  Referring to FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the game system 10 includes at least user terminals (information terminals) 20 and 30 and a server (game server, game server device) 40. The user terminals 20 and 30 and the server 40 are connected to each other via the computer network 13 and the mobile communication network 14, and are executed by a program (browsing program or the like) executed on the user terminals 20 and 30 and the server. The game program is communicated using a communication protocol such as a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).

<User terminal>
The user terminals 20 and 30 can set a game according to a user's request, or can proceed with a game individually. The user terminals 20 and 30 are a first user terminal (game setter terminal) 20 and a second user terminal (player terminal). 30). The first and second user terminals 20 and 30 are respectively a terminal communication unit 21 and 31, a terminal storage unit 22 and 32, a terminal operation unit 23 and 33, a terminal display unit 24 and 34, and a terminal processing unit 25. , 35. The user terminals 20 and 30 execute game setting and progress according to the operation of the terminal operation units (buttons, screen notation, etc.) 23 and 33 by the users (game setter and player). The first user terminal 20 and the second user terminal 30 are common as client devices that execute a game program downloaded from the server 40. Therefore, the “game setting mode” and the “game play mode” can be selected after the game application startup screen (see FIG. 6B), and all of the user terminals 20 and 30 are game setter terminals. Or it can be a player terminal. In the present embodiment, a multifunctional mobile phone (smart phone) having a touch panel is assumed as the user terminals 20 and 30, but a notebook personal computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable game machine, a tablet PC, or the like. There may be. Since the first user terminal 20 is a game setter terminal, there is one, but since the second user terminal 30 is possessed by each player or team participating in the game, one or a plurality of the first user terminals 20 are required.

  The terminal communication units 21 and 31 have a communication interface circuit for connecting a terminal to the mobile communication network 14. The terminal communication units 21 and 31 send data received from the server 40 via the computer network 13 and the mobile communication network 14 to the terminal processing units 25 and 35. Also, the data received from the terminal processing units 25 and 35 is transmitted to the server 40 via the mobile communication network 14 and the computer network 13. Any network can be used as the computer network 13 as long as it allows communication between computers. Here, the Internet is used. Any mobile communication network 14 can be used as long as it enables communication of a computer as a mobile communication device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, and a tablet terminal.

  The terminal storage units 22 and 32 include, for example, at least one of a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, and an optical disk. The terminal storage units 22 and 32 store various programs and data used for controlling the user terminals 20 and 30. For example, the terminal storage units 22 and 32 perform display based on the user identification numbers (user IDs) of the user terminals 20 and 30, user authentication data, display data regarding the progress of the game received from the server 40, and the display data. The program etc. are memorized. Furthermore, the terminal storage units 22 and 32 may temporarily store temporary data related to predetermined processing.

  The terminal processing units 25 and 35 are composed of one or a plurality of processors and their peripheral circuits, and can execute program processing in the game setting mode and the game play mode. The terminal processing units 25 and 35 include the map creation means 5 and hint information creation means 6 as the game setting mode, and the object search order determination means 7, the first condition determination means 8, and the second condition determination means as the game play mode. 9.

  The object search order determination means 7 of the terminal processing units 25 and 35 determines an order (order) for searching for an object placed on the field 11 for each player who participated in the game. The search order for the object may be determined at random, or may be determined in advance for each player by designating a player to which the game setter participates when creating the map. Further, it is not necessary to determine the search order. In this case, the terminal processing unit 35 determines that the image data of all the objects finally match regardless of the order in which the objects are searched and photographed. , It is considered that the first condition has been cleared.

  The first condition determination means 8 of the terminal processing units 25 and 35 is a means for determining whether or not each player has cleared the first condition, which is one of the game clear conditions, and is arranged on the field. The target object photographed with the camera is determined based on the image data to determine whether the target object is the same as the set target object. It is judged as nonconforming. For example, when a plurality of objects are arranged on the field 11, the conformity / non-conformity is determined for each object, and each conforming object is photographed and image data is stored, and the conformity determination is performed. It is considered that the mission has been cleared by receiving, and it is determined that the first condition is cleared when the missions related to all the objects are achieved.

