, 5G and other mobile communication systems, LTE (Long Term Evolution), and wireless networks (for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark)) that can be connected to the Internet via a predetermined access point.

The SNS server 4 is a server device that provides web services that constitute the posting system. Specifically, for example, an object or other photo posted by a user (player) of a web service managed by the SNS server 4 can be posted on the web page. Then, other users can browse the posted object by accessing the web page from their own player terminals 2 . It should be noted that the game system and the posting system (SNS, etc.) of this example may limit the users who can use them to only members of each system, or may be used by anyone without such restrictions. good. A member can be, for example, a user (player) who is registered in each system by inputting predetermined information and given an ID and a password. Also, game server 1, SNS
A plurality of servers 4 may exist, respectively.

<Configuration of Game Server 1>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the game server 1. As shown in FIG. The game server 1 is
An information processing device used by system administrators to operate and manage various services. may be

The game server 1 has a control section 11 , a storage section 12 , an input section 13 , a display section 14 and a communication section 15 . When the game server 1 receives various commands (requests) from the player terminal 2 via the communication unit 15, the control unit 11 executes processing according to the game program, and outputs processing results of the game program (for example, game images and game sounds). etc.) is transmitted to the player terminal 2 . A part of the game program may be transmitted to the player terminal 2 and executed on the player terminal 2 .

The control unit 11 exchanges data between units and controls the entire game server 1. For example, the control unit 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit
), MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) executes a program stored in a predetermined memory. Control unit 11 of the present embodiment includes game execution unit 111 , operation information reception unit 112 , processing result generation unit 113 .
, an object generation unit 114, a parameter acquisition unit 115, and a reward provision unit 116. FIG. Further, the control unit 11 may have a gift receiving unit 117 that receives transmission of an object from the player to another predetermined player. The gift receiving unit 117 receives a request from the player terminal 2 to transmit the generated object to another player, and transmits the object to the other player based on the request. Note that the gift receiving unit 117 is not an essential component.

The game execution unit 111 of the game server 1 has a function of executing processing for progressing the game according to the game program. The game by the game system according to the present embodiment can be any type of game as long as posting objects such as posting images, videos, and sounds (hereinafter also simply referred to as “objects”) can be generated in the game. you can For example, games whose main purpose is to generate objects such as images, videos, and sounds, battle games, puzzle games, action games, baseball games, soccer games, other sports games, quiz games, pinball games, card games, and rhythm games. , RPG, location information game, board game, adventure game, casino game, simulation game, strategy game, board game, racing game, and the like. In this example, a game system capable of executing a game whose main element is to create images of sweets such as cakes and enjoy decorations in the game will be described.

The operation information receiving section 112 receives operation information transmitted from the player terminal 2 . The received operation information is used as instruction information for the game execution unit 111 to process the game program.

The processing result generation unit 113 has a function of executing processing for generating a processing result of the game program executed by the game execution unit 111 . The generated processing result is transmitted to the player terminal 2 by the processing result generation unit 113 and output by the output unit 24, which will be described later.

The object generation unit 114 performs a process of generating a posting object according to the player's operation of the player terminal 2 (information processing terminal). The posting object can be, for example, an image, a moving image, or a sound. Examples of images include sweets such as mirror cakes, pancakes and puddings, foods such as bread and fried foods, or still images and photographs of characters and items that can be used in the game. In addition, the moving image may be a moving image in which the objects or characters exemplified in the above images move, a moving image generated by combining a plurality of still images, or a moving image added with voice, sound effect, music, or the like. . The sound may be music composed in the game, recorded voice of the player, voice of the character in the game, sound effects, sound generated by combining BGM, or the like.
Also, player information such as a player ID and a player name may be added to the posting object.

