Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing device, a movement route selection method, and a movement route selection program.

  In recent years, information processing devices including a touch panel display have become widespread, and for example, a game has been developed in which a user operates a touch panel display with a finger to select a moving path of an object such as a character.

  Patent Document 1 describes an object movement control device that moves an object displayed on a screen. In the object movement control device described in Patent Document 1, a player touches (slides or clicks) the touch panel with a stick to draw, correct, or randomly determine the movement path of the object. When the moving route of the object is determined and a point on the moving route is clicked, the object moves to the clicked position according to the moving route.

  However, in the method in which the user draws the movement route of the object like the object movement control device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the user makes a mistake in the movement route, it is necessary to redraw the movement route. . Further, when the touch panel display is small, it may be difficult to draw the movement route itself. As described above, the object movement control device described in Patent Document 1 lacks the convenience of selecting the movement route of the object.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an information processing device, a movement route selection method, and a movement route selection program that allow a user to more easily select a movement route. .

  In order to solve the above problems, the information processing apparatus, the movement route selection method, and the movement route selection program of the present invention employ the following means.

  In order to solve the above problems, an “information processing device” according to one aspect of the present invention includes a moving route deriving unit that derives a moving route satisfying a predetermined condition from a starting point displayed on a touch panel display, and the touch panel display. And a display control unit that causes the touch panel display to display the movement path corresponding to the movement position of the indicator from the reference position, with the position where the indicator contacts as the reference position. This allows the user to select the travel route more easily.

  In order to solve the above problems, a “moving route selecting method” according to one aspect of the present invention includes a first step of deriving a moving route satisfying a predetermined condition from a starting point displayed on a touch panel display, and the touch panel display. And a second step of displaying the movement path corresponding to the movement position of the indicator from the reference position on the touch panel display, with the position where the indicator comes into contact with the reference position. This allows the user to select the travel route more easily.

  In order to solve the above problems, the “movement route selection program” according to one aspect of the present invention causes a computer to be a movement route derivation unit that derives a movement route satisfying a predetermined condition from a starting point displayed on a touch panel display. The display control means causes the touch panel display to display the movement path corresponding to the movement position of the indicator from the reference position, with the position where the indicator touches the touch panel display as a reference position. This allows the user to select the travel route more easily.

  Various technical limitations may be added to the above-mentioned “information processing device”, as exemplified below. Further, a technical limitation to the same effect may be added to the processing steps executed by the “moving route selecting method” or the function of the “moving route selecting program”.

  The display control means causes the touch panel display to display a direction instruction image based on a straight line connecting the reference position and the movement position, and causes the touch panel display to display the movement route corresponding to the direction of the direction instruction image. As a result, the user can easily recognize the movement route selected by the user.

  A movement route determination means is provided for determining the movement route displayed when the indicator is separated from the touch panel display, as the movement route selected by the user. Thereby, the user can easily select and determine the moving route by one continuous operation.

  The display control means includes area dividing means for dividing an area including the movement path into a plurality of divided areas for each movement path, and the display control means includes the movement included in the division area according to the movement position from the reference position. The route is displayed on the touch panel display. Accordingly, the information processing device can easily specify the movement route selected by the user.

  Area dividing means for dividing an area including the movement route such that a plurality of branch routes generated from the predetermined branch point in the movement route are different division regions; and the branch route generated from the predetermined branch point. When the arrival point passing through the branch route is included in the divided area that is different from the arrival point, the correction that corrects the arrival point value indicating the position of the arrival point such that the arrival point is included in the divided area that includes the branch route Means, and an arrival point identification means for identifying the arrival point indicated by the arrival point value corresponding to the movement position of the indicator from the reference position, wherein the display control means includes the arrival point identification The movement path to the arrival point specified by the means is displayed on the touch panel display. This allows the user to more intuitively select the moving route.

  The display control means causes the touch panel display to display a game board image formed by a plurality of squares in which pieces move, the starting point is the position of the piece, and the predetermined condition is that the piece is once It is the maximum number of squares that can be moved to. This allows the information processing apparatus to easily derive the movement route in a game in which pieces move in squares.

  A moving amount determination means for determining the moving amount of the frame after determining the moving path of the frame is provided. As a result, an uncertain factor different from the conventional one occurs in the game in which the frame moves the square, and the user can feel a new playability.

  The display control means displays an object on which a plurality of different numbers are displayed on the touch panel display, and the movement amount determination means starts changing the display state of the numbers of the object after the movement path of the frame is determined. Then, the movement amount of the frame is determined based on the number shown when the change in the display state of the object is stopped. This allows the information processing apparatus to easily determine the amount of movement of a piece in a game in which the piece moves across a square.

The display control means displays a plurality of the objects on the touch panel display,
The movement amount determining means determines the movement amount of the frame based on the number indicated by the object selected by the user among the plurality of objects. As a result, the uncertainties in the game in which the pieces move on the square are alleviated, and the user can easily make and execute a strategy for advancing the game.

  According to the present invention, there is an effect that a user can select a movement route more easily.

[1-2. Sugoroku Game]
In the mobile terminal 10 according to the present embodiment, a Sugoroku game application for executing a Sugoroku game is stored in the auxiliary storage unit 28.

[1-2-1. Overview of Sugoroku Game]
3 and 4 are schematic diagrams of the Sugoroku game board image 40 displayed on the screen 14 when the user plays the Sugoroku game.