  As long as the first condition judging means 8 can judge conformity / non-conformity, for example, an object used for normal orienteering such as an electronic label, a flag, a key holder, a ball, a toy, and an ornament is adopted. You can also In the present embodiment, an AR marker 51A is used as an object. By using an AR marker that displays acquired data (for example, a 3D model) as an object, it is easier to determine conformity / nonconformity in the terminal processing unit 35 than using an entity as an object. Referring to FIGS. 12A and 12B, specifically, when the AR marker paper 51 on which the AR marker 51A is printed is placed in the field 11 and the player finds it, the second user terminal 30 The AR camera is activated to capture the AR marker 51A and store the image data. Thus, when the AR marker is used as the object, for example, the 3D model 57 appears as the acquisition data on the display screen of the second user terminal 30 based on the acquisition data, so that the entertainment property is improved. . In the present embodiment, the displayed 3D model 57 is a designed chick, and the player proceeds with the game aiming to acquire the 3D model 57. By adopting “Chick-chan” etc., the game contents can be clearly communicated to the user.

  The second condition determination means 9 of the terminal processing units 25 and 35 is a means for determining whether or not each player has cleared the second condition, which is another condition for clearing the game. It is determined whether or not the number of steps in the step counter 85 (see FIG. 11) has reached the set number of steps. As will be described later, the second condition determination means 9 is processed after the first condition is cleared, and when the number of steps of the step counter 85 reaches the set number of steps, the second condition determination unit 9 The game is cleared if the conditions are met. On the other hand, even if the first condition is cleared, if the number of steps in the step counter 85 has not reached the set number of steps, a display indicating that the second condition is not satisfied is displayed on the terminal display unit 34. The player needs to move on the field until the number of steps in the step counter 85 reaches the set number of steps.

  The terminal operation units 23 and 33 may be any device as long as the user terminals 20 and 30 can be operated, such as a touch pad and a keyboard. As the terminal display units 24 and 34, any known device can be used as long as it is a device capable of displaying a game screen, and examples thereof include a liquid crystal display and an organic EL display.

On the other hand, the items 72-75 (indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure) for which the related AR marker has not yet been found by the player are displayed so as to float transparently in the background. When the matching is determined based on the image data in which the marker is found and the AR marker is photographed, it is determined that the marker is suitable. As in the item 71, the outline is clearly projected. Therefore, referring to FIG. 13, in the game clear screen 703, all items are indicated by solid lines.

  In the game screen, the “return to title screen icon 81” located in the upper left, the “skip confirmation icon 82” located in the upper right, the “AR camera icon 83” located in the lower right, the lower left, “An icon 84 for displaying a hint video on the entire screen” is arranged.

  When the player newly selects a map for playing the game, the game screen 700 is switched to the title screen by long-pressing the icon 81 (for example, for 5 seconds). In addition, the player can move to a skip confirmation screen (not shown) by touching the icon 82 while the game is in progress, and can skip the target items 71-75. In addition, the player can play the hint video as the hint information 56 on the entire screen of the terminal display unit 34 by touching the lower left icon 84 as many times as the game is in progress. Further, when the AR marker is found in the field 11, the AR marker located at the lower right can be touched to activate the AR camera of the second user terminal 30 and photograph the AR marker.

  The second user terminal 30 sets the order of the AR marker to be acquired from the plurality of AR marker information arranged in the field 11 (S204). The step counter of the second user terminal 30 is set to 0 (S205), the number of AR marker searches is set to N (the number set by the game setter) (S206), and the number of discovered AR markers is set to 0. Setting is made (S207). As described above, the game is started for each player by making various settings according to the map information received by the second user terminal 30 (S208). Simultaneously with the start of the game, the pedometer of the second user terminal 30 is turned on, and when the player moves, the number of steps is counted and displayed on the step count counter 85 located at the center of the screen (S209).

