(First embodiment)
The processing system according to the present embodiment is a system that performs communication between a terminal and a server. In the processing system, for example, software (application) installed in the terminal is activated, and a game is provided to the user. A user means a user registered in the processing system. The user may be the same as the user of the terminal, or may be a person different from the user of the terminal. A user is identified in the processing system by a user ID. Moreover, the content of the service of a processing system is not specifically limited. Below, the case where an application provides a game to a user is demonstrated as an example.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a processing system 1 according to the embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the processing system 1 includes, for example, a plurality of terminal devices 10 </ b> A and a proxy server 30. The plurality of terminal devices 10A include terminal devices 10A ₁ to 10A _n (n is a natural number greater than 1). The terminal devices 10A ₁ to 10A _n are devices having a bidirectional communication function, such as a mobile phone, a portable game machine with a communication function, or a personal computer. The terminal devices 10A ₁ to 10A _n are configured to be able to communicate with the proxy server 30 via the network N. The network N is, for example, the Internet or a dedicated line. Since the terminal devices 10A ₁ to 10A _n are configured in substantially the same manner, the terminal device 10A ₁ will be described below as a representative. Note that the processing system 1 in FIG. 1 is an example, and may be a processing system 1 including one terminal device 10 </ b> A ₁ and a proxy server 30.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the processing system 1. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the terminal device 10 </ b> A ₁ includes, for example, an input / output unit 17, a process execution unit 13, a game management unit 11, a memory management unit (hardware resource management unit) 15, and a terminal-side transmission / reception unit (reception unit). 18 is provided. Terminal 10A ₁ includes, for example, process ID table 12, the necessary memory table 14 and a data recording unit 16.

Hereinafter, as an example, a game in which a battle with a computer or another user is performed using a card on which a monster is drawn will be described. In this game, a user acquires a card by lottery or the like. A level is given to the monster of the acquired card, and the level of the monster increases according to the obtained “experience value”, and a parameter related to the strength of the monster increases according to the level. When the cards are “synthesized”, they become cards of different monsters, or “experience value” is given to the monster before synthesis. In this way, the user grows the monster according to the “experience value” and battles (battles) the computer or other users. There are also user levels, and the progress of the game, the number of cards that can be owned, and the like are changed according to the user level. Note that the user is a user of a game targeted by the processing system 1. Applications executing the game, for example, been downloaded to the terminal device 10A ₁ via the communication, it is installed.

  The input / output unit 17 includes an input operation receiving unit 26 and a display unit 25. The input operation reception unit 26 is a position input device that receives user operations. For example, the input operation reception unit 26 receives a user operation related to the progress of the game. The input operation reception unit 26 outputs information related to the user operation to the process execution unit 13. The display unit 25 displays the game content and the like based on the output result of the process execution unit 13. For example, a touch panel is used as the input operation receiving unit 26 and the display unit 25.

The game management unit 11 manages predetermined processing of the entire game. The predetermined processing is processing executed in the application on the terminal device 10A ₁ side related to the service provided by the processing system 1. For example, the game management unit 11 instructs the process execution unit 13 to cause the process execution unit 13 to execute a predetermined process. For example, the game management unit 11 determines a game process to be executed based on information about a user operation acquired through the process execution unit 13. The game process can be identified by the process ID. The game management unit 11 refers to the processing content stored in the processing ID table 12 based on the processing ID, for example. The process ID table 12 is a table in which, for example, the process content associated with the process ID is stored. FIG. 4 is an example of the process ID table 12. As illustrated in FIG. 4, in the process ID table 12, “process ID”, “use parameter”, and “result parameter” are associated with a “process ID” that identifies a process. “Processing content” is, for example, “card lottery”, “battle”, “synthesis”, “level-up processing”, or the like. “Usage parameter” is information necessary for the processing. “Result parameter” is information output and recorded after the processing.

  For example, a case where “Process ID” is “0055” will be described. In this case, “card lottery” is associated with “0055” as “processing content”. Then, “A: lottery type ID” and “B: number of times” are associated with “0055” as “usage parameters”, and “A: discharge card ID” is associated with “0055” as “result parameters”. Yes. There are several types of lottery cards. The “lottery type ID” is an identifier for identifying a lottery to be processed from a plurality of lottery types. “Number of times” is the number of lotteries. The “discharge card ID” is an identifier for identifying a card won by lottery.

  Similarly, a case where “Process ID” is “0056” will be described. “Battle” is associated with “0056” as “processing content”. Then, “A: match type ID” and “B: opponent user ID” are associated with “0056” as “use parameters”, and “A: match result” and “B: battle interest” as “result parameters”. “Point” is associated with “0056”. There are several types of battles. The “match type ID” is an identifier for identifying a match to be processed from a plurality of match types. The “opponent user ID” is an identifier for identifying the user of the opponent. The “match result” is the content of the win / loss, and the “stake point” is a point obtained by the result of the win / loss.

  Similarly, when “processing ID” is “0057”, “synthesis” is associated with “0057” as “processing content”. “A: base card serial” and “B: material card serial” are associated with “0057” as “use parameters”, and “A: base card serial” and “B: base” as “result parameters”. “Card parameter” is associated with “0057”. For example, when the cards are “synthesized”, the user selects a “base card” that is the basis of the combined monster and a “material card” for growing the monster of the “base card” . “Base card serial” is an identifier for uniquely selecting a card to be “synthesized” as a base card. “Material card serial” is an identifier for uniquely selecting a card to be “synthesized” as a material card. In addition, while there is one base card, there may be one or more material cards. The “base card parameter” is a parameter associated with the monster strength of the “base card”.