  The Sugoroku game board image 40 according to the present embodiment is formed by a plurality of squares 42 on which the pieces 41 move. As an example, the masses 42 are arranged in a two-dimensional shape (planar shape), but may be arranged in a three-dimensional shape (three-dimensional shape). The three-dimensional Sugoroku game image 40 has, for example, an adjacent square 42 with a step in the vertical direction. Further, a region where the mass 42 is arranged may be provided with a region where the mass 42 is not arranged. The area in which the masses 42 according to the present embodiment are arranged is a flat area. The plane area according to the present embodiment is an area including the movement path 43 of the top 41, and is a plane viewed from above the Sugoroku game board image 40. That is, even if the square 42 forming the Sugoroku game board image 40 has a step in the up-down direction, the Sugoroku game board image 40 is treated as a flat area when viewed from above. In the present embodiment, the plane area is an area parallel to the screen 14.

  The movement path 43 is a path along which the top 41 can move from the current position. Specifically, the movement route 43 is a route connecting a starting point (starting point) which is the current position of the frame 41 and an ending point (arrival point) which is a position where the frame 41 can reach at one time. In the following description, the moving route 43 will be referred to as the route 43.

  Further, the piece 41 is, for example, a character of the Sugoroku game, and the character grows in ability and the like as the Sugoroku game progresses. The position of the top 41 in FIGS. 3 and 4 corresponds to the starting point in the derivation of the route 43 whose details will be described later.

  In the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, the route 43 from the current position of the top 41 is derived. When a plurality of routes 43 through which the top 41 can move are derived, as shown in the examples of FIGS. 3 and 4, the state of contact of the user's finger with the screen 14 (hereinafter also referred to as “touch operation”) is determined. The route 43 is displayed on the screen 14. Then, in the Sugoroku game, after the user determines the route 43 of the top 41, the number of movements of the top 41 is determined and the top 41 is moved.

  When the user determines the route 43 of his / her frame 41, the user touches the screen 14 with a finger and moves the finger on the screen 14. An arrow UI (User Interface) 44 corresponding to such a user's touch operation is displayed on the screen 14, and a route 43 corresponding to the direction of the arrow UI 44 is displayed on the screen 14. The display of the route 43 is to highlight the square 42 forming the route 43 so that it can be distinguished from the square 42 not forming the route 43. In the examples of FIGS. 3 and 4, an array of continuous masses 42 hatched with diagonal lines is shown as a route 43.

  The user switches the route 43 displayed on the screen 14 and selects the route 43 by moving the finger on the screen 14 to change the direction of the arrow UI 44. Then, the route 43 displayed on the screen 14 when the user separates the finger from the screen 14 (hereinafter referred to as “touch-off”) is determined as the route 43 selected by the user.

  In the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, after the user determines the route 43 of the top 41, the dice object 45, which is an object in which a plurality of different numbers are displayed, is displayed on the screen 14, and the dice object 45 is rotated (see FIG. 4). Then, the piece 41 moves the square 42 on the route 43 determined by the user by the number corresponding to the outcome of the dice object 45.

  The derivation of the route 43 of the frame 41, the route selection by the user, and the movement of the frame 41 are collectively referred to as a frame movement process.

  Further, the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment is an online game, and by connecting a plurality of mobile terminals 10 to a network, a plurality of users can play simultaneously (hereinafter referred to as “multiplayer play”). In the multi-player play, as an example, the same Sugoroku game board image 40 is displayed on the screen 14 of the mobile terminal 10 of each user. In the examples of FIGS. 3 and 4, one frame 41 is displayed, but in the case of multiplayer play, the frame 41 for each user who plays is displayed.

  In the multiplayer play, the order in which the user moves his / her piece 41 (hereinafter referred to as “turn”) is predetermined. The user selects the route of the piece 41 and moves the piece 41 in his turn.

  In the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, an event may be set in the square 42. When the piece 41 stops or passes through the square 42 to which the event is set, the event is executed. Further, depending on the user's game state, a square 42 in which the specific piece 41 cannot be stopped or passed may be set, or a square 42 in which the specific piece 41 can be stopped or passed may be set. In addition, an event in which an enemy character appears and the enemy character is defeated may be performed in the Sugoroku game.

  Furthermore, in the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, for example, a specific mission is required to be completed as a condition for clearing the game. The condition for clearing the game is not limited, and the goal that is the final reaching point of the top 41 or the acquisition of a predetermined score may be set as the condition for clearing the game. Further, in the Sugoroku game, although the user performs a specific event or mission, the concept of clear game clear is not required.

[1-2-2. Derivation of route]
In the frame moving process, a route 43 satisfying a predetermined condition from the starting point of the frame 41 displayed on the screen 14 is derived. The starting point is the current position of the top 41 that is the target of the derivation of the route 43. The predetermined condition is the maximum value of the number of cells that the top 41 can move in one turn (hereinafter referred to as the “number of cells that can be moved”). As a result, in a Sugoroku game in which pieces move, it is possible to derive a movement route by a simple process.

  The number of movable squares according to this embodiment is 6 squares as an example. Further, as the predetermined condition, a predetermined waypoint 48 through which the top 41 passes may be set as shown in FIG. Further, as the predetermined condition, a predetermined route (a part of the route 43) through which the top 41 passes may be set.

  In the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, all routes 43 that can be moved from the current position of the frame 41 by the movable mass number are derived. Note that the method of deriving the route 43 may be, for example, brute force derivation of the route 43, and is not limited.

