It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to these exemplifications, and is shown by the scope of the claims, and it is intended that all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the scope of the claims are included in the present invention. It In the following description, the same elements are denoted by the same reference symbols in the description of the drawings, and overlapping description will not be repeated.

(Hardware configuration of game system 1)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the game system 1. As shown, the game system 1 includes a plurality of user terminals 100 and a server 200. Each user terminal 100 is connected to the server 200 via the network 2. The network 2 includes various mobile communication systems constructed by the Internet and a wireless base station (not shown). Examples of this mobile communication system include so-called 3G and 4G mobile communication systems, LTE (Long Term Evolution), and a wireless network (for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark)) connectable to the Internet by a predetermined access point. To be

  The server 200 (computer, information processing device) may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer. The server 200 includes a processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, a communication IF 23, and an input / output IF 24. These components included in the server 200 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus.

  The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing device) may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for game play. As illustrated, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit 152), a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor. 18 and. These components included in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus. Note that the user terminal 100 may include an input / output IF 14 to which a display (display unit 152) configured separately from the main body of the user terminal 100 can be connected instead of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be able to communicate with one or more controllers 1020. The controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 according to a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons or the like, and transmits an output value based on a user's input operation to the buttons or the like to the user terminal 100. Further, the controller 1020 may have various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and outputs output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

  The user terminal 100 may include the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 instead of or in addition to the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

  It is desirable that the user terminal 100 causes a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as a name or a login ID of the user via the controller 1020, for example, at the time of starting a game. This allows the user terminal 100 to associate the controller 1020 with the user, and identifies which user the output value belongs to based on the transmission source (controller 1020) of the received output value. be able to.

  When the user terminal 100 communicates with the plurality of controllers 1020, each controller 1020 is held by each user so that the user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2 and the one user terminal 100. Multiplayer can be realized with. In addition, each user terminal 100 communicates with each other according to a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (communicatively connects without passing through the server 200), so that a plurality of user terminals 100 locally realize multi-play. You can also do it. When the above-described multiplay is locally realized by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions of the server 200, which will be described later. Further, when the above-described multiplay is locally realized by the plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions of the server 200, which will be described later, in a distributed manner.

  Note that the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 even when the above-described multiplay is realized locally. For example, information indicating a play result such as a score or a win or loss in a game may be associated with user identification information and transmitted to the server 200.

  Further, the controller 1020 may be configured to be attachable to and detachable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a coupling part with the controller 1020 may be provided on at least one surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are connected by wire via the connecting unit, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 send and receive signals via wire.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may accept mounting of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input / output IF 14. As a result, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded in the storage medium 1030. The program recorded in the storage medium 1030 is, for example, a game program.

  The user terminal 100 may store the game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as the server 200 in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100, or the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 in the memory 11. May be stored in.

  As described above, the user terminal 100 includes the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, the touch screen 15, the camera 17, and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. Each of the above-described units as a mechanism for inputting can be regarded as an operation unit configured to receive an input operation by the user.

  For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 near the user terminal 100 and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, the user's hand as the object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and the input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. It More specifically, when the user's hand is detected from the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 operates the gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image by the user's input operation. As specified and accepted. The captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

  Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts the user's operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and receives a signal (for example, an output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as a user input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the input / output IF 14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input / output IF 14 is specified and accepted as the user's input operation.

(Hardware components of each device)
The processor 10 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the operation of the entire server 200. The processors 10 and 20 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

  The processor 10 reads a program from a storage 12 described later and loads it into a memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later and loads it into a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the expanded program.

  The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read by the processor 10 from a storage 12 described later. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 operates according to a program. The memory 21 provides a work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read by the processor 20 from a storage 22 described later. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 operates according to the program.

  In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game on the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. In addition, the various data includes data regarding a game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

  The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data relating to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

  The communication IF 13 controls transmission / reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission / reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, wireless LAN (Local Area Network), wired LAN, wireless LAN, or Internet communication via a mobile phone network, and communication using short-range wireless communication.

  The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive data input, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The input / output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit which is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit 152 which is a device for displaying and outputting an image.

  The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines the input unit 151 and the display unit 152. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is configured by, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like.

  The input unit 151 detects a position at which a user operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input on the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has the function of transmitting as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may be of any type such as a capacitance type or a resistance film type.

  Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can also specify the holding attitude of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding attitude. For example, the processor 10 may perform vertical screen display in which a vertically long image is displayed on the display unit 152 when the user terminal 100 is held vertically. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held sideways, a horizontally long image may be displayed on the display unit 152 as a horizontal screen display. In this way, the processor 10 may be capable of switching between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

  The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and converts a light incident from a lens into an electric signal to generate a captured image.

  The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement target. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object by the light emission timing of the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated when the light emitted from the light source is reflected on the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may include a light source that emits light having directivity.

  Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives the detection result of detecting the object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as the user's input operation will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided, for example, on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided near the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device that emits infrared light, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. Thereby, the detection accuracy of the object based on the image captured by the camera 17 can be further improved regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

  The processor 10 may perform one or more of the following processes (1) to (5) on the image captured by the camera 17, for example. (1) The processor 10 specifies whether or not the user's hand is included in the captured image by performing image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique used in the above-described image recognition processing. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the gesture of the user from the shape of the hand of the user. The processor 10 specifies the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image, for example. The processor 10 further identifies the gesture made by the user from the identified number of fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is 5, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “par” gesture. Further, when the number of fingers is 0 (no fingers are detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “goo”. Further, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “choki”. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the image captured by the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the index finger is raised or whether the user's finger makes a repulsive movement. . (4) The processor 10 determines an object 1010 (such as a user's hand) near the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand identified from the image captured by the camera 17. The above distance) is detected. If the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is determined that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand changes while the user's hand is detected, based on the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17, etc., the processor 10 recognizes that the user is shaking his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is not detected or not detected by the distance measuring sensor 18 whose directivity is stronger than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 determines that the user shakes his hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

  In this way, the processor 10 recognizes whether or not the user is clasping his / her hand based on the image recognition of the image captured by the camera 17 (whether the gesture is “goo” or other gestures (for example, “par”). Or) is detected. The processor 10 also detects the shape of the user's hand and how the user is moving this hand. Further, the processor 10 detects whether the user is moving this hand close to or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to, for example, an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch screen. The user terminal 100, for example, moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in accordance with the movement of the user's hand, and detects the gesture “goo” of the user. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining the state where the mouse is clicked and pressed, or maintaining the state where the touch screen is touched and then touched. . In addition, when the user further moves the hand while the user's gesture “goo” is detected, the user terminal 100 regards such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or the drag operation). You can also recognize. In addition, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture such that the user repels a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand from the image captured by the camera 17, the user terminal 100 clicks the gesture or taps the touch screen. It may be recognized as an operation corresponding to the operation.

