Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game program implementing a game excellent in operability.SOLUTION: A game program causes a portable terminal with a display part for displaying game images for an operator to operate: inclination detection means for detecting an inclination of the portable terminal; storage means for storing initial image data and game image data; and processing means which: displays the initial image data on the display part; then when an inclination is equal to or greater than a display angle, displays the game image data after satisfying a first condition where the game image data is displayed on the display part; and then satisfies a second condition where the initial image data is not displayed by the inclination condition of the portable terminal alone.

Description

  The present invention relates to a game program, an information storage medium, and a mobile terminal used for a game.

  In recent mobile terminals, a system has been developed that uses the tilt of the terminal. Examples include a system that changes the type of wallpaper on the screen and a power saving system (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In these systems, the tilt angle and the image data displayed on the screen are uniquely determined. That is, Patent Document 1 describes a data table in which wallpaper is associated with each tilt angle of a terminal. Therefore, the wallpaper data to be displayed is determined as one for a certain inclination.

  Patent Document 2 describes that it is a rule of the system that the terminal is turned on when the display portion of the terminal is on the front side and turned off when the display side is on the back side.

  However, a conventional system that displays an image according to an inclination angle is based on a rule that sets the inclination angle and displayed image data as a set. For this reason, it can be said that it is difficult to confirm the displayed image data. This is because if an inclination angle is changed after an image used for a game is displayed, another image not intended by the user may be displayed. Thereby, a game using this image display system may not be established.

  As a result of examination by the inventors, it has been found that the above-described problem can be solved by controlling the conditions for displaying a game image and the conditions for changing the image with different parameters.

According to the present invention,
In a portable terminal equipped with a display unit that displays a game image to an operator,
Inclination detecting means for detecting the inclination of the portable terminal;
Storage means for storing initial image data and game image data;
After the initial image data is displayed on the display unit, the game image data is displayed on the display unit when the tilt is equal to or greater than a display angle.
Processing means for satisfying a second condition, in which, after displaying the game image data, the initial image data is not displayed on the display unit only by the tilt condition of the terminal;
Is provided.

Moreover, according to the present invention,
An information storage medium having a display unit for displaying a game image for an operator and storing data for a program used in a portable terminal,
An information storage medium in which the above program is stored is provided.

Moreover, according to the present invention,
A display unit for displaying game images to the operator;
Inclination detecting means for detecting the inclination of the portable terminal;
Storage means for storing initial image data and game image data;
After the initial image data is displayed on the display unit, the game image data is displayed on the display unit when the tilt is equal to or greater than a display angle.
Processing means for satisfying a second condition, in which, after displaying the game image data, the initial image data is not displayed on the display unit only by the tilt condition of the terminal;
A portable terminal used for a game is provided.

  In the present invention, after the game image data is displayed, the initial image data is not displayed on the display unit only by the tilt condition of the portable terminal. That is, the same tilt parameter is not used for the display condition of the game image data and the display condition of the initial image data. For this reason, even if a terminal angle is changed, it is avoided that a user cannot confirm the displayed game image. Therefore, the operability that allows the game to be easily established can be realized.

  Further, as a result of studies by the present inventors, it has been found that the game performance is improved by turning over the portable terminal as a reset condition for displaying the next game image.

In addition, according to the present invention,
A mobile device with a display on the surface that displays game images to the operator,
Inclination detecting means for detecting the inclination of the portable terminal;
Storage means for storing game image data including third image data and fourth image data;
When the surface of the mobile terminal faces the front side, the third image data is displayed on the display unit, after satisfying a third condition,
A processing unit that satisfies a fourth condition, wherein the fourth image data is displayed on the display unit when the front surface of the mobile terminal is directed to the front side after facing the back side;
Is provided.

Moreover, according to the present invention,
A game image is displayed to the operator, and a display unit arranged on the surface;
Inclination detecting means for detecting the inclination of the portable terminal;
Storage means for storing game image data including third image data and fourth image data;
When the surface of the mobile terminal faces the front side, the third image data is displayed on the display unit, after satisfying a third condition,
A processing unit that satisfies a fourth condition, wherein the fourth image data is displayed on the display unit when the front surface of the mobile terminal is directed to the front side after facing the back side;
A portable terminal used for a game is provided.

