[First Embodiment] [System Overview] A first embodiment of the present invention will now be described. Figure 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of the management system 1 in the present invention. The management system 1 includes a service provider 100, an administrator terminal 200, a management server 300, and a user terminal 400. The service provider 100 and the management server 300 can be connected via a communication line N. Similarly, the administrator terminal 200 and the management server 300 can be connected via a communication line N. The user terminal 400 and the management server 300 can also be connected via a communication line N. The communication line N refers to a communication path capable of data communication. That is, the communication line N includes dedicated lines (dedicated cables) for direct connection, LANs such as Ethernet (registered trademark), as well as communication networks such as telephone networks, cable networks, and the Internet, and the communication method is not limited to wired or wireless. <Providing device 100> The dispensing device 100 is a device that dispenses and sells (distributes) items such as capsule toys and trading cards. In capsule toys, the item is contained in a spherical capsule. Recently, there are also items that are dispensed in a spherical form and can be assembled. In the present invention, the shape of the items and capsules to be provided is not limited and any shape is acceptable. The distribution device 100 is installed and managed by the administrator described later at the sales location. Sales locations include, for example, shopping malls, train stations, and retail stores. The distribution device 100 is not limited to one location; there may be multiple locations. At least one distribution device 100 is installed at each sales location. Each distribution device 100 is assigned a unique distribution device ID. Figure 2 shows an example configuration where administrator X installs three dispensing devices 100 (A1-A3) at sales location A, and administrator Y installs two dispensing devices 100 (B1-B2) at sales location B. As shown in Figure 2, each dispensing device 100 includes a detection unit 101 for detecting the discharge of goods and a transmission unit 102. The detection unit 101 detects when the dispensing device 100 dispenses an item and generates dispensing information. The dispensing information includes the dispensing device ID, the number of items dispensed (number sold), and the date and time of transmission of the dispensing information. The number of items dispensed is the number of items dispensed by the dispensing device 100. Methods for the detection unit 101 to detect the dispensing of an item include detecting the operation of an operating unit operated by the user when the item is dispensed, or detecting the passage of an item through a dispensing opening using an infrared sensor, etc. Any of these methods, or any other method, may be used. When the detection unit 101 meets predetermined transmission conditions, it generates dispensing information and transmits it via the transmission unit 102. The predetermined conditions are: The conditions for the provision of an item include: when the detection unit 101 detects the provision of an item; when the count of item provision detected by the detection unit
