Abstract

Selon l'invention, le chargement d'un service de chargement sur des dispositifs électriques à compatibilité réseau peut être effectué par chaque utilisateur sans qu'une authentification ou qu'une estimation de la capacité de transaction soit nécessaire chaque fois que ce service est utilisé. Un système de chargement (1) est utilisé par un dispositif électrique à compatibilité réseau (3) équipé d'une puce intégrée (30) amovible pouvant contenir des informations uniques telles que les informations d'authentification et/ou de crédit de l'utilisateur. Ce système de chargement (1) comprend : un moyen d'enregistrement (11) conçu pour enregistrer des informations utilisateur, parmi lesquelles figurent au moins des informations d'identification d'utilisateur ainsi que des informations permettant d'identifier la puce intégrée appartenant à l'utilisateur, dans une base de données d'informations utilisateur (12), ainsi que pour enregistrer des informations uniques dans une base de données d'informations uniques (13) ; un moyen de réception d'informations de chargement (16) conçu pour recevoir des informations de chargement relatives au service chargé utilisé par le dispositif électrique (3) et des informations permettant d'identifier la puce intégrée (30) qui est montée sur le dispositif électrique (3), ainsi que pour stocker des informations dans une base de données d'informations de chargement (17) ; et un moyen de notification d'informations de chargement (18) conçu pour trier les informations de chargement reçues pour chacun des utilisateurs ainsi que pour notifier la facture de chargement et/ou les informations de chargement, au moins à l'utilisateur.