  In the present invention, turning over the portable terminal is a reset condition for displaying the next game image. For this reason, by repeating the reversing operation of the front and back of the terminal, it becomes a continuous game, and the operability can be realized with improved game performance.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the portable terminal utilized for the game program, information storage medium, and game which implement | achieve the game excellent in operativity is provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 10 has a configuration in which a Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication unit 162, a timer 164, an acceleration sensor 170, a light emission generation unit 178, a speaker 180, a speaker 182 or a camera 186 are appropriately combined. You may have.

  The CPU 150 controls each unit. The path 184 connects each part. The communication unit 158 performs communication for using the mobile terminal 10 as a telephone or an Internet terminal. The communication unit 158 performs wireless communication with the base station.

  The storage unit 152 is a built-in memory such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive), an external memory such as an SD card, or the like. A ROM (Read Only Memory) 154 is a memory that can only be read. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 156 is a readable / writable memory.

  The vibration generator 176 makes the user perceive vibration. The vibration generator 176 vibrates according to a command from the CPU 150.

  The direction sensor 166 (geomagnetic sensor) is a sensor for detecting the orientation of the mobile terminal 10. The local position sensor 166 serves as a azimuth magnetic needle. The light emitting unit 116 preferably has a configuration in which two or three axes are incorporated. The orientation of the mobile terminal 10 can be detected regardless of the orientation of the mobile terminal 10.

  As the gyro sensor 168 and the acceleration sensor 170, for example, a three-axis sensor can be used. By using these alone or in combination, the acceleration, angular velocity, and rotational speed of the six axes in the front, rear, left, and right directions can be acquired. That is, the inclination of the mobile terminal 10 can be detected. For example, the rotation angles of the XYZ axes shown in FIG. 5 can be detected. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the direction of the mobile terminal 10.

  The GPS receiving unit 160 receives information necessary for detecting the position of the mobile terminal 10 by GPS, and detects the position of the mobile terminal 10.

The speaker 180 generates an alarm sound such as a peep sound or music, or a sound such as guidance.

  The Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication unit 162 communicates with a Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication device other than the mobile terminal 10. For example, portable terminals may communicate with each other via this. This is an effective communication means when communication via the base station is not possible.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the mobile terminal 10 in the first embodiment. FIG. 3 shows an example of the structure of the mobile terminal 10 in the first embodiment. FIG. 4 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the system 20.

  The portable terminal 10 is used as a game terminal for causing an operator (user) to play a game. The mobile terminal 10 includes a display unit (display unit 120), a tilt detection unit (tilt detection unit 106), a storage unit (storage unit 102), and a processing unit (processing unit 100).

  The display unit 120 displays a game image to the operator. The inclination detection unit 106 detects the inclination of the mobile terminal. The storage unit 102 stores initial image data and game image data. The processing unit 100 satisfies the second condition after satisfying the first condition. The first condition is that after the initial image data is displayed on the display unit 120, the game image data is displayed when the tilt of the terminal is equal to or greater than the display angle. The second condition is that after the game image data is displayed, only the tilt condition of the terminal is displayed, and the initial image data is not displayed on the display unit.

  Although the portable terminal 10 may be either a smartphone type or a tablet type, in the present embodiment, it will be described as a smartphone type. The mobile terminal 10 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and includes a front surface 11, a back surface 13, a central front end portion 12, a central rear end portion 14, a central left end portion 16, and a central right end portion 18. The mobile terminal 10 includes a touch sensor 172, a display 174, a speaker 180, a camera 186, and a button 19 on the surface 11. Although not shown, the mobile terminal 10 includes a vibration generator 176 therein. Further, the light emission generation unit 178 may be provided on the surface 11 of the mobile terminal 10 or the display 174.

  The terminal direction 202 indicates a direction from the lower end to the upper end in the top view of the mobile terminal 10. The terminal direction 202 corresponds to the + Y axis direction shown in FIG. The terminal direction 204 indicates the direction from the right end to the left end in the top view of the mobile terminal 10. The terminal direction 204 corresponds to the −X axis direction shown in FIG.

