WEB page B is created. The WEB page A is a page corresponding to the game apparatus 10A (user A), and is a WEB page dedicated to the user A. The WEB page B is a page corresponding to the game apparatus 10B (user B), and is a WEB page dedicated to the user B. The WEB page dedicated to each user is partially disclosed to other users. For example, the user A can refer to the user B's published page. In addition, each user can customize his / her own dedicated WEB page, and information on the user can be disclosed to other users.

  Each user is not limited to a dedicated WEB page, and may have other virtual areas. For example, when a plurality of game apparatuses 10 are connected to a server and an online game is played on the server, a virtual place (area) for each user may be set in a virtual world constructed on the server. . Each user can customize a virtual place dedicated to the user (for example, a house, a territory, etc.), and information specific to the user is stored in the virtual place. A user may be able to browse other users 'information by accessing other users' locations in addition to their own locations.

  Next, in step S2, local communication is set to ON in game device 10A and game device 10B (a mode in which local communication is possible is set). Each user goes out carrying the game apparatus 10 and passes by, for example, a train or a bus.

  Next, when the distance between the game device 10A and the game device 10B is equal to or less than a predetermined value, local communication is started between the game device 10A and the game device 10B (step S3). When the local communication is started, in step S4, the game apparatus 10B stores data including the identification information A (information for accessing the WEB page A on the server 50) stored in the game apparatus 10A. Get from. The identification information A is information that the game apparatus 10A has and is unique to the game apparatus 10A (user A). In Step S4, game device 10A acquires data including identification information B (information for accessing WEB page B on server 50) stored in game device 10B from game device 10B. The identification information B is information that the game apparatus 10B has and is unique to the game apparatus 10B (user B). Thereby, each identification information is exchanged. In step S4, in addition to the identification information, other information such as a message for another unspecified user created by the user A, image data stored in the game apparatus 10A, or the like may be acquired. Thereafter, when the distance between game device 10A and game device 10B is increased, local communication between game device 10A and game device 10B becomes impossible.

  Next, the user B recognizes in the game apparatus 10B that the game apparatus 10B has acquired the identification information A from the game apparatus 10A. That is, user B recognizes that he has passed an unspecified user (user A). Then, the user B generates data B using the operation unit 11 of the game apparatus 10B (step S5). The data B is data generated in response to an operation by the user B, and may be a message (character string), an image, a character, or the like created by the user B, for example.

  Next, in step S <b> 6, the generated data B is uploaded to the server 50. Specifically, the game apparatus 10 </ b> B connects to, for example, the Internet using the network connection unit 21 and transmits data B to the server 50. The server 50 stores the uploaded data B in the storage device of the own device or another device (step S7). The data B transmitted from the game apparatus 10B and stored in the server 50 is not limited to data created by the user, but may be data such as a photograph stored in the game apparatus 10B, for example.

  Next, in the game device 10A, the user A accesses the server 50 and acquires data B stored in the server 50 (step S8). The user A confirms the acquired data B (for example, a message) on the display unit 12 of the game apparatus 10A, and uploads response data indicating a response to the data to the server 50 (step S9). Server 50 stores the response data transmitted from game device 10A (step S10). Then, the user B (game device 10B) accesses the server 50 and acquires response data from the server 50 (step S11).

  The process flow from step S6 to step S11 as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an overview of communication between the server 50 and the game devices 10A and 10B performed in steps S6 to S11 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the game apparatus 10 </ b> B stores the data B generated by itself in a collection data box 65 </ b> A in the WEB page A provided in the server 50. The collection data box 65 is provided on each WEB page and stores data from other users. Next, the game apparatus 10 </ b> A acquires data B from the collection box 65 </ b> A in the WEB page A on the server 50. Game device 10 </ b> A stores the response data in response data box 66 </ b> B in WEB page B on server 50. The response data box 66 is provided on each WEB page and stores response data from other users. Then, the game apparatus 10B accesses the WEB page B corresponding to the own device, and acquires the response data stored in the response data box 66B.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed on the screen of the game apparatus 10 </ b> A when the user A accesses the collected data box 65 </ b> A in the web page A on the server 50. The collection data box 65 is a storage area for storing (accumulating) the data generated by other users in step S5, and is set in each WEB page. For example, when each user accesses his / her web page on the server 50, an image in which a link for accessing the collection data box 65 is set is displayed. When the image is selected, each user can view the data in the collected data box 65. Each user can see the data in the collection data box 65 of his / her WEB page, but cannot see the data in the collection data box 65 of another user's WEB page.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the collected data box 65A, data B generated by the user B and uploaded to the WEB page A, data C generated by the user C and uploaded to the WEB page A, etc. It is remembered. That is, in the collection data box 65A of the WEB page A, data generated by a plurality of other users who have passed the user A is stored. User A can confirm data (for example, a message) from each user, and can respond to each user. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an image 69 for responding to data from each user is displayed, and the user A selects the image 69. For example, when the user A selects the image 69b, a standard response message is uploaded to the response data box 66B of the WEB page B. When user A selects image 69b, a screen for creating a response message may be displayed, and the response message created by user A may be uploaded to response data box 66B on WEB page B. Then, the user B can confirm the response of the user A to the data B created by the user B by accessing the response data box 66B of the WEB page B on the server 50 from the game apparatus 10B. Note that the user A can also browse the WEB page of each user who transmitted the data. In the collected data box 65A, identification information (URL of the WEB page) corresponding to the game apparatus 10 that has transmitted the data is stored in association with the transmitted data. User A can browse the WEB page of the user who transmitted the data by accessing the server 50 based on the identification information.

  As described above, when user A (game device 10A) and user B (game device 10B) pass each other, local communication is performed (step S3). When the local communication is performed, the game apparatus 10B acquires the identification information A from the game apparatus 10A (step S4). In the game apparatus 10B, data B corresponding to the operation of the user B is generated (step S5), and the generated data B is uploaded to the server 50 (step S6). Next, the user A acquires the data B generated by the user B from the server 50 (step S8), and uploads the response data to the server 50 (step S9). And user B acquires response data from server 50 in game device 10B (Step S11). In this way, user A and user B can communicate with each other through the server 50 after passing each other.

