To. In the following description, the same elements are designated by the same reference numerals in the description of the drawings, and duplicate 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 in the figure, the game system 1 includes a plurality of user terminals 100 and a server 200. Each user terminal 100 connects to the server 200 via the network 2. The network 2 is composed of 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 wireless networks (for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark)) that can be connected to the Internet by a predetermined access point. Be done.

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 configurations 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 shown in the figure, 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. It is provided with 18. These configurations included in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus. The user terminal 100 may be provided with an input / output IF 14 to which a display (display unit 152) configured separately from the user terminal 100 main body can be connected in place of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be communicable 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 transmits the output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

In addition, instead of or in addition to the user terminal 100 including the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the controller 1020 may have the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

For example, at the start of a game, it is desirable that the user terminal 100 causes a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as the user's name or login ID via the controller 1020. As a result, the user terminal 100 can associate the controller 1020 with the user, and identifies which user the output value belongs to based on the source of the received output value (controller 1020). be able to.

When the user terminal 100 communicates with a plurality of controllers 1020, each user holds each controller 1020 so that the one user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2. 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 (communication connection is made without going through a server 200), thereby realizing local multiplayer with a plurality of user terminals 100. You can also do it. When the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions described later described in the server 200. Further, when the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally by the plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions described later described in the server 200 in a distributed manner.

Even when the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally, the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200. For example, information indicating a play result such as a result or victory or defeat in a certain game may be associated with user identification information and transmitted to the server 200.

Further, the controller 1020 may be configured to be detachable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a coupling portion 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 coupling portion, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 transmit and receive signals via wire.

As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may accept the attachment of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input / output IF14. As a result, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded on the storage medium 1030. The program recorded on 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 may store the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 in the memory 11. You may memorize it in.

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

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 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, a user's hand as an object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and an input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. To. More specifically, when the user's hand is detected from the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 inputs a gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image. Identify and accept as. The captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

Alternatively, when the operation unit is composed of 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 is composed of the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts a signal (for example, an output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as an input operation of the user. Alternatively, when the operation unit is composed of the input / output IF14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input / output IF14 is specified and accepted as a user 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. 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 the storage 12 described later and expands it into the memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from the storage 22 described later and expands it into the memory 21 described later. Processor 10 and processor 20 execute the expanded program.

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

In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game in collaboration with the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game in collaboration with a plurality of user terminals 100. Further, the various data include data related to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications to be transmitted / 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 composed of a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data related to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

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

The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to accept data input, and an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like of the user terminal 100. The input / output IF24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input, and an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit 152 that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines an input unit 151 and a display unit 152. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is composed of, 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 where a user's operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input to the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has a function to transmit as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method.

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, an angular velocity sensor, or the like. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can also specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, the processor 10 may be a 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 horizontally, it may be a horizontal screen display in which a horizontally long image is displayed on the display unit 152. In this way, the processor 10 may be able to switch 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 generates a captured image by converting the incident light incident from the lens into an electric signal.

The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the object to be measured. The ranging 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 target by the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated by the light emitted from the light source being reflected by the measurement target. The distance measuring sensor 18 may have 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 by using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an input operation of the user will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100, for example. A ranging sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of 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 irradiates infrared rays, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. As a result, the accuracy of detecting an object based on the captured image of 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 processes shown in the following (1) to (5), for example, on the captured image of the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to identify whether or not the captured image includes a user's hand. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique adopted in the above-mentioned image recognition process. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 specifies, for example, 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. The processor 10 further identifies the gesture performed by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a "par" gesture in rock-paper-scissors when the number of fingers is five. Further, when the number of fingers is 0 (the fingers are not detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “goo” gesture in rock-paper-scissors. Further, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a "choki" gesture in rock-paper-scissors. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the index finger is raised or the user's finger is repelled. .. (4) The processor 10 is an object 1010 (user's hand or the like) in the vicinity of 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 away (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand specified from the image captured by the camera 17. Detect whether it is at the above distance). When 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) When it is found that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand is changing while the user's hand is detected based on the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17, the processor 10 recognizes that the user is waving his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is detected or not detected in the distance measuring sensor 18 having a stronger directivity than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 determines that the user is waving his / her hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

In this way, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is holding a hand (whether it is a “goo” gesture or another gesture (for example, “par”) by recognizing an image captured by the camera 17. ) Is detected. The processor 10 also detects the shape of the user's hand and how the user is moving the hand. In addition, the processor 10 detects whether the user is approaching or moving this hand toward or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch screen, for example. For example, the user terminal 100 moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture “goo”. 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, the state in which the mouse is clicked and pressed, or the state in which the touch screen is touched after the touch-down operation is performed. .. Further, when the user further moves his / her hand while the user's gesture "goo" is detected, the user terminal 100 performs such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to a swipe operation (or a drag operation). It can also be recognized. Further, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that the user flips a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand by the image captured by the camera 17, the gesture is clicked by the mouse or tapped on the touch screen. It may be recognized as an operation corresponding to the operation.

