Exemplary communication systemincludes game devices, communication terminals, and game support server. Game devicesenable users to perform a multi-play activity. Each of communication terminalsruns an application associated with corresponding game device. Game support serverdivides communication terminalsinto separate communication groups in accordance with a situation of the multi-play activity performed by game devicesso that communication terminalsbelonging to a same communication group can communicate with each other.

Communication system, server, and information-processing method

Exemplary communication system 1 includes game devices 10, communication terminals 20, and game support server 30. Game devices 10 enable users to perform a multi-play activity. Each of communication terminals 20 runs an application associated with corresponding game device 10. Game support server 30 divides communication terminals 20 into separate communication groups in accordance with a situation of the multi-play activity performed by game devices 10 so that communication terminals 20 belonging to a same communication group can communicate with each other.

Exemplary communication systemincludes communication terminal, game device, and setting management server, each of which is connectable to network. Communication terminalincludes a processing requesting unit configured to request to setting management serverexecution of processing on game device. Setting management serverincludes a processing instruction unit configured to instruct game deviceto perform the requested execution of processing. Game deviceis a communication terminal not always connected to network, which device includes a network connection control unit configured to control connection to network, and a processing execution unit configured to perform the instructed execution of processing, upon detecting that game device, which was not connected to network, has been caused to connect to the network by the network connection control unit.
