Abstract: A program for causing an information processing device to execute a process is recorded on a computer-readable storage medium. The process includes: obtaining an identification of a logged-in account; referencing information that associates an identification of an account with a virtual machine to be permitted to make a communication; recognizing a first virtual machine corresponding to the obtained identification by using the referenced information; executing one or a plurality of virtual machines on the information processing device that is a physical machine; determining whether or not a second virtual machine from which data is transmitted toward a network is the first virtual machine; allowing the data to pass through and transmitting the data toward the network if the second virtual machine is determined to be the first virtual machine; and discarding the data if the second virtual machine is determined not to be the first virtual machine.

Abstract: A method for delivering an instant message in a server connected to two or more computers via a network is provided. The two or more computers include groupware clients in which a user can perform login at the same time, using the same user ID, and for which status that may be different from each other can be set. Embodiments of the method includes authenticating a user of a groupware client who attempts to perform login using a user ID, recording the user ID and status information in association with an instant messaging user ID, receiving an instant message addressed to the user ID, and determining, on the basis of the status information, which of two or more client computers the instant message is sent to.

Abstract: A gaming machine which determines establishment/non-establishment of a shift condition for shifting a game mode from a normal game mode to a special game mode, shifts to the special game mode based on the determination result, and allows an instruction of A player to be inputted thereto, extracts predetermined number of card data to be used in the special game mode, selects a first and a second card data on the gaming machine side and a player side from among the extracted card data, and determines right/wrong of a designating instruction according to a result of comparison between the card data. Upon win, this gaming machine determines establishment/non-establishment of a winning combination based on the extracted card data, and when a winning combination is established, the machine performs payout corresponding to the established combination.

Abstract: The present invention discourages effective illegal use of compromised biometric information in biometric authentication and allows biometric authentication to be securely continued even when some biometric information is compromised. A user authentication system compares extracted user features with a previously registered combination of features and authenticates the user on the basis of the result of the comparison. If the authentication is successful, the previously registered combination is replaced with a new combination of features that are registered for use in the subsequent authentication of the authentication object.
