In other words, since most payment methods by card are used to pay for purchases of expensive goods, they are virtually unavailable for payment of small amounts (10 or 100 won units), and the age of users using the Internet is generally low. When you hold a card, you can't use it practically, and the payment method by unpaid bank account is very complicated, because there is little value in making small payments and the user has to use a bank. However, while the payment method by E-coin is useful when paying for information use, the card number of E-coin must be entered at all times when the card is used with the problem of purchasing a card first.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Examples.

1 schematically illustrates the configuration of a wireline telephone network of the present invention,

Site (4), (4a) ... (4n) of server (3) connected to at least one user (1) ... (1n) computers via Internet network (2) such as telephone line or leased line To communicate with them,

The server 3 checks the approval status of the billing agency 5 through the subscription DB 3a, and uses the approval DB 3b to approve the use of the site 4 ... 4n. To pass along information,

In the coefficient DB 3c of the server 3 according to the information of the sensor program 6 which recognizes the state where the user 1 ... 1n computer connects to each site 4 ... 4n. Deliver the results of the time (1) ... (1n) to each site (4) ... (4n) to the billing agent (5) so that they can be billed for use. ,