  The display unit 120 displays image data in information related to a game (hereinafter referred to as game-related information). The display unit 120 includes a display 174. The display unit 120 is preferably configured with a touch panel in which a touch sensor 172 and a display 174 are combined.

  The inclination detection unit 106 detects the inclination of the mobile terminal 10 with the X axis, the Y axis, or the Z axis as a base axis shown in FIG. The inclination detection unit 106 is configured by, for example, a single gyro sensor 168 and an acceleration sensor 170 or a combination thereof.

  The storage unit 102 stores game related information and display conditions. The storage unit 102 may store a data table in which game related information and display conditions are associated with each other. The processing unit 100 functions as an image processing unit, reads game-related information from the storage unit 102 according to a predetermined display condition, and outputs the game related information to the display unit 120.

  The game related information may be stored in the storage unit 102 in advance, but may be stored in the database 308 illustrated in FIG. 4, for example.

  The system 20 of FIG. 4 will be described in detail. The system 20 includes a mobile terminal 10, a network 40, and a server 30. The mobile terminal 10 is connected to the server 30 via a network 40 such as a wireless line or a wired line. The server 30 includes a communication unit 300, a processing unit 302, a temporary storage unit 304, a search unit 306, and a database 308. The communication unit 300 is connected to the communication unit 124 of the mobile terminal 10 via the network 40. The processing unit 302 performs various processes. The temporary storage unit 304 temporarily stores processing results and the like. The search unit 306 receives the search command and the search condition transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 and extracts target game related information from the database 308.

  The flow of information processing in the system 20 is as follows. The tilt detection unit 106 of the mobile terminal 10 detects the tilt of the terminal. The processing unit 100 reads display conditions from the storage unit 102 and transmits the display conditions from the communication unit 124 to the communication unit 300. The communication unit 300 receives display conditions from the communication unit 124. The processing unit 302 transmits the display condition to the search unit 306. The search unit 306 connects to the database 308 and extracts game related information that matches the display conditions. The processing unit 302 receives the extracted game related information and transmits it to the communication unit 124 of the mobile terminal 10 via the communication unit 300. The processing unit 100 stores the received game related information in the storage unit 102. In this way, the storage unit 102 of the mobile terminal 10 can store the target game-related information using the system 20.

  Here, the game related information and the game related data table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 shows an example of a data table in the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the game related information is mainly composed of image data and audio data. The image data may be either a still image or a moving image (animation). The game related information includes, for example, initial image data, game image data, audio data, game related information, advertisements, and the like. This embodiment does not need to include all these elements, and can be combined as appropriate as long as game image data is essential.

  In the first embodiment, a card game will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 shows an example of a display image of the mobile terminal. FIG. 8A shows an initial image 404. The initial image 404 is a playing card back 400. On the other hand, FIG. 8B shows a game image 402. The game image 402 is a playing card table 401.

  The game related information of the first embodiment is composed of initial image data and game image data. The initial image data is image data for preventing the game information from being displayed on the player and other players. For example, the back side of a playing card can be cited. On the other hand, the game image data is data including information for playing a game. An example is the surface of a playing card. In addition, this embodiment is not limited to a card game, but can be used for various games, for example, a trading card, a janken, fortune-telling, and a fortune. Details will be described later.

  The game image data table A502 is an example of the data table of the present embodiment, and a game image ID and game image data are associated with each other. A specific game image ID is selected from the display conditions. A game image corresponding to the selected ID is displayed on the display. In the present embodiment, the game image data indicates the pattern and strength of the playing card.

  The game image data may be composed of one data structure as shown in the game image data table A502, or may be created by processing a plurality of components as shown in the game image data table B506. . The game image data table B506 is composed of, for example, a data structure such as a game image ID, a picture, a strength, a character, a display position, and a property. The design is not limited to a general playing card design such as a diamond or a heart, but may be an animal, a character, a model, an advertising product, or the like. The strength may be appropriately determined with reference to a general game. The character is not limited to a general playing card character such as A or J, but may be a card game rule or a picture description. The display position indicates the display position of a picture or a character. The property indicates information related to the pattern or character. The property is a related keyword for indicating a relationship with audio data, game-related information, or an advertisement. One or more properties may be used.

