批价。7. The WAP gateway reports the collected billing-related information to the DSMP for authentication and pricing.
8、DSMP到SCP申请费用预扣。8. DSMP to SCP application fee withholding.
9、SCP向DSMP返回费用预扣应答消息。9. The SCP returns a fee withholding response message to the DSMP.
10、DSMP向WAP网关返回鉴权批价应答消息。10. The DSMP returns an authentication approval response message to the WAP gateway.
11、MS向WAP网关发出断连请求。11. The MS sends a disconnection request to the WAP gateway.
12、WAP网关把断连请求转发给SP/CP。12. The WAP gateway forwards the disconnection request to the SP/CP.
13、SP/CP向WAP网关返回断连请求应答消息。13. The SP/CP returns a disconnection request response message to the WAP gateway.
14、WAP网关把断连请求应答消息下发给终端MS。14. The WAP gateway sends the disconnection request response message to the terminal MS.
15、WAP网关生成话单记录(Call Detail Record，CDR)，包括业务开始时间，结束时间，终端号码，业务类型等。15. WAP gateway generates Call Detail Record (CDR), including service start time, end time, terminal number, service type, etc.
16、WAP网关将CDR话单中的计费信息通过WAP PUSH短消息发给MS。16. The WAP gateway sends the billing information in the CDR bill to the MS through the WAP PUSH short message.
以上用WAP浏览业务和流媒体业务的计费过程为例，对本发明采用短消息方式发送WAP业务计费信息进行了详细描述。其中，短消息发送方式可以是在移动终端使用WAP业务过程中，由WAP网关按设定的时间间隔发送；或在移动终端使用WAP业务过程中，当预付费移动终端的余额小于设定的余额阈值、移动终端使用WAP业务流量超过设定的流量阈值或移动终端使用WAP业务费用超过设定的费用阈值时，在WAP浏览业务的第5步与第6步之间或在WAP流媒体业务的第10步与第11步之间，由WAP网关发送计费信息给短消息中心。另外对于流媒体业务与浏览业务同时使用的情形，如WAP浏览时打开了一个流媒体，这样WAP网关同时将两个业务的计费信息分别或合并在一起发送给MS。Taking the charging process of WAP browsing service and streaming media service as an example, the present invention has described in detail the sending of WAP service charging information in the form of short messages. Among them, the short message sending method can be sent by the WAP gateway at a set time interval during the mobile terminal using the WAP service; or during the mobile terminal using the WAP service, when the balance of the prepaid mobile terminal is less than the set balance Threshold, when the mobile terminal uses WAP service flow exceeds the set flow threshold or the mobile terminal uses WAP service fee exceeds the set fee threshold, between steps 5 and 6 of the WAP browsing service or in the WAP streaming media service. Between step 10 and step 11, the WAP gateway sends charging information to the short message center. In addition, for the situation that the streaming media service and the browsing service are used at the same time, if a streaming media is opened during WAP browsing, the WAP gateway will simultaneously send the charging information of the two services to the MS separately or in combination.
对于计费信息的发送，除了采用短消息方式发送外，还可以采用WAP网页方式发送，包括下列具体方法：For the sending of billing information, in addition to sending by short message, it can also be sent by WAP web page, including the following specific methods:
方法一：在移动终端使用WAP业务过程中，WAP网关为该移动终端产生一个包含计费信息的临时WAP网页，并将该临时WAP网页的超链接地址插入到移动终端当前浏览的网页中，移动终端通过访问所述超链接地址获取计费信息；并在WAP业务结束后，删除产生的临时WAP网页。Method 1: When the mobile terminal uses the WAP service, the WAP gateway generates a temporary WAP webpage containing billing information for the mobile terminal, and inserts the hyperlink address of the temporary WAP webpage into the webpage currently browsed by the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal The terminal obtains the charging information by accessing the hyperlink address; and deletes the generated temporary WAP webpage after the WAP service ends.
方法二：在移动终端使用WAP业务过程中，WAP网关将指向一个即时计费单元的超链接插入到移动终端当前请求浏览的网页中，移动终端访问所述超链接时，即时计费单元从WAP网关中获取该移动终端的计费信息，并生成包含计费信息的WAP网页由WAP网关返回给移动终端。Method two: when the mobile terminal uses the WAP service process, the WAP gateway inserts a hyperlink pointing to an instant billing unit into the webpage that the mobile terminal currently requests to browse. The gateway acquires the charging information of the mobile terminal, and generates a WAP web page containing the charging information, which is returned to the mobile terminal by the WAP gateway.
方法三：将移动终端使用WAP业务的计费信息存储到一个固定超链接地址的WAP网页中，当移动终端访问该固定超链接地址时，WAP网关获取相应的计费信息并更新到上述WAP网页然后返回给移动终端。为用户使用方便，可以将上述固定超链接地址预先存储到移动终端中，用户可以随时通过访问该超链接地址获取计费信息。Method 3: Store the billing information of the mobile terminal using the WAP service in a WAP web page with a fixed hyperlink address. When the mobile terminal accesses the fixed hyperlink address, the WAP gateway obtains the corresponding billing information and updates it to the above WAP web page Then return to the mobile terminal. For the convenience of the user, the above-mentioned fixed hyperlink address can be pre-stored in the mobile terminal, and the user can access the hyperlink address to obtain billing information at any time.
计费信息发送方式还可以为IP数据包发送，可以设置为当WAP网关接收到移动终端的计费信息请求时，将包含计费信息的数据包按照IP协议格式发送给移动终端对应的IP地址，或WAP网关按照设定的时间间隔将包含计费信息的数据包按照IP协议格式发送给移动终端对应的IP地址，由移动终端显示出计费信息。同时改进WAP浏览器，使之在终端浏览器界面的固定位置显示WAP网关发送的计费信息(流量或费用信息)。The billing information transmission method can also be IP data packet transmission, which can be set to send the data packet containing the billing information to the corresponding IP address of the mobile terminal according to the IP protocol format when the WAP gateway receives the billing information request from the mobile terminal , or the WAP gateway sends the data packet containing the charging information to the corresponding IP address of the mobile terminal according to the IP protocol format according to the set time interval, and the mobile terminal displays the charging information. At the same time, the WAP browser is improved to display the billing information (traffic or cost information) sent by the WAP gateway at a fixed position on the terminal browser interface.