  Note that the user B obtains the identification information A through local communication, and can browse the WEB page A dedicated to the user A to view information related to the user A, and transmits the information to the user A with reference to the information. Data B to be created can be created. Further, the user C different from the user A and the user B can browse the WEB page A based on the identification information A without passing the user A. For example, the server 50 has a search function, and the user C can access the WEB page A of the user A by searching using various information regarding the user A. That is, the WEB page of each user is open to all users, the user who knows the identification information A (URL) of the WEB page A, the user who acquired the identification information A by local communication, and the identification information by search A user who has acquired A and a user who has accidentally input the identification information A by random input and has accessed the server 50 can view the WEB page A. In particular, since the user who has acquired the identification information A through local communication can easily browse the WEB page A, the user can be guided to browse the WEB page A.

  Next, details of the game process executed in the game device 10A, the game device 10B, and the server 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a main flowchart showing a flow of main processing executed in the game apparatus 10B. When the power of the game apparatus 10B is turned on, the CPU 31 of the game apparatus 10B executes a startup program stored in a boot ROM (not shown), whereby each unit such as the main memory 32 is initialized. Then, the game program stored in the external storage medium 40 is read into the main memory 32, and the CPU 31 starts executing the game program. The process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10 is performed after the above process is completed.

  In addition, the process of each step in the flowchart shown in FIGS. 10-13 is only an example, and if the same result is obtained, you may replace the process order of each step. In the present embodiment, the processing of each step in the flowchart is described as being executed by the CPU 31, but the processing of some steps in the flowchart may be executed by a processor or a dedicated circuit other than the CPU 31. Good.

  First, in step S101, the game device 10B executes an initial process. The initial process is executed when the identification information B is not stored in the game apparatus 10B. For example, the initial process is performed when the execution of the game program 100 is first started by the user B in the game apparatus 10B. For example, in the initial process, the game apparatus 10B connects to the server 50 via the Internet, and transmits a command for causing the server 50 to create a WEB page B. Then, the game apparatus 10 </ b> B acquires the identification information B generated when the web page B is created in the server 50 from the server 50. When the identification information B is acquired, the identification information B is stored in the main memory 32 of the game apparatus 10B, or stored in the external storage medium 40 or other non-volatile internal storage medium (not shown). . In the initial process, when the WEB page B is created on the server 50, the WEB page B is uniquely customized according to the operation of the user B. For example, the layout on the WEB page may be changed by the user B, or information regarding the user B may be posted on the WEB page. The game device 10B executes the process of step S102 after the process of step S101.

  In step S102, the game apparatus 10B sets the game apparatus 10B to the local communication mode in accordance with the operation of the user B. For example, when the user B presses a predetermined operation button in the operation unit 11, the game apparatus 10B is set to the local communication mode. In the local communication mode, the game apparatus 10 </ b> B can perform local communication with other game apparatuses 10. Next, the game device 10B executes the process of step S103.

  In step S103, the game device 10B executes local communication processing. In the local communication process, local communication (passing communication) is performed with another game apparatus 10 until the local communication mode is canceled. Hereinafter, the details of the local communication processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a detailed flow of the local communication process (step S103) shown in FIG.

  In step S111, game device 10B searches for a communication partner. Specifically, the CPU 31 accesses the local communication unit 20 and searches for another game apparatus 10 that can receive a radio wave from another device and perform local communication. Next, the game device 10B performs the process of step S112.

  In step S112, game device 10B determines whether or not a communication partner exists in the vicinity of the own device. If there is another game device 10 that is a communication partner in the vicinity of the own device, the game device 10B next executes the process of step S113. On the other hand, when there is no communication partner in the vicinity of the own device, the game device 10B next executes the process of step S114.

  In step S105, the game device 10B creates data B corresponding to the operation. Here, the user B uses the operation unit 11 of the game apparatus 10B to generate data B corresponding to the operation. The generated data B may be data indicating a text message, for example, or may be a character created by the user B. Next, the game device 10B performs the process of step S106.

  In step S106, the game device 10B determines whether or not to transmit the generated data B. For example, the game device 10B determines whether or not a predetermined operation for transmitting the data B to the game device 10A has been performed by the user B. If the determination result is affirmative, the game device 10B next executes the process of step S107. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the game device 10B next executes the process of step S108.

  In step S <b> 107, the game device 10 </ b> B transmits the generated data B to the server 50. Specifically, game device 10B transmits a storage request for data B to server 50 based on identification information A acquired from game device 10A. More specifically, the game apparatus 10 </ b> B transmits identification information A that is transmission destination information, identification information B that is transmission source information, and data B to the server 50. That is, the game apparatus 10B accesses the WEB page A on the server 50 based on the identification information A, and stores the data B in the collected data box 65A in the WEB page A. Next, the game device 10B performs the process of step S108.

  In step S108, the game device 10B determines whether or not to obtain response data. Specifically, the game device 10 </ b> B determines that response data is acquired when a predetermined operation is performed by the user B. If the determination result is affirmative, the game device 10B next executes the process of step S109. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the game device 10B ends the main process shown in FIG.

  In step S109, the game device 10B accesses the server 50 and obtains response data indicating a response by the user A. Specifically, game device 10 </ b> B transmits a response data acquisition request to server 50 based on identification information B. When the response data transmitted by the user A exists in the WEB page B, the server 50 transmits the response data stored in the response data box 66B in the WEB page B to the game apparatus 10B in response to the acquisition request. To do. For example, when the user B accesses the response data box 66B of the WEB page B on the server 50, responses from the user A and other users are displayed on the screen of the game apparatus 10B. In this way, the game device 10B acquires a response from the user A. Thus, the main process shown in FIG. 10 ends.

  Next, details of the game process executed in the game apparatus 10A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed in game device 10A. In the following, processes similar to those in FIG. 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. Note that the above-described process shown in FIG. 10 can also be executed in the game apparatus 10A, and the process shown in FIG. 12 can also be executed in the game apparatus 10B.

  First, in step S101, initial processing is performed in the same manner as described above, the identification information A is stored in the game apparatus 10A, and the WEB page A is created on the server 50. After the subsequent processes of step S102 and step S103 are performed, the game device 10B executes the process of step S201.

