  (Step S403) The game information configuration unit 1109 acquires from the shooting object identifier storage unit 1103 one or more shooting object identifiers corresponding to the terminal identifier included in the terminal information received in step S401. Here, there are cases where the shooting object identifier cannot be acquired. Also, the one or more shooting object identifiers acquired here are the one or more shooting object identifiers that are newest (immediately before).

  (Step S404) The game information configuration unit 1109 acquires a visible object identifier. The visible object identifier is information for identifying a visible object that is not included in the immediately preceding shooting object but is newly included in the shooting object. In addition, the game information structure part 1109 acquires a visible object identifier as follows, for example.

The invisible object identifier is information for identifying an invisible object that is included in the shooting object but is no longer included. The invisible object identifier acquisition unit 1108 acquires the invisible object identifier as follows, for example. The invisible object identifier acquisition unit 1108 acquires one or more shooting object identifiers acquired in step S403. Then, the invisible object identifier acquisition unit 1108 acquires one or more shooting object identifiers that identify the shooting object determined in step S402. Next, the invisible object identifier acquisition unit 1108 exists in the one or more shooting object identifiers acquired in step S403, but does not exist in the one or more shooting object identifiers determined in step S402. The shooting object identifier of is acquired.

  (Step S406) The game content acquisition unit 1107 determines whether one or more visible object identifiers have been acquired in step S404. If the visible object identifier is acquired, the process goes to step S407, and if the visible object identifier is not acquired, the process goes to step S410.

  (Step S407) The game content acquisition unit 1107 acquires game content corresponding to one or more visible object identifiers from the game content storage unit 1102.

  (Step S408) The game information configuration unit 1109 determines whether or not game content has been acquired in step S407. If game content can be acquired, go to step S409, otherwise go to step S410.

  (Step S409) The game information configuration unit 1109 configures the first game information using the game content acquired in step S407. The first game information usually includes a visible object identifier, game content, and an attribute value of an object corresponding to the visible object identifier (for example, position information, position coordinates on the screen, etc.) for one or more visible objects. It has as many as the corresponding game content.

  (Step S410) The invisible object identifier acquisition unit 1108 determines whether one or more invisible object identifiers have been acquired in step S406. If the invisible object identifier is acquired, the process goes to step S411. If the invisible object identifier is not acquired, the process goes to step S412.

  (Step S411) The game information configuration unit 1109 configures the second game information using the one or more invisible object identifiers acquired in step S406. The second game information typically includes an invisible command that includes one or more invisible object identifiers.

  (Step S412) The server transmission unit 1111 determines whether the first game information and / or the second game information is configured. If the game information is configured, the process goes to step S413, and if the game information is not configured, the process returns to step S401.

  (Step S413) The server transmission unit 1111 transmits the configured first game information and / or second game information to the game terminal device 12.

  (Step S414) The game information configuration unit 1109 configures management information using the configured first game information and / or second game information. The management information is information having information for specifying the game content currently displayed on each game terminal device 12. The management information includes, for example, an identifier of the game information configuration unit 1109, a game content identifier for identifying game content (may be an object identifier), and a state of the game content (various attribute values, states such as generation / extinction). Identification information).

  (Step S415) The game information configuration unit 1109 records the management information configured in step S414 on a recording medium (management information storage unit) (not shown). The process returns to step S401.

  (Step S416) The server reception unit 1104 determines whether an operation has been received from the game terminal device 12. If an operation is received, the process goes to step S417, and if no operation is received, the process goes to step S420. Here, the server reception unit 1104 normally also receives a terminal identifier for identifying the game terminal device 12.

  (Step S417) The change information acquisition unit 1113 acquires change information corresponding to the operation received in step S416. The change information is, for example, information for erasing game content, and is a game content erasure command including a game content identifier. The change information is information for powering up game content, for example, and is a power-up command including an identifier of the game content and a power-up degree indicating the degree of power-up. In addition, change information is information for progress of a game, for example. It should be noted that what kind of change information is acquired for what kind of operation depends on the story and rules of the game.

  (Step S418) The change information transmission unit 1114 transmits the change information acquired in step S417 to the game terminal device 12.

