FIG. 4 is a schematic interaction diagram of an embodiment 400 of the present invention, including the following contents.

401, the UE opens the web client, and sends a request for accessing the web page to the AP. Thereby, a wireless connection is established between the UE and the AP.

405. Based on the request of the UE, the AP establishes a connection with the AC, and the AC learns the AP ID of the AP.

According to the agreement between the AP and the AC, the AP can report the AP ID to the AC, or the AC can directly learn the AP ID after the AC establishes a connection with the AP. The AP ID of each AP is unique, and the AP ID can indirectly indicate the physical location of the AP. Optionally, the AP ID may also be represented by any other identifier that can uniquely indicate the AP, such as a MAC address.

410, the AC forces the UE to open the page, and pushes the service webpage according to the AP ID.

A business webpage is a webpage that provides some consumer business. For example, in a large shopping mall, the business webpage may provide information such as product promotion and product promotion, and these products may be products around the physical location of a specific AP in the shopping mall. When designing a service web page, the service Portal server can be designed based on the AP ID of a specific AP. In this way, the AC can also push a customized service web page based on the AP ID accessed by the UE. For example, food is sold next to a specific AP on the first floor of a shopping mall, and order information for promotional food is designed in a business webpage customized based on the AP, which is also referred to as a consumer business in the context of the order information. After the UE establishes a wireless connection with the AP, the UE will receive or be forced to open a service webpage customized based on the AP. It is convenient for users to select shopping among many products near the location after browsing the business webpage, which satisfies the consumer psychology of users.

415, when the UE accesses the pushed service page and selects a specific consumption service, the UE sends an order request for the consumption service to the service Portal server, and sends authentication information, such as the user name and password of the UE logging in to the web service.

Here, the UE sends an order request for the consumption service to the service Portal server, and binds the authentication information sent together with the consumption service, so as to use the authentication information to deduct the fee. In the embodiment of the present invention, compared with users queuing up for payment, using authentication information to deduct fees is simpler and saves time, and at the same time, it is safer to use authentication information to deduct fees than inputting various financial passwords through online banking.

420, the service Portal server sends the authentication information, the deduction service ID and the APID to the AC based on the subscription request for the consumption service.

In the agreement, each consumer service will be represented by a deduction service ID (the English abbreviation of identifier). The service Portal server and the access controller extend the deduction service ID and AP ID in the existing Portal protocol, so that the AAA server can deduct the charges by using the authentication request later.

425. The AC sends an authentication request including the authentication information, the deduction service ID and the AP ID to the AAA server.

In the existing Radius protocol between the AC and the AAA server, the deduction service ID and AP ID are extended. The AAA server uses the authentication request of the Radius protocol to deduct the fee. Optionally, the Diameter protocol is used as an alternative protocol to the Radius protocol, and the AAA server can also complete the accounting process in the Diameter protocol.

430. The AAA server uses the accounting function to complete the accounting and preferential processing based on the AP ID.

The AAA server records the fee in the account corresponding to the username in the authentication information.

Optionally, the AAA server may utilize its own charging function, or may cooperate with the BOSS for charging when the application network includes a business operation support system (BOSS, Business Operation Supporting System). In addition, the preferential treatment here is also optional, and the preferential treatment may be, for example, the preferential treatment given by the shopping mall to the online shopping service completed based on the AP ID.

435, the AAA server returns an authentication response to the AC, and adds the deduction success information.

The AAA server sends an authentication response to the AC, where the authentication response indicates whether the deduction of the consumption service is successful.

440. The AC sends an authentication response to the service Portal server.

The AC sends the deduction result and successful deduction information to the service Portal server.

445. The service Portal server sends an order response of the order request to the UE based on the authentication response, where the order response indicates whether the ordering of the consuming service based on the authentication information is successful.

The service Portal server informs the UE whether the purchase is successful.

Optionally, the UE may also be notified of the amount of the successful deduction of the consumption service. Under special circumstances, for example, the consumer service provided by the shopping mall is free, and the AAA server will also perform accounting processing, and return the authentication result and successful deduction information, but the amount in the deduction record can be zero.

The embodiment of the present invention can provide the user with a service webpage accessed by the UE based on the physical location of the AP, thereby improving the user experience, and at the same time, after the UE orders the consumption service on the service webpage, the authentication information can be directly bound to deduct the fee , so as to realize the unmanned operation of payment, and also improve the operator's income.

