Abstract
The dynamic control of object identification codes involved in the customization of virtual reality space objects, such as object addition and deletion, by users is facilitated. Each of client terminals 13-1 through 13-3 sets given local IDs obj101 through obj103 for a cylindrical object, a quadrangular prism object, and a conical object independently of the other client terminals. Tables T131 through T133 are registered in a server terminal 11-1 beforehand for the client terminals 13-1 and 13-3 respectively. The tables T131 through T133 each list the relationship between local IDs obj101 through obj103 of the objects controlled by the corresponding client terminal and the global IDs objA through objC controlled by the server terminal 11-1. Use of these tables T131 through T133 allows the client terminals 13-1 through 13-3 to separately set, add or delete the local IDs obj101 through obj103.
