Description

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

  A user who plays a role-playing game or the like acquires game media such as cards, items, equipment, and characters as the game progresses. The user can execute various processes (for example, composition, enhancement, sale, etc.) using the game medium in the game.

  When a user executes one process (for example, composition), the following procedure is often followed. First, the user selects one process from the menu screen and displays a dedicated screen for executing the process. On the dedicated screen, the user selects a game medium (for example, a composition source character and a material character) to be processed. Then, the user presses the execution button.

  In the above procedure, selection and execution of one process are performed in different steps. If selection and execution of one process are performed in one step, the process for the game media is executed more efficiently.

  For example, Patent Document 1 describes a drag and drop widely used in a PC (personal computer). In the drag-and-drop operation, a process associated with an application can be executed by moving a selected object (for example, a document file) to an icon of one application.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

(Configuration of information processing device)
An information processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The information processing apparatus 1 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, or a game device, and executes a game application (program). The game application may be received from a predetermined application distribution server via the Internet, for example. Alternatively, the game application may be stored in advance in a storage device provided in the information processing apparatus 1 or a storage medium such as a memory card readable by the information processing apparatus 1.

  Here, an outline of a game application (hereinafter referred to as a game of the present embodiment) executed by the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. The game of this embodiment is a role playing game etc., for example. The user operates the user character in the virtual space to advance the game. The user acquires a game medium according to the progress of the game. In addition, the user can execute various processes on the acquired game media.

  The game medium is electronic data used in the game, and includes any medium such as a card, an item, equipment, a character, and an object. In addition, the user can execute, for example, acquisition, possession, use, management, exchange, composition, strengthening, sale, destruction, gifting, and the like as processing for the game media in the game. Here, the usage mode of the game media is not limited to those specified in the present specification.

  The game of this embodiment includes the following contents as a schematic illustration. The user operates the user character to advance the game while searching for a field in the game. For example, a town and a battle stage are provided in the field. For example, the user character can have a conversation with a resident character in the town, a battle with an enemy character encountered in the battle stage, or the like. In the field in the game, various events occur according to the area. As the event is executed, the main story of the game proceeds. For example, when a user character wins a battle with an enemy character, the user can acquire a game medium.

  The components of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described. The information processing apparatus 1 includes an operation unit 10, a storage unit 11, a display unit 12, and a control unit 13.

  The operation unit 10 receives a user input operation and outputs input operation data in which the input operation is associated with coordinate information. As described above, in the game executed by the information processing apparatus 1, various processes can be executed on the game medium. The user input operation received by the operation unit 10 includes, for example, an operation in which the user selects a game medium to be processed. The user input operation received by the operation unit 10 includes, for example, an operation for instructing execution of a desired process on the game medium selected by the user.

  In the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the operation unit 10 is a touch panel integrated with the display unit 12. For example, the information processing apparatus 1 has a configuration in which a transparent sensor layer that detects a change in capacitance that is the operation unit 10 is overlaid on an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) layer that is the display unit 12 (the user has a sensor layer). The LCD layer is viewed through the screen. The operation unit 10 can detect a position touched by the user by detecting a change in capacitance. The operation unit 10 can employ a touch panel of a method other than the capacitance method.

  The user performs an input operation by touching the operation unit 10 using an instrument such as a finger or a stylus. In the present embodiment, the user can select a game medium and deselect (cancel) the selected game medium by tapping. The tap is an operation in which the user touches the operation unit 10 with a finger and then releases the finger without moving the finger. In the present embodiment, the user can perform continuous game media selection, release, and desired processing for game media by a tap and / or slide operation. The slide operation is an operation for moving a finger touched by the user on the operation unit 10 on the operation unit 10. The slide operation includes, for example, flicking and swiping. The flick is an operation in which the user touches the operation unit 10 with a finger or the like, and quickly moves the finger while touching and releases the finger. The swipe is an operation in which the user touches the operation unit 10 with a finger or the like and moves the finger while touching. Here, the point where the user starts the input operation by bringing the finger or the like into contact with the operation unit 10 is referred to as a start point. Further, when the input operation is finished, the point at which the user releases the finger or the like that has been in contact with the operation unit 10 is called an end point. A point on the locus where the user has touched the operation unit 10 from the start to the end of the input operation is referred to as an intermediate point. Here, when the finger or the like touches the operation unit 10 again within a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds), the end point is not the end point so that the point at which the finger or the like leaves for a moment during the input operation is not the end point. Is preferably treated as

  The operation unit 10 associates the tap position, the slide operation start point, the end point, the slide operation locus, and the like with coordinate information on the touch panel. The start point, end point, trajectory and the like associated with the coordinate information are output as input operation data. In the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, coordinates in an orthogonal coordinate system in which the horizontal direction of the screen of the display unit 12 integrated with the operation unit 10 is the X axis and the vertical direction is the Y axis are used. The input operation data also includes information on the elapsed time from the start of the input operation.