(Functional configuration of the user terminal 100)
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the user terminal 100 included in the game system 1. The user terminal 100 may include a functional configuration (not shown) required when functioning as a general computer and a functional configuration required to realize a known function in a game.

  The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device that receives an input operation of a user and a function as an output device that outputs a game image or sound. The user terminal 100 functions as the control unit 110 and the storage unit 120 in cooperation with the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, and the like.

  The storage unit 220 stores the game program 131, the game information 132, and the user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program executed by the user terminal 100. The game information 132 is data that the control unit 110 refers to when executing the game program 131. The user information 133 is data regarding a user's account.

  The control unit 110 centrally controls the user terminal 100 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 120. For example, the control unit 110 advances the game according to the operation of the game program 131 and the user. In addition, the control unit 110 communicates with the server 200 and transmits / receives information as needed during the progress of the game.

  The control unit 110 functions as the operation reception unit 111, the quest execution unit 112, the rank management unit 113, the stamina recovery unit 114, the item assignment unit 115, and the display control unit 116 according to the description of the game program 131. The control unit 110 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to progress the game depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

  The operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation of the user based on the output of the touch screen 15 (input unit 151). Specifically, the operation reception unit 111 detects that the user's finger or the like has approached the touch screen 15 as the coordinates of the coordinate system composed of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the surface forming the touch screen 15. For example, the operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation on the input unit 151, detects the coordinates of the input position of the input operation, and specifies the type of the input operation. The operation receiving unit 111 identifies, as the type of input operation, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, or the like. Further, the operation receiving unit 111 detects that the contact input is released from the touch screen 15 when the continuously detected input is interrupted.

  The operation reception unit 111 determines the user's operation on the touch screen 15. The operation receiving unit 111, 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 operation reception unit 111 is not limited to the above. For example, when the touch screen 15 has a mechanism capable of detecting the amount of pressure that the user presses on the touch screen 15, the operation reception unit 111 determines the amount of pressure that the user has pressed.

  (1) The “approaching operation” is an operation in which the user brings his or her finger closer to the touch screen 15. The touch screen 15 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 15), and controls a signal according to the detected coordinates of the touch screen 15. Output to the unit 110. The control unit 110 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 15 is not detected.

  (2) “Release operation” is an operation for stopping the state where the user is operating the touch screen 15 in the approaching direction. The operation accepting unit 111 determines that the user's operation is a “release operation”, for example, when the user touches the touch screen 15 with a finger or the like and then releases the finger. The control unit 110 determines that the state has changed from the “touch-on state” to the “touch-off state” when the state in which the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 15 is detected is changed to the state in which the approach is not detected. To do.

  (3) The “tap operation” is to perform a release operation at a position where the user has performed an approach operation of approaching the touch screen 15 with a finger or the like and then performing the approach operation. The operation reception unit 111 outputs the touch screen 15 from a state in which the approach operation is not detected (a state in which the user's finger or the like is away from the touch screen 15 and the touch screen 15 does not detect the approach of the user's finger or the like). When it is detected that the user's finger or the like has approached, the detected coordinates are held as the "initial touch position". When the coordinates of the initial touch position and the coordinates of the release operation are substantially the same, the operation reception unit 111 (when the coordinates of the release operation are detected in the coordinates within a certain range from the coordinates at which the approach operation is detected). First, the user operation is determined to be a "tap operation".

  (4) The "double tap operation" is an operation in which the user performs the tap operation twice within a fixed time. For example, when the operation accepting unit 111 determines that the user's operation is a tap operation and then determines the tap operation again at the coordinates related to the tap operation within a certain time, the operation accepting unit 111 determines the user's operation as a “double tap operation”. To do.

  (5) “Long press operation” is an operation in which the user continues to press the touch screen 15. The touch screen 15 detects the operation of the user and determines the approach operation, and then, when the time during which the approach operation continues at the coordinates where the approach operation is detected exceeds a certain time, the touch screen 15 indicates the operation of the user. Long-press operation ”(“ long-press operation ”is sometimes referred to as“ long-touch operation ”).

  (6) The “drag operation” is an operation in which the user slides his / her finger while keeping the approached state in which the user has brought his / her finger or the like close to the touch screen 15.

  (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 15 while maintaining the approach operation on the touch screen 15.

  (8) "Flick operation" refers to an operation in which the user performs a move operation in a time shorter than a predetermined time. The flick operation is an operation in which the user flips his / her finger on the touch screen 15.

  The quest executing unit 112 executes the quest (first game process) by consuming the stamina (first parameter). The rank management unit 113 increases the rank of the user in the game when the experience value (second parameter) of the user exceeds the first reference value. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers stamina when a condition for recovering stamina is satisfied. The stamina recovery unit 114 automatically recovers stamina as time passes, for example, within a range not exceeding the upper limit of stamina. The item giving unit 115 gives a game item to the user when a condition for giving the game item to the user is satisfied.

  The display control unit 116 outputs, to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15, a game screen in which the processing result executed by each of the above-described elements is reflected. The display control unit 116 may display a game screen including animations showing the motions of various objects on the display unit 152. The display control unit 116 may also draw a UI (User Interface) object by superimposing it on the game screen.

  The function of the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 2 is merely an example. The server 200 may include at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100. In addition, the user terminal 100 may include at least a part of the functions included in the server 200. Further, a device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be a constituent element of the game system 1, and the other device may be caused to execute a part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game program in the present embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and another device, or may be realized by a combination of a plurality of these devices.

(Game outline)
The game based on the game system 1 is, for example, an arbitrary game in which characters (first character, ally character) operated by a user appear. This game is, for example, a game in which a character operated by a user and another character (second character, enemy character) controlled by the game system 1 or another user battle. The user can have a plurality of different characters. The user can acquire a teammate character (game medium) that can be used in the game by paid or free means. An example of the paid means is a character lottery (second game process). The character lottery means a process (second game process) in which the game system 1 selects at least one character from a plurality of characters (game contents) and gives it to the user. During the character lottery, the game system 1 can select a character according to a rule defined in the game or randomly select a character by lottery. The game system 1 gives a selected character to a user by performing a character lottery, for example, when a user consumes a game item or virtual currency.

  The game based on the game system 1 is not limited to a battle game, but may be a game of any genre such as a sports game. The game system 1 is not limited to a specific play mode, but may be a system for executing a game of any play mode. For example, a single-player game played by a single user, a multi-player game played by a plurality of users, and among multi-play games, a battle game played by a plurality of users, a cooperative play game played by a plurality of users, and the like. May be.

