PURCHASE-ASSISTING SERVER, PURCHASE-ASSISTING METHOD, PURCHASE-ASSISTING SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM
A purchase-assisting server 100, wherein the purchase-assisting server is configured to comprise: a storage unit 110 for holding the attribute information of each user and the content of made-to-order clothes; a subject presentation unit 121 for specifying, on the basis of the attribute information of each user in the storage unit 110, another user associated with the attribute of a user for whom make-to-order is performed and outputting the information of make-to-order content of the other user to a terminal 200 of the user for whom make-to-order is performed as a clothing customization subject; and an order-processing unit 122 for accepting a customizing operation on the outputted make-to-order content from the terminal 200 and executing an order process with a made-to-order result in which the customizing operation on the make-to-order content is reflected.
A costumed character direction assistance device worn by a costumed performer comprises: an environmental information acquisition unit that acquires environmental information for the area surrounding the costumed character; a storage unit that stores direction information for the costumed character; and a direction output unit that outputs direction for the costumed character according to the environmental information on the basis of the direction information. By analyzing the status of the area surrounding the costumed character and outputting direction for the costumed character according to the status, the burden on the direction for the costumed character to be performed by the costumed performer is reduced and direction giving an impression of ad-libbing can be executed.
The present invention is configured to allow a user to raise a virtual creature through the exercise of good sleeping habits, thus helping the user in keeping motivation for exercising good sleeping habits while enjoying raising the virtual creature. A game server according to the present invention manages the progress of a virtual-creature raising game and includes: an acquisition unit that acquires sleeping information including, at least, a sleeping pattern indicating a bed time and a wake-up time of a user; a sleeping-history storage unit that stores the acquired sleeping information as a sleeping history; and a processing unit that performs processing related to the raising game on the basis of the sleeping pattern in the sleeping history.
A63F 13/42 - Processing input control signals of video game devices, e.g. signals generated by the player or derived from the environment by mapping the input signals into game commands, e.g. mapping the displacement of a stylus on a touch screen to the steering angle of a virtual vehicle
A63F 13/428 - Processing input control signals of video game devices, e.g. signals generated by the player or derived from the environment by mapping the input signals into game commands, e.g. mapping the displacement of a stylus on a touch screen to the steering angle of a virtual vehicle involving motion or position input signals, e.g. signals representing the rotation of an input controller or a player's arm motions sensed by accelerometers or gyroscopes
A63F 13/65 - Generating or modifying game content before or while executing the game program, e.g. authoring tools specially adapted for game development or game-integrated level editor automatically by game devices or servers from real world data, e.g. measurement in live racing competition
A63F 13/69 - Generating or modifying game content before or while executing the game program, e.g. authoring tools specially adapted for game development or game-integrated level editor by enabling or updating specific game elements, e.g. unlocking hidden features, items, levels or versions

GAME SERVER, PROGRAM, METHOD, GAME SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING TERMINAL
The present invention is configured to generate a raising event in a virtual-creature raising game when a user wakes up in the morning, so that the user is motivated to think in a way that waking up in the morning is fun and thus is led to a fully awakened state. A game server according to the present invention manages the progress of a virtual-creature raising game and includes an acquisition unit that acquires a wake-up time of a user, and a processing unit that performs processing related to the raising game according to the acquired wake-up time. With this configuration, because waking up in the morning leads to raising a virtual creature, a user can keep motivation for living an early-bird lifestyle while enjoying the raising game.
