Abstract
A management server issues a token associated with friend network identification information identifying a user of a game provided by an application server, to the application server; receives the token passed from the game to another game on the basis of an operation of the user in a terminal apparatus where the game and the other game are available, from an application server that provides the other game; and manages, in association with each other, the friend network identification information related to the game and friend network identification information related to the other game for which the issued token matches the received token.
Claims8
A management apparatus that communicates with a plurality of application apparatuses including a first application apparatus providing a first application and a second application apparatus providing a second application, and that issues and manages first identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the first application and second identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the second application, the management apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store one or more instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:
- issue a first identifier associated with the first identification information of a user, with regard to the first application apparatus;
- receive a second identifier after the second identifier is passed from the first application to the second application in a terminal apparatus where the first application and the second application are available, and second identification information, among a plurality of pieces of the second identification information for the plurality of users, for a user of the terminal apparatus;
- and
- manage, in association with each other, the first identification information associated with the first identifier and the second identification information in a case in which the first identifier matches the second identifier.
A control method for a management apparatus that communicates with a plurality of application apparatuses including a first application apparatus providing a first application and a second application apparatus providing a second application, and that issues and manages first identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the first application and second identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the second application, the control method comprising:
- issuing a first identifier associated with the first identification information of a user, to the first application apparatus;
- receiving, from the second application apparatus, a second identifier after the second identifier is passed from the first application to the second application, and second identification information, among a plurality of pieces of the second identification information for the plurality of users, for a user of the terminal apparatus;
- and
- managing, in association with each other, the first identification information associated with the first identifier and the second identification information in a case in which the first identifier matches the second identifier.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program used in a computer of a management apparatus that communicates with a plurality of application apparatuses including a first application apparatus providing a first application and a second application apparatus providing a second application, and that issues and manages first identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the first application and second identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the second application, the program making the computer of the management apparatus execute:
- an issuing process of issuing a first identifier associated with the first identification information of a user, to the first application apparatus;
- a receiving process of receiving, from the second application apparatus, a second identifier after the second identifier is passed from the first application to the second application, and second identification information, among a plurality of pieces of the second identification information for the plurality of users, for a user of the terminal apparatus;
- and
- a management process of managing, in association with each other, the first identification information associated with the first identifier and the second identification information in a case in which the first identifier issued in the issuing process matches the second identifier received in the receiving process.