  The user can play various quests while playing the game. A quest is a type of game stage (game content) in which an ally character associated with a user is used. In the game, the user is provided with stamina that is consumed to play the quest. Stamina is a game parameter that the user must consume to play the quest. The minimum value, the current value, and the upper limit value are set in the stamina. For each quest, the consumption value of the stamina required to play the quest and the experience value that the user can obtain when the quest is cleared are set. The user plays the quest by consuming the stamina value set in the quest out of the current stamina value. When the user clears the quest, the user acquires the experience value set in the quest. When the total of the experience values acquired by the user exceeds the first reference value, the rank of the user in the game is increased by one. The rank is a kind of game parameter that represents the relative height of each user in the game. In the present disclosure, increasing the rank may be referred to as ranking up.

  The user can obtain the diamond that can be used in the game based on the payment of the consideration by the user. The diamond is a paid game item (game medium, virtual currency) that can be used by the user to progress the game more favorably. In the present disclosure, a user uses a diamond to recover stamina during a game. In that sense, the diamond is a recovery medium (game medium) capable of recovering stamina. Diamonds are a type of consumer goods that disappears after use. Therefore, in the present disclosure, using a diamond is synonymous with consuming a diamond.

  When the current value of the stamina becomes less than the value required to play the quest, the user cannot newly play the quest. Stamina is automatically restored as time goes by within the range not exceeding the upper limit. If the user wants to recover the stamina without waiting for the recovery of the stamina over time, the user can recover the stamina by consuming the diamond within a range not exceeding the upper limit value. In the present disclosure, the value of the stamina that can be recovered per diamond is 5. Stamina is restored to the upper limit even when the rank is increased.

  The rank, the experience value, the lottery point, the diamond, and the stamina are all stored in the storage unit 120 as a kind of the user information 133. Specifically, the storage unit 120 stores the current rank of the user, the cumulative experience value acquired by the user, the number of diamonds held by the user, the value of the lottery points held by the user, the current value of the stamina, and the upper limit value of the stamina. Are memorized respectively.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a table 134 according to an embodiment. The table 134 is information for managing the stamina and the internal stamina (second parameter), and is stored in the storage unit 120 as a type of user information 133. The table 134 stores the current value of the stamina and the current value of the internal stamina. Internal stamina is managed independently of stamina. In FIG. 3, the current value of the stamina is 20, and the current value of the internal stamina is zero. Internal stamina, like stamina, is a type of parameter consumed to perform a quest. The quest executing unit 112 can execute the quest by consuming the internal stamina instead of the stamina. The quest executing unit 112 can also execute the quest by consuming both the stamina and the internal stamina. Details of these will be described later.

(Processing flow)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the user terminal 100 according to an embodiment based on the game program 131. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a game screen 31 according to an embodiment. A part or all of the series of processes illustrated in FIG. 5 may be executed by the server 200.

  The display control unit 116 displays the game screen 31 shown in FIG. 5, for example, on the display unit 152 during the game play. The game screen 31 shown in FIG. 5 includes a rank display column 41, an experience value display column 42, a diamond display column 43, a stamina display column 44, and a quest display column 45.

  The display control unit 116 displays the rank of the user in the rank display field 41. The display control unit 116 displays, in the experience value display field 42, the total of experience values that the user has already acquired and the total of experience values (first reference value) that need to be acquired in order to newly rank up. . In the experience value display field 42, the total of the acquired experience values and the total value of the experience values required for rank up are separated by a predetermined delimiter (slash). In the present disclosure, the total of experience values necessary for rank up may be simply referred to as a first reference value. The display control unit 116 displays the number of diamonds held by the user in the diamond display field 43. The display control unit 116 displays the stamina bar 46, the current stamina value, and the upper limit value in the stamina display field 44. In the stamina display field 44, the stamina current value and the upper limit value are separated by a predetermined delimiter (slash).

  The stamina bar 46 is display information that visually presents the current stamina value and the upper limit value to the user. In FIG. 5, the left end of the stamina bar 46 corresponds to the minimum value of the stamina, and the right end of the stamina bar 46 corresponds to the upper limit of the stamina. As shown in FIG. 5, when the rank is 5, the minimum stamina value is “0” and the maximum stamina value is “50”. The upper limit of stamina can be increased according to the progress of the game. The display control unit 116 colors the portion of the entire stamina bar 46 that corresponds to the current stamina value to the first color. The display control unit 116 colors the remaining portion of the stamina bar 46 to a second color different from the first color. The user can intuitively understand the current value of stamina by visually checking the stamina bar 46.

  In certain aspects of the present disclosure, internal stamina is a type of hidden parameter that a user may not know of its presence during a game. In FIG. 4, the display control unit 116 displays the current stamina value “20” stored in the table 134 shown in FIG. 3 in the stamina display field 44. The display control unit 116 does not display the current value “0” of the internal stamina stored in the table 134 in the stamina display field 44. The user can grasp the current value of stamina during the game, but cannot grasp the current value of internal stamina.

  The display control unit 116 displays the plurality of options 51 and 52 in the quest display field 45. The options 51 and 52 are display information corresponding to the quest executed when the option is selected by the user. The option 51 corresponds to the beginner quest, and the quest corresponds to the intermediate quest different from the beginner quest. The intermediate quest is a quest that consumes more stamina and is more difficult than the beginner quest, but instead gives you more valuable rewards. The user can play the beginner quest by spending only 5 stamina, and can gain only 50 experience points by clearing the beginner quest. The user can play the intermediate quest by consuming only 15 stamina, and can obtain only 200 experience points by clearing the intermediate quest. The options 51 and 52 include information (text) indicating the stamina value required for execution (play) of the corresponding quest and information (text) indicating the experience value given to the user when the quest is cleared. Including.

  In step S1, the operation reception unit 111 causes the user to select one of a plurality of quests that can be played in the game. Specifically, when the user's tap operation on the option 51 is detected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the beginner quest corresponding to the option 51 has been selected by the user. Alternatively, when the user's tap operation on the option 52 is detected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the intermediate quest corresponding to the option 52 has been selected by the user. In step S2, the quest executing unit 112 executes the quest selected by the user by consuming the first consumption value of the stamina required for executing the quest selected by the user. When the beginner quest is selected, the quest executing unit 112 executes the beginner quest by consuming the stamina of “5” necessary for playing the beginner quest. When the intermediate quest is selected, the quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest by consuming the stamina of “15” required for playing the intermediate quest. The user plays the quest selected by the user. Here, it is assumed that the intermediate quest is selected.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a table 134 according to an embodiment. If the intermediate quest is selected when the current value of the stamina is 20, the quest executing unit 112 consumes only 15 stamina stored in the table 134. At that time, the quest executing unit 112 subtracts the first consumption value “15” from the current value “20” of the stamina stored in the table 134 at the time of selecting the intermediate quest, so that the stamina of the stamina stored in the table 134 is reduced. The current value is updated to 5 as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. The display control unit 116 updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 in association with the update of the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134. In the example of FIG. 7, the display control unit 116 updates the current stamina value displayed in the stamina display field 44 to the current stamina value “5” stored in the table 134. The display control unit 116 further colors the portion of the entire stamina bar 46 corresponding to the current stamina value “5” with the first color and the rest with the second color.