  In step S <b> 201, the game device 10 </ b> A determines whether to connect to the server 50. Specifically, the game device 10A determines whether or not a predetermined operation for accessing the collection data box 65A of the WEB page A has been performed by the user A. For example, the game device 10 </ b> A may display an image for allowing the user to select whether or not to refer to the collection data box 65 </ b> A of the WEB page A on the screen. If the determination result is affirmative, the game device 10A next executes a process of step S202. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the game device 10A ends the process shown in FIG.

  In step S <b> 202, the game device 10 </ b> A connects to the server 50. Specifically, game device 10A accesses WEB page A on server 50 based on identification information A stored in advance in game device 10A. Next, the game device 10A executes the process of step S203.

  In step S <b> 203, the game device 10 </ b> A acquires data B from the server 50. Specifically, the game device 10 </ b> A accesses the collected data box 65 </ b> A in the WEB page A on the server 50. The collected data box 65A stores (in some cases, a plurality of) data generated by other users, and the user A displays the contents of each data (for example, messages and images) on the screen of the game apparatus 10A. Can be confirmed. When the data B generated by the user B is selected by the user A, the game apparatus 10 </ b> A transmits an acquisition request for the data B to the server 50 and acquires (downloads) the data B from the server 50. Next, the game device 10A executes the process of step S204.

  In step S <b> 204, the game device 10 </ b> A transmits response data to the server 50. Specifically, the game device 10 </ b> A specifies a transmission destination (identification information B) and transmits response data to the server 50. For example, when a predetermined operation (for example, an operation for selecting the image 69b shown in FIG. 6) is performed by the user A and the response data is generated, the game device 10A sends a request for storing the response data to the server 50. Send. The response data storage request includes response data and identification information B. Game device 10A accesses server 50 based on identification information B, and transmits response data to response data box 66B on WEB page B. For example, in FIG. 6, a link to WEB page B may be set in an image 69b displayed below data B, and response data is transmitted to WEB page B when the image 69b is selected. Also good. In this way, the response data is transmitted in the WEB page B on the server 50. The user B can refer to the response of the user A by accessing the response data box 66B of his WEB page B. Note that the response data box 66B can be accessed only by the user B (game device 10B) and cannot be accessed by other users. Above, the process shown in FIG. 12 is complete | finished.

  Next, details of processing executed in the server 50 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed in the server 50. The process shown in FIG. 13 is performed by the CPU of the server 50 executing the server program 130. Note that the processes in steps S301 to S309 shown in FIG. 13 are repeated at predetermined time intervals.

  First, in step S301, the server 50 creates a WEB page in response to a request from the game apparatus 10. As described above, in the initial process of step S <b> 101, the game apparatus 10 connects to the server 50 and creates a WEB page corresponding to the game apparatus 10 on the server 50. For example, when there is a command for creating a WEB page from the game apparatus 10A, the server 50 generates unique identification information A corresponding to the game apparatus 10A. Each game device 10 has unique information (unique information stored in the ROM of the game device or information unique to the user). In the above command to the server 50, each game device 10 Send the unique information. For example, the game apparatus 10 </ b> A transmits unique information of the game apparatus 10 </ b> A to the server 50 in the initial process. Server 50 generates identification information A based on the unique information received from game device 10A. The identification information A is information corresponding to the unique information received from the game apparatus 10A on a one-to-one basis. In addition, the server 50 generates the identification information A and creates a WEB page A corresponding to the game apparatus 10A. Specifically, the server 50 creates a storage area 131 of the WEB page A, and generates identification information A, a collection data box 65A, and a response data box 66B in the storage area. Further, the server 50 acquires predetermined information (for example, a user name and user attribute information) from the game apparatus 10A, creates content data (for example, an HTML file) including the predetermined information, and stores the WEB page A. Store in area 131. Thereby, the WEB page A (WEB page only for the user A) corresponding to the game apparatus 10A is created. In addition, the server 50 transmits the generated identification information A to the game apparatus 10A. Further, the server 50 creates the WEB page B in response to a command for creating the WEB page B from the game apparatus 10B. Note that a WEB page corresponding to each game apparatus 10 on a one-to-one basis may be created on the server 50. When one game apparatus 10 is shared by a plurality of users, a WEB page is created for each user. May be. Next, the server 50 executes the process of step S302.

  In step S302, the server 50 determines whether or not the data B is transmitted from the game apparatus 10B. Here, it is determined whether or not there is a storage request for data B from game device 10B. When the determination result is affirmative (that is, when the process of step S107 of FIG. 10 is performed in the game device 10B), the server 50 next executes the process of step S303. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the server 50 next executes the process of step S304.

  In step S303, server 50 stores data B from game device 10B. Specifically, the server 50 associates the data B transmitted by the game apparatus 10B with the transmission destination information (identification information A) transmitted by the game apparatus 10B, and stores the data in the collection data box 65A on the WEB page A. Store B.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a storage destination of data transmitted to the server 50 and stored data.

As described above, the game device 10 </ b> B transmits the transmission destination information (identification information A), the transmission source information (identification information B), and the data B to the server 50 in the process of step S <b> 107. When storing the data B, the server 50 stores the data transmission source information and the data in association with each other. Further, the data C transmitted from the user C to the user A is stored in the collected data box 65A together with the identification information C corresponding to the game apparatus 10C.

  Returning to FIG. 13, next, the server 50 executes the process of step S304. In step S304, the server 50 determines whether or not there is a data B acquisition request from the game apparatus 10A. The process of step S304 is a process corresponding to step S203 of the game apparatus 10A. Here, the server 50 can transmit the data stored in the collection data box 65 of each WEB page only to the game apparatus 10 corresponding to each WEB page. For example, an acquisition request for data B or data C stored in the collected data box 65A is accepted only from the game apparatus 10A. That is, the data stored in the collection data box 65A of the WEB page A can be acquired only from the game apparatus 10A (user A). The collection data box 65 of each WEB page may be accessible not only from the game apparatus 10 corresponding to each WEB page but also from other game apparatuses 10. That is, a third party other than himself / herself may be able to see and acquire data sent from another person to himself / herself. If the determination result is affirmative, the server 50 next executes the process of step S305. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the server 50 next executes the process of step S306.