The parameter acquisition unit 115 acquires an evaluation parameter based on an operation from another player, given to an object posted by a player to a predetermined posting system. The predetermined posting system can be configured, for example, as a posting web page managed by the SNS server 4 . A method for obtaining evaluation parameters is not particularly limited. The game server 1 may acquire numerical values of evaluation parameters aggregated in a web page for posting (for example, the SNS server 4), or based on information on evaluation parameters acquired by the game server 1 from the SNS server 4. Alternatively, the game server 1 or the player terminal 2 may aggregate or calculate the evaluation parameters. Also, a posting system (posting function) may be provided in the game managed by the game server 1 . In that case, when the player posts an object using the posting function, the object is displayed on a predetermined posting screen in the game. Then, another player can view the object and make a predetermined evaluation.
In this case, evaluation parameters are also aggregated within the game system. Furthermore, the game system may have a function of automatically posting the generated object to a posting system (SNS server 4 or in-game posting system). In this case, for example, the object may be automatically posted to the posting system when the control unit 11 determines that the generation of the object has ended. Such a configuration eliminates the need for the player to post an object, thereby suppressing complication of the operation. Note that the control unit 11 may determine that the generation of the object has ended when the save button 36 on the game screen 31 is selected, or the game screen 31 may display "completed" indicating the end of object generation. ” button or the like may be provided.

An evaluation parameter is a parameter given based on actions of other players. The evaluation parameters are, for example, the number of "likes" given by other players to the object, "G
ood" number, number of stamps (number of stamps pressed), number of retweets (number of retweets of the post by other players), number of followers (number of followers of the post by other players),
The number of views (the number of views of the post by other players) and the like. Also, the number of followers of the player, which increased after posting the object, may be used as an evaluation parameter.

In this game system, the game server 1 can acquire information about evaluation parameters assigned to posted objects. The types of evaluation parameters to be acquired may be preset by the system administrator (game server 1), or may be selectable by the player. When the player selects an evaluation parameter, for example, a button for selecting the type of evaluation parameter is displayed on the game screen 31 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) of the player terminal 2, which will be described later.

The reward giving unit 116 gives the player an in-game reward according to the evaluation parameter. In-game rewards include at least one of, for example, giving items that can be used when creating posting objects, changing the background image when creating posting objects, adding additional functions, and removing restrictions on the use of predetermined functions. be able to. In-game currency, in-game points, and the like are also included in the items that can be used when generating the posting object. Also, the change of the background image when generating the object for posting is, for example, the game screen 3 in FIGS.
For example, the background image of the cake image 33 in 1 is gradually or step-by-step changed from an image of a simple kitchen or store to an image of a luxurious kitchen or store. Further, as an example of the in-game reward, the number of shops such as cake shops owned by the player in the game may be increased.

Further, as the in-game reward, in-game elements may automatically change according to the numerical value of the evaluation parameter. The in-game element can be, for example, an in-game rank (level). The higher the rank, the more functions and items that can be used in the game, and the screen design (background image, etc.) that generates posting objects.
may be changed. Also, the rank may be raised by charging a fee, using a predetermined item, or the like. Further, in this game system, if the number of postings to the posting system within a predetermined period is limited, the in-game reward may be an increase in the number of postings that can be made within the predetermined period.

The storage unit 12 includes a non-volatile storage device that is a read-only storage area in which a system program is stored, and a volatile storage device that is a rewritable storage area used as a work area for arithmetic processing by the control unit 11. have. The non-volatile memory device is, for example, a ROM (Re
Ad Only Memory), flash memory, hard disk, etc., and volatile storage devices include RAM (Random Access Memory) and VR
It is realized by AM (Video Random Access Memory) or the like. The storage unit 12 in this embodiment includes a game information storage unit 121 and a player information storage unit 1.
22 and various storage units such as a remuneration information storage unit 123 .

The game information storage unit 121 stores information about games. The game information is appropriately configured according to the type of game. For example, in the case of a game that virtually manufactures cakes (including generation of cake images) and sells them, background images such as store interiors (kitchen interiors, etc.) linked to in-game ranks, decoration tools, and toppings including information such as Also, for example, if the game includes a quest game, it is associated with the stage ID, the stage name,
It includes enemy character information, consumed stamina information, and the like.

The player information storage unit 122 stores information about players (player information). Player information includes player name, owned items (including in-game currency), in-game rank, object history, granted rewards, owned characters, owned items, billing amount, total play time, linked to player ID. , number of logins (total number of logins, number of logins within a predetermined period), player level, current stamina information, maximum stamina information, play stage information, payment methods, various setting information, information on players and game play status can contain. Object history is information about objects that the player has created so far, such as the type of object created, the object's unique ID, the function used when creating each object, the item, whether or not it has been posted to the posting system, and the posting destination. ID
, information on evaluation parameters assigned to each object, and information on the other party to whom the gift was sent.

