Preferred embodiment of the invention

The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which FIG.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a preferred method embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a preferred method embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 100: The mobile terminal is connected to the charging station;

Step 101: The charging station determines whether the mobile terminal is in an unpowered or low power off state, if yes, step 102 is performed; if no, step 104 is performed; Step 102: boot process;

Step 103: Determine whether the boot is successful, if yes, go to step 104, if no, go to step 107;

(For the mobile terminal in the power-on state, the above steps 101 to 103 may be omitted;) Step 104: The charging station performs charging negotiation with the mobile terminal, and the specific process is shown in FIG. 2;

Step 105: Whether the charging negotiation is successful, if yes, go to step 106; if no, go to step 107;

Step 106: Enter a charging charging process, and the charging station periodically sends a charging charging request message to the network, and notifies the network of the charging time, so that the network calculates the charging fee according to the charging time and the previously predetermined charging rate standard;

The specific process may include: when the mobile terminal starts charging, the charging station first initiates a charging charging request message to the network, notifying the network charging timing to start and requesting the network to start charging, and the charging charging request message includes charging time ( The charging time is 0, or the specific time for starting charging is a few minutes. The network returns a charging and charging reply message to the charging station, where the charging charging reply message includes charging information and charging status, where The fee information includes the billing amount and time (the amount and time returned this time are both 0, and the billing status is the start billing); during the charging process of the mobile terminal, the charging station sends the charging meter every once in a period of time (for example, 5 minutes) The fee request message is sent to the network, and the charging time of the cycle (5 minutes or a specific time of the current charging is notified to the network), and each time the network receives the charging charging request message sent by the charging station, according to the present The periodic charging time and the previously scheduled charging tariff standard calculate the charging cost of this period, and pre-stored from the mobile terminal Deducting the corresponding charging fee, or including the corresponding charging fee in the bill of the mobile terminal, waiting for the user to settle later, and then feeding back the charging charging reply message to the charging station, the charging charging reply message includes the charging amount and Time (for example, the amount and time are 0.1 yuan, 5 minutes, and the billing status is billing success). After the charging station knows that the billing is successful in this period, the charging station will continue to charge the mobile terminal; for the prepaid mobile terminal, If the network finds that the balance of the prepaid mobile terminal is insufficient in the current period, the charging status in the returned charging and charging reply message is the charging failure, and the charging station performs the charging failure after the current period. Step 107; Step 107: At the end of the charging transaction, the charging station waits for the next mobile terminal that needs to be charged; in this step, there may be three situations in the specific execution process to trigger the end of the charging transaction, that is, 1) for the post-paid mobile terminal and the charging process The prepaid mobile terminal with insufficient cost is not found. When the mobile terminal detects that the battery is full, it will send a charging stop message to the charging station. After receiving the charging stop message, the charging station stops charging timing and sends the charging time to the network. The last charging charging request message of the charging transaction, requesting the network to stop charging, and returning the last accounting request after the network returns the last charging request reply message of the current charging transaction (the charging status is charging stop) The reply message is sent to the mobile terminal, and the charging transaction ends; 2) during charging of the mobile terminal, when the charging station detects that the mobile terminal disconnects from the mobile terminal, the charging station stops charging timing and sends the charging to the network. The last charge accounting request message of the secondary charging transaction, requesting the network to stop counting And after the network returns the last accounting request reply message (the charging status is the charging stop) of the charging transaction, the last charging request reply message is sent to the mobile terminal, and the charging transaction ends; 3) When the charging station finds that the charging status in the charging charging reply message returned by the network is charging failure, the charging station stops charging timing and sends a charging charging reply message to the mobile terminal, and the charging transaction ends.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a message sequence diagram of a charging negotiation between a charging station and a mobile terminal according to a preferred method embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 201: After the mobile terminal is connected to the charging station, the charging station sends an identification message to the mobile terminal. The identifier message sent by the charging station includes: an identifier of the charging station, a server ID, and a charging fee description;

Step 202: After receiving the identification message sent by the charging station, the mobile terminal parses the identification message, and prompts the charging station identifier and the charging tariff description to the user of the mobile terminal. If the user determines to perform charging, the mobile terminal feeds back the identification information to the mobile terminal. a charging station; wherein the identifier information sent by the mobile terminal includes at least the identifier of the mobile terminal itself (for example, the personal identifier IMSI), and may further include a type number of the mobile terminal;

Step 203: After receiving the identification information sent by the mobile terminal, the charging station parses the identification information, and sends the parsed identifier of the mobile terminal to the network (if there is a type number, together with the type number);

Step 204: The charging station acquires transaction code information of the current charging transaction from the network; the transaction code letter The interest code includes at least the transaction code of the current charging transaction, and may also include the charging status of the current charging transaction. For example, if the mobile terminal is a prepaid user and the current prepaid fee is not zero, the charging status is calculated. The fee is normal, indicating that the mobile terminal can be charged; if the mobile terminal has been in arrears or the balance is insufficient, the charging status is charging failure, indicating that the mobile terminal cannot be charged;

Step 205: The charging station forwards the transaction code information of the current charging transaction obtained from the network to the mobile terminal.

Step 206: After receiving the transaction code information of the current charging transaction forwarded by the charging station, if the charging status of the transaction code information is normal, the mobile terminal returns an OK message to the charging station, indicating that the charging is performed. Recognition of the transaction;

After each of the above messages is successfully executed, the charging station and the mobile terminal respectively start charging timing; if any of the above messages are received or sent timeout, the process proceeds to step 107.