  The storage unit 11 is, for example, a storage device, and stores various information and programs (game applications) necessary for game processing. The storage unit 11 may include, for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, or an optical memory. The storage unit 11 stores an image of a game medium to be displayed in a virtual space (virtual game space). The storage unit 11 stores various parameters (for example, attributes, levels, attack power, defense power, value, etc.) of the game media. The storage unit 11 stores a table 111 (see FIG. 4) described later. The storage unit 11 may store various images (texture images) for projection (texture mapping) on various objects arranged in the virtual space. In addition, the storage unit 11 stores, for example, background images (background images) such as sky and distant views, and field images (field images) such as towns and battle stages. The storage unit 11 may be a memory (such as a RAM) that stores data received from the server as a cache.

  The display unit 12 displays a virtual space where the user character is arranged. In the present embodiment, the display unit 12 is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) layer of a touch panel, but is not limited thereto. For example, the display unit 12 may be a display device such as an organic EL display.

  The control unit 13 is a dedicated microprocessor or a CPU that realizes a specific function by reading a specific program. The control unit 13 controls the operation of the information processing apparatus 1. For example, the control unit 13 executes a game application in response to a user operation on the operation unit 10. Further, the control unit 13 executes various processes related to the game.

  The control unit 13 causes the display unit 12 to display a virtual space including, for example, a field and a user character. In addition, the control unit 13 causes the display unit 12 to display game media such as cards and equipment. Further, the control unit 13 identifies the game medium selected by the user input operation. The control unit 13 executes processing corresponding to the user input operation on the selected game medium. Hereinafter, examples of screens displayed on the display unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment and processing for game media will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Select game media)
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 1 includes an operation unit 10 and a display unit 12 that are integrated to form a touch panel. The display unit 12 is provided with a display area 121 for displaying the game media 2a to 2i. Each of the game media 2a to 2i is an individual game media. In the display area 121, a list of game media 2a to 2i is displayed. The list display means that the game media are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner so as to be easily selected by the user. In the example of FIG. 2, a list display in which game media 2 a to 2 i are arranged in three columns in both vertical and horizontal directions is displayed. In the present embodiment, the display area 121 is used for selecting the game media 2a to 2i regardless of the processing to be executed. Since the selection screen is unified regardless of processing, convenience for the user is improved.

  The user can select the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 by tapping. When the already selected game media 2a to 2i are tapped, they can be deselected (cancellation of selection). Further, even when the game media 2a to 2i are touched by a slide operation, the touched game media 2a to 2i can be selected. In the example of FIG. 2, the user has selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i. Since the display colors of the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i change, the user can confirm the selection result. As another example, the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i may blink, the shape may change, the display mode may change, and it indicates that the game media has been selected. An image may be added.

  Here, the operation unit 10 accepts a user input operation and outputs input operation data in which the input operation is associated with coordinate information. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation unit 10 uses coordinates in an orthogonal coordinate system in which the horizontal direction of the screen is the X axis and the vertical direction is the Y axis. The coordinate information is used as follows. For example, the operation unit 10 receives an input operation of tapping the user's game medium 2i, and outputs input operation data in association with the coordinates of the tap position. Thereafter, the input operation data is acquired by the control unit 13, and the coordinates of the tap position are grasped. Then, control for changing the display color of the game medium 2 i displayed at the coordinates of the tap position is executed by the control unit 13.

  The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can execute various processes on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i. As described above, the information processing apparatus 1 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, or a game device. Therefore, it is not realistic to apply drag and drop to the information processing apparatus 1 as it is.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a screen when drag and drop is directly applied to the information processing apparatus 1A that is a smartphone. The display unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 1A is provided with a processing area corresponding to an application icon. In the example of FIG. 12, an evolution synthesis area 140A, a reinforcement synthesis area 140B, a special synthesis area 140C, a team organization area 140D, a sale area 140E, and a warehouse area 140F are provided as processing areas. In the example of FIG. 12, the user can process the selected game media collectively by dragging the selected game media 2d and 2e to one of the processing areas.

  However, in the display unit 12 whose size is smaller than that of the PC, the display area 121 for displaying the game media 2a to 2f is reduced by providing the processing area. The number of game media that can be selected at one time is reduced, resulting in an increase in the number of executions of processing, which is inconvenient for the user.

  The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can execute various processes on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i without providing a processing area on the display unit 12. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 1 executes various processes by causing the processes to correspond to the direction of the user's slide operation. In other words, the user can execute a desired process only by a sliding operation in a predetermined direction.

(Display help information)
Here, the user may be wondering which direction of the slide operation corresponds to the desired process. The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment displays help information 122 on the display unit 12 when the user presses and holds (long taps) after selecting the game media 2a to 2i.

  FIG. 3A shows an example of help information 122. In the present embodiment, the help information 122 is information such as an image that explains the association between the process and the direction for the game content. Here, the help information 122 may include a text description. Further, the help information 122 may be only a description by sentences. That is, the help information 122 is at least one of an image and a sentence that explain the association between the process and the direction for the game medium.

