If they match (Yes in step S65), step S66 is performed. If they do not match (No in step S65), step S68 is performed.

In step S66, the determination module 2036 compares the design created by the user with a design in which the contents of the first to fourth sections all match, and detects the difference between the two designs. The difference can be detected by applying an existing image analysis technique such as feature point matching to image data of both designs. If the difference is smaller than the predetermined threshold (Yes in step S66), step S67 is performed. If the difference is greater than the predetermined threshold (No in step S66), step S68 is performed.

In step S67, the second determination module 2035 determines the design created by the user to be different from the second region of the design determined in step S66 to have a difference from the design created by the user that is less than a predetermined threshold. Determines the design of the second region to be added to the design obtained. Specifically, the second determination module 2035 determines the pattern, color, and coloring position of the second area according to the design of the first area created by the user.

In step S68, the second determination module 2035 determines the second area of the selected design to be the second area of the design created by the user.

In the example shown in FIG. 19, silhouette art 55 in which a plurality of characters are randomly arranged is described in the second area 52b. This makes it possible to easily recognize the uniqueness of the first area while enhancing the design of the second area.

<Modification 3>
Also, the first determination module 2034 may determine a description to be printed in the first area that allows the user to visually recognize that the design in the first area is the accepted design.

In the example shown in FIG. 20, the wording 56 "Designed by User A" is written in the first area 52a as a description that allows the user to visually recognize that the design in the first area is the accepted design. Here, "User A" describes the name or nickname of a specific user. This makes it clear that the first area 52a was created by the user, and it is possible to protect the rarity of a design with a high rarity value created as a privilege for a tournament or the like.

<Modification 4>
Further, the contents of the design determination process (S60) are not limited to the above embodiment.

FIG. 21 shows the flow of the design decision process (S60) as a modified example. In the example shown in FIG. 21, the determination module 2036 determines whether the change to the existing design is less than a predetermined degree of change based on information about the history of changes. Information about the change history (hereinafter referred to as change history) is stored in a predetermined database (hereinafter referred to as change history database) in the storage unit 202 of the server 20 at the step (S50) in which the terminal device 10 transmits the change content. remembered.

In step S61 of FIG. 21, the first determination module 2034 determines the first region. In step S<b>62 , the determination module 2036 determines whether or not the content used in the section to be changed is the same as before the change, regarding the change transmitted from the terminal device 10 . If the same content is used (Yes in step S162), step S163 is performed. If different content is used (No in step S162), step S68 is performed.

In step S163, the determination module 2036 refers to the change history database and determines whether the difference between the change content and the change history is smaller than a threshold. Specifically, the determination module 2036 determines in advance the difference between the change content and the change history for geometric changes such as content movement, rotation, enlargement, and reduction in the change target section of the first area. It is determined whether or not it is smaller than the threshold. If the difference is smaller than the threshold (Yes in step S163), step S67 is performed. If the difference is greater than the threshold (No in step S163), step S68 is performed. Even with such processing, it is possible to achieve the same effects as in the above-described embodiment.

In this way, in the step of accepting the design in the first area 52a (S50), a change to the existing design is accepted, and in the step of determining the contents of the second area (S60), the accepted change is a predetermined degree of change. If the received change is smaller than the predetermined degree of change, the content of the second area 52b of the card sleeve with the changed design of the first area 52a is replaced with the card of the existing design. Determined to be different from the contents of the second region of the sleeve. As a result, when a slight change is made to the first area 52a, the design of the second area is changed. can be prevented.
