Charging Method, Authentication Method, Charging Device, and Authentication Device

摘要

A charging method, an authentication method, a charging device, and an authentication device. The charging method includes receiving a service unit request sent by an access device, calculating a granted service unit according to a current tariff, determining a reporting time point according to a tariff switch point and returning a service unit answer to the access device; and receiving a used service unit reported by the access device at the reporting time point, calculating a remaining service unit based on the granted service unit and the used service unit instructing the access device to perform a forcible offline operation. The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may effectively reduce an occurrence probability of a user account overdraft, thereby reducing a loss caused by the user account overdraft to an operator.

主权项

1. A charging device, comprising:
a storage device storing computer executable program codes; a processor, coupled with the storage device, wherein the program codes comprise instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive a service unit request sent by an access device;determine a granted service unit according to a current tariff;determine a reporting time point according to a tariff switch point when an overdraft monitoring condition is met according to the granted service unit and a tariff after the tariff switch point;return a service unit answer to the access device, wherein the service unit answer carries the granted service unit and the reporting time point;receive a used service unit reported by the access device at the reporting time point;calculate a remaining service unit based on the granted service unit and the used service unit; andinstruct the access device to perform a forcible offline operation when the remaining service unit will cause an overdraft.