  In the example of FIG. 3A, the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 are equipment (for example, weapons, helmets, armor, shields, etc.) worn by the character. For equipment, synthesis, warehouse, special synthesis, and sale can be processed. Combining is a process of combining equipment that is a material into another equipment by composing the equipment that is the material into the original equipment. The warehouse is a process of moving unused equipment to a virtual warehouse in the game space for storage. Special composition is composition performed by consuming not only in-game currency but also special items. Special synthesis can reinforce the parameters of the equipment from which it is synthesized, rather than just synthesis. The sale is a process of exchanging equipment for in-game currency. In the example of FIG. 3A, the help information 122 indicates that the upward slide operation is a synthesis. The help information 122 indicates that the downward slide operation is a warehouse. The help information 122 indicates that the rightward slide operation is a special composition. The help information 122 indicates that the leftward sliding operation is a sale.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram showing another example of the help information 122. In the example of FIG. 3B, the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 are characters. Characters can be processed for enhanced synthesis, evolutionary synthesis, and sale. Reinforced composition is a process of strengthening the parameters of the composition source character by composing the material character to the composition source character. Evolutionary synthesis is a process of combining a source character with another source character by synthesizing a source character with the source character. The sale is a process of exchanging characters for in-game currency. In the example of FIG. 3B, the help information 122 indicates that the upward slide operation is an enhanced synthesis. Further, the help information 122 indicates that the rightward slide operation is evolutionary synthesis. The help information 122 indicates that the leftward sliding operation is a sale. In the example of FIG. 3B, there is no processing corresponding to the downward slide operation.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the processing differs depending on the type (equipment, character) of the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121. That is, the information processing apparatus 1 associates appropriate processing according to the type of game medium with the direction of the slide operation. Such association is executed based on information stored in the storage unit 11 as the table 111.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the table 111 stored in the storage unit 11. As described above, the table 111 associates the processing for the game content with the direction of the slide operation. In the present embodiment, the table 111 associates various processes for game media with the direction of the slide operation for each type of game media. The direction of the slide operation is, for example, up, down, left, right, upper right, or the like. However, not all orientations need to be associated with processing. In the example of FIG. 4, the process is not associated with the upper right direction regardless of the type of game medium, which is character, equipment, or item.

  The correspondence between the processing in the case where the type of game medium is a character and equipment in FIG. 4 and the direction of the slide operation is the same as the help information 122 described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B, respectively. Further, in the example of FIG. 4, when the type of game medium is an item, the upward slide operation is associated with reinforcement executed by consuming points. The downward slide operation is associated with the warehouse. Further, the leftward sliding operation is associated with sale.

  Here, as another example, the table 111 may share the correspondence between the processing and the direction of the slide operation for each type of game media. However, when there are many processes for the game media (for example, when there are more than 8 types), the process according to the type of the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 as in this embodiment is set as the direction of the slide operation. It is preferable to associate them. As yet another example, the processing may be different depending on the type of game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i selected instead of the type of game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the same process is matched with the same direction irrespective of the type of game media 2a-2i like the example of FIG. For example, the game media 2a to 2i can be sold regardless of whether they are characters, equipment, or items. The sale is associated with the left direction. In addition, even if the game media 2a to 2i are equipment or items, they can be stored in a warehouse (or taken out from the warehouse). The warehouse is associated downward. As in this example, it is preferable that processing common to two or more types of game media 2a to 2i is associated with the same direction of slide operation. At this time, since the user stores the specific process and the specific direction in association with each other, it is possible to reduce the trouble of checking with the help information 122.

(Execution of processing)
As described above, the user taps and selects the game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i from the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 (see FIG. 2). Then, the user displays the help information 122 by long-pressing the operation unit 10 integrated with the display unit 12, and confirms the correspondence between the process and the direction (FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B). )reference). Then, by performing a slide operation (flick as a specific example) in a direction corresponding to the desired process, the desired process can be collectively executed on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i. it can.

  FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B exemplify how the user executes one process by a slide operation. In the examples of FIGS. 5A and 5B, the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 are equipment. In the example of FIG. 5A, the user performs composition on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i. The composition is associated with the upward slide operation. When the user performs an upward sliding operation with a finger or the like, the prediction 123 pops up halfway (before the synthesis is performed). The prediction 123 is a result that is expected when one process corresponding to the direction of the halfway sliding operation determined in the table 111 is executed on the selected game medium. The prediction 123 is not limited to definite content. For example, if one process is performed according to a predetermined probability, the prediction 123 may result in one or more outcomes with probability (eg, 70% probability X, 20% probability Y, 10% Z etc. may be displayed with probability. In the example of FIG. 5A, the prediction 123 indicates a prediction result of synthesis. The prediction 123 notifies the user that the synthesis result is “ABC (rare)” with a probability of 80%. Further, when the user performs an upward slide operation with a finger or the like, composition for the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i is executed. Here, in composition, the game medium 2d selected first may be treated as a composition source, or the game medium 2i selected last may be treated as a composition source.