  The route 43 may be derived when the turn of the top 41 (user) to be derived comes, or after the turn of the top 41 (user) to be derived ends. It may be performed until the next turn is reached, for example, while another user's turn is being executed.

[1-2-3. Route selection by arrow UI]
In the frame movement processing, the position where the user's finger touches the screen 14 after the route 43 is derived is set as the reference position 46A (see FIG. 3), and the route 43 corresponding to the finger movement position 46B from the reference position 46A is displayed on the screen 14. Display it. That is, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the route 43 corresponding to the direction of the arrow UI 44 is displayed on the screen 14 as described above. The reference position 46A according to the present embodiment is a position serving as a starting point of a slide operation described below as an example. In addition, the reference position 46A is not limited to this, and may be the first position after a plurality of consecutive touch operations (for example, two times).

  The arrow UI 44 is a direction indicating image based on a straight line (hereinafter, referred to as “two-point straight line”) 46C connecting the reference position 46A and the movement position 46B. The arrow UI 44, which is a direction instruction image, is, for example, an image in which one end of a straight line is in the shape of an arrow, and allows the user to recognize the movement of the finger that is slidingly operated from the reference position 46A. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the arrow UI 44 according to the present embodiment extends from the reference position 46A toward the moving position 46B (pulling direction) with the reference position 46A as the tip. That is, the tip direction of the arrow UI 44 is the direction opposite to the moving direction of the finger with respect to the reference position 46A.

  The reference position 46A does not change until the user touches off the finger in one route selection. On the other hand, the moving position 46B changes according to the slide operation in which the user moves his / her finger on the screen 14. That is, in the arrow UI 44 according to the present embodiment, the tip position of the arrow does not change, and the rear end position of the arrow changes according to the user's slide operation. Although the reference position 46A, the movement position 46B and the straight line between two points 46C are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, they are not displayed on the screen 14 in the actual Sugoroku game.

  Then, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the route 43 corresponding to the direction of the arrow UI 44 is displayed on the screen 14 as the route 43 currently selected by the user, out of the derived plurality of routes 43. Therefore, even if a plurality of routes 43 are derived, the route 43 displayed on the screen 14 is one route 43 currently selected by the user. When selecting another route 43, the user moves the finger touching the screen 14 to change the direction of the arrow UI 44. As a result, the other route 43 is displayed on the screen 14.

  In this way, the user can easily select the route 43 of the top 41 by moving the finger on the basis of the position where the screen 14 is first touched with the finger. Further, in the frame moving process, the arrow UI44 based on the two-point straight line 46C connecting the reference position 46A and the moving position 46B is displayed on the screen 14, and the route 43 corresponding to the direction of the arrow UI44 is displayed on the screen 14. The user can easily recognize the route 43 selected by the user, and the user can more easily select the route 43 of the frame 41.

  Then, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the route 43 displayed when the user's finger touches off the screen 14 is determined as the route 43 selected by the user. That is, the user can select the route 43 by sliding the finger touching the screen 14 and touch the finger off the screen 14 to make the selection. Therefore, the user can easily select and determine the route 43 by one continuous operation.

  Here, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the processing performed by the frame movement processing in the user's route selection will be specifically described.

  In the frame moving process, the plane area including the starting point of the frame 41 is divided into a plurality of divided areas 47 for each route 43. That is, the divided area 47 is a flat area divided into a plurality of areas corresponding to the respective routes 43. As an example, the divided area 47 is defined by a central angle centered on the current position of the top 41. As described above, the central angle indicates the range of the divided area 47. For example, the center angle of the non-divided plane area is 360 °, and the division area 47 is a fan shape defined by the center angle of less than 360 degrees (for example, 180 degrees when the plane area is divided into two). . Then, in the frame movement process, the movement position 46B from the reference position 46A, that is, the route 43 included in the divided area 47 corresponding to the direction of the arrow UI 44 is displayed on the screen 14.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the route 43A is included in the divided area 47A, and the route 43B is included in the divided area 47B. When the user changes the direction of the arrow UI 44 to the arrow UI44A, the arrow UI44A faces the direction of the divided area 47B, so that the user has selected the route 43B. On the other hand, when the user changes the direction of the arrow UI44 to the arrow UI44B, the arrow UI44B faces the direction of the divided area 47A, so that the user has selected the route 43A.

  Here, a method of determining the divided area 47 including the route 43 by the frame moving process will be described. First, in the frame moving process, the plane area is divided into two with the same size. Then, when the derived route 43 is included in the divided region 47 divided into two, the frame movement processing sets the divided region 47 as a divided region 47 corresponding to the route 43. Further, when the divided area 47 includes a plurality of routes 43, the frame movement processing further divides the divided area 47 and determines the divided area 47 corresponding to the route 43. In this way, in the frame movement process, the plane area is divided stepwise, and one route 43 is associated with one divided area 47.

  Therefore, when there are three derived routes 43, the divided area 47 is divided into three parts according to the route 43 as shown in FIG. 6A, and when there are four derived routes 43, FIG. ), The divided area 47 is divided into four according to the route.

  The range of the divided area 47 according to the present embodiment is determined by, for example, the central angle centered on the current position of the top 41 as described above. A predetermined lower limit value is set for the central angle of each divided region 47. The lower limit value of the divided area 47 is set in advance, for example, in consideration of the difficulty of the route selection by the user using the arrow UI 44. That is, when many routes 43 are derived and the lower limit value is small, the route 43 displayed on the screen 14 may be switched even if the user slightly changes the direction of the arrow UI 44, and the user desires the desired route 43. It becomes difficult to select Therefore, the lower limit of the central angle of the divided region 47 is set, so that the route 43 is prevented from being specified in the narrow central angle range, and the route 43 is easily selected.