The remuneration information storage unit 123 stores, for example, information regarding remuneration rates. This reward rate is the ratio of the evaluation parameter given to the posted object and the in-game reward given corresponding to the evaluation parameter. The reward rate is preferably a fixed numerical value (percentage). Specifically, for example, the reward rate may be set to 1 (100%), that is, the numerical value of the evaluation parameter and the numerical value of the in-game reward may be the same. When the reward rate is 1, for example, when the evaluation parameter such as the number of "likes" is 100, 10
0 points of in-game currency are awarded. By setting the reward rate to a fixed numerical value, it becomes easier to understand the relationship between the evaluation parameters of the posting system and the in-game rewards.
Even players who are unfamiliar with games such as social games can easily understand the game system. Note that the reward rate may be greater than or less than one.

A reward rate is determined by the game server 1 . Further, the reward rate may be a constant numerical value determined in advance by the administrator of the game system, or may be a numerical value that varies depending on various conditions. If the reward rate changes, for example, if an evaluation parameter is given to an object posted within a predetermined period, the in-game reward given according to the evaluation parameter will be larger than usual (or smaller). Also, the reward rate may be determined based on the information of the player who posted the object. Player information includes, for example, player rank, owned characters, owned items, billing amount, total playing time, number of logins (total number of logins, number of logins within a predetermined period).
However, it is not particularly limited. Alternatively, the reward rate may be determined based on information on the posting system to which the object was posted. For example, when posting to a plurality of different types of SNS systems is allowed, the reward rate may differ for each type of SNS system. In addition, by charging or using predetermined items,
The reward rate may be increased. In this way, by setting the reward rate so that it increases when a predetermined condition is satisfied, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game and encourage the player to log in to the game system and play.

The input unit 13 is used by the system administrator to input various data (for example, game information, etc.) relating to game services, and is realized by, for example, a keyboard and a mouse.

The display unit 14 is for displaying an operation screen for the system administrator based on a command from the control unit 11. For example, the display unit 14 is a liquid crystal display (LCD).

It is an information processing device (for example, a smart phone, a mobile phone terminal, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, etc.) that a player can possess and use. The player terminal 2 can display a game screen or the like based on the information transmitted from the game server 1 .
Note that the player terminal 2 may have a web browser function, in which case the web page (game screen, etc.) transmitted from the game server 1 can be displayed on the screen. The player terminal 2 has a control unit 21 that controls the entire player terminal 2, a storage unit 22 that stores various data and programs, an input unit 23 that allows the player to perform operation input, and outputs game screens, operation screens, and the like. It has an output unit 24 that communicates with the game server 1 and a communication unit 25 that communicates information with the game server 1 . The control unit 21 of this embodiment includes at least an operation information reception unit 211 and a game operation unit 212 . The storage unit 22 also includes at least a game action information storage unit 221 . Each functional unit of the control unit 21 can be realized by the CPU executing a program stored in the memory or the game operation information storage unit 221 .

The operation information receiving unit 211 of the player terminal 2 receives game-related operations from the player. Such operations by the player are performed using the input unit 23 . The operation information receiving unit 211 then outputs information indicating the content of the received operation to the game operation unit 212 .

The game operation unit 212 executes processing for operating the game. Game operation part 21
2 operates the game based on the game software included in the game operation information stored in the game operation information storage unit 221 and the player's operation details input from the input unit 23 . The game action unit 212 generates a game image from the image data included in the game action information and performs control processing for outputting the generated image to the output unit 24 in accordance with the game action. Similarly, the game operation unit 212 generates game music and sound from the music data and sound data included in the game operation information in accordance with the game operation, and causes the output unit 24 to output the generated music and sound. control processing for

Predetermined information in the game operated by the game operating unit 212 is managed by the game server 1 . Predetermined information includes, for example, available tools, reward rates, and in-game currency information in the game. The game operation unit 212 updates the information managed by the game server 1 by communicating with the game server 1 when a process involving a change in the predetermined information occurs in the game. The game operation unit 212 receives the updated parameters from the game server 1 and continues the game operation based on the updated parameters.