  The timing of updating the stamina display field 44 may be before or after the execution of the quest. In the former example, when the stamina is consumed, the display control unit 116 updates the stamina display field 44 before the execution of the intermediate quest, thereby updating the stamina new current value “5” to the user. To notify. The quest execution unit 112 starts the execution of the intermediate quest after the notification of the new current value “5”. In the latter example, when the stamina is consumed, the quest executing unit 112 immediately starts executing the intermediate quest without waiting for the update of the stamina display field 44. The display control unit 116 notifies the user of the new current value “5” by updating the stamina display column 44 after the end of the intermediate quest.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a message 60 according to an embodiment. In step S3, the operation reception unit 111 performs the first operation for reducing the first consumption value of the stamina necessary for executing the quest to zero when the current value “5” is less than the first consumption value “15”. Accept from user. The operation reception unit 111 first receives a tap operation on the stamina display field 44 from the user. In response to the tap operation, the display control unit 116 displays the message 60 shown in FIG. 8 at an arbitrary position within the game screen 31. Message 60 includes notification text to the user and buttons 61 and 62. The notification text is the first text that asks the user whether or not the first consumption value required to execute the quest should be zero, and the number of diamonds required to make the first consumption value zero is ten. A second text explaining what is to the user. The message 60 is associated with the first number “10” of diamonds. The button 61 is a user interface that receives a first operation for making the first consumption value zero. The button 62 is a user interface that receives an operation for canceling setting the first consumption value to zero. The operation reception unit 111 receives a tap operation on the button 61 as a first operation for reducing the first consumption value required for executing the quest to zero.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the table 134 according to an embodiment. In step S4, the quest executing unit 112 reduces the first consumption value of the stamina to zero by consuming the diamond in response to the first operation. The quest execution unit 112 first specifies the first number “10” of diamonds associated with the message 60. The quest executing unit 112 consumes the first number "10" of diamonds to obtain the first consumption value "5" of the stamina required for executing the beginner quest and the first consumption stamina required for executing the intermediate quest. The values "15" are both reduced to zero. At that time, the quest execution unit 112 subtracts the first number “10” of diamonds from the number “100” of diamonds stored in the storage unit 120 to obtain the number of diamonds stored in the storage unit 120 by 90. To update.

  In step S5, the quest executing unit 112 increases the internal stamina in response to the first operation. The quest executing unit 112 first specifies the first recovery value “50” of the stamina that can be recovered by the first number “10”. The quest execution unit 112 updates the table 134 as shown in FIG. 9 based on the identified first recovery value “50”. In detail, the quest executing unit 112 adds the specified first recovery value “50” to the current value “0” of the internal stamina stored in the table 134 to thereby determine the internal stamina of the internal stamina stored in the table 134. Update the current value to 50.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a game screen 31 according to an embodiment. The display control unit 116 updates the game screen 31 as shown in FIG. 10 in response to the first operation. The display control unit 116 first updates the number of diamonds displayed in the diamond display column 43 to “10”, which is the number of diamonds stored in the storage unit 120. In step S6, the display control unit 116 changes the display mode of the game screen 31 according to the reduced first consumption value "0" as shown in FIG. The display control unit 116 changes the display mode of the stamina value required for executing the quest displayed in 45, for example, according to the reduced first consumption value “0”. In the example of FIG. 10, the display control unit 116 updates the stamina required for executing each quest displayed in the quest display column 45 to the reduced first consumption value “0”. The display control unit 116 does not update the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 as 5 because the stamina has not been recovered due to the consumption of the diamond.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the table 134 according to an embodiment. In step S7, the operation reception unit 111 causes the user to select one of the quests. Here, the operation receiving unit 111 identifies that the intermediate quest has been selected by the user by detecting the user's tap operation on the option 52. In step S8, the quest execution unit 112 executes the intermediate quest without consuming stamina in response to the selection of the intermediate quest. Specifically, the quest execution unit 112 consumes the internal stamina by the second consumption value “15” of the internal stamina equal to the first consumption value “15” before the reduction, which is necessary for executing the intermediate quest. Perform the quest. At this time, the quest executing unit 112 subtracts the second consumption value “15” from the current value “50” of the internal stamina stored in the table 134, so that the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134 becomes 35. To update.

  In the example of FIG. 11, the quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest without consuming the stamina. Therefore, the quest executing unit 112 does not update the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134 as 5. The display unit 152 displays the stamina current value displayed in the stamina display column 44 in FIG. 7 in spite of the fact that the intermediate quest has been executed because the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134 remains unchanged at 5. As shown, it is 5 and is not updated.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the table 134 according to an embodiment. FIG. 12 (A) shows the table 134 at the first time point, FIG. 12 (B) shows the table 134 at the time point when the stamina has automatically recovered, and FIG. 12 (C) shows that the stamina has further recovered automatically. Table 134 at time point is shown. In step S9, the stamina recovery unit 114 automatically recovers stamina within a range that does not exceed the upper limit of stamina, as time passes. In step S10, the stamina recovery unit 114 maintains the current value of the internal stamina at the same value regardless of the elapsed time. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers stamina by 1 each time a prescribed reference time has elapsed. At that time, the stamina recovery unit 114 increases the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134 by adding 1 to the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134 every time the reference time elapses. The stamina recovery unit 114 further does not change the current value of the internal stamina stored in the table 134 regardless of the elapse of the reference time.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, it is assumed that the current stamina value “5” and the current stamina value “35” are stored in the table 134 at the first time point. When the reference time has elapsed from the first time point, the stamina recovery unit 114 adds 1 to the current stamina value “5” stored in the table 134 to calculate the current stamina value stored in the table 134. Update to 6 as shown in 12 (B). The stamina recovery unit 114 adds 1 to the stamina current value “6” stored in the table 134 to add 1 to the table 134 when the reference time further elapses after the stamina current value is automatically recovered to 6. The current value of the stamina stored in is updated to 7 as shown in FIG. The quest executing unit 112 maintains the current value of the internal stamina stored in the table 134 at 35 as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C even when the reference time has elapsed.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. FIG. 13 (A) shows the stamina display column 44 at the first time point, FIG. 13 (B) shows the stamina display column 44 at the time when the stamina is automatically recovered, and FIG. 13 (C) shows the stamina display column 44. The stamina display column 44 at the time of automatic recovery is shown. When the stamina is automatically recovered with the passage of time, the display control unit 116 updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 to the value after the automatic recovery as shown in FIG. 13 as needed. The display control unit 116 updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 in association with the update of the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134. At the first time point, the display control unit 116 displays the current stamina value “5” stored in the table 134 in the stamina display field 44 as shown in FIG. When the current stamina value stored in the table 134 is updated to 6, the display control unit 116 updates the current stamina value displayed in the stamina display field 44 to 6 as shown in FIG. 13B. To do. When the current stamina value stored in the table 134 is updated to 7, the display control unit 116 updates the current stamina value displayed in the stamina display field 44 to 7 as shown in FIG. .