  In step S305, server 50 transmits data B to game device 10A. Specifically, the data B is acquired from the collected data box 65A of the WEB page A, and the data B is transmitted to the game apparatus 10A. Next, the server 50 executes the process of step S306.

  In step S306, the server 50 determines whether or not there is a response data storage request from the game apparatus 10A. The process of step S306 is a process corresponding to step S204 of game device 10A. If the determination result is affirmative, the server 50 next executes a process of step S307. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the server 50 next executes the process of step S308.

  In step S307, the server 50 stores the response data. Specifically, the server 50 stores the identification information A corresponding to the game apparatus 10A that has requested to store the response data, and the response data in the response data box 66B of the WEB page B that is the storage destination. That is, the response by the user A is stored in the response data box 66B of the WEB page B that the user B has. Next, the server 50 executes the process of step S308.

  In step S308, the server 50 determines whether or not there is a response data acquisition request from the game apparatus 10B. The process of step S308 is a process corresponding to step S109 of game device 10B described above. Specifically, the server 50 determines whether or not the game apparatus 10B has accessed the response data box 66B of the WEB page B. Here, the server 50 can transmit the response data stored in the response data box 66 of each WEB page only to the game apparatus 10 (user) corresponding to each WEB page. That is, only the user B (game device 10B) can access the response data box 66B of the WEB page B. Thereby, the user B can see the response from the user A, but the other users cannot see it. Note that the user A who has transmitted the response and the user C who is a third party may be able to access the response data box 66B of the WEB page B. If the determination result is affirmative, the server 50 next executes the process of step S309. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the server 50 ends the process shown in FIG.

  In step S309, the server 50 transmits the response data stored in the response data box 66B to the game apparatus 10B. Thus, the server 50 ends the process shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, for example, when the user A and the user B pass each other, local communication is performed, and the identification information A is transmitted from the game device 10A to the game device 10B. The game apparatus 10 </ b> B connects to the server 50 based on the identification information A, and stores the data B created by itself in the collection data box 65 </ b> A of the WEB page A on the server 50. Then, the game apparatus 10 </ b> A connects to the server 50 and acquires data B. Further, the response data is transmitted from the game apparatus 10A to the response data box 66B of the WEB page B on the server 50, and the game apparatus 10B can acquire the response data by connecting to the server 50. In this way, the user A and the user B that have passed each other (data exchange) can communicate by communication via the server 50 thereafter.

  For example, when communication is performed between the user A and the user B passing each other, the exchange of e-mail addresses is automatically performed, for example, by performing the local communication between the game apparatus 10A and the game apparatus 10B. Can be considered. For example, a mail address is transmitted from game device 10B to game device 10A, and user A transmits a message to user B by specifying the received mail address. Specifically, the message from the user A is transmitted to the mail server, and the mail server distributes the received message to the user B. However, the e-mail address is personal information, and it is a safety problem that personal information is exchanged with an unspecified partner. In the above embodiment, since identification information (URL) for identifying a WEB page corresponding to each user provided on the server 50 is exchanged, an individual is not specified, and there is no such problem. Accordingly, each user can communicate with each other with peace of mind.

  In this embodiment, each user who passes each other communicates on a server. For example, messages from the user B to the user A and predetermined data are stored in the server 50. Thereby, it is possible to communicate with a partner who has passed with peace of mind as compared to a case where a message or data is directly transmitted to or received from a partner such as e-mail. In addition, since data from each user is stored in the server 50, each user can view the data whenever he / she wants to see data from a different partner. In addition, the user who receives the message or data can respond (reply) to the other party, and can perform closer communication.

  In this embodiment, a dedicated WEB page is set for each user, and each user can customize his / her own WEB page independently. For this reason, for example, when user A and user B pass each other, it can be a motivation to communicate. That is, whether or not the user A's hobbies / preference matches his / her hobbies / preferences by acquiring the user A's identification information A and browsing the WEB page corresponding to the identification information A, etc. Judgment can be made. Therefore, user B communicates with user A (user B transmits a message or predetermined data to user A's WEB page A). Furthermore, the user A can acquire the information of the user B by referring to the data from the user B and browsing the WEB page of the user B, thereby further developing the communication.

  In the above-described embodiment, the server stores unique information related to each user, and each user can browse the information of other users. In order to access the information of each user, identification information corresponding to each user (each game device 10) is required. By passing each user, identification information of other users can be acquired, and various information related to other users can be acquired based on the identification information. Then, based on the acquired information, a communication partner can be selected and predetermined data can be transmitted to the selected communication partner via the server.

  In the present embodiment, since the collected data box 65 is not disclosed to other users, a third party cannot see messages and data from other users. This makes it possible to deepen communication with a passing partner. In other words, since it is made private to the third party, information that the third party does not want to see can be exchanged with a passing partner, and by exchanging such information, deep communication can be developed. be able to.

  In addition, the said embodiment is an example which implements this invention, For example, the structure demonstrated below may be sufficient in other embodiment.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the collection data box 65 and the response data box 66 can be referred to only by the user and are not disclosed to other users. However, in other embodiments, they are disclosed to other users. May be. Moreover, it may be disclosed only to a specific user including the principal (another user designated by the principal).

  In the above embodiment, the server 50 is a WEB server, and a WEB page for each user is created on the server. In another embodiment, the server 50 is not limited to a WEB server, and an area (information posting area) for posting user-specific information for communication between a plurality of game apparatuses 10 as described above is provided. Anything is acceptable. That is, when data in another arbitrary format (which may be text or binary) is referred to by the game apparatus 10 (or other apparatus), a predetermined number of characters, images, sounds, etc. Any content may be provided as long as the content is provided to be viewable to the user. For example, predetermined content may be displayed on the game device 10 by the game device 10 acquiring unique data stored on the server and interpreting the data with a unique application.

  The “information posting area” here is a virtual area provided on the server, and predetermined data on the server is read by a predetermined application of the game apparatus 10 so that contents such as documents and images are stored. It can be viewed by the user. The information posting area includes various contents such as documents, images, and audio that can be viewed by the user on the server. By posting predetermined information in the information posting area, each user can browse the information. Further, the information posting area may include link information for accessing other information. The information posting area corresponding to the user (game device 10) includes user-specific information such as user information and user characters. The information posting area corresponding to the user includes link information for accessing the data storage area dedicated to the user, such as the collected data box described above. In this way, each user can access information related to the user by referring to the information posting area (WEB page as an example) corresponding to the user. Each information posting area has identification information (URL) for accessing the information posting area. For example, the user A can access the information posting area of the user B based on the identification information of the information posting area of the user B. When the user A accesses the information posting area of the user B, information regarding the user B can be browsed.

