When the user terminal is connected to the Internet, a time measuring part measures a connection time in an ISP server. The ISP server integrates the connection time for a fixed period, and notifies the server of the power company of the connection time. The server of the power company applies points to a user based on the length of the connection time. Thus, it is possible for the user to receive various privileges according to the acquired number of points. It may be possible for the user to convert the points into a sum, and it is also possible to receive the discount of an electricity charge. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
