  The audio processing unit 160 performs modulation / demodulation of the audio signal. The audio processing unit 160 modulates the signal given from the microphone 170 and gives the modulated signal to the control unit 190. In addition, the audio processing unit 160 provides an audio signal to the speaker 180. The sound processing unit 160 is realized by, for example, a sound processing processor. The microphone 170 functions as an audio input unit for receiving an input of an audio signal and outputting it to the control unit 190. The speaker 180 functions as an audio output unit for outputting an audio signal to the outside of the mobile terminal 10.

  The control unit 190 controls the operation of the mobile terminal 10 by reading and executing a program stored in the storage unit 150. The control unit 190 is realized by an application processor, for example.

  A process in which the mobile terminal 10 executes the game program 151 will be described in more detail. In one aspect, the storage unit 150 stores a game program 151, game information 152, and user information 153. For example, the mobile terminal 10 downloads a game program from the server 20 and stores the game program in the storage unit 150. Moreover, the portable terminal 10 transmits / receives various data, such as game information 152 and user information 153, with the server 20 by communicating with the server 20 with progress of a game.

  The game program 151 is a program for causing the mobile terminal 10 to advance a game. The game information 152 includes various data referred to by the game program 151. The game information 152 includes, for example, information on objects to be arranged in the virtual space in the game, information on effects associated with the objects (including information on skills set for game characters), and the like. The user information 153 includes information about the user who plays the game. The user information 153 includes, for example, information for identifying the user of the mobile terminal 10 playing the game, information for identifying other users who play the game in cooperation with the multiplayer, and other information.

  The control unit 190 reads and executes the game program 151 to thereby execute an input operation receiving unit 191, a game progress processing unit 192, a moving operation detection unit 193, a camera arrangement control unit 194, an object control unit 195, Each function of the display control unit 196 is exhibited.

  The input operation accepting unit 191 accepts a user input operation based on the output of the touch screen 130. Specifically, the input operation accepting unit 191 detects that a user's finger or the like has approached the touch panel 131 as coordinates in a coordinate system including a horizontal axis and a vertical axis of a surface constituting the touch screen 130.

  The input operation reception unit 191 determines a user operation on the touch screen 130. The input operation accepting unit 191 includes, for example, (1) “approach operation”, (2) “release operation”, (3) “tap operation”, (4) “double tap operation”, (5) “long press operation ( (Long touch operation) ”, (6)“ drag operation (swipe operation) ”, (7)“ move operation ”, (8)“ flick operation ”, and other user operations. The user operation determined by the input operation receiving unit 191 is not limited to the above. For example, when the touch panel 131 has a mechanism that can detect the magnitude of the pressure that the user presses against the touch panel 131, the input operation reception unit 191 determines the magnitude of the pressure that the user has pressed. In addition, the control unit 190 determines that the state of detecting the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 130 is the “touch-on state”. The control unit 190 determines that a state in which the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 130 is not detected is a “touch-off state”. The control unit 190 accepts coordinates indicating the approach position of the user's finger or the like sequentially output by the touch screen 130 as “touch now” coordinates.

  Here, (1) “approach operation” is an operation in which the user brings a finger or the like closer to the touch screen 130. The touch screen 130 detects that the user's finger or the like has approached (including that the user's finger or the like has touched the touch screen 130) by the touch panel 131, and outputs a signal corresponding to the detected coordinates of the touch screen 130 to the control unit. Output to 190. The control unit 190 determines that the state is the “touch-on state” when the approach is detected from the state in which the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 130 is not detected.

  (2) “Release operation” is an operation for stopping a state in which the user operates by bringing a finger or the like closer to the touch screen 130. For example, when the user performs an operation of releasing his / her finger from a state where the user touches the touch screen 130 with the finger or the like, the input operation receiving unit 191 determines that the user's operation is a “release operation”. The control unit 190 determines that the state is changed from the “touch-on state” to the “touch-off state” when the approach is not detected from the state in which the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 130 is detected. To do.

  (3) “Tap operation” refers to performing a release operation at a position where the user performs an approach operation after the user performs an approach operation to bring a finger or the like closer to the touch screen 130. The input operation reception unit 191 outputs the touch screen 130 from the state where the approach operation is not detected (the user's finger or the like is away from the touch panel 131 and the touch panel 131 does not detect the approach of the user's finger or the like). Based on this, when it is detected that the user's finger or the like has approached, the detected coordinates are held as the “initial touch position”. The input operation reception unit 191 determines that the coordinates of the initial touch position and the coordinates detected by the touch screen 130 immediately before the release operation (just before the touch-off state is detected) are substantially the same (the approach operation is performed). The user's operation is determined as a “tap operation” when a coordinate related to the release operation is detected in coordinates within a certain range from the detected coordinates).