  Similarly, when the “processing ID” is “0058”, “level-up processing” is associated with “0058” as “processing content”. “A: User parameter level” is associated with “0058” as “Usage parameter”, and “A: User parameter level” is associated with “0058” as “Result parameter”. The “user parameter level” is a parameter indicating a user level.

  In this way, in the process ID table 12, for each process executed in the game, a “use parameter” necessary for the process and a “result parameter” output by the process are associated. The game management unit 11 refers to the process ID table 12 and determines the process content based on the process ID. The game management unit 11 outputs the determined process content and process ID to the process execution unit 13.

The process execution unit 13 includes a determination unit 19, a normal processing unit 20, a data management unit 21, and a proxy processing relay unit 22. The determination unit 19 determines whether or not the proxy server 30 is to execute at least a part of the predetermined process corresponding to the process ID output from the game management unit 11. Specifically, determining unit 19, based on the information of the terminal device 10A ₁ (information terminal), trouble determination result for executing predetermined processing in the normal processing section 20 satisfies a predetermined condition In the case where it is determined that the proxy server 30 performs the proxy, the proxy server 30 determines to perform at least a part of the predetermined process.

Information and the terminal device 10A _1, an information available at the terminal device 10A _1. Information of the terminal device 10A _1, the information of the predetermined processing execution schedule at the terminal device 10A _1, available resources of the terminal device 10A _1, or is information on the processing capability of the terminal device 10A _1. For example, the information terminal device 10A _1, information about the hardware resources needed by predetermined processing, information about the hardware resources available terminals 10A _1, information about the software resources required for a given process, available such information about the software resources of the terminal device 10A _1, the priority of the predetermined processing, the priority of other processes, or, which is information concerning the process to be performed by the user or the user instruction.

The hardware resources of the terminal device 10A _1, is a physical resource of the terminal device 10A _1. Specifically, hardware resources, available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1, available hard disk space, or, although the allocation time of the available CPU, not limited thereto. In addition, the software resources of the terminal device 10A _1, a functional and intangible resources of the terminal device 10A _1. Specifically, the software resource is a usable terminal device 10A ₁ such as software, but is not limited thereto. The software may include an operating system (OS) as well as an application or a program. The priority is a task to which a CPU is preferentially assigned. The process to be executed by the user or user instruction is a process instructed by the user or user to be executed preferentially.

Based on the above information terminal device 10A _1, determining unit 19 determines whether the trouble determination result for executing predetermined processing in the normal processing section 20 satisfies a predetermined condition. Here, the hindrance to the execution of the predetermined process by the normal processing unit 20 is a matter that hinders the execution of the predetermined process by the normal processing unit 20. Specifically, the terminal device 10A _1, the lack of available hardware resources, a lack of available software resources, or is an interrupt due priority treatment over a predetermined processing. The lack of hardware resources, specifically, the lack of available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1, the lack of hard disk space available, or, although the allocation time of the available CPU, these It is not limited. The lack of software resources, specifically, that the software in the terminal device 10A ₁ is not installed needed to perform a predetermined process, or other programs necessary to execute the predetermined processing However, it is not limited to these.

The obstacle judgment result, the result of trouble mentioned above is determined by the determination unit 19, which is a result of the determination by the determination unit 19 based on the above-mentioned information of the terminal device 10A _1. Trouble determination results, for example, a comparison of the resources or processing capability required for a given treatment, the available resources or processing capability of the terminal device 10A _1. Specifically, trouble determination results, the comparison result of the available hardware resources in the hardware resource and the terminal device 10A ₁ required for a given process, the software resources and the terminal device 10A ₁ required for a given processing comparison of the available software resources, or, is a comparison results of the time that can be allocated in the CPU in the processing time and the terminal device 10A ₁ required to perform a predetermined process, limited to these It is not a thing.

The case where it is determined that the failure determination result satisfies a predetermined condition is a case where it is determined that there is a problem with executing the predetermined processing in the normal processing unit 20. The predetermined condition is a condition stored in advance by the determination unit 19 and is a condition for determining that there is a problem. For example, the predetermined condition is that the hardware resource necessary for the predetermined process cannot be secured, the hardware resource necessary for the predetermined process can be secured, but other processes are affected, The software resources necessary for a predetermined process cannot be secured, or the CPU allocation time cannot be secured by executing a process with high priority. However, the present invention is not limited to these. Absent. Therefore, the case where it is determined that the obstacle determination result for executing the predetermined process in the normal processing unit 20 satisfies the predetermined condition, that is, the normal processing unit 20 can execute the predetermined process. This is a case where it is difficult, for example, when the normal processing unit 20 cannot execute all or part of the predetermined processing. Alternatively, for example, possible to execute all or a part of the predetermined processing in the normal processing section 20, the case is not preferable for the terminal device 10A _1. The case where it is not preferable for the terminal device 10A ₁ is, for example, when the load on the terminal device 10A ₁ increases when all or part of predetermined processing is executed by the normal processing unit 20, or the processing of the terminal device 10A ₁ This is when the time is long. Load of the terminal device 10A ₁ may be, for example, CPU utilization is when a predetermined threshold value or more, the load is large. Processing time of the terminal device 10A _1, for example, in the case of more than a predetermined threshold value, it is possible to process time is long. Alternatively, for example, there are processing high priority terminal 10A _1, when to execute all or part of the predetermined processing in the normal processing section 20, the processing of high priority terminal 10A ₁ is performed preferentially This is the case.

In the following, the information of the terminal device 10A _1, information about the memory capacity required to perform a predetermined processing, and, an example of using the memory capacity of the available terminals 10A _1.