  Similarly to the game image data table, the initial image data may be defined by the data table, but may be configured by one image data. That is, the initial image data may always be displayed on the display unit 120 as the same image.

  Display conditions will be described. The display conditions of the present embodiment indicate conditions for displaying initial image data and game images. The display condition means, for example, a function that determines image data to be displayed according to the tilt angle of the mobile terminal 10, the signal input to the terminal, and the processing timing of the terminal. Examples of the signal input to the terminal include a touch signal, a button input signal, an angular velocity signal, an audio signal, an azimuth / position acquisition signal, and a communication signal.

  In the first embodiment, the display conditions are as follows. (1) After the program is started, the initial image data is used. (2) When the inclination of the mobile terminal 10 is equal to or greater than the display angle, the game image data is used. (3) After displaying the game image, the initial image data is not used unless an alternative condition or an additional condition is satisfied with respect to the tilt condition of the terminal. (4) The same image is selected as the initial image data, and the game image data is randomly selected from the game image data table A502.

  Based on the display conditions, the processing unit 100 causes the display unit 120 to display initial image data and game image data (including other game-related information) stored in the storage unit 102.

  This will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a display mechanism of the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment.

  The ZY coordinates shown in FIG. 7 correspond to the ZY coordinates when the surface 11 of the mobile terminal 10 shown in FIG. The horizontal plane corresponds to a plane parallel to the ground, for example. In other words, the coordinate axis of the terminal when the terminal direction 202 is directed to the horizontal direction 210 is used. The −Z direction shown in FIG. 7 indicates a vertically upward direction with respect to the horizontal plane, and the + Z direction indicates a vertically downward direction with respect to the horizontal plane. On the other hand, the YX plane corresponds to a horizontal plane.

  FIG. 7 shows a case where the mobile terminal 10 is rotated with the X axis as a base axis. The display angle α1 indicates a display condition, and means, for example, an angle formed by a horizontal plane and one surface of the mobile terminal. The tilt angle β1 is smaller than the display angle α1. The inclination angle β2 is not less than the display angle α1. When the tilt direction 212 coincides with the horizontal direction 210, the tilt angle β1 is set to zero. When the tilt direction 214 coincides with the −Y-axis direction (the direction opposite to the horizontal direction 210), the tilt angle β2 is 180 degrees.

Before the game image 402 (the playing card table 401) is displayed, the processing unit 100 displays the initial image 404 (the playing card back 400) on the display unit 120 when the tilt angle β1 is smaller than the display angle α1.
Subsequently, the processing unit 100 displays the game image 402 on the display unit 120 when the tilt angle β2 is equal to or larger than the display angle α1.

  In the present embodiment, the display angle α1 can be set as appropriate according to the game rules. For example, the display angle α1 is preferably 45 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less, and more preferably 45 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less. When the card game is an Indian poker, the display angle α1 is particularly preferably not less than 70 degrees and not more than 90 degrees (allowing variations in detection sensors). When the game image 402 is displayed at a position close to the position of the mobile terminal 10 in a state where the game starts, the entertainment property is enhanced. Also, illegal operations can be prevented in the game.

  Thereafter, after displaying the game image 402, the processing unit 100 does not display the initial image 404 on the display unit 120 only by the tilt condition of the terminal. That is, even when the tilt direction 214 of the mobile terminal 10 moves in the tilt direction 212, the initial image 404 is not displayed on the display unit 120 even when the terminal angle is smaller than the display angle α1 unless a specific condition is added. .

  In the present embodiment, after the game image 402 is displayed, the initial image 404 is not displayed on the display unit only by the tilt condition of the mobile terminal. That is, the same tilt parameter is not used for the display condition of the game image data and the display condition of the initial image data. For this reason, even if a terminal angle is changed, it is avoided that a user cannot confirm the displayed game image. In other words, the game image 402 used for the game can be confirmed by other players. Therefore, operability that allows the game to be easily established can be realized.