  (Step S419) The change information acquisition unit 1113 updates the management information of a recording medium (management information storage unit) (not shown) using the change information acquired in step S417. When the change information is a game content deletion command, the management information is changed so as to delete the game content specified by the identifier included in the game content deletion command. The process returns to step S401.

  (Step S420) The same space terminal determination unit 1117 and the like perform the same space terminal process that is a process related to the same space terminal. The process returns to step S401. The same space terminal process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process ends.

  Next, the shooting object determination process in step S402 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S501) The shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires the position information included in the terminal information received in step S401.

  (Step S502) The shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires an angle at which shooting is not performed using the direction information included in the terminal information received in step S401 and the viewing angle. Then, the shooting object determination unit 1106 registers (records) the angle (the angle of the invisible region) on the recording medium. For example, when the direction information is 90 degrees (for example, true east) and the viewing angle is 40 degrees, the captured angle is “70 degrees to 110 degrees”. Therefore, the shooting object determination unit 1106 registers “0 <= invisible region angle <70” and “110 <invisible region angle <= 360”. Here, the shooting object determination unit 1106 may acquire and register the shooting angle (angle of the visible region). That is, it is assumed that the registration of the angle of the visible region is equivalent to the registration of the angle of the invisible region.

  (Step S503) The shooting object determination unit 1106 sorts the object information in the object information storage unit 1101 in the order of objects closer to the game terminal device 12, using the position information acquired in step S501. Such processing is called object sort processing. The object sort process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S504) The shooting object determining unit 1106 substitutes 1 for the counter i.

  (Step S505) The shooting object determination unit 1106 determines whether or not the i-th object exists in the object information sorted in step S503. If the i-th object exists, the process proceeds to step S506, and if the i-th object does not exist, the process returns to the upper process.

  (Step S506) The shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires area information included in the object information of the i-th object from the sorted object information.

  (Step S507) The shooting object determination unit 1106 uses the position information acquired in step S501 and the region information acquired in step S505 to display the i-th object on the display of the shooting object (game terminal device 12). Or not). Such a determination is referred to as a visual determination process. The visibility determination process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  (Step S508) As a result of the determination in step S506, the shooting object determination unit 1106 goes to step S509 if the i-th object is a shooting object, and goes to step S510 if it is not a shooting object.

    (Step S509) The shooting object determination unit 1106 stores at least the object identifier of the i-th object in a storage medium (not shown). Here, determining the shooting object is, for example, storing an object identifier.

  (Step S510) The shooting object determining unit 1106 determines whether a visible area exists from the registered invisible area or visible area. If the visible area exists, the process goes to step S511, and if not, the process returns to the upper process. Such determination may be performed in a two-dimensional plane or may be performed in a three-dimensional space.

  (Step S511) The photographing object determining unit 1106 increments the counter i by 1. The process returns to step S505.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the angle of the invisible region is registered. However, the angle of the visible region may be registered, and only an object that falls within this angle may be processed.

  Further, in step S510 of the flowchart of FIG. 5, the shooting object determination unit 1106 is arranged in order of increasing distance from the game terminal device 12 (may be in the order of closeness in the set of objects in which the range and angle are divided). When an object is inspected and information on an area that becomes invisible by shooting an object that has been previously determined to be shot by the game terminal device 12 is registered as an invisible area, the visible area disappears (all invisible areas) It is explained that the inspection of whether or not the object is photographed on the game terminal device 12 is ended.

Specifically, the process of step S510 is as follows. In other words, the shooting object determination unit 1106 inspects the objects in the order from the game terminal device 12 in the closest order, and information on an area that is invisible by shooting the object previously determined that the game terminal device 12 is shooting (here, normal , A minimum angle (θ ₁ ) and a maximum angle (θ ₂ ), which will be described later, are registered as invisible areas, and information on an area that becomes an invisible area is acquired by the next object to be inspected and the game terminal device 12, and the minimum angle ( It is determined whether or not all the areas specified by θ ₃ ) and the maximum angle (θ ₄ ) have already been registered as invisible areas. If not registered as invisible areas, the next object to be inspected is the game terminal device 12. Is determined to be shooting, and the area specified by the minimum angle (θ ₃ ) and the maximum angle (θ ₄ ) is invisible. The process of registering as an area is repeated, and the inspection of the object is terminated when all areas of the viewing angle included in the terminal information become invisible areas.

