Abstract

Value added service integrated settlement methods: (1) Firstly setup the transaction model of the integration settlement, that is put the settlement participants as the attribute main body of interface layer: provide data interaction between the inside and the outside of the system; service logical layer: complete the data collection, pretreatment, rule generation application, settlement process operation and settlement result management during the settlement process; data layer: data store based on database technology. (2) The settlement functions of the whole value added services are divided into different settlement processes, according to different models of service operation, different service process various types (short message, downloading, and movies), and different billing elements and settlement references. The same participants will take part in several services. The settlement elements will be put into different settlement processes. The settlement results of different settlement processes will be collected together according to settlement participants to generate the final settlement results. (3) Except the basic service of core settlement operation is adoption loosing coupling settlement operation, all the services relevant calculation processes of settlement are put into independent settlement process.

Claims

1. An integrated settlement methods of value added service comprising:

(1) first configure a process model of service integrated settlement, that is to define settlement participants as an attributes main body of an interface layer, provide data interaction between inside and outside of a system, service logical level will complete the data collection, pretreatment, application of rule generation, operation of settlement process, settlement result management, a data layer will store the data based on database technology;

(2) settlement functions of the whole value added services are divided into different settlement processes, according to different models of service operation, different service process various types (short message, downloading, and movies), and different billing elements and settlement references, same participant takes part in several services, settlement elements will be put into different settlement processes, settlement results of different settlement processes will be collected together according to settlement participants to generate final settlement results.

(3) except a basic service of core settlement operation is adoption loosing coupling settlement operation, all services relevant calculation processes of settlement are put into independent settlement process, different settlement parties in different service settlement processes are reduced as participants;

they are using universal entity model, and allow dynamic increase of attribute. Basic attributes of SP, provincial branches, external system, are all concluded as participants, the participants are linked with settlement types and settlement rules.

2. The integration methods of value added service of claim 1, wherein groupwares of different settlement methods can be linked or disconnected and a pretreatment of settlement is an expansible interface.

3. The integration methods of value added service of claim 1, wherein adopting SOA design methods, the core settlement process thereof includes:

raw data collection, pretreatment, rule adaption, settlement application, data verification, and result generation.

4. The integration methods of value added service of claim 1, wherein dynamic display methods of settlement reports with following stages:

dynamic report forms integrate other data and solve large amount storage by data warehouse methods, adopt OLAP analyse methods to construct data analyse model, use professional ETL tools to develop whole data collection, cleanup, transfer, and integration system, and load data into settlement CUBE based on settlement life cycle, in the front end, adopt drag and play use interface.

5. The service integration methods of value added service of claim 4, wherein the balance between report amount and report speed having following stages:

static report forms are mainly designed for some report forms with fixed format and fixed visit objects, such as settlement notification to each of participants, settlement result for each of settlement participants, and settlement details for each of participant operators, this type of report forms pre-designs a report format bound with data structure, and then generate the data according to the parameters sent back by manages at front ends, it will be sent to customers after combination to minimize generation time of the report forms, for some statistic report forms which need large amount data enquiry, adopting following transaction rules;

if it exists in the MOLAP of analyse report, it can be enquired from MOLAP through specific data driver;

if it does not exist in the MOLAP of analyse report, it will be generated from the data of middle report during the pretreatment of the data structure.