Determining unit 19, information about the memory capacity of the terminal device 10A ₁ required to perform a predetermined process (hereinafter, "processing for each required memory capacity") in addition to, a memory capacity available on the terminal device 10A ₁ Information (hereinafter, “available memory capacity”) is acquired, and whether or not the proxy server 30 performs at least a part of the predetermined processing is determined according to a comparison result obtained by comparing the information. For example, the determination unit 19 refers to the necessary memory table 14 to acquire the necessary memory capacity for each process. FIG. 5 is an example of the necessary memory table 14. As shown in FIG. 5, in the necessary memory table 14, “necessary memory” is associated with “processing ID” that identifies the process. "Memory requirements" is the minimum necessary for the execution of the process identified by the process ID, a memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1. The determination unit 19 acquires “necessary memory” to acquire the minimum memory capacity necessary for executing the process identified by the process ID. Further, the determination unit 19 derives the necessary memory capacity for each process by multiplying the “necessary memory” by a predetermined coefficient determined according to the user operation.

  An example in which the determining unit 19 derives the required memory capacity for each process necessary for executing the synthesis process will be described. When combining processing is performed, as shown in FIG. 4, “base card serial” for specifying a base card and “material card serial” for specifying a material card are used parameters. As described above, in the composition processing, there is always one base card, whereas there are one material card and a plurality of material cards. In the composition process, when the number of material cards is one, the memory capacity required for executing the process is minimized. Therefore, the necessary memory table 14 stores the memory capacity necessary for executing the process when the number of material cards is one as the “necessary memory” having the “process ID” “0057” (combination process). In the composition process, the memory capacity required for the process increases according to the number of material cards (the more material cards). Therefore, the determination unit 19 obtains the number of material cards specified by the user operation (the user operation received by the input operation reception unit 26), and multiplies the “necessary memory” by a predetermined coefficient corresponding to the number. Together, the necessary memory capacity is derived for each process. Note that the determination unit 19 can obtain a predetermined coefficient corresponding to the number of sheets by referring to, for example, a table (not shown) that manages the coefficient for each number of sheets.

For example, the determination unit 19 acquires the available memory capacity output from the memory management unit 15. The memory management unit 15 manages the available memory capacity. Memory management unit 15 manages the allocation and release of memory capacity in the terminal device 10A _1, and manages the real time available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1. In response to a request from the determination unit 19, the memory management unit 15 outputs the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10 </ b> A ₁ to the determination unit 19.

The determination unit 19 compares the acquired (derived) necessary memory capacity for each process with the acquired available memory capacity, and determines whether the proxy server 30 performs at least a part of the predetermined process according to the comparison result. To decide. For example, when the required memory capacity for each process is larger than the available memory capacity, the determination unit 19 determines that it is difficult to execute the process by the normal processing unit 20, and the proxy server 30 performs the predetermined process. Is determined to act. In this case, the determination unit 19, the processing ID of the processing, and the determination result including the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1, and outputs to the proxy processing relay unit 22.

In addition, when the required memory capacity for each process is smaller than the available memory capacity, the determination unit 19 determines that it is not difficult to execute the process by the normal processing unit 20, and the proxy server 30 performs a predetermined process. Decide not to act. In this case, the determination unit 19 determines that the normal processing unit 20 executes the process, and outputs a determination result including the process ID of the process to the normal processing unit 20. Note that the determination unit 19 may determine that the proxy server 30 performs the predetermined process even if the required memory capacity for each process is smaller than the available memory capacity. For example, the determination may be made on the basis of a value smaller than the available memory capacity by a predetermined value. In this way, for example, when the predetermined processing is executed by the normal processing unit 20, when the load on the terminal device 10 </ b> A ₁ increases and the processing time becomes long, the proxy server 30 can perform the processing.

  In addition, when the required memory capacity for each process is larger than the available memory capacity, the determination unit 19 considers the available memory capacity, and only processes that cannot be processed by the normal processing unit 20 among predetermined processes. May be determined by the proxy server 30 as a proxy. In this case, a part of the predetermined processing is processed by the normal processing unit 20, and the rest is processed by the proxy server 30. Therefore, the determination unit 19 outputs the determination result to both the normal processing unit 20 and the proxy processing relay unit 22. The determination result output to the normal processing unit 20 includes information for specifying a part of the predetermined processing (“part of processing performed by the normal processing unit 20”). In addition, the determination result output to the proxy process relay unit 22 includes information for specifying the remaining processes (the “remaining processes” that the proxy server 30 performs) among predetermined processes.

  When the determination unit 19 determines whether or not the proxy server 30 performs the processing, the determination unit 19 causes the memory management unit 15 to secure all or part of the available memory capacity. For example, when the determination unit 19 causes the normal processing unit 20 to execute a process, the determination unit 19 causes the memory management unit 15 to secure a memory capacity related to the process. In addition, the determination unit 19 causes the memory management unit 15 to use the available memory capacity in order to display the proxy processing result by the proxy server 30 on the display unit 25 even when the normal processing unit 20 does not execute the process. To secure all or part of

The normal processing unit 20 performs a predetermined process based on the determination result output by the determination unit 19. The normal processing section 20, a processing relating to services provided by the processing system 1 performs a process executed in the terminal device 10A ₁ application. The processing executed by the normal processing unit 20 is predetermined by an application, for example. Specifically, the processing executed by the normal processing section 20 is a normal process that is defined at the time the application is installed in the terminal device 10A _1. For example, when the processing ID output from the determination unit 19 is “0057”, the normal processing unit 20 performs “combination processing”. The normal processing unit 20 inquires of the data management unit 21 about data necessary for “compositing processing”.

