A party selection screen (FIG. 6) sorted in order is provided.

In FIG. 6, when the sort key 410 is clicked by the player, the sort key 410 is switched to “HP” having the second highest priority after “level”, and the character held by the player is changed to the HP parameter as the sort key (display order determining element). The party selection screen (see FIG. 9) in which characters are arranged in the determined display order is determined by sorting as an example and sorting as character attributes and parameters. As shown in FIG. 4, the value of the HP parameter 560 of the character information is KA3 (“300”)> KA4 (“250”)> KA5 (“200”)> KA6 (“150”)> KA7 (“100”) Since> KA8 (“50”)> KA9 (“30”)> KA1 (“20”)> KA2 (“0”), the character display order is set so that the priority order is higher in this display order. A sorted party selection screen (FIG. 9) is provided.

  In FIG. 9, when the sort key 410 is instructed by the player, the sort key 410 is switched to “attack power” having the next highest priority after “HP”, and the character held by the player is set to the sort key (display order determination) for the attack power parameter. A party selection screen (see FIG. 10) is provided in which the display order is determined by sorting as an example of an element, which is an attribute or parameter of a character), and the characters are arranged in the determined display order. As shown in FIG. 4, the value of the attack power (parameter) 570 of the character information is KA5 (“50”)> KA6 (“40”)> KA7 (“30”)> KA8 (“20”)> KA9 (“ 10 ”) = KA1 (“ 10 ”) = KA2 (“ 10 ”) = KA3 (“ 10 ”)> KA4 (“ 0 ”), so that the priority of the character is increased in this display order. A party selection screen (FIG. 10) in which the display order is sorted is provided.

  In FIG. 10, when the sort key 410 is instructed by the player, the sort key 410 is switched to “recovery power” having the second highest priority after “attack power”, and the character held by the player is set to the recovery key parameter as the sort key (display order). The party selection screen (see FIG. 11) is provided in which the display order is determined by sorting them as an example of a determination element (character attributes and parameters) and the display order is determined. As shown in FIG. 4, the value of the character information resilience (parameter) 580 is KA7 (“45”)> KA8 (“35”)> KA9 (“25”)> KA1 (“15”)> KA2 (“ 5 ”) = KA3 (“ 5 ”) = KA4 (“ 5 ”)> KA5 (“ 0 ”) = KA6 (“ 0 ”), so that the priority of the character is increased in this display order. A party selection screen (FIG. 11) in which the display order is sorted is provided.

  In FIG. 11, when the sort key 410 is clicked by the player, the sort key 410 is switched to “rareness” having the next highest priority after “resilience”, and the rarity parameter of the player possesses the sort key (display order determining element). The party selection screen (see FIG. 12) in which characters are arranged in the determined display order is sorted by sorting them as an example (character attributes and parameters). As shown in FIG. 4, the value of the rarity parameter 519 of the character information is KA9 (“9”)> KA1 (“8”)> KA2 (“7”)> KA3 (“6”)> KA4 (“5”) Since KA5 (“1”) = KA6 (“1”) = KA7 (“1”) = KA8 (“1”), the character display order is set so that the priority order is higher in this display order. A sorted party selection screen (FIG. 12) is provided.

  In the above example, the case where the sort keys are sequentially switched according to the sort key presentation order has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a GUI that displays a plurality of sort keys in a pull-down manner and selects the sort keys may be used. In this case, the display order of the pull-down menu is the sort key presentation order.

2-5. Operation History Information The operation history information acquisition processing unit may acquire information regarding a sort key (an example of a display order determining element) on a selection screen on which a player has selected a character as operation history information. For example, the sort key is switched from “level” → “HP” → “attack power”, and the character that becomes the party member is selected on the screen for selecting “attack power” as the sort key, and a series of operations in which the determination button is pressed is performed. In such a case, the sort key on the selection screen on which the player has selected a character is “attack power”. Therefore, information indicating “attack power” may be acquired as the operation history information of the series of operations.

  In addition, the operation history information acquisition processing unit may acquire information regarding a sort key (an example of a display order determination element) on the selection screen referred to by the player as the operation history information. For example, the sort key is switched from “level” → “HP” → “attack power”, and the character that becomes the party member is selected on the screen for selecting “attack power” as the sort key, and a series of operations in which the determination button is pressed is performed. In such a case, the sort key on the selection screen referred to by the player is “level” → “HP” → “attack power”. Therefore, “attack power” may be acquired as the operation history information of the series of operations. Therefore, information indicating “level”, “HP”, and “attack power” may be acquired as the operation history information of the series of operations.

