  • Patent number: 9597597
    Abstract: If a management server receives an invitation request, the management server acquires a requester's reference identification information corresponding to a requester's user identification information, a receiver's reference identification information corresponding to a receiver's user identification information, and an identification information, by referring to a user information table. The management server generates a record in which a status information is set to “pending”, and records the record in an invitation table. Assuming that the game to which a user A wants to invite another user B is a game b, the other user B who builds a friendship with the user A in a game c, the user A manages one terminal device, and the other user B manages another terminal device. In this case, the management server sends an invitation mail indicating that there is an invitation from the user A in the game b to the other terminal device.

  • Publication number: 20140349754
    Abstract: If a management server receives an access request, the management server performs a first ranking processing. A CPU extracts records satisfying a predetermined condition by referring to a relation table, and specifies one or plural user identification information included in the extracted records. The CPU accumulates the number of the specified user identification information for each of games, and specifies descending order of popularity of the games using the accumulated number. The CPU arranges information including explanations of the games in descending order of the number of users playing the games, and generates a first ranking page. The CPU sends an access response including the first ranking page back to a terminal device.