Data management unit 21 manages the data in the terminal device 10A _1. The data terminal device 10A in _1, the storage area of the RAM or the like in the terminal apparatus 10A ₁ body, or a data stored in the referable external storage area from the terminal device 10A _1. Here, the data management unit 21 manages information about the game stored in the data recording unit 16. The data recording unit 16 includes basic data necessary for the progress of the game and user-specific information. The data that is the basis of the game is information relating to the game screen, default information relating to the card (information relating to monsters before growth, monster images, etc.), game music, and the like. The default information about the card is managed by, for example, a card data table shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is an example of a card data table. As shown in FIG. 6, in the card data table, “card name”, “card image”, and “card parameter” are associated with “card ID” for identifying a card. In addition, the user-specific information includes the user level, the user's own card information (owned card type or level, etc.), the user's grade, and the like. The information on the user's possession card is managed by, for example, the possession card data table shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is an example of the possessed card data table. As shown in FIG. 7, in the possessed card data table, “card ID” and “card level” are associated with “serial” that identifies a unique card owned by the user. The normal processing unit 20 executes processing based on the information acquired via the data management unit 21 and outputs the execution result to the data recording unit 16 or the input / output unit 17.

  An example in which the normal processing unit 20 executes the synthesis process will be described. The normal processing unit 20 performs synthesis processing based on the processing ID (“0057”) included in the determination result output by the determination unit 19. As described above, the usage parameters when performing the composition processing are the base card serial and the material card serial. The base card serial and the material card serial are determined according to the user operation received by the input operation receiving unit 26. The input operation accepting unit 26 accepts designation of serial (base card serial) of any one of the unique cards managed in the possessed card data table shown in FIG. 7 from the user. Further, the input operation accepting unit 26 designates one or a plurality of serials (material card serial) of any card other than the base card among the unique cards managed in the possessed card data table shown in FIG. , Accepted from the user.

  The normal processing unit 20 acquires the base card serial and the material card serial from the input operation receiving unit 26. Then, the normal processing unit 20 outputs the base card serial and the material card serial to the data management unit 21. The data management unit 21 reads data from the data recording unit 16. That is, the data management unit 21 acquires the card ID and the card level associated with the base card serial and the material card serial from the possessed card data table shown in FIG. Further, the data management unit 21 acquires a card image and card parameters associated with the card ID from the card data table shown in FIG. 6 based on the card ID acquired from the possessed card data table.

  The normal processing unit 20 derives a base card parameter, which is a result parameter of the synthesis process, based on the card parameter and card level related to the base card and the card parameter and card level related to the material card. Further, based on the card image related to the base card and the card image related to the material card, a composite image to be displayed on the display unit 25 is generated during the composite process and after the composite process. The normal processing unit 20 outputs the base card parameters after the synthesis process to the data recording unit 16 via the data management unit 21. In addition, the normal processing unit 20 outputs the composite image to the display unit 25 of the input / output unit 17.

The proxy process relay unit 22 performs a relay process necessary for the proxy server 30 to perform the proxy process. The proxy processing relay unit 22 includes a proxy processing information generation unit 23 and a proxy result receiving unit 24. The proxy processing information generation unit 23 generates information (proxy processing information) necessary for the proxy server 30 to perform proxy processing. The proxy processing information, the process ID of performing proxy processing, the parameters necessary for the proxy process, and includes the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1. The parameters necessary for the proxy processing are the card parameters and card levels related to the base card and the material card, and the card image related to the base card and the material card, which are described in the description of the normal processing unit 20 described above. These pieces of information are acquired based on the user operation received by the input operation receiving unit 26 and the data inquiry to the data management unit 21. Furthermore, the proxy processing information may contain a user ID identifying the user of the terminal device 10A _1. The proxy processing information generation unit 23 outputs the proxy processing information to the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18.

  The proxy result receiving unit 24 receives the result (proxy result) processed by the proxy server 30 via the terminal side transmitting / receiving unit 18. The proxy result receiving unit 24 converts the received information into a data format that can be used by the normal processing unit 20. Then, the proxy result receiving unit 24 outputs the converted data to the data management unit 21. The data management unit 21 outputs the data output by the proxy result receiving unit 24 to the normal processing unit 20 or the data recording unit 16.

The terminal side transceiver 18 communicates with the proxy server 30. Information used for communication includes destination information and data. The terminal-side transmitting / receiving unit 18 transmits transmission destination information and data destined for the proxy server 30. The terminal-side transmitting and receiving unit 18 determines whether or not the information addressed to the mobile station 10A ₁ based on the information on the destination, receives the data when the information addressed to the mobile station 10A _1. Specifically, the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18 transmits, for example, the proxy processing information generated by the proxy processing information generation unit 23 to the proxy server 30, and the proxy server 30 transmits the proxy result executed by the proxy server 30. Receive.

The proxy server 30 includes a server side transmission / reception unit (transmission unit) 32 and a proxy processing unit 31. Server-side transceiver unit 32 communicates with the terminal device 10A _1. Information used for communication includes destination information and data. Server-side transceiver unit 32 transmits the destination information and data to the terminal device 10A ₁ destined. Further, the server-side transmitting / receiving unit 32 determines whether the information is addressed to the proxy server 30 based on the information on the transmission destination, and receives data when the information is addressed to the proxy server 30. Specifically, the server-side transmitting and receiving unit 32 receives, for example, the proxy processing information from the terminal device 10A _1, and transmits the proxy results executed by the proxy processing unit 31 to the terminal device 10A _1.

