ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a service provision support system that can reduce the economic expenses imposed on a service recipient due to the provision of a service, and that can provide a service for an unspecified, large number of persons. A charge bundle includes: a usage status detection process, to detect the usage state of a charge bundle compatible device; a charge calculation process, to calculate the usage charge based on the usage status detected during the usage status detection process; and a charge notification process, to notify a charge bundle management server of the usage charge obtained by the charge calculation process. The charge bundle management server generates a charge bundle in accordance with a request received from the service provision terminal, and transmits the generated charge bundle to the charge bundle compatible device. Further, the charge bundle management server performs the charge process to charge the service provider the usage charge acquired during the charge notification process. When the charge bundle compatible device receives the charge bundle, it constitutes the usage status detection process, the charge calculation process, and the charge notification process based on the received charge bundle.