An example of a procedure for creating an object by a player using the game system, posting the object to the posting system (SNS server 4), and providing in-game rewards according to evaluation parameters will be described below. FIG. 4 is a flowchart explaining an example of a series of processes executed in this game system.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, the player executing the game performs an object generation step S
At 101, an object is created. At that time, the player operates the player terminal 2 to instruct the game server 1 to generate an object.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a game screen 31 (object generation screen) displayed on the player terminal 2 when generating an object. The player can generate a cake image 33 as an object by operating the player terminal 2 while viewing the game screen 31 . The A button 32a and the B button 32b on the screen 31 of the game on the player terminal 2 can be used as element selection buttons for generating the cake image 33 as the posting object. Specifically, for example, the A button 32a is used as a button for selecting a color (flavor) such as a mirror layer or a cream layer applied to the surface portion 33a of the cake, and the B button 32b is used as a button for selecting a plate 33b to be placed on the cake. can be done. In that case, when the player presses the A button 32a, various options such as a mirror layer and a cream layer are displayed, and the selected layer can be applied to the surface of the cake. Also, when the player presses the B button 32b, various plate options are displayed, and the selected plate can be placed on the cake. Note that the number of buttons displayed on the game screen 31, their types, and the like are not particularly limited, and can be changed as appropriate.

The screen 31 of the player terminal 2 shown in FIG. 5 is provided with a parameter display section 34 that displays numerical values of evaluation parameters assigned to the posted object (cake image 33). The screen 31 is also provided with an object posting button 35 , a save button 36 , a read button 37 and a present button 38 . Object post button 35
is a button to post the created object to the posting system. Save button 3
6 is a button for saving the created object. The place where the generated object is saved may be the game server 1, the player terminal 2, or both. You may also allow the player to choose where to save the object, in which case
For example, when the save button 36 is pressed, the save destination options (game server 1, player terminal 2,
etc.) is selected. The read button 37 is a button for reading an object generated and saved in the past. By pressing the read button 37 , the player can read the object selected from all the objects saved in the past and display it on the screen 31 . The screen 31 of the player terminal 2 may be provided with other display units, buttons, etc., without being limited to the illustrated example.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, in an object posting step S102, the player operates the player terminal 2 to post the object to a predetermined posting system (SNS server 4) such as SNS. At that time, the player operates the player terminal 2 to instruct the game server 1 to post the object.

Specifically, for example, by pressing an object posting button 35 on the screen 31 shown in FIG. . Such cooperation between the game server 1 and the SNS server 4 is made possible by using, for example, an API of a posting system published by the administrator of the SNS server 4 . In this example, the object can be posted to the SNS server 4 during execution of the game without terminating the game application, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, after saving the object in the storage unit 22 of the player terminal 2 or the like, exiting the game application, opening the SNS application (after logging in as necessary), the object is posted directly to the SNS server 4. good too. Thus, the method of posting an object to the posting system is not limited to this example. A unique object ID may be assigned to the generated object by the game server 1 . For example, the control unit 11 of the game server 1 gives an object ID to the object when saving or posting the generated object. The object ID is information composed of numbers, symbols, etc. for identifying an object, and is stored in the player information storage unit 122 of the game server 1 . Also, the object posted to the posting system has the U of the posting destination.
Information such as RL may be added. Information about the posting destination of the object is managed in association with the object ID.
22.

