The present disclosure relates to game programs, methods, and information processing devices.

Techniques for measuring sleep are known. For example, by having the user wear a wristwatch-type device, the sleep of whether the user has light sleep, deep sleep, or REM sleep, depending on the output result of the motion sensor mounted on the device. Determine the stage of. This makes it possible to record the time change of each sleep stage.

A device for measuring such sleep can also set a reminder to notify the user that bedtime is approaching. This is based on research findings that keeping bedtime and wake-up time constant improves sleep quality.

Technologies have also been developed to help users fall asleep. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-045475 (Patent Document 1) describes what kind of music the user fell asleep with and what kind of music is likely to fall asleep when the user falls asleep while listening to music. For recognition, it is described that the sleep onset time until the user goes to sleep is provided in a ranking format based on the music provided when the user goes to sleep.

In addition, various hardware devices for measuring sleep are provided by each business operator that manufactures and sells the hardware devices. A smartphone may be used as a hardware device. The user can measure sleep by sandwiching the smartphone under the mattress of the bed, and can confirm information about sleep by an application running on the smartphone. Further, as a hardware device for measuring sleep, a wearable device such as a wristwatch type may be used. The user can measure sleep by wearing a wearable device while sleeping.

In such an application, the type of sensor device supported by the application is usually limited to that of the business operator who produces the application.

More specifically, for example, in a device equipped with sensors for measuring the user's sleep, a game program is operated on the user's terminal based on the user's sleep data obtained by the measurement. In this case, since the specifications of the sensors mounted on the device are determined to some extent on the game program side, it is assumed that there are relatively few situations where the output result of the sensor is unexpected on the game program side. Therefore, in this case, it is expected that there will be relatively few situations in which the behavior of the game program is unexpected for the business operator. In addition, although the device that executes the game program and the device for measuring sleep are separate devices, there is a case where the device for measuring sleep is limited to only one type for the game program. Similarly, it is assumed that there are relatively few situations in which the measured sleep data is unexpected on the game program side.

However, when it is possible to use not only one type of hardware device for measuring these sleep data but also various devices, the accuracy of the data measured by each hardware device and the content of the data vary. It is assumed that there is.

In this way, when the game progresses based on the user's sleep data on the game program side, the sleep data itself may vary depending on the hardware device, so that the user is provided with the interest as intended by the game operator. It may not be possible.

Therefore, when providing a game program that progresses based on the user's sleep data, it is necessary to have a technology that further improves the interest of the game while supporting multiple types of hardware devices for measuring the user's sleep. It is said that.

The game program includes a first step of acquiring, as user sleep information, the sensing results measured by one or more sensor devices for sensing information about the user's sleep on one or more computer processors. A game program depending on which sensor device the user's sleep information is acquired from based on the second step of acquiring the information for identifying the sensor device from which the sensing result is acquired and the information for identifying the sensor device. The third step of exerting a predetermined effect in the game play based on the above is executed.

According to one embodiment, a method of causing a computer having one or more computer processors and memory to execute is provided. The method comprises a first step in which one or more computer processors acquire the sensing results measured by one or more sensor devices for sensing information about the user's sleep as the user's sleep information. Based on the second step of acquiring the information for identifying the sensor device from which the result was acquired and the information for identifying the sensor device, the game program may include the user's sleep information according to which sensor device the user's sleep information was acquired from. A third step of exerting a predetermined effect in the based gameplay is performed.

According to one embodiment, an information processing device including a control unit and a storage unit is provided. The control unit operates based on the game program stored in the storage unit, and the sensing result measured by one or more sensor devices for sensing information on the user's sleep is used as the user's sleep information.

<First Embodiment>
<1 Configuration diagram of the entire game system>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the game system 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes a plurality of terminal devices (in FIG. 1, terminal devices 10A and terminal devices 10B; hereinafter, may be collectively referred to as "terminal devices 10") and a server. Includes 20 and. The terminal device 10 and the server 20 communicate with each other via the network 80.

The terminal device 10 is a device operated by each user. The terminal device 10 is realized by a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet compatible with a mobile communication system. In addition to this, the terminal device 10 may be, for example, a stationary PC (Personal Computer), a laptop PC, or a dedicated game machine. Further, the terminal device 10 may function as a head-mounted display, for example, a transmissive type, a non-transparent type, or a see-through type head-mounted display. For example, the terminal device 10 may function as a mobile terminal when it does not function as a head-mounted display, and may function as a head-mounted display when attached to a goggle-type device. In this case, the terminal device 10 can switch between a mode that functions as a mobile terminal and a mode that functions as a head-mounted display. In the mode of functioning as a head-mounted display, the terminal device 10 detects the movement of the user's head by the motion sensor built in the terminal device 10, and the display image is linked to the movement of the user's head. To update.

As shown as the terminal device 10B in FIG. 1, the terminal device 10 includes a communication IF (Interface) 12, an input device 13, an output device 14, a memory 15, a storage unit 16, and a processor 19. The server 20 includes a communication IF 22, an input / output IF 23, a memory 25, a storage 26, and a processor 29.

The terminal device 10 is communicably connected to the server 20 via the network 80. The terminal device 10 is compatible with wireless base stations 81 compatible with communication standards such as 5G and LTE (Long Term Evolution), and wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standards such as IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11. It is connected to the network 80 by communicating with a communication device such as a wireless LAN router 82.

The communication IF 12 is an interface for inputting / outputting signals because the terminal device 10 communicates with an external device. The input device 13 is an input device (for example, a touch panel, a touch pad, a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard, etc.) for receiving an input operation from a user. The output device 14 is an output device (display, speaker, etc.) for presenting information to the user. The memory 15 is for temporarily storing a program, data processed by the program or the like, and is a volatile memory such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). The storage unit 16 is a storage device for storing data, for example, a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disc Drive). The processor 19 is hardware for executing an instruction set described in a program, and is composed of an arithmetic unit, registers, peripheral circuits, and the like.

As shown in the figure, the terminal device 10 is connected to the game controller 11A by wire or wirelessly. The user can operate the game controller 11A to play the game. The terminal device 10 may be able to communicate with a plurality of game controllers 11A. For example, a plurality of users can play a game using one terminal device 10. Further, the game controller 11 may have a structure that can be attached to and detached from the terminal device 10. The game controller 11 may be one device that can be gripped by both hands of the user, or may be composed of two devices that are each gripped by both hands of the user. For example, the game controller 11 may have a gyro sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like, and may detect the movement of the user's body (for example, the movement of the hand) when the user holds the game controller 11.

Further, as shown in the figure, the terminal device 10 is connected to one or more sleep measurement devices by wire or wirelessly. The sleep measurement devices 11B and 11C are devices for acquiring information on sleep of the user of the terminal device 10. FIG. 1 shows two sleep measuring devices, a sleep measuring device 11B and a sleep measuring device 11C. Hereinafter, a plurality of sleep measuring devices may be collectively referred to as "sleep measuring device 11B or the like". The sleep measurement devices 11B and 11C are wearable devices worn on the user's body, such as a wristwatch side, a ring type, and an eye mask type, and include a motion sensor such as a gyro sensor. In addition, the sleep measurement devices 11B and 11C may be devices placed on a mattress, bedside, or the like where the user is sleeping. Further, the terminal device 10 and the sleep measurement device 11B or the sleep measurement device 11C may be the same device. That is, the terminal device 10 may also function as a sleep measurement device.

The user may use two or more sleep measurement devices at the same time. For example, a user may wear two wristwatch-type sleep measuring devices, or a user may wear a wristwatch-type sleep measuring device while using a smartphone as a sleep measuring device. As a result, the movement of the user's body during sleep can be detected by a gyro sensor or the like. By accumulating the sensing results sensed by various sensors while the user is sleeping, whether the user is sleeping, in a light sleep state, in a deep sleep state, or in REM sleep. It is possible to determine whether or not it is non-REM sleep. By discriminating the waveforms of REM sleep and non-REM sleep in this way, the quality of sleep of the user can be evaluated. For example, the cycle of REM sleep and non-REM sleep in the case of good quality sleep is preset, and the quality of sleep of the user is evaluated by comparing with the waveforms of REM sleep and non-REM sleep during the user's sleep. Can be done.

Further, in the terminal device 10, the user has entered the floor (for example, laying on the bed) based on the outputs of the sleep measuring devices 11B and 11C and the motion sensor of the terminal device 10, and has fallen asleep after entering the bed. Is detected. As a result, the terminal device 10 provides information on whether the user has performed an input operation on the terminal device 10 or the user is displayed on the display 132 of the terminal device 10 between the time when the user enters the bed and the time when the user falls asleep. It is possible to determine whether or not the user was browsing. That is, it can be determined whether or not the user who is going to sleep has operated the terminal device 10 before going to bed.

The server 20 manages the information of each user. As user information, the server 20 includes game characters, game items, virtual currency holding amounts (including those given to users free of charge and those given to users for a fee), and game units for each user. The current value and maximum value (upper limit) of the amount of activity parameter (also called "stamina value") consumed to play (also called quest), other users registered as friends by each user Manage information, etc.

In addition, the server 20 collects information on sleep of each user sensed by the sleep measurement device 11B and stores it in a database. For example, the terminal device 10 acquires the sensing result of the sleep measurement device 11B and transmits it to the server 20.

The server 20 performs user matching and the like as a process for encouraging interaction between users, specifically, in order to support multiplayer in which a plurality of users play a game. In addition, the server 20 sends and receives messages between users.

The server 20 manages the current value and the maximum value of the stamina value of each user, and restores the current value to the maximum value with the passage of time. For example, the server 20 increases the current value of the stamina value at predetermined time intervals such as every 3 minutes. The server 20 sets a timer for a predetermined time in response to reducing the stamina value from the maximum value of the stamina value by the user starting game play in game units or the like. The timer detects that a predetermined time has elapsed and increases the stamina value by a predetermined amount. As a result of recovering the stamina value, the server 20 sets the timer again when the upper limit of the stamina value is not reached.

In some cases, the amount of action power parameter consumed for game play in each game unit is the same for all game units (stamina consumption is fixed), or in each game unit during game play. It may be assumed that the amount of the action power parameter to be consumed is set.

The communication IF 22 is an interface for inputting / outputting signals because the server 20 communicates with an external device. The input / output IF 23 functions as an interface with an input device for receiving an input operation from the user and an output device for presenting information to the user. The memory 25 is for temporarily storing a program, data processed by the program or the like, and is a volatile memory such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). The storage 26 is a storage device for storing data, for example, a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disc Drive). The processor 29 is hardware for executing an instruction set described in a program, and is composed of an arithmetic unit, registers, peripheral circuits, and the like.

In the illustrated example, the terminal devices 10 communicate with each other via the server 20, but a plurality of terminal devices 10 may directly communicate with each other by short-range wireless communication without going through the server 20. .. For example, it may be possible to use two terminal devices 10 to perform competitive play or the like by local communication without going through the Internet. Further, in the present embodiment, each device (terminal device, server, sleep measurement device, etc.) can be grasped as an information processing device. That is, the aggregate of each device can be grasped as one "information processing device", and the game system 1 may be formed as an aggregate of a plurality of devices. The method of allocating the plurality of functions required to realize the game system 1 according to the present embodiment to one or a plurality of hardware includes the processing capacity of each hardware and / or the specifications required for the game system 1. It can be decided as appropriate in view of the above.

For example, the game system may be configured by the terminal device and the sleep measurement device without going through the server. Further, the sleep measurement device and the terminal device may communicate with each other, and the terminal device and the server may communicate with each other, so that each device performs its own processing to form a game system. Further, the game system may be configured by a sleep measurement device regardless of the terminal device and the server. Further, the sleep measurement device may configure the game system by communicating with the server.

<1.1 Configuration of terminal device 10>

As shown in FIG. 4, each of the records in the user information database 281 has the item "user identification information (user ID)", the item "user name", and the item "user level" for each of the information that identifies the user. , Item "current stamina value", item "maximum stamina value", item "owned game object", item "user attribute setting", item "constraint by sleep evaluation" and the like.

Although not shown, the user information DB 281 includes information on the amount of paid virtual currency and free virtual currency held by each user. Free virtual currency indicates the amount of virtual currency that the user holds for the virtual currency that is given to the user free of charge. For example, the terminal device 10 grants a free virtual currency to a user by a login bonus, an event reward, or the like. Paid virtual currency indicates the amount of virtual currency that the user holds for the virtual currency that is given to the user for a fee. For example, the terminal device 10 grants the paid virtual currency to the user by accepting the process of purchasing the paid virtual currency by the purchase process. These free virtual currency and paid virtual currency may have the same name in the game (for example, they are described as "virtual currency (free grant)", "virtual currency (paid grant)", etc.). , May have different names.

