In one embodiment, each item object 106 displays an image of an item set in the corresponding item frame of this character, and if no item is set in the corresponding item frame, the item is displayed. An image or the like indicating that it is not set is displayed. As shown in the figure, a predetermined interval is provided between the accessory object 106c and the first ability object 106d.

  Here, the unit area 62a in the party display area 62 according to the embodiment is configured to receive an instruction for setting a character platoon (avant-garde / rear guard) and an item setting instruction from a user. Specifically, by selecting the character image display area 102, the user can issue an instruction to change the character's platoon (avant-garde / avant-garde). For example, from the avant-garde to the avant-garde, or from the avant-garde to the avant-garde, The character's platoon changes.

  Further, the user can instruct setting of an item according to the content of the touch operation by touching the item information display area 105. In one embodiment, this touch operation includes a tap operation and a swipe operation. First, an item setting method according to a tap operation on the item information display area 105 will be described.

  In one embodiment, when a tap operation on any one of the five item objects 106 included in the item information display area 105 is detected, the unit area 62a corresponds to the object 106 on which the tap operation is performed. The equipment change screen 70 illustrated in FIG. 9 for changing the item setting (items to be equipped with the character) of the item frame to be displayed is displayed in an overlay manner. As shown in the drawing, the equipment change screen 70 according to the embodiment includes information on a selected character (a character corresponding to the unit area 62a including the object 106 that has been tapped), and a selected item frame ( A current item display area 72 for displaying information related to the item currently set in the item frame corresponding to the object 106 tapped), an item selection area 74 for selecting an item to be newly equipped, And a confirmation button 76 displayed as “”. In the current item display area 72, for example, information such as a character image, a character name, an item image, an item name, and an item level is displayed.

  In the item selection area 74, information on items that can be set in the selected item frame among items held by the user is displayed in a list, and a release button 74a that displays “Remove” is displayed at the top of the list display. Be placed. The user operates the scroll bar of the item selection area 74 as necessary, and selects a desired item to be set in the item frame of the selected character from a plurality of settable items.

  Here, in the RPG according to an embodiment, as described above, for the character, for example, an item that can be equipped changes according to occupation. Therefore, the items displayed in the item selection area 74 are items of the type (weapon in the example of FIG. 9) corresponding to the selected item frame among the items held by the user, and are selected. It is an item that can be equipped by the character that has been.

  When the user selects any item from the items displayed in the item selection area 74 and selects the confirm button 76, the setting of the item currently set in the item frame is canceled (item The selected item is set in the item frame (equipped with the character). Further, when the cancel button 74a displayed in the item selection area 74 is selected and the confirm button 76 is selected, the setting of the currently set item is canceled and the corresponding item frame becomes an empty item frame.

  The item setting method according to the tap operation of the item information display area 105 has been described above. Next, an item setting method according to the swipe operation of the item information display area 105 will be described. In one embodiment, when a swipe operation on two or more objects 106 among the five item objects 106 included in the item information display area 105 is detected, the unit area 62a includes two or more swipe operations that have been performed. The settings of the items in the item frames respectively corresponding to the objects 106 are configured to be changed collectively.

  In one embodiment, the batch setting change of the item according to the swipe operation can be performed by applying various rules. For example, it is possible to apply a rule that collectively cancels the setting of items currently set in the item frame corresponding to the object 106 for which the swipe operation has been performed. In addition, for example, a rule is applied in which, among items held by a user who can be set in the corresponding item frame, items having the maximum parameter values such as the character's attack power, defense power and HP are collectively set. be able to. For example, in one embodiment, a plurality of rules that can be applied to batch change of item settings according to a swipe operation are provided so that a user can select a desired rule from the plurality of rules in advance. good.

  In one embodiment, a rule to be applied may be determined based on an item setting state in an item frame corresponding to the object 106 for which the swipe operation has been performed. For example, if an item is set in any of the corresponding item frames, the settings of the currently set items are canceled at once, and all of the corresponding item frames are empty with no items set. In such a state, the items having the maximum character parameter value may be collectively set.

  Furthermore, in one embodiment, a rule to be applied can be determined based on the direction of the swipe operation. For example, when a swipe operation is performed in the right direction (for example, arrow A1 in FIG. 10A), the settings of the items currently set in the item frame corresponding to the object 106 for which the swipe operation has been performed are collectively canceled. Then, when a swipe operation is performed in the left direction (for example, arrow A2 in FIG. 10B), an item having the maximum character parameter value may be set in a corresponding item frame in a lump. .