  Next, the processing flow of the mobile terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 shows an example of a flowchart of the operation of the mobile terminal 10 in the first embodiment.

  First, after the game program is started, the mobile terminal 10 is arranged with the front surface 11 facing back. At this time, the inclination angle β1 is smaller than the display angle α1. An initial image 404 (the back of the playing card 400) is displayed on the display unit 120 (S100).

  Subsequently, the user rotates the mobile terminal 10 around the X axis. The tilt detection unit 106 detects the tilt angle of the mobile terminal 10 (S102). The processing unit 100 determines whether or not the acquired tilt angle is equal to or greater than the display angle α1.

  If the tilt angle β1 is smaller than the display angle α1 (S104, NO), the process returns to the step of acquiring the tilt angle of the mobile terminal 10 (S102). On the other hand, when the tilt angle β2 is equal to or larger than the display angle α1 (S104, YES), the game image 402 (the playing card table 401) is displayed on the display unit 120 (S106). A specific process will be described. The processing unit 100 receives the tilt angle β2 and determines that the tilt angle β2 is greater than or equal to the display angle α1 compared to the display angle α1 (display condition). Thereafter, the processing unit 100 extracts the playing card table 401 from the game image data table stored in the storage unit 102 according to the random display condition. The processing unit 100 causes the display unit 120 to display the extracted playing card table 401.

  Subsequently, the processing unit 100 does not display the playing card back 400 on the display unit 120 even when the inclination angle β1 becomes smaller than the display angle α1. In other words, at step 108, even when the processing unit 100 returns to the tilt angle at which the playing card back 400 was displayed at step 100, the processing unit 100 does not display the playing card back 400 again on the display unit 120. Note that the flow of information processing is not limited to FIG. 7, and may be changed as appropriate within the scope of achieving the object.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 shows an example of the processing flow of the mobile terminal 10.

  The game program according to the second embodiment causes an informing unit to function to notify an operator (user) when game image data is displayed. The mobile terminal 10 of this embodiment further includes a vibration unit 114 (vibration generator 176).

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the game image 402 is displayed, the processing unit 100 vibrates the vibration unit 114 (S110, YES, S112). In the present embodiment, “when displayed” means that it is displayed, or within a predetermined short time after being displayed. For example, a case where the display angle α1 is set to 90 degrees will be described. The user tilts the portable terminal 10 with the back surface 13 facing the user. The time determined before the inclination angle β2 increases and exceeds 90 degrees and becomes 95 degrees is referred to as a short time.

  Thereby, the user can easily know that the game image 402 is displayed. In particular, in Indian poker, the user starts the game with the surface 11 not visible. For this reason, it can be understood when the game image 402 is displayed on the display unit 120 of the front surface 11 while the back surface 13 of the mobile terminal 10 faces the user. Therefore, operability can be greatly improved.

  In the present embodiment, the notification means is the vibration means, but the present invention is not limited to this means, and various notification means may be employed. For example, audio means (audio unit 112) can be employed. The voice data to be notified is stored in the storage unit 102 in advance. In the case where the light emitting unit 116 is disposed on the back surface 13 of the mobile terminal 10, light emitting means can also be employed.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described.
In the third embodiment, a program for changing game images will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 11. FIG. 9 shows an example of a display image of the mobile terminal 10. FIG. 11 shows an example of the processing flow of the mobile terminal.

  The game program of the third embodiment causes a reset means to display initial screen data on the display unit instead of the game image data when a reset signal is received.

  The reset signal is not particularly limited, and various signals are used. For example, a button input signal, a screen touch signal, a voice signal, an acceleration signal, or the like of the mobile terminal 10 is included.

  The mobile terminal 10 includes a button 19. The button input signal is generated when the button 19 is pressed. The display unit 120 is configured with a touch panel. The touch signal is generated when it is detected that the touch panel is touched by the operator. The mobile terminal 10 includes an audio unit 112 (microphone 182). The audio signal is generated when the operator's specific audio signal is detected by the microphone 182. The audio signal is not particularly limited, and is, for example, “next” or “reset”. The mobile terminal 10 includes an acceleration sensor 170. The acceleration signal is generated when the mobile terminal 10 is shaken by the operator. For example, the mobile terminal 10 is swung in the Y-axis direction or the X-axis direction.

