METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTENT-BASED BILLING IN IP-NETWORKS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and system for content-based billing in IP-networks, wherein said method consists in carrying out and transmitting to a control gateway module (22) the authentication and/or service authorisation of an IP-node (20) based on the IMSI of the SIM card (201) of the node (20) for HLR (37) and/or VLR (37) of a GSM network and in guiding the access of the IP node (20) to the content of a network content provider thorough said control gateway module (22), in controlling involved costs by means of said module (22) on the base of the access target address, in detecting call detail records according to the IP-node (20) services by a core engine module (59), in detecting at least the identity of the IP-node (20) and/or the time and/or a provider of the required services by means of said call detail records during access to the control gateway module (22), in transmitting said data to the billing module and in computing said call detail records and/or clearing data based thereon and/or TAP files through the billing system (55) of a service provider or a financial institution. Said invention relates, in particular to the mobile IP nodes (20) in heterogeneous networks.
