<p>The present invention provides a method and apparatus for processing a charging request. Upon receipt of the charging request, a merged charging System will determine the types of all charging activities related to the charging request and a charging entity corresponding to each type of the charging activities based on the information contained in the charging request. First, some rules are preset in the merged charging System; then, these rules are executed in sequence based on the information contained in the charging request, and for a rule whose condition is met, its corresponding charging entity is determined. Next, charging is performed simultaneously on all the determined charging entities, and a piece of charging information record is generated for each of the charging entities. By using the present method, the merging of B2C charging and B2B charging can be implemented with only one charging System, which covers almost all charging activities; and thereby the present invention can dramatically reduce the costs for construction and maintenance, save valuable network resources, and improve processing efficiency.</p> |
