System and method of implementing real-time contents and flow charging and control

Abstract

This invention relates to a system and a method for realizing real time content and flow charge and control, which adds a route platform among network access devices and protocol resolving parts to sort messages and judge if it's necessary to analyze their contents, if so, it transfers them to related protocol resolving parts based on the kind , otherwise, it carries out ordinary flow accumulation, and said protocol resolving part carries out deep going resolution to messages from the route platform and judges if it's necessary to charge then to resolve the service information needed by the content charge and reports it to the charge part, otherwise, it carries out ordinary flow charge, and the charge part carries out content / or flow charge and sends the feed back information to the route platform or the protocol resolving part to control if it transmits, discards or re-directions the message.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data services, and more specifically relates to a system and method for realizing real-time content and flow billing and control. Background technique [0002] At present, with the construction of a new generation of wireless networks by operators, the number of users of mobile data services is increasing rapidly. Based on high-speed wireless access, it can ensure the provision of rich data services, including multimedia messages, download services, mail services, and streaming media services. However, at present, only a corresponding gateway device (WAP GW) is defined for the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol, wireless application protocol) service in the mobile network, and the gateway device only supports services based on WAP1.X and WAP2.0, including browsing, PUSH And some other services based on WAP, such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service, multimedia message service) services, KJAVA download and other service...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] It can be seen that the disadvantages of the first technical solution are: (1) it is impossible to carry out content accounting for non-WAP services; (2) it is difficult to implement prepaid traffic accounting for non-WAP services on network access devices The forwarding performance of the ingress device has a relatively large impact; (3) Traffic replenishment needs to be realized, the solution is complicated, the operability is not good, and the traffic replenishment is not very accurate

However, this solution also does not solve the problem of traffic replenishment, and at the same time brings a new problem: in order to control and charge users' non-WAP services, when users use different services, they must set corresponding The IP address and port of the service gateway. If the user does not set the gateway address, the operator will not be able to control and bill the services used by the user. At the same time, if the user sets so many gateway addresses, the user experience is not very good, and Some terminal software does not provide relevant options for setting the gateway address

[0011] The disadvantages of the second technical solution are: (1) the terminal software must support the relevant configuration parameters of the service gateway, but most of the current terminal software does not support it; (2) even if the terminal software supports the relevant Different gateways are set up for different businesses, and the user experience is not very good; (3) Traffic replenishment needs to be implemented, the solution is complicated, the operability is not good, and the replenished traffic is not very accurate
