Abstract: The information processing device includes: a storage; and a controller that: stores, in the storage, participation status information indicating a user participation status in an event occurrence area, wherein the participation status information is associated with the event occurrence area that is set up at a location in a virtual game space corresponding to a location in a real space, determines whether the event occurrence area is in a crowded state based on the participation status information, after determining that the event occurrence area is in the crowded state, restricts participation to the event occurrence area in the virtual game space, and after determining that the event occurrence area is in the crowded state, sets up another event occurrence area in the virtual game space.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a controller that generates a list that includes a plurality of players while a game is underway, a receiver that receives a request from an external device to acquire an intangible item to be executed in the game based on input from one of the players, and a transmitter that transmits a signal to the external device. The controller counts a number of predetermined players who have input the request within a first time period among the plurality of players. The controller outputs, to the transmitter, an instruction to award the intangible item to the predetermined players when the number is less than a predetermined value. The controller outputs, to the transmitter, an instruction to award the intangible item and an additional intangible item to the predetermined players when the number is greater than or equal to the predetermined value.

Abstract: A server device is provided that includes a registration unit configured to accept information identifying a target application for pre-registration and information identifying a user from a terminal device and register the accepted information, and a providing unit configured to provide registration information to a management service for performing a verification with respect to the information identifying the target application and the information identifying the user accepted from the terminal device after the target application is released. The registration information may be provided in a batch or each time the verification is performed.

Abstract: A technique is provided that involves issuing an advertisement code to be posted on an advertisement medium or an invite code issued in response to a request from a user, generating a parameter for associating the advertisement code or the invite code with a predetermined reward, and generating page data and returning the page data upon being accessed by a browser application of a terminal device based on an address specified by the advertisement code or the invite code. The page data is associated with a description of operations for passing the parameter corresponding to the advertisement code or the invite code and starting a predetermined game application.

Abstract: A system providing effective adjustment of an advertising volume is disclosed. Upon receiving use information indicating that advertising information has been used in a terminal device from the terminal device, a variable parameter corresponding to an electronic commodity with which the advertising information is associated on the terminal device and/or a variable parameter corresponding to an electronic commodity as information included in the advertising information is updated and then the advertising information associated with the electronic commodity to be transmitted is controlled on the basis of the variable parameters after the updating.