  In the above embodiment, one game device 10 is used by one user. In another embodiment, one game apparatus 10 may be used by a plurality of users, and one user may use a plurality of game apparatuses 10. In this case, the WEB page is created for each user. For example, when the user A uses the game apparatus 10A, the user A inputs a unique user ID. The game apparatus 10 </ b> A stores a user ID, and a WEB page corresponding to the user ID is created on the server 50. On the other hand, when the user B also uses the game apparatus 10 </ b> A, his / her user ID is input, and a WEB page corresponding to the user ID is created on the server 50. For example, when the user A is logged in (used) in the game apparatus 10A and passes by another user, the identification information is acquired from the other user (other game apparatus 10). To communicate with other users. Furthermore, the user A can communicate with a different partner using the game apparatus 10B by logging in to the other game apparatus 10B with his / her user ID.

  In the above embodiment, a plurality of WEB pages are created on the server 50. In other embodiments, each WEB page may not be provided on one server. That is, the function of the server 50 described above may be realized by a plurality of servers. For example, the WEB page A corresponding to the user A may be created on a certain server, and the WEB page B corresponding to the user B may be created on another server. For example, the collection data box 65 in the WEB page may be provided on another server.

  In the above embodiment, the collection data box 65 and the response data box 66 are provided on the WEB page corresponding to each user. For example, when data is stored in the collection data box 65A of the WEB page A by the user B, the response data indicating a response to the user B is stored in the response data box 66B of the WEB page B. In other embodiments, the response may not be stored on the partner (user B) WEB page. For example, the response to the other party (user B) may be stored in the WEB page of the user (user A). Even in this case, user B can view user A's response by referring to user A's WEB page. In this case, the WEB page B of the user B does not need to be provided on the server 50 in advance. If the WEB page A of the user A is provided, the user A and the user B communicate on the WEB page A. It can be performed.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, the process is performed between the plurality of game apparatuses 10 and the server 50. Also in the second embodiment, a WEB page corresponding to each game device 10 is created on the server 50 as in the first embodiment. For example, when game device 10A and game device 10B pass each other, game device 10A and game device 10B perform local communication. In the second embodiment, when the game device 10A and the game device 10B pass each other, the request content is transmitted from the game device 10A (user A) to the game device 10B (user B).

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an outline of processing of the second embodiment performed in a game system including the game device 10 </ b> A, the game device 10 </ b> B, and the server 50. In the following, processes similar to those in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 15, first, in the game apparatus 10 </ b> A, a request content is set by the user A (step S <b> 20). Here, the user A inputs the request contents to other unspecified users on the screen of the game apparatus 10A. The request content may be any content as long as the user A wants to request (request) from another user.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of request contents set by the user A. As illustrated in FIG. 16, for example, the user A sets request contents in order to collect opinions from other unspecified users regarding the plurality of characters 71 </ b> A, 72 </ b> A, and the like created by the user A. The user A inputs, for example, a request content “Please select your favorite design” in the request content display area 73 using the operation unit 11. Furthermore, the user A sets the character 71A and the character 72A to be transmitted to another user (other game apparatus 10) when setting the request content. For example, a list of characters is displayed on the screen, and the user A sets a character to be transmitted to another unspecified game device 10 together with the request content by selecting a transmission target.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating another example of the request content set by the user A. As shown in FIG. 17, for example, the user A sets request contents so that other users can answer a questionnaire. For example, the contents of the questionnaire (contents of the question) may be attached together with a message indicating that the questionnaire is desired to be answered. Here, as shown in FIG. 16, a predetermined character may or may not be attached together with the request content. For example, when a predetermined character is attached together with the request content, a questionnaire request regarding the attached character may be set as the request content.

  Thus, in step S20, arbitrary request contents are input by the user A and stored in the game apparatus 10A.

  Next, in step S2, local communication is set to ON in game device 10A and game device 10B. Then, when the game device 10A and the game device 10B are within a predetermined distance, local communication is started (step S3).

  When the local communication is started, the game device 10B acquires the request content from the game device 10A (step S21). Here, the game apparatus 10 </ b> B may acquire a predetermined character together with the request content as shown in FIG. 16. In this way, the content of the request and the character that is the target of the content of the request are acquired in the game device 10B. Note that the game device 10B also acquires information (identification information A) regarding the transmission source.

  Next, in the game apparatus 10B, input according to the request content acquired from the game apparatus 10A is performed, and data B corresponding to the input is generated (step S5). For example, when the user B is requested to select a character as shown in FIG. 16, the user B selects a character with a favorite design from a plurality of characters displayed on the screen of the game apparatus 10B, and the user B Data B corresponding to the selection by B is generated. Alternatively, when a request as illustrated in FIG. 17 is made, the user B inputs an answer corresponding to the request content using the operation unit 11, and data B corresponding to the input is generated.

  Next, the game device 10B uploads the generated data B to the server 50 (step S6), and the server 50 stores the data B (step S7).

  Next, the game device 10A acquires data B from the server 50 (step S8). Then, the game device 10A uploads the response data to the server 50 (step S9), and the game device 10B acquires the response data (step S11).

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the user A sets a request content in the game device 10A (step S20), and the request content is transmitted from the game device 10A to the game device 10B (step S21). Here, the game apparatus 10 </ b> B acquires an object (characters 71 </ b> A, 72 </ b> A, etc.) of the request content together with the request content. In the game apparatus 10B, the user B performs input according to the acquired request content to generate data B (step S5), and the data B is acquired by the user A via the server 50 (step S8). ). In this way, communication is performed between the user A and the user B.

(Details of game processing of the second embodiment)
Next, the details of the game processing of the second embodiment executed in this game system will be described. Hereinafter, a case where a predetermined request is made from game device 10A to game device 10B will be described. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing various data stored in the game apparatus 10A.

