BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. Unstructured supplementary services data (USSD) is a new type of interactive data service based on GSM network. It sends an instruction to the network by inputting some pre-set numbers or symbols of the network. This directive provides the services required, which are fast, convenient, connection-oriented, widely applicable, and highly real-time.
USSD 在通话状态下使用独立专用控制信道 (Stand-alone Dedicated Control Channel, 简称为 SDCCH), 数据传输速率大约为 600kbps; 而在非通话状态时, USSD 使用快速辅助控制信道 (Fast Associated Control Channel, 简称为 FACCH), 数据传输 速率大约为 lkbps, 比 SMS传输速率高。 USSD在会话过程中一直保持通话连接,提供透明通道,不进行存储转发;而 SMS 在物理承载层没有会话通道, 是一个存储转发***, 用户完成一次查询需要进行多次 会话过程。 由于 USSD与 GPRS类似, 在交互中保持一个会话过程, 每次数据发送不 需要重新建立信道, 所以 USSD***对用户的呼叫请求是即时响应的, 使响应时间大 大加快, 主要的响应时延已转移为应用服务器一端, 响应时间比短消息快。 基于 USSD具备上述众多优点, 在本实施例中, 将 USSD技术应用于呼叫业务, 使进行呼叫的一方受限时由另一方单独承担通话费用, 从而仍然能够进行呼叫。 在本实施例中, 提供了一种呼叫方法, 图 1是根据本发明实施例的呼叫方法的流 程图, 如图 1所示, 该流程包括如下步骤: 步骤 S102, 网络侧接收请求呼叫的非结构化补充数据业务 USSD消息, 其中, 该The USSD uses a Stand-alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH) in the call state, and the data transmission rate is about 600 kbps. In the non-talk state, the USSD uses the Fast Associated Control Channel (FAST). For FACCH), the data transfer rate is approximately lkbps, which is higher than the SMS transfer rate. The USSD maintains a call connection during the session and provides a transparent channel without storage and forwarding. The SMS does not have a session channel on the physical bearer layer. It is a store-and-forward system. The user needs to perform multiple sessions during a single query. Because USSD is similar to GPRS, it maintains a session process in the interaction, and does not need to re-establish the channel for each data transmission. Therefore, the USSD system responds immediately to the user's call request, which greatly speeds up the response time, and the main response delay has been transferred. For the application server side, the response time is faster than the short message. Based on the USSD having the above-mentioned numerous advantages, in the present embodiment, the USSD technology is applied to the call service, so that when the party making the call is limited, the other party alone bears the call charge, so that the call can still be made. In this embodiment, a call method is provided. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a call method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the process includes the following steps: Step S102: The network side receives a request for a call. Structured supplementary data service USSD message, where

Through the above steps, the call charging mode is obtained through the interaction between the network side and the USSD center, and the call is performed according to the call charging mode, which is not possible when the call is restricted when the call is stopped, such as when the call is down. By selecting the negotiated call billing method, when the call of the call party is limited, the other party bears the total call charge to make the call, which improves the user experience and achieves the limitation of the call when the user is down, etc. The effect of using resources effectively. In the case where the call side has a down call or the balance limit is limited, and the other party wants to bear the full cost of the restricted party, the call is made. For example, when the called party has limited calls, the calling party wishes to assume all the calls. The calling party's payment includes: The calling party bears all the expenses required by the called party to complete the current call, for example, the called party can accept the calling party's service fee for paying the call. When the called party has limited call and the called party bears all the call charges, the called party pays: the called party bears all the expenses required by the calling party to complete the current call. For example, the calling party can accept the service fee of the called party paying for its call. In order to implement the payment function for the party that wants to pay, the network side authenticates the calling party or the called party before sending the USSD message to the USSD center, and if the authentication is passed, the USSD is cancelled. The information can be sent to the USSD center. There are many ways to authenticate. For example, query the account of the party that requires payment in the call billing mode to determine whether the payer has the ability to pay. In addition, the caller is on the network side. The party or the called party performs authentication, which is beneficial to directly obtaining user information, making full use of network resources, and being relatively simple to implement. The network side can send the USSD message to the USSD center in a variety of ways. For example, the USSD message carries an access code. The network side according to the correspondence between the preset access code and the identifier of the USSD center. Obtaining the identifier of the USSD center corresponding to the access code carried in the USSD message, and sending the USSD message to the USSD center corresponding to the identifier, for example, according to the access code carried in the USSD message and the address of the USSD center. Corresponding relationship, the USSD message is sent to the USSD center corresponding to the USSD center address. For example, the network side can also actively establish a USSD connection with the calling party, obtain a USSD response message sent by the calling party, and send the USSD message to the USSD center. The USSD center may negotiate with the calling party or the called party for a plurality of feedback call charging methods. For example, the USSD center receives the USSD message; the USSD center sends a call prompt message to the calling party or the called party. According to the returning response message of the calling party or the called party, determining that the calling party or the called party accepts the payment, the USSD center feeds back the charging mode of the call to the network side, and the foregoing is a manner in which the USSD center sends the prompt information. Confirm whether the payer accepts the payment. Of course, the payer can also set the default payment method to let the USSD center know that the payer accepts the payment. In the embodiment, a call device is also provided, which is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred embodiments, and has not been described again. As used hereinafter, the term "module" may implement a combination of software and/or hardware of a predetermined function.
