It is written as 222d (S21).

  The acquisition determination unit 233a monitors the purchase history information 222d in the memory 222, and the number of purchases (corresponding to the number of purchase data included in the purchase history information 222d) is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (here, 5 times). It is determined whether or not (S22). If the number of purchases is less than the predetermined number (No in S22), the process returns to S21.

  On the other hand, when the number of purchases is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times (Yes in S22), the notification control unit 233b causes the sound / vibration generation unit 26 to generate sound and / or vibration, and obtains a campaign application qualification for the user. (S24).

  Next, the notification control unit 233b determines whether there is an operation from the user (S25). Here, the operation from the user is an arbitrary input to the input unit 24, for example.

  When there is no operation from the user (No in S25), the notification control unit 233b stops the operation of the application unit 23 (S26). Thereafter, the process returns to S21.

  On the other hand, when there is an operation from the user (Yes in S25), the notification control unit 233b causes the display unit 25 to display a screen indicating that the campaign application qualification has been acquired (S27). At this time, the notification control unit 233b causes the display unit 25 to display an instruction for the user to input whether or not to apply.

As shown in FIG. 10, the application data determination unit 234a indicates that the only product that can be applied with the number of purchases “5” is the “original mobile phone strap”. For example, when the number of purchases is “20 times”, the user can select “original mobile phone strap” or “one box of αβ beverage”.

  Then, the application data determination unit 234a stores the desired prize name input to the input unit 24 in the memory 222 as the desired prize data 222e (S31). The application data determination unit 234a outputs a transmission start instruction for instructing the start of transmission to the transmission processing unit 234b when the process of storing the desired prize data 222e in the memory 222 is completed.

  Next, the transmission processing unit 234b causes the display unit 25 to display an instruction for inputting whether to transmit the application data, and determines whether or not the application data is transmitted (S35).

  When an instruction “not apply” is input to the input unit 24 (No in S35), the transmission processing unit 234b displays on the display unit 25 that the operation of the application unit 23 is stopped (S36). For example, when the user desires “αβ beverage 1 box” that can be applied with 20 purchases, the user can select not to apply for the “original mobile phone strap” that can be applied with 5 purchases. Thereby, the frequency | count of purchase can be increased. Thereafter, the process returns to S26 and S21.

  On the other hand, when an instruction to “apply” is input to the input unit 24 (Yes in S35), the transmission processing unit 234b reads the desired prize data 222e and the unique ID 222b stored in the memory 222. Then, the transmission processing unit 234b transmits the application data including the read desired prize data 222e and the unique ID 222b to the management server 5 via the network communication unit 21 and the network N (S37).

  The transmission processing unit 234b determines whether or not the network communication unit 21 has successfully transmitted (S38).

  When a transmission error has occurred (No in S38), the transmission processing unit 234b determines whether or not the elapsed time from the process of S37 is within a predetermined time limit (S39). If it is within the time limit (Yes in S39), the transmission processing unit 234b performs the process of S38 again. On the other hand, if it is not within the time limit (No in S39), the transmission processing unit 234b causes the display unit 25 to display a screen indicating that the time limit has been exceeded (S40). Thereafter, the process returns to S36.

  On the other hand, if the transmission is successful (Yes in S38), the transmission processing unit 234b outputs a deletion instruction to the application qualification data deletion unit 234c. Upon receiving a deletion instruction from the transmission processing unit 234b, the application qualification data deletion unit 234c deletes purchase data corresponding to the number of times corresponding to the application qualification from the purchase history information 222d in the memory 222 (S41).

  Thereafter, the transmission processing unit 234b displays a screen indicating that the application has been completed on the display unit (S42). FIG. 11 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 25 by the transmission processing unit 234b in S42.
