Abstract: A computer system controls in parallel multiple virtual spaces that are set so as to have a common world view and that enables users to change their participation virtual spaces, manages occurrence incidents, which are incidents that occur or probably occur in each virtual space, and manages a target user's participation record for the first virtual space. Moreover, the computer system manages a restriction on target user's participation in a virtual space other than the first virtual space, based on (a) the difference between the first occurrence incident, which is an occurrence incident in the first virtual space, and an occurrence incident in the virtual space other than the first virtual space, and (b) the target user's participation record for the first virtual space.

Abstract: A virtual space control system sets a virtual space in a first virtual space, and expresses an embodiment space embodying a second virtual space in the virtual space. Virtual objects embodying embodiment target objects in the second virtual space are disposed in the virtual space. A disposition configuration of the virtual objects in the first virtual space is aligned with a disposition configuration of the embodiment target objects in the second virtual space, which are associated with the virtual objects. captured images serving as sources of embodiment images that undergo texture mapping onto the virtual objects are generated in a sub-server system. The embodiment images are created by causing the captured images to undergo calculation amount reduction processing.

Abstract: A portal server system manages a plurality of cyberspaces in which users can participate. Each cyberspace is associated with a participation disallowance condition including at least a condition that participation exceeding a given allowable number of participants is not allowed. The portal server system includes a participation possibility determination section that determines whether a user can participate in a cyberspace based on the participation disallowance condition associated with the cyberspace, and a participation allowed state setting section that, when a given specific user participating in a first cyberspace among the cyberspaces leaves the first cyberspace, sets the specific user to a participation allowed state in which the participation possibility determination section allows the specific user to participate in the first cyberspace.

Abstract: A computer system controls a start of a gathering event that gathers a user character of a participating user at a given gathering place in a virtual space upon acceptance of a gathering request operation from a terminal of a directing user. The computer system controls a display of a map image displaying the gathering place in the virtual space in an identifiable display mode on the terminals of the directing user and the participating user. The computer system determines a success/failure of the gathering event using a position of the user character operated by the participating user. The computer system gives a given reward to the directing user and/or the participating user when the gathering event is determined to be a success in the event success/failure determination.

Abstract: A server system to manage esports live distribution distributes, to a viewer terminal, data for displaying an image of gameplay by players on the viewer terminal, and situation data. The situation data describes various situations, such as a viewer's watching situation, a game progress status, a player's operation situation, a reward generation situation, a posting situation of comments such as cheers, and an evaluation situation of players by viewers. In the viewer terminal, various types of situation data are compared with predetermined screen configuration change conditions, and when some of the conditions is satisfied, the present configuration of a watching screen is changed to a screen configuration associated with the satisfied condition to provide information for the viewer in such a manner as to facilitate understanding of a situation on each occasion.

Abstract: When control is performed to output a watching target advertisement on a display screen displaying a game image, a user selects and sets an input element from entertainment elements, related to the game, possessed by the user. When the input element is determined, the watching target advertisement is controlled. The input element is consumed when the watching control is completed. Then, an output element, which is an entertainment element different from the input element and is selected based on information on the watching target advertisement, information on the input element, and the like, is given to the user.

Abstract: A computer system performs display control to display a reward advertisement at a given screen switching timing, a screen switching timing due to start or end of a game progress unit, or a timing at which a game progression satisfies a given change condition. The computer system gives a reward for watching the advertisement to a player. The reward is set based on user data and/or play data of the player related to the game.

Abstract: An advertisement that has been watched by a friend but has not been watched by a target player is controlled to be displayed at a timing satisfying a timing condition defining a timing at which the advertisement is displayed, in a game played by the target player. At that time, information indicating that the advertisement has been watched by the friend is also controlled to be displayed. A reward for watching the advertisement is given to the target player. The reward changes in accordance with the number of the friends who have watched the advertisement and a friendship level of the friend. The target player is further notified that the advertisement has been watched by the friend, and thus the reward has changed.

Abstract: When a player sets an acquisition target item to be an item he or she wants at a timing of creating a plan, actually required points that are required for acquiring the acquisition target item is determined. Then, options of the advertisement plan in which one or a plurality of advertisements are listed so that watching points reaching the actually required points can be acquired, from options of advertisements that can be watched in exchange for the watching points. When any of the plans is selected and confirmed, an advertisement is displayed based on the plan, and the watching points are given to the player. When the sum of the watching points given reaches the actually required points, the acquisition target item in the plan is given to the player.
