Abstract
This technology enables ordering of consumables used in printing devices registered in the system via voice commands. [Solution] At least one server includes an acquisition means for acquiring information about the remaining amount of consumables for a printing device at a specific time, independent of a voice inquiry from a user, and a control means for controlling the transmission of predetermined information to a voice device for providing a specific notification corresponding to the low remaining amount of consumables for the printing device when predetermined conditions corresponding to the low remaining amount of consumables for the printing device are met, based on the information about the remaining amount of consumables for the printing device acquired by the acquisition means.