  In the example of FIG. 5B, the user sells the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i together. The sale is associated with a leftward sliding operation. When the user performs a slide operation to the left with a finger or the like, the prediction 123 pops up on the way (before the sale is executed). In the example of FIG. 5B, the prediction 123 indicates the prediction result (scheduled sale amount) of the sale. The prediction 123 notifies the user that the scheduled sale amount (total) of the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i is “2350G”. Here, G is a unit of in-game currency. Further, when the user performs a sliding operation to the left with a finger or the like, the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i are sold together.

  FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating the execution determination of the process. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, the process is executed or canceled according to the length of the slide operation. When executing one process on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i, the user performs a slide operation in a direction corresponding to the one process using a finger or the like. In the present embodiment, a threshold Th is provided for the distance from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of the slide operation. The threshold Th may be set to a distance corresponding to 200 to 400 pixels on the display unit 12, for example. The threshold value Th is used in process execution determination. For example, when the distance L1 from the start point 131 to the end point 132 exceeds the threshold Th as indicated by the arrow on the left side of FIG. 6A (representing a slide operation), the information processing apparatus 1 executes the process. For example, when the distance L2 from the start point 131 to the end point 132 is equal to or less than the threshold Th as indicated by an arrow on the right side of FIG. 6A (representing a slide operation), the information processing apparatus 1 treats the processing as canceled. .

  Here, when the prediction 123 is displayed, the user may want to interrupt the process from the content. In the example of FIG. 5A, the user grasps that the probability that the synthesis result is “ABC (rare)” is high by the prediction 123. If the user thinks that “ABC (rare)” is unnecessary, he / she may want to cancel the synthesis. Further, in the example of FIG. 5B, the user grasps that the planned sale price is “2350 G” based on the prediction 123. If the user thinks that “2350G” is cheap, he may want to cancel the sale. In the present embodiment, the process when the prediction 123 is displayed is canceled by the determination described below.

  FIG. 6B is a diagram exemplifying a process cancellation method when the prediction 123 is displayed. In the example of FIG. 6B, the user first performs a sliding operation upward from the start point 131 as indicated by a solid arrow. Then, the user changes the direction in the lower right direction in the middle while bringing a finger or the like into contact with the operation unit 10 and performs a slide operation to the end point 132. In the upward slide operation from the first start point 131, a prediction 123 is displayed when the user moves away from the start point 131 by a specific distance smaller than the threshold Th. In the present embodiment, the specific distance is 80% of the threshold value Th (0.8 Th in FIG. 6B). Further, the intermediate point on the locus (solid arrow in FIG. 6B) when the prediction 123 is displayed is set as the specific intermediate point 133. That is, the specific intermediate point is an intermediate point separated from the start point by a specific distance (a distance for displaying the prediction 123 of the process associated with the one direction) in the one direction. Here, the multiplier (80%) for the threshold Th giving a specific distance is an example, and may be 50% as another example.

  As in the example of FIG. 6B, the direction from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of the slide operation (the direction of the vector Ve in FIG. 6B) is the direction from the start point 131 to the specific intermediate point 133 (FIG. 6B). If it is not the same as the direction of the vector Vm in B), the information processing apparatus 1 cancels the processing. That is, if the direction from the final start point 131 to the end point 132 is different from the direction from the start point 131 to which the prediction 123 is displayed to the specific intermediate point 133, the information processing apparatus 1 determines the direction of the intentional slide operation by the user. It is determined that this is a change. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 cancels the process. In the present embodiment, when the directions are not the same as described above, the information processing apparatus 1 regardless of the distance from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of the slide operation (the length of the vector Ve in FIG. 6B). Cancels the process.

  Here, the direction from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of the slide operation and the direction from the start point 131 to the specific intermediate point 133 are not limited to perfect matching. That is, if the direction from the start point 131 to the end point 132 and the direction from the start point 131 to the specific intermediate point 133 are substantially the same, the information processing apparatus 1 is determined to be the same. Whether or not they are substantially the same is determined as follows. In this embodiment, when the angle formed by the vector Ve and the vector Vm in FIG. 6B exceeds a predetermined value (predetermined angle), the direction is determined to be different, and the angle is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value (predetermined angle). If so, it is determined that the directions are the same. Here, the predetermined value (predetermined angle) may be set to 20 °, for example, in consideration of blurring of the user's input operation. At this time, when a slide operation that returns the user's finger or the like to the original position (for example, around the start point 131) is detected midway, the control unit 13 may cancel the process.

(flowchart)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a game control method executed by the control unit 13. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, the control unit 13 executes a process corresponding to the user's slide operation on the selected game medium.

  First, user input operations received by the operation unit 10 are classified into three. The first input operation is an input operation for the user to select a game medium. The second input operation is an input operation for instructing a process for the game medium selected by the first input operation. The third input operation is a user input operation (for example, long press) that is different from the first input operation and the second input operation. The operation unit 10 receives the first input operation, the second input operation, and the third input operation, and associates the first input operation data, the second input operation data, and the third input operation with the coordinate information, respectively. Output as input operation data. The first to third input operation data also includes information on the elapsed time from the start of the input operation.

