Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à des abonnés de téléphones mobiles qui apprécient un jeu permettant de prendre soin d'une créature, ledit jeu étant fourni sur leur téléphone mobile accessible à un système de serveur Web. En réponse à un signal d'entrée de jeu permettant de prendre soin d'une créature qui provient d'un premier téléphone mobile, le système de serveur de jeu Web émet via l'Internet sans fil un germe de créature vers ce premier téléphone mobile et vers un second téléphone mobile respectivement désigné par ledit premier téléphone mobile. Lorsque le premier et le second téléphones mobiles sont connectés via un appel, le jeu permettant de prendre soin d'une créature est activé entre lesdits premier et second téléphones mobiles. Dans ce jeu, l'énergie utilisée pour prendre soin de la créature est calculée en fonction des intervalles entre les appels et/ou de la durée d'un appel entre les deux téléphones. En fonction de la valeur de l'énergie calculée utilisée pour prendre soin de la créature, on détermine la phase de développement de ladite créature. Puis un profil de développement de la créature correspondant à la phase développement déterminée est affichée sur chaque panneau d'affichage des premier et second téléphones. Puis les utilisateurs des premiers et second téléphones prennent soin de la créature par l'intermédiaire de leurs efforts communs via leurs appels.