  Furthermore, in the flowchart of FIG. 5, when the visible region no longer exists, the detection processing of the object being photographed is terminated. However, when an object in the visible region is found by the number of thresholds, an object that matches a predetermined condition (for example, a specific genre such as a hospital or a restaurant) is found, and the distance of the game terminal device 12 The object detection process may be terminated depending on other conditions, such as only objects within a predetermined distance from the inspection target.

  Next, the object sort processing in step S502 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S601) The distance calculation unit 1105 substitutes 1 for a counter i.

  (Step S602) The distance calculation unit 1105 determines whether or not the i-th object exists in the object information storage unit 1101. If the i-th object exists, the process goes to step S603, and if the i-th object does not exist, the process goes to step S607.

  (Step S603) The distance calculation unit 1105 acquires the position information of the i-th object from the object information storage unit 1101. Note that the position information of the i-th object is included in the object information of the i-th object.

  (Step S604) The distance calculation unit 1105 calculates the distance between the point indicated by the position information included in the terminal information and the point indicated by the position information acquired in Step S603.

  (Step S605) The distance calculation unit 1105 pairs the distance acquired in step S604 and the object information (or part of the information) of the i-th object and temporarily stores them in a recording medium (not shown).

  (Step S606) The distance calculation unit 1105 increments the counter i by 1. The process returns to step S602.

  (Step S607) The shooting object determination unit 1106 sorts the object information in the order of closer (smaller) distance using the distance as a key. Return to upper process.

  Next, the visibility determination process in step S506 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. The visibility determination process here is a first visibility determination process. The first visibility determination process is a process for determining whether or not the object is output on the display of the game terminal device 12 using only the planar information of the object.

  (Step S701) The shooting object determining unit 1106 substitutes 1 for the counter i.

  (Step S702) The shooting object determination unit 1106 determines whether or not the i-th point exists in the area information of the object to be determined. If the i-th point exists, the process goes to step S703, and if the i-th point does not exist, the process goes to step S705. The region information is assumed to be composed of points indicating the outer shape, for example. The points indicating the outer shape include four points if the region indicated by the region information is a tetragon, and eight points if the region is an octagon. The point is usually indicated by (latitude, longitude) or (x coordinate, y coordinate).

  (Step S703) The shooting object determination unit 1106 calculates an angle (θ) between the i-th point and position information (position information included in the terminal information), and temporarily stores the angle (θ) in a buffer. The reference for the angle (θ) is, for example, true north. However, the standard only needs to be constant and is not necessarily true north. The position information is information indicating the position of the game terminal device 12.

  (Step S704) The shooting object determining unit 1106 increments the counter i by one. The process returns to step S702.

(Step S705) The shooting object determination unit 1106 obtains the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ) from the angle (θ) temporarily stored in the buffer in step S703.

(Step S706) The shooting object determining unit 1106 determines whether or not all the areas of the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ) acquired in step S705 are already registered angle areas. To do. If it is an area of an already registered angle, go to step S710, and if it does not include any of the already registered angle areas, go to step S707.

  (Step S707) The shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that this object is a shooting object. Information (for example, “1”) indicating that the object is a shooting object is substituted as a return value.

(Step S708) Since the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that this object is a shooting object, in addition to the angle currently registered as an invisible region, the shooting object determination unit 1106 has a minimum angle (θ ₁ ) and a maximum angle (θ ₂ ). Acquires the width (area) of the angle that makes the area invisible. For example, when “30 to 40 degrees” is currently registered, the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) is 35 degrees, and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ) is 45 degrees, the shooting object determination unit 1106 Acquires “30 degrees to 45 degrees”. Also, for example, when “30 to 40 degrees” is currently registered, the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) is 55 degrees, and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ) is 60 degrees, “55 to 60 degrees”. Get "degree".

  (Step S709) The shooting object determining unit 1106 registers the angle acquired in step S708. For example, in the above, “30 degrees to 45 degrees” is overwritten with the information “30 degrees to 40 degrees”. For example, in the above, “55 degrees to 60 degrees” is additionally written. Return to upper process. At this time, a return value (a value indicating the shooting object) is also returned.

