Abstract
A method of efficiently collecting a charge for the payment of money for an article of merchandise that are purchased is used in a charge collection system having a contactless storage medium in an article tag which has recorded product information therein, a contactless storage medium in a customer terminal which has recorded customer ID information therein, and a charging device in a store. The method comprises the steps of reading the product information from the contactless storage medium in the article tag into the charging device (step 71), calculating a total amount of money with the charging device based on the read product information (step 72), settling the payment of the calculated total amount of money with the charging device by receiving corresponding cash or reading the customer ID information from the contactless storage medium in the customer terminal (steps 74-78), and recording information of the settled payment in the contactless storage medium in the article tag (steps 79, 80).
