Can be realized.

[Modification]
It should be noted that embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can of course be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

(A) Solicitation Conditions For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the solicitation request player satisfies a predetermined solicitation condition, the solicitation request player can solicit the solicitation target player. That is, when the player data 224 of the player satisfies a predetermined solicitation condition, the player can solicit other players. However, when the solicitation target player satisfies the predetermined solicitation condition, It may be determined that the solicitation target player can be solicited.

  Specifically, when receiving the other profile request transmitted from the player terminal 70 (corresponding to step E39 in FIG. 27), the game-linked service server 50 acquires the player data 224 of the designated player from the game server 10. (Corresponding to step E43 in FIG. 27), based on the acquired player data 224, it is determined whether or not a predetermined solicitable condition (specifically, play level, total win / loss count, total play count condition) is satisfied. (Corresponding to step E45 in FIG. 27). Next, if it is determined that it is satisfied, it is determined that the player can be solicited, and profile screen data for displaying a profile screen in which “invite” is selectably displayed is generated. If it is determined, it is determined that the player cannot be solicited, and profile screen data for displaying a profile screen that does not display “Invite” is generated (corresponding to step E47 in FIG. 27). Then, the generated screen data is transmitted to the player terminal 70 (corresponding to step E49 in FIG. 27).

  Further, when the solicitation requesting player satisfies a predetermined soliciting condition and the soliciting target player satisfies a predetermined soliciting condition, the soliciting request player may determine that the soliciting target player can be solicited. Further, when the player data 224 of each of the solicitation request player and the solicitation target player satisfy a predetermined matching condition, the solicitation request player may determine that the solicitation target player can be solicited. Examples of suitable conditions include conditions where the play level is the same or close, and the winning percentage based on the total number of wins or losses is close.

  The determination of whether or not solicitation may be made may be made when an invitation request is received, not when another profile request is received.

(B) Enrollment condition Further, a condition (enrollment condition) may be provided for the player to join the team. Specifically, when the game interlocking service server 50 receives another profile request transmitted from the player terminal 70 (corresponding to step E39 in FIG. 27), the player data 224 of the player of the player terminal 70 is received from the game server 10. Is acquired (corresponding to step E43 in FIG. 27), and based on the acquired player data 224, it is determined whether or not a predetermined participation condition (specifically, play level, total number of wins / losses, total number of play times) is satisfied. (Corresponding to step E45 in FIG. 27). Next, when it is determined that the game is satisfied, it is determined that the player can join the team, and profile screen data for displaying a profile screen in which “join” can be selected is generated. If not, it is determined that the player cannot join the team, and profile screen data for displaying a profile screen that does not display “join” is generated (corresponding to step E47 in FIG. 27). . Then, the generated screen data is transmitted to the player terminal 70 (corresponding to step E49 in FIG. 27).

  Note that this determination as to whether the subscription is possible or not may be determined when a subscription request is received, not when another profile request is received.

(C) Display Setting In the above-described embodiment, the display / non-display of each item on the player screen (see FIG. 5) and the profile screen (see FIG. 6) is displayed for the player that is the display target on the screen. Although the decision is made according to the setting data 628, this may be decided according to the display setting data 628 of the player of the player terminal 70 on which the screen is displayed (that is, the player viewing the screen). . Specifically, for example, among the items of the displayed play data or profile, even if the item is “public” according to the display setting data 628 of the player to be displayed, the display setting of the player to be viewed is displayed. Items set as “private” in the data 628 are determined as “private”. This makes it possible to view information of other players only for items that are publicly disclosed.

(D) The terminal ID of the player terminal 70
Further, when the player terminal 70 is a mobile phone, the terminal ID of the player terminal 70 may be used as the phone number of the mobile phone. Further, when the player terminal 70 is a mobile phone, the player terminal 70 communicates with the game link service server 50 by connecting to the communication line N2 via a server (mobile management server) managed by the corresponding mobile phone company. . In this case, the mobile management server stores the telephone number of each mobile phone and the terminal ID in association with each other. Then, the player terminal 70 may transmit a telephone number as a terminal ID, the telephone number is converted into a terminal ID in the mobile management server, and the converted terminal ID may be transmitted to the game interlocking service server 50. Needless to say, even in this case, the telephone number is a kind of terminal ID.