  (4) The “double tap operation” is an operation in which the user performs the tap operation twice within a predetermined time. For example, the input operation reception unit 191 determines that the user operation is “double tap operation” when the user operation is determined to be the tap operation and the tap operation is determined again with the coordinates related to the tap operation within a certain time after the user operation is determined to be the tap operation. Determine.

  (5) “Long press operation” is an operation in which the user continues to press the touch screen 130. The touch screen 130 detects the user's operation and discriminates the approaching operation. When the time during which the approaching operation continues at the coordinates where the approaching operation is detected exceeds a certain time, the touch screen 130 determines the user's operation as “ “Long press operation” (the “long press operation” may be referred to as “long touch operation”).

  (6) “Drag operation” is an operation of sliding a finger while maintaining an approaching state in which the user brings a finger or the like close to the touch screen 130.

  (7) “Move operation” refers to a series of operations in which the user performs a release operation by moving a position where a finger or the like is approaching the touch screen 130 while maintaining the approach operation on the touch screen 130.

  (8) “Flick operation” refers to an operation in which a user performs a move operation in a time shorter than a predetermined time. The flick operation is an operation in which the user flips a finger on the touch screen 130. For example, the control unit 190 holds a plurality of threshold values for comparison with the time for the user to perform the move operation, and the time until the user moves the finger or the like on the touch screen 130 for a certain distance is determined. If it is shorter than the threshold value 1 (if the finger is flicked relatively quickly), it is determined that the flick operation is “strong flick”, and the second threshold value (the second threshold value is set to the first threshold value greater than the first threshold value). It is also possible to determine that the flick operation is “weak flick” when the value is smaller than the threshold value of 1.

  The game progress processing unit 192 performs a process of advancing the game by calling various programs in accordance with a user operation. For example, the game progress processing unit 192 communicates with the server 20 to transmit data to the server 20 according to the progress of the game, to receive data related to the game from the server 20, and to the user according to the progress of the game. A process for giving a reward, a process for measuring the passage of time, and other processes are performed.

  The movement operation detection unit 193 detects the operation content of the input operation for moving a character appearing in the game (hereinafter also referred to as “game character”) based on a user input operation on the touch screen 130. For example, when the game program 151 is a sports game, the movement operation detection unit 193 detects the direction in which the game character is moved based on the user's input operation (the movement operation detection unit 193 allows the user to move the game character). Accept input operation to specify direction).

  Specifically, the movement operation detection unit 193 causes the user to move the finger closer to the touch screen 130 from the state in which the user's finger is separated from the touch screen 130, and the input operation reception unit 191 causes the touch panel 131 to move the user's finger. When the user performs a drag operation using the detected coordinates as the initial touch position, the moving direction of the game character is detected based on the initial touch position coordinates and the detection result of the touch screen 130. Detailed processing of the movement operation detection unit 193 will be described later.

  The camera placement control unit 194 determines how to show each object placed in the virtual space to the user. Specifically, the camera arrangement control unit 194 controls the arrangement (camera work) of the virtual camera in the virtual space generated when the control unit 190 reads and executes the game program 151. The control unit 190 provides the game play environment to the user by displaying the captured image of the virtual camera in the virtual space on the display 132.

  The object control unit 195 includes various objects that appear in the game that is progressed by the mobile terminal 10 executing the game program 151, and various objects that are generated based on the user operation content received by the input operation receiving unit 191. Processes such as generation, transformation, and movement (for example, a GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen) are controlled. The object control unit 195 generates an object indicating the moving direction of the game character based on, for example, an input operation on the touch screen 130 for moving the game character by the user, and deforms the generated object.

  The display control unit 196 outputs an image according to the camera work of the virtual camera to the display 132. The display control unit 196 determines the display content of the display 132 according to the placement of the virtual camera in the virtual space, and outputs various types of information such as images and text according to the determined display content to the display 132.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the server 20. The detailed configuration of the server 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The server 20 functions as the communication unit 220, the storage unit 250, and the control unit 290 by operating according to the program.

