Matching network game players by giving the perception of being the first to request participation

摘要

A server device receives a request for participation in a network game through a communication line, integrates user information of each user terminal from which the server receives the participation request, generates matching information of each user participating in the same network game to be started at the same time, and notifies the generated matching information to each terminal device. The matching information is different for each terminal device of notification destination so as to be displayed as if the terminal device of the notification destination made the earliest participation request, regardless of order of the participation request.
