Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[Game Overview]
First, the outline of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. In the game according to the present embodiment, the pose of the character displayed on the game screen can be changed according to the user's operation. A character is an object indicating a person, an animal, an object (for example, a vehicle) appearing in the game. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen according to the present embodiment. In the illustrated game screen G10, the character C1 indicates a character image of the character displayed on the game screen. Regions a1 to a9 indicate user interfaces that are operation targets when an operation for selecting a pose taken by the character C1 is received. Here, the character C1 indicates an object displayed on the game screen G10 so that it can be visually recognized by the user. On the other hand, the illustrated areas a1 to a9 represent the areas visualized, and do not indicate what is actually displayed.

  Of the regions a1 to a9, the regions a1 to a8 are arranged radially around the region a9. Eight areas, areas a1 to a8, are associated with different poses, and are selection areas for receiving an operation for selecting a pose taken by the character C1. When the character C1 is displayed on the game screen, it initially takes a preset default pose and is operated by the user on one of the selection areas a1 to a8 (for example, a touch operation that touches the screen with a finger). ), The character C1 takes a pose associated with the operated area. While the finger continues to touch any one of the selection areas a1 to a8, the character C1 continues to take a pose associated with that area, and returns to the default pose when the finger leaves. Note that the character C1 also returns to the default pose when the finger is moved outside the selection areas a1 to a8.

  Further, when the finger slides to another selection area in a state where the finger is kept in contact, the pose is changed to be associated with the selection area of the slide destination. At this time, the pose is not changed suddenly, but the pose is gradually changed by gradually changing the blend ratio of the slide source and slide destination pose data. Thereby, the movement of the change of the pose of the character C1 becomes a continuous movement so that there is no sense of incongruity. Various movements can be given to the character C1 according to the movement route of the contact position of the finger with respect to the selected region.

  Also, the central portion area a9 is a non-selectable area in which no pose is associated and a pose cannot be selected. Since the central area is not a selection area for selecting a pose, the operability of an operation of changing a pose by sliding a finger can be improved. For example, when the finger is slid, it passes through the non-selectable area a9 in the center part, and it becomes easy to move to the target destination without passing through other selection areas, so an unnecessary pose is entered on the way. Can be eliminated. When the finger is slid to the non-selectable area a9 in the central portion, the selection of the selection area that the finger touched immediately before may be maintained or may be released.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image actually displayed on the game screen. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing only selected areas displayed on the game screen of FIG. The areas a1 to a9 are arranged so as to overlap the display area of the character C1. In the selection areas a1 to a8, a selection icon indicating each selection area can be displayed, but in a state where the selection icon is not selected, the transmittance of the selection icon is set to 100%. The non-selectable area a9 corresponds to a state in which there is no display corresponding to the area and the transmittance is always set to 100%. That is, in the state where none of the selection areas a1 to a8 is selected, the entire background character C1 is visible. Note that at least part of the selection areas a1 to a8 may be arranged so as to overlap with at least part of the display area of the character C1. When one of the selection areas a1 to a8 is selected by the user's operation, the transmittance of the selected selection area decreases, and the selection icon indicating the selection area becomes visible. The selection icon has a shape of a range corresponding to each selection area, and includes a simple image indicating a pose set in each selection area. As for the selection area where the transmittance is reduced, the selection icon can be visually recognized, but the visibility of the character C1 is reduced. The visibility is an index of ease of visual recognition. Hereinafter, the selected area being selected is also referred to as “selected area”, and the selected area not selected is also referred to as “non-selected area”.

  In the illustrated example, the selection area a4 is selected by a user's touch operation. The transmittance of the selected area a4 being touched is set lower than that of the non-selected area, so that the selection icon as the display of the selected area a4 is easily visible. That is, the visibility of the character C1 in the selected area a4 is set lower than the visibility of the character C1 in the non-selected area.

  On the other hand, the transmittance of the non-selected region is set higher than the transmittance of the currently selected region a4 so that the character C1 can be easily seen. That is, the visibility of the character C1 in the non-selected area is set higher than the visibility of the character C1 in the selected area a4. In the illustrated example, the transmittance of the non-selected areas a1, a7, and a8 (see FIG. 3) is 100%, and the selection icon is not displayed completely. For this reason, the visibility of the character C1 in the non-selected areas a1, a7, and a8 is higher than the visibility of the character C1 in the selected area a4.

