A server apparatus includes a communication interface, a memory, and a processor configured to execute an instruction command stored in the memory to identify other players located within a predetermined range of a distance from a first terminal device, when the communication interface receives position information detected by the first terminal device held by a first player from the first terminal device, to determine whether a non-player character appears in a virtual space of a game application in response to a number of the identified other players, and to transmit non-player information about a non-player character to the first terminal device when the processor determined that the non-player character appears in the virtual space.

Server apparatus, program, method, and terminal device

A terminal device includes: a sensor configured to detect first and second current position information of a moving player at first and second times; a memory configured to store first and second area information identified in in response to a correspondence relationship between the detected current position information and one or a plurality of areas, and an instruction command; and a processor configured to execute firstly identify the first area information in response to the correspondence relationship, secondly identify the second area information in response to the correspondence relationship, and transmit at least one of the second current position information and the second area information to a server device via a communication interface when the first area information is different from the second area information.

Terminal device, program, and method

A server apparatus, method, and program are provided that are capable of causing information about the real world to be reflected in the virtual world of a game. First, a server apparatus receives a signal including at least one of location information sent from a terminal apparatus or specific point-to-point distance information calculated based on the location information. Next, the server apparatus, based on at least one of the location information or the distance information, calculates a cumulative distance between a plurality of other points through which the terminal apparatus has passed in the real world. Next, the server apparatus sets a reward to be granted to the terminal apparatus in accordance with the cumulative distance. This makes it possible, for example, to cause an online game to be closely correlated with the daily life of the user, and to arouse the interest of users in the online game.

Server apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A server device is provided that provides a user with a mode for assigning newer privileges. The server device includes: a communication unit for receiving, from a terminal device, position information indicating a position of the terminal device in the real world, the terminal device being held by a user, and a first application being executed in the terminal device; a memory unit for storing a plurality of items stored in correspondence with prescribed locations in the real world; and a control unit for assigning to the user a privilege usable in a second application different from the first application, on the basis of one or more items that are selected by the user from the plurality of items stored in the memory unit and that are arranged in correspondence with locations within a prescribed range from the real-world position indicated by the position information.

Server device

A service device provides a multiplayer game which a user can enjoy by a new technique. The server device includes a storage unit for storing information on at least one predetermined team operated by a predetermined player corresponding to a terminal device and made up of a plurality of characters; a first control unit for transmitting to the terminal device information on other players corresponding to other terminal devices located within a predetermined distance from the location of the terminal device; and a second control unit for controlling a game between the at least one predetermined team and an opponent character, and transmitting information on a specified character selected from among a plurality of characters constituting at least one other team operated by the other players to the terminal device as a candidate for an additional character to be added to the at least one predetermined team.
