Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To establish a method which enables data indicating a specific state among many states to be promptly shared between users and between devices.SOLUTION: A state monitoring section 102 monitors whether or not designation of a specific state is continued in a user terminal 1-1 which accesses an information processing device using a first identifier. A second identifier generation section 103 generates a second identifier when access of the user terminal 1-1 using the first identifier is received by a reception section 101. A correspondence management section 104 manages a correspondence relation between the first identifier corresponding to the specific state and the generated second identifier during a period when the designation of the specific state is continued in the user terminal 1-1 or a predetermined time span after the period is completed, and abolishes the correspondence relation between the first identifier and the second identifier when termination of the designation of the specific state in the user terminal 1-1 or a lapse of predetermined period after the termination is monitored.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

Description

  The present invention relates to a program, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system.

In a system composed of a plurality of terminals connected to a server, in order to share a specific state (Web page displayed by a Web browser) specified at the terminal A at another terminal B Conventionally, there is a technique for synchronizing A and terminal B via a communication network (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
However, in order to realize this technique with predetermined information security, it is necessary to perform authentication processing from one of the terminals A and B to the other. In order to realize such authentication processing, the server needs to manage user information corresponding to each terminal. However, careful management is required for user information management, and user information may not be held in a server or a terminal due to various circumstances.
Therefore, it is required to share a specific state without going through a communication connection. However, in order to meet this requirement, a large amount of information requires a lot of effort to share, so the user However, it is desirable that the amount of information be such that it can be easily stored and transmitted.

  As an example of a technique for shortening an excessive amount of information for humans to a certain amount, an arbitrary URL on the web is shortened to a shorter character string, and the original long URL and the URL are There is a technique for associating a short URL generated at the time of registration and transferring to the original long URL when the short URL is accessed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP 2013-120603 A JP 2012-174205 A

However, even the technique for shortening the URL described above is not suitable for verbal transmission because the number of digits of the URL, which is an identifier of only alphanumeric lowercase letters, cannot be extremely shortened.
Also, the method of shortening the URL does not have scalability because a combination of identifiers is consumed each time new data is registered.
In addition, the URL indicates the location of information on the Web, as indicated by the name of Uniform Resource Locator, and the information (corresponding to the specific state described above) provided at that location is arbitrary by the Web page creator. Can be specified. Specifically, the information indicating the contents of the top page of the company identified by a certain URL is arbitrarily specified, but the existing URL cannot guarantee the uniqueness of this information, As it is, it is not suitable for transmitting arbitrarily designated information. Therefore, the shortened URL technique, which is a service for shortening the URL, is not suitable for transmitting this information.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and a technique for immediately sharing a specific state indicated by a certain device between users and between devices without performing special user authentication processing. The purpose is to establish.

In order to achieve the above object, an information processing program according to one aspect of the present invention is provided.
To a server that communicates with a plurality of terminals that are reproducible and can display a specific state arbitrarily designated by the user based on the designation,
An accepting step of accepting access from a first terminal among the plurality of terminals using a first identifier uniquely associated with the specific state;
A monitoring step of monitoring whether or not the designation of the specific state is continued in the first terminal that has made access using the first identifier;
A generation step of generating a second identifier when access using the first identifier by the first terminal is accepted;
A display control step for executing control to display the generated second identifier on the first terminal;
In the period when the designation of the specific state is continued in the first terminal or in a predetermined period after the period is over, the first identifier corresponding to the specific state, the generated second identifier, When the end of designation of the specific state or the elapse of a predetermined period from the end is monitored in the first terminal, the association between the first identifier and the second identifier is performed. A management step to discard,
While the management is continued in the management step, when the second identifier is notified from the second terminal among the plurality of terminals, it corresponds to the first identifier associated with the second identifier. A state reproduction step of executing control for making the specific state reproducible by the second terminal;
The control process including is executed.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking as an example a network game performed by connecting a server and a terminal through network communication.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The information processing system shown in FIG. 1 is a system including user terminals 1-1 to 1-m used by m users (m is an arbitrary integer value of 1 or more) and a server 2. Each of the user terminals 1-1 to 1-m and the server 2 are connected to each other via a predetermined network N such as the Internet.

The server 2 provides a game execution environment to each of the user terminals 1-1 to 1-m, and provides various services related to the game executed on each of the user terminals 1-1 to 1-m. To do.
Each of the user terminals 1-1 to 1-m is configured by a smartphone or the like operated by each user, and executes various processes such as game execution.
Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to individually distinguish each of the user terminals 1-1 to 1-m, these are collectively referred to as “user terminal 1”.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the user terminal 1 in the information processing system of FIG.

The user terminal 1 is configured by a smartphone or the like as described above.
The user terminal 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 23, a bus 24, an input / output interface 25, a touch operation input unit 26, a display Unit 27, input unit 28, storage unit 29, communication unit 30, and drive 31.

The CPU 21 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 22 or a program loaded from the storage unit 29 to the RAM 23.
The RAM 23 appropriately stores data necessary for the CPU 21 to execute various processes.

  The CPU 21, ROM 22, and RAM 23 are connected to each other via a bus 24. An input / output interface 25 is also connected to the bus 24. A touch operation input unit 26, a display unit 27, an input unit 28, a storage unit 29, a communication unit 30, and a drive 31 are connected to the input / output interface 25.

The touch operation input unit 26 includes, for example, a capacitance type or resistive film type (pressure sensitive) position input sensor stacked on the display surface of the display unit 27, and detects coordinates of a position where the touch operation is performed.
Here, the touch operation refers to an operation of contacting an object with respect to the touch operation input unit 26. The object that comes into contact with the touch operation input unit 26 is, for example, a user's finger or a touch pen.
The display unit 27 includes a display such as a liquid crystal display, and displays various images such as an image related to a game.
Thus, in this embodiment, the touch operation input unit 26 and the display unit 27 constitute a touch panel.

