  Now, the user management information storage unit 111 holds a user management table having the structure shown in FIG. The user management table stores one or more records having “user ID” and “user information”. Here, “user ID” is a user identifier. “User information” includes “user attributes” and “behavior history information”. The “user attribute” is the personal information described above, and includes “name”, “age”, “sex”, “address”, and the like. The “address” may be a complete address, only a prefecture, or only a prefecture and a municipality. In addition, the “behavior history information” includes “card number”, “amount”, “use store”, “product name”, “product code”, “product type”, and “use date”. “Product name” is the name of a product or service. “Product type” is the type of product or service. “Use date” is the date when the credit card is used. Furthermore, it is assumed that the user management table does not have “action history information” of each user at an initial stage.

  The catalog parts information storage unit 112 holds a catalog parts management table as shown in FIG. The catalog part management table manages catalog part information. The catalog parts management table holds one or more records having “ID”, “product name”, “attribute information”, “photograph”, and the like. “ID” is information for identifying a record. “Product name” is the name of a product or service. “Attribute information” is an attribute of a product or service, and has “product type”, “seller”, “amount”, “subject”, “mailing date”, and the like. “Product type” is the type of product or service. “Target person” is information for specifying a person who uses a product or a person who enjoys a service.

  In such a situation, for example, the user “Hanako Tanaka” displays a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the first terminal 12 that is the terminal device of his / her own year-end gift site in order to present “Taro Yamada” to the year-end present. It is assumed that the user ID “30001”, the budget amount “5000 yen”, and the user ID “30002” of the presenting destination “Taro Yamada” are input, and the “presentation” button is pressed.