Objects posted to the SNS server 4 can be browsed by other players. It should be noted that the viewable players may be limited to players with a specific relationship, such as friends, or the viewable players may be viewable by anyone without limiting the viewable players. The other player can operate the player terminal 2 owned by the other player to browse the object posted to the SNS server 4 and appropriately evaluate it (object browsing and evaluation step S103).
). Evaluating means, for example, "Like", "Good", giving various stamps, retweeting (tweets that use the post, etc.), following (making the player's post appear on your home screen) ), etc. The evaluation parameters are added by the other players viewing and evaluating appropriately in this manner. Aggregation of evaluation parameters is performed by the SNS server 4
However, the game server 1 or the player terminal 2 that can communicate with the SNS server 4 may acquire information on the evaluation parameters, and may appropriately aggregate and calculate the information. Note that the number of times other players can evaluate an object may be limited. In this case, for example, the number of possible evaluations may be increased according to a predetermined condition. The predetermined conditions can be information such as the player's rank, owned characters, owned items, billing amount, total play time, number of logins (total number of logins, number of logins within a predetermined period), and the like. not.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the evaluation parameter acquisition step S104, the game server 1 communicates with the SNS server 4 and acquires the evaluation parameters given to the posted object. The acquired evaluation parameter information is stored in the player information storage unit 122, for example. The timing of obtaining the evaluation parameter may be predetermined by the administrator of the game system (game server 1), or may be determined by the player. Specifically, for example, after a predetermined time has passed since the object was posted,
It may be acquired only once, or may be acquired repeatedly at predetermined time intervals. Further, when the player decides, a button can be provided on the screen 31 of the player terminal 2 for requesting the game server 1 to acquire the numerical value of the evaluation parameter from the posting system. The numerical values of the obtained evaluation parameters can be displayed, for example, on the parameter display section 34 of the screen 31 shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 4, the game server 1 performs a reward giving step S105 of giving the player an in-game reward corresponding to the acquired evaluation parameter. The timing at which the in-game reward is given to the player may be a timing determined in advance by the administrator of the game system (game server 1), or may be determined by the player. Specifically, for example, the in-game reward may be given to the player substantially at the same time as or immediately after obtaining the evaluation parameter, or after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the evaluation parameter is obtained. An in-game reward may be given to the player. Further, when the player decides the timing of giving the in-game reward to the player, the player terminal 2 shown in FIGS.
screen 31 can be provided with a button for requesting the game server 1 to provide the player with an in-game reward.

In this example, as in-game rewards according to evaluation parameters, the number of functions that can be used for object generation is increased. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the numerical value of the evaluation parameter reaches 50, a C button 32c is added to the screen 31, and when the numerical value of the evaluation parameter reaches 100, a D button 32d is added. It should be noted that the number of options included in each of the A button 32a and the B button 32b may be increased without being limited to such an increase in the number of buttons. Note that the C button 32c and the D button 32d can each be used as an element selection button for generating the cake image 33 as an object. Specifically, the C button 32c is a selection button for selecting the number of candles 33c to be placed on the cake, the color or shape of the candles 33c, etc. The D button 32d is a topping 33d to be placed on the side or top of the cake. (Decorative confectionery) (in the example of FIG. 6, a heart-shaped decorative confectionery arranged on the side surface (peripheral surface) of the cake) or the like can be used as a selection button.

As described above, the game system of the present embodiment provides a game that can be executed by communicating between the player terminal 2 as an information processing terminal and the game server 1. and an object generation unit 114 that generates a posting object (cake image 33) in response to an operation of an information processing terminal by an object generating unit 114; and a parameter acquisition unit 115 that acquires an evaluation parameter based on the player's behavior.

Therefore, according to the game system of this embodiment, an object generated in the game can be posted to a posting system such as SNS, and the evaluation parameter assigned to the object can be reflected in the game.

In this way, by posting the generated object to the posting system and having other players browse and evaluate it, it is possible to activate communication with other players.
In addition, by obtaining the evaluation parameters given to the posted objects and reflecting them in the game, each player's motivation to create objects can be increased, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. Therefore, according to the game system, the game program, and the information processing method of the present disclosure, it is possible to achieve both improved communication between players and improved interest in the game with simpler operations.

In the game system of the present embodiment, it is preferable to provide a player with a reward corresponding to the evaluation parameter. By adopting such a configuration, each player's motivation to create an object is further increased, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

In the game system of this embodiment, the in-game reward is preferably in-game currency with the same numerical value as the evaluation parameter. According to such a configuration, since the numerical value of the evaluation parameter can be used as it is as the in-game currency, it becomes easier for the player to understand the relationship between the evaluation parameter in the posting system and the in-game currency. Specifically, for example, the number of "likes" as an evaluation parameter can be acquired from the posting system (SNS server 4), and the "likes" can be used as is as in-game currency. In this case, for example, it is preferable to use the unit of the in-game currency as the unit of the evaluation parameter (such as "like").

In the game system of this embodiment, it is preferable that the object can be transmitted from the player to another predetermined player. According to such a configuration, it is possible to further enhance the effect of improving communication between players and the effect of improving interest in the game.
