The race game may include a race game in which the player can control the running content of the game object by operating the player terminal 3.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the information processing server 1 and the functional configuration of the player terminal 3 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The information processing server 1 includes, for example, an information processing unit 40 that executes information processing for executing a race game, and a recording unit 18 that records information related to information processing for executing a race game. It is composed.

The information processing unit 40 is functionally configured to include a game execution unit 44. The information processing unit 40 can be realized, for example, by the CPU 11 executing a program stored in the memory 13 or the recording unit 18 shown in FIG.

The game execution unit 44 executes a process for operating the game. The game execution unit 44 operates the game based on the game software included in the game operation information GI recorded in the recording unit 18 and the operation content of the player input from the input unit 36 shown in FIG.

The game execution unit 44 includes, for example, parameters associated with each of a plurality of game objects participating in the race game, setting information associated with the race game (for example, race field, climate, race distance, etc.), and a player terminal 3. The information processing server 1 automatically executes the race game process based on the player input information (for example, the running strategy in the race) acquired via the above. The game execution unit 44 records the result of the race game process (log information LI) in the recording unit 18. The parameters, the setting information associated with the race game, and the player input information may be recorded in advance in the recording unit 18 as the game operation information GI. Further, the game execution unit 44 performs the game execution process based on the image data further included in the game operation information GI and the music data and the voice data included in the game operation information GI.

As described above, the game execution unit 44 manages various information in the execution game, for example, the game operation information GI and the log information LI on the information processing server 1. Therefore, when a process involving a change in these various information (for example, a process involving a change in the content of a game object, a game content, a parameter, etc.) occurs in the game, the game execution unit 44 and the player terminal 3 By performing the communication of, various information managed by the player terminal 3 is updated. The game execution unit 44 provides the player terminal 3 with information necessary for executing the game or the like when the game is executed on the player terminal 3 (in the case of the second embodiment described later). The game execution unit 44 may acquire and manage the updated information from the player terminal 3 at an arbitrary timing based on the progress of the game executed by the player terminal 3.

The recording unit 18 includes game operation information GI, log information LI regarding the result of a racing game in which a plurality of game objects travel on a predetermined route, which is executed based on parameters associated with each of the plurality of game objects. The event occurrence condition information CI is recorded. The log information includes position information indicating the position of the game object for each unit time on a predetermined route. "Event occurrence condition information" is condition information for determining the occurrence of an event.

The information processing unit 50 functionally includes a log information acquisition unit 54 (first acquisition unit), an event search unit 56, an event occurrence time information acquisition unit 58 (second acquisition unit), and a seek bar generation unit 60 (bar). A generation unit), a position determination unit 62, a relative time determination unit 64, a progress status determination unit 66, an area identification unit 68, a display information generation unit 70, and a notification unit 72. .. Each of the above units of the information processing unit 50 can be realized, for example, by the CPU 31 executing a program stored in the memory 33 or the recording unit 38 shown in FIG.

The log information acquisition unit 54 acquires the log information LI from the information processing server 1. The log information acquisition unit 54 further acquires the generation condition information CI indicating the event generation conditions corresponding to each of the game objects from the information processing server 1.

The event search unit 56 searches for one or more events in which the parameters associated with the game object satisfy the occurrence conditions, based on the event occurrence condition information CI acquired by the log information acquisition unit 54. For example, the parameters associated with each of the game objects fluctuate according to the progress of the racing game based on the log information. The event search unit 56 monitors the fluctuating parameters of each game object. Based on the parameters associated with each of the game objects, the event search unit 56 determines, for example, a situation in a racing game in which a specific game object is blocked (forward block) from another game object traveling in front of the game object. When a period (for example, 3 seconds or more) elapses, it is determined that an event (forward block event) has occurred in the racing game.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of event occurrence time information according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the event search unit 56 identifies the content of the event determined (searched) from one or a plurality of possible events and the time (occurrence time) at which the event occurred, and the event occurs. It is recorded in the recording unit 38 as the time information TI. The event occurrence time information TI is recorded, for example, in association with the event name and the occurrence time for each of a plurality of game objects.

Returning to FIG. 4, the event occurrence time information acquisition unit 58 acquires, for example, the event occurrence time information TI regarding the time when the event corresponding to each of the game objects occurs in the racing game from the recording unit 38.

The seek bar generation unit 60 generates a seek bar corresponding to the period from the start to the end of the racing game based on the log information LI.

