Abstract

PURPOSE:To expand the utilization of software and to protect the copyright by providing a charging/collecting means for counting up the frequency of the utilized software at every computer system of a user, and charging it based on charging information, and a claiming system counting up this information in a user unit for claiming. CONSTITUTION:Software which can be utilized under the environment of a computer system 1 is fully provided as a standard and released. A charging system 2 counts up the frequency of the software utilized by the computer system, transfers the information to a collecting system 3, and counts up and outputs charging information. A claiming system 4 counts up the information outputted from the collecting system 3 to a user unit, and executes a claim. In such a way, the generation of appropriation which disregards the copyright can be prevented.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、ソフトウェア費用算定方式に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a software cost calculation method.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、ソフトウェア費用は、それぞれのソフトウェアご
とに価格が設定されており、それらの利用の有無にかか
わらず購入時に費用が発生した。Traditionally, software costs have been set for each piece of software, and costs have been incurred at the time of purchase regardless of whether or not the software is used.

また、ＶＡＮ　（付加価値通信網）等ＴＳＳ　（タイム
シュアリングシステム）サービスによるソフトウェアの
リモート処理サービスがある。Additionally, there are remote software processing services using TSS (time assured system) services such as VAN (value-added communication network).

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

上述した従来のソフトウェア費用は、購入時に決定され
、その時点でのソフトウェアリリースとなる為、以下の
ような欠点がある。The above-mentioned conventional software costs are determined at the time of purchase and the software is released at that time, which has the following disadvantages.

１、　ソフトウェアリリースとなる為著作権を無視した
流用が発生ずる。1. Since it is a software release, diversion that ignores copyright will occur.

２、　ソフトウェアの利用可否の為に購入前の充分なテ
ストが出来ない。2. Due to software availability, it is not possible to thoroughly test the product before purchasing.

３、機能アップを行うには再購入が必要である。3. Repurchase is required to upgrade functionality.

４、利用の有無にかかわらず固定費用が発生する。4. Fixed costs will be incurred regardless of whether the service is used or not.

５、購入されているソフトウェアの把握は出来るが、利
用率は把握出来ない。5. Although it is possible to understand the software that has been purchased, it is not possible to understand the usage rate.

６、　ユーザ゛ごとにリリースする為、毎回セットアツ
プが必要である。6. Since it is released for each user, setup is required each time.

〔課題を解決するための手段〕[Means to solve the problem]

本発明のソフトウェア費用算定方式は、ユーザのコンピ

特徴とする。The software cost calculation method of the present invention includes, for each user's computer system, a billing/collection means that totals the frequency of software used in the computer system and charges based on billing information; and from the billing/collection system. The present invention is characterized by having a billing system that aggregates output information for each user and makes a bill.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

次に、本発明について図面を参照して説明する。 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

第１図は、本発明の一実施例の構成図である。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
