Abstract

Claims (63)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

acquiring first identification information corresponding to a kigurumi;

acquiring first user identification information corresponding to a first user terminal;

acquiring a number of past acquisitions of the first identification information for each set of the first user identification information; and

outputting performance information relating to the kigurumi based on the number of past acquisitions, the first identification information, and the first user identification information,

wherein a different value is set as the first identification information for each of a plurality of kigurumis,

wherein the performance information includes control information that controls a physical performance of the kigurumi.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring the number of acquisitions of the first identification information within a predetermined period.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring second identification information, which differs from the first identification information, from a second kigurumi; and

outputting the performance information based on a combination of the first identification information and the second identification information.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 3 , further comprising:

outputting the performance information based on the first identification information and the second identification information in a case that an identification time and date of the first identification information and an identification time and date of the second identification information are within a predetermined period.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 3 , further comprising:

outputting different performance information based on the acquisition order of the first identification information and the second identification information.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring rarity information relating to the kigurumi based on the first identification information; and

outputting the performance information based on the rarity information.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring first attribute information relating to the kigurumi based on the first identification information; and

acquiring second attribute information based on the first user identification information; and

outputting the performance information based on the first attribute information and the second attribute information.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the kigurumi comprises a stamp having a plurality of touch portions, further comprising:

acquiring the first identification information by detecting a plurality of contact locations of the touch portions of the stamp using a first user terminal having a touch screen that detects individual contact locations in response to being contacted in a plurality of locations.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:

outputting the performance information to a first user terminal including a display device,

wherein the first user terminal controls the display content of the display device based on the performance information.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:

outputting the performance information to an information terminal provided on the kigurumi based on the first identification information.

11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring second identification information corresponding to a second kigurumi; and

outputting performance information relating to the second kigurumi based on a combination of the second identification information and the first user identification information,

wherein the kigurumi has a substantially identical shape to the second kigurumi,

wherein a type code included in the first identification information is equal to a type code included in the second identification information, and

wherein the performance information output relating the kigurumi differs from the performance information output relating to the second kigurumi.

12 . An information processing device comprising a processor and a memory, wherein

the processor is configured to:

acquire first identification information from a terminal provided on a kigurumi;

acquire first user identification information from a first user terminal;

acquire a number of past acquisitions of the first identification information for each set of the first user identification information; and

output performance information relating to the kigurumi based on the number of past acquisitions, the first identification information, and the first user identification information,

wherein a different value is set as the first identification information for each type of kigurumi or each individual kigurumi,

wherein the performance information includes control information that controls a physical performance of the kigurumi.

13 . An information processing method, comprising:

acquiring first identification information from a terminal provided on a kigurumi;

acquiring first user identification information from a first user terminal;

acquiring a number of past acquisitions of the first identification information for each set of the first user identification information; and

outputting performance information relating to the kigurumi based on the number of past acquisitions, the first identification information, and the first user identification information,

wherein a different value is set as the first identification information for each type of kigurumi or each individual kigurumi,

wherein the performance information includes control information that controls a physical performance of the kigurumi.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

acquiring the number of acquisitions of the first identification information within a predetermined period.

15 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

acquiring second identification information, which differs from the first identification information, from a second kigurumi; and

outputting the performance information based on a combination of the first identification information and the second identification information.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

outputting the performance information based on the first identification information and the second identification information in a case that an identification time and date of the first identification information and an identification time and date of the second identification information are within a predetermined period.

17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

outputting different performance information based on the acquisition order of the first identification information and the second identification information.

18 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

acquiring rarity information relating to the kigurumi based on the first identification information; and

outputting the performance information based on the rarity information.