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

The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device that accepts a user's input operation and a function as an output device that outputs a game image or sound. The user terminal 100 functions as a control unit 110 and a 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 120 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 related to the user's account.

The control unit 110 comprehensively 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 to send and receive information as needed while the game is in progress.

The control unit 110 functions as an operation reception unit 111, a game execution unit 112, a character control unit 113, a parameter management unit 114, a stamina recovery unit 115, and a 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 advance the game, depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

The operation reception unit 111 accepts a user's input operation 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 approaches the touch screen 15 as the coordinates of the coordinate system including the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the surface constituting the touch screen 15. For example, the operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation for 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 reception unit 111 specifies, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, and the like as types of input operations. Further, the operation reception 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 reception unit 111 is, for example, (1) "approach operation", (2) "release operation", (3) "tap operation", (4) "double tap operation", (5) "long press operation (long press operation)". "Touch operation", (6) "Drag operation (swipe operation)", (7) "Move operation", (8) "Flick operation", and other user operations are discriminated. The user's 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 magnitude of the pressure pressed by the user against the touch screen 15, the operation reception unit 111 determines the magnitude of the pressure pressed by the user.

(1) The "approaching operation" is an operation in which the user brings a finger or the like close to the touch screen 15. The touch screen 15 detects that the user's finger or the like approaches (including the user's finger or the like touching the touch screen 15) by the touch screen 15, and controls a signal according to the coordinates of the detected touch screen 15. Output to unit 110. The control unit 110 determines that the state has changed to 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) The "release operation" is an operation of stopping the state in which the user is approaching the touch screen 15. The operation reception unit 111 determines that the user's operation is a "release operation" when, for example, the user releases the finger from the state where the user is in contact with the touch screen 15. The control unit 110 determines that the state has changed from the "touch-on state" to the "touch-off state" when the state of detecting the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 15 is changed to the state of not detecting the approach. To do.

(3) The "tap operation" is to perform a release operation at a position where the user has made an approach operation to bring a finger or the like closer to the touch screen 15. The operation reception unit 111 outputs the touch screen 15 from a state in which an 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 approaches based on the above, the detected coordinates are held as the "initial touch position". In the operation receiving unit 111, when the coordinates of the initial touch position and the coordinates of the release operation are substantially the same (when the coordinates of the release operation are detected within a certain range from the coordinates where the approach operation is detected). In addition, the user's 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 reception unit 111 determines the tap operation again based on the coordinates related to the tap operation within a certain period of time after determining the user operation as a tap operation, the operation reception unit 111 determines the user operation as a "double tap operation". To do.

(5) The “long press operation” is an operation in which the user keeps pressing the touch screen 15. After detecting the user's operation and determining the approaching operation, the touch screen 15 performs the user's operation when the time during which the approaching operation continues at the coordinates where the approaching operation is detected exceeds a certain period of time. It is determined as "long press operation" ("long press operation" may be referred to as "long touch operation").

(6) The “drag operation” is an operation in which the user slides the finger while maintaining the approaching state in which the finger or the like is brought close to the touch screen 15.

(7) The "move operation" refers to a series of operations in which the user performs a release operation on the touch screen 15 by moving a position where a finger or the like is approaching the touch screen 15 while maintaining the approach operation.

(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 a finger on the touch screen 15.

The game execution unit 112 executes various processes for advancing the game. The character control unit 113 controls the behavior of the character during the game. The parameter management unit 114 manages various parameters used in the game. The stamina recovery unit 115 recovers the stamina used in the game. The stamina is a kind of parameter for recovering the first game parameter by satisfying a predetermined condition in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the stamina is an example of the recovery parameters described later. For example, by consuming the stamina, the first game parameter of the character at a predetermined position is recovered by a specific amount.

In the game in the processing example described later in the present embodiment, the user is provided with stamina that can be used during game play. Stamina is a necessary parameter to restore HP and SP. HP and SP are parameters that can be reduced according to the user's gameplay during the game, and the user can recover HP and SP by using stamina. When using stamina, a certain amount of stamina is consumed as HP and SP recover. In this embodiment, the user can basically possess up to three stamina (with exceptions), and each stamina is used individually to recover HP and SP. As will be described in detail later, the opportunity to use stamina is not unlimited, and stamina can be used only at the recovery points provided in the game space that constitutes the game. The game has a specification that restores stamina itself. Specifically, the consumed stamina is automatically restored over time within the range that does not exceed the maximum value of stamina. As described above, in the present embodiment, stamina is not consumed with the action of the character in the game (for example, participation in a quest), but the parameter (for example, combat action) used for the action of the character in the game (for example, combat action). It is used to restore HP, SP).

