Abstract

Un système de fourniture de jeu comprend : un serveur fournissant des championnats de sponsors qui transmet une liste de championnats de sponsors à un dispositif électronique conformément à un signal de sélection de championnats de sponsors reçu du dispositif électronique, et transmet des données publicitaires enregistrées dans un championnat de sponsors particulier lors de l'exécution d'un jeu correspondant au championnat de sponsors particulier sélectionné dans la liste de championnats de sponsors. Un dispositif électronique demande une liste de championnats de sponsors au serveur fournissant des championnats de sponsors dans le cas où le championnat de sponsors est sélectionné dans une liste de menus de mode de jeu, et affiche un écran d'exécution de jeu comprenant des données publicitaires d'un côté lorsqu'un jeu correspondant au championnat de sponsors particulier est exécuté.
