Embodiment 1

[0021] Such as figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic flow chart of Embodiment 1 of the billing method provided by the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0022] S101. The home gateway receives the dialing request sent by the user equipment, and sends the dialing request to the network system;

[0023] It should be noted that the user equipment is a terminal device with an Internet access function, which may be a fixed terminal device, such as a desktop computer, or a mobile terminal device, such as an ipad, iphone, and the like. When the user needs to surf the Internet, he will use the above-mentioned terminal equipment to initiate a dial-up request to the home gateway, and the home gateway will send the dial-up request to the network system after receiving the dial-up request.

[0024] S102. The network system receives the dialing request sent by the home gateway, and returns a dialing response;

[0025] Specifically, the user name informati...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Such as figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic flow chart of the second embodiment of the billing method provided by the present invention. On the basis of the first embodiment above, this embodiment further adds that the home gateway reports the consumption amount to the network system and the network system verifies the billing accuracy of the home gateway. The relevant method steps specifically include the following steps:

[0041] S201. The home gateway stores the consumption amount;

[0042] S202. After the user equipment is disconnected from the network, the home gateway generates a billing bill for the consumption amount, and reports the billing bill to the network system;

[0043] In addition, before reporting the charging bill to the network system, the billing bill can be encrypted to ensure the security of the billing bill during transmission.

[0044] S203. The network system receives the billing bill, and compares the billing bill with the background bill ...

Embodiment 3

[0050] Such as image 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of signaling in Embodiment 3 of the billing method provided by the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] S301. The user equipment initiates an Internet access dial-up request to the home gateway, and the dial-up request carries user information;

[0052] S302. The home gateway sends a dial-up request to the network system;

[0053] S303. The network system determines the status of the user, determines whether to allow the user to access the Internet according to the user status, and establishes a network access channel if the user is allowed to access the Internet;

[0054] The network system determines the user status according to the user name information carried in the dial-up request. If the user is found to be in arrears or has not opened the network, the user is not allowed to access the Internet and returns a dial-up failure response. If the user is found to be a network ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging method and system. The system comprises a home gateway for receiving a dial request sent by user equipment and sending the dial request to a network system. The method comprises the following steps: after the network system return dial response, sending the dial response to the user equipment to connect the user equipment with a network according to the dial response; after the user equipment gets on line successfully, starting real-time monitored charging according to a charging strategy, and displaying the Internet surfing consumption sum in real time. The network system is used for receiving a dial request sent by the home gateway and returning the dial response. By charging through the home gateway, charging is performed on the home gateway, namely, a user side, and a user can inquire the own Internet surfing sum of each time conveniently. On the other hand, the stress of the network system can be shared effectively and high robustness is realized when the user scale is huge, thereby realizing the advantages of localization and distribution in the charging system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a charging method and system. Background technique [0002] Intelligent home network is a high-tech product brought to people by the information age. With the help of existing computer network technology, it connects various home appliances and equipment in the family to the network, and provides people with various rich, diverse and personalized services through the network. , Convenient, comfortable, safe and efficient service. But the realization of intelligent home network system needs to design an ideal home gateway. A home gateway is a physical interface that connects all external access networks to the inside of the home, enabling users to obtain various home services. [0003] At present, the billing of the home gateway adopts a centralized management method, that is, one or more background servers are set up to perform unified billing management on the h...