  (Step S710) The shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that the shooting object determination unit 1106 is a non-shooting object. Information indicating that the object is a non-photographing object (for example, “0”) is substituted as a return value. Return to upper process. At this time, a return value (a value indicating a non-photographing object) is also returned.

  Next, the visibility determination process in step S506 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. The visibility determination process here is a second visibility determination process. The second visibility determination process is a process of determining whether or not the object is output on the display of the game terminal device 12 using the three-dimensional information of the object. In the flowchart of FIG. 8, the description of the same steps as those of the flowchart of FIG. 7 is omitted.

(Step S801) The shooting object determination unit 1106 calculates an angle (θ _h ) in the height direction between the i-th point (x1, y1, z1) and the position information (x0, y0, z0), and stores it in the buffer. To do.

(Step S802) The shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires the angle (θ ₃ ) in the height direction from the viewpoint (position information). θ ₃ is the maximum angle among θ _h stored in step S801.

(Step S803) The shooting object determining unit 1106 determines whether or not an angle equal to or greater than the angle (θ ₃ ) in the height direction has already been registered in the region of the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ). Judging. If it is registered, the process goes to step S710, and if not registered, the process goes to step S707. If an angle equal to or higher than the angle (θ ₃ ) in the height direction has already been registered, it indicates that the target object is in the invisible region and is not a shooting object.

Acquires the width (area) of the angle that makes the area invisible. For example, when “30 to 40 degrees” is currently registered, the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) is 35 degrees, and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ) is 45 degrees, the shooting object determination unit 1106 Acquires “30 degrees to 45 degrees”.

(Step S805) Since the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that this object is a shooting object, the shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires an angle (θ ₃ ) in the height direction. For example, when the height angle “30 degrees” is registered in the plane area of the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ), the acquired angle in the height direction (θ ₃ ) Is “35 degrees”, “35 degrees” is acquired.

(Step S806) The photographing object determining unit 1106 associates the angle of the planar area (eg, “30 degrees to 45 degrees”) acquired in step S804 with the angle in the height direction (eg, “35 degrees”). Accumulate (register). Return to upper process. At this time, a return value is also returned. Note that the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that the angle in the height direction currently registered as the invisible area in the plane area of the minimum angle (θ ₁ ) and the maximum angle (θ ₂ ) is the angle in the height direction (θ ₃₎ determines the whether or, if the height direction of the angle (theta ₃₎ above, do not accumulate angle (theta ₃₎ in the height direction.

The shooting object determination unit 1106 determines “(θA− (θa / 2)) <= visible region <= (θA + (θa / 2))” as an angle that becomes a visible region. Then, the angle excluding the visible region is calculated and stored as the invisible region angle. Such a concept is shown in FIG. When the visible region does not cross the true north line, the invisible region angle is “0 <= invisible region angle <(θA− (θa / 2))” and “(θA + (θa / 2)) <invisible region. Angle <= 360 ”. When the visible region extends across the true north line, the invisible region angle is “(θA + (θa / 2)) <invisible region angle <(θA− (θa / 2))”.

(Specific example 2)

  Now, the object information storage unit 1101 of the server apparatus 11 holds the object information management table shown in FIG. The object information management table is a table that manages object information on the map. The object information management table manages one or more records having attribute values such as “object identifier”, “object name”, “URL”, “location information”, and “region information”. 19, the difference from the object information management table of FIG. 12 is that each point constituting the area information has height information (z).

  The game content storage unit 1102 of the server device 11 holds a game content management table shown in FIG.

  Further, it is assumed that the game terminal device 12 is a terminal having two displays.

  In such a case, it is assumed that the user has activated the game terminal device 12. Then, the reception unit 121 receives an activation instruction. And the camera part 122 acquires a camera image | video. Then, the camera video output unit 1261 of the output unit 126 outputs the video acquired by the camera unit 122. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, an image of the outside world is output to the first display (upper display) of the game terminal device 12.