The proxy processing unit 31 performs at least a part of predetermined processing in the proxy server 30 based on the determination result of the terminal device 10A ₁ (specifically, the determination unit 19). The proxy processing unit 31 includes an analysis unit 33, a calculation unit 34, and a proxy result generation unit 35. The analysis unit 33 analyzes the proxy processing information received by the server side transmission / reception unit 32. Then, the analyzing unit 33, the process ID included in the proxy processing information, parameters necessary for proxy process, and obtains an available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1. Here, the analysis unit 33 may acquire the transmission source user ID from the proxy processing information. The analysis unit 33 outputs the acquired information to the calculation unit 34.

Calculating section 34, the process ID included in the proxy processing information, parameters necessary for proxy process, and based on the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1, it performs processing on behalf of the terminal device 10A _1. Calculating section 34, proxy processing result (the proxy results), adjusted depending on the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1. That is, for example, when an image is included in the proxy result, the calculation unit 34 may adjust at least one of the resolution, gradation, and display number of the image. Note that the processing result (proxy result) is information on a result processed by the proxy processing unit 31 based on the determination of the determination unit 19 and is information transmitted to the terminal device 10A. The calculation unit 34 outputs the proxy result to the proxy result generation unit 35. Acting result generation unit 35, a proxy result processed by the calculating unit 34, a transmittable information to the terminal device 10A _1. For example, the user ID obtained by the analysis unit 33 is used as transmission destination information, and data is transmitted as a proxy result. The proxy result generation unit 35 outputs the transmission destination information and the proxy result to the server side transmission / reception unit 32. Server-side transceiver unit 32 transmits the destination information and proxy result is received by the terminal side reception section 18 of the terminal device 10A _1.

Next, the proxy process of the processing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining proxy processing by the processing system 1. The process shown in FIG. 8 is executed by the terminal device 10A ₁ and the proxy server 30. For example, the terminal device 10A ₁ starts the processing shown from the activation of the application in FIG. 8 is repeatedly executed at predetermined intervals. In addition, the proxy server 30 starts the process shown in FIG. 8 from the start of the program for performing the update process, and repeatedly executes the process at predetermined intervals.

As shown in FIG. 8, first, by the terminal device 10A _1, game management unit 11 outputs a processing command to the determining unit 19 of the processing execution section 13 (S10). The processing instruction includes, for example, a processing ID. For example, the processing instruction includes the processing ID “0057” (processing content: composition) shown in FIG. When the process of S10 ends, the process proceeds to a memory capacity comparison process (S12).

In the process of S12, the determination unit 19 derives the necessary memory capacity for each process from the process ID (“0057”) acquired in the process of S20 and the user operation content. Specifically, the determination unit 19 first refers to the necessary memory table shown in FIG. 5 and “necessary memory” that is the minimum necessary for executing the synthesis process, which is the process identified by the process ID (“0057”). To get. Further, the determination unit 19 derives the necessary memory capacity for each process by multiplying the “necessary memory” by a predetermined coefficient determined according to the user operation. The predetermined coefficient determined according to the user operation is a coefficient determined according to the number of material cards used for the composition process specified by the user operation, for example, in the case of the composition process. That is, the determination unit 19 obtains the number of material cards specified by the user operation, and multiplies the “necessary memory” by a coefficient corresponding to the number, thereby deriving the necessary memory capacity for each process. Note that the determination unit 19 can obtain a predetermined coefficient corresponding to the number of sheets by referring to a table (not shown) that manages the coefficient for each number of sheets, for example. In addition, the determination unit 19 acquires the available memory capacity from the memory management unit 15. Then, the determination unit 19 compares the available memory capacity and each processing required memory capacity, for example, when each processing required memory capacity is less than the available memory capacity, the memory capacity of the terminal device 10A ₁ is missing If not, the process proceeds to normal processing (S14).

  In the process of S14, the normal processing unit 20 executes the process identified by the process ID acquired in the process of S10. Specifically, “synthesis” that is a process identified by the process ID “0057” shown in FIG. 4 is performed. The normal processing unit 20 acquires the base card serial and the material card serial determined according to the user operation received by the input operation receiving unit 26. Then, the normal processing unit 20 derives a base card parameter that is a result parameter of the compositing process based on the card parameter and card level related to the base card and the card parameter and card level related to the material card. Further, based on the card image related to the base card and the card image related to the material card, a composite image to be displayed on the display unit 25 is generated during and after the composite processing. The normal processing unit 20 outputs the composite image to the display unit 25 of the input / output unit 17. When the process of S14 is completed, the process proceeds to a recording process (S28).

  In the processing of S28, the data management unit 21 stores the processing result of S14 in the data recording unit 16 as necessary. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the data management unit 21 records “base card serial” and “base card parameter”, which are the result parameters of the process identified by the process ID “0057”, in the data management unit 21. When the process of S28 ends, the control process shown in FIG. 8 ends.

On the other hand, in the processing of S12, for example, if each processing required memory capacity is larger than the available memory capacity, the memory capacity of the terminal device 10A ₁ is insufficient, the routine proceeds to process of generating proxy processing information ( S16). In step S16, depending proxy processing information generation unit 23, the process ID of performing proxy processing ( "0057"), the parameters necessary for the proxy process, and proxy processing information including the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A ₁ is generated The Here, the parameters necessary for the proxy processing are card parameters and card levels related to the base card and the material card, and card images related to the base card and the material card. These pieces of information are acquired based on the user operation received by the input operation receiving unit 26 and the data inquiry to the data management unit 21. The proxy processing information generation unit 23 outputs the proxy processing information to the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18. The terminal-side transmitting / receiving unit 18 transmits the transmission destination information to the network N (see FIG. 1) using the proxy server 30 and the proxy processing information as transmission data. When the process of S16 ends, the process proceeds to a proxy process information reception process (S18).