  In the present embodiment, the reset means is preferably a signal other than the tilt angle of the terminal. Thereby, the reset which an operator does not intend by inclination can be prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in step 100, an initial image 404 shown in FIG. 9A is displayed. Subsequently, at step 106, a game image 402 shown in FIG. 9B is displayed. Subsequently, when the processing unit 100 receives a reset signal (S114, YES), the processing unit 100 returns to the step 100. Then, the processing unit 100 displays the initial image 404 on the display unit 120 again. Thereafter, in step 106, a game image 414 different from the game image 402 shown in FIG. 9C may be displayed.

Next, Modification 1 of the third embodiment will be described.
In the first modification, an example in which audio data is output will be described.
In the present modification, the storage unit 102 stores an audio data table 504. In the sound data table 504, sound data is associated with game image data. Examples of the game image of the present embodiment include images used for trading cards, characters, models, products, and the like in addition to playing cards.

  The processing unit 100 outputs a game image to the display unit 120 and also outputs audio data corresponding to the game image data to the audio unit 112. The voice data includes, for example, a character dialogue, a description of the content of the game image data, a description related to the game rules, a promotional phrase, and the like. For example, the game image may be an animation. In this case, the audio data includes dialogues, scene sounds, and the like that match the animation.

  By outputting sound during the game, the entertainment of the game can be enhanced. Moreover, it can be set as the game which can be used also for those with poor eyesight.

  The conditions for reading the contents of the game image data may be set as follows. A condition 1 for reading the content of the game image correctly and a condition 2 for reading the game image incorrectly are set. These conditions 1 and 2 occur randomly, for example. This makes it possible to make the game more interesting. Here, the content of the game image includes card strength, card type, card effect, and the like. For example, it can be enjoyed as a game whether the advice of whether the card is strong or weak is correct.

  The audio data may be stored in advance in the storage unit 102, but may be stored in the server database 308. Further, the audio data may be stored afterwards in association with specific game image data. That is, the processing unit 100 can create an audio data table in which the audio data and the game image data are associated with each other in the storage unit 102. In this case, the microphone 182 can be used.

  As a result, it is possible to freely store comments and dialogues associated with characters and model images. For example, a photographic image taken by the camera 186 can be used. Audio data corresponding to the image data of this photograph can be created. Such image data is subjected to additional processing such as a strength display as shown in the game image data table B506, and is output as game image data.

Next, Modification 2 of the third embodiment will be described.
This modification 2 relates to a game program in which another game image data is displayed under specific conditions in a state where the game image data is displayed. Thereby, the entertainment property of a game can further be improved. In the present embodiment, various rules that improve game performance can be set as appropriate.

This will be specifically described below.
Examples of conditions for changing the display of the game image data include random or reception of communication signals (Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication or Wi-Fi communication) from other mobile terminals 10. Interesting rules can be created by communicating with other mobile devices. For example, information surrendered by another player may be communicated from the tilt angle of another terminal. With this information, the image data of the remaining terminals may be changed.

In addition, the processing unit 100 when randomly displaying will be described.
The storage unit 102 stores game image data including first image data and second image data. For example, refer to the game image data table A502 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that the first image data (game image 402) includes stronger information in terms of game rules than the second image data (game image 414). And the process part 100 (information processing means) displays the 2nd image data at random, after displaying 1st image data on 2nd conditions of 1st Embodiment. That is, the processing unit 100 can execute step 108 after step 106 and display game image data at random. Here, the number of times of change is not particularly limited, but it may be one when considering game characteristics. The random probability is not particularly limited and is appropriately set in consideration of game characteristics. Thereby, game development changes and entertainment property can be improved.

