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.
