Abstract: When a game operation image is displayed on a touch panel of a portable terminal, the size of a game display screen and the operation image are small and therefore the progress of a game becomes difficult. Even in the case of a terminal having only a touch panel of a limited size, an operation image having a size that affects the progress of a game as little as possible is displayed on the touch panel by superimposing the operation image on a game display screen at a position that affects the progress of the game as little as possible.

Abstract: A content selection unit refers to a content information database, which stores content provided to a plurality of client devices and information related to provision of the content, linking the content with the information to one another, and selects, based on the information acquired by referring to the content information database, a predetermined number of content items from the content currently provided to at least one of the plurality of client devices. A user selection unit refers to the content information database and selects, for each content item selected by the content selection unit, a user who is executing the selected content. A publication unit publicizes moving images showing a screen in which the content currently executed by the user selected by the user selection unit is being executed such that the screen is viewable on a network, cyclically switching from one content item to another.

Abstract: Provided is a position information providing system which can reduce a time required for acquiring position information. An indoor transmitter is adapted to provide position information by using a second positioning signal compatible with a first positioning signal which is a spread spectrum signal from each of a plurality of satellites. The indoor transmitter includes an EEPROM which stores therein position data for identifying an installation location thereof, an FPGA operable to generate a second positioning signal including the position data as a spread spectrum signal, and a transmitting section operable to transmit the spread spectrum signal. The second positioning signal is generated to repeat the same content in a cycle shorter than that of the first positioning signal.
