Specifically, the "start position" of the range including the designated auxiliary element is determined as the reproduction start position. At this time, the “priority” of the text management information related to the designated auxiliary element is updated.

[S940]
The user management server 21 provides the URL with parameters for streaming reproduction of the designated movie to the user terminal 10.
Specifically, a text to which a parameter capable of specifying the determined reproduction start position is added to the URL for streaming reproduction of the 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 reproduction request, the reproduction start position is designated.
[S950]
The distribution server 32 streams the specified movie from the reproduction start position to the user terminal 10.

[3. Modification]
[3-1. Modification of priority]
In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the number of times designated by the user is used as the “priority” is adopted. The “priority” is updated every time the reproduction start position is designated 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 degree of importance to an object such as a person and to set the “priority” to be higher in the range in which the video and audio of the object of higher degree of importance are recorded. This configuration is particularly effective when the number of users who watch the movie is limited.

[3-2. Modified example regarding sharing of information processing]
In the above-described embodiment, the content management system 20 (especially the data processing server 22) executes various data processes. The user terminal 10 plays a role corresponding to the input/output device of the content management system 20.
On the other hand, a configuration may be adopted in which the user terminal 10 executes at least part of these data processes. For example, the processing load of the content management system 20 (data processing server 22) can be obtained by causing the user terminal 10 to execute 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. Can be suppressed.
