ABSTRACT:
An accounting method is provided wherein advertisement information is provided from an exchange to a terminal accommodated in the exchange and the communication charge to be charged to the terminal is discounted based on an amount of advertisement information received by the terminal.
Advertisement information is provided from an advertisement apparatus provided in an exchange to a subscriber terminal, and a discount money amount is determined based on an amount of advertisement information provided. Each time the subscriber telephone set receives advertisement information, a discount money amount for the subscriber telephone set is cumulatively stored into an accounting apparatus, and the amount of money to be charged to the subscriber telephone set is determined based on the discount money amount recorded in the accounting apparatus and the money amount of communication charges imposed based on ordinary communication.