The item "user identification information (user ID)" is information that identifies each user.
The item "user name" is a name set by the user.
The item "user level" is a parameter that rises separately from the level of the game character or the like as the user repeats the game play. For example, as the user level rises, the value set for the item "maximum stamina" increases. As a result, as the user level rises, it becomes easier for the user to play a game unit that consumes a larger amount of stamina value.
The item "current stamina value" is the current value (current value of stamina value) of the parameter of the user's ability to act. If the current value of the stamina value is less than the consumption amount set for each game unit, the user cannot start the game play for the game unit. The user can increase the current value of the stamina value by consuming a game item whose stamina value can be recovered, or by consuming a paid or free virtual currency. At this time, the current value of the stamina value may be recovered beyond the maximum value of the stamina value.
The item "maximum stamina value" is the maximum value of the parameter of the user's ability to act (maximum value of stamina value, upper limit value). The current stamina value recovers to the maximum value over time.
The item "owned game object" is information such as a game character and a game item owned by the user. In the item, information such as each game character and the level of the game item is also included.
The item "user attribute setting" indicates an attribute set for the user. Attributes may be set by user operation. For example, in a game, it is possible to launch a group (also referred to as a team, a guild, etc.) to which a plurality of users belong. The server 20 assigns unique identification information (group ID) to the launched group, and accepts the setting of the group name from the users belonging to the group. By joining a group, users can send and receive messages with members in the group (group bulletin board, etc.), multiplayer with members in the group (competition within the group, joint battle, etc.), and between groups. You can use each function such as the function to play multiplayer (competition between groups, joint battle, etc.).

Further, for example, when a user and another user have a family relationship or the like, the user can designate the other user as a family. For example, when the user "C" designates the user "D" as a family, the user "C" is also set as a family for the user "D".

In addition, the user can set a group as a family. The group may, for example, obtain the approval of the user who launched the group, or enroll members only for users who are set as a family member of the members included in the group.

The item "Restriction by sleep evaluation" indicates various conditions and the contents of the restriction set in the game play of each user according to the information about the user's sleep.

(I) Adjustment of game parameters during game play according to sleep performance As a condition set for game play, for example, the more the user reaches the sleep goal set for the user, the more the progress of the game is given to the user. Game parameters are adjusted to your advantage. Such game parameters are not limited to those simply given to the user as items or the like (for example, when the user achieves the sleep goal, the in-game currency is given). This game parameter may be, for example, a parameter referenced by the game program during gameplay by the user and may adjust the balance of the game. Depending on the parameter, the degree of difficulty such as the strength of the enemy character, the degree of user support such as the availability of items, and the like are adjusted.

Specifically, for example, the time when the user awakens (the timing when the user wakes up), the time when the user wakes up (the timing when the user wakes up from the bed), and the time when the user enters the bed (the user enters the bed). The in-game effect is changed according to the timing when the user goes to bed (the timing when the user falls asleep), the quality of sleep of the user, and the like. Since the user is awake at the timing when the user wakes up, "the user wakes up" includes "the user has awakened". Similarly, "the user has fallen asleep" includes "the user has fallen asleep". For example, it makes it easier for the user to acquire an item in the game when he / she wakes up according to the target time to wake up. For example, when a user purchases an item during game play, the unit price for purchasing the item decreases, when the user sells the item during game play, the chance of purchasing the item increases, and so on. It should be noted that a time zone in which the game play is advantageous to the user may be set regardless of the time information regarding the user's sleep (time to wake up, time to go to bed). For example, when the user wakes up at 7:00 am and meets the predetermined wake-up scheduled time, it is different from the timing when the user wakes up, such as between 10 am and 12:00 am. During the time period, the user's gameplay may be advantageous.

(Ii) Adjustment of user's gameplay opportunity according to sleep performance (a) Gameplay availability: As a constraint set for gameplay, for example, the user reaches the sleep goal set for the user. , You may be able to play a specific game unit (also called "quest" etc.). For example, a user reaches a sleep goal for a game unit with a relatively large reward at the time of clearing, a game unit with a high degree of difficulty, a game unit provided as an event by a game operator for a certain period of time, and the like. This may allow the user to play the game or increase the number of times the game can be played.

(B) Fluctuation of gameplayable period: The gameplayable period of a specific game unit may be adjusted according to whether or not the sleep goal set by the user has been achieved. For example, a user can play a particular game unit regardless of whether or not the user has achieved a sleep goal, but by achieving the sleep goal, the user can play the specific game unit. The game may be set for a long period of time, and the game may be played in a specific time zone such as a time zone specified by the user.

(Iii) Adjustment of User's Operation Opportunity / In-Game Behavior According to Sleep Performance As a constraint on the user, an opportunity for the user to perform a specific operation may be set according to the user's sleep performance. For example, when the user reaches the sleep goal, an operation for receiving a reward such as a present item may be performed (setting a period during which the operation can be performed).

Further, as a restriction on the user, it may be possible to perform a specific action during the game according to the user's sleep performance. Specific actions in the game include transfer of items, acquisition of items, battle between a player character and another character, and the like. For example, only when the user is sleeping, the user is allowed to transfer a specific item or the like to another user, an NPC (non-player character) or the like. Details will be described later.

Each of the records in the friend list 282 has an item "user 1", an item "user 2", an item "friend registration date", an item "whether or not sleep information is disclosed", an item "common attribute", and an item. Includes "common sleep time" and the like.

The item "user 1" indicates one of the users registered as friends with each other.
The item "user 2" indicates the other user among the users registered as friends with each other.
The item "friend registration date" indicates the date and time when users are registered as friends.
The item "whether or not to disclose sleep information" indicates a setting of whether or not to disclose information about sleep of each user among users registered as friends. For example, "private" that prohibits disclosure between users registered as friends, "mutual disclosure" that allows mutual disclosure between friends, "public to one" that one user publishes to the other user, etc. There is a setting of.
The item "common attribute" indicates an attribute that is common to each user among the attributes set for each user registered as a friend. For example, there may be cases where users who are registered as friends are "family members" or who belong to the same "group".
The item "common sleep time" indicates the time zone in which each user registered as a friend sleeps together. That is, it is a time zone in which each user is sleeping together.

As a method of friend registration, when one user applies for friend registration to another user and the other user approves, it may be registered in the friend list. Also, one user may be able to add (follow) to the list without the approval of the other user. In this case, both users follow each other, resulting in a mutual follow-up state.

Each of the records of sleep record information 283 is item "user identification information", item "date and time", item "sleep target", item "sleep record", item "sleep evaluation parameter", item "sleep measurement device", item. Includes "measurement quality", item "sleep position", etc.
The item "user identification information (user ID)" is information that identifies each user.
The item "date and time" indicates the timing at which the sleep measuring device 11B or the like senses when the user sleeps.
The item "sleep target" indicates a target value for the user to sleep. For example, the target value for sleeping includes information on the time when the user goes to bed and the time when the user wakes up.
The item "sleep record" indicates the sleep record value of each user, which is recorded when the user sleeps and sensing is performed by the sleep measuring device 11B or the like. The actual value of sleep includes, for example, the time when the user went to bed and the time when the user woke up.

The server 20 receives information on the sleep record from the terminal device 10 of each user and updates the sleep record information 283. The time when the user goes to bed may be determined based on the sensing result of the sleep measuring device 11B or the like, or may be the timing when an operation for starting bedtime is received from the user. The time when the user wakes up may be determined based on the sensing result of the sleep measurement device 11B or the like, or may be the timing when an operation indicating that the user has woken up is received from the user.

The item "Sleep evaluation parameter" is an evaluation parameter that evaluates the user's sleep performance. For example, the value of the evaluation parameter may be improved according to the sleep time reaching the target time, the quality of sleep, and the like. The evaluation parameter may be a visualization of the sleep debt as a value according to the user's sleep performance.

The server 20 receives information on the sleep performance from the terminal device 10 of each user, and calculates the evaluation parameter for each user. The server 20 provides the user with game play using the evaluation parameter. For example, if the evaluation parameters are not good (such as the user's sleep is not appropriate and the user is a little sleepless) to encourage the user to achieve the sleep goal set, the server 20 or the terminal device 10 may use the user. Adjust various parameters to reduce the efficiency of gameplay, and notify the user to get proper sleep.

For example, when the user's sleep is not good, the terminal device 10 notifies the user to go to bed, saying, "Let's go to bed because the body is tired." Further, the terminal device 10 changes the game play environment so that the efficiency of the game play by the user is lowered by lowering the ease of acquiring the experience value, the game item, etc. even if the user plays the game. Let me. This makes it possible for the user to recognize that the game cannot proceed efficiently even if the user plays the game when he / she is tired, and sleeps so that the user sleeps well. Can be prompted.

In addition, the evaluation parameter can be said to represent the good physical condition of the user. The terminal device 10 or the server 20 can propose to the user a game play according to the physical condition of the user based on the evaluation parameter. For example, when the user is getting enough sleep, it is understood that it is good for the health of the user's body to get tired moderately. Therefore, the terminal device 10 or the server 20 selects a game that requires the user's body to move from among the plurality of game candidates in response to the user getting enough sleep, and the game play of the game. Can be notified to urge. For example, during gameplay of one game, the gameplay of another game (for example, a game that is advanced by the user walking) is determined by determining that the user is in good physical condition based on the user's sleep performance. Can be suggested to the user to do. In addition, it is possible to propose to the user to play a game of another game (for example, a game that can be progressed without the user moving) by determining that the user is not in good physical condition based on the user's sleep performance. it can.

The item "Sleep measurement device" indicates information that identifies the sleep measurement device that the user used to measure sleep. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the same user records information about sleep using a plurality of sleep measurement devices. In the item "sleep measurement device", the information that identifies the sleep measurement device may be information indicating the model of the sleep measurement device (information on the manufacturer / distributor, information that identifies the product), and the information of these sleep measurement devices may be used. It may be information that uniquely identifies each device (for example, a MAC (Media Access Control) address, a unique code given by a manufacturer / distributor of a sleep measurement device, or the like).

The item "Measurement quality" indicates the quality of the sensing results measured by the sleep measurement device. Here, (1) the quality of the sensing result may represent the sensing accuracy of the sensor device mounted on the sleep measuring device. For example, if the sensor device fails, the accuracy of sensing may decrease. Further, (2) when the quality of the communication signal transmitted from the sleep measuring device deteriorates, the quality of the output sensing result may deteriorate. Further, the quality of the sensing result may indicate whether or not (3) the sleep state of the user can be satisfactorily measured, apart from the accuracy of sensing of the sensor device or the quality of the communication signal. For example, if the user's bed can vibrate due to factors other than the user, the user's sleep state cannot be measured well and an error may be included. For example, when another user, a pet, or the like exists on the user's bed, the sensing result may fluctuate due to factors other than the user.

The item "sleep position" indicates the position where the user sleeps. For example, when the sleep measuring device 11B or the like has a position information sensor (GPS or the like), the position where the user sleeps can be obtained from the output result of the position information sensor. Further, when the sleep measuring device 11B or the like communicates with the terminal device 10 by short-range wireless communication or the like, the position where the user sleeps can be acquired by the output of the position information sensor 150 of the terminal device 10. Further, the sleep measurement device 11B or the like or the terminal device 10 identifies the position of the sleep measurement device 11B or the like or the terminal device 10 by communicating with the wireless LAN access point or the wireless base station, and the specified position is determined by the user. May be the position where the person slept.

<3 operation>
The game processing by the terminal device 10 will be described below.

<3.1 Operation example 1>
FIG. 5 shows a process in which a user specifies a game unit and consumes the consumption amount set for the game unit from the current value of the stamina value to perform game play, and the user receives a reward at the time of clearing the game unit. It is a flowchart which shows the process which makes the content according to the record of sleep of.

In step S501, the terminal device 10 displays the quest as a play unit on the display 132, and accepts the selection of the quest from the user.

In step S503, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the current value of the user's stamina value exceeds the stamina consumption set in the quest specified by the user. When the current value of the user's stamina value exceeds the stamina consumption of the quest, the terminal device 10 transmits a signal to the server 20 indicating that the game play of the quest is started. The terminal device 10 subtracts the stamina consumption set in the quest from the current value of the user's stamina value.

