    摘要: A system is described for managing wireless data access comprising. In one embodiment, the system includes a database to store user data for prepaid users and user data for postpaid users, the data for prepaid users including lease status data; a dispatcher to receive a request for data services from a wireless device, the dispatcher to query the database to determine whether the wireless device is associated with a prepaid account or a postpaid account on the wireless service provider, wherein if the wireless device is associated with a prepaid account, the dispatcher reads the lease status data to determine whether the account has a lease expiration indication and, if so, formats a lease renewal request according to a first data format over a local data network; a billing server to receive the lease renewal request from the dispatcher in the first data format and to reformat the request to a second data format, the second data format compatible with a charge control node (“CCN”) employed on the wireless service provider, the billing server to receive a response from the CCN indicating whether a lease associated with the wireless device is to be renewed and to reformat the response from the second data format to the first data format and to send the reformatted response to the dispatcher; and policy management logic executed on the dispatcher to block access to data services for the wireless device if the response indicates insufficient funds associated with the wireless device account or to allow access to data services if the response indicates a successful lease renewal.

    摘要: Methods and pre-paid platforms are provided to allow a user of a communication device that has a pre-paid account to submit an electronic request for a refresh of the account. The request is presented within a message sent to an address of an entity in control of the account. The entity in control of the account can then select within the message to accept or deny the request for the refresh. The pre-paid platform responds to the selection by either denying the request or by refreshing the account. The pre-paid platform may charge a monetary account for the amount of the refresh that is applied. The request may be for a custom or pre-defined amount. The response by the entity in control may accept a proposed amount or may specify a different amount for the refresh.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a charging method and system for a prepaid service. The charging method comprises the following steps that: a VPN charging management module presets different VPN package charging levels in the prepaid service, receives a calling request from a user terminal, and determines whether there is at least one VPN valid user in a calling terminal and a called terminal and determines whether this calling belongs to the preset different VPN package charging levels; and a VPN charging module charges the calling terminal or the called terminal which is a VPN valid user for this calling according to the VPN package charging level to which the calling terminal or the called terminal belongs, and ends this calling if the amount of the user terminal account is insufficient. The present invention realizes the flexible VPN charging in the prepaid service, not only enables a user to enjoy more flexible charging and save charges conveniently, but also it is favourable for the service promotion of operators, without changing the existing service framework structure and development interface, and saves the development costs of operators by synchronizing to multiple systems by a synchronization module.