  Further, by setting the lower limit value in the divided area 47, one divided area 47 may include a plurality of routes 43. Therefore, when a plurality of routes 43 are included in the divided area 47 whose central angle is the lower limit value, as an example, the route 43 having a predetermined high priority is displayed on the screen 14 so that the user can select it. . For example, a route 43 including a square 42 in which a predetermined object (item) exists or a route 43 including a square 42 in which a predetermined object (enemy character, obstacle) does not exist is set as a high priority route 43. .

  As described above, the plane area is divided into a plurality of divided areas 47 for each route 43, and the route 43 included in the divided area 47 corresponding to the direction of the arrow UI 44 is displayed on the screen 14. The route 43 selected by the user's touch operation can be easily specified.

  In the examples of FIGS. 5 and 6, the plane area is circular, but the plane area may be another shape such as a rectangle if the current position of the top 41 is the center. Further, the size (diameter) of the plane area is not particularly limited as long as it is a size including all the derived routes 43.

  Further, the selectable route 43 may change according to the distance (hereinafter referred to as “moving distance”) from the reference position 46A of the finger as the indicator to the moving position 46B. For example, the selectable route 43 may increase as the moving distance increases, and the selectable route 43 may decrease as the moving distance decreases. In addition, when there is an obstacle on the route 43 and the moving distance is equal to or more than a predetermined value, the route 43 beyond the obstacle may be selectable. In addition, when a plurality of routes 43 are included in the divided area 47 whose central angle is the lower limit value, the selectable routes 43 may be changed by changing the moving distance.

[1-2-4. Movement of pieces by roll of dice object]
In the frame movement process according to this embodiment, the movement amount of the frame 41 is determined after the route 43 of the frame 41 is determined by the user. That is, the user selects the route 43 while the movement amount of the frame 41 is uncertain, and then determines the movement amount of the frame 41. As a result, an uncertain factor different from the conventional one occurs in the Sugoroku game, and the user feels a new playability.

  The dice object 45 according to the present embodiment is, for example, a regular hexahedron, and numbers 1 to 6 are displayed on each surface. The dice object 45 may be a polyhedron other than the regular hexahedron. Further, in the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, three dice objects 45 are displayed as an example as shown in FIG. 4, but the number of dice objects 45 is not limited to this, and may be one or more. .

  In the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, after the route 43 of the frame 41 is determined, the change of the display state of the numbers of the dice objects 45 is started. That is, the dice object 45 rotates without the user performing any other operation after the route 43 of the top 41 is determined. Then, in the frame movement process, the movement amount of the frame 41 is determined based on the number shown when the change in the display state of the dice object 45 is stopped, that is, when the rotation of the dice object 45 is stopped. This allows the frame movement process to easily determine the movement amount of the frame 41.

  The result of the dice object 45 according to the present embodiment, that is, the numerical value indicating the movement amount of the top 41 is randomly determined. Therefore, the process of determining the movement amount of the top 41 by the roll of the dice object 45 has a strong uncertain factor. Therefore, in the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, the movement amount of the top 41 is determined based on the number indicated by the dice object 45 selected by the user among the plurality of dice objects 45. In the sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, the number of dice objects 45 that can be selected by the user is one, but the number is not limited to this, and a plurality of dice objects 45 may be selectable. When the user selects a plurality of dice objects 45, the total value of the numbers indicated by the selected dice objects 45 may be determined as the movement amount, or the total value of the numbers indicated by all the dice objects 45 may be determined as the movement amount. May be determined.

  As described above, in the Sugoroku game according to the present embodiment, the user himself selects one of the dice objects 45 as the movement amount of the top 41, so that the uncertain factor in the Sugoroku game is alleviated, and the user can This makes it easier to set up and execute a strategy for advancing the game.

  In addition, the numerical value of the roll of the dice object 45 that the user did not select as the movement amount of the top 41 may be used for other purposes. This usage can be used as a moving amount that is not selected by the user, for example, to be added to the score (score) of the Sugoroku game, to purchase items in the Sugoroku game, or to use other services. It is to be added to such points.

  Furthermore, the rotation state (change of display state) of the dice object 45 may change depending on the state when the finger, which is the indicator, is touched off from the screen 14.

  For example, the tendency of the result may change depending on the moving distance, which is the distance from the reference position 46A to the finger moving position 46B. Specifically, the larger the moving distance, the easier it is for a large number to appear, and the smaller the moving distance, the easier it is for a smaller result to appear. Further, the larger the moving distance is, the more the number of dice objects 45 is, the larger the moving distance is, the larger the maximum value of the dice object 45 is, or the larger the moving distance is, The number may increase.

  Further, the rotation state of the dice object 45, for example, the number of rotations, may be changed according to the action (gesture) of the finger on the screen 14 when the finger is touched off from the screen 14.

  For example, when the player touches off the screen 14 while making a gesture of flipping the screen with his / her finger, the rotation number of the dice object 45 may increase as the motion of the gesture increases. Further, the number of rotations of the dice object 45 may change according to the elapsed time from the touch of the finger on the screen 14 to the touch-off. Further, a gauge image may be displayed on the screen 14, the numerical value of the gauge may change over time, and the rotation speed of the dice object 45 may change according to the numerical value of the gauge at the timing when the finger is touched off from the screen 14.

