The position acquisition unit 203 acquires the current position of the terminal 20 by using GPS or the like.

<Processing procedure>
FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of a processing procedure performed by the game system 1. In FIG. 7, the terminals 20 used by the user U01, the user U02, and the user U03 are referred to as terminals 20-1, terminal 20-2, and terminal 20-3, respectively.

Hereinafter, among the plurality of users participating in the game, after the users of the user U01, the user U02, and the user U03 form a group, the position notification terminal is selected from the terminals 20 of these users and selected. A series of processes until the location notification terminal notifies the server 10 of the location information will be described.

In steps S100 to S102, the terminal 20-1, the terminal 20-2, and the terminal 20-3 measure the current position using GPS or the like, and send information indicating the current position to the server 10 at a timing such as a predetermined cycle. Send.

In step S103, a group is created among a plurality of users participating in the game. The creation of a group may be performed by a user who exists in a predetermined range centered on a user who has solicited participation in the group (hereinafter referred to as "host user") and consents to join the group. Good. That is, the management unit 101 of the server 10 may create a group including a user other than the host user and the host user when the position of the user other than the host user is included in a predetermined range from the position of the host user. Good.

A specific example will be described with reference to FIG. In the example of FIG. 2, the user U01 and the user U02 exist in a predetermined range (inside the circle surrounded by the dotted line) centered on the user U03. In this situation, the game processing unit 201 of the terminal 20-3 notifies the server 10 that it has received an instruction to solicit participation in the group by operating the screen of the user U03. The management unit 101 of the server 10 identifies a user existing in a predetermined range centered on the user U03 by searching the "location information" of the user management DB 100a. In addition, the management unit 101 causes the screens of the specified terminal 20-1 of the user U01 and the terminal 20-2 of the user U02 to display a screen for accepting the selection of whether or not to approve the participation in the group. When the game processing unit 201 of the terminal 20-1 and the terminal 20-2 receives the selection from the user U01 and the user U02 to accept the participation in the group, the server 10 sends a message indicating that the participation in the group is accepted. Send to. The management unit 101 of the server 10 stores the user ID of the user who has consented to join the group in the "participating user" of the group management DB. The management unit 101 exists in a predetermined range centered on the host user, and when the user specified by the host user approves the participation in the group, the host user and the user who consents to join the group. You may create a group that includes and. Returning to FIG. 7, the explanation will be continued.

In step S104, the selection unit 102 of the server 10 selects a location notification terminal from a plurality of users included in the group. In addition, the selection unit 102 notifies the selected position notification terminal that it has been selected as the position notification terminal.

Here, the selected position notification terminal may include a predetermined number of terminals 20 in order from the terminal 20 having the highest remaining battery level among the terminals 20 used by each of the plurality of users. The predetermined number is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, "1" or "2".

Further, the position notification terminal may include a terminal having a battery remaining amount of a predetermined amount or more among the terminals 20 used by each of the plurality of users. For example, when only the remaining battery level of the terminal 20-1 among the terminals 20-1, the terminal 20-2, and the terminal 20-3 is a predetermined amount or more, the selection unit 102 selects the terminal 20-1 as the position notification terminal. To do.

Further, the position notification terminal may include the terminal 20 of the host user.

Further, the selection of the position notification terminal may be repeated at predetermined time intervals. For example, when a terminal 20 having a battery remaining amount of a predetermined amount or more is selected as a position notification terminal, the selection unit 102 of the server 10 causes each terminal 20 to report the battery remaining amount at predetermined time intervals, and the reported battery remaining amount is reported. The location notification terminal may be updated based on the amount. As a result, the position notification terminals are switched, so that the remaining battery level of each terminal 20 in the group can be averaged.

Further, when the position notification terminal is repeatedly selected at predetermined time intervals, the selection unit 102 may change the length of the predetermined time according to the remaining battery level of the position notification terminal. For example, a terminal 20 having a slightly higher battery level than other terminals 20 in the group is a position notification terminal, and a terminal 20 having a significantly higher battery level than other terminals 20 in the group is a position notification terminal. In the case of a terminal, the latter may have a longer predetermined time. Since the frequency of selecting the position notification terminal is reduced, the power consumption of the terminal 20 and the server 10 can be reduced.

In step S105, the game processing unit 104 of the server 10 and the game processing unit 201 of the terminals 20-1, terminals 20-2, and terminals 20-3 cooperate with each other to start processing related to the game performed by the group. In the processing procedure of step S104, it is assumed that the terminal 20-2 is selected as the position notification terminal.