  Next, the position information acquisition means 1231 (here, for example, a GPS receiver) of the terminal information acquisition unit 123 of the game terminal device 12 acquires the position information (X, Y, Z) of the game terminal device 12. Z is the height.

  Next, the direction information acquisition unit 1232 acquires direction information (θA, θB) indicating the direction in which the game terminal device 12 is facing. θA is an angle on a plane, and θB is an angle in the height direction. The direction information (θA) indicates, for example, a clockwise angle from true north (90 degrees for true east).

  In addition, the terminal information acquisition unit 123 reads information on the viewing angle of the camera unit 122 (simply referred to as “viewing angle”). Here, it is assumed that the viewing angles are (θa, θb). The camera unit 122 stores the viewing angles (θa, θb) in advance. Here, θa is an angle on the plane, and θb is an angle in the height direction. Viewing angles (θa, θb) are shown in FIG.

  Next, the terminal information acquisition unit 123 acquires terminal information (X, Y) having the acquired position information (X, Y, Z), the acquired direction information (θA, θB), and the viewing angles (θa, θb). , Z, θA, θB, θa, θb).

  Next, the transmission unit 124 transmits the configured terminal information (X, Y, Z, θA, θB, θa, θb) to the server device 11.

  Then, the server reception unit 1104 of the server device 11 receives terminal information (X, Y, Z, θA, θB, θa, θb) from the game terminal device 12.

  Next, the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines a shooting object as follows. That is, the shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires position information (X, Y, Z) included in the received terminal information.

  Next, the shooting object determination unit 1106 calculates a three-dimensional angle that becomes an invisible region using the direction information (θA, θB) and the viewing angle (θa, θb) included in the terminal information. The shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires a two-dimensional angle “(θA− (θa / 2)) <= visible region <= (θA + (θa / 2))” that becomes a visible region. Then, the angle “(θB− (θb / 2)) <= visible region <= (θB + (θb / 2)))” which becomes the visible region is acquired. Then, the area that is not the visible area is accumulated as an invisible area.

Then, the shooting object determination unit 1106 sorts the object information in the object information storage unit 1101 in the order of objects closer to the game terminal device 12 using the acquired position information (X, Y, Z). The sort process is performed by the process described with reference to FIG. Here, using (X, Y) of the position information (X, Y, Z) and the position information of each object (for example, (x _a , y _a )), the game terminal device 12 and Calculate the distance to each object and sort using the distance as a key. As a result of the sorting process, the shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires an object temporary management table as shown in FIG. Each record of the object temporary management table has an object identifier and a distance. The distance is a distance between a point indicated by the position information (X, Y, Z) (however, Z may not be used) and a point indicated by the position information of the object.

  Next, the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines whether or not it is a shooting object from a higher-order record in the object temporary management table.

That is, the shooting object determination unit 1106 reads the object identifier “1” of the first record in the temporary object management table. Then, the object information management table is searched using the object identifier “1” as a key, and region information “(x ₁ , y ₁ , z ₁ ) (x ₂ , y ₂ , z) paired with the object identifier“ 1 ”is searched. ₂ ) (x ₃ , y ₃ , z ₃ ) (x ₄ , y ₄ , z ₄ ) ”.

Next, the shooting object determination unit 1106 receives the received terminal information (X, Y, Z, θA, θB, θa, θb) and the acquired area information “(x ₁ , y ₁ , z ₁ ) (x ₂ ). , Y ₂ , z ₂ ) (x ₃ , y ₃ , z ₃ ) (x ₄ , y ₄ , z ₄ ) ”is used to determine whether or not the first object is a shooting object.

First, the shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires the _first point (x ₁ , y ₁ , z ₁ ) in the area information of the object to be determined (object with the object identifier “1”).

