PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a counter for adjusting the unit price of a utility to an appropriate price during a specific time period, based on the usage of the utility. SOLUTION: This counter 200 receives signals transmitted for each of the unit usages of a utility from a measuring means 10 that outputs an integrated amount of the utility found by integrating the usage of the utility. This counter 200 includes a count means 50 for counting signals in association with a specific time period and a nonspecific time period during an adjustment time period comprising the specific time period and the nonspecific time period. The count means 50 is constituted such that it counts signals in the specific time period, while multiplying the signals by a prescribed apportionment ratio. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