  Further, in the Sugoroku game, the roll of the dice object 45 may be controlled as the character that is the piece 41 grows. For example, the character may be given the ability to make the roll of the frame 41 larger or smaller, or the character may be given the ability to display the desired roll.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the dice object 45 rotates without the user performing any other operation after the route 43 of the top 41 is determined, but the present invention is not limited to this. The dice object 45 may be rotated after another operation such as touching a predetermined image displayed on the screen 14 or the like.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the object for determining the movement amount of the top 41 is the dice object 45, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of different numbers are displayed, such as a roulette object imitating roulette. Other shapes may be used as long as they are objects.

  The route determination unit 55 determines the route 43 displayed on the screen 14 when the user's finger touches off the screen 14 as the route 43 selected by the user.

  The movement amount determination unit 56 starts the rotation of the dice object 45 after the route 43 is determined, and determines the number shown when the rotation of the dice object 45 is stopped as the movement amount of the top 41.

[1-4. Flowchart of frame movement processing]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the frame movement process executed by the main control unit 24 included in the mobile terminal 10, which is executed during the play of the Sugoroku game by the user. A program for executing the frame movement process according to this embodiment is stored in advance in a predetermined area of the auxiliary storage unit 28.

  First, in step S100, the route deriving unit 51 determines whether or not the turn of the user who operates the mobile terminal 10 has been reached. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S102, and if the determination is negative, the waiting state is entered.

  In step S102, the route deriving unit 51 derives the route 43 through which the top 41 can move. After the route 43 is derived, the area dividing unit 53A divides the plane area into a plurality of divided areas 47 for each route 43.

  In the next step S104, the touch position specifying unit 52 determines whether or not the user touches the screen 14, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S106, and if the determination is negative, the standby state is entered.

  In step S106, the touch position specifying unit 52 specifies the reference position 46A.

  In the next step S108, the touch position specifying unit 52 specifies the movement position 46B, and the display control unit 50 displays the arrow UI 44 on the screen 14.

  In the next step S110, the route selection unit 54A identifies the route 43 included in the divided area 47 corresponding to the direction of the arrow UI 44 as the route 43 selected by the user.

  In the next step S112, the display control unit 50 displays the route 43 specified by the route selection unit 54A on the screen 14.

  In the next step S114, the route determination unit 55 determines whether or not the user's finger touches off the screen 14, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S116, and if the determination is negative, the process returns to step S108. When returning to step S108, the route 43 displayed on the screen 14 is switched according to the change in the direction of the arrow UI 44 until the user touches off the finger.

  In step S116, the route determination unit 55 determines the route 43 displayed on the screen 14 when the user's finger touches off the screen 14 as the route 43 selected by the user.

  In the next step S118, the movement amount determination unit 56 rotates the dice object 45 and determines the number shown when the dice object 45 is stopped as the movement amount of the top 41.

  In the next step S120, the display control unit 50 controls the display of the screen 14 so that the top 41 moves on the route 43 by the movement amount determined in step S118, and the process returns to step S100.

  As described above, the frame movement process according to the present embodiment derives the route 43 that satisfies the number of movable masses from the starting point of the frame 41 displayed on the screen 14. Then, in the frame movement processing, the position where the user's finger touches the screen 14 is set as the reference position 46A, and the finger movement position 46B from the reference position 46A, that is, the route 43 corresponding to the arrow UI44 is displayed on the screen 14. Therefore, the user can easily select the route 43 of the frame 41.

  In the present embodiment, the arrow UI 44 is described as a form in which the reference position 46A is the leading end and the reference position 46A extends toward the moving position 46B (pulling direction), but the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the movement position 46B may be the tip of the arrow UI44. That is, in the example of FIG. 9, the arrow UI 44 is displayed by moving the finger in the opposite direction to the example of FIG. Therefore, in the arrow UI 44 shown in FIG. 9, the tip position of the arrow and the length of the arrow UI 44 change according to the slide operation by the user.

  Further, in the route selection of the frame 41, a waypoint 48 from the starting point of the frame 41 may be set as shown in FIG. Specifically, after the user's turn, the square 42 on which the user first touches the screen 14 is set as the waypoint 48, and then the route 43 with the waypoint 48 as the starting point is derived. After that, the user selects the route 43 by the arrow UI 44. That is, it is determined that the frame 41 moves from the starting point to the set waypoint 48, and the route 43 after the waypoint 48 is selected by the user using the arrow UI 44. The waypoint 48 may be automatically set as a part of an event or the like without being set by the user.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the mode in which the movement amount of the frame 41 is determined after the route 43 is selected by the user has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the route 43 is selected by the user after the movement amount of the frame 41 is determined. May be done.

[2. Second Embodiment]
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

  The configuration of the mobile terminal 10 according to the present embodiment is the same as the configuration of the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

[2-1. Outline of route selection by arrow UI]
The route selection according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the arrival point value indicating the position of the arrival point 62 of the route is corrected according to the branch route 63 reaching the arrival point 62. The arrival point 62 is a position that the top 41 can reach in one turn, and more specifically, a position that can be moved from the starting point 60 of the top 41 by the movable mass number. The reaching point value is a value indicating the reaching point 62. As will be described later in detail, the reaching point value according to the present embodiment is indicated by an angle formed by a straight line connecting the starting point 60 and the reaching point 62 of the top 41 and a predetermined reference line 65, but is not limited to this. Alternatively, the horizontal direction of the screen 14 may be the X coordinate, and the vertical direction of the screen 14 may be the Y coordinate.

