Information processing system, information processing method, information processing program, computer-readable recording medium on which information processing program is stored

摘要

Provided is an information processing system with which a new function can be added without altering an application program itself. The information processing system includes: a first execution information obtaining unit configured to obtain first execution information which indicates an execution state of a first execution unit configured to execute an application program; an execution information storing unit configured to store the first execution information; and the first execution unit or a second execution unit configured to execute the application program, in which the first execution unit or the second execution unit uses the stored first execution information to execute the application program.

主权项

1. An information processing system, comprising:
a plurality of physical machines, each having a programmed processor device and a co-operating memory device, and each being in communication with one another and with a virtual machine controller having functionality effected by one or more of the processor and memory devices of the physical machines; a plurality of virtual machines controlled by the virtual machine controller, each having a respective virtually created set of at least a programmed processor device and a co-operating memory device configured to execute a single-player game program, each virtual machine being established on one or more of the physical machines such that functionality of each virtually created processor device and memory device is effected by one of more of the processor devices and memory devices of the physical machines; the virtual machine controller effecting allocation of a first of the virtual machines to a first terminal such that the first terminal can be used to instruct the first virtual machine during execution of the game program by the first virtual machine, and effecting allocation of a second of the virtual machines to a second terminal such that the second terminal can be used to instruct the second virtual machine during execution of the game program by the second virtual machine; the virtual machine controller effecting the obtaining of all or a part of pieces of image information that result from executing the game program by the first and second virtual machines and all or a part of pieces of image information that are generated by executing the game program by the first and second virtual machines and stored in a storing unit that is not a signal; the virtual machine controller effecting the transmitting, to the first terminal, upon instruction from the first terminal, the all or the part of pieces of image information that result from executing the game program by the first and second virtual machines, and the transmitting, to the second terminal, upon instruction from the second terminal, the all or the part of pieces of image information that are generated by executing the game program by the first and second virtual machines and stored in the storing unit; the virtual machine controller effecting the execution of the game program on each virtual machine in synchronization with one another to enable a multi-player competition of a user of the first terminal playing the single-player game against a user of the second terminal playing the single-player game, such synchronization including time counting and checkpoint detection.