  The control unit 13 acquires first input operation data from the operation unit 10 (step S1). And the control part 13 specifies the selected game content based on 1st input operation data (step S2). Step S2 is a game medium specifying step. The control unit 13 acquires coordinate information such as a tap position and a slide operation locus from the first input operation data. The control unit 13 identifies the selected game medium by comparing the acquired coordinate information with the coordinates of the game medium displayed on the display unit 12.

  The control unit 13 acquires third input operation data from the operation unit 10 (step S3). And the control part 13 determines whether 3rd input operation is long press (step S4). The control unit 13 obtains, for example, coordinate information of the start point and end point of the input operation, information on the time from the start to the end, and the like from the third input operation data. And the control part 13 determines whether the time from the start of input operation to completion | finish exceeds predetermined time (1st long press determination threshold value). In addition, the control unit 13 determines whether or not the distance between the start point coordinates and the end point coordinates of the input operation is equal to or less than a predetermined distance (second long press determination threshold value). When the time from the start to the end of the input operation exceeds the first long press determination threshold and the distance between the start point coordinates and the end point coordinates is equal to or less than the second long press determination threshold, the control unit 13 It is determined that the input operation is a long press. The first long press determination threshold value may be set, for example, in a range of 1 to 3 seconds. Further, the second long press determination threshold value may be set to a distance corresponding to 1 to 10 pixels on the display unit 12, for example. When it is determined that the third input operation is a long press (Yes in step S4), the control unit 13 causes the display unit 12 to display help information 122 (step S5). Step S5 is a help display step. In the present embodiment, the help information 122 displayed on the display unit 12 is not displayed when a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses after the user stops long pressing. After executing the process of step S5 and when the control unit 13 determines that the third input operation is not a long press (No in step S4), the control unit 13 proceeds to the process of step S6.

  The control unit 13 acquires the table 111 from the storage unit 11 (step S6). As described above, the table 111 is information in which processing for the game content is associated with the direction of the slide operation.

  The control unit 13 acquires second input operation data from the operation unit 10 (step S7). And the control part 13 acquires coordinate information, such as the start point of a slide operation, the locus | trajectory of a slide operation, etc. from 2nd input operation data. The control unit 13 determines whether or not the end point of the slide operation is specified (step S8). When the coordinate information of the end point of the slide operation is included in the second input operation data, the control unit 13 determines that the end point of the slide operation is specified (the end point exists) (Yes in step S8). The process proceeds to step S11.

  When it is determined that the end point of the slide operation is not specified (the end point does not exist) (No in step S8), the control unit 13 performs the following processing relating to the display of the prediction 123. The control unit 13 determines whether or not the specific intermediate point is included in the locus during the slide operation (step S9). The specific intermediate point is an intermediate point separated from the start point of the slide operation by a specific distance (a distance corresponding to 80% of the threshold Th in the example of FIG. 6B) in one direction. When the control unit 13 determines that the specific intermediate point is included in the locus of the slide operation (Yes in step S9), the process corresponding to the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point in the table 111 is selected. The prediction 123 when it is executed on the played game content is displayed on the display unit 12 (step S10). Step S10 is a prediction display step. In the present embodiment, the prediction 123 displayed on the display unit 12 is not displayed when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses from the start of display. After executing the process of step S10 and when determining that the specific intermediate point is not included (No in step S9), the control unit 13 returns to the process of step S7. And the control part 13 acquires the updated 2nd input operation data.

  The control unit 13 obtains the distance from the start point to the end point when the second input operation data includes end point coordinate information. Then, the control unit 13 determines whether or not the distance from the start point to the end point of the second input operation exceeds a threshold Th (see FIG. 6B) (step S11). When determining that the distance from the start point to the end point is equal to or less than the threshold Th (No in step S11), the control unit 13 cancels the process for the selected game medium and ends the series of processes. When determining that the distance from the start point to the end point exceeds the threshold Th (Yes in step S11), the control unit 13 specifies the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation (slide operation) (step S12). ).

  The control unit 13 determines whether or not the prediction 123 is displayed (step S13). Control part 13 progresses to processing of Step S15, when prediction 123 is not displayed on display part 12 (No of Step S13). When the control unit 13 displays the prediction 123 on the display unit 12 (Yes in step S13), the control unit 13 proceeds to the process of step S14 for determining cancellation of the process.

  The control unit 13 determines whether or not the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation (slide operation) is the same as the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point when the prediction 123 is displayed, that is, in the prediction display step. (Step S14). In the process of step S14, the control unit 13 has the same direction as long as the angle formed by the vector Ve connecting the start point and the end point and the vector Vm connecting the start point and the specific intermediate point is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value. Is determined. When the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation is not the same as the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point (No in step S14), the control unit 13 cancels the process for the selected game medium. A series of processing ends. When the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation is the same as the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point (Yes in step S14), the control unit 13 proceeds to the process in step S15.