The display control unit 116 outputs a game screen on which the processing results executed by each of the above elements are reflected to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15. The display control unit 116 may display a game screen including animations showing motions of various objects on the display unit 152. Further, the display control unit 116 may superimpose and draw a UI (User Interface) object on the game screen.

(Details of processing)
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of processing executed by the user terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention based on the game program 131. A part or all of the series of processes shown in FIG. 3 may be executed by the server 200.

<Equipment of jobs, weapons and accessories>
In step S301, the control unit 110 equips the character with a job, a weapon, and an accessory according to the operation of the user. Jobs, weapons, and accessories are examples of game media. However, the game medium is not limited to this, and may be any medium that can be associated with a character.

The character is associated with the user. For example, when the operation reception unit 111 accepts a predetermined operation of the user, the display control unit 116 displays a list of characters that can be associated with the user, and the operation reception unit 111 specifies any character in the list. Upon receiving the user's operation, the character control unit 113 identifies the character specified by the user as the character associated with the user. The association between the character and the user is stored in the storage unit 120 as user information 133. The user terminal 100 associates a character appearing in a game based on a game program with a user as described above.

In step S301, for example, the operation reception unit 111 detects the user's operation, and the display control unit 116 displays the screen shown in FIG. 4, for example.

FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a screen for equipping a character with a job. The screen shown in FIG. 4 includes a character image 401, a first window 402, a second window 403, a first UI 404, and a second UI 405. The character image 401 is, for example, an image representing the character 32 in the game screen described later.

The first window 402 includes a character name 411, a level 412, a level gauge 413, an HP gauge 414, and an SP gauge 415.

The character name 411 is the name of the character displayed in the character image 401. Level 412 is the level of the displayed character. The level gauge 413 shows the progress to the next level, for example, the current value of the experience value with respect to the experience value to the next level. In the level gauge 413, the portion corresponding to the current value is colored in the first color, and the remaining portion is colored in the second color different from the first color. The other gauges below are also colored according to the same rules. On the level gauge 413, for example, the denominator is the experience value up to the next level, and the current value of the experience value is the numerator.

The HP gauge 414 indicates the ratio of the current value of the character image 401 to the maximum value in the HP of the character. The HP gauge 414 is also indicated by a numerical value having the maximum value of HP as the denominator and the current value as the numerator. The HP of the character displayed here is the HP of the character whose association state is controlled with the game medium, and is an example of the first game parameter. Hereinafter, it is also referred to as total HP. The HP is a parameter that enables the game to proceed on the condition that the current value of the HP is equal to or higher than the threshold value. As described above, the total HP is a parameter necessary for advancing the game.

The SP gauge 415 indicates the ratio of the current value to the maximum value in the SP of the character of the character image 401. The SP gauge 415 is also indicated by a numerical value having the maximum value of SP as the denominator and the current value as the numerator. SP can also be the first game parameter.

The second window 403 includes a first tab 421, a second tab 422, a main job UI 423, a first sub job UI 424, and a second sub job UI 425.

The first tab 421 is a UI for displaying information about the character job of the character image 401 in the second window 403. The second tab 422 is a UI for displaying information about the character's weapon and accessories of the character image 401 in the second window 403. Jobs, weapons, and accessories all define a character's characteristics in the game by being associated with the character.

The main job UI 423 is a UI for selecting and displaying the main job. Initially blank. For example, when the operation reception unit 111 receives a user's touch operation on the main job UI 423, the display control unit 116 displays the UI of one or more jobs that can be equipped on the character of the character image 401. Then, when the operation reception unit 111 receives the user's touch operation on any UI, the display control unit 116 displays the job indicated by the UI on the main job UI 423. In this way, the user terminal 100 controls the association state of the game medium with the character from non-equipment to equipment for the main job.

The first sub-job UI 424 and the second sub-job UI 425 display sub-jobs (sub-job 1 and sub-job 2) other than the main job among the jobs that can be equipped by the character of the character image 401, respectively. Here, in the present embodiment, the main job is a job in which all the special effects peculiar to the job are set to be able to be expressed in the game play using the character. Further, the sub-job is a job in which only a part of the special effects peculiar to the job can be expressed in the game play using the character.

