Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a system for charging an information usage fee, and more particularly, to a charging method, an apparatus and a method for a person who manages information to collect a usage fee from an information provider. It is about the system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A typical example of a form of provision and use of information is, for example, job offer information provided by a recruiting company and the use of the information by job seekers. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, recruiting companies that recruit human resources have posted recruiting information in a recruiting column of a recruiting magazine or a newspaper, and waited for a job seeker who has seen the recruitment to contact an application or an inquiry. In this method, a fixed fee is paid depending on the size of the advertising space to be posted regardless of the actual results of application or inquiry, and this is not always convenient for recruiters.

In recent years, brokers have realized a large number of hits and then pay for corporate advertisements on Web pages on the Internet. Recruiting companies place their own advertisements on these brokers' web pages, link them to their own companies, and access their own HP (homepage) from there, so that they can access their PR and job information. Ask them to browse. Alternatively, the job posting information is directly posted on a web page, and an inquiry or application from a job seeker is accepted via an intermediary company that operates the web site. Instead of taking such an opportunity, a company that has requested an advertisement to be posted on a Web page pays a certain amount of advertisement to a Web site administrator at the time of contract.

[0004]

However, the above background art has the following disadvantages. (1) Regarding the usage fee of the advertisement system on the Internet Web, the fee determined at the time of contract is usually paid regardless of whether or not there is actual usage such as the actual number of applications and inquiries, and charged according to the usage history. Not be
It's not always satisfactory as a posting client. In addition, even on the advertisement publishing side, even when there are inquiries by a considerable number of job seekers, only a fixed fee can be obtained, and there is a disadvantage that actual results are not taken into account. (2) Because of the one-way system of the job seeker's approach to the placement of the recruiting company, the job seeker wants to know details about working conditions, etc. Conversely, the job seeker wants to know details about applicant's request etc. For example, they cannot contact each other and engage in recruitment and job seeking activities that can satisfy both parties. (3) When a company that has a plurality of stores and operates a chain recruits part-time workers, etc., contracts are made on a store-by-store basis, so the overall recruitment costs (advertising costs) are high. .

The present invention focuses on the above points,
An object of the present invention is to provide a billing method, a device, and a system, which are billed according to the use result of information and can show the validity of billing to an information provider and its manager. Another object of the present invention is to provide a billing method, a device, and a system for allowing an information provider and an information destination to mutually approach each other.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for making a call between an information use destination and the information supply source when charging according to the use result of the information. It is characterized in that the degree of use of information is counted, and an information use fee is charged to a provider of the corresponding information in accordance with the degree of use of information thus counted.

According to another aspect of the present invention, when billing is performed in accordance with the record of use of information, information including a transfer source telephone number having a transfer destination telephone number as a transfer destination is disclosed, and the information use destination is used. When a call is made to the transfer source telephone number, the call is transferred to the transfer destination telephone number, thereby making a call using the transfer source telephone number. Counting is performed for each information provider, and the information usage fee is charged to the corresponding information provider in accordance with the counted information usage degree.

One of the main modes is to publish a transfer source e-mail address having the transfer source e-mail address as the transfer destination e-mail address together with the transfer source telephone number, and to transmit the information to the transfer source e-mail address. When an e-mail is transmitted from a destination of the e-mail, the e-mail is transferred to the e-mail address of the transfer destination, and the degree of use of the information by the e-mail is counted for each information providing source. The information usage fee is charged to the provider of the information in accordance with the degree of use of the information. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
