Abstract

A charging method for goods and services provided by application programs through a data network is suggested, comprising the following steps: specifying the cost for using each application program in terms of charging units; providing a transaction server adapted to receive and store information related to the use of each application program; providing an application program interface between each application program and the transaction server, adapted to transfer information regarding the cost of each application, in terms of charging units, from the application program to the transaction server. A device for carrying out the method is disclosed, comprising means for receiving and storing information about the cost to be registered for a customer for using an application, said information being received in the form of charging units; means for calculating the cost of said session in terms of a valid currency.