6 to 8 are diagrams showing an example of a screen of an output unit of a player terminal according to the first embodiment of the present invention, for example, a log screen of a race game for reproducing the result of a race game. FIG. 6A shows a log screen G5 when each game object is located at a start point (immediately after starting playback of the race game log (time 0:01)). FIG. 6B shows the log screen G7 at time 0:19. FIG. 7A shows a log screen G9 at time 0:40. FIG. 7B shows the log screen G11 at 0:45. FIG. 8A shows a log screen G13 at time 1:19. FIG. 8B shows a log screen G15 when the first game object reaches the goal (time 1:48). In the case where these log screens are described without distinction, some reference numerals are omitted and the term “log screen G” is simply referred to.

As shown in FIG. 6A, immediately after the start of playback of the racing game, each game object GO is positioned so as to be vertically arranged at the left end of the log screen G. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the leading game object GO gradually shifts to the right as it approaches the goal. As shown in FIG. 8B, at the moment when the first game object GO reaches the goal, the first game object GO is displayed near the lower part of the description of "1800 m right outside" at the upper part of the log screen G. At this time, the last game object GO is displayed at the left end of the log screen G.

Determines the maximum distance between the first game object and the last game object in a racing game. Based on this maximum distance, the scale (positional relationship) in which each game object is displayed on the log screen G is determined. For example, even if the position of the first game object and the position of the last game object are fixed at a certain distance so that the player can easily visually recognize the order of each game object on the log screen G. Good.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the seek bar generation unit 60 determines the end point EP of the seek bar SB based on the time of the game object GO that finally reached the end point in the racing game. Further, the seek bar generation unit 60 may determine the start point SP of the seek bar SB based on the start time of the race game.

According to this configuration, the seek bar SB can be displayed on the log screen G after adjusting the length of the seek bar SB to a length corresponding to the period of the racing game.

The position determining unit 62 shown in FIG. 4 determines the position of the slider (knob portion) K movably arranged on the seek bar SB on the seek bar SB based on the player input detected by the input unit 36 shown in FIG. decide. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, when the race result is reproduced on the log screen G, the knob portion K slides to the right on the seek bar SB with the passage of time. On the other hand, the knob unit K is arranged at a time desired by the player according to the operation content input by the player via the input unit 36.

According to this configuration, it is possible to easily look back on the race results corresponding to the time desired by the player, for example, the positioning of each horse at the time.

The relative time determination unit 64 determines the relative time based on the start or end of the racing game based on the position determined by the position determination unit 62.

The progress determination unit 66 determines the progress of the racing game of the specific game object based on the position of the specific game object in the racing game. Here, the progress status of the race game does not indicate the progress of the race game actually executed on the information processing server 1, but the progress status of the reproduction processing of the result of the race game based on the log information of the race game. The progress of the race game may be indicated by how long of the playback time (1:50) of the result of the race game has been played. The progress of the race game is determined by a predetermined period of the playback time (1:50) of the result of the race game, for example, "early stage" (for example, the period between "early stage" and "middle stage" described on the seek bar SB). , "Middle stage" (for example, the period between "middle stage" and "late stage" described on the seek bar SB) or "late stage" (for example, the period after "late stage" described on the seek bar SB). Good.

The area specifying unit 68 is a log screen G for displaying the respective positions of the game objects in the racing game corresponding to the relative time determined by the relative time determining unit 64 based on the position information of the head game object. Specify the area where the subsequent game object GO is displayed. In the area specifying unit 68, for example, on the log screen G shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the content of the event in which all the running game object GOs occur for the specific game object (No. 14: Special Month) and the like are displayed. The display position (display area) of the game object GO is specified so as not to be superimposed on the comment field CF described.

According to this configuration, on the log screen, all the running game objects GO are displayed so as not to be superimposed on the comment field CF, so that the player can accurately describe the content of the event that has occurred described in the comment field CF. Moreover, it can be easily grasped.

9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a display position of a game object on the log screen G of the racing game according to the first embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an arrangement position (X coordinate) of a game object in the X-axis direction on a log screen of a racing game. As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the X coordinate of the display of the head game object GOa is the "position of the head game object GOa" and the "goal position" at the time (0:19) displayed on the log screen G17. Is set based on. For example, the display position (relative position) of the game object GOo other than the first game object GOa and the last game object GOm is the position information in the log information of the first game object GOa and the log of the last game object GOm. It is calculated based on the position information in the information.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the last game object GOm is 100 m from the start point, the first game object GOa is 300 m from the start point, and other than the first game object GOa and the last game object GOm. The case where the game object GOo of the above is at a point 250 m from the start point will be described as an example. In this case, for example, the last game object GOm is displayed at the left end (X = 0) of the log screen G17, and the first game object GOa is a position (X = X ₁₎ according to the distance to the goal point. ) Is displayed. The position (X = L) of the game object GOo is calculated by, for example, Equation 1 below.
[Equation 1]
L = [(250-100) / ( 300-100)] × X 1 = 3X 1/4

If there are a plurality of game objects other than the first game object GOa and the last game object GOm, the X coordinate is determined by obtaining the relative position of each game object from the position information of the plurality of game objects. May be good.