The input unit 28 is configured with various hardware buttons and the like, and inputs various information according to a user's instruction operation.
The storage unit 29 is configured by a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) or the like and stores various data.
The communication unit 30 controls communication with other devices (the server 2 and other user terminals 1 in the example of FIG. 1) via the network N including the Internet.

  The drive 31 is provided as necessary. A removable medium 41 composed of a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a semiconductor memory, or the like is appropriately attached to the drive 31. The program read from the removable medium 41 by the drive 31 is installed in the storage unit 29 as necessary. The removable medium 41 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 29 in the same manner as the storage unit 29.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the server 2 according to an embodiment of the information processing apparatus of the present invention in the information processing system of FIG.

The server 2 includes a CPU 51, a ROM 52, a RAM 53, a bus 54, an input / output interface 55, an output unit 56, an input unit 57, a storage unit 58, a communication unit 59, and a drive 60. .
Since the configuration of the server 2 is basically the same as the configuration excluding the touch panel of the user terminal 1, the description thereof is omitted here.

The game can be executed on the user terminal 1 by the cooperation of the various hardware and software of the user terminal 1 of FIG. 2 and the server 2 of FIG.
That is, the information processing system according to the present embodiment can execute various controls on a game in which a plurality of users can participate. In particular, the information processing system performs the following control as control (hereinafter referred to as “data sharing control”) for instantaneously sharing data relating to the game between users and different devices without performing special user authentication. Can be executed.

That is, the information processing system according to the present embodiment executes control for a game such as a card game or a miniature garden game (miniscape) in which a user designates a variety of specific states. The data here means data indicating a specific state of the game.
The specific state of the game means a state that is reproducible and arbitrarily designated by the user. For example, in the case of a card game, a card deck (hereinafter simply referred to as a deck) configured by a combination of a plurality of specific types of cards designated by the user is an example of a specific state.

The information processing system according to the present embodiment can easily share data designated by a user between different kinds of devices (different kinds of user terminals 1) through various media.
Codes are used to enable sharing of data specified by the user, i.e. data indicating a particular state of the game. Furthermore, in order to easily share the data among different devices through various media, it is preferable to use a shortened code that has been shortened and converted to a level that is easy for the user to remember.
However, the information processing system according to the present embodiment does not directly assign a shortened code to data that can be enormous types arbitrarily designated by the user (that is, a specific state of a game that can be enormous types). Then, an abbreviated code is assigned to the “connection” for performing access for designating the data. This “connection” is an access that the user terminal 1 (user) makes to the server 2 at an arbitrary timing, and is not permanent. That is, the number of user terminals 1 that are accessing the server 2 through the game application software (or from the end of the access to a predetermined period) is at most the number of registered users, which is a limited number compared to the type of data. Can be thought of as
The information processing system of the present embodiment can employ an extremely short shortened code of about 4 characters, for example, as a shortened code. Specifically, for example, even for complex data having a combination of 10 to the 1000th power (a specific state of the game), the data is uniquely identified by using an extremely short shortened code of about 4 characters. be able to.

That is, in the present embodiment, an identifier (hereinafter referred to as a “first identifier”) used when distributing data on various media (paper medium, SNS (Social Networking Service), wireless communication, etc.) is made independent. Thus, an identifier (hereinafter referred to as “second identifier”) used when reading the data into game application software (hereinafter referred to as “application software” as short as “application” or “application”), This is realized by an extremely short code of about 4 characters.
In this embodiment, a two-stage identifier management method that dynamically manages the correspondence between the first identifier and the second identifier is employed. As a result, it is possible to realize data distribution and input having both the ability to express information and the ease of input.

Specifically, for example, in the information processing system of the present embodiment, a unique first identifier is specified for data indicating a specific state that is reproducible and arbitrarily specified by the user. This first identifier has content-dependent uniqueness. Therefore, even if the data is specified by different users, the same first identifier is always specified for data indicating the same specific state in the same game application.
In other words, when the specific state in the game is different, a different first identifier is always specified.
The first identifier is information specified by a first identifier specifying unit (not shown). The first identifier specifying unit is information that uniquely indicates a specific state having reproducibility in a predetermined application by a specific algorithm designed to be applied to a predetermined application (game application in the present embodiment). 1 identifier is specified. Since the timing at which the first identifier is specified may be any timing, the first identifier specifying unit may additionally have a function of specifying and managing the first identifier. Further, the location of the first identifier specifying unit is not particularly limited. That is, the first identifier specifying unit may be provided in the server 2 or may be provided in another device that cooperates with the server 2.
Here, in the present embodiment, the first identifier for distribution is not used as it is, but the first identifier encoded in the URL character string, that is, the URL including the first identifier as a parameter is used. It is done.
That is, in this embodiment, browsing the data (a specific state of the game specified by the first identifier) existing in the URL with a Web browser or the like means that the specific state is specified. To do. A period in which access to the URL continues and a connection is established corresponds to a period in which a specific state is specified.
In addition, using URL as a 1st identifier is an example, and is not limited to this. Another example will be described later.

As described above, in order for the user to specify a specific state and browse the data indicating the specific state, the user terminal 1 is operated, and the first identifier corresponding to the specific state is set as a parameter. It is necessary to access the URL included in the URL and browse the data at the location of the URL with a predetermined Web browser or the like. Only during the period in which the designation of the specific state continues, that is, only during the period when the connection to the URL is established, in other words, a temporary identifier that is valid only during the period during which the data is being browsed is the second identifier. Generated as an identifier.
The second identifier is generated as a character string of about 4 characters, for example, and is presented to the user after being associated with the first identifier. As a result, the presented user or another user who is verbally transmitted from the user simply inputs the character string of about 4 characters in the game being executed, and the corresponding data, that is, Data indicating a specific state in which designation is continued can be acquired.