In step S553, the server 20 updates the user information DB 281 by subtracting the consumption amount from the stamina value of the user based on the consumption amount set in the quest specified by the user.

In step S505, the terminal device 10 advances the game play of the quest specified by the user in response to the input operation of the user.

In step S507, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the quest end condition is satisfied (for example, the game character operated by the user destroys the boss character set in the quest, and the game character operated by the user fights. Update various parameters when ending the quest, such as becoming impossible). For example, the terminal device 10 updates various parameters by increasing the experience value of the user, giving the user a drop item set in the quest, and the like. Here, when the terminal device 10 determines that the quest end condition is satisfied, whether or not the sleep record satisfies a predetermined condition based on the sleep information of the user of the sleep record information 283. judge. For example, when the actual user's sleep performance has reached the user's predetermined sleep goals (bed-in time, bedtime, awakening time, wake-up time, sleep quality goal), the terminal device 10 Determines that the sleep performance meets the conditions. That is, the terminal device 10 determines that the quality of sleep of the user is good.

If the condition is not satisfied, the terminal device 10 sets the content of the reward at the time of clearing the quest as the first reward. When the condition is satisfied, the terminal device 10 sets the content of the reward at the time of clearing the quest as a second reward that is more advantageous to the user than the first reward. For example, the second reward is more advantageous to the user than the first reward because the experience value obtained at the time of clearing the quest is large, the in-game currency is large, the game item is good or large, and the like.

In step S555, the server 20 updates the user information DB 281 based on the update results of various parameters of the user.

As described above, the user can be rewarded in the game by getting regular sleep, and is encouraged to make the sleep habit appropriate. In addition, by clearing the quest after starting the game, the reward according to the sleep is given, so that the user can enjoy the game play after waking up even more while sleeping.

<3.2 Operation example 2>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a process of recovering the user's stamina value when the user is sleeping.

In step S601, the terminal device 10 transmits information about the user's sleep to the server 20. The terminal device 10 transmits information on the time when the user enters the bed, the time when the user starts going to bed, the time when the user awakens, the time when the user wakes up, and the sleep quality as information on the user's sleep to the server 20. ..

In step S653, the server 20 refers to the user information DB 281 and does not recover the current value of the user's stamina value during the time when the user is not sleeping (for example, the time from when the user wakes up to when he / she goes to bed). Recovers over time when the user is sleeping.

In step S653, the current value of the stamina value may be recovered with the passage of time even when the user is not sleeping, and the stamina value may be recovered more with the passage of time during the time when the user is sleeping. .. For example, when the user is awake (not sleeping) all day long, the amount of recovery of the stamina value over time is set to an amount that allows a predetermined game unit to be played a predetermined number of times. This makes it possible to encourage the user to sleep while limiting the number of gameplays per game per day.

In step S655, the server 20 generates an evaluation parameter that evaluates the user's sleep performance.

In step S657, the server 20 updates the sleep record information 283 based on the user's sleep record information received from the terminal device 10 and the evaluation parameter generated in step S655.

In step S603, the terminal device 10 receives the evaluation parameter for evaluating the sleep performance from the server 20.

In step S605, the terminal device 10 controls the user's game progress based on the evaluation parameters.

As described above, in the case of consuming the stamina value when playing the game unit, the user can recover the current value of the stamina value by sleeping. Therefore, it is possible to encourage the user to sleep appropriately while realizing the fun of the game play.

<3.3 Operation example 3>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process in which the terminal device 10 advances the user's game play based on the information regarding the user's sleep.

In step S701, the terminal device 10 causes the player character (PC) to be operated by the user to perform the operation during sleep by the player character (PC) to be operated by the user according to the operation of the user or according to a predetermined rule regardless of the operation of the user. Set actions (for example, transfer of items, battle with other characters, etc.).

In step S703, when the terminal device 10 detects that the user has fallen asleep (or has fallen asleep) based on the sensing result of the sleep measuring device 11B or the like, the terminal device 10 transmits information about the user's sleep to the server 20. ..

In step S753, the server 20 receives information about the user's sleep from the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 allows the user's player character to perform the action set in step S701 during the time when the user is sleeping. The server 20 accepts actions of other user characters and non-player characters (NPCs) with respect to the user player character. For example, when the player character of the user sells the item or the like, the NPC or the like purchases the item or the like during the time when the user is sleeping. Therefore, the game can be advanced by the user sleeping appropriately.

In step S755, the server 20 sets the user to a specific event during the period of receiving a specific operation from the user based on the user's sleep performance (bed-in time, bedtime, awakening time, wake-up time, sleep quality). Set the period during which you can participate. The server 20 performs processing such as providing a period during which the user can receive a reward by appropriately sleeping, providing a period during which the user can participate in an event, and lengthening these periods.

In step S757, the server 20 adjusts the time at which a specific event occurs, a specific game parameter, and the like when the user plays a game, based on the user's sleep performance. On the server 20, for example, when the user wakes up at a specific time (for example, when the user actually wakes up at 7 am with the goal of getting up at 7 am), the game progress is advantageous to the user. In order to make it easier for events to occur, in-game production is performed at a specific time, and so on.

In step S705, the terminal device 10 adjusts the game progression based on the user's sleep performance.

As described above, when the user sleeps properly, it is possible to advance the gameplay itself, the gameplay becomes advantageous, and it is possible to facilitate the execution of a specific operation of the user in the gameplay. .. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the fun of gameplay while encouraging the user to sleep properly.

<3.4 Operation example 4>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process of making the game progress of each user advantageous by achieving the sleep goal by a plurality of users, giving a reward to each user, and the like. In the example of FIG. 8, the first user operates the terminal device 10A, and the second user operates the terminal device 10B. The first user and the second user have common attributes, and specifically, they are friend users registered as a family.

In step S801A, the terminal device 10A notifies the first user of sleep schedule information (scheduled bedtime, scheduled wake-up time) of the second user having the same attributes as the first user. The terminal device 10A notifies the first user that the first user is given a reward available for game play by sleeping during the sleep target time zone set for the second user. To do.

In step S811B, the terminal device 10B notifies the second user of the sleep schedule information of the first user having the same attributes as the second user. The terminal device 10B notifies the second user that the second user is given a reward available for game play by sleeping at the target time zone of sleep set for the first user. To do.

When the terminal device 10A detects that the first user is sleeping in step S803A, the terminal device 10A transmits information about the sleep of the first user to the server 20.

When the terminal device 10B detects that the second user is sleeping in step S813B, the terminal device 10B transmits information about the sleep of the second user to the server 20.

In step S853, the server 20 receives information on sleep of the first user and the second user from the terminal device 10A and the terminal device 10B, respectively, and updates the sleep record information 283.

In step S855, the server 20 refers to the results of the first user and the second user sleeping, and the relationship between the first user and the second user in sleep time (specifically, the first The reward to be given to the first user and the second user is determined according to the fact that the first user and the second user have slept in the same time zone), and the content of the determined reward is determined by the terminal. Notify device 10A and terminal device 10B. Further, as the relationship between the sleep time between the first user and the second user, the sleep time zone between the first user and the second user overlaps for a predetermined time or more, so that the sleep time is given to each user. You may decide the reward to do. Further, the reward may be given to each user because both the first user and the second user are sleeping in the overlapping time zone. Further, the reward may be given to each user because the sleep time zones of the first user and the second user do not overlap. The user to which the reward is given may be either a first user or a second user. For example, among the first user and the second user, the user who has taken a more appropriate sleep may be rewarded.

In step S805A, the terminal device 10A notifies the first user of the reward given in response to the first user sleeping in the time zone with the second user.

In step S815B, the terminal device 10B notifies the second user of the reward given in response to the second user sleeping in the time zone with the first user.

In the above processing, the first user and the second user both set a common sleep goal (bedtime, wake-up time), and each user achieves the sleep goal together. The user may be rewarded. Also, the first user and the second user may be able to notify each other (or either the first user and the second user) of their sleep goals. For example, by operating the terminal device 10A by the first user, the sleep target such as "Let's sleep from 22:00 to 7:00 am" for the terminal device 10B operated by the second user. It may be possible to send a message presenting. Here, the sleep target is set for the first user and the second user by the second user performing an operation of viewing the message or the like. Further, the terminal device 10B may notify the terminal device 10A of the first user that the second user has viewed the message. This encourages both the first user and the second user to sleep in an attempt to achieve their sleep goals.

In addition, another user may be able to set a reward given to the user when the sleep goal is achieved. For example, the first user can set a reward given to the second user when the second user achieves the sleep goal. Thus, for example, when the first user is the parent of the second user, the parent (first user) presents the child (second user) with a sleep goal while the child (second user). The child (second user) is rewarded when the user) sleeps according to the goal. Here, when the first user sets the reward given when the second user reaches the sleep goal, the terminal device 10A recommends the reward presented by the first user to the second user. May be extracted and displayed based on the results of the game play of the second user. For example, a list of game objects related to the most frequently used player characters used by the second user in gameplay (eg, equipment items for the most frequently used player characters, items that can be transferred to senior positions, evolution). (Materials to be made, etc.) may be presented to the first user as a recommendation of the reward to be set for the second user.

As a result, multiple users will be encouraged to jointly achieve their sleep goals, and by rewarding multiple users by sleeping together, the fun of the game can be further improved. it can.

<4 screen example>
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a screen example of the terminal device 10.

The screen example (A) of FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a phase in which the user's sleep performance is evaluated, evaluation parameters are generated, and game play is performed using the evaluation parameters. Corresponds to steps S657, S603, and S605 of FIG.

As shown in the screen example (A), the terminal device 10 displays the user level 132A, the evaluation parameter 132B, the game start button 132C, and the notification display unit 132G on the display 132.

The user level 132A represents the level of the user who is playing the game as a player. The terminal device 10 gives an experience value (player experience value) to the user himself / herself instead of the game character when the user plays the game. The terminal device 10 recovers the stamina value or raises the maximum value of the stamina value by raising the level as a player.

The evaluation parameter 132B is an area for displaying the evaluation parameter for evaluating the user's sleep performance.

The notification display unit 132G is an area for notifying the user of the content for controlling the progress of the game based on the evaluation parameter (a parameter that evaluates the user's sleep performance and therefore can also represent the goodness of the user's physical condition). Is. In the screen example (A), the terminal device 10 displays a notification indicating that the user is in good physical condition according to the evaluation parameter (sleep parameter) (display such as "I am in good physical condition"). Depending on the value of the evaluation parameter being good, it is possible to provide the user with an experience as if the good physical condition of the user is reflected in the game play. Specifically, the terminal device 10 increases the experience value acquired by the user in the game play in the notification display unit 132G, and makes it less likely to be damaged when the user fights with the enemy character by the player character. Etc., notify the user that the progress of the game is advantageous to the user.

The game start button 132C is an area for the terminal device 10 to receive an operation for starting another game from the user instead of the game program being executed.

For example, when the physical condition of the user is good, the physical condition of the user can be further improved by encouraging the user to move his / her own body. Therefore, the terminal device 10 is another game program that prompts the user to move the body in response to receiving the user's operation on the game start button 132C when the value of the evaluation parameter is good. (For example, a game using map information, such as a game in which the user can advance the game by moving in the real world) may be displayed to prompt the user to start. The terminal device 10 starts another game program in response to the user's start operation.

In addition, the evaluation parameters may not be good and the user may be in poor physical condition.
The screen example (B) shows a screen display example when the user is not in good physical condition. In the terminal device 10, the game progress is such that the experience value acquired by the user in the game play is reduced in the notification display unit 132G, and the user is easily damaged when the player character fights with the enemy character. Notify the user that it will be disadvantageous to the user. Further, as shown in the notification display unit 132G, the terminal device 10 may give a notification urging the user to play another game so that the fatigue accumulated in the body of the user does not increase.

As described above, an example of starting another game in response to the user's operation on the game start button 132C has been described. Here, the value of the evaluation parameter may be a parameter that can be commonly used by the user in a plurality of game programs. The terminal device 10 may display a list of game programs in which the value of the evaluation parameter can be used by the user, and may accept the designation of the game program to be executed from the user.