<Summary of Configuration of Embodiment 1>
As described above, the configuration of the game distribution system 1 according to the embodiment has been described. In the present embodiment, the game program 151 is, for example, a sports game, and the game is advanced by causing the touch screen 130 to display a screen corresponding to the placement of the virtual camera in the virtual space.

  For example, when the game program 151 is a sports game, the game progress processing unit 192 advances the story in accordance with the user's operation, determines the data to be displayed on the display 132 such as images and text, and the sports opponent's Basic processing such as processing for accepting selection from the user and processing for advancing a sports game in accordance with the user's operation is performed.

  For example, when the game program 151 is a sports game, the camera placement control unit 194 determines the placement location of the virtual camera and the direction of the shooting axis in the virtual space for playing a sports game according to the progress of the sports game. Decide sequentially. The camera arrangement control unit 194 controls camera work of the virtual camera. Detailed processing of the camera arrangement control unit 194 will be described later.

<Operation>
With reference to the drawings, the operation of each device constituting the game distribution system 1 of the embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating processing in which the movement operation detection unit 193 detects a direction in which the game character is moved in accordance with a user input operation. The movement operation detecting unit 193 sets a position (initial touch position) where the user presses the touch screen 130 by bringing a finger or the like closer to the touch panel 131 from the state where the user is not pressing the touch screen 130 as a starting point. When the input operation reception unit 191 determines that the user's operation is a drag operation, the input operation receiving unit 191 determines the game character based on the coordinates that are the starting point and the coordinates that the touch screen 130 detects the approach of the user's finger or the like. The direction to move is detected.

  A state (A) in FIG. 4 shows a state in which the user brings his / her finger close to the touch screen 130 from a state in which the user's finger has left the touch screen 130. The input operation reception unit 191 detects that the user's finger has approached the touch panel 131 and stores the detected coordinates in the memory as an initial touch position.

  In the example of FIG. 4, the coordinates of the initial touch position held by the memory are indicated as initial touch position coordinates 155. The input operation reception unit 191 does not detect the detection result of the touch screen 130 (the coordinates at which the user's finger is approaching the touch screen 130 and the proximity of the user's finger to the touch screen 130 ( The detection result “null”) and the touch-off state) are stored in the buffer memory 153 for a certain number of frames. The buffer memory 153 can store the detection result on the touch screen 130 for each frame for a certain frame (11 frames from the memory area fp [0] to the memory area fp [10] in the example of FIG. 3). it can. The buffer memory 153 can be realized as a ring buffer, for example, but is not limited thereto.

  In the example of the state (A), a position where the user presses the touch screen 130 (touch-on coordinates) is shown as a pressed position 30A (coordinates (x0, y0) of the touch screen 130).

  In the state (B) of FIG. 4, the user performs a drag operation on the touch screen 130, and the pressing position on the touch screen 130 is changed from the pressing position 30A to the pressing position 30B (coordinates (x9, y9) of the touch screen 130). This indicates that the frame has been moved by 10 frames (10 frames from the memory area fp [0] to the memory area fp [9]). The input operation reception unit 191 stores the detection result of the touch screen 130 in the buffer memory 153 and refers to the value held in the buffer memory 153 to determine that the user's operation on the touch screen 130 is a drag operation.

  In the state (C) of FIG. 4, the position where the user is pressing the touch screen 130 is five frames (memory area fp [10]) from the pressed position 30B to the pressed position 30C (coordinates (x14, y14) of the touch screen 130). , Fp [0], fp [1], fp [2], and fp [3]).

  The state (D) of FIG. 4 shows the detection result of the input operation in which the movement operation detection unit 193 designates the direction in which the user moves the game character in each of the state (B) and the state (C). The movement operation detection unit 193 manages information (writing position of the buffer memory 153) indicating which memory area is a target of writing the coordinates of the pressed position detected by the touch screen 130 in the buffer memory 153. .

  In the state (B), the coordinates of the touch now are coordinates (x9, y9). The movement operation detection unit 193 detects that the user has performed a drag operation based on the determination result of the input operation reception unit 191. The movement operation detection unit 193 starts from the coordinates 31A (touch-on coordinates) of the initial touch position as a starting point, and a vector 32B ((y9-y0) defined by the coordinates 31A (touch-on coordinates) and the coordinates 31B (touch now coordinates). / (X9−x0)) is detected as the direction in which the game character is moved.

