Is generated. Then, the control unit 32 compares the generated character string with the received encrypted information. If the generated character string matches the received encrypted information, the control unit 32 determines that the received information is authentic, and proceeds to step S15. On the other hand, if the generated character string does not match the received encrypted information, the control unit 32 determines that the received information is not authentic, and ends the process.

  In step S14, when the received information is authentic, the control unit 32 performs position registration processing of the position information application provided in the position information application server 3 based on the received latitude information and longitude information (step S15). ). In this example, the location information application server 3 provides the “mobile Sengoku era” and performs location registration processing in the location information app. FIG. 12 shows an example of the result screen 7 displayed by the input / output unit 13 of the mobile terminal 1 when the control unit 32 performs the location registration process.

  The result screen 7 is provided to the mobile terminal 1 by the position information application server 3 and is output from the input / output unit 13 of the mobile terminal 1. The result screen 7 indicates that, as a result of the position registration process, the user has registered the position in “Musashi no Kuni” corresponding to the latitude information and the longitude information received by the position information application server 3. Further, the result screen 7 shows that predetermined parameters (population, travel distance, stone height) are changing. The mobile terminal 1 can display the information to the user, and can continuously use the location information application in the location information application server 3 based on an input operation by the user.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the mobile terminal 1 makes a location registration history use request to the location information control server 2 based on the user's input operation, and the location information based on the location registration history database 24 in the location information control server 2. Is transmitted to the location information application server 3 to perform location registration processing, so that location registration history information that has been made in the past by the mobile terminal 1 can be obtained without any location registration processing being performed without the user's knowledge. Can be used in the app.

  Further, since the use conditions of the position registration history information are limited based on the use restriction information of the system management information database 25 in the position information control server 2, the use of the position registration history information according to the individual circumstances of the position information application is used. It is possible to prevent adverse effects on the operation of the location information application and the progress of the game.

  In step S7, the location information control server 2 transmits the station name of the location registration history information, and the mobile terminal 1 replaces the inorganic latitude information and longitude information with the station name that is easy for humans to understand as past location registration history information. Since the list is displayed, the user can recognize the past location registration history information very easily.

  In step S <b> 10, the control unit 22 may acquire latitude information and longitude information related to the station name selected by the mobile terminal 1 based on the station information database 23 instead of the location registration history database 24.

  In step S11, latitude information, longitude information, a station code, and a secret key are used as pre-encryption information. However, this is merely an example, and a character string used as an encryption source character string is For example, the processing date / time data can be added as a character string of the encryption source, and the character string of the encryption source can be only latitude information and secret key, or only longitude information and secret key. it can. In this case, the information transmitted in step S12 is information obtained by removing the secret key from the pre-encryption information and the encrypted information.

  In step S11, the latitude information and the longitude information may be encrypted using the secret key as a common key (password). In this case, in step S12, the communication unit 21 transmits only the encrypted latitude information and longitude information. That is, the communication unit 21 does not transmit plaintext latitude information and longitude information. In step S14, the control unit 32 of the position information application server 3 may decrypt the latitude information and the longitude information using a secret key that is a common key. If the data cannot be properly decrypted, there is a high possibility that the data has been tampered with, and the process ends without performing step S15 because it is not authentic information.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and corrections based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so that there is no logical contradiction, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. .