  The control unit 13 executes one process associated with the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation in the table 111 for the selected game medium (step S15), and ends the series of processes. To do. Step S15 is an execution step.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment associates a process with a game medium and a direction, and performs one process according to the direction of the user's slide operation on the selected game medium. And execute. The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment realizes a user interface that can easily and efficiently execute various processes for game media.

  Further, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment does not need to provide a processing area (see FIG. 12) corresponding to the drag-and-drop application icon on the display unit 12. Therefore, it is suitable for the information processing apparatus 1 such as a smartphone including the display unit 12 having a size smaller than that of the PC.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and embodiments, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various changes and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so that there is no logical contradiction, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. .

(Modifications, etc.)
In the above embodiment, the control unit 13 receives input operation data from the operation unit 10. However, the storage unit 11 may temporarily store input operation data. The control unit 13 may receive input operation data from the storage unit 11. At this time, since the storage unit 11 functions as a buffer, the control unit 13 can select the timing for acquiring input operation data more flexibly.

  In the above embodiment, the display area 121 displays a list of displayable game media 2a to 2i. Here, when a game medium that cannot be displayed in the display area 121 is owned, the user may be able to switch pages in units of the display area 121. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the first page includes game media 1a to 1i, the second page includes game media 2a to 2i, and the third page includes game media 3a to 3i. May be.

  Here, in the page switching using the display area 121 as a unit, the control unit 13 may switch to and display adjacent pages in accordance with a slide input operation in the horizontal direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, the game is displayed in the display area 121 in response to an input operation of the user sliding the display area 121 to the left. The media 3a to 3i may be displayed. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, the display area 121 is displayed in response to an input operation of the user sliding the display area 121 to the right. The game media 1a to 1i may be displayed.

  Further, when the page is switched according to the slide input operation in this way, for example, according to the slide input operation in the vertical direction, the control unit 13 may switch and display the page so as to jump to a predetermined non-adjacent page. Good. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, 10 is displayed in the display area 121 according to the input operation of the user sliding up the display area 121. The game media 12a to 12i corresponding to the page destination may be displayed. Similarly, when the game media 12a to 12i are displayed in the display area 121, the game media 2a to 10 corresponding to 10 pages before in the display area 121 according to the input operation of the user sliding down the display area 121. 2i may be displayed.

  Further, when the page is switched according to the slide input operation in this way, for example, according to the slide input operation in the oblique direction, the control unit 13 may switch the display so as to jump to a predetermined page that is not adjacent. Good. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, the display area 121 is displayed in response to an input operation of the user sliding the display area 121 from the lower left to the upper right. Alternatively, the game media 102a to 102i corresponding to 100 pages ahead may be displayed.

  Here, the page displayed in the display area 121 may be switched by the tab 124. In the example of FIG. 8A, the user has selected the tab 124 with the number “2”. In the display area 121, game media 2a to 2i included in the second page are displayed. The user can easily switch pages using the tab 124. Here, for example, when the user selects the tab 124 with the number “1”, the game media 1 a to 1 i are displayed in the display area 121. Further, instead of the tab 124, the page may be switched by the slider 125 shown in FIG. The slider 125 can move the knob in units of scale corresponding to each page.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8C, an in-screen all selection button 126 that can select the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 at once may be provided. For example, when the control unit 13 determines that the user has pressed the in-screen all selection button 126 based on the first input operation data, all the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 of the display unit 12 are displayed. It is determined that is selected. At this time, the game media 1 a to 1 i on the first page and the game media 3 a to 3 i on the third page that are not selected on the tab 124 are not displayed on the display unit 12. Therefore, the control unit 13 treats that the game media 1a to 1i and the game media 3a to 3i are not selected. Then, the control unit 13 controls the display unit 12 to change the display colors of the selected game media 2a to 2i. Thereafter, when it is determined that the user has pressed the in-screen all selection button 126 again, the control unit 13 cancels the selection of the game media 2a to 2i. That is, the in-screen all selection button 126 functions as a toggle button that selects all of the game contents displayed on the display unit 12 and cancels the selection.

  Here, the game media may be sorted according to one or more conditions specified by the user, preferably a plurality of conditions. The sort target may be limited to the game media (for example, game media 2a to 2i) displayed in the display area 121, or all the game media that are not displayed in the display area 121 (for example, game media 1a to 1i, 2a). ~ 2i and 3a-3i). The plurality of conditions means that, for example, a rare degree can be designated as the first condition, and an attribute can be designated as the second condition. Then, the game media may be sorted in descending order of the rarity for each attribute. By sorting under such a plurality of conditions, the user can easily assign game media to each page appropriately.

  In the above embodiment, the table 111 associates various processes for game media with the direction of the slide operation for each type of game media displayed in the display area 121 (see FIG. 4). Here, the table 111 may further have a section indicating whether one or more game media are selected. And even if the kind of game media is the same, processing may differ depending on whether there is one game media or a plurality of game media.

