Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the remitting method of a share ware using charge by extracting a desired share ware through a share ware extracting means, specifying the author of the extracted share ware, and operating a remitting operation. CONSTITUTION:A share ware author registers a software program prepared by the author of a share ware in a share ware registering means 1 by using one's own terminal equipment 8. This program is stored by a share ware storage means 2. A share ware remittance information registering means 3 registers the share ware remittance information from the terminal equipment 8 of the share ware author, and the information is stored by a share ware remittance information storage means 4. Next, a user extracts the software program from the storage means 2 in one's own terminal equipment 9 by using a share ware extracting means 5. A share ware remittance selecting means 6 adds the charge of the share ware as charge data to a charge requesting means 7 based on the operation of the share ware remittance.