In the process of S18, the server side transmitting / receiving unit 32 of the proxy server 30 receives the proxy process information. For example, the server-side transmission / reception unit 32 includes a processing ID (“0057”), parameters necessary for the substitution process (card parameters and card levels related to the base card and the material card, and card images related to the base card and the material card), and receiving an available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A ₁ as proxy processing information. When the process of S18 is completed, the process proceeds to the proxy process information analysis process (S20).

In the process of S <b> 20, the server side transmission / reception unit 32 outputs the proxy processing information described above to the analysis unit 33. The analysis unit 33 analyzes the proxy process information, processes ID (“0057”) included in the proxy process information, parameters necessary for the proxy process (card parameters and card levels related to the base card and the material card, the base card, card images) according to the material card, and obtains the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1. Here, the analysis unit 33 may acquire the transmission source user ID from the proxy processing information. When the process of S20 ends, the process proceeds to the execution process of the proxy process (S22).

In the process of S22, the calculation unit 34 determines the process ID (“0057”) included in the proxy process information, parameters necessary for the proxy process (card parameters and card levels related to the base card and the material card, the base card and the material card) card images) according to, and based on the available memory capacity of the terminal device 10A _1, it executes the proxy process. When the process of S22 ends, the process proceeds to a substitute result generation process (S24).

In the process of S24, the proxy result generation unit 35 converts the proxy result obtained in the process of S22 into information that can be transmitted to the terminal device 10A. For example, the user ID obtained by the analysis unit 33 is set as transmission destination information, and the base card parameter and the combined image after the combination process, which are the substitute results of the process ID “0057”, are set as transmission data. The proxy result generation unit 35 outputs the transmission destination information and the proxy result to the server side transmission / reception unit 32. The server-side transmitting / receiving unit 32 transmits the transmission destination information to the network N as the terminal device 10A ₁ and the proxy result (base card parameter and composite image after the combination process) as transmission data. When the process of S24 ends, the process proceeds to a proxy result acceptance process (S26).

  In the process of S <b> 26, the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18 receives the proxy result (base card parameter and composite image after the synthesis process), and outputs the result to the proxy result receiving unit 24. The proxy result receiving unit 24 converts the received proxy result (base card parameters and synthesized image after the synthesis process) into a data format that can be used by the normal processing unit 20. Then, the proxy result receiving unit 24 outputs the converted data to the data management unit 21. When the process of S26 ends, the process proceeds to a recording process (S28).

  In the processing of S28, the data management unit 21 outputs the processing result of S26 to the data recording unit 16 as necessary. The data management unit 21 outputs the data output by the proxy result receiving unit 24 to the data recording unit 16. For example, the data management unit 21 outputs the base card parameter after the synthesis process (and after the data format conversion), which is the proxy result of the process ID “0057”, to the data recording unit 16 and stores it. In addition, the data management unit 21 may output the base card parameter and the synthesized image after the synthesis process (and after the data format conversion), which are the substitute results of the process ID “0057”, to the normal processing unit 20. When the composite image that is the proxy result of the process ID “0057” is output to the normal processing unit 20, the normal processing unit 20 displays the composite image that is the proxy result of the process ID “0057” on the display unit 25. Thereby, the composite image is provided to the user. When the process of S28 ends, the control process shown in FIG. 8 ends.

Thus, the control process shown in FIG. 8 ends. By executing the control processing shown in FIG. 8, the processing of the terminal device 10 </ b> A ₁ is performed by the proxy server 30.

Next, the terminal processing program and the server processing program for causing a computer to function as a terminal device 10A ₁ or the proxy server 30.

The terminal processing program includes a main module, an input module, and an arithmetic processing module. The main module is a part that comprehensively controls terminal processing. The input module operates the computer to accept input from the user. The arithmetic processing module includes a processing execution module and a game management module. Functions realized by executing the main module, the input module, and the arithmetic processing module are the input / output unit 17, the process execution unit 13 (determination unit 19), the game management unit 11, and the memory management unit of the terminal device 10 </ b> A ₁ described above. 15 and the function of the terminal-side transceiver 18 are the same.

  The server processing program includes a main module, an input module, and an arithmetic processing module. The main module is a part that centrally controls server processing. The input module operates the computer to accept input from the user. The arithmetic processing module includes a proxy generation module and a proxy processing module. The functions realized by executing the main module, the input module, and the arithmetic processing module are the same as the functions of the server-side transmitting / receiving unit 32 and the proxy processing unit 31 of the proxy server 30 described above.

  The terminal processing program and the server processing program are provided by a recording medium such as a ROM or a semiconductor memory, for example. The terminal processing program and the server processing program may be provided as data signals via a network.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining the operation and effect of the processing system 1. Application process A that is installed in the terminal device 10A _1, process B, and example explains how to perform the processing C. For example, process A, whereas the processing B can be executed in the terminal device 10A _1, for processing C, in terms of such a memory capacity, may not be able to run in the terminal device 10A _1. In other words, possible memory capacity less utilized in the terminal apparatus 10A _1, the processing for each required memory capacity according to the process C exceeds the available memory capacity, it may not be possible to execute processing C in the terminal device 10A _1. In such a case, conventionally, for example, the memory capacity of the terminal device is ensured by restricting the function of the application or system of the terminal device.

  However, in the method of securing the memory capacity by performing the function restriction, the memory can be appropriately secured only when there is a function that can be restricted. In addition, there is a risk that memory may be secured by restricting functions that should not be restricted.

