Abstract
An information processing device 10 comprises a ROM 12 which stores a reference code indicative of a predetermined area, a site code forming unit 14 which forms a site code of a measuring point, based on position measuring data “a” given by a global positioning system, and a comparison unit which compares the reference code stored in the ROM 12 with the site code formed by the site code forming unit 14 and outputs an actuation signal based on comparison result. A game device including the information processing device 10 can control a game corresponding to an area, based on a site code indicative of a current position, a measuring point.
Claims7
A game device comprising:
- a game control unit for executing a game program;
- and
- an information processing device, said information processing device comprising:
- a reference code storing unit which stores a reference code indicative of a predetermined area;
- a site code forming unit which, based on position measuring data obtained by a positioning system, forms a site code at a measuring point;
- a control unit which outputs a predetermined control signal based on the site code formed by the site code forming unit;
- and
- a comparison unit which compares the reference code stored in the reference code storing unit with the site code formed by the site code forming unit to output a comparison result, wherein
- an external storage device to be mounted on the game device stores a plurality of area codes, and special programs associated with said plurality of area codes, and wherein
- the game control unit executes at least one of the special programs, based on the comparison result given by the comparison unit.