  In the example of FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, game media 2 a to 2 i that are characters are displayed in the display area 121. In the example of FIG. 9A, a plurality (two) of game media 2a and 2b are selected. At this time, the help information 122 indicates that the selected character can be subjected to enhanced synthesis, evolutionary synthesis, and sale processing. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 9B, a single (one) game medium 2a is selected. At this time, the help information 122 indicates that the selected character can be processed for leader setting, equipment change, and sale. In the example of FIG. 9B, instead of the reinforcement synthesis and evolutionary synthesis that require a plurality of game media, processing such as leader setting and equipment change for one game media is possible. In this way, depending on whether the number of game media to be selected is one or more, processing for the game media is made different so that only executable processing is associated with the direction of the slide operation. This makes it possible to realize a user interface that is easier for the user to use.

  In the embodiment described above, one process is executed from various processes for the game media in accordance with the direction of the slide operation. Here, in a situation where it is already determined to execute one process on the game medium, the selection item in the one process may be determined in accordance with at least one of the direction and the length of the slide operation. . For example, after the user selects one process according to the direction of the slide operation, the screen transitions to a dedicated screen for executing the one process, and the user selects the slide screen by the slide operation as before. Matters (for example, parameters, characters, etc.) may be determined.

  FIG. 10 shows a screen for the user to select a character by a sliding operation in a situation where the process of attaching the selected game medium to the character has been determined. The equipment i to be mounted is displayed in the center of the screen. Then, four characters A to D are assigned to the up-down and left-right directions of the equipment i, respectively. In the example of FIG. 10, the user performs a rightward slide operation on the screen and instructs the character B to wear the equipment i. Here, the prediction 123 may also be displayed on this screen. As the prediction 123, an image, a parameter, or the like when the equipment i is attached to the character according to the direction of the user's slide operation may be displayed. By confirming the prediction 123, the user can try on each character before executing the process of wearing. In the example of FIG. 10, the equipment i is one weapon, but a plurality of equipment (for example, a sword and a shield) may be collectively attached to the character.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for selecting a parameter to be strengthened by a slide operation in a situation where a process of strengthening a user character by a strengthening point (a point at which the character can be strengthened by consumption) is determined. Shows the screen. Six parameters (attack power, HP, skill, defense power, MP, speed) are assigned to each of six directions from the center of the screen. In the example of FIG. 11, the user can perform an upward slide operation V1 on the screen to strengthen the attack power assigned upward. In the example of FIG. 11, the user can also perform a slide operation V2 in the lower left direction (an intermediate direction between the MP and the defense strength) on the screen, thereby simultaneously strengthening the MP and the defense strength. The degree of strengthening increases with the length of the slide operation, and the consumption of points for strengthening also increases. In the example of FIG. 11, since the slide operation V1 is longer than the slide operation V2, the attack power is greatly strengthened over the MP and defense power. Here, when the user presses and holds the center of the screen for a long time, all parameters may be equally strengthened with a size corresponding to the time of the long press.

  In the above embodiment, one threshold is provided, and the process is executed or canceled depending on whether the distance from the start point to the end point of the slide operation exceeds the threshold (see FIG. 6B). . Here, there may be a plurality of threshold values. And each of a some threshold value may be used by execution determination of a different process.

  For example, it is assumed that two processes “composite” and “sale” are associated in one direction. It is assumed that a first threshold value and a second threshold value larger than the first threshold value are provided. The control unit 13 determines that both of the two processes have been canceled when the distance from the start point to the end point of the user's slide operation is equal to or less than the first threshold value. Further, when the distance exceeds the first threshold and is equal to or less than the second threshold, the control unit 13 performs “compositing” on the selected game medium. In addition, when the distance exceeds the second threshold value, the control unit 13 executes “sale” instead of “synthesis” on the selected game content. Thus, by providing a plurality of thresholds corresponding to each of a plurality of processes, it becomes possible to associate a plurality of processes with one direction. Since more processes can be associated without increasing the number of slide orientations, a user interface that enables more efficient operation can be realized. At this time, a plurality of processes may be associated with the longitudinal direction (for example, the vertical direction) of the display unit 12. In other words, one process may be associated with the direction of the display unit 12 in the short direction (for example, the left-right direction). By adjusting the number of processes associated with one direction according to the shape of the display unit 12, a user interface that is easier to operate can be realized even in the information processing apparatus 1 having the display unit 12 having a relatively small size. it can.

