1. A control method, comprising:
(a) obtaining battery information which is information regarding a battery;
(b) calculating a residual value of the battery at present based on the battery information obtained;
(c) calculating a first residual value using a first model which has been trained, the first residual value being a residual value of the battery in a case where a user uses the battery with a tendency identical to a tendency of a plurality of other users; and
(d) issuing a token to the user according to an evaluation value calculated based on the residual value at present and the first residual value calculated, wherein
the residual value at present and the first residual value are each an index for a degradation state of the battery.