As described above, the number of types of data indicating a specific state of the game becomes a huge number of types according to a huge combination of each component of the data (for example, a card in the case of a card game). A first identifier having content-dependent uniqueness is assigned to such an enormous number of types of data.
In other words, the first identifier does not include specific user information (such as an ID or personal information for identifying the user) and depends only on the content of the data. Therefore, the first identifier is specified in the game. Are the same, all users access the same URL location.
Specifically, for example, in the case of a card game, the specific state of the game is a deck, but the same first identifier is always associated with the same deck configuration of different users. Therefore, sharing of game data according to the present embodiment does not require the use of information for identifying the user, and further does not require authentication by the user. Therefore, data can be shared without accessing the game server (server 2 in this embodiment) that manages user information. Since it is as above, according to the information processing system of this embodiment, even if it uses servers other than the game server which the third party who is not a game operator prepared, for example, it can realize easily.

On the other hand, the second identifier is assigned to an access (connection) using the first identifier, not a specific state of the game. Here, since the number of user terminals 1 that are simultaneously accessed among the plurality of user terminals 1 is overwhelmingly smaller than the number of types of specific states of the game, the second identifier has four characters as described above. It becomes feasible with a character string of about.
By managing the second identifier and the first identifier in association with each other, as a result, a huge combination of data indicating a specific state of the game is expressed as if it were an extremely short code (second identifier). Can do.
This makes it possible to realize data distribution and input that have both the ability to express information and ease of input. Further, even when data indicating a specific state of a game is shared, user authentication is not required.

The card game will be further described as an example. Among the data designated by the user in the card game, in particular, data called “deck” is data indicating a combination of a plurality of cards used in the game. It is the data which shows the state of.
By adopting the first identifier and second identifier linking method of the present embodiment, the same deck can be transmitted and received very easily between different users or between different devices even for the same user. It becomes possible.
Specifically, for example, the same user edits a deck registered on the smartphone (user terminal 2) without performing login or the like, using a personal computer (another user terminal 2) or the like, Temporary sharing between devices, such as instant reflection on smartphones, can be realized. Alternatively, it is possible to realize a temporary sharing process between the users such that the user immediately conveys his / her deck to another user (friend) in the place.

Specifically, for example, it is assumed that a card game in which a deck is configured by selecting 40 overlapping cards from 4,000 types of cards.
In such a card game, the number of combinations of cards is enormous, and the deck (game state) composed of 40 cards has an enormous number of types of 4000 ^ 40 (= 1.2 × 10 ^ 144). Will exist.
Therefore, when these vast kinds of decks are simply given identifiers that uniquely identify them, they are expressed as a combination of 64 characters including 144 digits, numbers, alphabets and some symbols when using integers. But an 80-digit identifier is required. Such identifiers expressed as long character strings are difficult for people to memorize on the spot, and cannot be used, for example, when communicating verbally between users or when announcing a deck to the audience at an event venue. .
On the other hand, in order to uniquely specify the deck designated by the user, an 80-digit identifier must be used. Therefore, in order to uniquely specify the deck designated by the user, this 80-digit identifier is adopted as the first identifier.
And it is associated with the first identifier so that the user can easily memorize it on the spot and use it when, for example, verbal communication between users or when the deck is announced to the audience at the event venue. A second identifier of about 4 digits is used.
This second identifier is valid only while the user accesses using the first identifier and continues browsing the deck associated with the first identification. That is, the second identifier is assigned to access by the user (viewing the deck associated with the first identifier).
Here, as described above, the number of users who play the game simultaneously is overwhelmingly smaller than the number of specific states in the game. For this reason, an extremely short identifier of about 4 digits can be adopted as the second identifier.

In addition, the user not only shares the deck with other users, but also performs a process such as login, and the registered deck on the smartphone (first user terminal 1) is a personal computer (second user). There is a case where it is desired to temporarily share a deck between devices, which is edited at the terminal 1) and immediately reflected on the smartphone.
Such sharing can be easily realized by dynamically linking the first identifier and the second identifier. That is, even if one user performs registration processing thousands of times for exchange between devices, it is possible to realize scalability that the number of identifiers is not insufficient.

Further, the sharing of such game data will be described below with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of a method of sharing deck information between users and different devices using an identifier that can be transmitted verbally.

The information processing system according to the present embodiment includes a first identifier that can permanently identify a specific state designated by the user among various situations in the game, and access to the server 2 using the first identifier (specific state Executes scalable two-stage identifier management that dynamically associates a second identifier that can be temporarily identified). As a result, from the viewpoint of the user, only the second identifier having an extremely small amount of information of about four characters is used, and the specific state designated by the user is selected from various specific states in the game of a huge number of combinations. It is possible to identify and transfer data that can reproduce the specific state between different types of devices and between users.
Here, scalable two-stage identifier management means that even when the number of specific states in a game becomes a huge number, the number of digits of the second identifier input by the user does not increase, and other users or This means that the number of digits of the second identifier input by the user does not increase even when the number of data registration processes for transferring data to other devices becomes enormous.

Shown in the upper part of FIG. 4 is a specific state in the game. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 4, a card deck used in a card game is shown.
Shown in the middle of FIG. 4 is a first identifier that can permanently identify a specific state in the game. As shown in FIG. 4, the specific states in the game are different from left to right in the drawing, and a first identifier is assigned to each of the specific states in the different games.
The lower part of FIG. 4 shows the second identifier corresponding to the first identifier shown in the middle part. Each time there is an access using the first identifier (in this case, accessing a URL including the first identifier), it is valid only for the session period (a period in which a specific state corresponding to the first identifier is specified by the user). A second identifier is generated.

