The screen C21 shown is displayed. For example, the provider terminal 200-1 displays the screen C21 including the area AR21 for displaying the name of the user and the first content transmitted by the user. When the first content transmitted from the user U1 is pressed, the provider terminal 200-1 shifts the screen C21 to the screen C22 for editing the first content.

The provider terminal 200-1 displays a screen C22 including an area AR22 for displaying the first content and buttons B21 to B25 for editing the first content. For example, when the button B21 is pressed, the provider terminal 200-1 cancels the editing operation of the first content and transitions to the screen C21 again. Further, when the button B22 is pressed, the provider terminal 200-1 draws a line drawing corresponding to a tap operation, a slide operation, or the like of the provider M1 with respect to the area AR22 in the first content. When the button B23 is pressed, the provider terminal 200-1 activates the sound sensor (microphone) of its own device and inserts the voice of the provider M1 into the first content. Further, when the button B24 is pressed, the provider terminal 200-1 plays or stops the first content. When the button B25 is pressed, the provider terminal 200-1 ends the editing operation of the first content, and transmits the edited first content (that is, the second content) to the payment server 10.

Here, the screen C23 is shown as an example of the first content after being edited by the provider M1. For example, the provider M1 draws a line drawing showing a corrected portion of the pose of the user U1 on the first content.

Returning to FIG. 1, the explanation will be continued. The payment server 10 provides the second content to the user terminal 100 (step S10). Subsequently, the payment server 10 transfers the amount of money corresponding to the provision of the second content from the predetermined account to the account of the provider M1 (step S11). For example, when the second content is received from the provider terminal 200-1 and provided to the user terminal 100 by the deadline provided (notified) to the provider M1 in step S7, the payment server 10 makes a payment from the user U1. The amount of electronic money is transferred to the account held by the provider M1 in the electronic payment service. On the other hand, if the second content is not received by the deadline notified to the provider M1 and cannot be provided to the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money for the payment amount from the predetermined account to the user U1. Transfers to an account held by an electronic payment service. That is, the payment server 10 refunds the payment amount to the user U1 on the assumption that the feedback request has been canceled by the provider M1.

The payment server 10 may transfer the amount of money according to the evaluation from the user U1 who has viewed the second content from the predetermined account to the account of the provider M1. For example, when the evaluation from the user U1 is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, the payment server 10 transfers the entire payment amount to the account of the provider M1. On the other hand, when the evaluation from the user U1 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, the payment server 10 transfers a part of the payment amount to the account of the provider M1 and the balance to the account of the user U1.