  11 to 13, the broken line indicates the route 43, the diamond indicates the starting point 60 of the top 41, the white point indicates the branch point 61 of the route 43, and the black point indicates the reaching point 62 of the route 43. In the examples of FIGS. 11 to 13, the first branch point 61f and the starting point 60 are the same, and the number of movable squares is 6.

  Here, when the user selects the route of the piece 41, the user confirms the arrival point 62 of the piece 41, but also confirms the destination near the departure point 60 of the piece 41, that is, the branch route 63 close to the departure point 60. There is a tendency to select the destination of 41. Therefore, when the branch route 63 close to the departure point 60 and the arrival point 62 are distant from each other, more specifically, when the route 43 having a route around the departure point 60 is selected, Since the directions of the branch route 63 and the reaching point 62 are different from the point 60, the user may feel incongruous because the route selection operation cannot be intuitively performed.

  Therefore, in the route selection of the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the plane area is divided so that the plurality of branch routes 63 generated from the predetermined branch point 61 in the route 43 become different division regions 64. Then, in the frame moving process, when the branch route 63 generated from the predetermined branch point 61 and the arrival point 62 passing through the branch route 63 are included in different division regions 64, the division region 64 including the branch route 63 is included. The arrival point value indicating the position of the arrival point 62 is corrected so that the arrival point 62 is included. Then, in the frame movement process, the reaching point 62 is specified based on the contact state of the user's finger on the screen 14 and the corrected reaching point value 62.

  Note that the user tends to strongly recognize the branch point 61 closer to the departure point 60 for route selection. Therefore, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the predetermined branch point 61 serving as a reference when dividing the planar area is set to the first branch point 61f from the start point 60, which is more intuitive for the user. Allows route selection.

[2-2. Details of arrival point value correction]
The angles shown in the square 42 in FIGS. 11 to 13 indicate the reaching point value indicating the position of the reaching point 62. The reaching point value according to the present embodiment is an angle formed by a straight line connecting the starting point 60 and the reaching point 62 of the top 41 and a predetermined reference line 65. Then, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the angle indicating the arrival point value is corrected so that the arrival point 62 is included in the divided area 64 including the branch route 63, and the touch state of the user's finger on the screen 14 is corrected. The arrival point 62 is specified based on the corrected angle. In this way, the arrival point value is represented by an angle, so that the position of the arrival point 62 with respect to the departure point 60 can be easily and accurately represented, and the travel route can be easily identified.

  The reference line 65 according to the present embodiment is, for example, a straight line that passes through the starting point 60 and that has an upward direction of 0 ° and a downward direction of 180 °. By representing the position of the arrival point 62 by an angle, the position of the arrival point 62 with respect to the departure point 60 can be easily and accurately expressed, and the route 43 can be easily specified by the arrow UI 44 as described later in detail. .

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the route 43 from the starting point 60 to the reaching point 62. In the example of FIG. 11, a branch route 63A toward the branch point 61A and a branch route 63B toward the branch point 61B occur from the first branch point 61f (starting point 60). Therefore, in the frame movement processing according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the branch routes 63A and 63B (branch points 61A and 61B) generated from the first branch point 61f are divided areas 64A and 64B, respectively. Divide the plane area into. In the following description, the branch route 63 generated from the first branch point 61f is also referred to as the first branch route 63.

  As an example, the dividing line 66 that divides the plane area is a straight line that passes through the first branch point 61f and is located equidistant from the first branch routes 63A and 63B (or the branch points 61A and 61B).

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the divided area 64. In the example of FIG. 12, since the branch route 63A (branch point 61A) is located at 90 ° and the branch route 63B (branch point 61B) is located at 180 ° with respect to the first branch point 61f, the dividing line 66 is 135. It is a straight line that passes through ° and 315 °. That is, the divided area 64A in FIG. 12 has a range of 315 ° ≦ 0 ° ≦ 135 °, and the divided area 64B has 135 ° ≦ 180 ° ≦ 315 °. Note that all the branch routes 63, the branch points 61, and the reaching points 62 are included in any of the divided areas 64A and 64B.

  The reaching point 62 on the dividing line 66 is, for example, included in the dividing area 64 that includes the first branch route 63 that reaches the reaching point 62. In the example of FIG. 11, the reaching point 62A having the reaching point value of 315 ° via the first branch route 63A is included in the divided area 64A, and the reaching point value of 315 ° via the first branch route 63B. The reaching point 62L, which is a point, is included in the divided area 64B.

  FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the arrival points 62 passing through the first branch routes 63A and 63B (branch points 61A and 61B) and the divided areas 64A and 64B.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the arrival points 62A to 62D passing through the branch route 63A are included in the divided area 64A. On the other hand, the reaching points 62E and 62F pass through the branch route 63A, but are not included in the divided area 64A, but are included in the divided area 64B. Similarly, the arrival points 62I to 62L passing through the branch route 63B are included in the divided area 64B. On the other hand, the reaching points 62G and 62H pass through the branch route 63B but are not included in the divided area 64B, but are included in the divided area 64A. This means that when the user selects the route 43 reaching the reaching points 62E, 62F via the branch route 63A or the route 43 reaching the reaching points 62G, 62H via the branch route 63B, the user Makes the touch operation of route selection uncomfortable, and it may be difficult to make an intuitive selection.

  Therefore, in the frame moving process according to the present embodiment, when the first branch route 63 and the arrival point 62 passing through the first branch route 63 are included in different divided areas 64, the arrival point is reached in the divided area 64 including the first branch route 63. The reaching point value is corrected so that 62 is included.

