MANAGEMENT DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM THEREFOR, APPLICATION SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR ASSOCIATING IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION

摘要

A management server issues a game-link identifier associated with friend network identification information corresponding to an inviting game, and sends the game-link identifier to a terminal device corresponding to the friend network identification information. In the terminal device, the game-link identifier is delivered from the inviting game to an invited game, and the delivered game-link identifier and identification information of an inviting user corresponding to the invited game are sent to the management server by the invited game program. In the management server, already issued game-link identifiers are retrieved, and when there is a game-link identifier that matches the received game-link identifier, the management server links the friend network identification information corresponding to the invited game associated with the received game-link identifier to the friend network identification information corresponding to the inviting game associated with the issued game-link identifier.
