PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a host station carry out smooth and attractively a synthetic service offer system to offer various types of information, etc., in a multimedia society by using a secondary pseudo currency which has its value only in a game that is guaranteed by the host station. SOLUTION: A currency-like electronic symbol (secondary pseudo currency) which has its value only in a game that is guaranteed by the host station is used together with another electronic symbol (primary pseudo currency) which has its value only in the system that is guaranteed by the host station and is replaceable with the secondary pseudo currency. The secondary pseudo currency can have plural types of currency-like units in the same host station since the value of currency is defined as a unit to every game software that is offered by the host station. However, the primary pseudo currency has only the single type in principle and basically has no such facility as an electronic currency system. Thus, the pseudo currency can smoothly operate the games as long as it is prepared and managed by the host station and also can have the value equivalent to true cash, although being pseudo, through a game, i.e., a kind or objective consciousness. |