Hereinafter, the first identifier and the second identifier will be described in detail.
The first identifier is a permanently unique identifier that can identify a huge variety of specific states of the game. Since the first identifier can always permanently identify data indicating a specific state in a specific game application, the first identifier can be via a paper medium such as a magazine or a network service such as SNS. Suitable for data distribution purposes. Furthermore, by expressing the first identifier as a URL, the first identifier can be distributed using the mechanism for distributing the existing URL as it is.
The second identifier is represented by a character string as short as about 4 characters, and is suitable for use in transferring data from a predetermined user terminal 1 to another user terminal 1 that is immediately executing a game. Yes. In the present embodiment, the second identifier is dynamically generated every time there is an access using the first identifier.
That is, when the user terminal 1 accesses using the first identifier (for example, accesses a URL including the first identifier as will be described later), a specific state of the game corresponding to the first identifier (for example, deck information). Can be viewed by the user. At this time, the server 2 assigns a second identifier to the session by the access (specific state designation) and associates it with the first identifier corresponding to the specific state. When this second identifier is input to another user terminal 1, a specific state (deck) corresponding to the first identifier associated with the second identifier is acquired.

In order to execute the game data sharing control described with reference to FIG. 4, the user terminal 1 in FIG. 2 and the server 2 in FIG. 3 have a functional configuration as shown in FIG.
FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example for executing game data sharing control among the functional configurations of the user terminal 1-1, the user terminal 1-2, and the server 2.
Note that the user terminal 1-1 and the user terminal 1-2 are selected for convenience, and the functional block of the user terminal 1-1 and the functional block of the user terminal 1-2 shown in FIG. It functions in all user terminals 1.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, in the CPU 51 of the server 2, the reception unit 101, the state monitoring unit 102, the second identifier generation unit 103, the association management unit 104, the display control unit 105, and the state reproduction unit 106. And function.
In addition, in the storage unit 58 of the server 2, an association management DB 111 is provided.

The receiving unit 101 receives an access using a first identifier uniquely associated with a specific state from the access unit 122 of the user terminal 1-1.
Here, the access method using the first identifier is not particularly limited as long as the first identifier is used, but in the present embodiment, a method of accessing the URL including the first identifier is employed. Hereinafter, this method will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a first identifier specifying method and a URL generation method using the first identifier.
In the example of FIG. 6, a game is assumed in which a set of 40 cards selected from 10,000 kinds of cards is organized as a deck (a specific state of a designated game). In FIG. 6, one card is drawn as a box with numbers inside. The numbers in the boxes (cards) are the serial numbers of the cards and, of course, are not necessarily printed on the actual cards.
The serial number of the card shown in FIG. 6 is expressed as a combination of 64 characters “01234456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-_”, and each card can be embedded in a URL by separating each card with a dot symbol “.”. Can be used to express the entire deck.
The character string shown at the bottom of the box in FIG. 6 is a character string obtained by encoding the contents of the deck by 64 bits. An expanded version of this URL is shown below the arrow in FIG. In the present embodiment, this URL can be shared and spread through SNS.

Returning to FIG. 5, the state monitoring unit 102 monitors whether or not the designation of a specific state continues in the user terminal 1-1 that has accessed using the first identifier.
As described above, the specification of the specific state in the user terminal 1-1 is performed so that the server 2 can be monitored. That is, when access using the first identifier has been made from the user terminal 1-1, the state monitoring unit 102 starts monitoring that a specific state corresponding to the first identifier has been designated. .
Here, the method for determining the continuation of designation of a specific state can employ various methods using network communication technology, and is not particularly limited. For example, a method may be employed in which it is determined that the designation of a specific state continues while the network connection from the user terminal 1-1 is continued. Here, the network connection refers to a broad concept including not only physical communication connection but also logical communication connection. Here, logical communication connection means that even if the physical communication connection is temporarily disconnected, a specific terminal continuously accesses the server by using a technology such as a cookie or a token. This means that the server recognizes this. In addition, for example, a method is adopted in which a ping request is periodically transmitted to the user terminal 1-1 and a response is determined not to be interrupted or until a certain time elapses after the response is interrupted. Also good. In addition, for example, a ping message is periodically transmitted from the user terminal 1-1 to the server 2, and it is determined that the specified state is continued while the transmission is not interrupted or until a certain time elapses after the interruption. A technique may be adopted.

  The second identifier generation unit 103 generates a second identifier when an access using the first identifier by the user terminal 1-1 is received by the reception unit 101.

The association management unit 104 generates a first identifier corresponding to the specific state in a period during which the designation of the specific state is continued in the user terminal 1-1 or in a predetermined period after the period ends. When the association with the second identifier is managed, and thereafter the end of designation of a specific state or the elapse of a predetermined period from the end is monitored in the user terminal 1-1, the first identifier and the second identifier Discard the association with.
Specifically, the association management unit 104 obtains the second identifier generated by the second identifier generation unit 103 and the first identifier used in the access accepted when the second identifier is generated. The association between the first identifier and the second identifier is managed by registering in the management DB 111 in association with each other.
Thereafter, the association management unit 104 associates and manages registration of the first identifier and the second identifier when the user terminal 1-1 monitors the end of designation of a specific state or the elapse of a predetermined period from the end. By deleting from the DB 111, the association between the first identifier and the second identifier is discarded. That is, the second identifier becomes invalid.

  The display control unit 105 performs control to display the second identifier generated by the second identifier generation unit 103 on the user terminal 1-1 that has accessed using the first identifier.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an implementation example of displaying the first identifier and the second identifier displayed on the user terminal 1.
As shown in the upper part of FIG. 7, when a user operating the user terminal 1-1 generates a deck, the configuration of the deck is displayed and a first identifier is displayed below the deck.
Access using this first identifier (access to a URL including the first identifier) is made, and as a result, the server 2 generates, for example, a second identifier “tr0n” as described above, and the first identifier and When associated with each other, the second identifier “tr0n” is displayed in the right box labeled “Code:” at the bottom of FIG. 7 under the control of the display control unit 105 of the server 2.
This second identifier is displayed while the deck of FIG. 7 is designated by the user operating the user terminal 1-1, that is, in this example, the screen of FIG. 7 is displayed on the user terminal 1-1 and viewed by the user. It is effective while being done.
Specifically, the remaining effective time of the second identifier is displayed as an animation by a circle at the bottom of FIG. If the user terminal 1-1 continues to open the screen of FIG. 7, the expiration date of the second identifier is automatically updated. Note that the determination as to whether or not the screen is continuously opened is made based on the above-described determination of the continuation of the specific state designation.

