One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a service provision method that makes it possible to perform product management without the need to assign new product identifier numbers after a merger between manufacturers, and that makes it possible for each consumer to obtain reliable product information. A one-of-a-kind unique code assigned to a product is read by a consumer terminal (4), and an inquiry regarding the product is transmitted via a network to the base web server (11) of a base system (2). The base web server (11) searches to determine whether a URL for the web server (23) of the manufacturer is associated with the unique code of the product that is the subject of the inquiry and transfers the inquiry from the consumer to the web server (23) of the manufacturer when a URL is associated with the unique code. In response to the transferred inquiry, the web server (23) of the manufacturer transmits stored information that is associated with the unique code of the product that is the subject of the inquiry to the consumer terminal (4). |