The first sub-job UI 424 and the second sub-job UI 425 are also initially blank. Each of the sub-job 1 and the sub-job 2 is also selected by the user in the same manner as the main job. In the present embodiment, the main job and the two sub-jobs may be the same job or different jobs.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the game medium includes a plurality of jobs associated with the character, and the job can associate a plurality of the same jobs with the same character. Therefore, in the present embodiment, there are more job combinations than the job types, and it is possible to more precisely set the ability value of the character in the game by combining the game media. Therefore, the strategy of the game can be further enhanced.

When the operation reception unit 111 receives the user's touch operation on the second tab 422, the display control unit 116 switches the second window 403 to a window for displaying information on weapons and accessories, as shown in FIG. To display. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a screen for equipping a character with a weapon and an accessory. The second window 403 in FIG. 5 includes a weapon UI 431, a first accessory UI 432, and a second accessory UI 433 in addition to the first tab 421 and the second tab 422. For these weapons and accessories, the UI is initially blank and is selected by the user in the same way as the main job.

In this way, the user terminal 100 controls the association state of the game medium with respect to the character from non-equipment to equipment for jobs, weapons, and accessories.

The parameter management unit 114 specifies the maximum value of the total HP. The total HP is specified according to the character as well as the jobs, weapons and accessories equipped on the character. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the breakdown of HP of a character equipped with a job, a weapon, and an accessory. The numerical value in FIG. 6 is HP, the denominator represents the maximum value of HP, and the numerator represents the current value. The numerical value described in the column of "character" in FIG. 6 is "character HP". The character HP is an HP that is uniquely set for the character. In this way, the user terminal 100 specifies the maximum value of the character HP according to, for example, the association between the user and the character. The character HP is an example of the third game parameter.

The numerical values described in the columns of main job, sub job 1, sub job 2, and weapon / accessory in FIG. 6 are “jobs and the like HP”. The HP such as a job is an HP unique to each game medium, which is set according to the type of the game medium, for example. In this way, the user terminal 100 specifies the maximum value of the job or the like HP for each of the jobs or the like equipped on the character. The job HP is a specific example of the second game parameter.

The numerical value shown in the total column in FIG. 6 is the total HP. The maximum value of the total HP is specified as follows. For example, when only the main job is associated with the character, the total HP is specified as the total value of the maximum value of the character HP unique to the character and the maximum value of the associated main job job HP. Will be done. For example, in the above case, the maximum value of the total HP of the characters is the same as the maximum value (100) of the character HP. When the user selects the job "Swordsman" as the main job, the job "Swordsman" is associated with the character as the main job, and the maximum value (50) of the job etc. HP set to "Swordsman" is the maximum value of the character HP ( Add to 100), the total HP becomes 150. In this way, the maximum value of the total HP in the state where the job or the like is associated with the character is specified as the total value of the maximum value of the job or the like HP and the maximum value of the character HP.

Hereinafter, as in the case of the main job, the sub job 1, the sub job 2, the weapon, the accessory 1 and the accessory 2 are selected respectively. The total HP in this case is specified as the total value of the maximum value of the HP of each job and the maximum value of the character HP. In this way, the parameter management unit 114 specifies the maximum value of the total HP to, for example, "200".

In this processing example, the initial state is that the character has not received any damage. Therefore, the parameter management unit 114 specifies the current value of the total HP to be the same as the maximum value of the total HP. The identification of the current HP value for the character will be described after the battle event described later.

<Execution of search part>
Returning to FIG. 3, the search part in the game will be described. The game in this processing example is an action role-playing game (RPG). More specifically, the game in this processing example is an open world type action RPG. The action RPG includes a "search part" as a game part that can be freely operated in the game field, and a "battle event" that fights against an enemy character taku. "Recovery points" that recover the total HP are arranged in the game field. The characters 32 and 33 are all characters associated with the user. Although the character 32 will be mainly described, the character 33 can be processed in the same manner as the character 32.

In step S302 in FIG. 3, the game execution unit 112 executes the game search part while playing the game. The search part is an example of a game part in which a character equipped with a job or the like can move in the game space constituting the game. The display control unit 116 displays, for example, the game screen shown in FIG. 7 on the display unit 152 during game play. FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a game screen of the search part in the present embodiment.

On the game screen shown in FIG. 7, the background of the game field used for the search part, recovery points 31, characters 32, 33, stamina display field 40, character display field 50, and character display field 60 are displayed. The recovery point 31 is a predetermined position in the game field where the HP and SP of the characters 32 and 33 can be recovered. Characters 32 and 33 are characters associated with the user. The stamina display column 40 is a column in which the stamina 41 possessed by the user is displayed. In FIG. 7, three stamina 41 are displayed in the stamina display field 40.