In contrast, in the processing system 1 according to the embodiment, by executing the processing shown in FIG. 8, thereby acting the processing C that can not be executed by the terminal device 10A ₁ to the proxy server 30. Then, by the terminal device 10A ₁ receives the result of the processing C from the proxy server 30 may provide to the user the result C as if the terminal device 10A ₁ is executed. Therefore, even if it is not possible to secure a sufficient memory capacity in the terminal device 10A _1, without limiting the functionality of the terminal device 10A _1, can execute predetermined processing (processing C).

In the first embodiment described above, the terminal device 10A ₁ is but a data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21, the proxy server 30 may be provided with a data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21. In this case, the data in the proxy server 30 is updated based on the progress of the game. The data in the proxy server 30 is data stored in a storage area such as a RAM in the proxy server 30 main body or an external storage area that can be referenced from the proxy server 30. When the determination unit 19 determines that the execution destination of the process is the proxy server 30, only the determination result is notified to the proxy server 30. Based on the determination result, the proxy processing unit 31 queries the data management unit 21 included in the proxy server 30 for necessary data, and acquires proxy processing information from the data recording unit 16 included in the proxy server 30. The proxy processing unit 31, and processing based on the alternate process information, and transmits the proxy result to the terminal device 10A _1. Thus, the proxy server 30 even when provided with a data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21, it is possible to delegate the processing of the terminal device 10A _1. Alternatively, the terminal device 10 </ b> A ₁ may include a predetermined part of the data recording unit 16 and the proxy server 30 may include another part of the data recording unit 16. Thus, the data in the data recording unit 16 is distributed even when present in the terminal device 10A ₁ and the proxy server 30, proxy server 30 may intercept the processing of the terminal device 10A1. Further, the terminal device 10A ₁ and the proxy server 30 may be provided with data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21. In this case, it is possible to reduce the amount of communication between the terminal device 10A ₁ and the proxy server 30 associated with the proxy.

(Second Embodiment)
Processing system 1B according to this embodiment includes a processing system 1 according to the first embodiment is substantially the same configuration, the determining unit 19 that existed in the terminal device 10A ₁ side in the processing system 1 is present in the proxy server 30 side The point is different. Below, it demonstrates centering around difference with the processing system 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment, and abbreviate | omits description about the same part.

The hardware configuration of the processing system 1B according to the present embodiment is the same as that of the processing system 1. Further, the processing system 1B, a terminal device corresponding to the terminal device 10A _1, will be described as the terminal device 10B _1. The plurality of terminal devices 10A ₂ to 10A _n in the first embodiment correspond to the plurality of terminal devices 10B ₂ to 10B _n . The plurality of terminal devices 10B ₂ to 10B _n can be configured in the same manner as the terminal device 10B ₁ .

FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the processing system 1B. As shown in FIG. 10, the terminal device 10B ₁ includes, for example, input unit 17, the process execution unit 13B, the game management unit 11B, a memory management unit 15B and the terminal side transceiver 18. The terminal device 10B ₁ includes a process ID table 12 and a data recording unit 16, for example.

The game management unit 11B is configured in substantially the same manner as the game management unit 11, and the output destination of the process ID is different. The game management unit 11B outputs the process ID to the terminal-side transmission / reception unit 18 and the memory management unit 15B. The process execution unit 13B is configured in substantially the same manner as the process execution unit 13, and the input destination of the process ID is different. The process execution unit 13B acquires the process ID from the information received by the terminal-side transmission / reception unit 18. In addition, the process execution unit 13B uses a predetermined coefficient corresponding to the user operation received by the input operation reception unit 26 as information used for derivation of a necessary memory capacity for each process by the determination unit 19B described later. Output to. The memory management unit 15B is configured in substantially the same manner as the memory management unit 15, and the output destination of the available memory capacity is different. The memory management unit 15B outputs the available memory capacity to the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18. The terminal-side transmitting / receiving unit 18 uses the proxy server 30B as the transmission destination, and transmits the process ID, the predetermined coefficient, and the available memory capacity as transmission data. Other configurations are the same as the terminal device 10A _1.

  The proxy server 30B includes a server-side transmission / reception unit 32, a proxy processing unit 31, and a determination unit 19B. In addition, the proxy server 30B includes a necessary memory table 14B, for example.

Server-side transceiver unit 32, from the terminal device 10B _1, receiving data processing ID, and predetermined coefficients and the available memory capacity and transmission data. The determination unit 19B determines the necessary memory capacity for each process related to the process corresponding to the process ID based on the process ID and the predetermined coefficient received from the server-side transmission / reception unit 32 and the information acquired with reference to the necessary memory table 14B. get. The data stored in the necessary memory table 14B is the same as the necessary memory table 14. Then, the determination unit 19B compares the required memory capacity for each process with the available memory capacity received from the server-side transmission / reception unit 32, and the proxy server 30B determines at least one of the processes corresponding to the process ID according to the comparison result. Decide whether to act on behalf of the department. The determination unit 19 </ b> B outputs a determination result including the process ID and the available memory capacity to the server side transmission / reception unit 32. When it is determined that the proxy server 30 </ b> B does not perform the predetermined process, the determination result is transmitted to the normal processing unit 20 via the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18. When the proxy server 30 </ b> B is determined to perform a predetermined process, the determination result is transmitted to the proxy processing relay unit 22 via the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18.

Next, the proxy process of the processing system 1B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining proxy processing by the processing system 1B. The process shown in FIG. 11 is executed by the terminal device 10B ₁ and the proxy server 30B. For example, the terminal device 10B ₁ starts the process illustrated in FIG. 11 from the activation of the application, and repeatedly executes the process at predetermined intervals. In addition, the proxy server 30B starts the process shown in FIG. 11 from the start of the program for performing the update process, and repeatedly executes the process at predetermined intervals.

