Then, the state transitions to the map display state C1.

When the cell area 308 is tapped in the bingo cell display state C2, the state transition condition A3 is satisfied.
Then, the state transitions to the destination information display state C3.
For example, when an item in which “Watt Phra Kaeo” is displayed in each cell area 308 is tapped, the destination introduction screen 309 of “Wat Phra Kaeo” is displayed on the output unit 116 in the destination information display state C3.
In the destination information display state C3, a destination introduction screen 309 is displayed on the output unit 116. Therefore, when the user taps a return button (not shown), the state transition condition A4 is satisfied.
Then, the state transitions to the bingo cell display state C2.

When the user taps the imaging screen transition operation area 312 in the destination information display state C3, the state transition condition A5 is satisfied.
Then, the state transitions to the imaging standby state C4.

For example, when the button area 314 on which “single scan” is displayed in a state where the two-dimensional barcode Q is displayed in the finder area on the imaging screen 313, the two-dimensional barcode Q is read.
If the reading of the two-dimensional barcode Q is successful, the state transition condition A6 is satisfied.
Then, the state transitions to the bingo cell display state C2.

In the imaging standby state C4, an imaging screen 313 is displayed on the output unit 116. Therefore, when the user taps a return button (not shown) or a button area in which “Cancel” is displayed, the state transition condition A7 is satisfied.
Then, the state transitions to the destination information display state C3.

  In this way, in the bingo game, in order to establish a bingo state, the user browses introductory information in advance about destinations that do not necessarily move, and is interested in those destinations. It is possible to enjoy the idea of selecting a way to establish the bingo state so as to include.

  A recording medium including such a program is not only constituted by a removable medium distributed separately from the apparatus main body in order to provide the program to each user, but also provided to each user in a state of being incorporated in the apparatus main body in advance. It is composed of a provided recording medium or the like.

In the present specification, the steps for describing the program recorded on the recording medium are not limited to the processing performed in time series according to the order, but may be performed in parallel or individually even if not necessarily performed in time series. The process to be executed is also included.
Also, for example, each user may have means for designating a specific place and notifying a “help” message to other users who are simultaneously playing a predetermined bingo game.
(For example, when the time limit is approaching, a high score can be achieved in cooperation by having other players nearby visit a specific place that they cannot reach.) The product may be divided into mountains))).
Further, for example, the navigation function may be able to present a route for traveling around a specific place most efficiently.

In addition, for example, a navigation function may be used to present a route that travels to reach reach or bingo.
Further, for example, when there is a sponsor for the specific place among the specific places, the place may be displayed for the cell of the bingo game associated with the specific place. (Since the player can confirm in advance the cells that can be opened reliably if they go around, it can be used as an incentive for sponsors. A place where a lot of advertising fees have been paid may be displayed earlier.) .

Further, for example, a coupon that can be used around the specific place or the like may be given to the winner of the bingo game by lottery.
Further, for example, if the same region (not necessarily the same bingo game) is played again within a predetermined period after the previous play, the expiration date of the acquired coupon may be extended.
(It can be a parallel tive that attracts repeaters to a given area).