The character display field 50 is a field for displaying information about the character 32, and in FIG. 7, the character image 51, the HP bar 52, and the SP bar 53 are displayed in the character display field 50. The character image 51 is an image showing a part of the character 32. The HP bar 52 is display information that visually presents the current value and the maximum value of the HP of the character 32 to the user.

In FIG. 7, the left end of the HP bar 52 corresponds to the minimum HP value of the character 32, and the right end of the HP bar 52 corresponds to the maximum HP value of the character 32. The coloring rules for the HP bar 52 are the same as those for the gauge described above. The user can intuitively grasp the current value of stamina by visually recognizing the stamina display field 40. The SP bar 53 is display information that visually presents the current value and the maximum value of the SP of the character 32 to the user. The SP bar 53 is also displayed by applying the same rules as the HP bar 52 described above. The character display field 60 is a field for displaying information about the character 33, and is displayed by applying the same rules as the character display field 50.

In the search part, the user can move the characters 32 and 33 in the game field based on the operation on the touch screen 15 during the play of the search part.

<Execution of battle event>
In step S303, the game execution unit 112 executes a battle event. When a predetermined condition for generating a battle event is satisfied when the characters 32 and 33 move in the search part, the display control unit 116 displays the battle event screen, and the game execution unit 112 interrupts the execution of the search part. And perform a battle event. The predetermined condition is, for example, that the characters 32 and 33 encounter the enemy character 34 while moving in the game field (so-called random encounter).

FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a game screen of a battle event according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the game screen of FIG. 8, the characters 32 and 33 are displayed on the right side of the game screen, and the enemy character 34 is displayed on the left side of the game screen. The display control unit 116 displays the character display field 50 and the character display field 60 on the game screen. The user plays the battle event while visually recognizing the game screen of the battle event. The user inputs an operation for causing the character 32 or 33 to attack the enemy character 34 on the touch screen 15. In response to this operation, the character control unit 113 causes the character 32 or 33 to attack the enemy character 34. The enemy character 34 automatically attacks the character 32 or 33 based on a predetermined algorithm.

<Update of HP>
In a battle event, if the enemy character 34 attacks successfully, the HP of the character 32 or 33 decreases. Such decrease and consumption of HP and SP are examples of update events. In this way, the game execution unit 112 executes the update event of the total HP.

The user can also input an operation for activating the skill to the character 32 or 33 on the touch screen 15. In response to this operation, the character control unit 113 activates the skill by causing the character 32 or 33 to perform a predetermined action by consuming the SP of the character 32 or 33. The skill is, for example, an action that damages the enemy character 34. As described above, the HP and SP of characters 32 and 33 can be reduced based on the user's gameplay at the battle event. The amount of decrease in the total HP of the characters 32 and 33 and the amount of SP consumed due to the successful attack of the enemy character 34 are specified based on predetermined settings. In this way, the parameter management unit 114 specifies the update amount of the total HP according to the execution of the update event, and specifies the current value of the first game parameter.

When the clearing conditions specified in the battle event are satisfied, the game execution unit 112 ends the battle event, assuming that the characters 32 and 33 have won the battle with the enemy character 34. The clearing condition is, for example, to reduce the HP of the enemy character 34 to the minimum value or less.

In step S304, the game execution unit 112 resumes the search part after the end of the battle event. In the restarted search part, the display control unit 116 updates the display state of the HP bar 52 and the like to a state that reflects the current value of the HP and the like after being reduced by the battle event. In this way, the reduced HP and SP current values in the battle event are taken over after the search part resumes.

The current value of HP for the character is specified as follows. For example, the character 32 of the character image 401 has been damaged in the previous battle event, and the total HP is the total HP from the initial 200 as described in "At the end of the battle event" in FIG. It has been updated to 140, which is 70% (30% reduction). In addition, SP has decreased from the initial 100 to 100, which is 50% (half) of the initial value. In this way, the parameter management unit 114 specifies the current value of the total HP after being damaged in the battle event based on the update amount of the total HP. For example, the current value of the total HP in the state where the association state of the job or the like with the character is controlled by "equipment" is the total value of the current value of the job or the like HP and the current value of the character HP.

As described in "At the end of the battle event" in FIG. 6, the parameter management unit 114 receives damage in the battle event as to the ratio of the current value of the current value of the job etc. HP to the maximum value of the job etc. HP. The current value of the HP such as a job is specified so as to be the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP after the event. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the current value (numerator) of the HP of the main job, the sub job 1, the sub job 2, and the weapon / accessory is 70% of the maximum value (denominator) of the HP. Has been identified as. This is the same as the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP after being damaged in the battle event.

