In response to transmission of the authentication information to a purchase server, the management server receives, from the purchase server, M number of pieces of color-material identification information identifying M number of types of color material that have been previously purchased by the target user. The management server extracts, from among the M number of pieces of color-material identification information, N number of pieces of color-material identification information, identifying N number of types of color material, by using the first relationship information. The management server transmits, to the terminal device, second relationship information for controlling the terminal device to display a screen used for purchasing at least one type of color material from among the N number of types of color material.