  As shown in FIG. 18, request data 110 is included in the main memory 32 of the game apparatus 10 </ b> A. The request data 110 is data indicating request contents set in the game apparatus 10A. The request data 110 is transmitted to the game apparatus 10B and stored in the main memory 32 of the game apparatus 10B. When a request as shown in FIG. 16 is made, the request data 110 may include data of a plurality of characters.

  The other data stored in the main memory 32 of the game apparatus 10A, the data stored in the game apparatus 10B, and the data stored in the server 50 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore will be described. Is omitted.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed in the game device 10A in the second embodiment. In FIG. 19, the same processes as those in FIG. 12 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. Further, the processing executed in the game device 10B is the same as that in the first embodiment (see FIG. 10), and thus the description thereof is omitted. Moreover, since the process performed in the server 50 is the same as that of the first embodiment (FIG. 13), description thereof is omitted.

  First, in step S101, initial processing is performed as described above. Next, game device 10A executes the process of step S210.

  In step S210, game device 10A sets the request content. Specifically, the game device 10 </ b> A creates the request data 110 in response to an input by the user A. The request data 110 created here is data indicating the content of a request to an unspecified other user input by the user A. For example, the request data 110 includes a message for requesting another user to select a character as shown in FIG. Further, the request data 110 includes data of a plurality of characters. Then, the game apparatus 10 </ b> A stores the identification information A possessed by itself and request data indicating the set request content in the main memory 32. Next, the game device 10A executes the processes of step S102 and step S103.

  In the local communication process in step S103, the game apparatus 10A transmits the request data 110 together with the identification information A to the game apparatus 10B. Thereby, game device 10B acquires identification information A and request data 110 from game device 10A. In the game device 10B, the request content indicated by the request data 110 is displayed by performing the process of step S104 of FIG.

  Next, the game device 10 </ b> A performs steps S <b> 201 to S <b> 204 and ends the process shown in FIG. 19.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the request data 110 indicating the request by the user is generated in the game device 10A. When the user A and the user B pass each other, local communication is performed, and the identification information A and the request data 110 are transmitted from the game apparatus 10A to the game apparatus 10B. In game device 10B, an operation corresponding to the request data is performed, and data B is generated. The game apparatus 10 </ b> B connects to the server 50 based on the identification information A, and stores the data B generated by itself in the collection data box 65 </ b> A of the WEB page A on the server 50. Then, the game apparatus 10 </ b> A connects to the server 50 and acquires data B. Further, the response data is transmitted from the game apparatus 10A to the response data box 66B of the WEB page B on the server 50, and the game apparatus 10B acquires the response data by connecting to the server 50. In this way, the user A and the user B passing each other can communicate via the server 50.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, communication is performed between the user A and the user B when the user A and the user B pass each other. For example, when the user A and the user B pass each other, the request content set by the user A is transmitted to the user B together with the object of the request content. For example, when the purpose is to communicate with an unspecified passing partner, for example, a message (character string) may be simply transmitted from the user A to the user B. In this case, only a message is unilaterally transmitted from the user A to the user B, and the user B may only receive the message. For this reason, it is difficult to develop into two-way communication.

  On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the request content set by the user is transmitted to another unspecified user. In this case, the request content (request for selecting a character) and the target (character) of the request content are also transmitted to another unspecified user. Since the contents of the request are transmitted from the user to another unspecified user, it is easier to develop bi-directional communication than when a message is simply transmitted to an unspecified user. Note that the target of the request content is not limited to the user character, and may be anything. For example, the request content may be any other content such as an image or an item. Since the request details regarding these arbitrary contents are set and transmitted to other users, motivation for communication can be given to unspecified other users.

  Also in the second embodiment, communication is performed on the server 50 as in the first embodiment. For this reason, there exists an effect as mentioned above and it can communicate safely and smoothly with the other party.

  In the second embodiment, since a desired request is transmitted to an unspecified user who passes by, various answers to the request can be obtained from the unspecified user.

  In the second embodiment, the request content set by the user A is transmitted to an unspecified user B. The user B views the request content and generates data B indicating an answer to the request content. In this case, the user B can refer to the WEB page A of the user A on the server based on the identification information A acquired from the game apparatus 10A. Since the user B can refer to the WEB page A of the user A who has passed, the user B answers the request content from the user A as compared with the case where the request content is simply acquired from the user A (data B Motivation to create and send to user A). In other words, it is difficult to develop the subsequent communication simply by acquiring the request content from a different partner. However, in the present embodiment, since the user B can refer to the WEB page A created by the user A, the user B can see various information about the user A, and the information for communicating with the user A can be displayed. Can be obtained.

  In the second embodiment, the response to the request content (the data B) may not be stored in the server. For example, the distribution server may distribute the response to the request content from the game device 10B to the game device 10A. For example, each game device can communicate with a distribution server wirelessly. In the distribution server, identification information corresponding to each game device is stored in advance. When the user A and the user B pass each other, the identification information A and the request content are transmitted from the game device 10A to the game device 10B by local communication. Based on the identification information A, the game device 10B that acquired the identification information A transmits an answer to the request content to the distribution server. The distribution server transfers the received answer to the game device 10A based on the identification information A, and the game device 10A acquires the transferred answer. Furthermore, the game device 10A may transmit a response to the answer (the response data) to the game device 10B via the distribution server. This allows you to communicate with each other after passing each other.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described. First, the game performed in the game device 10 of the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed on the display unit 12 when the game of the third embodiment is executed on the game apparatus 10.

  The game of this embodiment is a game in which a user serves as a shop owner of clothes and serves customers. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, when a customer character (a character controlled by the game device 10) 60 visits a shop, the user of the game device 10 serves the customer character 60. Specifically, in response to a request from the customer character 60, the user selects an item suitable for the customer character 60 from a plurality of items (66a, 66b, etc.) displayed in the item display area 65, and the customer character 60 Coordinate 60. The coordinated customer character 60 determines purchase of the item according to the result.

  Each game device 10 stores each user's character. Character A operated by user A is stored in game device 10A, character B operated by user B is stored in game device 10B, and character C operated by user C is stored in game device 10C. For example, the user A operates the character A to serve the customer character 60 and operates his / her shop in the game apparatus 10A.

