Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0992947A2] A non-volatile usage-memory (16) stores previous usage data and is connected to a microprocessor (6). The microprocessor is programmed in a storage mode for storing usage data corresponding to previous usage, and enters a communication mode in which data are transmitted from the usage memory to a remote store (31). The data transmission allows a statistical evaluation of the usage data. The microprocessor is programmed to re-initialize the usage memory in order to restore its predefined capacity after data transmission. A method of storing data relating to the usage of a terminal is also claimed.
