Abstract: A method of processing an interactive game, and a program product and game system for the same, which enables a character other than the player character to act separately from the player character in the game virtual space, sets an event which a character other than the player character can execute when a condition in the progress of the game is satisfied, displays on the screen the existence of that event for the character other than the player character acting separately from the player character when the condition in the progress of the game enabling execution of that event is satisfied, selectively accepts execution of the event displayed on the screen by an operation of the player in the screen display, and selectively executes and displays on the screen the event for the character other than the player character acting separately from the player character in accordance with the acceptance of the selection and execution of that event.

Abstract: There is provided a method for a flow control to a mobile communication network in which an ATM virtual channel established between a first base station having a radio zone in which a mobile station exists and a terminating ATM node to which a remote station with which the mobile station communicates is connected. The first step of the method is to queue, in an ATM node, incoming cells to be sent to a second base station having a radio zone when the mobile station is handed over to the radio zone of the second base station. The second step of the method is to stop queuing and send the incoming cells queued in the ATM node to the second base station after the mobile station is handed over.