Further, in at least one of the terminal device 10 and the server 20, the evaluation parameters generated by the user taking daily sleep may be accumulated and managed. The terminal device 10 and the server 20 may use the accumulated evaluation parameter values to provide the user with a plurality of games in which the evaluation parameters can be used. For example, a user ID can be issued on a portal site or the like, and the cumulative value of evaluation parameters accumulated by the user can be managed in association with the user ID. The evaluation parameters can be used in various ways in each of the plurality of games. For example, it is possible to provide a game item that can be obtained only by consuming the evaluation parameter. Further, for example, instead of the virtual currency, it may be possible to perform a specific game process using an evaluation parameter.
This encourages the user to take daily sleep to reach their sleep goals.

The screen example (C) is a diagram showing a phase in which a plurality of users are encouraged to achieve a sleep goal. Corresponds to each process of FIG.

As shown in the screen example (C), the terminal device 10 displays the sleep schedule information 132H and the friend sleep schedule 132J on the notification display unit 132G. The terminal device 10 displays the notification button 132K.

The terminal device 10 displays on the notification display unit 132G to urge the user to go to bed at the same time as the other user. At this time, the sleep schedule information (scheduled bedtime and wake-up time) of the user of the terminal device 10 is displayed on the sleep schedule information 132H. At the same time, the sleep schedule information of another user (in the screen example (C), the family) having the same attributes as the user is displayed on the friend sleep schedule 132J.

The notification button 132K is an area for receiving an operation when the user starts sleeping. The user starts to sleep after performing an input operation to the notification button 132K. In order to prevent the user from operating the terminal device 10 even though he / she is going to sleep, the terminal device 10 is scheduled to wake up in response to the user's input operation to the notification button 132K. The input operation to the terminal device 10 may not be accepted until the time of.

In response to the user's input operation to the notification button 132K, the terminal device 10 notifies other users having the same attributes as the user that the user is going to sleep.

In the screen example (D), when the user sleeps according to the sleep target, the terminal device 10 causes the player character to perform a specific game action during sleep, and after the user wakes up, the game action is performed. The aspect of displaying the result is shown. Corresponds to each process of FIG.

The terminal device 10 displays the notification display unit 132P, the message 132Q, the receiving operation receiving unit 132R, and the like.

The notification display unit 132P displays whether or not the user has slept according to the sleep target. In the illustrated example, the terminal device 10 displays on the notification display unit 132P that the user has been able to wake up at the scheduled wake-up time, which is the target of sleep.

The message 132Q is an area for displaying the content of the game action performed by the player character during sleep as a result of the user sleeping according to the sleep target. In the illustrated example, the terminal device 10 causes the player character to perform a specific game action (such as selling an item) while the user is sleeping, and accepts the purchase of the item from another user (user “C”). , Indicates that the price has been received in the in-game currency.

The receiving operation receiving unit 132R is an area for receiving an operation for the user to receive the reward given to the user. When the user's sleep has reached the target, the reward may be received by the receiving operation reception unit 132R.

<Summary>
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user's game progress can be advantageous if the user sleeps appropriately. As a specific mode in which the game progress is advantageous, when the user plays the game when waking up and the clearing conditions for each game are satisfied, the reward at the time of clearing is more advantageous to the user as the user sleeps appropriately. It may be.

This encourages the user to get proper sleep, and also provides the user with an incentive to play the game itself by giving a reward at the time of clearing the game unit.

<Modification example>
(1) In the explanation of FIG. 8 and the like, an example in which a first user and a second user present a sleep goal to each other, sleep together, and achieve a sleep goal to give a reward has been described. .. In addition to this, the period during which the first user and the second user sleep may be different. A reward may be given to at least one of the first user and the second user by playing a game by the second user while the first user is sleeping. This makes it possible to further improve the interest of the second user to play the game while encouraging the first user to sleep so as to reach the sleep goal.

(2) In FIGS. 4, 8, 9, 9 and the like, it has been explained that various attributes such as groups are set for the user. He explained that there are "family" as a group. In addition to this, the reward given when the user achieves the sleep goal may be the content according to the attribute of the user. For example, in FIG. 8 and the like, the reward when a plurality of users in a family achieve a sleep goal is different from the reward when users in a group such as a guild, not a family, achieve a sleep goal. May be good.

(3) In the above embodiment, the terminal device 10 has been described to detect that the user has entered the bed and that the user has fallen asleep after entering the bed. In this case, the terminal device 10 may give a reward to the user when the user falls asleep without accepting an input operation to the terminal device 10 after the user enters the floor. It is possible to support the user who is going to sleep to achieve the sleep goal without operating the terminal device 10.

<Second Embodiment>
As described above, in the first embodiment, an example in which the user is given various rewards in the game by achieving the sleep goal has been described. In the second embodiment, the following will be described.

(1) Technology for dealing with the fact that the user operates the terminal device 10 before falling asleep Even though the user is trying to fall asleep in bed, he / she is not on hand or notifies the terminal device 10. It may be difficult to fall asleep because the terminal device 10 or the like is operated due to anxiety or the like. When the user sees the light emitted from the backlight of the display 132 of the terminal device 10, the user may be prevented from falling asleep and the sleep habit may not be appropriate.

Therefore, there is a need for a technique for preventing the user from operating the terminal device 10 before falling asleep.

In the second embodiment, a technique for encouraging the user not to operate the terminal device 10 during the period from the state in which the user is in bed (the state in which he / she is not sleeping but lying on the bed) to falling asleep is provided. explain.

(2) Technology that notifies the user to sleep at an appropriate timing In the case of a technology that notifies the user of a predetermined scheduled sleep time by push notification or the like, the user is temporarily sleeping. If push notifications are given during this time period, the user's sleep may be disturbed.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, a technique for notifying the user to sleep at an appropriate time zone will be described.

(3) Technology that encourages the user to move to sleep properly based on the information of the user's current position When the user is away from the place where the user sleeps, such as when the user is out, the scheduled bedtime arrives. Even so, it can be difficult for the user to sleep.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, in order to support the sleep of the user, a technique for notifying the user in consideration of the current position of the user will be described.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a process of giving a reward in a game to a user because the terminal device 10 is not operated before the user falls asleep.

In step S1001, the terminal device 10 is in a position for the user to sleep based on the output of the motion sensor of the terminal device 10 such as the sleep measurement device 11B (for example, lying on the bed, etc.). Detecting that you have entered the bed).

In step S1003, the terminal device 10 initializes the game points in response to the detection in step S1001 that the user is in a position to sleep, and starts a process of varying the game points over time. For example, the terminal device 10 adds a predetermined value to the game points every time a certain period of time elapses.

In step S1005, after the user enters the bed, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the user has fallen asleep based on the output of the motion sensor of the terminal device 10 such as the sleep measurement device 11B. The terminal device 10 initializes the above game points when the user's input operation to the terminal device 10 is detected before the user falls asleep. That is, when the terminal device 10 operates the terminal device 10 before the user falls asleep, the terminal device 10 discards the fluctuation amount of the game points due to the passage of time and resets the game points that are rewards to the user. When the terminal device 10 detects that the user has fallen asleep, the terminal device 10 rewards the user for not operating the terminal device 10 during the period from when the user is prepared to sleep until the user falls asleep. Give. Further, the terminal device 10 receives a reward that is more advantageous for the user in game play as the period is longer, depending on the length of the period (that is, the time elapsed from the user trying to sleep until the user actually falls asleep). Give to the user. Further, the terminal device 10 interrupts the process of changing the game points with the passage of time based on the timing when the user falls asleep, and grants the user the game points changed with the passage of time in the period until the user falls asleep.

As a condition for resetting the reward given to the user, not only when the user operates the terminal device 10 before the user falls asleep, but also when the user operates not only the terminal device 10 but also other devices. It may be included. For example, the reward given to the user may be reset when the terminal device 10 is not operated after the user enters the floor but another device such as a wearable device is operated. That is, the user may be able to obtain a reward in the period until falling asleep by not operating any device other than the terminal device 10 after entering the bed.

As a result, even if the user has difficulty falling asleep after entering the bed, such as lying on the bed, the reward that can be used in the game can be obtained by not operating the terminal device 10, and the period during which the user has not fallen asleep is long. Indeed, the content of the reward can be advantageous. Therefore, the user is urged to concentrate on falling asleep without operating the terminal device 10, even if it takes a long time from entering the bed to falling asleep.

In step S1007, the terminal device 10 detects the timing when the user is in a sleep position, the timing when the user falls asleep, and the history of the user operating the terminal device 10 (after entering the bed, trying to fall asleep, after all, Information on the operation to the terminal device 10 when the user has operated the terminal device 10), the content of the reward acquired by the user, and the information on the game points acquired by the user are transmitted to the server 20.

In step S1055, the server 20 receives information on various parameters of the user from the terminal device 10 and updates various data such as the user information database 281 and the sleep record information 283.

As described above, (1) a technique for dealing with the fact that the user operates the terminal device 10 before falling asleep has been described.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a process in which the terminal device 10 notifies the user of information related to sleep at an appropriate timing.

In step S1101, the terminal device 10 sets the time when the user plans to go to bed (scheduled bedtime) by the user's operation. The terminal device 10 sets the place where the user sleeps based on the history of the user's current position by the user's operation or regardless of the user's operation. The terminal device 10 transmits information on the scheduled bedtime and the place where the user sleeps to the server 20.

In step S1155, the server 20 receives information on the user's scheduled bedtime and the place where the user sleeps from the terminal device 10, and retains these information by updating the user information database 281 and the like.

In step S1103, the terminal device 10 determines the timing of notifying the user to sleep. Based on the scheduled bedtime time specified by the user in step S1101, the terminal device 10 determines, for example, a notification time zone (notification timing) so as to notify the user a certain time before the scheduled bedtime. Further, the terminal device 10 determines the time zone for notification based on the user's past sleep record so as to be accumulated in the sleep record information 283 of the server 20.

For example, the period from the time when the user enters the bed the day before to the time when the user wakes up is the time zone when the user was trying to sleep or the user was actually sleeping. Therefore, the terminal device 10 may determine that the time zone in which the user actually went to bed is the timing at which the above notification is not performed, based on the past record of the user's sleep (that is, the above). The notification may be given in the time zone other than the time zone of).

In step S1105, the terminal device 10 acquires the information of the user's current position by the position information sensor 150 or the like. When the location information is input to each schedule in the user's schedule information, the terminal device 10 specifies the user's current position at the time of the schedule based on the location information associated with the schedule. You may.

The terminal device 10 specifies the travel time required to move from the user's current position to the place where the user sleeps, based on the information on the user's current position and the information on the place where the user sleeps. For example, the terminal device 10 may specify the time required to move from the user's current position to the place where he / she sleeps, based on route information such as public transportation, information on road congestion, and the like.

The terminal device 10 determines the timing of notifying the user based on the time required for movement so that the user can perform an action for sleeping (such as going to bed) by the scheduled bedtime set by the user. To do. The terminal device 10 determines the timing of notifying the user by tracing back the time required for movement from the scheduled bedtime and providing a certain margin. For example, when the scheduled bedtime is "23:00" and the time required for movement is "55 minutes", the terminal device 10 provides "35 minutes" as a margin, and for example, the timing of notifying the user. Is determined to be "21:30". In addition, the terminal device 10 notifies the time when the user should start moving to a place where the user sleeps (such as home) so that the user reaches the sleep target (so that he / she can sleep at the scheduled bedtime). , "Let's leave the current position at 21:30 so that we can go to bed at the scheduled bedtime of 23:00").

The terminal device 10 may determine the above margin based on the user's past sleep performance. For example, if the user fails to reach the sleep goal even though the first time is set as the margin and the timing for notifying the user is determined, the terminal device 10 sets the first time as the margin. It may be set to a longer time than.

In step S1107, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the user is asleep at the timing of notifying the user to go to bed, and if the user is asleep, the notification does not interfere with the user's sleep. The notification will not be given. In addition, the terminal device 10 notifies the user when the user is not asleep at the timing of notifying the user to go to bed.

In addition, the terminal device 10 notifies the user when the current position of the user is different from the place where the user sleeps at the timing of notifying the user. That is, since the user is not in a place to sleep, the user is notified to urge him to go to bed.

If the user is in a place different from the place where the user sleeps, regardless of the past record of the user's sleep, since there is no user in the place where the user sleeps, a notification prompting the user to sleep should be given at a predetermined timing. May be.

As described above, (2) a technology for notifying the user to sleep at an appropriate timing, and (3) moving the user to sleep appropriately based on the information of the user's current position. I explained the technology to promote sleep.