(Main effects)
The first stamina cost required to complete a quest is reduced by diamond consumption. As a result, the user can play the quest with less stamina or no stamina at all. This can increase the opportunity for the user to play a quest that consumes stamina and can be played.

  Consuming diamonds does not restore stamina, but increases internal stamina. Therefore, the stamina will not exceed the upper limit and be recovered by the consumption of the diamond. In addition, all of the stamina value recoverable by consuming diamonds will be devoted to internal stamina, allowing the user to play quests by consuming internal stamina instead of stamina. Therefore, the user can increase the chance of playing the quest without wasting the diamond.

  Even if the sum of the current value of stamina and the current value of internal stamina is greater than or equal to the upper limit of stamina, stamina will automatically recover over time as long as the current value of stamina is below the upper limit. As a result, it is possible to increase the chances of automatically recovering the stamina as compared with the conventional technique of overflow recovery of the stamina, and thus to give the user more opportunities to play the quest.

  Since the internal stamina is not displayed on the game screen 31, the user does not know the fact that the internal stamina is consumed instead of the stamina when executing the quest. Therefore, the user can realize that the consumption of the diamond allows the user to play the intermediate quest without consuming the stamina.

  The display mode of the game screen 31 changes according to the reduced first consumption value “0”. Therefore, the user can certainly grasp the fact that the first consumption value has decreased by visually checking the changed game screen 31.

(Modification)
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a table 134 according to an embodiment. In FIG. 14, the table 134 stores the current value of the stamina “10” and the current value of the internal stamina “5”. Therefore, the current value of the internal stamina of "5" is lower than the second consumption value of the internal stamina of "15" required for executing the intermediate quest. In this case, the quest executing unit 112 cannot execute the intermediate quest by consuming the internal stamina. If the current value of the internal stamina is less than the second consumption value of the internal stamina required to execute the intermediate quest, the quest execution unit 112 reduces the first consumption value “0 after the decrease of the stamina required to execute the intermediate quest. Is returned to the first consumption value “15” before the decrease. The stamina recovery unit 114 determines that the current value of the internal stamina "5" is equal to or greater than the second consumption value "5" of the internal stamina required for executing the beginner quest, and thus the stamina required for executing the beginner quest is reduced. The first consumption value "0" is maintained at zero after the decrease.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a game screen 31 according to an embodiment. The display control unit 116 notifies the user that the first consumption value of the stamina required for executing the intermediate quest has returned to 15 before the decrease, as shown in FIG. Specifically, the display control unit 116 returns the stamina value required for executing the intermediate quest displayed in the quest display field 45 to the original value of 15. As a result, the user recognizes that the intermediate quest cannot be played without consuming the stamina. In this example, the game system 1 can allow the user to play the intermediate quest a suitable number of times according to the number of diamonds consumed by the user, so that the game balance can be appropriately maintained.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a game screen 31 according to an embodiment. In response to the first operation, the quest executing unit 112 can also reduce the first consumption value of the stamina required for executing the quest to another value larger than zero. In the example of FIG. 16, the quest executing unit 112 consumes the first number “10” of diamonds to obtain the first consumption value “5” of the stamina necessary for executing the beginner quest and the execution of the intermediate quest. The first consumption value "15" of each stamina is reduced to 1. In response to the first operation, the stamina recovery unit 114 adds the first recovery value “50” corresponding to the first number “10” of diamonds to the current value “0” of the internal stamina stored in the table 134. By doing so, the current value of the internal stamina stored in the table 134 is updated to 50 as shown in FIG.

  When the first consumption value decreases, the display control unit 116 updates the game screen 31 as shown in FIG. Specifically, the display unit 152 updates the number of diamonds displayed in the diamond display column 43 to 90, and updates the stamina value required to execute each quest displayed in the quest display column 45 to 1. . The user visually recognizes the game screen 31 shown in FIG. 10 to recognize that the stamina required for playing each quest has been reduced to 1.

  When the intermediate quest is selected by the user on the game screen 31 shown in FIG. 16, the quest executing unit 112 consumes both the stamina and the internal stamina to execute the intermediate quest. The quest executing unit 112 first specifies the consumption difference “14” of the stamina by subtracting the reduced first consumption value “1” from the reduced first consumption value “15”. The quest execution unit 112 consumes the stamina by the reduced first consumption value “1” and the internal stamina by the second consumption value “14” of the internal stamina equal to the consumption difference “14”. , Perform intermediate quests.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the table 134 according to an embodiment. When executing the intermediate quest by consuming both the stamina and the internal stamina, the quest executing unit 112 updates the table 134 as shown in FIG. In detail, the quest execution unit 112 subtracts the reduced first consumption value “1” from the current stamina value “5” stored in the table 134 to obtain the current stamina current value stored in the table 134. Update the value to 4. The quest executing unit 112 further subtracts the second consumption value “14” from the current value “50” of the internal stamina stored in the table 134 to reduce the current value of the stamina stored in the table 134 to 36. Update.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. When the table 134 is updated as shown in FIG. 17, the display control unit 116 updates the stamina display column 44 as shown in FIG. Specifically, the display control unit 116 updates the current stamina value displayed in the stamina display field 44 to the current stamina value “4” stored in the table 134. Since the internal stamina is not displayed on the game screen 31, the user does not know the fact that the internal stamina stored in the table 134 is consumed with the stamina. From these things, the user can realize that the consumption of the diamond allows the user to play the intermediate quest by consuming only one stamina.

(Other examples)
The quest executing unit 112 can also reduce the first consumption value of the stamina by consuming the consideration paid by the user. For example, it is assumed that the user can obtain five diamonds by paying 100 yen. In this case, the stamina value recoverable by paying 200 yen is 50. The quest executing unit 112 consumes 200 yen instead of the diamond to reduce the first consumption value of the stamina required for executing the quest. The consumption of 200 yen here means charging the user 200 yen.

  The quest executing unit 112 can increase the internal stamina by an arbitrary value by consuming the diamond. The quest execution unit 112, for example, by consuming the first number "10" of diamonds, the second recovery value smaller than the first recovery value "50" of the stamina that can be recovered by the consumption of the first number "10". The internal stamina may be increased by a third recovery value “60” that is greater than “40” or the first recovery value “50”.

  The display control unit 116 can also display the current value of the internal stamina in the stamina display field 44. When displaying the internal stamina, the display control unit 116 displays the second consumption value of the internal stamina required for executing the quest in the quest display field 45.

