ABSTRACT:
Anonymous use of and payment for, as well as collection of statistics, fee-based services, in particular Near-VOD services, employing a single chip card that can be used for all service providers. The chip card is used for paying for fee-based services of different service providers. Storage of usage-related data for collection of statistics and for payment for fee-based services as well as an authorization check is provided on the chip card. When an amount of money is loaded onto the chip card, these data are read and transmitted to a central office for the purpose of collecting statistics relating to the usage of individual services and crediting the individual service providers while, at the same time, guaranteeing anonymity of the individual customer-specific data.