For example, the user operating the user terminal 1-1 inputs the second identifier “tr0n” on a website for performing a predetermined application program or deck building using the user terminal 1-2 which is a different device. be able to.
Alternatively, for example, another user who has received the second identifier verbally or the like from a user operating the user terminal 1-1 uses the user terminal 1-2 operated by the user to execute a predetermined application program or deck building. The second identifier “tr0n” can be input on the website to be performed.

Returning to FIG. 5, when the second identifier is input by the user terminal 1-2 in this way, the second identifier is notified to the state reproduction unit 106 of the server.
Therefore, the state reproduction unit 106 executes control for enabling the user terminal 1-2 to reproduce the specific state corresponding to the first identifier associated with the second identifier.
Specifically, for example, referring to the example of FIG. 7, the state reproduction unit 106 has information on the deck identified by the first identifier associated with the second identifier (the same as the deck displayed in the screen information of FIG. 7). Deck information) is reproduced and displayed on the user terminal 1-2.

  In this way, a short second identifier of about four digits such as “tr0n” can be used as a key for sharing a specific state (deck configuration) of a game between users or devices. As a result, exchange of complicated information such as the structure of the deck can be realized very easily.

The outline of the functional configuration of the user terminal 1-1 and the user terminal 1-2 will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 5, in the CPU 21 of the user terminal 1-1, a state designation release unit 121, an access unit 122, and a display control unit 123 function.

The state designation cancellation unit 121 performs designation or cancellation of a specific state.
Specifically, when the user designates a certain state through the touch panel of the user terminal 1-1 (for example, when a deck is generated or selected), the state designation cancellation unit 121 accepts the designation and designates the specified state. Is displayed on the touch panel via the following display control unit 123 and is stored in the storage unit 29 of the user terminal 1-1 and the storage unit 58 of the server 2. In addition, the user can read a state specified in the past (for example, a generated deck) from, for example, the storage unit 29 or the storage unit 58 and newly specify the state. In this case, the state designation canceling unit 121 accepts the designation, and displays the designated specific state on the touch panel via the display control unit 123 described below.
When a specific state is designated, access using the first identifier corresponding to the specific state is performed by the following access unit 122. As a result, the server 2 recognizes that designation of a specific state has started.
Thereafter, the state designation cancellation unit 121 cancels the designation of a specific state in a form that can be recognized on the server 2 side.
This specific state designation release (termination) method may be a method that can be recognized on the server 2 side, that is, a method that matches the specific state designation termination determination method employed on the server 2 side.
For example, when the server 2 side adopts a technique for determining that the designation of a specific state is terminated by disconnecting the network connection, the state designation canceling unit 121 identifies the specific state by cutting the network connection with the server 2. Cancel the specification of the status.
Further, for example, a method is adopted on the server 2 side in which a ping request is periodically transmitted to the user terminal 1-1 and a certain time has elapsed since the response is interrupted, so that the end of designation of a specific state is determined. In this case, the state designation cancellation unit 121 generates a response to the ping request when continuing to specify a specific state, and executes a process for prohibiting the generation of a response when canceling the specific state.

When a specific state is designated, the access unit 122 executes control to perform access using the first identifier corresponding to the specific state.
When a specific state is designated as described above, the display control unit 123 displays the specific state (a first identifier if necessary) on the touch panel, and a second identifier corresponding to the first identifier is displayed. When it is generated and notified by the server 2, control for displaying the second identifier on the touch panel is executed. That is, the display control unit 123 executes control for displaying a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the touch panel, for example.

  The outline of the functional configuration of the user terminal 1-1 has been described above. Next, an outline of a functional configuration of the user terminal 1-2 will be described.

  In the CPU 21 of the user terminal 1-2, the second identifier input receiving unit 131, the notification control execution unit 132, and the browsing control execution unit 133 function.

The second identifier input receiving unit 131 is a second identifier displayed on the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1-1, and is a user who operates the user terminal 1-2 (even if it is the same person as the user terminal 1-1). The second identifier input by the touch panel or the like is accepted.
Here, it is assumed that the user of the user terminal 1-1 is User-A and the user of the user terminal 1-2 is a different user User-B, and is displayed on the user terminal 1-1 with reference to FIG. The correspondence relationship between the two identifiers and the second identifier input to the user terminal 1-2 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state in which User-A verbally notifies the second identifier, and User-B shares information on the User-A deck.
As shown in FIG. 8, User-A verbally notifies User-B of the second identifier “tr0n” in order to reproduce his / her own deck on the User-B side.
Here, the second identifier “tr0n” uses the first identifier corresponding to the deck when the user terminal 1-1 owned by User-A displays the deck (when a specific state is designated). As a result of access, it is generated by the server 2 and displayed on the user terminal 1-1 (see FIG. 7).
The second identifier “tr0n” continues to be validated and managed as long as the deck information is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1-1 (that is, as long as the specified state continues).
User-B that has been verbally transmitted with the second identifier “tr0n” inputs the second identifier “tr0n” using the touch panel of the user terminal 1-2 or the like.