  In one embodiment, when canceling the settings of currently set items in a batch, the information of the items whose settings have been canceled is stored in the item information storage area 51a, and the items whose settings have been canceled Can be configured to be collectively set in an item frame of other characters or the like. For example, when a swipe operation is performed in one direction (for example, the right direction), the setting of the item currently set in the corresponding item frame is canceled, and information on the item for which these settings are canceled (for example, the item) ID and acquisition date / time) are stored in the item information storage area 51a, and then when the swipe operation is performed in another direction (for example, left direction), the item whose information is stored in the item information storage area 51a is handled. You may make it set to the item frame to do.

  FIG. 11 illustrates a state where an item equipped with one character is removed and another character is equipped with such a swipe operation. For example, when a right swipe operation from the weapon object 106a to the armor object 106b is detected in the unit area 62a of the character A (1), the weapon and the armor currently equipped with the character A are collectively removed. At the same time, information on these weapons and armor is stored in the item information storage area 51a (2), and then a left swipe operation from the armor object 106b to the weapon object 106a is detected in the unit area 62a of the character D. Then, (3) weapons and armor removed from the character A whose information is stored in the item information storage area 51a are collectively equipped on the character D (4). With such a configuration, the user can equip other characters with a plurality of items equipped by one character by two swipe operations (such as a so-called cut and paste operation).

  Here, the item frame corresponding to the object 106 for which the swipe operation (the swipe operation in the left direction in the example of FIG. 11) for collectively setting the items whose information is stored in the item information storage area 51a is displayed in the information box. If the stored item is not an item frame that can be set (for example, if the type of the corresponding item frame is different from the type of the item in which the information is stored, or the character corresponding to the item in which the information is stored) For example, it may be assumed that the camera cannot be equipped with a predetermined error process).

  Further, in the unit area 62a of each character in the party display area 62, an object 106 corresponding to an item frame in which an item whose information is stored in the item information storage area 51a can be set, and an item frame in which the item cannot be set It is also possible to configure so that the object 106 corresponding to is displayed in a different display form. With this configuration, the user can easily identify the object 106 corresponding to the item frame in which the item in which the information is stored can be set. Further, on the party management screen 60, information (for example, item image) relating to items whose information is stored in the item information storage area 51a may be displayed.

  In one embodiment, after an item equipped with one character is removed and item information is stored in the item information storage area 51a, an item equipped with another character is removed. In this case, the information of the item removed from the other character can be stored (overwritten) in the item information storage area 51a instead of the information of the item removed from one character. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, when a right swipe operation from the weapon object 106a to the armor object 106b is detected in the unit area 62a of the character A (1), the character A is currently equipped. The weapons and armor are removed in a lump and information on these weapons and armor is stored in the item information storage area 51a (2). Thereafter, in the unit area 62a of the character D, the weapon object 106a is transferred to the accessory object 106c. When a swipe operation in the right direction is detected (3), the weapon, armor, and accessory that this character D is currently equipped with are removed, and information on these weapon, armor, and accessory is stored in the item information storage area 51a. (4). Thereafter, when a left swipe operation from the accessory object 106c to the weapon object 106a is detected in the unit area 62a of the character E (5), it is removed from the character D whose information is stored in the item information storage area 51a. Weapons, armor, and accessories are equipped on the character E all together (6).

  Furthermore, in one embodiment, when all of the item frames corresponding to the item object 106 for which the swipe operation has been performed are empty item frames in which no item is set, regardless of the direction of the swipe operation, the item information When the items whose information is stored in the storage area 51a are collectively set in the corresponding item frame and the item is set in at least one of the corresponding item frames, the setting of the set item is changed. The information of the item whose setting has been canceled can be configured to be canceled in a lump and to be stored (overwritten) in the item information storage area 51a.

  In one embodiment, if all of the item frames corresponding to the object 106 that has been subjected to the swipe operation for canceling the setting of the items collectively are empty item frames in which no item is set, You may make it set the item with the largest parameter value collectively.

  As described above, the party management screen 60 according to the embodiment is configured such that the unit area 62a in the party display area 62 accepts an instruction for setting a character platoon (avant-garde / rear) and an item setting instruction from a user. The item setting instruction is realized by a tap operation and a swipe operation on the item object 106 included in the item information display area 105. In addition, in the item setting according to the swipe operation, the item setting of a plurality of item frames can be changed at once, and the item to be equipped between a plurality of characters can be changed (one character is equipped) Can be set to other characters). When the character platoon (avant-garde / avant-garde) is set or the item to be equipped is set, the corresponding character platoon (avant-garde / avant-garde) and the corresponding setting item in the possessed character information management table 41a are displayed. Updated.
