Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to intuitively search for a favorite object for purchase from the viewpoint of his or her loyalty to the object, such as a character. SOLUTION: A virtual shopping mall system which sells commodities related to works such as an animation, cartoon, game, etc., is provided with a related information storage part (15) where the name of a work and the work component including characters appearing in the work are associated with each other; and a commodity related information storage part (16) where the work component and commodity identifying information for identifying a commodity associated with the work component are associated. When a commodity retrieval request is received with a work component, the work component associated with the received work component is extracted by accessing the associated information storage part. The commodity specifying information for specifying the commodity associated with the extracted work component and commodity specifying information for specifying the commodity associated with the received work component are obtained from the commodity related information storage part and information on the obtained commodity is output.