Similarly, the parameter management unit 114 describes the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the character HP for the character HP after being damaged in the battle event, as described in “At the end of the battle event” in FIG. The current value of the character HP is specified as "70" so as to be the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP of (that is, 70%).

In this way, if the total HP fluctuates by 30% after the change (second state) with respect to the value before the change (first state), the parameter management unit 114 will be the job HP and the character HP, respectively. Also, the value after the change (second state) is specified as a value reduced by 30% from the value before the change (first state).

<Change of job etc.>
When the operation reception unit 111 receives a predetermined operation by the user during the search part, the display control unit 116 displays a screen for changing a job or the like. For example, a change of a job or the like will be described by taking as an example a case where a user changes a job in preparation for the next battle event. FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a screen before changing the job of the character at the end of the battle event.

In step S305, the display control unit 116 displays an image as shown in FIG. 9 in response to the operation reception unit 111 receiving a predetermined operation. The image of FIG. 9 is of FIG. 4, except that the experience points, total HP and SP of the level gauge 413, HP gauge 414 and SP gauge 415 are updated according to the result of the game play by the above-mentioned battle event. Same as the screen. Changes such as jobs are executed as follows, for example.

When the screen is displayed, the parameter management unit 114 stores the ratio (that is, 70%) of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP as user information 133.

On the other hand, the user tries to change the sub job 2 from "witch" to "warrior". When the operation receiving unit 111 receives a touch operation on the second sub-job UI 425 by the user, the display control unit 116 displays the second sub-job UI 425 as a blank.

The parameter management unit 114 specifies that both the current value and the maximum value of the HP of the sub-job 2 are zero, as shown in "Partial cancellation" of "Job change" in FIG. The parameter management unit 114 sets the total value of the maximum values of the character HP and the HP such as the job as the maximum value of the total HP for the total HP of the characters whose association state of the sub job 2 is controlled to be "not equipped", and sets the maximum value of the character HP and the job etc. The total value of the current values of HP is taken as the current value of total HP.

In this way, the user terminal 100 controls the association state of the "witch" with respect to the character from "equipment" (associated state) to "non-equipment" (unrelated state). In specifying the maximum value of the total HP, the parameter management unit 114 sets the maximum value of the total HP (200) when the association state of the "witch" with the character is "equipment" and the maximum value of the HP of the "witch" (200). Based on 10), the maximum value (190) of the total HP when the association state of the "witch" with the character is "not equipped" is specified. Then, regarding the current value of the total HP, the parameter management unit 114 determines that the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP in the non-equipped state is the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP in the case of the equipped state. The current value of the total HP in the above-mentioned non-equipped state is specified so as to be.

Next, the display control unit 116 displays the UI of the job that is a candidate for the sub job. When the operation reception unit 111 receives a touch operation on the UI of the "warrior" of the UI, the display control unit 116 displays the "warrior" on the second sub-job UI 425.

The parameter management unit 114 identifies the maximum value of the HP of the "warrior" equipped on the character as "100", and sets the total value of the maximum values for the character HP and all the HPs such as jobs equipped on the character. Identify as the maximum value of total HP.

The parameter management unit 114 stores the ratio (70%) of the current value to the maximum value of the HP of the sub job 2 before controlling the association state of the "warrior" to the "equipment" stored in the storage unit 120 as the user information 133. Correspondingly, as described in "Re-equipment" in FIG. 6, the current value of the HP of "Warrior" is set to "70" so that the ratio to the maximum value is the same as the above 70%. Identify. Then, the total value (203) of the current values of the character HP and the HP such as the job is specified as the current value of the total HP of the characters after the sub-job 2 is changed to "warrior".

FIG. 10 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a screen after changing the job of the character. As shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 116 displays on the screen the maximum value and the current value of the total HP after the change of the sub job 2 specified by the parameter management unit 114.

In this way, the user terminal 100 changes from the state in which the association state of the "witch" is controlled to "not equipped" to the state in which the association state of the "warrior" is controlled to "equipment". In specifying the maximum value of the total HP, the parameter management unit 114 sets the maximum value of the total HP (190) when the association state of the "witch" with the character is controlled to "not equipped" and the HP of the "warrior". Based on the maximum value, the maximum value (290) of the total HP value when the association state of the "warrior" with the character is controlled to "equipment" is specified. Then, regarding the current value of the total HP, the parameter management unit 114 determines that the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP in the case of the above equipment is the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP in the case of the non-equipped state. Therefore, the current value of the total HP in the case of the above-mentioned equipment state is specified.

