The environment providing unit 46 executes the routine of FIG. 10 every time, for example, by executing the use request from the golf game machine GS. When the request is for example, the specific service is a conference, and the selection item for the conference participation screen for selecting the conference participation screen or the selection item for the conference participation display of the play mode selection screen PG is additionally displayed. Furthermore, the control unit 41 For example, processing for providing a website for golf balls and the like are performed, and various well-known processes are also performed, but the detailed description is omitted. Further, the control unit 31 of the user information management server 3 executes various known processes, for example, for the provision of various websites, management of materials, and the like, but the detailed description thereof will be omitted. Similarly, the control unit 15 of the golf game machine main body 10 executes various well-known processes, for example, in order to execute a golf game or the like, but the detailed description is omitted.

When the environment providing unit 46 starts the routine of FIG. 10, first, in step S11, information on a specific service to be realized, such as a meeting, is acquired from the environmental condition data 45. Specifically, information on the predetermined conditions corresponding to the specific service to be realized by the conference or the like is obtained from the environmental condition data 45. In the next step S12, the environment providing unit 46 acquires information necessary for specifying an object to be provided with a specific service from the user management material 35 and the terminal management material 36. Specifically, information such as a user ID, a terminal ID, and a shop code for a specific user or the golf game machine GS is obtained from the user management data 35 and the terminal management data 36.

In the next step S13, the environment providing section 46 specifies an object that provides a specific service. More specifically, in accordance with the environmental condition data 45, the user management data 35, and the terminal management data 36, each of the golf game machines GS or users who use the specific service such as the required meeting can be used. This specific system can be implemented, for example, as described below. First, a specific service for requesting use is determined from each of the specific services that are set. This discrimination is performed, for example, according to the environment NO or the like, and is included in the information that can be used to identify a specific service. Moreover, information such as the environment NO is used, for example, by This information is given to the selections for participation in the conference and is included in the utilization requirements. Then, the environment providing unit 46 specifies the user ID, the terminal ID, the shop code, and the like of the specific service to be determined based on the environmental condition data 45, the user management data 35, and the terminal management data 36. In this way, the environment providing unit 46 specifies the user who can provide the specific service to be realized, the golf game machine GS, the shop 7, and the like in step S13.

In the next step S14, the environment providing unit 46 determines whether or not the use request is a request for use from the user or each of the golf game machines GS specified in step S13. In this case, for example, when a user of a golf website is added to the use of a specific service, and the condition of the user is limited, it is also determined whether or not the user who satisfies the condition is determined. When the result of the determination is an affirmative result, that is, when the user of the target or the golf game machine GS is used, the environment providing unit 46 proceeds to step S15. In step S15, the environment providing unit 46 ends the current routine by providing information corresponding to various predetermined conditions required for realizing the use of the specific service such as the conference to the golf game machine GS based on the environmental condition data 45. .

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in step S14 is a negative result, that is, when it is not the user of the target or the use request of the golf game machine GS, the environment providing unit 46 proceeds to step S16. In step S16, the environment providing unit 46 ends the current routine by outputting the error information in such a manner that the request is an error. In this way, whether or not the request for the use of a specific service such as a conference can be judged based on information limiting the object of the object included in the specified condition. Then, only for the objects contained in the provided object, For specific services.

As described above, according to this aspect, the user terminal 8 is used to set a specific service such as a golf tournament or a test. Moreover, the setting of the specific service may include information limiting the use of the object. Then, based on the information of the restricted use object, only a specific service is provided to the object judged to be usable. In other words, the user or the golf game machine GS other than the target cannot use the specific service. In other words, it is possible to limit the target of providing a specific service planned by a specific user, such as a golf game website, to a specific user or the like. Thereby, it is possible to plan a specific service such as an event by using only a partner or only a specific store 7 or the like. In particular, in a golf game, there is a high demand for realization of a competition of only a partner or the like. Therefore, it can enhance the fun of the game.