  In addition, the user of each game apparatus 10 has a virtual shop on the server 50. Specifically, user A is shop A, user B is shop B, and user C is the owner of shop C. Specifically, the virtual shop on the server 50 is a WEB page. Each user can customize his own virtual shop on the server 50. Each virtual shop includes various information about each user (characters of each user, user name, other user's favorite information, etc.). Each user can access not only their own virtual shop but also other people's virtual shops. For example, user A operates his own shop A and customizes the products, layout, etc. of shop A. Other users can visit the shop A, browse information related to the user A, and purchase items sold in the shop A.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the game device 10 </ b> B accesses the shop A of the user A on the server 50. As shown in FIG. 21, when the user B of the game apparatus 10B accesses the server 50 and accesses the shop A of the user A, the display unit 12 of the game apparatus 10B has, for example, a plurality of items 62 unique to the user A. Is displayed. The user B can access the shop A of the user A and browse or purchase the product (item 62) of the shop A. In addition, a page for introducing the character A of the user A is provided in the shop A, and the character A is displayed or information unique to the character A is displayed.

  In the third embodiment, processing is performed between the plurality of game apparatuses 10 and the server 50 as in the first and second embodiments. Also in the third embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, local communication is performed between the game apparatuses 10 existing within a predetermined distance. In the third embodiment, for example, when the game device 10A and the game device 10B pass each other, the character A is transmitted from the game device 10A to the game device 10B, and the character A is coordinated in the game device 10B.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an outline of the game process of the third embodiment performed in a game system including the game apparatus 10A, the game apparatus 10B, and the server 50. Hereinafter, an overview of the game process of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 22, the same processes as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 22, first, each shop (WEB page) is created in the server 50 (step S30). Specifically, an instruction for creating a shop is transmitted from each game device 10 to the server 50, and the server 50 creates a shop.

  Next, coordination request setting is performed in the game apparatus 10A (step S31). For example, the user A starts a game in his game device 10A, and sets a request for having the character A coordinated by an unspecified user. The character A is a character stored in the game apparatus 10A and is a character corresponding to the user A.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed on the screen of the game apparatus 10 </ b> A when coordination request setting is performed. In FIG. 23, the character A operated by the user A in the game apparatus 10A is displayed. In addition, an image 67 for setting a request for coordination is displayed on the screen. For example, when the user A selects the image 67, options (request contents) for selecting how the character A wants to be coordinated are displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, an image written as “pretty” and an image written as “adult” are displayed. For example, when the user A selects an image written as “cute”, a request for coordination is set together with the content of the request (request to coordinate “cute”).

  Next, when the local communication is set to ON in the game device 10A and the game device 10B (step S2), and the distance between the game device 10A and the game device 10B becomes a predetermined value or less, the game device 10A and the game device 10B Local communication is started (step S3).

  When the local communication is started, in step S32, the game device 10B stores the data of the character A, the data indicating the contents of the request, and information for accessing the shop A (shop A information. For example, the URL of the shop A) is acquired from the game apparatus 10A. In Step S32, game device 10A acquires information (shop B information, for example, URL of shop B) for accessing shop B from game device 10B. Thereby, each data is exchanged.

(Details of game processing of the third embodiment)
Next, details of the game process executed in this game system will be described. Below, the case where the character A acquired from 10 A of game devices is coordinated in the game device 10B is demonstrated. First, various data used in the game process will be described. FIG. 27 is a diagram showing various data stored in the game apparatus 10B. As shown in FIG. 27, the acquisition data 111 acquired by the game apparatus 10B from the game apparatus 10A includes identification information A (shop A information) and request data. The request data includes character A data and request content data. In the main memory 32, character A1 data 114 is stored. The main memory 32 stores identification information B (shop B information) and acquired data 112 acquired from another game apparatus 10.

  The character A data included in the request data is data indicating the character A acquired from the game apparatus 10A by local communication. The request content data included in the request data is data indicating the request content set by the user A (for example, the request content that is coordinated “cutely”).

  The character A1 data 114 is data of the character A coordinated by the user B. Specifically, it is data obtained by coordinating the character A acquired from the game apparatus 10A, and is data in which an item is added to the character A data.

  Next, details of the game process executed in the game apparatus 10A and the game apparatus 10B will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 28 is a main flowchart showing a flow of main processing executed in the game device 10B of the third embodiment. In FIG. 28, processes similar to those in FIG. 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  First, in step S101, the game device 10B executes an initial process. In the initial process, a command for creating shop B is transmitted to the server 50. Shop B is created in server 50 in response to the command, and shop B information for accessing shop B is transmitted to game device 10B. The shop B information is stored in storage means (main memory 32, nonvolatile memory, etc.) of the game apparatus 10B. Specifically, in the initial process, information about the character B and the user B is transmitted from the game apparatus 10B to the server 50, and the character B and the information are registered in the shop B. Shop B is uniquely customized according to user B's operation.

  Game device 10B sets the local communication mode in subsequent step S102. Next, in the local communication process of step S103, the game device 10B acquires the character A and shop A information from the game device 10A. The local communication process is terminated in response to a user operation.

  Next, when the local communication is terminated according to the user's operation and the game is resumed, in step S120, the game device 10B displays the character obtained by resuming the game. For example, a list of shop information associated with the acquired character and the character is displayed on the display unit 12. For example, when the user selects the shop A information acquired, the game device 10B can access the shop A and acquire the information of the shop A. When user B selects character A among the acquired characters, an image for coordinating character A is displayed.

  Next, game device 10B performs a character coordination process in step S121. In the character coordination process, the character A received from the game apparatus 10A in step S103 is coordinated according to the operation of the user B. The details of the character coordination process will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a detailed flow of the character coordination process (step S121) shown in FIG.

  In step S131, the game device 10B determines whether there is a request for coordination from another game device 10. Specifically, the game device 10 </ b> B determines whether the request data is included in the acquired data from the other game device 10 stored in the main memory 32. If the determination result is negative, the game device 10B ends the character coordination process. On the other hand, if the determination result is affirmative, the game device 10B executes the process of step S132. In the following, it is assumed that request data is included in the acquired data 111 from the game apparatus 10A.