  In the state (C), the coordinates of the touch now are coordinates (x14, y14). The movement operation detection unit 193 detects that the user has performed a drag operation based on the determination result of the input operation reception unit 191. The movement operation detection unit 193 starts with the coordinates 31A (touch-on coordinates) of the initial touch position as a starting point, and a vector 31C ((y14-y0) defined by the coordinates 31A (touch-on coordinates) and the coordinates 31C (touch now coordinates). / (X14−x0)) is detected as the direction in which the game character is moved.

<Screen display example for moving a game character>
With reference to FIGS. 5 to 7, an example of a screen on which the object control unit 195 moves the game character as an object based on the detection result of the movement operation detection unit 193 will be described in detail.

  For example, the game program 151 is related to a sports game in which a team composed of a plurality of game characters competes with another team over an object in a virtual space, and is specifically a soccer game. The game program 151 accepts an input operation, so that a dribbling, tackle, pass, shoot, etc. are performed over a soccer ball between a game character operated by a user who is a game player and an opponent character who battles the game character. The game is progressed by performing the operation.

  The camera arrangement control unit 194 moves the virtual camera in accordance with the movement of the game character by dribbling so that the dribbling game character is positioned at the center of the screen, for example. In the case of a sports game in which teams play against each other like a soccer game, a plurality of game characters move the target (soccer ball, etc.) while moving the object (such as a soccer ball) by a pass or the like. Place a virtual camera in a position where you can easily grasp the surroundings of the game character holding the target so that you can make decisions on whether to pass the soccer ball or hit the goal of the opponent team. To do.

  FIG. 5 shows an input operation for causing the game character holding the ball 137 to perform a dribbling action and an input operation for passing the ball 137 to another game character as an action associated with the ball 137. It is a figure which shows the example of a display of the screen for the apparatus to perform accept.

  The state (A) in FIG. 5 is a touch-off state, and the control unit 190 arranges the virtual camera so that the game character (game character holding the ball) associated with the ball 137 is displayed near the center of the touch screen 130. Indicates the controlled state.

  In the example of the state (A), the control unit 190 holds a game character 134 that constitutes a team to be operated by the user, and a game character 135 (ball 137) that is operated by the user among the game characters of the own team. The game character is a game character to be operated by the user) and the game characters 136 of other teams that are opponents are displayed on the touch screen 130.

  In the state (B), the control unit 190 dribbling the game character 135 to be operated by the user while holding the ball 137 in accordance with the moving direction of the game character detected by the moving operation detection unit 193, and the touch screen 130. It is a figure which shows the example displayed on. The control unit 190 displays, on the touch screen 130, an elastic object 187 that has a coordinate based on the initial touch position as a starting point and a coordinate based on the coordinate of the touch now as an end point. The control unit 190 displays an elastic object at coordinates based on the initial touch position, and displays the elastic object 187 so as to be extended from the starting point to the coordinates of the touch now. By displaying such an elastic object 187 on the touch screen 130, the mobile terminal 10 that executes the game program 151 can present the moving direction of the game character 135 to the user. The user can easily grasp the dribbling game character 135 by visually recognizing the shape of the elastic object 187. In addition to the elastic object 187, the control unit 190 may display, for example, an arrow-shaped object on the touch screen 130 as an object that presents the moving direction of the game character 135 to the user.

  Like a game program in related technology, in order to separate an operation for instructing movement to a game character and an operation for moving a ball, an object previously associated with the movement operation, such as a character to be moved or a virtual pad, is used. The case where a tap is required is compared with the game program 151 of this embodiment. The game program 151 of the present embodiment determines the moving direction of the game character 135 based on the coordinates (initial touch position) that is the starting point at the time of the drag operation and the coordinates that continue to be touched (touch now). The input operation to the touch screen 130 for moving the game character 135 can be accepted regardless of whether or not it is a tap on an object previously associated with the movement operation, and the user's operation is further facilitated. can do. Therefore, the interest property with respect to a game can be improved further.

  In the state (C), when the control unit 190 detects the tap operation by the input operation receiving unit 191, the tap operation is detected in the game character 135 (game character being dribbling) associated with the ball 137. It is a figure which shows the example of a display of the touch screen 130 when performing the operation | movement which passes a ball | bowl based on a coordinate.

  As shown in the state (C), the control unit 190 detects that the user has performed a tap operation at a position indicated by the coordinates 138 based on an input operation on the touch screen 130.