  The quest executing unit 112 can execute the quest by consuming an arbitrary second consumption value of the internal stamina according to the reduced first consumption value of the stamina. For example, when the quest execution unit 112 reduces the first consumption value of the stamina required for executing the intermediate quest to zero, the internal stamina is set to the second consumption value different from the first consumption value “15” before the reduction. The intermediate quest can be executed by consuming only the consumption value "10". For example, when the quest execution unit 112 reduces the first consumption value corresponding to the intermediate quest to 1, the internal stamina is consumed by the second consumption value "9" different from the consumption difference "14" of the stamina. You can perform an intermediate quest.

  The quest executing unit 112 can reduce the first consumption value to zero by consuming the diamond without increasing the internal stamina. In this case, the quest executing unit 112 executes the quest without consuming both the stamina and the internal stamina until a predetermined time elapses after the first consumption value decreases to zero. The quest executing unit 112 returns the first consumption value of the stamina necessary for executing the quest to the original value when a certain time has elapsed after the first consumption value decreased to zero. As a result, the user can play the quest indefinitely until a certain period of time elapses after using the diamond. Therefore, the user can be motivated to concentrate and play many quests within a fixed time.

  The quest executing unit 112 can reduce the first consumption value of the stamina required for executing the quest instead of recovering the stamina to the upper limit value at the time of rank up. The quest executing unit 112 reduces the first consumption value and increases the internal stamina without recovering the stamina, for example, at the time of rank up. In this example, since the first consumption value decreases after rank up, the user can play more quests after rank up as in the case of recovering stamina by rank up. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the user to actively rank up.

  When the first consumption value decreases in response to the first operation, the display control unit 116 changes the display mode of the game screen 31 to any other display corresponding to the reduced first consumption value. You can Updating the stamina value displayed in the quest display field 45 to the reduced first consumption value is an example of changing the display mode of the game screen 31.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the user terminal 100 according to an embodiment based on the game program 131. FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a game screen 31 according to an embodiment. A part or all of the series of processing illustrated in FIG. 19 may be executed by the server 200.

  The display control unit 116 displays the game screen 31 shown in FIG. 20, for example, on the display unit 152 during the game play. Since game screen 31 shown in FIG. 20 is the same as game screen 31 shown in FIG. 5, detailed description thereof will not be repeated. In step S11, the operation reception unit 111 causes the user to select one of a plurality of quests that can be played in the game. Here, it is assumed that the intermediate quest is selected. In step S12, the quest executing unit 112 determines whether or not the current stamina value "20" is equal to or higher than the stamina first consumption value "15" required to execute the intermediate quest. Since the current value "20"> the first consumption value "15" here, the determination result in step S12 is YES. As a result, in step S13, the quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest by consuming the stamina by the first consumption value “15”. In this embodiment, the storage unit 120 does not store the table 134. The current stamina value is stored in the storage unit 120. The quest executing unit 112 subtracts the first consumption value “5” from the current stamina value “20” stored in the storage unit 120, thereby reducing the current stamina value stored in the storage unit 120 to 5 To update.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. When the intermediate quest is executed, the display control unit 116 sets the current stamina value displayed in the stamina display field 44 to the current stamina value “5” stored in the storage unit 120, as shown in FIG. To update. The display control unit 116 further colors the portion of the entire stamina bar 46 corresponding to the current stamina value “5” with the first color and the rest with the second color.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a message 70 according to an embodiment. It is assumed that the user newly selects the intermediate quest when the current stamina value is 5. In this case, since the current value of the stamina is “5” <the first consumption value “15”, the determination result of step S12 is NO. Therefore, the quest execution unit 112 suppresses the execution of the intermediate quest. In other words, the quest executing unit 112 does not execute the intermediate quest only by selecting the intermediate quest.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a message 60 according to an embodiment. When the determination result of step S12 is NO, the display control unit 116 displays the message 70 shown in FIG. 22 at an arbitrary position in the game screen 31. Message 70 includes notification text to the user and buttons 71 and 72. The notification text is the first text that explains to the user that there is not enough stamina to play the intermediate quest, the second text that asks the user whether to execute the intermediate quest while recovering the stamina, and the stamina. The third text explaining to the user that the number of diamonds required to execute the intermediate quest while recovering is 10. The message 70 is associated with the first number “10” of diamonds. The button 71 is a user interface that accepts a first operation for enabling execution of an intermediate quest under the first condition. Here, the first condition is consumption of diamonds. The button 72 is a user interface that accepts an operation for canceling execution of the intermediate quest according to the first condition. In step S14, the operation reception unit 111 receives the tap operation on the button 61 as the first operation that enables the intermediate quest to be executed under the first condition.

  The stamina recovery unit 114 specifies the first number “10” of diamonds associated with the message 70 in response to the first operation. The first number “10” of diamonds is the number of stamina that can be recovered by the first recovery value “50”. In step S15, the stamina recovery unit 114, in response to the first operation, subtracts the current stamina value "5" from the stamina first consumption value "15" required to execute the intermediate quest, thereby reducing the stamina's current value. The second consumption value “10” is specified. In step S16, the stamina recovery unit 114 subtracts the second consumption value "10" from the first recovery value "50" corresponding to the first number "10" to obtain the second recovery value "40" of the stamina. Identify. In step S17, the quest execution unit 112 consumes the first number “10” of diamonds as a process according to the first condition in response to the first operation. At that time, the stamina recovery unit 114 subtracts the first number “10” of diamonds from the number “100” of diamonds stored in the storage unit 120, so that the number of diamonds stored in the storage unit 120 is 90. To update. In step S18, the quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest by consuming the stamina by the current value “5” in response to the first operation. At that time, the stamina recovery unit 114 subtracts the current value “5” from the current value “5” of the stamina stored in the storage unit 120 to reduce the current value of the stamina stored in the storage unit 120 to zero. Update. In this way, the quest executing unit 112 executes the quest when the first condition of consumption of the diamond is satisfied.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a diamond display field 43 and a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. FIG. 23 (A) shows the diamond display column 43 and the stamina display column 44 immediately after the stamina has been consumed, and FIG. 23 (B) shows the diamond display column 43 after the intermediate quest is executed according to the first condition. A stamina display column 44 is shown. When the diamond and the stamina are consumed, the display control unit 116 updates the diamond display column 43 and the stamina display column 44 as shown in FIG. 23A before the execution of the intermediate quest. In detail, the display control unit 116 updates the number of diamonds displayed in the diamond display field 43 to 90 and updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 to zero. To do. The display control unit 116 further colors the entire stamina bar 46 in the second color. In this way, the display control unit 116 notifies the user that the current value of the stamina has once decreased to zero before the start of the quest. The quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest after the stamina display column 44 is updated as shown in FIG. 23 (A).

  In step S19, in response to the first operation, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina to a value less than the upper limit “50”. In the example of FIG. 23, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina up to 40 by recovering the stamina by the second recovery value “40”. After the intermediate quest ends, the display control unit 116 updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 to 40 as shown in FIG. The display control unit 116 further colors the portion of the entire stamina bar 46 corresponding to the current stamina value “40” with the first color and the rest with the second color.

