Abstract

See full text

A server apparatus, method, and program are provided that are capable of causing information about the real world to be reflected in the virtual world of a game. First, a server apparatus receives a signal including at least one of location information sent from a terminal apparatus or specific point-to-point distance information calculated based on the location information. Next, the server apparatus, based on at least one of the location information or the distance information, calculates a cumulative distance between a plurality of other points through which the terminal apparatus has passed in the real world. Next, the server apparatus sets a reward to be granted to the terminal apparatus in accordance with the cumulative distance. This makes it possible, for example, to cause an online game to be closely correlated with the daily life of the user, and to arouse the interest of users in the online game.
