Abstract

Provided is a non-transitory computer readable medium including an object linking program causing a server to implement, in a case where one of a real space and a virtual space augmented from the real space is a first space, and the other is a second space, a change information obtaining function of obtaining change information indicating a change in parameter or form of a first object in the first space, and a change linking processing function of performing a process causing a parameter or a form of one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object after change based on the change information.

Claims (32)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an object linking program which, when executed, causes a server to perform functions comprising:

obtaining change information indicating a change in parameter or form of a first object in a first space, the first space being one of a real space and a virtual space augmented from the real space; and

causing a parameter or a form of one or more second objects in a second space to correspond to the first object after the change based on the change information, the second space being the other of the real space and the virtual space, wherein

causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object comprises causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object after the change if using a third object attached to the first object in the first space changes the parameter or the form of the first object.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object comprises causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object after the change if a numerical value related to the change in parameter or form of the first object is greater than a predetermined value.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the first space is the real space,

the second space is the virtual space, and

causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object comprises outputting information indicating the one or more second objects having the parameter or the form corresponding to the first object after the change based on the change information.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the first space is the real space,

the second space is the virtual space,

causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object comprises outputting information indicating an object for change, and

the object for change is configured to cause a base object in the second space to change into the second object having the parameter or the form corresponding to the first object after the change.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the first space is the virtual space,

the second space is the real space, and

causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object comprises outputting command information causing a user to obtain the one or more second objects having the parameter or the form corresponding to the first object after the change based on the change information.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 5 , wherein the command information is configured to cause the user to obtain an object for change, and the object for change is configured to cause a base object in the second space to change into the second object having the parameter or the form corresponding to the first object after the change.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the functions further comprise changing information indicating an effect of the change in the parameter or the form of the first object or an effect of a change in the parameter or the form of the second object based on predetermined information.

8. An object linking system, comprising:

a communication network;

a server;

a user terminal; and

a processor configured to:

obtain change information indicating a change in a parameter or a form of a first object in a first space, the first space being one of a real space and a virtual space augmented from the real space; and

cause a parameter or a form of one or more second objects in a second space to correspond to the first object after the change based on the change information, the second space being the other of the real space and the virtual space, wherein

causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object comprises causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object after the change if using a third object attached to the first object in the first space changes the parameter or the form of the first object.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an object linking program which, when executed, causes a user terminal to perform:

obtaining change information indicating a change in a parameter or a form of a first object in a first space, the first space being one of a real space and a virtual space augmented from the real space; and

causing a parameter or a form of one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object after the change based on the change information, the second space being the other of the real space and the virtual space, wherein

causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object comprises causing the parameter or the form of the one or more second objects in the second space to correspond to the first object after the change if using a third object attached to the first object in the first space changes the parameter or the form of the first object.