FIG. 10 is the same as FIG. 9 except for the job name displayed on the second sub-job UI 425 and the numerical values attached to the HP gauge 414 and the SP gauge 415. That is, in the HP gauge 414, the numerical values of the maximum value and the current value, which are the absolute amounts, are changed according to the change of the sub job 2, but the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the sub job 2 is shown in the HP gauge 414. The display in the first color and the second color does not change.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the display control unit 116 displays the maximum value and the current value of the total HP on the HP gauge 414. Therefore, it is clarified that the ratio of the total amount of HP before and after the change in the sub job 2 does not substantially change. Therefore, even after the sub-job 2 is changed, the user can be fully convinced that the state before the sub-job 2 is changed is inherited.

In the present embodiment, by specifying the total HP related to the character as described above, even if the association state of the job or the like with the character changes, the continuity of the game play of the character before the association state changes is substantially maintained. Taken over. Therefore, the continuity of the game before and after the association is enhanced, and the interest of the game is appropriately enhanced.

Here, the effect of specifying the HP in the present embodiment will be further described by taking as an example the case where the equipment and non-equipment of the job etc. for the character are changed from the following first aspect to the fourth aspect. The first aspect represents a character equipped with a job or the like, and the current value is 80 when the maximum value of the total HP is 200. The second aspect is a state in which a job or the like having a maximum HP value of 50 is not equipped from the character of the first aspect. The third aspect is a state in which a job or the like having a maximum HP value of 100 is not equipped from the character of the second aspect. The fourth aspect is a state in which the character of the third aspect is equipped with a job or the like having a maximum value of 150.

According to the method for specifying HP in the present embodiment, the ratio of the current value to the maximum value in the first aspect is 40%, and the aspect changes at this ratio. Therefore, when the current value is displayed in the numerator and the maximum value is displayed in the denominator, in the present embodiment, the first aspect is 80/200, the second aspect is 60/150, the third aspect is 20/50, and the fourth aspect. Is 80/200. In this way, when the job or the like is changed so as to have the same maximum value as the maximum value of the total HP before the change, the current value after the change is always the same as the current value before the change.

On the other hand, in the above case, when the total HP at the time of changing the job or the like is specified based on the current value of the total HP before the change, the first aspect is 80/200, the second aspect is 30/150, and the third aspect. Is 1/50 because the lowest value of total HP is usually "1", and 151/200 in the fourth aspect. In this way, based on the current value of the total HP before the change, even if the total HP after the change is the same as that before the change, the current value of the total HP after the change changes depending on the type of job or the like. There may be a problem that it will be larger than the previous one, that is, the total HP will recover significantly.

Alternatively, in the above case, if the total HP at the time of changing the job or the like is specified based on the maximum value of the total HP before the change, the first aspect is 80/200, the second aspect is 80/150, and the third aspect is Since the maximum value is lower than the current value before the change, the maximum value after the change becomes the current value 50/50, and the fourth aspect is 50/200. In this way, based on the maximum value of the total HP before the change, even if the total HP after the change is the same as that before the change, if the HP is changed even once for a job with a low HP, the change will occur. Even if the job or the like is returned to that before the change, there is a problem that the current value of the total HP is lower than that before the change, that is, the total HP cannot be returned to the original value and cannot be recovered.

As is clear from the above description, in the method of specifying the total HP so that the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP is constant before and after the change, the current value of the total HP before the change or The above problem does not occur due to other methods of specifying the total HP based on the maximum value. Therefore, the above method in the present embodiment is more advantageous and more appropriate in a game in which the association state of a job or the like with respect to a character can be frequently changed.

In this embodiment, SP is also set in the same manner as HP. By changing subjob 2 from "Wizard" to "Warrior", the maximum value of total SP is changed from 100 to 50, for example, and the current value of total SP is the ratio of the current value to the maximum value before the change (50%). ) Is multiplied by the changed total SP to be identified.

<Resume search part>
When the operation reception unit 111 receives the user's operation for confirming the change of the sub job, the game execution unit 112 restarts the search part in step S306. FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a game screen of a search part restarted after changing a job in one embodiment of the present invention. After the change of the sub job 2, the search part is restarted from the state where the current value of the total HP is 70% of the maximum value as before the change. When a random encounter occurs again while the characters 32 and 33 are moving in the restarted search part, the next battle event is started in the state of the above total HP.

<Recovery of total HP>
Here, it is assumed that the HP of the character 33 is almost zero when the search part is restarted (before the sub-job 2 of the character 32 is changed). In this case, the chances of winning the battle with the enemy character in the next battle event are very small. It is difficult for the user to continue playing the game as it is. Therefore, the user inputs an operation for moving the characters 32 and 33 to the recovery point 31 on the touch screen 15.

