Abstract: The terminal device includes a battery for storing power, a battery control circuit that detects a state of the battery, and a processor configured to vary a parameter to be used in execution of the predetermined game application on the basis of the state of the battery detected in the battery control circuit in executing the predetermined game application while consuming the power supplied from the battery according to an instruction of a user.

Abstract: A terminal device is provided that shifts a state between a plurality of states including a standby state in which execution of at least a partial application is restricted, and a normal state in which the restriction is canceled, and the terminal device includes a sensor unit configured to detect an ambient environment of the terminal device or a status of the terminal device itself in the standby state, and a control unit configured to, in a case in which the application is started up, restrict progress of the application in the normal state, and in the standby state, progress the application based on information detected by the sensor unit.

Abstract: A server apparatus, method, and program are provided that are capable of causing information about the real world to be reflected in the virtual world of a game. First, a server apparatus receives a signal including at least one of location information sent from a terminal apparatus or specific point-to-point distance information calculated based on the location information. Next, the server apparatus, based on at least one of the location information or the distance information, calculates a cumulative distance between a plurality of other points through which the terminal apparatus has passed in the real world. Next, the server apparatus sets a reward to be granted to the terminal apparatus in accordance with the cumulative distance. This makes it possible, for example, to cause an online game to be closely correlated with the daily life of the user, and to arouse the interest of users in the online game.
