Abstract
Progression of a game executed at a mobile terminal is changed in response to the current location of the mobile terminal. A portable telephone set receives a control signal transmitted via radio from a base station controlling the radio area in which the portable telephone set is currently located. Then, the received control signal is demodulated to detect the base station ID code, which is in turn stored in an ID code storage area. The update processing of the base station ID code is successively carried out during the waiting time and a latest base station ID code is stored in the ID code storage area. Then, in the course of the progression of a game, enemy characters to combat, items to be generated, and the branching of the game scenario are controlled in accordance with the value of the base station ID code stored in the ID code storage area.