  Further, the transmittance of the non-selected areas a3 and a5 adjacent to the selected area a4 is set higher than that of the selected area a4 but lower than the other non-selected areas a1, a7, and a8. The selection icon is easier to visually recognize than a7 and a8. Thereby, the pose after the change of the character C1 when the finger is slightly slid to the non-selected area adjacent to the selected area becomes easy to recognize, and the operability is good. Further, the non-selection regions a3 and a5 adjacent to the selected region a4 are not set to have a lower transmittance than the non-selected regions a1, a7, and a8, but the non-selected regions that are closer to the selected region a4 gradually. The transmittance may be set to be low. For example, in the illustrated example, the transmittances of the non-selected areas a2 and a6 are set higher than the non-selected areas a3 and a5 adjacent to the selected area a4 but lower than the non-selected areas a1, a7, and a8. Yes.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the visibility of the character C1 is good in the non-selected area where the user is not touching, and the selection icon is visible in the selected area where the user is touching and the non-selected area adjacent thereto. Therefore, it is possible to provide a user interface with improved operability while ensuring the visibility of the character C1.

Next, the system configuration of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

The user terminal 10 will be described. Although three user terminals 10 are illustrated here, an arbitrary number of user terminals 10 may be connected to the game server 30.

  The game server 30 is a server device that provides a game that can be executed on the user terminal 10. For example, the game server 30 provides a game control program (game control program) executable on the user terminal 10 so as to be downloadable from the user terminal 10. Note that the game server 30 may store various setting information and history information necessary for the game executed on the user terminal 10, and may transmit the information to the user terminal 10 as necessary. The game control program downloaded by the user terminal 10 is not limited to the game server 30 and may be stored in another downloadable server device.

  The user terminal 10 functions as a game device that executes a game control program downloaded from the game server 30. For example, the user terminal 10 is a computer device used by a user, and is applied to a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet PC, a mobile phone such as a smartphone or a feature phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a game machine, or the like. it can. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10 will be described as a smartphone.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment. The user terminal 10 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a communication unit 12, an input unit 13, a display unit 14, and a storage unit 15, and a game server 30 connected via a network NW, Communication with other devices and the like is performed via the communication unit 12. These components are connected via a bus so that they can communicate with each other. The CPU 11 executes various programs stored in the storage unit 15 and controls each unit of the user terminal 10.

The communication unit 12 includes, for example, a plurality of Ethernet (registered trademark) ports, a plurality of digital input / output ports such as a USB, and the like. Based on the control by the CPU 11, the game server 30 and other devices are connected via the network NW. Communicate with devices.

The user terminal 10 may be configured to include hardware configurations such as a speaker (not shown), an audio output terminal, a camera, a gyro sensor, and a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiving module.

[Functional configuration of user terminal 10]
Next, the functional configuration of the user terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment.

  The user terminal 10 includes a game control unit 110 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 11 executing a game control program stored in the storage unit 15. The game control unit 110 includes an operation detection unit 111, a selection region setting unit 112, a selection region determination unit 113, a character display control unit 114, and a selection region display control unit 115.

  The operation detection unit 111 detects a user operation on at least a part of the display area of the display unit 14. For example, the operation detection unit 111 acquires operation information output from the input unit 13 according to the user's operation, and detects the user's operation based on the acquired operation information.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the selection area setting unit 112 has a plurality of selection areas a <b> 1 to a <b> 8 that can be selected by a user operation so as to be superimposed on the character C <b> 1 displayed on the game screen G <b> 10 displayed on the display unit 14. Place. For example, the selection area setting unit 112 is arranged so that at least a part of the plurality of selection areas a1 to a8 overlaps at least a part of the display area of the character C1. The selection area setting unit 112 arranges the non-selectable area a9 in the same manner as the arrangement of the selection areas a1 to a8.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the selection area setting unit 112 arranges a plurality of selection areas (for example, selection areas a1 to a8) in a radial pattern. The selection area setting unit 112 sets a predetermined area at the center of the plurality of selection areas arranged radially as an unselectable area (for example, an unselectable area a9).

  Based on the user's operation detected by the operation detection unit 111, the selection region determination unit 113 is a selected region in which each of the plurality of selection regions is selected by the user's operation, or is selected by the user's operation. It is determined whether the area is a non-selected area.