  FIG. 13B shows an example in which the reaching point values of the reaching points 62E to 62H are corrected. The arrival point value of the reaching point 62E is corrected from 161 ° to 125 ° and the reaching point value of the reaching point 62F is corrected from 180 ° to 130 ° so as to be included in the divided area 64A. Further, the arrival point value of the arrival point 62G is corrected from 90 ° to 140 °, and the arrival point value of the arrival point 62H is corrected from 108 ° to 145 ° so as to be included in the divided region 64B.

  Further, in the correction processing according to the present embodiment, the arrival point value of the arrival point 62 that is the correction target is corrected so as to be between the arrival point 62 that is not the correction target and the dividing line 66.

  Specifically, in the example of FIG. 13B, the reaching points 62E and 62F that are the correction targets are between the reaching point 62D that is not the correction target and the dividing line 66, that is, within the range of 116 ° to 135 ° (hereinafter “ Correction range "). Therefore, in the example of FIG. 13B, the reaching point values of the reaching points 62E and 62F are corrected to 125 ° and 130 ° at intervals of 5 ° (hereinafter referred to as “correction interval”) with the dividing line 66 as a reference. .

  It should be noted that the correction interval is determined by the number of arrival points 62 that are the correction targets included between the arrival points 62 that are not the correction targets and the dividing line 66. In the example of FIG. 13B, two arrival points 62E and 62F to be corrected are included between 116 ° and 135 °, which is between the arrival point 62D that is not the correction target and the dividing line 66 (correction range). Has been. Therefore, as an example, the corrected arrival point values of the arrival points 62E and 62F are set at 5 ° intervals that do not exceed the correction range.

  The same applies to the correction of the reaching point values of the reaching points 62G and 62H, and the correction range is 135 ° to 153 ° between the reaching point 62I that is not the correction target and the dividing line 66. Then, the reaching point values of the reaching points 62G and 62H to be corrected are corrected to 140 ° and 145 ° at 5 ° intervals from the dividing line 66 so as to be included in the correction range.

  Note that the arrival point values to be corrected may be corrected at equal intervals within the correction range without setting the correction interval. For example, when the correction range is 116 ° to 135 ° and there are two reaching points 62 to be corrected, the reaching point values of these two reaching points 62 are corrected to 122.3 ° and 128.6 °. It

  Then, in the frame movement processing according to the present embodiment, the angle formed by the straight line 46C between two points connecting the reference position 46A where the user touches the screen 14 and the movement position 46B and the reference line 65 (hereinafter referred to as "pulling angle"). ), That is, the reaching point 62 indicated by the reaching point value corresponding to the pulling angle of the arrow UI44, which is the angle to which the arrow UI44 is directed, is specified, and the route 43 to reach the reaching point 62 is displayed on the screen 14. More specifically, in the frame movement process, a reaching point value corresponding to an angle range including the pulling angle of the arrow UI 44 is derived, and the route 43 to the reaching point 62 indicated by the reaching point value is displayed on the screen 14. .

  As described above, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the angle range is set for each route 43 based on the corrected angle indicating the reaching point value, and the contact state of the user's finger on the screen 14 and the angle range. The reaching point is specified based on and. This allows the frame movement process to easily specify the route 43 selected by the user.

  The angle range is a range that defines a boundary between each reaching point 62 and another reaching point 62 adjacent thereto. The angular range of the reaching point 62 according to the present embodiment is defined by an intermediate value with the reaching point value of another adjacent reaching point 62 with the reaching point value of itself as the center value.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the reaching point value of the reaching point 62B is 63 °, and the reaching point values of the adjacent reaching points 62A and 62C are 315 ° and 90 °, respectively. Therefore, the angular range of the reaching point 62B is a range from 354 °, which is an intermediate value between 315 ° and 63 °, to 76.5 °, which is an intermediate value between 63 ° and 90 °, with 63 ° as the center value. . Therefore, when the direction of the arrow UI44 is from 354 ° to 76.5 °, the route to the reaching point 62B is displayed on the screen 14.

  Similarly, the angular ranges of the other reaching points 62 are also defined. The angular range of each reaching point 62 does not overlap with the angular range of the other reaching points 62.

  Further, the angle range of the reaching point 62 is not defined beyond the angle of the division line 66 that defines the division region 64. Therefore, the angle range of the reaching point 62 adjacent to or overlapping the dividing line 66 is determined by the value of another adjacent reaching point and the angle of the dividing line 66. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the reaching point value of the reaching point 62A is 315 °, which is the same as the angle of the dividing line 66. Therefore, the angle range of the reaching point 62A is 315 ° to 354 °.

Further, the angle range of the reaching point 62 is set to a predetermined lower limit value or more. By setting the lower limit value in the angle range of the reaching point 62, it is possible to prevent the route 43 from being specified in a narrow angle range and facilitate the selection of the route 43 by the user.
When a plurality of routes 43 are included in the angle range that is the lower limit value, the route 43 having a predetermined high priority as in the first embodiment may be displayed on the screen 14 so that the user can select it. Further, the angular ranges of all or some of the reaching points 62 may be adjusted so that the angular ranges of all the reaching points 62 are equal to or more than the lower limit value, in other words, the reaching point values may be corrected.