  In the state (D), the control unit 190 moves close to the ball 137 and moves close to the ball 137 within a certain distance from the ball 137 based on the coordinates at which the tap operation is detected in the state (C). The example which controls arrangement | positioning of a virtual camera based on the game character which is present is shown. When the control unit 190 detects a tap operation to the coordinate 138 in the state (C), the control unit 190 cancels the association between the game character 135 associated with the ball 137 in the state (C) and the ball 137, and the game character 135. The ball 137 is moved so as to kick the ball toward the coordinate 138. Based on the position of the ball 137, the camera arrangement control unit 194 moves the virtual camera as the ball 137 moves. The camera placement control unit 194 controls the placement of the virtual camera so that the ball 137 is positioned near the center of the touch screen 130. By doing so, the user can easily grasp the situation around the ball 137, and easily the game character (the game character 135 to be operated in the state (D)) that reduces the distance from the ball 137. Can be visually recognized.

  In the present embodiment, when the drag operation on the touch screen 130 is continued, the drag operation is performed regardless of whether or not the user performs a touch operation on the object to be operated at the start of the drag operation. When the game character is moved in the virtual space based on the direction and a tap operation is performed on an arbitrary position on the touch screen 130, the game character is based on the coordinates where the touch operation has been performed until a touch-off is detected. The action associated with the ball 137 (pass to the tap position) is performed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, an operation (pass) for moving a soccer ball between game characters and an operation (dribble) for instructing movement of the character can be easily separated.

<Example of redrawing an object indicating the moving direction of the game character>
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a display example of whether or not an object indicating the moving direction of the game character is redrawn according to an input operation on the touch screen 130.

  When the control unit 190 accepts an input operation for moving the game character 135 by a drag operation, there is an instantaneous touch-off (for example, detecting a touch-on again within a predetermined frame of about 1 to 3 frames). Even if the touch-on again is within a certain range from the touch position immediately before the touch-off, the process is performed assuming that the drag operation is maintained regardless of the instantaneous touch-off. As described above, when the control unit 190 is in a touch-off state from the state in which the drag operation is continued and determines that the touch-on is detected again and continued after the touch-off period, the touch-off period is equal to or less than a certain period. If the position (coordinates) of the touch-on again is within a certain range from the coordinates of the touch position immediately before the touch-off, the touch position that is the starting point of the drag operation and the touch that has been touch-on again The game character is moved in a direction determined based on the position.

  In addition, after a momentary touch-off, the control unit 190 draws the elastic object 187 based on the new starting point when the second touch-on exceeds a certain range from the touch position immediately before the touch-off. Continue dribbling. As described above, when the control unit 190 determines the detection and the continuation of the touch-on again, if the position of the touch-on again is outside the range beyond a certain range from the touch position immediately before the touch-off, The game character is moved in a direction determined based on the touch position for the second touch-on and the touch position for which the second touch-on is continued.

  The state (A) in FIG. 6 is a state in which the drag operation by the user is detected and the game character 135 holding the ball 137 is dribbling, and the input operation reception unit 191 again detects a touch-off of a certain frame or less. The state where the touch-on is made within a certain distance from the touch position immediately before the touch-off is shown.

  The state (B) is based on the position of the touch now while the control unit 190 maintains the starting point of the elastic object 187 because the second touch-on in the state (A) is performed within a certain distance from the touch position immediately before the touch-off. A state in which the elastic object 187 is displayed on the touch screen 130 is shown.

  The state (C) is a state in which the drag operation by the user is detected and the game character 135 holding the ball 137 is dribbling, and the input operation receiving unit 191 detects a touch-off of a certain frame or less and then performs a touch-on again. , Shows a state where a certain distance has been made from the touch position immediately before the touch-off.

  In the state (D), when the touch-on in the state (C) is performed again beyond a certain distance from the touch position immediately before the touch-off, the control unit 190 indicates the starting point of the elastic object 187 in the touch shown in the state (C). The state where the position is the initial touch position and the elastic object 187 is displayed on the touch screen 130 based on the position of the touch now is shown.

  In this way, in a sports game such as a soccer game in which a team composed of a plurality of game characters battles against another team over an object (ball), the switching of offense and defense between teams can occur frequently. The area that the user wants to visually recognize on the touch screen 130 can be frequently switched according to the progress of the game.