  In addition, the operation history information acquisition processing unit includes, as the operation history information, information related to a sort key (an example of a display order determination element) on the selection screen where the player has selected a character, Information regarding a sort key (an example of a display order determination element) may be acquired. For example, the sort key is switched from “level” → “HP” → “attack power”, and the character that becomes the party member is selected on the screen for selecting “attack power” as the sort key, and a series of operations in which the determination button is pressed is performed. In the case of the above, information indicating “level: no character selection”, “HP: no character selection”, “attack power: character selection” may be acquired as the operation history information of the series of operations.

  Further, for example, when the sort key is switched from “level” → “HP” → “attack power”, but a series of operations in which the “return” button is pressed without selecting a character, the above series of operations are performed. Information indicating “level: no character selection”, “HP: no character selection”, and “attack power: no character selection” may be acquired as operation history information of the operation.

  In this way, statistical information may also be generated for the sort key referenced by the player when no character is selected.

  FIG. 13 is an example of operation history information stored in the server.

  The server 20 stores operation history information of each player in association with the player identification information of each player. Each player's terminal stores operation history information of the player.

Corresponding to the player identification ID 610 of the player as operation history information 600, the total game time 620, the game start date 630, the number of times the player has selected the character on the selection screen of the sort key level 640, the sort key is level The number of times the player has referred to the selection screen 642, the number of times the player has selected the character on the selection screen having the sort key HP 650, the number of times the player has referred to the selection screen having the sort key HP 650, and the sort key to select the attack power The number of times the player has selected a character 660 on the screen, the sort key is the number of times 662 the player has referred to the attack power selection screen, the sort key is the resilience selection screen 670, and the sort key is the resilience The player will see the selection screen Number 672 and, sort key is the number 680 the player has selected the character selection screen of rarity, sort key information about the number of times 682, such as a selection screen rarity and referenced the player is stored. For example, when a plurality of characters are selected, the number of selections may be the number of characters selected. That is, when the sort key selects three characters on the attack power selection screen, “3” is added to “the number of times the player has selected the character on the selection key is the attack power selection screen” 660. If the sort key only refers to the attack power selection screen, “1” is added to the “number of times the sort key refers to the attack power selection screen by the player” 662. The number of times the character is referred to on the selection screen is a total value of the number of times of selecting the character with reference to the selection screen and the number of times of reference only that refers to the selection screen but does not select the character.

2-6. Change Information Generation Processing The change information generation processing unit may generate statistical information based on operation history information of a plurality of players and generate change information based on the statistical information.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of statistical information generated based on the operation history information.

  Based on the operation history information of a plurality of players (see FIG. 13), the change information generation processing unit determines the display order determining elements (sort keys) “level” “HP” “attack power” “recovery power” “reality”. A total 720 of reference times of a plurality of players and a total 730 of character selection times may be generated as statistical information.

  According to this statistical information, the most frequently selected character is a selection screen in which characters are sorted by “attack”, and the second most frequently selected character is sorted by “resilience”. The screen with the third most frequent selection of characters is a selection screen where characters are sorted by “HP”. The fourth most frequent selection of characters is sorted by “level”. This is the selected screen.

  Therefore, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 8B, the change information generation processing unit changes the order in which the sort keys are presented in the order of “attack power” → “resilience” → “HP” → “level” → “rareness”. Change information may be generated.

  In the above embodiment, the presentation order of the display order determination element (sort key) is determined based on the information related to the display order determination element (character selection count 830 in FIG. 14) on the selection screen where the player has selected the display object. Not limited to this. Information on the display order determining element on the selection screen where the player has selected the display object (character selection count 830 in FIG. 14), and the display order determining element on the selection screen where the player has not selected the display object The presentation order of the display order determination element (sort key) may be determined using both of the information (character selection count 830-reference count 820 in FIG. 14).

  When the change information is generated based on the operation history information, information on the display order determining element (character selection count 830 in FIG. 14) on the selection screen on which the player has selected the display object, and the player displays the display object. In the information regarding the display order determining element in the selection screen in which selection of the character is not performed (character selection count 830-reference count 820 in FIG. 14), the evaluation is performed by changing the weight, and the change information (change application, change Parameter etc.) may be generated.

  For example, the display order determining element (sort key) in descending order of the priority number is obtained by multiplying the number of times of selection only by referring to a predetermined weighting coefficient (for example, 0.1) and subtracting the number of character selections 830 from the priority number. ) Presentation order may be determined. 14 is as follows.

Level priority number = 100− (1000−100) × 0.1 = 10
HP priority number = 150− (900−150) × 0.1 = 75
Priority number of attack power = 400− (850−400) × 0.1 = 355
Resiliency priority = 300− (800−300) × 0.1 = 250
Rarity priority number = 50− (500−50) × 0.1 = 5
Therefore, since “attack power”> “resilience power”>“HP”>“level”> “rareness”, for example, as shown in FIG. 8B, “attack power” → “healing power” → “HP” → “Level” →
Change information for changing the sort key presentation order in the order of “rareness” may be generated.