Returning to FIG. 5, the second identifier input receiving unit 131 of the user terminal 1-2 receives the input second identifier “tr0n”.
The notification control execution unit 132 executes control for notifying the server 2 of the second identifier input by the second identifier input receiving unit 131, for example, “tr0n” in the example of FIG.
Then, as described above, the state reproduction unit 106 of the server 2 performs the specific state (in the example of FIG. 8) corresponding to the first identifier associated with the second identifier (“tr0n” in the example of FIG. 8). , Control for enabling reproduction of the deck information illustrated in FIG.
The browsing control execution unit 133 controls the specific state (corresponding to the first identifier associated with the second identifier (“tr0n” in the example of FIG. 8)) under the control of the state reproduction unit 106 of the server 2. In the example of FIG. 8, control is performed to allow the user (User-B in the example of FIG. 8) to browse the deck information illustrated in FIG. 8.

In this way, the pairing process between User-A and User-B (for example, becoming a friend in the game) or the pairing process between the two user terminals 1 can be transmitted verbally. The deck information can be shared only by notifying the second identifier which is a character string (in this case, “tr0n”).
That is, in this embodiment, a shortened code is not assigned to deck information, but a universal and permanent first identifier is assigned to deck information itself. Then, a second identifier such as a short character string is generated on the condition that access using the permanent first identifier is made, and the first identifier and the second identifier are associated with each other. As a result, from the user's standpoint, it is possible to transmit deck information as a result only by transmitting a short character string or the like of the second identifier with only verbal pronunciation.
Mathematically, for example, when 40 4,000 cards are combined, there are 4,000 ^ 40 (= 1.2 × 10 ^ 144) variations, which are expressed only by a 4-character code. I can't.
However, the number of users who can simultaneously connect to these variations has a certain upper limit and is about several hundred thousand, so 4 alphanumeric characters that can represent 1,679,616 combinations are used. By expressing it as the second identifier, as a result, it is possible to transmit information on a 40-card set arbitrarily selected from 4,000 cards.

Heretofore, the functional configurations of the user terminal 1-1, the user terminal 1-2, and the server 2 for realizing the game data sharing control have been described.
Next, a flow of game data sharing from the user side of the user terminal 1-1 and the user terminal 1-2 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a procedure for accessing information on a user's deck.
Note that the user terminal 1-1 and the user terminal 1-2 may be different terminals (for example, a smartphone and a personal computer) owned by the same user, or may be different terminals owned by different users.
As a first procedure, the user operates the user terminal 1-1 to acquire the first identifier from the SNS, or from the game save data if it is the first identifier of its own deck. And a user browses the deck (specific state in a game) uniquely matched with a 1st identifier through the web browser and game application which are displayed on the touch panel etc. of the user terminal 1-1.
As a second procedure, browsing a game deck (specific state) through a web browser or game application is effective only while the browsing action continues (for example, while a network connection is established). Since the second identifier (here “tr0n”) is displayed on the touch panel of the user terminal 1-1, the user visually recognizes the displayed second identifier (here “tr0n”).
As a third procedure, the user inputs the second identifier (here, “tr0n”) displayed on the user terminal 1-1 using the touch panel of the user terminal 1-2 or the like. Here, if the user is a different person, the user who performs the third procedure (second user) receives the second identifier (here, “tr0n”) from the user (first user) visually recognized in the second procedure. ) Verbally in advance.
As a fourth procedure, the server 2 receives the third procedure and the specific state in the game of the first identifier corresponding to the second identifier (“tr0n” in this case) input in the third procedure is the user. Reproduced on the terminal 1-2. In this way, the user can access the information on the deck corresponding to the first identifier acquired in the first procedure.
When the browsing of the deck by the user terminal 1-1 is finished (when the instruction of a specific state in the game is canceled), the association between the second identifier (here, “tr0n”) and the first identifier is discarded. Is done.

Next, the utilization on SNS of this embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of sharing deck information on the SNS.
As shown on the left side of FIG. 10, a URL including a first identifier and information on a deck (a specific state in the game) are displayed on an OGP (Open Graph Protocol) on the first SNS. The user of the first SNS can access the deck (specific state in the game) associated with the first identifier by clicking on the URL on the OGP.
Also, as shown on the right side of FIG. 10, rectangular buttons and decks are displayed on the OGP on the second SNS. This rectangular button is associated with the URL including the first identifier, and the user of the second SNS clicks the rectangular button on the OGP, thereby the deck (in-game) associated with the first identifier. Specific state).
Such processing can be performed not only by the first identifier in the system of the present embodiment but also by an identifier that can be embedded in the URL, and the distribution of wide-area deck information through the SNS. This is because the identifier is suitable for.
As a result, the Web page described in accordance with the SNS OGP format can be converted into thumbnails as shown in FIG. 10 to spread the deck information.

Next, the flow of the game data sharing process executed by the user terminal 1-1, the user terminal 1-2, and the server 2 having the functional configuration as shown in FIG. 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 11 is an arrow chart showing the flow of the game data sharing process of the user terminal 1-1, the user terminal 1-2, and the server 2.

In step S1, the state designation release unit 121 of the user terminal 1-1 designates a specific state.
In step S2, the access unit 122 of the user terminal 1-1 performs access using the first identifier corresponding to the specific state.

In step S20, the reception unit 101 of the server 2 receives an access using the first identifier from the user terminal 1-1.
In step S21, the state monitoring unit 102 of the server 2 recognizes the first identifier based on the access in step S20.
In step S22, the second identifier generation unit 103 of the server 2 generates a second identifier.
In step S23, the association management unit 104 of the server 2 associates the first identifier recognized in step S21 with the second identifier generated in step S22.
In step S24, the display control unit 105 of the server 2 notifies the user terminal 1-1 of the second identifier generated in step S22.

In step S3, the display control unit 123 of the user terminal 1-1 displays the second identifier notified from the server 2 in step S24 on the touch panel.
Here, the second identifier displayed on the touch panel of the user terminal 1-1 is transmitted to the user who operates the user terminal 1-2.
Here, if the user of the user terminal 1-1 and the user terminal 1-2 is the same person, “transmitted” means storing in the head of the user. When the users of the user terminal 1-1 and the user terminal 1-2 are different people, “transmitted” means transmitted verbally or the like.