  For example, if the opponent's team holds the ball, the team will defend, so the user will try to see the area on the goal side so that the opponent's team will not score Sometimes. On the other hand, when the player takes the ball from the opponent team and attacks, the game character is moved toward the goal of the opponent team, so the opportunity to visually recognize the goal side area of the opponent team increases. On the other hand, when accepting an input operation by a touch operation on the touch screen 130, the user covers the touch screen 130 with his / her finger, so that the finger is moved to the touch screen 130 to move the game character as the game progresses. By making it possible to easily switch the position where the contact is made, the operability of the user is further improved.

<Operation according to flick operation>
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display example in which an action corresponding to the flick operation is performed in a state where the game character is moved by the drag operation.

  The control unit 190 causes the game character to perform a pass, a shoot, and other actions by accepting a flick operation while being touched on while the game character is being moved by a drag operation. In addition, the control unit 190 detects the touch-off when the user releases the finger from the touch screen 130 while the game character is moved by the drag operation, and the touch-off period is within a certain period (for example, a certain frame such as within a few frames). If a flick operation is detected at an arbitrary position on the touch screen 130, the game character is caused to perform an action corresponding to the flick operation. Thus, the control unit 190 detects the touch-off from the state where the drag operation is continued, and the period of the touch-off until the touch-on is detected again after the period of the touch-off is equal to or less than a certain period. When the user's operation content related to the touch-on again is a flick operation, the game character is caused to perform an action associated with the object based on the flick operation.

  In the state (A) of FIG. 7, the control unit 190 causes the user to bring the finger close to the touch screen 130 in a state where an input operation for moving the game character based on the direction of the drag operation is received by the drag operation. This indicates a state where a flick operation to be input is detected.

  In the state (B), by detecting the flick operation in the state (A), the game character associated with the ball 137 (the game character 135 in the state (A)) moves the ball 137 based on the direction of the flick operation. Indicates the state of passing or shooting.

  Accordingly, the user can operate the ball by the flick operation while bringing the finger into contact with the touch screen 130 and moving the game character by the drag operation while keeping the finger in contact with the touch screen 130. Can be easily operated.

  In the state (C), in a state where an input operation for moving the game character based on the direction of the drag operation is received by the drag operation, the control unit 190 removes the finger from the touch screen 130 and the touch operation is performed in the drag operation. It shows a state where it is detected that a flick operation is performed at a position that is more than a certain distance from the position where the continuation is continued.

  In the state (D), by detecting the flick operation in the state (C), the game character associated with the ball 137 (the game character 135 in the state (C)) moves the ball 137 based on the direction of the flick operation. Indicates the state of passing or shooting.

  For example, when the user is performing a drag operation at a position close to the side of the touch screen 130 in order to move the game character by dribbling, depending on the direction of the flick operation, the user may want to pass the ball in the direction of the flick operation. The area on the touch screen 130 for performing the flick operation may be limited. In the example of the state (C), a drag operation is performed in an area close to the left side of the touch screen 130, and in this state, the game character 135 may want to pass on the left side. Also in this case, as shown in the state (D), an object such as a ball corresponding to the direction of the flick operation is received by accepting the flick operation at a position that is a predetermined distance or more away from the position where the touch-on is continued in the drag operation It is possible to move.

  In this way, by accepting input by separating the tap operation and the flick operation at a position away from the position of the drag operation, in the case of the tap operation, a path to the tap position is made possible, and the flick operation performs flick operation. The path in the direction can be made possible, and the user's operation can be made easier. Here, depending on whether the flick operation is “strong flick” or “weak flick”, the mode of movement of an object such as a ball may be varied. For example, when the flick operation is “strong flick”, the game character performs an action of making the ball pass a large parabola (long pass), and when the flick operation is “weak flick”, the game character Make the ball pass as if rolling (short pass).

  With reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a process for causing the game character to perform an action associated with the object will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process for moving and moving the game character. The control unit 190 starts the process shown in FIG. 8 by detecting touch-on from the touch-off state (state (A) in FIG. 5).

  In step S <b> 801, the control unit 190 holds the initial touch position coordinates in the memory when the touch-on is detected from the touch-off state (initial touch position coordinates 155).