FIG. 12 is a diagram of a screen example of the terminal device 10 according to the second embodiment.
The screen example (A) shows a display example in (1) a technique for dealing with the fact that the user operates the terminal device 10 before falling asleep. As shown in the screen example (A), the terminal device 10 displays the notification 132T1, the notification 132T2, and the button 132T3 on the display 132.

The notification 132T1 is an area in which the terminal device 10 notifies the user that a reward for game points can be obtained by not operating the terminal device 10 between the time when the user enters the bed and the time when the user falls asleep. Is. In the notification 132T1, the terminal device 10 displays the cumulative value of the game points accumulated by the user acquiring the game points over a plurality of days as "sleeping intensive game points". In the notification 132T1, the game points increase with the passage of time between the initial value of the game points and the time when the user falls asleep, and the user sets the terminal device 10 before the user falls asleep. It is displayed that the game points will be reset by operating. The game points may be used for various purposes in the game. For example, the game points may be used as virtual currency that can be used in the game, or can be exchanged for virtual currency.

The notification 132T2 indicates that a reward that can be used in the game is given to the user not operating the terminal device 10 from the time he / she goes to bed until he / she falls asleep.

Button 132T3 is a button for accepting a user's input operation. The terminal device 10 may specify the timing when the user enters the floor or the timing when the user falls asleep by accepting the input operation for the button 132T3. The terminal device 10 logs off the user from the game in response to the input operation for the button 132T3, and invalidates (locks) the operation for the terminal device 10. When the operation on the terminal device 10 is invalidated in this way, the terminal device 10 may determine the timing for canceling the invalidation based on the user's sleep target (scheduled wake-up time, etc.).

The screen example (B) and the screen example (C) are based on (2) a technique for notifying the user to sleep at an appropriate timing, and (3) information on the user's current position. Shows an example of a display in a technique for encouraging movement to sleep properly.

As shown in the screen example (B), the terminal device 10 displays the notification 132T5. Notification 132T5 includes content that encourages the user to return home on the go to achieve their sleep goals. The notification 132T5 also includes content that urges the user to reach a sleep goal and to be rewarded for not operating the terminal device 10 from the time he falls asleep to the time he falls asleep. Further, as shown in the notification 132T5, the terminal device 10 includes information indicating the time when the user starts returning home in the content of the notification.

In the screen example (B), a wording (wording "soon") that suggests to the user when to start moving to the place to sleep, such as the current time and the text "I have to start going home soon ..." )It is included. This allows the user to recognize that he / she should start returning home at the time indicated as the current time.

The screen example (C) shows a screen example in which the user unlocks the terminal device 10 in the screen example (B). As shown in the screen example (C), the terminal device 10 displays the target 132T4, the notification 132T5, the reward content 132T6, and the reward content 132T7.

The target 132T4 includes information on the current position of the user, information on the time required for the user to move to the place where the user sleeps, and information on the scheduled bedtime.

The reward content 132T6 notifies the user that the reward in the game is received when the user reaches the sleep goal. Specifically, as a condition for obtaining the reward, the user is presented with the fact that he / she should go to bed by the scheduled bedtime and that he / she should fall asleep. As shown, the content of the reward is also presented to the user.

The reward content 132T7 notifies the user that the reward in the game is given for not operating the terminal device 10 between the time when the user enters the bed and the time when the user falls asleep. As shown, the content of the reward is also presented to the user.

<Third embodiment>
As described above, in the second embodiment, the technique for coping with the operation of the terminal device 10 before the user falls asleep and the notification for urging the user to sleep at an appropriate timing. The technology to be performed was explained. In the third embodiment, the following will be described.

(1) Provide a technique for encouraging the user to have a regular sleep habit by associating the data related to the user's sleep with the ranking information.

(I) For example, a game mode is prepared in which a user who has an appropriate sleep habit can participate, but a user who does not have an appropriate sleep habit cannot participate. As such a game mode, there is a multiplayer mode in which a plurality of users participate. For example, it may be possible to match user groups with appropriate sleep habits and play joint battles or competitive games.

(Ii) It may be possible to promote interaction between users who have appropriate sleep habits and interaction between user groups who do not have appropriate sleep habits. For example, exchanges include sending and receiving messages, whether or not multiplayer is possible, and participation in rankings. That is, while providing a ranking battle between users having appropriate sleep habits, it is also possible to provide a ranking battle in which only users with inappropriate sleep habits or a plurality of users can participate regardless of sleep habits.

(Iii) The users may be grouped according to the sleep time zone of the users, and each group may promote interaction between the users. For example, the users may be grouped into morning type and night type according to the sleep time zone of the user, and the morning type users may be able to participate in message transmission / reception, multiplayer, ranking, and the like.

(Iv) Users may be grouped according to the length of sleep time of the users. For example, it may be possible to provide a group to which only users who have slept for a certain period of time or longer are assigned, and to be able to perform multiplayer, ranking, etc. among the users of the group. As described above, when a user wants to interact with another user, if each is assigned to a different user group, one of the users needs to change the sleep habit.

(2) Provide a technique for encouraging users to have regular sleep habits by using information on the user's sleep in a game and using it as a parameter that affects interaction between users.

For example, the game may be advanced so that the better the quality of sleep of the user, the more advantageous the user is. Good sleep quality of the user means that the user has a well-established habit of falling asleep, the length of sleep, the time to go to bed, and the habit of sleeping (daily sleep). The track record is stable to a certain extent in terms of sleep time, sleep quality, etc.), etc.

For example, the quality of sleep of the user may be evaluated to determine the game parameters of the user, and the game play may be advanced according to the determined game parameters. It is assumed that the better the quality of sleep of the user, the better the physical condition of the user. Therefore, the better the quality of sleep of the user, the better the value of the game parameter is in the game. As a result, matching between users is performed based on the game parameters (matching between users with good sleep quality and good physical condition), and parameters such as the ability value of the game character are adjusted based on the game parameters (for example,). Parameters that indicate the goodness of the game character, etc.) can be created.

Further, the difficulty level of the game may be adjusted according to the value of the game parameter. For example, based on the game parameters, the better the quality of sleep of the user, the more difficult the gameplay may be. Further, based on the game parameters, users having similar sleep qualities may be matched with each other. The game parameter may be, for example, the evaluation parameter (step S655 or the like) described in the first embodiment.

With the above configuration, the user can get a habit of getting a proper sleep because the fun of the game is further improved by the user getting a proper sleep.

Further, for example, in a game program in which a large number of users participate, the number of simultaneous connections may increase only in a specific time zone (for example, when the number of connected users is extremely large only in the midnight time zone). In this case as well, the time zone in which the user participates can be dispersed by encouraging the user to have an appropriate sleep habit. Therefore, when the game operator prepares the resources (server cost, etc.) necessary for operating the game, the peak in which the users participate at the same time can be reduced, and the operating cost can be suppressed.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a process of using information on the user's sleep for ranking.

In step S1301, the terminal device 10 acquires information about the user's sleep and transmits it to the server 20.

In step S1353, the server 20 receives information about sleep from the user and updates the sleep record information 283 and the like.

In step S1355, the server 20 assigns each user to one of the plurality of groups based on the sleep performance of each user. The server 20 evaluates whether the sleep quality of the user is above a certain level, and assigns the user whose sleep quality is above a certain level to a specific group.

For example, sleep quality above a certain level may mean that the user is sleeping according to the user's sleep goals (scheduled bedtime, scheduled wake-up time), and the sleep time is above a certain level. It may be the case that the time until the user falls asleep is within a certain time (that is, it is good to fall asleep).

Further, the server 20 may group each user according to the sleep time zone of each user. For example, users with a morning lifestyle may be in the same group, and users with a night lifestyle may be in the same group.

In step S1357, the server 20 aggregates the ranking for each group to which the user belongs. For example, during the event period, ranking points are given to the user according to the user's game play. For example, ranking points are given according to the number of times the user operates the game character to defeat the enemy character, the history of having the game character perform a specific action such as activating a skill, and the length of time required to clear the game. Will be done. The server 20 holds the result of totaling the rankings for each group as a database in storage or the like, and transmits the result to the terminal device 10.

In step S1303, the terminal device 10 receives information about the ranking from the server 20. The terminal device 10 presents the aggregated result of the ranking of the group to which the user belongs to the user by displaying it on the display 132 or the like. As a result, the user can acquire rewards (game items, etc.) that can be used in the game according to the ranking result (user's ranking). For example, when a user wants to obtain a reward that can be obtained only in a specific ranking, it may not even be possible to participate in the ranking simply by playing the game for a long time. Then, in that case, the user is encouraged to improve the lifestyle and to secure a longer sleeping time.

In step S1305, the terminal device 10 receives from the user gameplay based on the group assigned according to the user's sleep performance. For example, the terminal device 10 provides a user with a multiplayer game such as a battle or a joint battle by matching with another user assigned to the same group.

When the server 20 assigns the user of the terminal device 10 to a group whose sleep quality is equal to or higher than a certain level in step S1355, the terminal device 10 releases the game mode provided only to the users of the group to the user. ..

In addition, although the server 20 assigns a group of users in step S1355, the group may be assigned every day or at regular intervals. For example, if the server 20 performs daily grouping based on information about the user's sleep, the user of the terminal device 10 may be able to earn rewards based on the ranking of the groups assigned the day before.

<Fourth Embodiment>
As described above, in the description of the third embodiment, the technique for encouraging the user to have a regular sleep habit has been described. Specifically, as a technology that promotes interaction between users by having appropriate sleep habits, it is possible for users with appropriate sleep habits to play multiplayer such as battles and joint battles, and sleep habits are appropriate. It was explained that the ranking of game events and the like is displayed among the users.

In the fourth embodiment, a technique for encouraging the user to sleep at a specific position will be described.

The specific location is, for example, a facility (accommodation facility) that provides an accommodation function to the user, such as a hotel or an inn. In addition, the specific position may be a facility such as a relaxation salon where the user's body is treated and rested.

Here, the terminal device 10 or the server 20 will be described as accepting the registration of the position where the user sleeps on a daily basis, such as at home, from the user and storing it in the user information database 281 or the like. Hereinafter, a process of giving a privilege to the user by sleeping at a specific position other than the position registered by the user will be described.

As a result, for example, it is possible to encourage the user not only to move to a tourist spot or the like but also to stay there.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a process of giving a privilege to the user by sleeping at a specific position such as an accommodation facility. It is assumed that the registration of the home is accepted from the user of the terminal device 10 in advance.

In step S1401, the terminal device 10 receives an operation of reserving accommodation at the accommodation facility from the user. Bookings for accommodation include the date of stay, number of guests, information identifying the property, cooking courses, coupon application, and other information related to the booking. The terminal device 10 transmits information indicating the accommodation reservation content to the server 20 based on the operation content of the user.

In step S1451, the server 20 receives a reservation for accommodation at the accommodation facility in response to the input operation of the user of the terminal device 10. The server 20 presents the information of the user who reserves the accommodation, the accommodation date, and other information related to the accommodation reservation to the terminal device of the accommodation facility. The server 20 performs a process of settling the accommodation fee in response to the operation of the accommodation reservation of the user of the terminal device 10. The server 20 stores the information related to the user's accommodation reservation as a database in the storage unit 202.

Further, although not shown, the server 20 records the information on the position of the user at the timing when the user sleeps in the sleep record information 283. For example, in the terminal device 10, the position information sensor 150 acquires the user's position at the time when the user is in bed, the user is sleeping, the user is awake, and the like. The terminal device 10 includes information on the position where the user has slept in the information on the user's sleep, and transmits the information to the server 20.

After that, it is assumed that the terminal device 10 detects that the user has entered the floor, that the user has fallen asleep, and the like.

In step S1403, when the terminal device 10 detects that the user has started sleeping, such as that the user has entered the floor or has fallen asleep, the user sleeps based on the output of the position information sensor 150 or the like. Get the information of the position you are taking.

In step S1405, the terminal device 10 transmits information on the timing of sleep of the user and information on the position where the user is sleeping to the server 20.

In step S1453, when the server 20 receives the information on the sleep timing of the user and the information on the position where the user is sleeping from the terminal device 10, the server 20 updates the sleep record information 283 and the like.

In step S1455, the server 20 sleeps at a specific position such as an accommodation facility at a specific time zone (for example, midnight zone such as from 23:00 to 2:00 am the next day) based on the sleep record information 283 and the like. Determine if you went. The server 20 grants a privilege in the game when the user sleeps at a specific position at a specific time zone.