In step S31, the second identifier input receiving unit 131 of the user terminal 1-2 receives the input of the second identifier.
In step S32, the notification control execution unit 132 of the user terminal 1-2 notifies the server 2 of the second identifier accepted in step S31.

In step S25, the state reproduction unit 106 of the server 2 recognizes the second identifier notified in step S32.
In step S26, the state reproduction unit 106 recognizes the first identifier corresponding to the second identifier recognized in step S25.
In step S27, the state reproduction unit 106 executes control for reproducing the specific state corresponding to the first identifier recognized in step S26 on the user terminal 1-2.
That is, in step S33, the browsing control execution unit 133 of the user terminal 1-2 receives the control in step S27 and executes control for causing the user of the user terminal 1-2 to browse a specific state.

  When the state designation cancellation unit 121 of the user terminal 1-1 cancels the specific state in step S4, the association management unit 104 of the server 2 determines the first identifier and the second identifier in step S28. Discard the association with.

  Next, an implementation example in a case where information of a plurality of decks (that is, a plurality of specific states) is displayed in one Web page by the SNS or the like of the present embodiment will be described.

For example, an online form displayed in a Web page, a Web bulletin board, SNS, or the like can be posted including information on a plurality of decks in a Web page identified by one URL.
When information on a plurality of decks is included in one web page, it is difficult to specify which deck information is designated (displayed) only from the URL of the web page. is there. Therefore, for example, by using a JavaScript (registered trademark) code associated with each display of information of a plurality of decks, it is specified which deck information of the plurality of deck information is designated (displayed). Then, the code generated based on the information on the specified deck is transmitted to the server as the first identification to associate with the second identifier, and the information on the identified deck and the second identifier are displayed in association with each other. A method is proposed.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an implementation example when information P of a plurality of decks is displayed on the forum, bulletin board, and SNS in the present embodiment.
FIG. 12A is a diagram illustrating an example of information P of a plurality of decks to be displayed in a forum, a bulletin board, and an SNS.
FIG. 12B is a diagram illustrating a part of the deck information P displayed on the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1.
The deck information P in FIG. 12 includes one predetermined deck (a specific state of the game) and a first identifier (URL including the first identifier) corresponding to the deck. In this embodiment, information P of four selected decks among the information P of the plurality of decks in FIG. 12A is displayed in each of the display areas P1 to P4 of the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1. Is done.
That is, as shown in FIG. 12A, the information P of a plurality of decks are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, and the information P of four decks is selected among them, and the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1 is selected. Are displayed in each of the display areas P1 to P4.
For example, when the range RG1 in FIG. 12A is selected, the information P of the four decks included in the range RG1 is displayed on each of the display areas P1 to P4 of the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1. Is done.
Here, when the user wants to select the range RG <b> 2 in FIG. 12A, a scroll operation may be performed on the display unit 27 (touch panel) of the user terminal 1.
When the range RG2 in FIG. 12A is selected by scrolling, the information P of the four decks included in the range RG2 is displayed in each of the display areas P1 to P4 of the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1. The
That is, the information P of the deck displayed in each of the display areas P1 to P4 of the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1 is also changed by the scroll operation.

An implementation example will be described below.
As shown in FIG. 12A, in an online form, a bulletin board, and an SNS that can share deck information P, deck information P between users is arranged vertically long in one page. In such a forum, since a large amount of deck information P is posted in a page identified by one URL, a conventional method such as a shortened URL cannot be used.
In this embodiment, since the expiration date of the second identifier is managed according to whether the user is browsing the information (whether a specific state of the game is instructed), for example, it is specified by one URL. The present invention can also be applied to a case where information P of a plurality of decks is posted in one Web page.

Specifically, by using the function of the Web browser installed in the user terminal 1-1 shown in FIG. 5, the range currently displayed on the user terminal 1-1 side (the display range in the example of FIG. 12). HTML elements in RG1, RG2) can be extracted.
At this time, the user terminal 1-1 accesses the server 2 and transmits the deck information P included in the HTML element displayed by the display control unit 123 to the reception unit 101. Here, the deck information P is information corresponding to the first identifier, and in this embodiment, the information obtained by converting the first identifier into a format that can be applied to an HTML element (a format that can be embedded in HTML). It is. The deck information P as the first identifier is information specified by a first identifier specifying unit (not shown), but in the present embodiment, a plurality of first identifiers (deck information P) are included in the HTML element of the Web page. Is included.
When the server 2 accepts access, the second identifier generation unit 103 generates a second identifier, and the association management unit 104 associates the first identifier with the second identifier.
Then, the user terminal 1-1 acquires the second identifier of the deck information P from the server 2 and displays it on the screen.

In addition, the Web browser displays the scroll amount of the screen by the user as scrollTop (the distance between the upper left of the window and the upper part of the page) scrollTop and the right scroll amount (upper left of the window and the page). It has a function of acquiring as scrollLeft, which is the distance at the left end.
By using this function, the state monitoring unit 102 shown in FIG. 5 periodically checks the change in this value, so which range is displayed in FIG. 12A (for example, the range RG1). Or the range RG2) can be detected. When the state monitoring unit 102 detects that the display range has been changed, the state monitoring unit 102 determines whether or not deck information P within the display range is displayed on the screen, and the decks included in the display range are determined. The information P (or the first identifier generated from the deck information P) is transmitted to the server 2, the second identifier corresponding to the deck information P is acquired from the server 2, and displayed in association with the deck information P. can do.
Here, the Web browser has a function as a display information extraction unit (not shown) defined by, for example, JavaScript (registered trademark). As described above, the display information extraction unit is means for extracting the information P of the deck within the predetermined display range from the HTML element indicating the content displayed on the user terminal 1-1. The size (or width) of the range (that is, the extraction range) is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately designed. The size of the display range is preferably designed so as to match the display screen of the user terminal 1-1 as in the range RG1 in FIG. 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. Further, for example, the entire Web page specified by a certain URL may be regarded as a display range, and the display information extraction unit may extract deck information P using all HTML elements included in this Web page as the extraction range. .
That is, for example, when information P of a plurality of decks included in the display range of FIG. 12A is extracted by the display information extraction unit, the server 2 has a plurality of second information corresponding to the information P of each deck. One identifier is acquired, and each of the acquired first identifiers is associated with a second identifier. And the 2nd identifier matched with the information P of each deck is displayed on the display part 27 of the user terminal 1-1.
Further, for example, even when the information P of a plurality of decks is extracted from the display range by the display information extraction unit, the server 2 is configured to correspond to the information P of the deck closest to the center in the selection range. Only two identifiers can be displayed on the display unit 27 of the user terminal 1-1.
In other words, after the change of the display range is detected, the deck information P is extracted from the HTML elements in the selected range by the display information extraction unit, so that the specific state of the game corresponding to the information P of the deck Is specified, and access using the first identifier corresponding to the specific state is made.