Next, Modification 3 of the third embodiment will be described.
The third modification relates to library display of game image data.
A group of stored game image data is displayed as a list on the display unit 120. It is possible to confirm what kind of game image is present before the game. The game image data of other terminals can be added to the game image data table. The image data in the game image data table can be moved to another terminal. The game image data is given a game image ID. The game image ID may be classified for each category. Thereby, game image data can be displayed on the display part 120 for every category.

Next, Modification 4 of the third embodiment will be described.
This modification 4 relates to the display method of the display unit 120 shown in FIG. In the fourth modification, the storage unit 102 stores a related information data table (game related data table 500) in which game image data is associated with related information data (advertisement data or game information related data) related to the game image. Remember. The processing unit 100 displays game image data, and causes the display unit 120 to output related information data associated with the game image data in the related information data table.

  In addition to the game image 414, an advertisement image 423 may be displayed on the display 174 of the fourth modification. These are displayed in any one of the upper display area 416, the right display area 418, the left display area 420, and the lower display area 422, for example. That is, information acquisition means related to the game image 414 may be installed around the game image 414.

  The advertisement image 423 indicates an advertisement for a product or service related to the game image 414. FIG. 17A shows an advertisement data table 508. The advertisement data table 508 has a data structure such as an advertisement ID, a picture, characters, terminal information, a display position, a property, and the number of touches. The picture indicates an image of the advertisement. The letter indicates a copy of the advertisement. Terminal information means the information which shows the user's action obtained with the sensor of the portable terminal 10 in a game program. The terminal information includes, for example, acceleration, angular velocity, current position, terminal orientation, current time, program continuation time, program activation count, and the like. The property indicates an attribute of the advertisement. The number of touches means the number of times the user touched the advertisement image.

  An example will be described. A person whose terminal information acceleration is fast can be profiled as strong or impatient. Advertisements can be displayed along this profile. And it can be evaluated whether this advertisement image is touched. In addition, an advertisement to which position information close to the current location is given can be selected, and an advertisement for a store in the direction of the mobile terminal can be displayed. Thus, the terminal information obtained during the game can be used for advertisement.

  In this modified example, the behavior of the user can be analyzed using the elements of the advertisement data table 508, and an advertisement having a high correlation with the game image can be created. In other words, it is possible to increase the motivation of the conductors that show advertisements to the user throughout the game.

  Property elements are incorporated in the game image data table B506 in FIG. From this property element, relevance is derived and information to be advertised is determined. In other words, it is assumed that there is an advertisement having a property having the same or similar correlation with the property of the game image data. Simultaneously with such game image data, an advertisement highly correlated with the game image data can be displayed on the display 174.

  The high degree of correlation can be determined not only from the property but also from the terminal information and the number of touches described above. In other words, a more effective high school can be created by analyzing the relationship between the number of touches and terminal information, patterns, and characters.

Next, Modification 5 of the third embodiment will be described.
In addition to the game image 414, an information button 424 may be displayed on the display 174 of the modified example 5. When the information button 424 is pressed, a step of changing the display on the display 174 to a website or information page for explaining the contents of the game image in detail is executed. The information button 424 and the game image 414 are displayed on the display 174 at the same time. Thereby, the recognizability of where information can be obtained can be improved. In other words, the user's accessibility can be improved. The information button 424 may be displayed around the game image 414, but may be displayed over the game image 414.

Next, Modification 6 of the third embodiment will be described.
This modified example 6 relates to a voting system that shows the good combination of the game image 414 and audio data. Specifically, for example, the goodness of combinations of character images and lines, and advertisements can be tabulated. These results can be used for character creation and advertisement using characters.

  FIG. 16A shows a game related data table 500. The combination of game image data and audio data is determined randomly. A random combination is output to the display unit 120. When the output information indicates the user's preference, the information button 424 is pressed by the user. Thereby, the ID of the combination of information when it is pressed is tabulated as a data table. Similarly, in the advertisement, combinations of characters and advertisement IDs are tabulated as a data table. Furthermore, the number of pressings of the information button 424 may be totaled for each combination.

  By using the game, it is possible to reduce the huge amount of advertising review costs and character creation costs. Moreover, it is possible to create an advertisement or character that incorporates the opinions of the potential plan user. These aggregation results may be displayed by a web browser.
