In this embodiment, the information processing program 41 shown in FIG. 3 is a program that causes the server 20 to function as a game processing section 41a, a selection reception section 41b, an execution mode determination section 41c, and a notification generation section 41d.

The game processing unit 41a executes basic information processing of the game such as generating and drawing objects, progressing the game, and controlling characters, including outputting images, sounds, vibrations, etc. to be displayed on the terminal device. For example, various information processes such as progress of the game, execution of a lottery system, switching of modes, and execution of events are executed.

In this embodiment, the game processing unit 41a can execute the first information processing S1 and the second information processing S2 based on at least the information processing mode, as shown in FIG.

The first information processing S1 and the second information processing S2 are steps in which information processing regarding the game to be executed on the player terminal 30 is executed according to preset conditions, respectively.

This first information processing S1 performs various operations such as, for example, drawing an object at a preset drawing speed, drawing an object at a preset resolution and brightness, and moving an object at a preset motion speed. Information processing is performed. In the first mode in which the first information processing S1 is executed, the terminal device outputs data with preset time (length), image quality, sound quality, volume, vibration, etc. In the first mode in which the first information processing S1 is executed, the second information processing S2
Compared to the second mode in which the game is executed, more luxurious (flashy) in-game effects are output from the user's terminal device (screen display, audio output, vibration output, etc.).

In this embodiment, the second information processing S2 is a process in which power consumption is suppressed compared to the first information processing S1, that is, the time and quality of information processing (image quality, sound quality, volume) are lower than that of the first information processing S1. ,
This is a step in which processing regarding game elements generated and output by the player terminal 30 is executed so as to reduce or reduce vibrations and save power. In the second mode in which the second information processing S2 is executed, simpler (unglamorous) in-game effects, etc. are output from the user's terminal device (screen display, audio output, vibration output, etc.). In the second mode, information processing such as low image quality, low sound quality, low volume, and low vibration is performed for a shorter time than in the first mode. The second information processing S2 is not limited to processing that generates images and sounds output by the player terminal 30 in real time, but also includes low-resolution images (including videos) exclusively for the second mode prepared in advance and stored in the storage unit. , information processing that suppresses power consumption by outputting audio or the like.

In this second information processing S2, any information processing that is more power-saving than the first information processing S1 may be performed, but for example, playback of effects displayed on the player terminal, etc. Shorten the time, draw objects with lower resolution or brightness (for example, make the game screen darker), make the movement of objects rougher, reduce various audio outputs such as BGM when an event occurs (or It is assumed that information processing such as muting (muting), reducing the magnitude, duration, or number of vibrations is performed. Note that the selection of the information processing mode is not limited to two stages, and there may be three or more stages of options. In other words, the second
There are power consumption modes that the user can select, such as a third information process in which power consumption is further suppressed than the information processing S2, and a fourth information process in which power consumption is further suppressed than the third information process. There may be three or more options. In that case, the modes with the highest power consumption are
It may be set to "large, medium, small" or may be set to "performance mode 1, production mode 2, production mode 3, production mode 4, etc.".

The selection reception unit 41b shown in FIG. 3 has a first mode in which a preset first information processing S1 is performed, and a second mode in which a second information processing S2 is performed in which power consumption is suppressed relative to the first information processing. A selection of an information processing mode during charging, which is executed while the terminal device is connected to a power source and the storage battery is being charged, is received among a plurality of information processing modes including the above information processing mode. The selection reception unit 41b of this embodiment selects the game processing unit 41 based on the operation of the player 2 via the player terminal 30.
A selection of either a first mode in which the first information processing S1 is executed by a and a second mode in which the second information processing S2 is executed is accepted.

In this embodiment, the selection reception unit 41b executes the first information processing S1 when the player terminal 30 is connected to a power source, or performs the second information processing S1 when the player terminal 30 is connected to a power source. It is possible to accept any selection of executing process S2.

Note that the selection receiving unit 41b selects a non-charging information processing mode, which is executed while the terminal device is not connected to a power source and the storage battery is not being charged, among the plurality of information processing modes.
The information processing mode may be accepted in the same way as the information processing mode during charging.

The execution mode determining unit 41c can determine which information processing mode to execute among the plurality of information processing modes based on the information received by the selection accepting unit 41b. For example, if the user has previously selected the first mode as the information processing mode during charging (for example, automatic power saving OFF during charging in FIG. 6), the execution mode determining unit 41c determines that the terminal device is connected to the power source. While the storage battery is being charged, a first mode in which the first information processing S1 is executed is selected. On the other hand, if the user has previously selected the second mode as the information processing mode during charging (automatic power saving ON during charging in FIG. 6), the execution mode determining unit 41c determines whether the terminal device is connected to the power source or not. While the storage battery is being charged, a second mode in which the second information processing S2 is executed is selected.