Here, the specific location may be the location of the facility where the user has reserved a stay such as accommodation or temporary use. Further, the specific position may be the position of the facility included in the list held in advance by the server 20, regardless of whether or not the server 20 holds the information indicating that the user has reserved. .. In addition, when the user makes a reservation to use the accommodation facility and then sleeps according to the reservation contents of the accommodation facility, the user is more advantageous than the case where the user sleeps without reservation. You may give a privilege. For example, the user may be given a privilege for using the accommodation facility or the like by summarizing. As a result, it is possible to encourage the user to reserve and use the facility or the like.

Further, as a condition for giving the user a privilege, it may be included that the user sleeps at a plurality of specific positions. At this time, the order of the plurality of positions for sleeping, the date for sleeping, and the like may be specified in the terminal device 10 or the server 20. For example, the user may sleep on the first date, and the user may sleep at another facility within a certain period of time (for example, the next day) from the first date to give the user a privilege. In addition, the user first sleeps at an accommodation facility in the first area (for example, facility "A"), and then sleeps at an accommodation facility in the second area (for example, facility "B"). The privilege may be given to the user. Thereby, for example, in a certain area, the user can be encouraged to stay in a plurality of areas while staying consecutive nights. It is also possible to encourage users to stay in various places in a certain order.

The specific time zone is not limited to the midnight zone and may be another time zone. For example, when the user sleeps at a hotel, a relaxation salon, or the like during a time zone other than accommodation, such as from 13:00 to 15:00, the user may be given a privilege. Furthermore, as a condition for granting benefits, the operator of the accommodation facility, the system administrator, etc. can freely decide which time zone the specific time zone should be, via the terminal for the operator or the terminal for the administrator. It may be possible to change the setting to.

Further, giving the user a privilege may mean giving the user an effect that makes the user's game progress advantageous, such as an advantage in the login bonus or an increase in a predetermined parameter of the user. Further, giving a privilege to the user may mean giving a predetermined game item (free virtual currency, an item for obtaining a game object by lottery, a material item, etc.) to the user as a reward.

Further, when the server 20 grants the privilege to the user, the quality of the sleep of the user may be evaluated based on the information on the sleep of the user, and the content of the privilege may be changed according to the quality of the sleep of the user. For example, the quality of sleep of the user is above a certain level (for example, it can be determined that the user is deeply asleep based on the time until the user falls asleep within a certain time, the time of REM sleep / non-REM sleep, and the like. When the user is in bed during the time period, etc.), the user may be given more advantageous benefits than when the sleep quality is below a certain level. Further, when the quality of sleep is below a certain level, the user may not be given a privilege. This can encourage the user to get enough sleep at the accommodation facility or the like.

In step S1457, the server 20 determines an evaluation value for evaluating the accommodation facility or the like where the user has slept, based on the quality of sleep of the user. The server 20 records the information of the accommodation facility and the like and the evaluation value of the accommodation facility and the like in the storage unit 202 in association with the user information. As a result, evaluation values are accumulated for each of the plurality of facilities based on the quality of sleep when the user sleeps.

In step S1459, the server 20 extracts information on facilities that the user of the terminal device 10 is recommended to use for sleeping due to accommodation or the like, based on the evaluation value of the accommodation facility or the like. The server 20 transmits the extracted facility information to the terminal device 10.

For example, in step S1457, since the evaluation values based on the sleep quality of a plurality of users are accumulated for each facility, the facilities whose evaluation values are equal to or higher than a certain level may be presented to the users. Further, as a user related to the user of the terminal device 10, a facility having a high evaluation value such as a user registered as a friend in the friend list 282 may be presented as a recommendation to the user of the terminal device 10. Further, as a user related to the user of the terminal device 10, a facility having a high evaluation value such as another user having a sleep record similar to or more than a certain level with the sleep record (sleep record information 283) of the user of the terminal device 10 is provided. , May be presented as a recommendation to the user of the terminal device 10.

In step S1409, the terminal device 10 presents the facility information presented as recommended by the server 20 to the user on the display 132 or the like. The terminal device 10 presents to the user the contents of the privilege given to the user by using the facilities presented as the recommendations for accommodation or the like. The terminal device 10 may display on the display 132 a user interface (operation buttons and the like) for accepting an input operation for reserving the use of the facility to the user together with the contents of these benefits. As a result, the user can start the operation for making a reservation for the facility while confirming the contents of the privilege.

In addition, when the progress of the game of the user is a specific situation, the terminal device 10 presents the candidate of the facility to be used by the user to the user, and at the same time, the specific time zone in the facility. It may be shown that the benefits are given by sleeping in the room.

Here, the progress of the game is a specific situation, for example, when the user is not likely to satisfy the clearing condition of a predetermined game unit (quest), the game progress is advantageous because the user obtains a privilege. There are situations such as For example, when the level of the boss character is higher than the strength of the user's operating character and the possibility of failing to defeat the boss character is above a certain level, or when the total strength of the operating character's strength (level, When the ability value) is lower than the value recommended for each game, it is determined that the user is not likely to satisfy the clearing condition for the predetermined game unit. In this case, the content of the privilege is given a game item that strengthens the user's operation character, and an effect that favors the game progress can be obtained (for example, the parameter of the user's operation character increases during the game unit. Etc.) may be used.

As described above, the fourth embodiment has been described. According to the above configuration, since the user sleeps at the accommodation facility or the like to give the user a privilege in the game, it is possible to encourage the user to use the accommodation facility or the like. Further, when the user gives a privilege to the user when the accommodation facility or the like is reserved in advance, the cancellation rate of the accommodation facility or the like can be further reduced.

<Data structure>
FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a data structure of the sleep measurement device setting 284 stored in the server 20.

As shown in FIG. 16, each of the records of the sleep measurement device setting 284 has the item "sleep measurement device ID", the item "device name", the item "device provision period", the item "sensing specification", and the item. Includes "effects during gameplay" and the like.

The item "sleep measurement device ID" is information for identifying the sleep measurement device.
The item "device name" indicates the name of the sleep measurement device.
The item "device provision period" indicates the period during which the sleep measurement device is provided by the operator. The period includes information on when the sleep measurement device was released, when the sale of the sleep measurement device ended, and when the support provided by the sleep measurement device operator ended. As a result, the terminal device 10 and the like can determine whether the sleep measurement device has not been released or is on sale.
The item "Sensing Specifications" indicates the specifications of various sensor devices for the sleep measuring device to sense the user's sleep. The specifications of the sensor device include information such as an object that can be measured by the sensor device (as shown in the figure, sleep quality, sleep time, biological information, etc. are included in the measurement object), sensing accuracy, and the like. As shown in FIG. 16, the objects that can be sensed by each sleep measuring device may be different. For example, some sleep measuring devices may be able to measure sleep time but not sleep quality.
The item "effect during game play" indicates the content of the effect set for the user in the game based on the game program when the user uses the sleep measurement device shown in the item "sleep measurement device ID".

The content of the effect includes those that affect the game parameters. For example, the contents of the effect include (1) affecting the ease of acquisition of game objects (game characters, game items, etc.) that the user can acquire along with game play. For example, when the user measures sleep using a specific sleep measurement device, the setting of the probability for the user to acquire the game object is set to a predetermined setting.

Further, for example, when the user is made to probabilistically acquire game content (including a game object) by detecting that the user has woken up from sleep information or the like, the probability is used to acquire sleep information. It may be decided according to the sleep measuring device to be performed.

It should be noted that such a change in probability may be performed by changing a table that defines the probability that the game content can be acquired. For example, a plurality of tables may be prepared in advance on the server 20 or the like, and the information specifying the sleep measurement device may be associated with each table. Further, the probability may be changed by calculation using a variable or the like.

As a result, when the user is using a specific sleep measurement device, the user can obtain an effect such that the user can easily acquire a specific game object (game character or the like) during game play.

In addition to this, the contents of the effect include (2) affecting the game unit in which the user can play the game. For example, the user may use a specific sleep measurement device to use or change the probability that a specific game unit (quest, extra stage, etc.) can be used. For example, when the quest to subdue the boss character is cleared and another quest is generated stochastically, the probability may be changed according to the information identifying the sleep measurement device.

In addition to this, the contents of the effect include (3) affecting the game parameters given to the user. For example, in association with the information that identifies the sleep measurement device, the game parameters given to the user are set according to the length of the sleep time of the user, and the game given to these users is set for each sleep measurement device. The parameters may be different. As an example, the length of the user's sleep time is divided into a plurality of categories (for example, (i) sleep time is 5 hours or less, (ii) sleep time is 5 hours or more and 7 hours or less, and (iii) sleep time is 7 hours or more. , Etc.), When game points etc. are given to the user according to each category, the amount of game points given to the user in each of these categories may differ depending on the information that identifies the sleep measurement device. Good. Here, in order to provide a sleep measuring device suitable for a person having a relatively long sleep time, the amount of game points given may be increased as the sleep time is longer. Further, in order to provide a sleep measurement device suitable for a person having a relatively short sleep time, the shorter the sleep time, the larger the amount of game points awarded may be.

Further, for example, it may affect the privilege obtained by the user launching the game program. For example, if the user is using a particular sleep measurement device, the login bonus at game launch may be changed. It may also be a login bonus given only if you continue to use a particular sleep measurement device. At this time, different login bonuses can be provided according to the number of device types to motivate the user to continue using the plurality of devices.

Such an effect may be set for the user over a certain period of time. For example, the login bonus may be changed over a period of time or a number of times after using a particular sleep measurement device.

When the login bonus is affected as described above as an effect set for the user in the game when the user measures the sleep by the sleep measurement device 11B, (i) the following sleep information is measured by the sleep measurement device 11B. There are cases where the user logs in to the game on a day, and (ii) the sleep information is measured, but the user logs in to the game on or after the next day. In some cases, the user has logged in to the game, but the user has not measured the sleep information by the sleep measuring device 11B within a predetermined number of days before logging in.

In the case of (iii) above, since the user has logged in to the game but there is no sleep information acquired by the sleep measuring device 11B, the login bonus due to the login may be only given to the user. On the other hand, in each of the above cases (i) and (ii), apart from the login bonus given by the user logging in to the game, the sleep measurement device 11B acquired the sleep measurement device 11B in a predetermined period prior to the login timing. By having the sleep information, the user may be given a privilege.

<Operation>
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a process in which the terminal device 10 acquires a sensing result from one or a plurality of sleep measuring devices (sleep measuring device 11B or the like) and stores the sensing result in the server 20 as a log.

In step S1751, the server 20 holds the sleep information of each user of the terminal device 10 in the sleep record information 283 in association with the information that identifies the sleep measurement device 11B and the like. The server 20 holds the sleep information of each user as a log regardless of whether or not an application (game program or the like) that uses the user's sleep information has been released and whether or not the service has been started.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a process of notifying the user of the terminal device 10 when the application using the sleep information of the user starts the service. As an example of the application, the case of a game program will be described.

In step S1851, the server 20 transmits information including a promotion regarding the release of a game program that uses sleep information to the terminal device 10. For example, the release start of the game program may be announced on SNS or the like, and the user may pre-register before the release. The server 20 transmits, for example, information including promotion to the user who has pre-registered in this way.

In step S1801, the terminal device 10 performs an operation of starting to link the sleep information with the game program that uses the sleep information even before the service start or the start of use of the game program that uses the sleep information. Accept from. That is, in the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the game program side (service provider side based on the game program) can refer to the user's sleep information by performing the interlocking operation by the user. Not limited to this.

In step S1853, the server 20 sets the user's sleep information to be linked to the game program that uses the sleep information in response to the user's operation in step S1801. As a result, the game program can provide the user with game progress or the like according to the user's sleep information.

After that, in step S1803, the terminal device 10 stores the user's sleep information in association with the information that identifies the sleep measurement device 11B and the like, and transmits it to the server 20.

In step S1855, the server 20 is set to exert a specific effect on the execution of the user's game program based on the sleep information log accumulated over one or more dates before the game program starts the service. ..

In step S1805, the terminal device 10 provides the user with a tutorial function before the start of the service of the game program that uses the sleep information or after the start of the service. The tutorial function has a function of evaluating the quality of the sensing result of the sleep measuring device 11B and the like and notifying the user. The terminal device 10 acquires the quality of each measurement of the sleep measuring device 11B or the like by acquiring the sleep record information 283 held in the server 20 or the like. The terminal device 10 determines a sleep measurement device to be presented to the user as a recommendation, and notifies the user of the determined sleep measurement device.