The wireless application method of the embodiment of the present invention can also be widely applied to other scenarios with dense wireless access layout, such as stadiums, performance venues, and restaurants. Correspondingly, the consumer service provided by the service webpage may be shopping, ticket purchase or meal ordering.

Next, FIG. 5 is a schematic interaction diagram of another embodiment 500 of the present invention, including the following contents.

501, the UE scans the barcode to directly learn the consumption service.

With the intelligence of UE, some UEs have barcode scanning function. In the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present invention, consumer services may be provided in the form of barcodes. For example, put up posters with barcodes near the AP. The barcode can be one-dimensional or multi-dimensional.

505, the UE directly jumps to a service web page, where the service web page includes the consumption service indicated by the scanned barcode, and the scenario is that the UE and the AP have established a wireless connection before. Otherwise, the UE will be prompted to establish a wireless connection, and then the UE will jump to the service webpage.

The business webpage is associated with the AP ID, which means that the business webpage is designed based on the AP ID, and the business webpage includes consumer services. For example, on a wide stadium, the service webpage opened by the UE includes the reservation information near the AP that is connected to. After viewing the site, the user can book a seat by browsing the service webpage, saving the inconvenience of queuing.

The next steps are the same as or similar to 420 to 445 in embodiment 400.

510, after the UE selects the consumption service, the UE sends a subscription request for the consumption service to the service Portal server, and sends authentication information, for example, the user name and password of the UE logging in the web service.

515 , the service Portal server sends the authentication information, the deduction service ID and the APID to the AC based on the subscription request for the consumption service.

In the agreement, each consumer service will be represented by a deduction service ID. The service Portal server extends the service ID and AP ID for deduction in the existing Portal protocol, so that the AAA server uses the authentication request to deduct charges later. Optionally, the Portal protocol may also be defined in an extensible markup language (XML, eXtensible Markup Language) format.

520. The AC sends an authentication request including the authentication information, the deduction service ID and the AP ID to the AAA server.

In the existing Radius protocol, the AAA server expands the deduction service ID and AP ID in the authentication message, and uses the authentication request message of the Radius protocol to deduct the charges. Optionally, as an alternative protocol to the Radius protocol, the AAA server can also complete the accounting process in the Diameter protocol.

525. The AAA server uses the accounting function to complete the accounting and preferential processing based on the AP ID.

The AAA server records the fee in the account corresponding to the username in the authentication information.

Optionally, the AAA server may utilize its own charging function, or may cooperate with the BOSS for charging when the application network includes a business operation support system (BOSS, Business Operation Supporting System). In addition, the preferential treatment here is also optional, and the preferential treatment may be, for example, the preferential treatment given by the shopping mall to the online shopping service completed based on the AP ID.

530, the AAA server returns an authentication response to the AC, and adds the successful charge deduction information.

The AAA server sends an authentication response to the AC, where the authentication response indicates whether the deduction of the consumption service is successful.

535. The AC sends an authentication response to the service Portal server.

The AC sends the deduction result and successful deduction information to the service Portal server.

540. The service Portal server sends an order response of the order request to the UE based on the authentication response, where the order response indicates whether the ordering of the consuming service based on the authentication information is successful.

The service Portal server informs the UE whether the purchase is successful.

The embodiment of the present invention can provide the user with a service webpage accessed by the UE based on the physical location of the AP, thereby improving the user experience, and at the same time, after the UE orders the consumption service on the service webpage, the authentication information can be directly bound to deduct the fee , so as to realize the unmanned operation of payment, and also improve the operator's income.

The wireless applications in Embodiment 400 and Embodiment 500 do not need to add new network elements, and can use the existing charging system to implement the charging processing of consumer services based on AP customization by extending the protocol, thereby saving labor or equipment costs.

The embodiments of the present invention are suitable for an environment where APs are densely distributed. In various wireless communication systems, for example, wireless APs through WLAN, picocell base stations, or home base stations, etc., can use AP positioning to shorten the access distance between UE and AP as much as possible. The AP ID precisely locates the range of UE activities, and realizes the provision of personalized services for the UE based on the AP ID.
