In the display example of FIG. 12, the frame 1022d, the corresponding text 1026d, the frame 1022e, the corresponding text 1026e, and the elements accompanying them are further added.
The frame 1022d, the corresponding text 1026d, the frame 1022e, and the corresponding text 1026e are auxiliary elements having low relative priority.

When the instruction screen of FIG. 12 is displayed on the user terminal 10, when the button 1030 is tapped, an element update request is sent from the user terminal 10 to the user management server 21.
FIG. 13 shows a display example of the instruction screen after the second update according to the user operation.
In the display example of FIG. 13, the frame 1022f, the corresponding text 1026f, and the elements accompanying them are further added.
The frame 1022f and the corresponding text 1026f are auxiliary elements having a lower relative priority.

[S935]
The user management server 21 determines the playback start position of the designated movie.
Specifically, the "starting position" of the range in which the specified auxiliary element is included is determined as the playback start position. At this time, the "priority" of the text management information related to the specified auxiliary element is updated.

[S940]
The user management server 21 provides the user terminal 10 with a URL with parameters for streaming and playing the designated movie.
Specifically, a text in which a parameter that can specify a determined playback start position is added to a URL for streaming playback of a designated movie is generated and provided to the user terminal 10 as a redirect destination.

[S945]
The distribution server 32 receives the reproduction request from the user terminal 10. In the playback request, the playback start position is specified.
[S950]
The distribution server 32 streams the designated movie to the user terminal 10 from the playback start position.

[3. Modification example]
[3-1. Modification example regarding priority]
In the above embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the number of times specified by the user is used as the "priority". The "priority" is updated every time the playback start position is specified by the user.
On the other hand, a configuration in which the "priority" is predetermined may be adopted. For example, it is possible to set the importance of an object such as a person, and to configure the "priority" to be higher as the video or audio of the object of higher importance is recorded. This configuration is particularly effective when the number of users who watch the movie is limited.

[3-2. Modification example regarding sharing of information processing]
In the above embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the content management system 20 (particularly the data processing server 22) executes various data processes. The user terminal 10 plays a role corresponding to an input / output device of the content management system 20.
On the other hand, a configuration in which the user terminal 10 executes at least a part of these data processes may be adopted. For example, if the user terminal 10 executes a process of extracting a frame or a voice from a movie, a process of performing a voice recognition process on the extracted voice to obtain a corresponding text, or the like, the processing load of the content management system 20 (data processing server 22). Can be suppressed.
