Abstract
According to one embodiment, After a payment is completed, the notification unit notifies transaction information and a transaction code. The issuing unit issues a voucher on which a visible code representing the transaction code is printed. The creation unit creates provision information based on the notified transaction information. The created provision information is stored in the storage unit in a state of being associated with the transaction code. The reading unit optically reads the visible code that is printed on the voucher. The request unit makes a request for information provision, which is accompanied by the notification of the transaction code that is represented by the visible code. The transaction unit transmits the provision information that is stored in the state of being associated with the transmission code that is notified. The output unit outputs the provision information that is transmitted.