As shown in FIG. 11, first, by the terminal device 10B _1, the processing command from the game management unit 11B is outputted (S50). The processing instruction includes, for example, a processing ID. For example, the processing instruction includes the processing ID “0057” (processing content: composition) shown in FIG. Further, the processing command includes a predetermined coefficient that is accepted by the input operation accepting unit 26 and determined according to the user operation, that is, a coefficient that corresponds to the number of material cards specified by the user operation in the composition process. Further, the available memory capacity is output from the memory management unit 15B to the terminal side transmission / reception unit 18 in accordance with a processing command from the game management unit 11B. Next, the proxy server 30B receives a processing instruction to the terminal device 10B ₁ (S51). Then, the process proceeds to a memory capacity comparison process (S52). In the processing of S52, the determination unit 19B performs processing corresponding to the processing ID (“0057”) based on the processing ID (“0057”), a predetermined coefficient, and information acquired with reference to the necessary memory table 14B. The necessary memory capacity is acquired for each process. Further, determination unit 19B is, processing each required memory capacity and compares the available memory capacity, it is determined whether the memory capacity of the terminal device 10B ₁ is insufficient. For example, when each processing required memory capacity is less than the available memory capacity is determined that the memory capacity of the terminal device 10B ₁ is not insufficient. Determination unit 19B, when the memory capacity of the terminal device 10B ₁ is determined not to insufficient transmits the determination result with a process performed by the terminal device 10B ₁ side to the terminal device 10B _1.

And it is determined whether the terminal side transmission / reception part 18 received the determination result determined by the process of S52 (S53). In the process of S53, when the determination result that the process is to be executed on the terminal device 10B ₁ side is received, the process proceeds to the normal process (S54).

  In the process of S54, the normal processing unit 20 executes the process identified by the process ID. This process is the same as the process of S14, and “synthesis”, which is a process identified by the process ID “0057” shown in FIG. 4, is performed. When the process of S54 is completed, the process proceeds to a recording process (S70).

  In the processing of S70, the data management unit 21 stores the processing result of S54 in the data recording unit 16 as necessary. This process is the same as the process of S28. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, “base card serial” and “base card parameter”, which are the result parameters of the process identified by the process ID “0057”, are recorded in the data management unit 21. When the process of S70 ends, the control process shown in FIG. 11 ends.

On the other hand, in the process of S52, for example, when the required memory capacity for each process is larger than the available memory capacity, the determination unit 19B proceeds to the proxy process information generation request process (S55). In the processing of S55, the determination unit 19B transmits a request for generating proxy processing information to the terminal device 10B _1. Then, the terminal device 10B ₁ receives a request for generating proxy processing information (S56). Then, the process proceeds to proxy process information generation process (S58). The process of S58 to S70 is the same as the process of S16 to S28. When the process of S70 ends, the control process shown in FIG. 11 ends.

This is the end of the control process shown in FIG. By executing the control processing shown in FIG. 11, the processing of the terminal device 10B ₁ it is intercepted by the proxy server 30B.

A terminal processing program and a server processing program for causing a computer to function as the terminal device 10B ₁ or the proxy server 30B are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  As described above, the processing system 1B according to the second embodiment has the same effects as the processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

In the second embodiment described above, the terminal device 10B ₁ is but a data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21, the proxy server 30B may be provided with a data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21. In this case, when the determination unit 19 determines that the execution destination of the process is the proxy server 30B, the proxy processing unit 31 inquires the data management unit 21 provided in the proxy server 30B for necessary data based on the determination result. Then, the proxy processing information is acquired from the data recording unit 16 provided in the proxy server 30B. The proxy processing unit 31, and processing based on the alternate process information, and transmits the proxy result to the terminal device 10B _1. Thus, proxy server 30B even when provided with a data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21, it is possible to delegate the processing of the terminal device 10B _1. Alternatively, the terminal device 10 </ b> B ₁ may include a predetermined part of the data recording unit 16 and the proxy server 30 </ b> B may include another part of the data recording unit 16. Thus, even if the data in the data recording unit 16 is present in the dispersed terminal 10B ₁ and proxy server 30B, proxy server 30B may delegate the processing of the terminal device 10B1. Further, the terminal device 10B ₁ and proxy server 30B may be provided with data recording unit 16 and the data management unit 21. In this case, it is possible to reduce the amount of communication between the terminal device 10B ₁ with the proxy and the proxy server 30B.

  Although the embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Hereinafter, modified examples will be described.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the predetermined process executed in the normal processing unit 20 is a process related to a game, but may be anything as long as it is a process on the terminal side related to a service provided by the processing system 1.

  For example, in the first embodiment described above, the determination unit 19 determines the processing destination before the normal processing unit 20 executes the process, but the normal processing unit 20 executes the process, and the normal processing unit 20 performs the process. If it cannot be executed, the determination unit 19 may determine the processing destination. The same applies to the second embodiment.

For example, in the first embodiment described above, the determination unit 19 as information for determining whether it is difficult to execute predetermined processing in the normal processing section 20, a memory capacity of the terminal device 10A ₁ Having described the example using the information, for example, it may be used information on other hardware resources such as a hard disk capacity of the terminal device 10A _1. In this case, a configuration for managing other hardware resources can be used as a configuration corresponding to the memory management unit 15 that manages the memory capacity.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, it has been shown that the determination units 19 and 19B determine whether or not the proxy servers 30 and 30B perform the predetermined process, but the determination units 19 and 19B perform the predetermined process. It may be determined whether or not the proxy servers 30 and 30B perform at least a part.