In step S106, while the game by the group is being executed, the position acquisition unit 203 of the terminal 20-2 measures the current position using GPS or the like, and outputs information indicating the current position at a timing such as a predetermined cycle to the server. Send to 10.

In step S107 and step S108, when the game processing unit 104 of the server 10 needs to share the current position within the group, the current position notified from the terminal 20-2 is transmitted to the terminal 20-1 and the terminal 20-3. You may want to be notified. The processing procedure of step S107 and step S108 may be performed directly between the terminals 20 without going through the server 10. For example, when creating a group, a connection using short-range communication may be established between terminals 20-1, terminals 20-2, and terminals 20-3. Further, the terminal 20-2 may notify the terminal 20-1 and the terminal 20-3 of the acquired current position by using the connection.

The game processing unit 104 of the server 10 executes the processing related to the game performed in the group by using the position information notified from the terminal 20-2 in the processing procedure of step S107.

Here, in a game played by a group, the game processing unit 104 considers the current position notified from the position notification terminal as the current position of each terminal 20 included in the group (hereinafter, referred to as "group position"). You may do so. That is, the current positions of the terminals 20 included in the group may be the same. In this case, when a plurality of terminals 20 are selected as the position notification terminals, the game processing unit 104 considers the center points of the plurality of current positions notified from each position notification terminal as the positions of the group. May be good. The position of the center point can be calculated, for example, by dividing the total value of latitude and the total value of longitude notified from each position notification terminal by the number of position notification terminals.

Further, when there is only one position notification terminal, the game processing unit 104 stores the position information of each terminal 20 at the time when the group is created, and the direction and the same direction as the position notification terminal has moved. And the distance may be regarded as the movement of each terminal. That is, as the position notification terminal moves, each terminal 20 in the group may move in parallel while maintaining the positional relationship at the time when the group is created.

During game execution, the output unit 103 of the server 10 may display a map showing the current position of each terminal 20 on the screen of each terminal 20. For example, when a plurality of users do not form a group, the output unit 103 determines the position of each of the plurality of users to be displayed on the map based on the position information acquired by each of the plurality of terminals 20. You may. FIG. 8 shows an example of displaying a map. The left side of FIG. 8 is a display example of a map before forming a group. As shown on the left side of FIG. 8, before forming a group, icons indicating the positions of users U01 to U03 are displayed at the current positions of terminals 20-1 to 20-3. Further, when a plurality of users form a group, the output unit 103 may determine the position of each of the plurality of users based on the position information acquired by the position acquisition terminal. The right side of FIG. 8 shows an example of displaying a map when the current position notified from the position notification terminal is regarded as the position of the group after forming a group. After forming a group, the icons indicating the positions of the users U01 to U03 are displayed superimposed on the current positions of the terminals 20-2. Returning to FIG. 7, the explanation will be continued.

The game using the position information may include a game that can be executed when the position information of each user included in the group is included in a predetermined range (hereinafter, referred to as a "position-limited game"). .. In this case, the game processing unit 104 permits the group or each terminal 20 included in the group to execute the position-limited game when the position information acquired by the position notification terminal is included in the predetermined range. You may try to do it. As a result, each user included in the group can play the position-limited game as long as the position notification terminal exists in a predetermined range.

Further, even after the position notification terminal is selected, the game processing unit 104 exceptionally causes each user's terminal 20 included in the group to acquire the current position, and each terminal 20 acquires the current position. When the information is included in the predetermined range, the group or each terminal 20 included in the group may be permitted to execute the position-limited game. For example, when the game processing unit 104 confirms that the position notification terminal exists in a predetermined range, the game processing unit 104 instructs terminals 20 other than the position notification terminal included in the group to notify the position information. In addition, the terminal 20 that has received the instruction acquires the current position and notifies the server 10. As a result, in order for each user included in the group to play the position-limited game, the terminal 20 of each user needs to exist in a predetermined range, so that the activation determination of the position-limited game is performed more strictly. be able to.

The management unit 101 may instruct terminals 20 other than the position notification terminals included in the group to notify the current position after a predetermined time has elapsed since the group was created. When the position information acquired from each terminal 20 included in the group by the instruction is not included in the predetermined range from the position of the group, the management unit 101 groups the users of the terminals 20 whose position information is not included in the predetermined range. It may be excluded from.

<Summary>
According to the embodiment described above, among the terminals 20 of a plurality of users included in the group, some terminals 20 are made to acquire the position information, and the acquired position information is shared within the group. This makes it possible to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the process using the position information.
