It is a screen example of the game displayed on the user terminal of FIG. The figure is before collection. It is a figure which shows the change of the collection | recovery flag currently displayed on FIG. It is a screen example of the game displayed on the user terminal of FIG. The figure is after the collection operation. It is a figure which shows the exchange of communication between the user terminal and game server at the time of collection | recovery work with time. It is an example of the possession coin management table which the game server of FIG. 1 manages. It is a figure which shows the exchange of communication between the user terminal and game server at the time of the collection | recovery operation | work by the modification of this Embodiment with time.

  A game realized by the game program according to the embodiment of the present invention builds a building such as a commercial facility in the game virtual space and collects in-game profit (hereinafter referred to as “coin”) from the building after a certain time. (Hereinafter referred to as “recovery work”), and a cycle in which a building is further built using coins obtained by the recovery work.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game according to the present embodiment includes a user terminal 10 and a game server 20. The user terminal 10 and the game server 20 can communicate with each other via the Internet 30. The user terminal 10 may be any device that can display a game image generated by the game server 20 and / or the user terminal 10 using an application such as a browser. For example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a game console, a notebook PC, a desktop PC Etc., but is not limited to these.

  As illustrated, the user terminal 10 includes a terminal display unit 11, a terminal input unit 12, a terminal processing unit 13, a terminal communication unit 14, a terminal storage unit 15, and the like, which are electrically connected to each other via a bus. Connected. The terminal display unit 11 displays the game image received by the terminal communication unit 14 from the game server 20 and temporarily stored in the terminal storage unit 15 on the screen of the terminal. The terminal display unit 11 can be realized by, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or the like. In the present embodiment, the terminal display unit 11 is particularly preferably configured as a multi-touch screen. The terminal input unit 12 is a command for controlling the operation of the virtual camera arranged in the three-dimensional virtual space, and a user action for various objects arranged in the three-dimensional virtual space (such as “selection” and “move” of the city object) ) Is input. The input means can be character input using a keyboard or virtual keyboard, click of a city object with a mouse, touch input with a finger at a position on the touch screen corresponding to the object position, input with a stylus, or a combination thereof. However, it is not limited to these.

  Based on the input command received by the terminal input unit 12, the terminal processing unit 13 creates a user command and communicates with the game server 20 through the terminal communication unit 14 and the network 40. The terminal storage unit 15 stores various data associated with the user terminal and applications such as a browser necessary for displaying image data, and also temporarily stores various data such as image data received from the game server 20. The terminal processing unit 13 may also be configured to execute the game program module stored in the terminal storage unit 15 on the terminal side based on various data received by download from the game server 20.

  On the other hand, the game server 20 includes a processing unit 51, a main memory 52, an external memory 53, an interface 54, a communication unit 55, a disk drive 56, and the like, which are electrically connected to each other via a bus. The processing unit 51 controls the progress of the game by loading the program module stored in the external memory 53 and various data stored in the disk drive 56 into the main memory 52 and sequentially executing the program. . In particular, the processing unit 51 is configured to generate a display game image on the user terminal 10 and return it to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 55. The interface 54 is accessed by the administrator of the game server 20 to perform various server function settings and network settings.

  In addition, you may comprise so that the user terminal 10 may bear all or one part of various functions as an information processing apparatus regarding the said game server 20. FIG. In this case, the user terminal 10 may constitute a single information processing device, or the user terminal 10 and the game server 20 may constitute the information processing device.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the game program collection operation and data communication according to the present embodiment will be described.

<Recovery work>
As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of buildings (city objects) are arranged by the user in the game screen according to the present embodiment. In each building, a predetermined amount of coins is accumulated by progress of in-game time or achievement of in-game event. When the building stores at least one coin, a collection flag 102 is displayed in the vicinity of the building. The user can know that the collection operation (described later) is possible by displaying the collection flag.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the display form of the recovery flag 102 changes depending on the amount of coins currently accumulated in the building. Specifically, the percentage of the current coin accumulation amount out of the maximum saving amount preset in the building is displayed as the filled range G of the collection flag 102. For example, FIG. 3A shows a state where the amount of coins is accumulated about 20% of the maximum saving amount, and FIG. 4B shows a state where about 90% of the maximum saving amount is accumulated.

  The collection work according to the present embodiment is performed depending on whether or not the user performs a contact operation on the building on which the collection flag 102 is displayed. For example, referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the user performs a collecting operation by tracing (sliding) the touch panel of the user terminal 10 in the direction of the arrow in the drawing with a finger or the like. At this time, among the buildings that are in contact with the user's finger and the collection flag 102 is displayed, the coins stored in the building at that time are associated with the user. Specifically, when a contact operation (tap operation) is performed on the building on which the collection flag 102 is displayed, the amount of coins accumulated in the building is reflected in the owned coin display unit 100 and is simultaneously accumulated. Information regarding the amount of coins that has been stored is transmitted to the game server 20. In the game server 20, a process of associating the received coin amount with the user is performed (described later).

  In this embodiment, in addition to tapping the building one by one, the collection operation is performed even if the building where the collection flag 102 is displayed is the starting point and the building is continuously touched by a slide operation. Can do. Thereby, it becomes easy to carry out a collection operation at once from a wide range and a large number of buildings.

<Data communication>
As shown in FIG. 5, when the collection operation # 1 is performed at the user terminal 10 and the collection operation # 2 is performed again within the predetermined time TS, the collection operation # 2 is completed when the collection operation # 2 is completed. 1 is transmitted to the game server 20 as data _ [# 1 + # 2], which is a sum of the amount of coins collected by 1 and the amount of coins collected by the collection operation # 2. The game server 20 that has received the value updates the information in the owned coin management table associated with each user, as shown in FIG. For example, after the collection operation # 3, if no other collection operation is performed during the predetermined time TS, the value of the amount of coins collected by the collection operation # 3 is given to the game server 20. It transmits as data _ [# 3].

<Modification>
In the embodiment described above, a series of collection operations that are continuously performed without a predetermined time interval TS are used as data to be transmitted at once. The amount of coins collected by the slide operation may be transmitted to the game server in a lump. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, one slide operation (that is, a user's finger contact operation, a touch operation on the touch panel, a user, regardless of the time interval between the collection operations # 1 to # 3) The amount of coins obtained by the collecting operations # 1 to # 3 performed by the finger contact release operation) may be transmitted to the game server 20 as data _ [# 1 + # 2 + # 3].

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the modified example, and the combination of the present embodiment and the modified example, the communication is not performed with the game server 20 every time the collection work is performed, and the operation is continuously performed for a predetermined time. If there is, the amount of coins obtained by the continuous operation is collectively transmitted to the game server 20. Thereby, since the communication frequency between the user terminal 10 and the game server 20 can be lowered | hung, a line | wire burden can be reduced.

  The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and it is needless to say that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
