Abstract: In order to output event content of a related match during execution of a main match, there is provided a virtual start time decider for deciding virtual start times for a plurality of matches, a related match selector for selecting, from the plurality of matches, at least one match, taking place at least partially at the same time as a main match a player's team is taking part in, as one or more matches related to the main match based on virtual start times for each match, a related match simulator for simulating the related matches, event storage unit for storing event time and event content for prescribed types of events occurring in the related matches, a main match executor for executing the main match, an event time arrival monitor for monitoring for arrival of the event time stored by the event storage unit during execution of the main match, and an event content output unit for outputting event content corresponding to the event time when it is determined that the event time has arrived during executi

Abstract: In providing a gun shooting game allowing selective use of one or more types of controller among multiple types of controller, the effect of difference between controllers on the game can be diminished. A gun shooting game device 10 allowing selective use of one or more types of controller among multiple types of controller includes a target display unit 100 for displaying a target, a controller type determination unit 102 for determining the type of a currently used controller, a hit determination unit 103 for determining whether or not a bullet has hit the target based on data supplied by the controller, and a range extent control unit 104 for controlling the extent of a range in which the bullet is determined as hitting the target among supplied data based on the controller type.

Abstract: Proper recognition of a position can be achieved even when a predetermined part of a player moves rapidly. An image of a player is captured by a camera unit, and from this image the head position of the player is recognized, so that the game proceeds based on the recognized result. At this time, a base position group is selected in principle from a difference between the latest and immediately preceding player images within a selection range corresponding to the previously recognized position (S207), and the selection range is changed exceptionally to reselect the base position group from the difference (S210).

Abstract: Input of an address including a network number and a host number can be facilitated. During data communication, part or all of the network number of a destination IP address is acquired and sequentially stored. When an IP address is to be input, part or all of one network number is selected among those which have been stored based on user designation, and user input of any remaining part of the network number and the host number is received. The part or all of the network number and any remaining part of the network number and the host number are combined to form an input IP address.