  In step S132, the game device 10B acquires operation data. Specifically, the CPU 31 acquires operation data corresponding to the operation performed on the operation unit 11 of the game apparatus 10 </ b> B from the operation unit 11. Next, the game device 10B performs the process of step S133.

  In step S133, game device 10B coordinates (processes) character A based on the operation data acquired in step S132. Specifically, when a predetermined item stored in the game apparatus 10B is selected by the user B, the selected item is attached to the character A (see FIG. 24). The coordinated character A is stored in the main memory 32 as character A1 data 114. Further, the game apparatus 10B performs display processing. By performing the display process, an image including the coordinated character A is displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 of the game apparatus 10B. As shown in FIG. 24, an image 68 indicating the request content set by the user A is displayed on the screen of the game apparatus 10B. The user B coordinates the character A according to the request content indicated by the image 68. Next, the game device 10B performs the process of step S134.

  In step S134, the game device 10B determines whether or not to end the coordination. For example, when an operation for ending the coordination of the character A is performed by the user B (Yes in step S134), the game device 10B ends the character coordination process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the coordination of the character A is not terminated, the game device 10B executes the process of step S132 again.

  Returning to FIG. 28, the game device 10 </ b> B next determines whether or not to transmit the coordinated character A (character A <b> 1) in step S <b> 122. Specifically, game device 10B determines whether or not character A1 data 114 stored in main memory 32 satisfies a predetermined criterion. For example, the game device 10B determines that the character A1 does not satisfy a predetermined criterion when the item to be worn is not worn (for example, when no clothing is worn). If the determination result is affirmative, the game device 10B next executes the process of step S123. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the game device 10B next executes the process of step S124. Note that the server 50 may determine whether or not the character A1 satisfies a predetermined criterion.

  In step S <b> 123, game device 10 </ b> B transmits character A <b> 1 to server 50. Specifically, game device 10B accesses server 50 based on identification information A (shop A information) included in acquisition data 111 from game device 10A. More specifically, game device 10B transmits to server 50 data including shop A information that is transmission destination information, shop B information that is transmission source information, and character A1. The game apparatus 10B accesses the shop A on the server 50 based on the shop A information, and the character A1 is stored in the collected data box 65A in the shop A. That is, the server 50 stores the character A1 sent from the game apparatus 10B in the collected data box 65A in the shop A. In this case, the server 50 stores the shop B information sent from the game apparatus 10B in association with the character A1. Thus, the character A1 is stored in the collected data box 65A, and it is recorded that the character A1 is data sent from the game apparatus 10B. When the determination whether or not the character A1 satisfies the predetermined standard (step S122) is performed on the server 50 side, the server 50 stores the character A1 in the collection data box 65A only when the determination result is affirmative. If the determination result is negative, even if the character A1 is transmitted, the character A1 is not stored in the collection data box 65A. Next, the game device 10B performs the process of step S124.

  In step S124, game device 10B determines whether or not to obtain an evaluation. Specifically, the game device 10 </ b> B determines that an evaluation is acquired when a predetermined operation is performed by the user B. If the determination result is affirmative, the game device 10B next executes a process of step S125. On the other hand, if the determination result is negative, the game device 10B ends the main process shown in FIG.

  In step S125, the game device 10B accesses the server 50 and acquires an evaluation result by the user A. The game apparatus 10B acquires the evaluation result by the user A stored in the shop B based on the shop B information stored in the own device. Specifically, the game device 10B accesses the response data box 66B of the shop B, and acquires the evaluation result of the user A. This is the end of the main process shown in FIG.

  Next, details of the game process executed in the game apparatus 10A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed in game device 10A.

For example, when the image 67 is selected by the user A, a plurality of options indicating the request content may be displayed (see FIG. 23). For example, each of the plurality of choices includes a character string indicating how the character A is desired to be coordinated. When one of these is selected by the user A, a request content (for example, a request for “lovely” coordination is set) is set. Further, arbitrary request contents may be input by the user A.

  Next, the game device 10A executes the processes of step S102 and step S103. Note that, in the local communication processing in step S103, the game apparatus 10A requests the game apparatus 10B existing in a predetermined range of the player's own apparatus, the request data including the request content and the character A set in step S220, the shop A information, Send.

  After the process of step S103, the process of step S201 is executed. In step S201, the game device 10A determines whether or not to connect to the server 50. If the determination result is affirmative, the game device 10A connects to the server 50 (step S202). After the process of step S202, the process of step S221 is executed.

  In step S <b> 221, the game device 10 </ b> A acquires the character A <b> 1 from the server 50. Specifically, the game device 10A obtains the character A1 (and other coordinated character A) by accessing the collected data box 65A in the shop A on the server 50. Character A coordinated by another user is stored in the collected data box 65A. When the game apparatus 10A acquires the coordinated character A from the collected data box 65A, the user A can check the character A coordinated by each user on the screen of the game apparatus 10A (FIG. 26). Note that the character A1 may be acquired in response to an operation by the user A. For example, when a character string, an icon, or the like indicating that the character A1 is stored is displayed on the screen of the game apparatus 10A, and the user A selects the character string, icon, or the like, the game apparatus 10A The character A1 acquisition request may be transmitted. The server 50 transmits the character A1 to the game device 10A in response to the acquisition request. In this way, the game device 10A acquires (downloads) the character A1 from the server 50. Next, the game device 10A executes the process of step S222.

  In step S <b> 222, the game device 10 </ b> A transmits the evaluation result to the server 50. For example, when the user A performs a predetermined operation (for example, an operation for selecting the image 69b shown in FIG. 26) and the character A1 is evaluated, the game apparatus 10A transmits a request for storing the evaluation result to the server 50. To do. The evaluation result storage request includes the evaluation result and the shop B information. Based on the shop B information, game device 10A transmits the evaluation result to response data box 66B of shop B on server 50. For example, in FIG. 26, a link to the shop B may be set in the image 69b displayed under the character A1, and the evaluation result may be transmitted to the shop B by selecting the image 69b. . In this way, the evaluation result is transmitted to the response data box 66B in the shop B, and the user B can refer to the evaluation result of the user A by accessing the response data box 66B of his shop B. . Above, the process shown in FIG. 30 is complete | finished.