  Note that the description of the reproduction of the specific state of the game on the user terminal 1-2 is the same as described above, and is therefore omitted.

Further, the server 2 may invalidate the second identifier corresponding to the information P of the deck outside the display range.
That is, when the state monitoring unit 102 shown in FIG. 5 detects that the display range has been changed, the state monitoring unit 102 cooperates with the association management unit 104 and the association management DB 111 to change the information P of the deck out of the display range. The association between the corresponding first identifier and the second identifier associated with the first identifier is canceled, information is discarded from the association management DB 111, and the management is completed. However, the abandonment of the association may be performed when it is out of the display range, or may be performed after the elapse of a predetermined period after it is out of the display range.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, and the like within the scope that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

For example, the above-described embodiment is intended for sharing of card game data.
However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and can be applied to data sharing in general between devices. That is, the present invention is not limited to games, and can be widely applied to data sharing between users and devices.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the first identifier included in the URL is used as an example, but is not particularly limited thereto.
That is, as described above, the first identifier may be a permanently unique identifier that can identify a vast specific state of data. Therefore, it can be applied to various identifiers such as a one-dimensional code and a two-dimensional code.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the second identifier is a four-digit number or uppercase / lowercase alphabet as an example, but is not particularly limited thereto.
That is, as described above, the second identifier may be an identifier having temporary uniqueness that can identify the browsing action of the user from the simultaneous access session when the user browses the data. Therefore, for example, it is not necessary to have 4 digits, and it may be a permanent short identifier using a printed matter or the like by combining with a symbol. Specifically, when starting with a press symbol, such as “+ 5t7”, an identifier that is not invalidated may be used.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the description has been given using the game process. It's enough.

Further, for example, the functional configuration of FIG. 5 is merely an example, and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient that the information processing apparatus has a function capable of executing the above-described series of processes as a whole, and what functional block is used to realize this function is not particularly limited to the example of FIG. Further, the location of the functional block is not particularly limited to that shown in FIG. For example, the functional block of the server 2 may be transferred to the user terminal 1 or the like, and conversely, the functional block of the user terminal 1 may be transferred to the server 2 or the like.
In addition, one functional block may be constituted by hardware alone, software alone, or a combination thereof.

When the processing of each functional block is executed by software, a program constituting the software is installed on a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium.
The computer may be a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware. The computer may be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, for example, a general-purpose smartphone or personal computer other than a server.

  The recording medium including such a program is not only constituted by a removable medium (not shown) distributed separately from the apparatus main body in order to provide the user with the program, but is also provided to the user in a state of being pre-installed in the apparatus main body. It is composed of a provided recording medium or the like.

In the present specification, the step of describing the program recorded on the recording medium is not limited to the processing performed in time series along the order, but is not necessarily performed in time series, either in parallel or individually. The process to be executed is also included.
Further, in the present specification, the term “system” means an overall apparatus configured by a plurality of devices, a plurality of means, and the like.

In other words, the information processing program to which the present invention is applied can take various embodiments having the following configuration including the information processing system as the embodiment of FIG. 5 described above.
That is, an information processing program to which the present invention is applied is

A state reproduction step (for example, a step executed by the state reproduction unit 106 in FIG. 5) for executing control for making the specific state reproducible by the second terminal;
A program that executes control processing including

In this way, a technique for immediately sharing data indicating a specific state between users and devices is established.
In other words, the first identifier used when data is distributed on various media and the second identifier used when the data is read into the application are made independent, and the two stages of dynamically managing the correspondence between these two identifiers By adopting the identifier management method, data distribution / input having both the ability to express information and ease of input is realized.
Here, the number of users browsing the data is overwhelmingly smaller than the number of specific states in the data.
Therefore, one user can interact with each other by dynamically associating a first identifier that identifies a specific state in the data with a second identifier that identifies an act of viewing the specific state. Even if the registration process is performed thousands of times, the scalability that the number of identifiers is not insufficient is realized.
As a result, the present invention performs a temporary sharing process between devices, in which data registered on the device is edited by a different device without immediately performing a login process or the like, and the data is immediately reflected on the device. Can be realized.

The accepting step may include a step of accepting an access using a URL including the first identifier as an element as an access using the first identifier.
As a result, a mechanism for distributing existing URLs via a paper medium such as a magazine or a network service such as SNS can be used as it is.

The generating step may include a step of generating an identifier having a smaller information amount than the first identifier as the second identifier.
As a result, the generated second identifier is short and simple, so it is possible to communicate verbally between users, share data with an unspecified number of users, and immediately send data to unfamiliar users. Can be shared.
In addition, even when the number of specific states in the data becomes enormous, the number of data registration processes for transferring data to different users or different devices without increasing the number of identifiers entered by the user The number of identifiers input by the user does not increase even when the number of items increases.
