Abstract
An exemplary information-processing device includes: an identifying unit configured to identify an event occurring at a location of the information-processing device; a communication unit configured to communicate with another information-processing device which is within an area including the location of the information-processing device and a location where the event occurs; and a processing unit configured to execute a process relating to the event identified by the identifying unit, together with the other information-processing device communicating via the communication unit.
Claims18
An information-processing device comprising:
- a first identifying unit configured to identify an event occurring at a location of the information-processing device, wherein the event is associated with a virtual object and an algorithm;
- a communication unit configured to communicate with another information-processing device which is within an area including the location of the information-processing device or a location where the event occurs;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute a process relating to the event identified by the first identifying unit, together with the another information-processing device communicating via the communication unit, wherein the process includes operating the virtual object in accordance with the algorithm.
A method comprising:
- identifying an event corresponding to a location of an information-processing device, wherein the event is associated with a virtual object and an algorithm;
- communicating with another information-processing device which is within an area including the location of the information-processing device or a location of the event;
- and
- executing a process relating to the identified event together with the other information-processing device with which communication is being made, wherein the process includes operating the virtual object in accordance with the algorithm.
A information-processing system comprising:
- a first portable terminal;
- and
- a second portable terminal, wherein
- each of the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal includes:
- an identifying unit configured to identify an event occurring at a location of the information-processing device, wherein the event is associated with a virtual object and an algorithm;
- a communication unit configured to communicate with another information-processing device which is within an area including the location of the information-processing device or a location where the event occurs;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute a process relating to the event identified by the identifying unit, together with the other information-processing device communicating via the communication unit, wherein the process includes operating the virtual object in accordance with the algorithm.
A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program which, when executed by a computer device, causes the computer device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying an event occurring at a location of the computer device, wherein the event is associated with a virtual object and an algorithm;
- communicating with another computer device which is within an area including the location of the computer device or a location where the event occurs;
- and
- executing a process relating to the identified event together with the other computer device with which communication is being made, wherein the process includes operating the virtual object in accordance with the algorithm.