  As described above, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the angle formed by the straight line connecting the starting point 60 and the reaching point 62 and the predetermined reference line 65 is set as the reaching point value indicating the position of the reaching point 62. Then, in the frame movement process, the reaching point 62 indicated by the reaching point value corresponding to the angle at which the arrow UI 44 faces is specified, and the route 43 to reach the reaching point 62 is displayed on the screen 14. Therefore, in the frame movement process, the route 43 corresponding to the arrow UI 44 can be displayed on the screen 14 by a simple process.

  The display position of the arrival point 62 on which the arrival point value is corrected does not change even if the arrival point value is corrected. That is, the corrected reaching point value is used to identify the route 43 selected by the user, but is not used to change the display state of the screen 14. As a result, the correction of the reaching point value does not affect the progress of the Sugoroku game.

[2-3. Functional block related to frame movement processing]

The display control unit 50, the route derivation unit 51, the touch position identification unit 52, the route determination unit 55, and the movement amount determination unit 56 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.

  The area dividing unit 53B divides the planar area so that the plurality of first branch routes 63 generated from the first branch point 61f in the derived route 43 become different division regions 64.

  When the first branch route 63 and the reaching point 62 passing through the first branch route 63 are included in different division areas 64, the reaching point value correction unit 70 sets the reaching point 62 as a correction target. Then, the reaching point value correcting unit 70 corrects the reaching point value indicating the reaching point 62 to be corrected so as to be included in the divided area 64 including the first branch route 63 reaching the reaching point 62.

  The angle range setting unit 71 sets an angle range for each reaching point 62.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the flow of a selected route specifying process according to this embodiment, which is executed by the main control unit 24 included in the mobile terminal 10. The frame moving process according to the present embodiment is executed by replacing step S108 of the frame moving process according to the first embodiment with the selected route specifying process.

  First, in step S200, the area dividing unit 53B identifies the first branch point 61f in the derived route 43.

  In the next step S202, the area dividing unit 53B sets the divided area 64 so that the plurality of branch routes 63 generated from the first branch point 61f are different areas.

  In the next step S204, the arrival point value correction unit 70 determines whether or not there is the arrival point 62 that is included in the divided area 64 different from the first branch route 63 and is to be corrected. The process proceeds to S206. On the other hand, if the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step S208.

  In step S206, the reaching point value of the reaching point 62 to be corrected is set so that the reaching point value of the reaching point 62 to be corrected is included in the same divided area 64 as the first branch route 63. Will correct.

  In step S208, the angle range setting unit 71 sets the angle range for each reaching point 62.

  In the next step S210, the arrival point identification unit 72 identifies the arrival point 62 in the angle range corresponding to the pulling angle of the arrow UI44.

  In the next step 212, the route selection unit 54B identifies the route 43 reaching the arrival point 62 identified by the arrival point identification unit 72 as the route 43 selected by the user, and the selected route identification process ends.

  As described above, in the frame movement processing according to the present embodiment, the plane area is divided so that the first branch route 63 generated from the predetermined branch point 61 in each route 43 is a different divided area 64. In the frame moving process, when the first branch route 63 and the arrival point 62 passing through the first branch route 63 are included in different division regions 64, the first branch route 63 and the arrival point 62 are the same division region. The reaching point value indicating the reaching point 62 is corrected so as to be included in 64. Then, when the user selects a route, the corrected arrival point value is used. Therefore, in the route selection of the user by the arrow UI 44, the first branch route 63 and the arrival point value indicating the arrival point 62 passing through the first branch route 63 should be located in the same direction with reference to the departure point 60. become. As a result, the frame movement process enables a route selection that is intuitive to the user, that is, a simpler route selection for the user.

  In the route 43 according to the present embodiment, the first branch point 61f and the starting point 60 are the same, but this is an example. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the starting point 60 and the first branch point 61f may be at different positions.

  Further, in the frame movement process according to the present embodiment, the predetermined branch point 61 serving as a reference when dividing the plane area is the first branch point 61f, but the present invention is not limited to this. The predetermined branch point 61 may be, for example, the second branch point 61 from the starting point 60 or the like, and may be changeable by the operator or the user of the Sugoroku game.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the mode in which the present invention is applied to the Sugoroku game has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention may be applied to a navigation system or the like. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram when the present invention is applied to a navigation system, a map is displayed on the screen 14, and the user routes from a starting point (starting point 80) to a reaching point (destination 81) on the map. 43 is selected using the arrow UI 44. In this case, the route deriving unit 51 derives a route from the place of departure 80 that satisfies a predetermined condition. This predetermined condition is a condition set for reaching from the starting point 80 to the destination 81 on the map, and is, for example, whether or not a transit point or toll road is selected, or whether or not a train is selected.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the user uses the arrow UI 44 to select the route 43 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, two or more fingers can be displayed on the screen. Other forms may be used as long as the route 43 corresponding to the contact state of the indicator on the screen 14 is displayed on the screen 14, such as selecting the route 43 by touching the screen 14.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the mode in which the mobile terminal 10 executes the frame movement process has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a server connected to the mobile terminal 10 via a network may perform some or all of the frame movement processing. In the case of this form, for example, the server derives the route 43. Then, the mobile terminal 10 transmits the reference position 46A at which the user touches the screen 14 and the movement position 46B to the server. The server transmits a control signal to the mobile terminal 10 so that the arrow UI 44 and the route 43 corresponding to the received reference position 46A and movement position 46B are displayed on the screen 14 of the mobile terminal 10. The mobile terminal 10 displays the arrow UI 44 and the route 43 on the screen 14 based on the control signal.