10 (A) and 10 (B) are explanatory views for explaining the arrangement position (Y coordinate) of the game object in the Y-axis direction on the log screen of the racing game. As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the area specifying unit 68 displays the game object GO on the log screens G19 and G21 so that all the running game object GOs do not overlap with the comment column CF. The position (display area SR1) is specified. The Y coordinate of the game object other than the first game object displayed on the log screen G is determined according to the position of the first game object. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (A), if the head of the game object GOa is displayed at a position of (X _3, Y _3), subsequent game object GON, Goo, GOM is included in the display area SR3 The display is controlled so that

As shown in FIG. 10A, for example, the game object GOm located on the leftmost side (innermost side in the counterclockwise path) toward the race progress direction (X-axis direction in the log screen G19) is on the left side of the course. The game object GOn located 1 m from the left side of the race on the rightmost side (outermost in the counterclockwise path) is the game object GOo located 5 m from the left side of the course between the game object GOm and the game object GOo. Explains the case of a point 2 m from the left side of the course.

In this case, the game object GOm is displayed at the upper end (Xm, 0) of the log screen G19, and the game object GOn is the reference position P1 (X ₃ , Y ₂ ) determined based on the head game object GOa. The Y coordinate "Y ₂ " of is displayed at the common position (Xn, Y ₂ ). Then, the relative position of the game object GOo located between the game object GOm and the game object GOo, that is, the Y coordinate "H" is calculated as shown in the following equation 2, for example.
[Equation 2]
H = [(2-1) / ( 5-1)] × Y 2 = Y 2/4
As shown in Equation 2, H is a parameter corresponding to Y ₂ . Here, Y ₂ is a coordinate determined based on the X coordinate value (X ₃ ) of the head game object GOa. Therefore, GOo having H as the Y coordinate is displayed at a position corresponding to the X coordinate of GOa.

Similarly, in FIG. 10B, for example, when the first game object GOa is displayed at the position (X ₅ , Y ₅ ), the subsequent game objects GOn, GOo, GOm are included in the display area SR5. The display is controlled as follows. As shown in FIG. 10B, for example, the game object GOm located on the leftmost side (innermost side in the counterclockwise path) toward the race progress direction (X-axis direction in the log screen G19) is on the left side of the course.

Explains the case of a point 2 m from the left side of the course.

In this case, the game object GOm is displayed at the upper end (Xm, 0) of the log screen G19, and the game object GOn is the reference position P3 (X ₅ , Y ₄ ) determined based on the head game object GOa. The Y coordinate "Y ₄ " of is displayed at the common position (Xn, Y ₄ ). Then, the relative position of the game object GOo located between the game object GOm and the game object GOo, that is, the Y coordinate "H" is calculated as shown in the following equation 3, for example.
[Equation 3]
H = [(2-1) / ( 3-1)] × Y 4 = Y 4/2
Similar to the explanation in the above equation 2, H represented by the equation 3 is a parameter corresponding to Y ₂ . Here, Y ₂ is a coordinate determined based on the X coordinate value (X ₅ ) of the head game object GOa. Therefore, GOo having H as the Y coordinate is displayed at a position corresponding to the X coordinate of GOa.

The notification unit 72 may control the number of surprise marks “!” Based on the set number of displays. The notification unit 72 may control the number of surprise marks “!” To be displayed according to a predetermined parameter set for each game object.

The notification unit 72 selects one or a plurality of game objects that satisfy a predetermined selection condition from the plurality of game objects as specific game objects, and associates the occurrence timing of the event associated with the selected game object with the seek bar. To notify. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the event occurrence timing (“event name” shown in FIG. 5) associated with the game object (“14: Special Month” specified by the cursor C) selected by the player is generated. And "occurrence time") are notified in association with the seek bar. The game object to be selected may be a game object selected by the player, or a game object having a specific rank (for example, first place, lowest rank, etc.) in a racing game. The game object to be selected may be a single game object or a plurality of game objects.

According to this configuration, since the event occurrence time can be notified only for the event associated with the selected game object, the player can accurately and easily grasp the event occurrence time related to the specific game object.
