SERVICE PROVIDER DEVICE, SERVICE USER TERMINAL, SERVICE PROVIDING SYSTEM, AND ACCOUNTING METHOD IN SERVICE PROVIDING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the convenience of a user who uses a service, and to achieve the optimal accounting to the provider of the service in a system for providing a service through a communication network. SOLUTION: In a service providing system, when a service user terminal 2A makes a service provision request, a use right consumption request is transmitted from a service provider device 4, and a service user terminal 2B receives the use right consumption request from the service provider device 4, and calculates an accounting sum on the basis of charge table information and attribute information included in the use right consumption request, and performs the consumption processing of the service use right. Thus, it is not necessary to transmit any personal information or the like to the service provider device 4 each time receiving the provision of the service, and it is possible to improve convenience for the user, and to achieve the optimal accounting corresponding to the use quantity of the service to each service provision origin.