  In step S803, after detecting the touch-on, the control unit 190 determines whether or not the touch-off is detected within a predetermined time (determines whether or not a so-called short press). When it is determined to be a short press, the control unit 190 determines whether the user's input operation is a “tap operation” or a “flick operation” in the subsequent processing. If it is determined that the input is a long press, the control unit 190 determines whether the user's input operation is a “drag operation” or a “long tap operation” in the subsequent processing. When the touch-off is detected within a certain time in step S803 (YES in step S803), the control unit 190 performs the process of step S805. Otherwise (NO in step S803), the control unit 190 performs the process of step S815.

  In step S805, the control unit 190 compares the coordinates at which the approach of the user's finger is detected on the touch screen 130 immediately before the touch-off with the initial touch position, and the user's finger moves a predetermined distance or more from the initial touch position. Determine whether or not. If it is determined in step S805 that the user's finger has moved a predetermined distance or more (YES in step S805), control unit 190 performs the process of step S807. If not (NO in step S805), control unit 190 performs the process of step S813. Do.

  In step S807, the control unit 190 determines the amount of movement of the user's finger from the initial touch position based on the initial touch position and the coordinates at which the approach of the user's finger was detected on the touch screen 130 immediately before the touch-off. By determining whether or not the threshold value is exceeded, it is determined whether it is “strong flick” or “weak flick”. In step S807, when the amount of movement within a certain time exceeds the threshold (YES in step S807), control unit 190 performs the process of step S809, and otherwise (NO in step S807), performs the process of step S811. .

  In step S809, the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is “strong flick”, and causes the game character to perform an action according to the determination result.

  In step S811, the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is “weak flick”, and causes the game character to perform an action according to the determination result.

  In step S813, the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is a “tap operation”, and causes the game character to perform an action according to the determination result.

  In step S815, the control unit 190 determines the drag operation by determining whether or not the coordinates where the touch operation is continued (the coordinates of the touch now) and the initial touch position are separated by a certain distance or more. If it is determined in step S815 that the position of the touch now and the initial touch position are separated from each other by a certain distance (YES in step S815), the control unit 190 performs the process of step S817; otherwise (NO in step S815). ), The process of step S819 is performed.

  In step S817, the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is a “drag operation”, and moves the game character according to the direction of the drag operation (for example, the state (B) in FIG. 5). When performing the process of step S817, the control unit 190 performs the process of step S1 of FIG.

  In step S819, the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is a “long touch operation”, and causes the game character to perform an action according to the determination result.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing processing for moving and moving the game character. When the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is “drag operation” by performing the process of step S817 shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 190 starts the process shown in FIG.

  In step S831, control unit 190 determines whether or not touch-off is detected. While touch-off is not detected (NO in step S831), control unit 190 performs the process of step S835 and when touch-off is detected (YES in step S831). ), The process of step S833 is performed.

  In step S833, after detecting the touch-off in step S831, the control unit 190 determines whether the touch-off period is within a certain time (for example, whether another touch-on is detected within a certain frame). Control unit 190 performs the process of step S837 when detecting a touch-on again within a predetermined time (YES in step S833), and otherwise performs the process of step S851.

  In step S835, the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is “drag operation”, moves the game character based on the direction of the drag operation, and performs the process of step S831.

  In step S837, the control unit 190 determines whether or not the touch-on in step S833 is a short press by determining whether or not the touch-off is detected within a predetermined time after the touch-on detected in step S833. Determine whether. If it is determined to be a short press, the control unit 190 determines whether the user's input operation is a “tap operation” or a “flick operation” in the subsequent processing. If it is determined that the input is a long press, the control unit 190 determines whether the user's input operation is a “drag operation” or a “long tap operation” in the subsequent processing. In step S837, when determining that the second touch-on in step S833 is a short press (YES in step S837), the control unit 190 performs the process of step S838 and determines that it is a long press instead (step S837). In step S841, the process in step S841 is performed.

  In step S838, the control unit 190 sets, in step S833, the position where the touch-on is detected again from the touch-off state on the touch screen 130 as the initial touch position.

  In step S839, the control unit 190 determines that the touch-on position (coordinates) detected again in step S833 on the touch screen 130 is out of a certain range from the position where the touch operation was performed immediately before the touch-off detected in step S831. It is determined whether or not there is. Control unit 190 performs the process of step S2 shown in FIG. 8 when determined to be outside the predetermined range (YES in step S839), and otherwise performs the process of step S853 (NO in step S839). Do.

