An operator number setting control unit 45 sets the number of contracted
operators for a commissioned call center service in response to a request
of a user. A log-in time collecting control unit 42 calculates the log-in
time of the operator. A log-in time computing unit 43 adds respective
log-in times for each user. A billed service charge computing device 44
calculates an amount of charge billed in accordance with the total sum of
log-in time added for each user. A charge is calculated and billed as
such for the amount of use of commissioned call center services in
accordance with the usage pattern of users, thereby promoting the
commissioning of call center services and making it possible to operate a
call center system without a huge amount of capital investment.