For example, the terminal device 10 recommends the sleep measurement device to the user when the measurement quality of the sleep measurement device used by the user is less than a certain level. For example, as a factor that the quality of the sleep measurement device is less than a certain level, the user uses the sleep measurement device placed on the mattress or the like, and the movement of a living body such as a user other than the user or a pet is included. Therefore, it is assumed that the sleep information contains an error. In this case, the terminal device 10 recommends to the user a wearable device type sleep measuring device to be worn by the user himself / herself.

When the provision of the service based on the game program is started, the server 20 performs the process of step S1857.

In step S1857, the server 20 advances the game based on the sleep information log after the service of the game program is started. Depending on the information that identifies the sleep measurement device that measured the sleep information of the user, a specific effect is set in the execution of the game program of the user.

The game may be advanced using the unit to exert a predetermined effect based on the information that identifies the sleep measurement device.

This can encourage the user to use multiple sleep measurement devices.

Further, when the server 20 provides the game service, the game is provided by advancing the game using the sensing results of some of the sleep measuring devices having good sensing quality among the sensing results of the plurality of sleep measuring devices. It is possible to provide the user with the interest that the person intended.

In this way, in addition to the example in which the server 20 determines some sleep measurement devices to be used in the game service based on the sensing quality of the plurality of sleep measurement devices, the specifications (type, accuracy, etc.) of the sleep measurement devices are used. ) May be used to determine some of the sleep measurement devices.

In addition, when the user uses multiple sleep measurement devices, the measurement results of some sleep measurement devices are prioritized and used for game processing, etc., and the measurement results of other sleep measurement devices are used complementarily. You may do it. The part of the sleep measurement device that uses the measurement result for game processing or the like may be determined in advance by the user's designation or the like, or by a game program or the like. Further, among the plurality of sleep measurement devices, some of the sleep measurement devices may be determined based on the order in which the measurement results are received by the terminal device 10 or the like. For example, when it is detected that the user has woken up based on the measurement results of a plurality of sleep measuring devices, the sleep measuring device that can detect that the user has woken up is the earliest to transmit the measurement result to the terminal device 10 or the like. It may be used in game processing and the like.

Further, for example, when the measurement quality of some of the sleep measuring devices used preferentially deteriorates, or when the terminal device 10 or the like detects that the battery has run out, the other sleep measuring devices The measurement result may be used for game processing or the like.

(2) Example of sharing the sleep measurement device 11B or the like with a plurality of users:
The sleep measurement device 11B or the like may be used by a plurality of unspecified users. For example, a sleep measuring device 11B or the like is installed in an accommodation facility or the like, and a user who uses the accommodation facility may measure sleep by the sleep measuring device 11B or the like.

When the terminal device 10 or the server 20 advances the game based on the sensing result of the sleep measuring device 11B or the like, or exerts a predetermined effect based on the information specifying the sleep measuring device 11B or the like, sleep. These game processes may be performed based on the information of the users who share the measurement device 11B and the like. For example, the terminal device 10 or the server 20 may associate users who share the sleep measurement device 11B and the like with each other, and perform a predetermined game process by these associated users. The terminal device 10 or the server 20 performs the predetermined game processing, for example, registering the associated users as friends with each other, providing a game unit that can be played only by the associated users, and the associated users. It is also possible to perform game processing such as performing multiplayer in.

When the sleep measurement device 11B is shared by a plurality of users, the sleep measurement device 11B may store the sensing result of the sleep measurement device 11B in association with the user information.

For example, the user may input information identifying the user into the sleep measurement device 11B before the user sleeps using the sleep measurement device 11B. The sleep measurement device 11B stores the sensing result and the information that identifies the user in association with each other by sensing the sleep measurement device 11B in a state where the user is specified or the user is specified.

Further, the sleep measurement device 11B may specify which user the sensing result belongs to according to the sleep pattern of the user.

By receiving the measurement result of the sleep measurement device 11B from the sleep measurement device 11B, the terminal device 10 stores the measurement result in association with the information that identifies the user who has slept.

When the measurement result of the sleep measurement device 11B is used for the game processing, the terminal device 10 may make the measurement result unavailable to users other than the user who uses the sleep measurement device 11B in the game processing. For example, when a plurality of users such as a family member live together and use the sleep measurement device 11B, the measurement result of the first user may be such that a second user different from the first user cannot use the sleep measurement device 11B in the game processing. .. Further, even when a plurality of related users such as family members share the sleep measurement device 11B, the measurement result of the sleep measurement device 11B of one user may not be available in the game processing of another user.

Regardless of whether or not the game program is executed on the terminal device 10, a plurality of users share the sleep measurement device 11B, so that the measurement result of the sleep measurement device 11B is associated with the information that identifies each user. It will be accumulated. The terminal device 10 may receive the measurement result when different users use the sleep measurement device 11B for a plurality of dates from the sleep measurement device 11B by executing a game program or the like. The terminal device 10 associates the measurement result of each date of the sleep measuring device 11B with the information of the user who has slept and transmits the information to the server 20. The server 20 holds the sleep measurement result of each user in the sleep record information 283 based on the information received from the terminal device 10.

According to such a configuration, when the sleep measurement device 11B is shared by a plurality of users, the sleep measurement result of each user is recorded by the sleep measurement device 11B, and some of the plurality of users are terminals. It is possible that the device 10 does not execute the game program. However, among the plurality of users, another user executes the game program on the terminal device 10 and transmits the sleep measurement results of the plurality of users to the server 20, so that the server 20 measures the sleep of the plurality of users. Game processing may be performed depending on the result. That is, some users may acquire game parameters of the game based on the game program even though they are not executing the game program. For example, when the sleep measurement device 11B is rented and used between family members, the second user does not reflect the sleep information of the previous day measured by the sleep measurement device 11B in the game processing. By acquiring sleep information using the sleep measurement device 11B and executing the game program when waking up the next day, the sleep information of the first user is transmitted to the server 20 and reflected in the game processing.

Here, the sleep measuring device 11B is not limited to the wearable type device as described above. When the sleep measurement device 11B can measure the sleep status of a plurality of users, the sleep measurement result of each user can be stored in the sleep measurement device 11B in association with the information identifying each user. .. For example, by installing a device having a photographing function (for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone) on the bed and analyzing the sensing result (photographed image), it is possible to sense the behavior of a plurality of users. Even in such a case, one user among the plurality of users transmits the sleep measurement results of the plurality of users to the server 20, so that the sleep measurement results of the plurality of users are reflected in the game processing. Can be done.

(3) Among the information that can be acquired by each sleep measurement device, an example of acquiring the same type of parameters and executing the application:

As described in the above embodiments, each sleep measuring device may have different specifications. In addition, the items that can be measured by each sleep measurement device and the measurement accuracy may differ. The game program or the like may use the same type of parameters among the parameters acquired by the sleep measurement devices while supporting a plurality of sleep measurement devices. For example, even when the parameters that can be measured by each sleep measuring device are various, the game processing is performed based on the information such as "sleep time" and "sleep quality" measured by the sleep measuring device as parameters of the same type. May be done.

Here, when the user uses a plurality of sleep measurement devices, the sleep information measured by any of the sleep measurement devices is executed while executing the game program using the parameters of the same type acquired by each sleep measurement device. Whether or not to perform the game processing based on the above may be determined based on a predetermined rule regardless of the user's operation (for example, determination by lottery processing). For example, when the user wakes up, the terminal device 10 or the server 20 performs a game process based on the measurement result of any of the sleep measuring devices, so that the game can be advanced while giving the user unexpectedness.

(4) Example of performing processing according to the combination of each sleep measurement device:
As described in each of the above embodiments, various types of sleep measurement devices are provided, such as wearable devices and tablet-like devices. When the user uses a plurality of sleep measurement devices, the game program or the like may perform game processing according to the combination of the sleep measurement devices. For example, when a user uses a watch-type sleep measurement device and a ring-type sleep measurement device in combination to measure sleep, a game item is given to the game character according to the combination. Etc. may be performed. In order to determine the combination of devices, group information such as "wristwatch type" and "ring type" is set in association with each device as device identification information, and in the case of the same group information combination or different group information combination, respectively. You may exert a special effect according to the combination of. Further, as a group of devices, the group may be divided according to whether it is a wearable device worn by the user or a device used without being worn by the user.

Here, when the user uses a plurality of sleep measurement devices, as an example of performing processing according to the combination, when there is an in-game effect obtained by using each sleep measurement device, each of them. The effects of the sleep measurement devices may be accumulated, or a part of the effects of these sleep measurement devices may be reflected in the game play. For example, if there is an in-game first effect obtained by the first sleep measuring device and there is an in-game second effect obtained by the second sleep measuring device, these first and second effects. The effects of the above may be reflected in the game play of the user, or either the first effect or the second effect may be reflected. Further, as a benefit of using the plurality of sleep measurement devices, at least one of the first effect and the second effect may be changed to be advantageous to the user.

In addition, there may be an in-game effect given to the user by using a plurality of sleep measurement devices. For example, when a user acquires sleep information by using both a wearable sleep measuring device and a sleep measuring device that the user does not wear, a privilege may be given to the user.

(5) Example of performing processing according to switching the sleep measurement device used by the user:
As described in each of the above embodiments, the game program or the like performs processing so as to exert a predetermined effect according to the information specifying the sleep measurement device.

Here, when the sleep measurement device used by the user is changed, a privilege in a game program or the like may be given to the user for newly using the sleep measurement device. Such a privilege may be given to the user in addition to the above-mentioned predetermined effect exerted according to the information identifying the sleep measurement device. Also, such benefits may be determined depending on the information that identifies the sleep measurement device. In addition, such a privilege may be provided a certain number of times or a certain period of time after the user uses the sleep measurement device. This can encourage the user to use the sleep measuring device, for example, when a new sleep measuring device is provided.

Further, when the sleep measurement device is used by a plurality of users, the above-mentioned privilege may be determined by the total amount regardless of the number of users who use the sleep measurement device. For example, when the privilege is provided for 10 days as a predetermined number of days and a predetermined amount of game items are given every day, the user "A" and the user "B" alternately use the sleep measurement device. Then, the privilege for 5 days is given to the user "A", and the privilege for 5 days is given to the user "B". That is, the total amount of benefits is 10 days worth of game items and the like.

In addition, the total amount of the above benefits may be determined for each user. For example, when the privilege is provided for 10 days as a predetermined number of days, each user may be granted the privilege for a maximum of 10 days.

Since the benefits are given to each user as described above, it is possible to encourage the user to borrow a sleep measurement device from another user and try it out.

It should be noted that the sleep measurement device may not be available to a plurality of users. That is, the sleep measurement device may not be lent or borrowed between users. For example, when the sleep measurement device is associated with the information of one user, even if another user uses the sleep measurement device, the sleep information cannot be acquired, or even if the sleep information is acquired, it is reflected in the game. It may not be possible, or even if the sleep information is acquired, the effect according to the sleep measurement device may not be exhibited in the game.

The server 20 has described an example in which the sleep record information 283 holds information for specifying a sleep measurement device and information on the timing at which the sleep information is acquired by the sleep measurement device in association with the user information. When the terminal device 10 that executes the game program communicates with the sleep measurement device and receives the sleep information on the terminal device 10, the terminal device 10 of the user who executes the game program refers to the sleep information that is not associated with the information of any user. It may be used for gameplay. For example, when a first user and a second user use a sleep measurement device while renting it out, the sleep information measured by the sleep measurement device at a certain timing may not be associated with any user. obtain. In this case, one of the users executes a game program on the terminal device 10 and uses the sleep information of the sleep measurement device, so that the sleep information is associated with the user information and held in the server 20 and the terminal device 10. ..

Here, in the sleep measuring device, the measured sleep information and the user's information may be stored in association with each other. For example, the sleep measurement device may communicate with the terminal device 10 that executes the game program to associate the sleep information with the user information in the game and store the sleep information and the user information in association with each other. That is, the sleep information held in the sleep measurement device is held in association with the user information in the server 20, the terminal device 10, and the sleep measurement device by communicating with the terminal device 10.

The terminal device 10 may communicate with the sleep measuring device and perform a specific process when there is sleep information that is not associated with any user's information. For example, when the sleep information measured by the sleep measuring device is not associated with any user, the terminal device 10 may accept from the user of the terminal device 10 which user to associate with. Further, the terminal device 10 can perform multiplayer in which, when the sleep measurement device has sleep information measured by another user, a message can be sent to the other user according to the sleep information of the other user. You may perform processing such as being able to perform.

