Abstract: Provided are a game system, a game method, a game program, and a game server capable of, in a game in which a plurality of players can participate, contributing to a team through behaviors other than interpersonal battles in the game and encouraging fight together with other players. A game system 1 comprising: a character state decision unit 50 that is configured to decide a state of a neutral character based on a result of a fight between the neutral character and a player character; and a point giving control unit 62 that is configured to control a giving of points of the neutral character to a player, wherein the point giving control unit 62 is further configured to automatically give the points to the player if a first condition is satisfied, and cause a point object to appear in a play field and make the point object available for acquisition by any player of an ally team and an enemy team if a second condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A game system that contributes to a team not through an inter-person battle but through an action in a game and can provide an exciting fight even in a final stage of the game is provided. The game system includes processing circuitry configured to control assignment of a predetermined point associated with a neutral character to a player; set points assigned to the player as a score of the ally team; and determine a victory or a defeat by comparing a score of the ally team with a score of the enemy team, wherein the display, before a victory or a defeat is determined, does not display totals of scores of the ally team and the enemy team and, after a victory or a defeat is determined, displays a total of scores of each team and displays a score progress of a predetermined player character.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a display unit, and a plurality of sensor elements, wherein the plurality of sensor elements are provided separate from the display unit, wherein the display unit is configured to switch display between a plurality of output screens based on a user input on the plurality of sensor elements, the plurality of output screens including output screens having different hierarchical levels and output screens having a same hierarchical level, and wherein the output screens having different hierarchical levels display information on the different hierarchical levels, and the switching display is controlled to switch display directly between the output screens having different hierarchical levels based on the user input.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus including a circuitry configured to initiate a reception of an information request that has been wirelessly transmitted from an information processing terminal, initiate, based on the information request, an obtaining of an information wirelessly from an external communication device, and initiate a wireless transmission of the obtained information to the information processing terminal.

Abstract: The invention provides a composition for transdermal or transmucosal administration useful as an anti-Alzheimer's drug, an antiparkinson drug, an antidepressant, a psychoactive drug, or to treat drug dependence. The composition has an effective dose of a racemate or an optically acceptable substance of 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)-2-propylaminopentane or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof and a vehicle, which can be administered without an invasion of skin or mucous membrane. The composition enables its active ingredient to stably arrive in a sufficient effective amount through the skin and mucous membrane to the body or brain. The composition is free of disadvantages such as a reduction in an active component caused by a first pass effect in the liver, as well as pain, damage or infection.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for transdermal or transmucosal administration, which is useful as an anti-Alzheimer's drug, an antiparkinson drug, an antidepressant, a psychoactive drug, or a therapeutic agent for drug dependence.