(Main effects)
The quest executing unit 112 should consume the current value of stamina "5" even if the current value of stamina "5" is less than the first consumption value "15" of stamina required for executing the intermediate quest. Perform an intermediate quest by. Therefore, the user can play the intermediate quest even if the stamina for playing the intermediate quest is insufficient. This can increase the opportunity for the user to play a quest that consumes stamina and can be played.

  If 10 diamonds are consumed when the current stamina value is "5", the stamina recovery unit 114 temporarily reduces the current stamina value to zero, and then recovers the current stamina value to 40. Therefore, the stamina will not be recovered beyond the upper limit "50" based on the diamond consumption. The user visually recognizes that the stamina decreases from 5 to zero and then recovers to 40, and thus recognizes that the stamina has not exceeded the upper limit value and has not recovered.

  The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina by the second recovery value "40" in response to the first operation capable of recovering the stamina by the first recovery value "50". At this time, since the stamina is consumed by the current value "5" for the execution of the intermediate quest, the remaining stamina value "10" of the first recovery value "50" is effectively the execution of the intermediate quest. Has been devoted to. The user does not waste the remaining stamina value “10” that was not used for stamina recovery, and thus does not have to complain that the stamina was not sufficiently recovered.

  The user can play the intermediate quest by consuming the diamond even if the stamina required for playing the intermediate quest is insufficient. Therefore, the game system 1 can motivate the user to actively consume the diamond.

(Modification)
FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a diamond display field 43 and a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. FIG. 24 (A) shows the diamond display column 43 and stamina display column 44 before the intermediate quest is executed, and FIG. 24 (B) is the diamond display column 43 and stamina display column after the intermediate quest is executed. 44 is shown. In the example of FIG. 24, the control unit 110 executes the following series of processes in response to the first operation. The stamina recovery unit 114 specifies the second recovery value "35" of the stamina by subtracting the first consumption value "15" from the first recovery value "50". In response to the first operation, the quest executing unit 112 consumes only 10 diamonds as a process according to the first condition. The quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest without consuming stamina. The display control unit 116 updates the number of diamonds displayed in the diamond display column 43 to 90 as shown in FIG. 24A before the execution of the intermediate quest. The display control unit 116 notifies the user that the stamina is not consumed when executing the quest by not updating the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44.

  The quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest after the diamond display field 43 is updated as shown in FIG. 24 (A). After executing the quest, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina up to 40 by recovering the stamina by the second recovery value “35”. The display control unit 116 updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 to 40 as shown in FIG. 24 (B). The display control unit 116 further colors the portion of the entire stamina bar 46 corresponding to the current stamina value “40” with the first color and the rest with the second color.

  In the example of FIG. 24, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina up to 40 when 10 diamonds are consumed when the current stamina value is “5”. Therefore, the stamina recovery unit 114 does not recover the stamina beyond the upper limit “50” based on the diamond consumption. The user visually recognizes that the current value of the stamina changes from 5 to 40 as shown in FIG. 24, and thus understands that the stamina exceeds the upper limit value “50” and does not recover.

  In the example of FIG. 24, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina by the second recovery value “35” in response to the first operation capable of recovering the stamina by the first recovery value “50”. At this time, since the stamina is not consumed for executing the intermediate quest, the remaining stamina value "15" of the first recovery value "50" is effectively used for executing the intermediate quest. The user does not waste the remaining stamina value “15” that was not used for stamina recovery, and thus does not have to complain that the stamina was not sufficiently recovered.

(Other examples)
The first condition may be the consumption of consideration paid by the user. For example, it is assumed that the user can obtain five diamonds by paying 100 yen. The stamina value that can be recovered by paying 200 yen is 50. When the current value “5” is less than the first consumption value “15”, the operation reception unit 111 performs the first operation for directly paying 200 yen and recovering 50 stamina without consuming a diamond. Accept from user. In response to the first operation, the quest executing unit 112 executes the process of consuming 200 yen as the process according to the first condition. The process of consuming 200 yen here means a process of charging the user 200 yen. The quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest by consuming the stamina by the current value “5” in response to the execution of the charging process. The stamina recovery unit 114 first recovers the stamina's second consumption value "10" by subtracting the current value "5" from the first consumption value "15" in response to the execution of the charging process. The stamina second recovery value "40" subtracted from the value "50" is recovered.

  The stamina recovery unit 114 may also recover the stamina without consuming the diamond in response to the first operation. The item giving unit 115 gives, for example, a recovery item capable of recovering 50 stamina to the user free of charge. The operation reception unit 111 receives the first operation for recovering 50 stamina by consuming one recovery item. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina by the second recovery value “40” by consuming one recovery item. In this example, the user can play the intermediate quest while recovering the stamina for free.

  The stamina recovery unit 114 can recover the stamina to the upper limit value when the user fails to play the quest executed under the first condition. Specifically, the stamina recovery unit 114 responds to the first operation by recovering the stamina by the second recovery value “40”, and then, if the user fails to clear the intermediate quest executed under the first condition, the stamina recovery unit 114 Is further recovered by a third recovery value “10” obtained by subtracting the current value “5” from the first consumption value “15”. As a result, if the user fails to play the quest, the stamina is restored to the upper limit value "50" without exceeding the upper limit value "50". When the user fails to clear the quest, the user does not needlessly lose a portion of the first consumption value “50” that has not been allocated for stamina recovery.

  The stamina recovery unit 114 can automatically recover stamina within a range not exceeding the upper limit of stamina as time passes. When the stamina is recovered in response to the first operation, the stamina will not be recovered beyond the upper limit of the stamina. Therefore, according to an aspect of the present disclosure, the stamina is automatically recovered more frequently than in the related art in which the stamina is overflow-recovered, so that the user can be given more opportunities to play the quest.

To do.

(Main effects)
Even if the current value of stamina is less than the first consumption value of stamina required to execute the intermediate quest, the stamina is reduced to a negative value "-10", but the intermediate quest can be played. Therefore, the user can play the intermediate quest even if the stamina for playing the intermediate quest is insufficient. This can increase the opportunity for the user to play a quest that consumes stamina and can be played.

  If the current value of stamina falls below zero, the automatic recovery of stamina is disadvantageous to the user, so it is possible to stop trying to play the quest unnecessarily when the stamina is insufficient. If the diamond is consumed when the automatic recovery of the stamina in the second state is disadvantageous to the user, the disadvantage is alleviated or eliminated. Therefore, the game system 1 actively consumes the diamond. Motivate the user.