(6) Example of processing specific game content according to the measurement result of the sleep measurement device:
As described above, it has been described that a plurality of sleep measurement devices can be used, and that the effect corresponding to the information for identifying the sleep measurement device is exhibited in a game program or the like.

In addition to this, the game content may be processed according to the information that identifies the sleep measurement device. For example, when a specific game character is trained in a game program, it is assumed that the parameters of the game character are held in the server 20 or the like. At this time, since the user has acquired sleep information using a specific sleep measurement device, it is possible to set an effect such as giving a parameter for promoting training to the game character.

(7) Benefits for Continuing to Use the Same Sleep Measurement Device When the user continues to use the same sleep measurement device, the privilege may be given accordingly. For example, when the number of days for which sleep information is acquired by the same sleep measurement device reaches a predetermined period, a privilege may be given to the user. For example, the terminal device 10 allows the user to continuously use the same sleep measurement device by referring to the information unique to the sleep measurement device (identification information of the sleep measurement device as shown in FIGS. 4 and 16). It can be determined whether or not it is done. This can encourage the user to use one sleep measuring device for a long time.

Further, the terminal device 10 refers to the information of the manufacturer and the seller of the sleep measurement device used by the user, and when the manufacturer and the seller are the same, the user continues the same sleep measurement device. It may be determined that it is being used. As a result, when the same manufacturer / seller newly sells the sleep measurement device, even if the user purchases and uses the sleep measurement device provided by the same manufacturer / seller, the above-mentioned It is possible to receive "privileges for continuous use of the same sleep measurement device" and stimulate replacement demand for the latest devices.

(8) Although it has been described that the user uses a plurality of sleep measurement devices, there are various modes of use thereof. A wearable device-type sleep measurement device and a stationary sleep measurement device may be used in combination. Further, for example, the user may wear a plurality of wearable device type sleep measurement devices. It is also possible that a plurality of sleep measurement devices are attached to a specific part of the user (for example, the user wears a plurality of wristwatch-type sleep measurement devices).

It is also possible to acquire different types of sleep information from a plurality of sleep measurement devices. For example, "sleep quality" may be measured by a first sleep measuring device, and "sleep time" may be measured by a second sleep measuring device. The terminal device 10 and the like may present to the user items that are desirable to be measured by each sleep measuring device. Thereby, for example, a sleep measuring device suitable for measuring "sleep quality" can be set to measure the item.

Further, the user may specify which of the plurality of sleep measurement devices is used for measurement. For example, the user may accept the designation from the user before going to bed. Further, when the user wakes up, the user may specify the sleep measurement device.

Further, although the example in which the privilege is given over a certain period of time when the sleep measurement device is started to be used has been described, the privilege may be given according to the number of times the sleep measurement device is used within the certain period. For example, when the sleep measurement device is used a predetermined number of times in a month, a privilege may be given to the user.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example of recommending a sleep measurement device to a user has been described. When the user uses multiple sleep measurement devices, the sleep measurement device that has a good sleep condition of the user, such as "sleep quality" and "sleep time", is identified based on the measurement result of each sleep measurement device. , May notify the user to use this sleep measurement device. In addition, the user may be notified that the privilege is given by the user using the sleep measurement device in which the user's sleep state is good in this way.

In addition, a sleep measurement device suitable for the user may be recommended based on information on the user's sleep environment such as information on the user's cohabitant (family, etc.) and pets. Information about the user's sleep environment includes, for example, the number of users in the environment in which the sleep measurement device is used, information that identifies each user, the range in which the user sleeps (bed size, etc.), and the nature of the bed (mattress). There are objects (pets, etc.) that can enter the range where the user sleeps. For example, it is assumed that the user sleeps in the same bed as the cohabitant. When the user is using the sleep measurement device, it is possible to determine whether or not the user is a cohabiting user based on the position where each user sleeps.

Therefore, for example, the server 20 or the terminal device 10 determines from which sleep measurement device the sleep information is acquired or which sleep measurement device the sleep information is prioritized based on the information regarding the sleep environment of the user. You may do it. For example, if it is determined that the user is sleeping in the same bed as the cohabitant, sleep information is transmitted from the wristwatch-type sleep measurement device even if the user is also using the sleep measurement device installed in the bed. May be determined to be acquired. In addition, when it is determined that the user is sleeping in the same bed as the cohabitant, the user is recommended to use the wristwatch-type sleep measurement device when the user is using only the sleep measurement device installed in the bed. Therefore, more accurate sleep information can be measured.

Further, even if a plurality of users are sleeping within a certain range, separate beds may be arranged and each user may be sleeping in each bed. In such cases, the user may be advised to use a sleep measurement device installed in the bed.

The above configuration will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 20 shows a screen example of a phase in which a sleep measuring device to be used for a game is determined when a user measures sleep information using a plurality of sleep measuring devices.

The screen example (A) of FIG. 20 shows a situation in which the user specifies a sleep measurement device to be used for measuring sleep information before the user enters the floor. As shown in the screen example (A), the terminal device 10 displays the notification 132X1, the selection reception unit 132X2, and the sleep start reception unit 132X5 on the display 132.

The notification 132X1 is an area for notifying that the user can specify the information of the user who is logged in to the game and the sleep measurement device used for measuring the sleep information before the user sleeps.

The selection reception unit 132X2 is an area for receiving the designation of the sleep measurement device used for measuring the sleep information to the user. As shown in the figure, the terminal device 10 receives the designation of one or a plurality of sleep measurement devices in the selection reception unit 132X2. In the illustrated example, a user can use the first sleep measuring device 132X3 and the second sleep measuring device 132X4. You may also highlight the sleep measurement device specified by the user. In the illustrated example, the user specifies both the first sleep measuring device 132X3 and the second sleep measuring device 132X4.

The sleep start reception unit 132X5 is an area for receiving an operation indicating that the user starts sleep from the user. When the terminal device 10 receives the input operation of the user to the sleep start reception unit 132X5, the terminal device 10 does not operate the terminal device 10 until the user sleeps and wakes up so that the user can concentrate on taking a sleep. At least some of the user's input operations may be disabled. For example, the user's operation may not be accepted for operations other than the emergency contact.

The screen example (B) shows a situation in which when the user goes to bed and sleep information is measured by a plurality of sleep measuring devices, the user specifies which sleep measuring device's measurement result is to be used in the game. As shown in the screen example (B), the terminal device 10 displays the notification 132X6, the measurement result designation unit 132X7, and the operation reception unit 132X10.

The notification 132X6 is an area for notifying that the user can specify the sleep information to be used for the game when the sleep information is measured by a plurality of sleep measuring devices.

The measurement result designation unit 132X7 is an area for accepting the user's operation as to which sleep measurement device's measurement result is used in the game when the user measures sleep information with a plurality of sleep measurement devices. In the illustrated example, as a plurality of sleep measurement devices, the information of the first sleep measurement device 132X8, the information of the second sleep measurement device 132X9, and whether or not the sensing result by these sleep measurement devices is good or not. Display quality information and. Further, the terminal device 10 also displays the effect exerted in the game when the measurement result of each sleep measuring device is used in the game by the measurement result designation reception unit 132X7. In the illustrated example, the first sleep measuring device 132X8 has been designated and highlighted by the user.

The operation reception unit 132X10 is an area for receiving an input operation for using the measurement result of the sleep measurement device selected by the user in the game. In response to an input operation to the operation reception unit 132X10, the terminal device 10 associates the sleep information measured by the sleep measurement device with the user's information and stores the sleep information in the terminal device 10, the server 20, and the sleep measurement device. May be good.

As shown in the screen example (B), when the sleep information is measured using a plurality of sleep measurement devices, the user can specify which sleep information measurement result is to be used in the game. Alternatively, the terminal device 10 may determine which sleep measurement device's measurement result is to be used in the game, regardless of the user's designation.

The screen example (C) shows a situation in which the measurement results of sleep information are accumulated over a plurality of dates, and the user specifies which sleep measurement device to use the measurement results in the game.

As shown in the screen example (C), the terminal device 10 displays the notification 132X11, the date designation unit 132X12, and the recommendation presentation unit 132X15 on the display 132.

The notification 132X1 is an area for notifying the user that the sleep information used in the game can be specified for each date when the measurement results of the sleep information are accumulated over a plurality of dates.

The date designation unit 132X12 is an area for receiving a date designation from the user. In the illustrated example, the first date 132X13 and the second date 132X14 are displayed. As shown on the first date 132X13, the terminal device 10 displays the information of the sleep measuring device designated to be used for the game by the user on the date on the display 132 together with the date information. Further, as shown on the second date 132X14, the terminal device 10 displays that the date is not specified when the user does not specify the measurement result of the sleep measuring device. In the illustrated example, the second date 132X14 is highlighted by the user specifying the second date 132X14.

The recommendation presentation unit 132X15 is an area for receiving an input operation for displaying the recommendation of the sleep information (sleep measurement device) used for the game on each date to the user.

The screen example (D) shows a situation in which the user accepts the designation of the sleep measurement device used for the game for a specific date. For example, the terminal device 10 displays the screen shown in the screen example (D) in response to the designation of the second date 132X14 in the screen example (C).

As shown in the screen example (D), the terminal device 10 displays the notification 132X11, the sleep measurement device designation unit 132X16, and the recommendation presentation unit 132X15 on the display 132.

The sleep measurement device designation unit 132X16 receives from the user the designation of the sleep measurement device to be used for the game for a specific date. In the screen example (D), the terminal device 10 displays the sleep information of the first sleep measurement device 132X17 and the second sleep measurement device 132X18.

As described above, when the user measures sleep information using a plurality of sleep measurement devices and the measurement result is recorded over a plurality of dates, each sleep unit (1 day) is recorded. , The user can select which sleep measurement device the measurement result is applied to. The terminal device 10 or the server 20 stores which sleep measurement device measurement result is associated with each date, and the user tells the sleep measurement device about the user to whom the measurement result of the sleep measurement device is not associated. Accepts the correspondence of.

Further, the privilege to be given to the user and the setting to the user are set in the case of measuring the sleep information of the user using the terminal device 10 as a smartphone and the case of measuring the sleep information using another sleep measuring device. The predetermined effects may be different. For example, by using a sleep measuring device other than a smartphone, the above-mentioned benefits and predetermined effects may be enhanced for the user. As a result, by using a smartphone, it is possible to advance a game using sleep information, but when there is a sleep measurement device that is more suitable for the user to acquire sleep information than a smartphone, the sleep measurement device is concerned. Can encourage users to use.

In addition, when the smartphone is suitable for acquiring sleep information (for example, the user's sleeping breath can be measured by a microphone, the accuracy of measuring sleep information by various sensors is relatively high, etc.), the smartphone is used. It may be encouraged to measure sleep information.

(9) It is assumed that the game program is a game in which game objects such as game characters are nurtured according to the sleeping state of the user. Before the user goes to bed, the user may be able to select the game object to be trained by the user. Further, in a game based on a game program, it is assumed that a game object different from the training target selected by the user appears according to the user's sleep performance (sleep time, etc.). In this case, when the user's sleep performance reaches a certain value, the user may be notified to notify that another game object will appear. Such notification may be performed while the user is executing the game program, or when the user is not executing the game program, the terminal device 10 or the like is illuminated, voice is output, push notification is performed, or the like. It may be notified.

Further, when the terminal device 10 is operated after the user has entered the floor, the game object may be adversely affected (for example, the game parameters may be adjusted so that the training ends unsuccessfully). This can help improve the quality of sleep for the user.

<Summary>
According to the above embodiment, processing is performed on the premise that an application such as a game program can use a plurality of sleep measurement devices.

(1) Thereby, the provider of the game program or the like can encourage the user to use a specific sleep measurement device. For example, users may be encouraged to use the newly released sleep measurement device to improve the enjoyment of the game.

(2) The environment suitable for sleeping differs from person to person. Depending on the user, it may be difficult to sleep even if a specific sleep measurement device is used. According to the above embodiment, it is possible to encourage the user to use a sleep measurement device suitable for sleep. That is, by providing users with different values depending on the sleep measurement device, it is possible to encourage the user to try another sleep measurement device even if the user is not familiar with or does not fit the usage pattern of the sleep measurement device. .. As a result, it is possible to prevent withdrawal from the game using sleep information and provide an environment in which the game can be continuously played easily.