  When the server 20 receives the login request from the terminal 10, the generated change information may be transmitted if it has not been transmitted to the terminal.

2-7. Change Management Information FIG. 15 is an example of change management information stored in the storage unit of the server 20. As the change management information 602, a transmission management flag 690 and a change flag 692 are stored in association with the player identification ID 610.

  The transmission management flag 690 is a flag for managing the presence / absence of transmission to the terminal, and is set to “ON” after transmission. When the server 20 receives the login request from the terminal 10 and the transmission management flag corresponding to the player identification ID of the terminal is “OFF”, the server 20 transmits the change information to the terminal.

  The change flag 692 is a flag indicating whether or not a change has been made in the terminal according to the change information. The presence or absence of the change is notified from the terminal 10 to the server 20.

2-8. Sort key switching process in the terminal By storing the character information shown in FIG. 4 in the storage unit of the terminal, the sort keys described in FIGS. 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are switched to change the character display order. The process of changing can be performed at the terminal.

  In this way, the game process can proceed without communication with the server until the player selects a character that forms a party and presses the enter button.

2-9. Inquiry about necessity of change In the present embodiment, the server 20 transmits change information to the terminal 10 at a predetermined timing (for example, when logged in). The change processing unit (at least one of 118 in FIG. 2 and 212 in FIG. 3) inquires of the player whether or not to change based on the change information, and receives a response indicating permission based on the change information. The presentation order of a plurality of different display order determining elements on the selection screen is changed. The above processing may be performed on the terminal 10 side, or may be performed in cooperation with the terminal and the server 20.

2-10. Processing for determining presence / absence of change based on operation history information of terminal Further, whether to change based on change information may be determined based on the operation history information of the player at the terminal. The change processing unit (at least one of 118 in FIG. 2 and 212 in FIG. 3) determines that the operation tendency indicated by the operation history information of the player satisfies the conformance criteria for the presentation order of the display order determining element after the change by the change information. In such a case, it may be determined whether to make a change based on the change information.

Specifically, the sort key presentation order is determined based on the operation history information of the player of the terminal. For example, when the player of the terminal is P2, the number of advertisement selections corresponding to the sort key is “attack power” (30)> “resilience” (20)> “HP” (10)> “level” (5)> When “rareness” (0) is set, and the sort key presentation order is changed in descending order of selection, “attack power” → “recovery power” → “HP” → “level” → “rareness”. This is the same as the order of presentation of the sort keys indicated by the change information shown in FIG. 8B. Therefore, the operation tendency indicated by the operation history information of the player P2 indicates the order of presentation of the display order determination elements after the change by the change information. (Fig. 8 (B)
It can be determined that the conformance criteria for

  Also, for example, when the terminal player is P4, the number of advertisement selections corresponding to the sort key is “Recovery” (40)> “Level” (20)> “Attack” (10)> “HP” (0) = “Rarity” (0), and if the sort key presentation order is changed in descending order of selection, “Recovery” → “Level” → “Attack” → “HP” → “Rarity”. This is quite different from the order of presentation of the sort keys indicated by the change information shown in FIG. 8B. Therefore, the operation tendency indicated by the operation history information of the player P4 indicates the order of presentation of the display order determining elements after the change by the change information ( It may be determined that the conformance criteria with respect to FIG. In such a case, the display order of the display order determination element based on the change information is not changed.

3. Processing FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a flow of change information generation processing according to the present embodiment.

  Based on the operation history information of a plurality of players, statistical information regarding the number of selections of the sort key is generated (step S10), and based on the statistical information, change information for changing the order of presentation of the sort keys is generated (step S20). If there is a login request (step S30Y), if the transmission management flag of the player of the requesting terminal is OFF (Y in step S40), the change information is transmitted to the requesting terminal (step S50), and the transmission destination The transmission management flag corresponding to the terminal player is turned ON (step S60).

  When there is a change notification from the terminal (Y in step S70), the change flag corresponding to the player of the destination terminal is turned on (step S80).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of the selection screen providing process of the present embodiment.

  When the server 20 receives the selection screen provision request from the terminal 10 (Y in step S110), if the change flag of the player of the request source terminal is ON (step S120), the server 20 changes the sort key presentation order. (Step S130). Next, sorting is performed based on the selected sort key to determine the display order of the display objects to be selected, and the display objects are displayed according to the determined display order (step S140).

  When there is an instruction to change the sort key (step S150), the sort key is changed according to the set sort key presentation order (step S160). When the selection screen ends with selection (Y in step S170), the terminal 10 transmits the selection content and operation history information to the server (step S180). If the selection screen is terminated without selection (Y in step S190), operation history information is transmitted to the server (step S200).

  The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, terms cited as broad or synonymous terms in the description in the specification or drawings can be replaced with broad or synonymous terms in other descriptions in the specification or drawings.
