Abstract: An object is to provide a user with motivation to enjoy waking up in the morning and guide the user to sufficient awakening by generating a breeding event in a breeding game of a virtual life form when the user wakes up in the morning. A game server that manages progress of a breeding game of a virtual life form can provide a user with motivation to enjoy waking up in the morning and guide the user to sufficient awakening by generating a breeding event in a breeding game of a virtual life form when the user wakes up in the morning. The game server includes circuitry configured to acquire a wake-up time of a user; and a update the breeding game in accordance with the acquired wake-up time.

Abstract: A game system acquires the sleep information of a user and a game that uses the sleep information can be advanced even in a situation where the sleep information cannot be measured appropriately. The game system includes processing circuitry configured to acquire the sleep information of the user, generate modified sleep information with respect to at least a part of the sleep information by modifying the sleep information on the basis of sleep information having different content to the sleep information. When the modified sleep information has not been generated, the processing circuitry determines a first effect of the game on the basis of the sleep information, and when the modified sleep information has been generated, the processing circuitry determines a second effect, the second effect differing from the first effect, on the basis of the modified sleep information.

Abstract: Provided is a program executed by a computer that includes a processor, wherein the program causes the processor to execute a step for acquiring daily sleep information from a user, a step for specifying a first parameter, which is a parameter to be used by the user to play a game, for each date by comparing sleep information of the user over a predetermined period with sleep information of the user for each date, and a step for advancing the game on each date by performing lottery processing using the first parameter corresponding to the date.

Abstract: An example of an information processing system displays a character based on a character model of a first type in a first scene in the game, and based on a character model of a second type in a second scene. In a third scene, a wearable item is selected in response to a selection instruction. In the third scene, the character based on the character model of the first type having the appearance of wearing the selected wearable item is displayed, and the character based on the character model of the second type having the appearance of wearing the wearable item is displayed. When a confirm instruction is given, settings regarding the appearance of the character are changed so as to reflect the wearable item on the appearance of the character in the first scene and the second scene.

Abstract: A user estimates a change in a character's operation in a case where the character is operated in a virtual space by setting one or more commands for a character that is able to be disposed in a virtual space constituted by a plurality of virtual unit spaces and sets the order of execution of the commands. The commands and the order of execution of the commands are set for each of one character and another character, and each of the one character and the other character operates in the virtual space, and in a case where at least parts of an existence position of the one character and an existence position of the other character are common, at least any one of the one character and the other character executes a predetermined operation with preference over an operation based on the set command.

Abstract: A system having a radio-frequency-identification (RFID) tag reader and a camera to map playing cards to RFID tag values. Each card is inserted into a sleeve that has an RFID tag. During or after insertion of a card into a sleeve, the camera captures an image of the card and the RFID reader captures an RFID tag value for the sleeve. The identity of the card is then determined from the captured image and mapped to the RFID tag value. This mapping information is generated for each card-sleeve pair in a card deck and utilized to track the movement of the cards during game play. The RFID tag value of each card-sleeve pair in the card deck is captured before and after a player draws a card from the deck. The missing RFID tag values are compared to the mapping information to identify which cards where drawn by the player.

Abstract: A server includes a content storage medium configured to store content data of content usable in different types of games. The server, upon a transmission request, sends content data to an information-processing device, and retains the sent content data in the content storage medium wherein sending the content data again is prohibited. The server, when the content data is sent from the information-processing device, receives the content data, assigns a new ID to the received content data in case the received content data lacks the ID, and stores the received content data in the content storage medium wherein sending the content data is allowed.

Abstract: In a case where a second camera operation through a third input unit using an inertial sensor is performed while a pointer operation process based on a pointer operation through a first input unit or a camera operation process based on a first camera operation through a second input unit is performed, an absolute value of a quantity of change in a position or an image capturing direction of a virtual camera based on the second camera operation is reduced as compared with a case where the second camera operation is performed when neither of the pointer operation process based on the pointer operation and the camera operation process based on the first camera operation are performed.
