Abstract: At least one memory device of the game system that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: capture a surface on which an item is placed, read information stored in an IC tag provided to the item, and identify a type and a state of the item placed on the surface based on the captured image of the surface and a read result of the information.

Abstract: A game medium identification system applied to a game in which each of physical game media, that includes an appearance element characterizing appearance, is used in combination with an additional thing, and identifying the game media, the game medium identification system includes: an information medium provided on the additional thing and holding identification information; a medium image identification device identifying the game medium based on an image of the game medium; an association setting device associating an identification result by the medium image identification device with an identification information of the information medium in accordance with correspondence relationship between one game medium and the additional thing to be used in the game in combination with the one game medium; and a medium identification device detecting the identification information from the information medium and identifying the game medium based on the identification information and association set by the associati

Abstract: A display control unit (101) displays a key image, which serves as an operation target, etc. on a display unit. An area memory unit (103) stores a reception area (area information) corresponding to the displayed key image. A detecting unit (104) senses a user's touching operation and detects its touch position. A determining unit (105) makes determinations whether the detected touch position is within the range of the reception area stored in the area memory unit (103), etc. A time measuring unit (106) measures a time period that has elapsed since the touching operation. When a touching operation is detected, an area control unit (107) expands a reception area that includes the touch position to a predetermined range. Thereafter, the area control unit (107) reduces the expanded reception area to its original size when the time measuring unit (106) measures a predetermined time period.