(Modification)
FIG. 33 is a diagram showing a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. FIG. 33 (A) shows the stamina display column 44 at the first time point, and FIG. 33 (B) shows the stamina display column 44 at the time point when the first time passes while the automatic recovery of the stamina is prohibited. FIG. 33C shows the stamina display column 44 when the automatic recovery prohibition of stamina is released when the first time has elapsed. In the example of FIG. 33, the stamina recovery unit 114 consumes one diamond so as to change the stamina according to the elapsed time from the time when the stamina is reduced to the negative value “−10” to the time when the diamond is consumed. Restores only the first consumption value of Stamina. First, the stamina recovery unit 114 identifies the first time point when the stamina is reduced to the negative value "-10" as shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the first time has elapsed from the first time point while the automatic recovery of the stamina is prohibited. The display control unit 116 does not update the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 as -10 at the time when the first time elapses, as shown in FIG. 33 (B).

  Immediately after the first time has elapsed, the operation reception unit 111 receives a first operation for alleviating or eliminating the disadvantage from the user. The stamina recovery unit 114 identifies the second time point when the first operation is accepted. The stamina recovery unit 114 identifies the first time that is the elapsed time from the first time point to the second time point. It is assumed that 40 times the reference time is specified as the first time. In this case, the first recovery value, which is the total value of the stamina that can be automatically recovered as the first time elapses, is 40. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina by the first recovery value “40” corresponding to the first time by consuming one diamond in response to the first operation. At that time, the stamina recovery unit 114 adds the first recovery value “40” to the current stamina value “−10” stored in the storage unit 120 to obtain the current stamina value stored in the storage unit 120. Is updated to 30. The display control unit 116 updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 to 30 as shown in FIG. 33 (C). The display control unit 116 further colors the portion of the entire stamina bar 46 corresponding to the current stamina value “30” with the first color and the rest with the second color.

  If the current value of the stamina is zero or more, the stamina is automatically recovered by the maximum first recovery value “40” as the first time elapses. In the example of FIG. 33, if the diamond is consumed at the time when the first time elapses without the stamina being automatically recovered, the first recovery value “40” that is not recovered during the elapse of the first time is the stamina. Is added to the current value of. As a result, the game system 1 can effectively prevent prohibition of automatic recovery while the current stamina value is below zero due to consumption of a diamond. Therefore, the user can be more strongly motivated to consume the timetable and alleviate or eliminate the disadvantage of automatic recovery.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram showing a message 90 according to an embodiment. The operation receiving unit 111 can receive the second operation for recovering the stamina. The operation receiving unit 111 receives, for example, a user's tap operation on the stamina display field 44. When the tap operation on the stamina display field 44 is accepted, the display control unit 116 displays the message 90 shown in FIG. 34 at an arbitrary position in the game screen 31. The message 90 includes a text asking the user how many diamonds to use for stamina recovery, and a plurality of options 91 and 92. Options 91 and 92 correspond to the number of diamonds consumed to recover stamina. The options 91 and 92 specifically correspond to 5 and 10 diamonds, respectively.

  The operation receiving unit 111 receives the operation for selecting the option 91 or 92 as the second operation for recovering the stamina. The operation reception unit 111 identifies the number of diamonds corresponding to the option selected by the user as the first number designated by the user. When the option 91 is selected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the user has designated five diamonds. When the option 92 is selected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the user has designated 10 diamonds.

  FIG. 35 is a diagram showing a stamina display field 44 according to an embodiment. FIG. 35 (A) shows the stamina display column 44 before stamina recovery, and FIG. 35 (B) shows the stamina display column 44 after stamina recovery. In FIG. 35A, the current stamina value is -10. Here, it is assumed that the user selects the option 92. In response to the second operation, the stamina recovery unit 114 consumes the first number "10" of diamonds capable of recovering the stamina by the first recovery value "50", thereby irrespective of the current stamina value. Restores stamina to a recovery value of "50". At that time, the stamina recovery unit 114 updates the current stamina value “−10” stored in the storage unit 120 to 50. The display control unit 116 updates the current value of the stamina displayed in the stamina display field 44 to 50 as shown in FIG. The display control unit 116 further colors the entire stamina bar 46 to the first color.

  In the example of FIG. 35, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers stamina by 60, which is more than 50, by consuming 10 diamonds. At this time, when the stamina is less than zero, the recovery efficiency of the stamina per diamond is higher than the recovery efficiency when the stamina is zero or more. Therefore, the game system 1 can motivate the user to positively consume the diamond and recover the stamina when the stamina is less than zero.

(Other examples)
In the second state, the stamina recovery unit 114 can make the user's automatic recovery of stamina according to the passage of time to any degree unfavorable as compared with the case of the first state. The stamina recovery unit 114 can make automatic recovery that is lapsed over time disadvantageous, for example, by making the second recovery speed slower than the first recovery speed. The process of setting the second recovery speed to zero described above is an example of the process of setting the second recovery speed to be slower than the first recovery speed. The quest executing unit 112 can also slow the second recovery speed to an arbitrary speed that is higher than zero but lower than the first recovery speed. In this case, in the second state, the stamina automatically recovers more slowly than in the first state. Therefore, automatic recovery according to the passage of time in the second state is disadvantageous to the user.

  The stamina recovery unit 114 can mitigate or eliminate the disadvantage of automatic recovery in the second state in response to the first operation. The above-described process of matching the second recovery speed with the first recovery speed is an example of a process of eliminating the disadvantage of automatic recovery. In this case, since the stamina is automatically recovered in the second state at the same speed as in the first state, the user is not disadvantaged in the automatic recovery. In addition, the stamina recovery unit 114 can alleviate the disadvantage of automatic recovery by making the second recovery speed not closer to the first recovery speed but closer to the first recovery speed. In this case, the recovery speed of the stamina in the second state is faster than that before the response to the first operation, and therefore the disadvantage of automatic recovery is mitigated.

  The stamina recovery unit 114 can also alleviate or eliminate the disadvantage in response to the first operation without consuming the timetable. The item giving unit 115 gives the user, for example, a game item for alleviating or eliminating the disadvantage free of charge. In response to the first operation, the stamina recovery unit 114 consumes one game item instead of the diamond to alleviate or eliminate the disadvantage of the automatic stamina recovery when the current stamina value is less than zero. be able to. In this case, the user can save the consumption of paid diamonds.

  The quest executing unit 112 can also execute the quest only when the current value of the stamina is zero or more. The quest execution unit 112, for example, prohibits the execution of a new quest when the current value of the stamina is less than zero. This can prevent the user from playing the quest indefinitely without recovering the stamina, so that the game balance can be appropriately maintained. Additionally, the user can be motivated to regain stamina to be able to play the quest again.

  In the second state, the display control unit 116 can notify the user in any manner that the automatic recovery of the stamina is disadvantageous to the user. The display control unit 116, for example, puts information such as a text or an image, which explains that automatic recovery of stamina is disadvantageous, at an arbitrary position in the game screen 31 (preferably a position in the stamina display field 44). indicate. This allows the user to easily understand that automatic recovery of stamina is disadvantageous to the user.