Next, the shooting object determination unit 1106 calculates an angle (θ11) on the plane between the _first point (x ₁ , y ₁ , z ₁ ) and the position information (X, Y, Z), and the angle ( θ11) is temporarily stored in the buffer. Also, the shooting object determination unit 1106 calculates an angle (θ12) in the height direction between the _first point (x ₁ , y ₁ , z ₁ ) and the position information (X, Y, Z), and calculates the angle ( θ12) is temporarily stored in the buffer. Similarly, the shooting object determination unit 1106 includes each point from the second point to the position information (X, Y, Z) in the area information of the object to be determined (object having the object identifier “1”). Are calculated on the plane (θ12, θ13, θ14), and the angles (θ12, θ13, θ14) are also temporarily stored in the buffer. (Θ11, θ12, θ13, θ14) is stored in the buffer. Further, similarly, the shooting object determination unit 1106 obtains each of the fourth point from the second point in the area information of the object to be determined (object having the object identifier “1”) and position information (X, Y, The angle (θ22, θ23, θ24) in the height direction with respect to Z) is calculated, and the angles (θ22, θ23, θ24) are also temporarily stored in the buffer. (Θ21, θ22, θ23, θ24) is stored in the buffer.

  Next, the shooting object determining unit 1106 determines the minimum angle (for example, (θ11)) and the maximum angle (for example, (θ14)) on the plane from the angles (θ11, θ12, θ13, θ14) temporarily stored in the buffer. And get.

  In addition, the shooting object determination unit 1106 acquires the maximum angle (θ24) in the height direction from the angles (θ21, θ22, θ23, θ24) temporarily stored in the buffer.

  Next, the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines whether or not all of the acquired areas of the minimum angle (θ11) and the maximum angle (θ14) on the plane are already registered areas. Here, it is assumed that the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that the acquired area of the minimum angle (θ11) and the maximum angle (θ14) is a visible area. Then, the shooting object determining unit 1106 determines that the object with the object identifier “1” is a shooting object.

  Here, for example, the shooting object determination unit 1106 may determine that a part of the acquired area of the minimum angle (θ11) and the maximum angle (θ14) on the plane is not an already registered area. It is determined that it is in the visible region. That is, the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that the object with the object identifier “1” is a shooting object. For example, even when the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that all of the acquired areas of the minimum angle (θ11) and the maximum angle (θ14) on the plane are already registered angle areas, When the maximum angle (θ24) in the vertical direction is larger than the registered maximum angle in the height direction, it is determined that the region is the visible region in the region of the minimum angle (θ11) and the maximum angle (θ14) on the plane. That is, the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that the object with the object identifier “1” is a shooting object.

  Next, the shooting object determining unit 1106 sets “θ11 <= invisible region <= θ14” as a new invisible region. That is, the shooting object determination unit 1106, for example, “0 <= invisible area angle <(θA− (θa / 2))” and “(θA + (θa / 2)) <invisible area angle <= 360” and “θ11”. The invisible area angle on the plane obtained by merging <= invisible area <= θ14 ”is registered in the recording medium. If the registered maximum angle in the height direction is smaller than (θ24), the shooting object determination unit 1106 registers the maximum angle (θ24) in the height direction in association with the area on the plane.

  Next, the shooting object determination unit 1106 stores the object identifier “1” of the first object in a storage medium (not shown).

  Next, it is assumed that the shooting object determination unit 1106 determines that there is a visible area from the registered invisible area or visible area.

  The above processing is also performed on the second and subsequent objects in FIG. 16 to determine the shooting object.

  Then, the shooting object determination unit 1106 repeats the above inspection (inspection for determining a shooting object) until it is determined from the registered invisible area or visible area that there is no visible area. Then, it is assumed that the shooting object determination unit 1106 has acquired object identifiers “1”, “3”, and “25” of the shooting object.

  Then, as described in the first specific example, the game content acquisition unit 1107 acquires the game content corresponding to the shooting object identifiers “1” and “3”. And the game information structure part 1109 comprises 1st game information by the process mentioned above using object identifier "1", "3", etc., and accumulate | stores temporarily on a recording medium.

  Next, the server transmission unit 1111 transmits the first game information temporarily stored in the recording medium to the game terminal device 12.

  Next, the receiving unit 125 of the game terminal device 12 receives the first game information in response to the transmission of the terminal information. The first game information includes an object identifier, game content, a program for operating the game content, and display area information on the camera.

  Next, the game control output unit 128 controls the output of information related to the game using the game information received by the receiving unit 125. Since the processing after the shooting object is determined is the same as that in the first specific example, detailed description thereof is omitted.