Note that the execution mode determination unit 41c can also determine the information processing mode during non-charging (non-power supply connection). For example, if the user selects in advance the information processing mode during non-charging and the selection receiving unit 41b accepts the information processing mode (for example, automatic power saving ON or OFF during non-charging in FIG.
), the first mode or the second mode is determined based on the selection. Furthermore, if the user has not previously selected an information processing mode during non-charging, a preset information processing mode may be determined. In this way, the execution mode determination unit 41c can determine the information processing mode based on the information as to whether the terminal device is being charged (or not) and the information received by the selection reception unit 41b. information processing is executed in the determined information processing mode.

The execution mode determining unit 41c may further determine the information processing mode based on other information such as the remaining battery level. For example, the information processing mode may be determined based on the information received by the selection receiving unit 41b only when the remaining battery level is below a predetermined value (such as 20%). In that case, if the remaining battery level exceeds a predetermined value (20%, etc.), the selection receiving unit 4
Regardless of the information received in 1b, a preset information processing mode (for example, the first mode or the second mode) is determined.

Further, the execution mode determining unit 41c determines the information processing mode based on the information received by the selection accepting unit 41b only when the remaining battery level is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (30%, etc.). Good too. In that case, if the remaining battery level is less than a predetermined value (such as 30%), the preset information processing mode (for example, the second
mode or first mode). In this way, by also referring to the remaining battery level, you can, for example, switch to power-saving mode when there is not enough remaining battery power, or, conversely, switch to normal mode (non-power-saving mode) when there is sufficient remaining battery power. You can make it happen.

Further, in this case, the predetermined value of the remaining battery level may be a value that is set in advance and cannot be changed by the user, or may be a value that can be set and changed based on user input.

The notification generation unit 41d generates a notification regarding the information processing mode to the user using the terminal device based on preset conditions. The preset conditions are determined by the execution mode determining unit 41.
c, the information processing mode can be determined, the information processing mode can be changed, the charging of the terminal device can be started, the charging can be canceled (cancellation of the power supply connection to the terminal device), etc., but there is no particular limitation. The notification regarding the information processing mode may be, for example, a notification indicating the start or end of execution of the information processing mode (e.g., power saving mode, non-power saving mode, etc.), or may be a notification indicating a change in the information processing mode. good. Further, the notification generation unit 41d may generate a notification to the user when the remaining charge amount of the storage battery reaches a preset remaining battery amount.

6, 7, and 8 are diagrams showing examples of screen interfaces of games provided by the information processing system 10. As illustrated, the selection reception unit 41b accepts selections via slide bars B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, and B6 displayed on the game setting screen interface, and numerical input units C1, C2, and C3. will be implemented.

In this embodiment, an information processing mode during charging and an information processing mode during non-charging can be selected. If "Automatic power saving while charging" is "ON", the selection to execute the second information processing S2 (second mode) during charging is accepted, and "Automatic power saving while charging" is "ON".
FF", a selection to execute the first information processing S1 (first mode) during charging is accepted. In addition, if the "automatic power saving during non-charging" shown in FIG. 7 is "ON", the second information processing S2
(Second mode) accepts in advance the selection to execute while not charging, "Automatic power saving while not charging"
is "OFF", a selection to perform the first information processing S1 (first mode) during non-charging is accepted in advance.

The selection accepting unit 41b may accept a range designation of the remaining battery level as a condition for applying the selected information processing mode during charging. In Figures 6 and 7, if the user selects "ON" for "Battery Remaining Condition", the above battery remaining condition is applied; if the user selects "OFF", the battery remaining condition is applied. is not applicable. That is, when the user selects "OFF" for the "remaining battery level condition", the information processing mode accepted by the selection reception unit 41b is executed while charging or not charging, regardless of the remaining battery level. Then, "Battery Remaining Conditions"
is “ON”, the user can input a numerical value of the remaining battery level to which the remaining battery level condition is applied. In the numerical range of 99% to 1% corresponding to the charge amount of the storage battery 33, the player 2 sets a value (for example, 20%) corresponding to the desired charge amount (remaining battery level of the storage battery 33) in units of 1%. It is configured so that it can be done. Note that when the "battery remaining amount condition" is "OFF", the function may be restricted so that numerical input of the remaining battery amount is not possible, or it may be possible to always input a numerical value. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, the second mode is executed as the information processing mode during charging only when the remaining battery level is 20% or less, and when the remaining battery level exceeds 20%, the second mode is executed as the information processing mode during charging. The first mode is executed as follows. In the example of FIG. 7, the second mode is executed as the non-charging information processing mode only when the remaining battery level is 20% or less, and when the battery level is over 20%, the second mode is executed as the non-charging information processing mode. The first mode is executed as follows.

