Development Of Electronic Channel Service Extension Functions For Communication Operators

With the advent of the mobile Internet era,our daily life in all aspects increasingly springs up to the tendency of electronization.A variety of electronic equipments and objects connected via the Internet.The electronic-channel service system is an important carrier and extension of the operators' information system.It also has gradually become an important part of the business development of operators.By now in China,on the main business realm of the three major communication operators,the business value of electronic-channels has surpassed the traditional-physical-channels and direct-commerce-channels.The national laws and regulations of "mobile phone real-name registration" and "rigorously cracking down on mobile anonymous card" has been approved by MIIT(Ministry of Industry and Information Technology)and has been powerfully pushed to implement.In this context,how the activation and recharging business of the mobile phone can be remotely handled by the three operators' dedicated-social-electronic-channels system,simultaneously the requirements of activation and verification of real-name usim-card can be met,the consistency between usim-card and cardholder can be compulsorily ensured have become the current realistic social demands.Aiming at these requirements,based on the legacy electronic channel ERP management system,some aspects of the relevant specific issues were studied in extending and achieving functions of the system,which involved the activation and the verification of real-name usim-card of mobile phone,the consistency of usim-card and cardholder and the prepaid online recharging service of mobile phone.A kind of B2 B solution was explored in the thesis.And,based on the J2 EE open source framework technology,a remote activation and recharging business extension system of real-name usim-card with the distributed browser-server architecture was designed and implemented.This electronic-channel service extension system shall meet the real needs of ordinary people in daily life.Simultaneously,it tried to fight its way out on the innovation of business model in the “Internet plus traditional communication industry”.The main features of this system are as follows: The system was implemented by means of docking with the three operators' BSS(Business Support System)during extending functions of the legacy system.In order to simplify login process and to improve system security,SSO technology was introduced.And also,for the sake of enhancing the system reliability,the face recognition technology was brought into the extension system in the process of real-name authentication,which had been developed from the realm of the biometrics,the artificial intelligence and the pattern recognition.On the recharging business,this extended system built up a reasonable and efficient processing mechanism by the well-designed producer/consumer thread model and delicacy management mechanism by the up-shelves/down-shelves state machine model.In addition to achieving the activation of real-name usim-card by remote online application,the system also provids online services of recharging.It makes up for the activation and recharging services of usim-card which were commonly unsubstantial at the end of the last mile on the electronic-channels,especially,at the fringe area of the urban and rural areas and rural counties.Single Sign-On(SSO)is one of the focuses of this study.In this thesis,Kerberos and JA-SIG CAS(Central Authentication Service)authentication were discussed,which have been used as the principle of some key technologies.And,the specific solution was proposed,which included that the open source framework Shiro acted as the security component,and integrated with the CAS and the framework Spring to provide SSO service for each sub-application of the extension system in the process of implementation.Meanwhile,RBAC(Role Based Access Control)technology was adopted in the sub-systems to improve the overall security of the system.In the functions of activation of real-name usim-card and recharging business,the integration with external third-party systems by all kinds of interfaces and establishment of the suitable business processing model was also focused by this study.In the function of activation business of usim-card,integration with interfaces of the ERP management sub-system,the face recognition system and the Mini terminal device was studied.In the recharging business function,integration with interfaces of upstream recharging channel,the producer/consumer thread model and the state machine model were also analysed.By the analysis and the research,the business continuity of the activation of usim-card from downstream distributors to upstream operators and the business continuity of the recharging from downstream distributors to upstream recharging channel were achieved.The thesis studied the relevant domain issues about communication operator's field,built analysis and design model according to object-oriented method.With these models,open source frameworks were picked up to implement the software system.In addition,the depiction about verification and check was done at the test phase,which involved functional and non-functional testing about the extended system.Up to present,this electronic-channel service extension system has been experimentally online and been steadily running for 6 months and been on the way of the next phase.Daily about 3000 agencies activate nearly 30000 mobile usim-cards and recharge 2000 orders or so.The system tried out a kind of new business model and helped communication operators and virtual network operators access to large-scale users in city and rural areas through a kind of new channel.
