Abstract: An example of a game system executes a racing game where a plurality of movement objects are moved in a course in a virtual space. The course includes a branch portion branching into a plurality of branch destinations, and the plurality of movement objects pass through the branch portion multiple times in progressing through the course. In the branch portion, a branch destination that a movement object is allowed to enter or a branch destination that the movement object is restricted from entering is switched in accordance with a degree of progress of the movement object in the racing game.

Abstract: It is determined whether execution is to be carried out in a first mode or in a second mode, according to a user's selection operation. In the first mode, a movement of a player object is controlled according to the user's movement operation, and a movement of a non-player object is automatically controlled. Positions of the player object and the non-player object are changed according to the user's position changing operation such that a relative positional relationship between the player object and the non-player object for use in the second mode is a first positional relationship. In the second mode, movements of the player object and the non-player object are automatically controlled while maintaining the first positional relationship.

Abstract: An in-game event occurring based on a user's input is detected in a game of each time, where the game is performed a plurality of times. A first parameter is increased or decreased based on the in-game event occurring in the game of each time, the first parameter being reset for the game of each time, to calculate a score in the game of each time. A second parameter is increased or decreased based on a result of the game determined based on an assessment parameter different from a final score, the second parameter being used in the game of the plurality of times without being reset for the game of each time.

Abstract: To prompt measurement of corresponding biometric data according to a variation of environmental data. A measurement-facilitating device includes a first acquisition unit that acquires the environmental data regarding an external environment of a user, a first determination unit that determines whether the environmental data meets a preliminarily stored condition regarding an environment set based on the biometric data of the user and indicating that the biometric data of the user is susceptible to a change, and an instruction unit that instructs the measurement of the biometric data when the environmental data is determined to meet the condition.

Abstract: To effectively support behavior that maintains and promotes the health of a user, and to improve communication between users. A healthy behavior support device includes a processor. The processor is configured to select a plurality of comparison target users satisfying a predetermined condition from a storage unit that stores schedule information of a plurality of users, notify each of the selected plurality of comparison target users of a comparison counterpart user, acquire an index value correlated to state of health of each of the selected plurality of comparison target users, and set the acquired index values to a state of being sharable between the plurality of comparison target users.

Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device according to an aspect includes a blood pressure measurement unit that measures a blood pressure of a user, a setting unit that sets a measurement scheduled time for a time a predetermined time period before a wake-up scheduled time of the user, and a measurement control unit that causes the blood pressure measurement unit to measure the blood pressure of the user in accordance with the set measurement scheduled time.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains at least one piece of history information that allows identification of a first travel route over which a game object has traveled in a first race run in a virtual game stage, executes a second race run in the virtual game stage, in which a game event occurs independently of the first race and in which a player object and at least one non-player object participate, associates the history information with the non-player object for the second race, and determines in the second race, over which of the first travel route identified by the associated history information and a second travel route different from the first travel route the non-player object is to travel, depending on a race state resulting from the game event that occurs in the second race.