When the operation receiving unit 111 receives the above operation by the user, in step S307, the character control unit 113 moves the characters 32 and 33 to the recovery point 31 based on the user's operation, as shown in FIG. In this way, the user terminal 100 moves the character 32 to the recovery point 31 which is a predetermined position in the game space where the recovery of the total HP is permitted during the execution of the game part.

As shown in FIG. 11, the character 32 is placed at the recovery point 31 and the character 33 is placed on the side of the character 32. Based on this arrangement, HP and SP recovery using stamina is allowed.

In step S308, the operation receiving unit 111 receives an operation for recovering the HP and SP from the user. This operation is, for example, an operation of tapping any stamina 41 displayed in the stamina display field 40. Here, it is assumed that the leftmost stamina 41 is tapped.

In step S309, the parameter management unit 114 recovers the HP and SP of the characters 32 and 33 by consuming one stamina 41 in response to the user's operation. When the operation reception unit 111 receives the above tap operation, the display control unit 116 displays a screen in which the leftmost stamina 41 of the three stamina 41 disappears, and the parameter management unit 114 displays the total HP of the characters 32 and 33 and the total HP of the characters 32 and 33. Increase the total SP.

The amount of increase in total HP and total SP due to recovery may be determined according to the amount of damage or the state before recovery (such as incapacitated state). For example, when the character 33 is in a state of being incapable of fighting and the HP and SP of the character are recovered in this state, there may be a restriction that the upper limit is 90% of the maximum value.

FIG. 12 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a game screen after executing HP and SP recovery using stamina in the present embodiment. Based on the above constraints, the parameter management unit 114 sets the current values of the character HP and the HP such as the job to the maximum value of those HPs as shown in "Recovery" in FIG. Specify the value multiplied by (90%). In addition, the parameter management unit 114 specifies the current value of the total HP after recovery with the sum of the current values of each HP.

In response to the consumption of the stamina 41, the display control unit 116 covers 90% of the HP gauge and SP gauge games of the characters 32 and 33 in the first color and the rest, as shown in FIG. The screen is updated so that 10% of the area is displayed in the second color. In this way, the user terminal 100 recovers the total HP by consuming stamina, provided that the character 32 is placed at the recovery point 31.

<Automatic recovery of stamina>
As mentioned above, after recovery, one stamina 41 is consumed and the remaining stamina is two. Some of the HP and SP of character 32 have been used, and their current values are lower than their maximum values. The user terminal 100 automatically recovers stamina over time within a range not exceeding the maximum value of stamina.

In step S310, the stamina recovery unit 115 automatically recovers stamina over time. For example, when a certain period of time elapses from the state in which one stamina is consumed, the stamina recovery unit 115 recovers a part of one consumed stamina 41. The display control unit 116 displays the stamina 41 in a completely recovered state at the left end portion in the stamina display column 40 in response to the stamina recovery unit 115 recovering one stamina. This increases the stamina 41 available to the user by one.

Therefore, even if all the stamina 41 is exhausted, the user can acquire a new stamina 41 by interrupting the game and waiting for a while. Therefore, after that, the game can be played again. The automatic recovery of the stamina 41 may be enabled only when the remaining stamina 41 becomes zero.

HP and SP do not automatically recover over time. Therefore, even when the stamina 41 recovers with the passage of time, the HP and SP in each character continue to maintain their current values.

According to the above "Recovery of total HP" and "Automatic recovery of stamina", even in games where recovery of total HP is restricted, the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of total HP due to changes in jobs etc. Since it does not change substantially, the user can positively change the job or the like equipped by the character. Therefore, in a game in which the recovery of the total HP is restricted, it is possible to enhance the fun of the game by changing the job or the like.

[Modification example]
(Recovery of HP and SP by leveling up)
In the present embodiment, the user terminal 100 may recover the first parameter set for the character in response to the character leveling up as a result of the user's gameplay in the third event.

For example, when the character 32 and the character 33 win the battle event shown in FIG. 7, they acquire the experience value set in the battle event. The character control unit 113 raises the level of the character 32 when the cumulative acquired experience value of the character 32 exceeds the threshold value. In response to this level-up, the parameter management unit 114 restores the HP and SP of the character 32 to the maximum values, respectively. The situation is the same for the character 33. Since the HP and SP are fully recovered by leveling up, the user can continue the game play. Therefore, the user can be motivated to level up the characters 32 and 33.

When the levels of the characters 32 and 33 are low, the level-up interval may be shortened, and in the mode set in this way, the characters 32 are leveled up one after another before the HP of the character 32 disappears. As a result, the user can advance the game one after another without using the stamina 41 at the beginning of the game.