  In step S841, in step S833, the control unit 190 determines whether the position where the touch-on is detected again from the touch-off state is within a certain range from the position where the touch operation was performed immediately before the touch-off detected in step S831. Determine whether or not. Control unit 190 performs the process of step S845 when determined to be within a certain range (YES in step S841), and performs the process of step S847 otherwise (NO in step S841).

  In step S845, the control unit 190 determines that the user's input operation is a “drag operation”, and moves the game character based on the coordinates of the touch now, starting from the coordinates of the initial touch position held in step S801.

  In step S847, the control unit 190 sets the position where the touch-on is detected again from the touch-off state in step S833 as the initial touch position, and performs the process of step S3 illustrated in FIG. It is determined whether the operation is a “drag operation” or a “long touch operation”.

  In step S851, the control unit 190 determines whether or not the flick operation has been input while continuing the drag operation. When the touch-off is detected in step S831, a predetermined time before the touch-off is detected. It is determined whether or not the touch position has moved more than a certain distance. When it is determined that the touch position has moved by a certain distance or more and the user's input operation is “flick operation” (YES in step S851), the control unit 190 performs the process of step S4 shown in FIG. , It is determined whether the flick operation is “strong flick” or “weak flick”. If it is determined in step S851 that the touch position has not moved a certain distance or more (NO in step S851), control unit 190 ends the process such as moving the game character.

  In step S853, the control unit 190 determines whether or not the touch position has moved a certain distance or more from the touch-on position detected in step S833 to the touch-on position immediately before touch-off detected in step S837. , It is determined whether or not a flick operation has been input. When it is determined that the flick operation is input by the second touch-on detected in step S833 (YES in step S853), the control unit 190 performs the process of step S4 illustrated in FIG. "Or" weak flick ". If it is determined in step S853 that the touch position has not moved by a certain distance or more (NO in step S853), control unit 190 ends the process such as moving the game character.

<Modification>
In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which when a game character holds a soccer ball, the game character is moved by a drag operation, and the soccer ball is moved by a flick operation or a tap operation, such as passing or shooting. In addition to this, when the game character of the team operated by the user does not hold the ball and the game character of the enemy team holds the ball, the game character is moved by a drag operation, and a tap operation or a drag is performed. It is good also as making a game character perform operations, such as tackle and sliding, with respect to a ball | bowl by operation.

  Moreover, it is good also as controlling the operation | movement (action which kicks out a soccer ball) which a game character moves a target object according to the intensity | strength in which a user presses a touch panel. For example, when the touch panel detects the strength of the pressing by the user, the behavior of the ball in the pass by the tap operation is a path that rolls on the ground or the ball is pushed out depending on the pressing strength. It is good also as carving whether it is set as a pass. Further, the movement of the game character to move the object may be controlled according to the length of time for which the user brings his / her finger or the like closer to the touch screen 130. That is, depending on whether the user's operation is a tap operation or a long tap, if it is a tap operation, a path that rolls the ground toward the tap position is performed, and if it is a long tap, it is directed toward the tap position. It is also possible to make a pass that projects the ball greatly.

  In the description of FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, if the control unit 190 determines a drag operation and detects a touch-on again within a certain time after detecting the touch-off, the touch-on again may be a drag operation with a long press. For example, the game character is moved, and if the touch-on again is a short press, the game character is caused to perform an action depending on whether the operation is a tap operation or a flick operation. The coordinates where touch-off was detected at the coordinates where touch-on was detected while continuing the drag operation were the same as the frames where touch-off was detected, and the coordinates that were in the touch-on state immediately before the touch-off was detected, and more than a certain distance from the coordinates When touch-on is detected at a distant position, the processing after step S837 may be performed.

  As described above, the operations of the mobile terminal 10 and the server 20 configuring the game distribution system of each embodiment have been described. However, each process performed by the mobile terminal 10 may be performed by the server 20 or may be performed by the server 20. It is good also as performing the process performed with the portable terminal 10. FIG.

  For example, the mobile terminal 10 receives a user input operation on the touch screen 130 and transmits the received operation content to the server 20. The server 20 receives a user input operation from the mobile terminal 10, performs each process for proceeding with the game, generates a display screen for display on the mobile terminal 10 based on the placement of the virtual camera, and generates the display screen The display screen is sequentially displayed on the mobile terminal 10. Thus, it is good also as the server 20 taking up most of the processes for advancing a game. Moreover, it is good also as the portable terminal 10 taking up most of the processes for advancing a game.

  The embodiment disclosed this time must be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