  In the above embodiment, the user's slide operation is executed on the touch panel. However, the slide operation is not limited to the contact operation, and may be executed in a space (in the air). For example, the operation unit 10 may include a sensor that detects the movement of the user's finger or the like. And the operation part 10 is good also considering the locus | trajectory which the user's finger etc. drew in space as input operation. For example, the operation unit 10 may be an operation device (controller) operated by a user. The locus of the operating device that has moved through the space from when the user pushes the button of the operating device (controller) to when it is released may be the input operation. The point where the button is pushed and the point where it is released may correspond to the start point and the end point, respectively. In addition, the direction from the start point to the end point in space may be determined not only in the up / down / left / right direction (direction on one plane) but also in the foreground and depth directions.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a slide operation that satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, a length exceeding a threshold and that there is no intentional change in direction) is performed, one process is immediately executed. . Here, even if a slide operation satisfying a predetermined condition is performed, the process may be executed when the first preparation for the process is performed and the user performs the slide operation in the same direction again. For example, it is assumed that the processing associated with the direction of the slide operation performed by the user is a warehouse. At this time, storage in the warehouse is not executed in the first slide operation, and a preparation screen may be displayed. The preparation screen may include, for example, a selected game medium and a confirmation message “Can it be stored?”. In addition, as an operation for executing a process performed by the user after the first slide operation, a long press, a stop of the slide operation for a predetermined time, or the like may be used instead of the slide operation in the same direction.

  In the above embodiment, the process executed on the game media is associated with the direction of the slide operation. Here, cancellation may be associated with one direction of the slide operation. For example, cancellation may be associated with the lower left direction regardless of the type of game media. At this time, when the user notices that there is an excess or deficiency in the selection of the game medium, the user can immediately cancel by performing a slide operation in the lower left direction. Further, the display of help information 122 may be associated with one direction of the slide operation. For example, the display of help information 122 may be associated with the upper left regardless of the type of game media. At this time, the user can immediately confirm the help information 122 at any time. Further, when processing preparation (for example, warehouse preparation, sale preparation, etc.) is performed as described above, final execution may be associated with one direction of the slide operation. At this time, it is possible to execute the processes collectively after preparing for a plurality of processes.

  In the above embodiment, one process is executed on the selected game media in response to one input operation (slide) by the user. However, a plurality of different processes corresponding to the direction of the input operation at each stage may be executed according to the input operation of the slide at a plurality of stages by the user. For example, after selecting an item (game medium), an “item composition” icon (or the above-described prediction 123 or the like) may be displayed in response to an input operation of sliding a predetermined distance to the right. Thereafter, the “item normal composition” process may be executed in response to an input operation of sliding further to the right by a predetermined distance. On the other hand, the “item special composition” process may be executed in response to an input operation of sliding a predetermined distance downward instead of to the right. Here, in response to an input operation of sliding to the left by a predetermined distance instead of right or down, the “item composition” icon may be deleted and execution of the composition process may be cancelled.

  In the above embodiment, the help information 122 is displayed on the display unit 12 when the user presses and holds a long time after selecting a game medium. Here, the operation for displaying the help information 122 on the display unit 12 is not limited to the long press. For example, the help information 122 may be displayed on the display unit 12 when the user draws a specific figure or the like (for example, a circle or a triangle). Further, the operation unit 10 includes a pressure sensor, and when determining the depth according to the pressure of the user's input operation (the input level facing away from the user), the depth information ( Pressure value) may be included. Then, the control unit 13 treats the tap operation and the slide operation when the input operation depth is the first level, and displays the help information 122 when the input operation depth is the second level. Good.

  In the above embodiment, the display area 121 for displaying the game media is a part of the display unit 12. Here, the entire display unit 12 may be the display area 121. Even in this case, the user can execute various processes for the selected game medium by performing a slide operation in the display area 121. The number of game media that can be displayed in the display area 121 can be increased most.

  In the above embodiment, if the end point of the slide operation is not specified, one process has not been executed. However, even if the end point of the slide operation is not specified, one process is performed when the length of the slide operation trajectory reaches a predetermined length (for example, a length corresponding to the threshold Th in FIG. 6A). May be executed.

  In the above embodiment, a threshold having a predetermined length is provided, and the process is executed or canceled depending on whether the distance from the start point to the end point of the slide operation exceeds the threshold (FIG. 6 ( B)). Here, speed may be used instead of distance. At this time, the threshold value may also be set to be a predetermined speed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the server device that communicates with the information processing device 1 may execute a part or all of the operations and processes performed by the control unit 13 of the information processing device 1. For example, display control of the screen displayed on the display unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 1 may be executed by either the information processing apparatus 1 or the server apparatus, and the information processing apparatus 1 and the server apparatus cooperate with each other. May be executed.

  Moreover, in said embodiment, it is set as the web display which displays a part of game screen on the display part 12 of the information processing apparatus 1 based on the data which the server apparatus produced | generated, and a part of game screen is made into the information processing apparatus 1 It is good also as a native display displayed with the installed native application. As described above, the game according to the above-described embodiment may be a hybrid game in which each of the information processing device 1 and the server device takes part of the processing.

Moreover, in order to function as the information processing apparatus 1 or the server apparatus, for example, a computer, a mobile phone, or the like can be suitably used. The information processing apparatus 1 or the server apparatus can be realized by storing a program describing the processing contents for realizing the above functions in an accessible storage unit, and reading and executing the program by the CPU.