In the present embodiment, the game application stored in the control unit 31 generates a notification regarding the information processing mode to the user using the terminal device based on preset conditions, and sends the output notification to the player terminal 30. Equipped with a function to notify the amount of charge generated. For example, if the user selects "ON" for the "power saving mode notification" shown in FIG.
When the information processing mode (e.g., power saving mode, non-power saving mode, etc.) starts or ends during non-charging, a notification to that effect is output from the terminal device (specifically,
("Started power saving mode", "Ended power saving mode", etc.). The notification is displayed on the display 32 of the player terminal 30 using, for example, an icon or text data, or generated as a sound or vibration. When the user selects "OFF" for the "power saving mode notification" shown in FIG. 8, the notification regarding the information processing mode is not executed.

The game application stored in the control unit 31 sends a notification generated and output by the notification generation unit 41d to the player terminal 30 when the amount of charge of the storage battery 33 reaches a preset amount of charge.
Equipped with a function to notify the amount of charge generated. In addition, notification of the amount of charge will be sent when the specified amount of charge is reached as the remaining battery level increases due to charging ("Charge amount has recovered to 20%").
etc.), or it may be a case where the predetermined charge amount is reached in the process of reducing the remaining battery power due to power consumption (such as "the charge amount has decreased to 20%").

This charge amount notification function, as shown in FIG.
The player 2 is configured to be able to set a numerical value (for example, 20%) corresponding to a desired amount of charge (remaining battery level of the storage battery 33) in units of 1% in the numerical range of %. Also, Figure 8
By the user selecting either "ON" or "OFF" for "remaining battery charge notification" in , it is possible to determine whether or not to execute the charge amount notification function based on the user's request.
Note that when the "remaining battery charge notification" is "ON", the charge amount notification function is executed, and when it is "OFF", it is not executed.

When the remaining battery level of the storage battery 33 reaches the value set by the player 2, in this embodiment, a notification that the remaining battery level has reached the set value is displayed on the display of the player terminal 30, for example, by an icon or text data. 32 or generated as sound or vibration.

In the present embodiment, the game is executed on the player terminal 30 based on the processing by the game processing section 41a, the selection reception section 41b, the execution mode determination section 41c, the notification generation section 41d, and the like.

In this embodiment, the player terminal 30 shown in FIG. 1 is implemented as a smartphone which is a portable information terminal, but for example, it may be a game-dedicated terminal, a tablet type, a desktop type, etc.
It may also be implemented by a notebook computer or the like.

In the embodiment described above, when the player terminal 30 is connected to the power source, the selection reception unit 4
Although the case where information processing is executed based on the selection received at player terminal 3 has been described,
0 is not connected to a power source, the configuration may be such that information processing based on the selection received by the selection reception unit 41b is executed.

For example, the configuration may be such that information processing is always executed based on the selection received by the selection receiving unit 41b when the game is executed, or the remaining battery level of the player terminal 30 may be set to a preset remaining battery level. In this case, the configuration may be such that information processing is executed based on the selection received by the selection reception unit 41b.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the information processing program 41 stored in the server 20 executes information processing related to the game (first information processing S1 and second information processing S2) on the player terminal 30. An information processing program 41 may be stored in the player terminal 30, and the information processing program 41 may be configured to execute information processing related to the game on the player terminal 30. In this case, in this system, all information processing may be performed only by each player terminal (information processing terminal) without providing a server.

Further, the power mode may be set for each function within the game. For example, a training function that trains game characters and items to improve their abilities, a loop function that manually or automatically goes through game units such as in-game quests to acquire game media such as items, and a lottery that runs a lottery game. For each function, the player selects and inputs the information processing mode from the above information processing mode options, and the player selects the information processing mode (connected to power or not connected to power) for each function. It may be possible to do so. Information such as options regarding in-game functions is stored in advance in the storage area 40, and power mode settings for each function are stored in association with each player.

Further, it may be possible to set a schedule for selecting an information processing mode while connected to a power source or not connected to a power source. For example, "Automatic power saving when connected to a power source will be turned on from 10:00 to 12:00 on Mondays" for a specified time period such as a specific day of the week, year, month, day, etc.
The player may be able to select and set temporal conditions such as start time and end time and information processing mode. Information such as options for various temporal conditions is stored in advance in the storage area 40, and a schedule is stored in association with each player based on each player's selection. In addition, automatic power saving will be turned on for two hours from the current time.
The start time may be set to the current time, and the end time may be set after a predetermined time.

Further, depending on the selection of the information processing mode while connected to a power source or not connected to a power source, a charging completion time or a charging time until charging is completed may be calculated and displayed on the player terminal. Information regarding the charging completion time or calculation of the charging time until charging is completed is stored in advance in the storage area 4.
It is stored in 0. The information regarding the calculation is, for example, information on the time required to recover (increase) the remaining battery capacity by 1% in each information processing mode. The control unit 31 can calculate the time required to complete charging in each information processing mode based on the information and the value obtained by subtracting the current battery remaining amount (%) from 100 (%). . in this case,
For example, by displaying the charging completion time (or time until charging completion) according to each information processing mode on the screen of the player terminal when selecting one of multiple information processing modes, the charging completion time can be confirmed. Then, depending on the player's request, the player can select an information processing mode of turning automatic power saving ON or OFF.
