When the borrower user and the lender user have a friendship on the SNS, the SNS management unit 60 determines that the intimacy is high and allows the borrower to borrow the product between the borrower user and the lender user. If the lent user is not in a friendship relationship with the SNS, it is determined that the intimacy is low, and loan restriction information indicating that the rent of the product is prohibited between the borrower user and the renter user is generated. If such loan restriction information is generated, the lender user can lend the product only to the borrower user who has a close affinity with him.

  The SNS management unit 60 generates loan restriction information based on the product attributes. For example, when the product is “scissors” in the case where the product is “scissors” between the borrower user A and the lender user B, the SNS management unit 60 sets “scissors” between the borrower user A and the lender user B. Borrowing is permitted, and when the product is “bicycle”, the borrowing restriction information indicating that the borrowing of “bicycle” is prohibited between the borrower user A and the borrower user B is generated. Note that the SNS management unit 60 sets the loan restriction information based on the product attributes for each combination between the borrower user A and the lender user B, or between the borrower user H and the lender user J, for example. Can be generated. If such loan restriction information is generated, the lender user can determine a borrowable product for each borrower user based on the attribute of the product.

  For example, when a user who is a borrower borrows a product, the SNS management unit 60 performs processing such as subtracting the point associated with the product from the points held by the user. Further, for example, if the SNS management unit 60 determines that the storage space of the lending return organization 3 is small based on the information indicating the availability of the storage space for the product in the lending return organization 3, a point is given to the lender user. May be configured to be charged. The merchandise management server 5 displays display information for displaying a merchandise registration screen that can be easily grasped when the lender user registers a merchandise on the SNS when points are charged to the lender user. Generate. Further, the SNS management unit 60 sets a predetermined range R1 associated with the user A (mobile terminal 1A) and a predetermined range R2 associated with the user B (mobile terminal 1B) shown in FIG.