  After the game starts, the player moves freely on the field 11 to search for the AR marker. When the player finds the AR marker paper 51-55 on the field 11, the player touches the icon 83 on the game screen 700 to activate the AR camera and shoots the AR marker (S212). On the other hand, when the player cannot find the AR marker even after the required time has elapsed, the player can play the hint video by touching the icon 84 to obtain the hint (S210, S211). As a result of checking the hint video, if the AR marker can be found, the icon 83 is touched to activate the AR camera, and the AR marker is photographed (S212).

  Referring to FIGS. 12A and 12B, when the player finds the AR marker paper 51 on the AR camera startup screen 300 and shoots the AR marker 51 </ b> A, the screen of the second user terminal 30 displays the AR marker 51 </ b> A. The 3D model 57 is displayed so as to protrude from the marker 51A. The item 71 is, for example, a pink and floral egg design, and the 3D model 57 associated therewith has a pink chick design that floats with the floral background. It can also be confirmed in the image data that the AR marker 51A related to is found. In this way, the 3D model of the AR marker that has a design corresponding to the color and design of each item exhibits the design and story characteristics of each other, and the player's curiosity and sense of accomplishment. Can be increased.

(First condition determining means)
It is determined whether the image data captured by the AR camera matches the first AR marker of the order in the first condition determining means 8 of the terminal processing unit 35 of the second user terminal 30 (S213). If it is determined that the target AR marker is found to be suitable, the number of AR markers that have been found is incremented by one and recorded in the terminal storage unit 32 (S214). N) (S215), and if it is determined that the total number has not been reached, the fact that the terminal display unit 34 is suitable for the screen and that the first mission has been cleared, The display indicating that the next AR marker is to be searched is displayed on the terminal display unit 34 of the two-user terminal 30 (S216). Such a display can be replaced by notifying the player of the next AR marker by clearly displaying the outline of the item 71-75 in which the AR marker is found on the game screen 700, for example.

  On the other hand, when the terminal processing unit 35 determines that the target AR marker is incompatible, the second user terminal 30 is notified that it is incompatible and the mission has not been achieved (S217). The terminal display unit 34 of the user terminal 30 displays that the AR marker is incompatible. The player who confirmed the display continues searching on the field 11 until the target AR marker is found.

  As described above, the player searches for the target AR marker in accordance with the set order while referring to the hint information 56 and shoots it with the AR camera, and receives the determination of conformity / nonconformity of the photo data. If it is determined that it matches, the next AR marker is searched. If it is determined as non-conforming, the search is continued until a suitable AR marker is found. When the player finds AR markers according to the order one after another and finally the total number of found AR markers reaches the set number (N) of AR markers, the terminal display unit of the second user terminal 30 At 34, the completion of the final mission (first condition clear) related to the last AR marker is displayed (S218).

(Second condition determining means)
At the same time that the final mission is displayed, it is determined whether or not the counted number of steps has reached the set number of steps. If the counted number of steps has reached the set number of steps (for example, the set number of steps is 5000 steps) If the transmitted step count is 5000 steps or more) (S219), the step counter 85 of the second user terminal 30 is stopped (S220) and the second condition is cleared on the terminal display unit 34. Is displayed (S221), and the game is over. The player can determine the game order so that the time required from the start of the game to the end of the game is compared with other players, and the one with the shorter play time is given priority. Further, when determining the ranking, for example, the result of the step count counter 85 can be used as an evaluation target, and a rule can be determined between players so that not only the play time but also the player who has counted more steps is given priority.

  On the other hand, when the number of steps of the second user terminal 30 is equal to or less than the set number of steps, a shortage of steps is displayed on the terminal display unit 34 of the second user terminal 30 (S222). The player moves on the field 11 until the step counter 85 reaches the set number of steps, and when it is determined that the display of the step counter 85 has reached the set number of steps (S223), the stop of the step counter is stopped and the terminal The display unit 34 displays that the second condition has been cleared, and the game end (S224) is reached.