  The character display control unit 114 displays the character C1 on the display unit 14 and changes the pose (posture) of the character C1 according to which of the plurality of selection areas is the selected area. For example, each of the selection areas a1 to a8 is associated with the pose of the character C1, and the character display control unit 114 determines which of the selection areas a1 to a8 is the currently selected area. To change the pose of the character C1.

In addition, the character display control unit 114 continues the user's operation after the user selects one of the plurality of selection regions a1 to a8 by the user's operation (touches the finger) (the finger There operation of state) user continues to contact when moved into the unselectable area a9, maintaining a pose of the character C1 displayed by selection to the previous selection.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the selection area display control unit 115 is configured so that the visibility of the character C1 displayed in the non-selection area is higher than that of the character C1 displayed in the selection area. Control the transmittance. For example, the visibility of the character C1 is a degree according to the transmittance of the display (selection icon) of each of the plurality of selection areas. The visibility of the character C1 is higher as the transmittance of the display (selected icon) of the selected region is higher, and the visibility of the character C1 is lower as the transmittance is lower. That is, the selection area display control unit 115 displays a plurality of selection areas (selection icons) so that the visibility of the character C1 displayed in the non-selection area is higher than that of the character C1 displayed in the selection area. The transmittance of each is controlled.

  The selection area display control unit 115 also displays the character C1 displayed in the non-selection area (for example, the selection areas a3 and a5 illustrated in FIG. 2) adjacent to the selected area (for example, the selection area a4 illustrated in FIG. 2). Transparent display of each selection area (selection icon) so that the visibility is lower than the visibility of the character C1 displayed in other non-selection areas (for example, selection areas a1, a7, a8 shown in FIG. 2). The rate may be controlled.

  Further, the selected area display control unit 115 may control the transmittance of the display (selected icon) of the non-selected area based on the positional relationship from the currently selected area (for example, the selected area a4 shown in FIG. 2). . The positional relationship is a distance or direction from the selected area. For example, the selected area display control unit 115 may control the non-selected area closer to the currently selected area so that the transmittance gradually decreases.

  Note that the degree of visibility of the character C1 may be a degree according to the shielding rate at which the character C1 is shielded in each of the plurality of selection areas. Here, the occlusion rate is the ratio of the amount of data (area) that the superimposed image data (character C1) is influenced by the superimposed image data (selected icon). For example, when the selected area is displayed (selected icon), it is in a shielded state (shielding rate 100%), and where it is not displayed is not shielded (shielding rate 0%). For example, the image data (selection area) on the overlapping side may be configured by a shielding area and a non-shielding area in a mesh shape, and the shielding ratio (that is, the ratio of the shielding area to the selection area (which is shielded from the selection area). The ratio)) may include a state between 100% and 0%. In this case, the selection area display control unit 115 controls the shielding rate instead of the transmittance of the display (selection icons) of the plurality of selection areas. Note that the selection area display control unit 115 may control both the transmittance and the shielding rate. It can also be said that the transmittance is the degree of change when the superimposed image data (character C1) changes depending on the superimposed image data (selected icon).

[Game processing operations]
Next, the operation of the game process will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the game process according to the present embodiment.

  First, the character display control unit 114 displays the character C1 on the game screen G10 (see FIG. 2). The pose of the character C1 displayed at this time is a default pose (step S100; character image display process). Further, the selection area setting unit 112 arranges a plurality of selection areas a1 to a8 and a non-selectable area a9 that can be selected by the user's operation so as to be superimposed on the character C1 displayed on the game screen G10 (see FIG. 2). (Step S200; selection area arrangement processing).

  Next, the operation detection unit 111 detects a user operation on at least a part of the display area (game screen G10) of the display unit 14 (step S300; operation detection process). Subsequently, the selection area determination unit 113 is a currently selected area in which each of the plurality of selection areas a1 to a8 is selected by a user operation based on the user operation detected by the operation detection unit 111. Alternatively, it is determined whether the area is a non-selected area that has not been selected by the user's operation (step S400; selected area determination process).

  Then, the selection area display control unit 115 transmits the transmittances of the plurality of selection areas a1 to a8 so that the visibility of the character C1 displayed in the non-selected area is higher than that of the character C1 displayed in the selected area. (Step S500; selection area display control process). The character display control unit 114 changes the pose of the character C1 according to which of the plurality of selection areas is the currently selected area (step S600; character image display mode control process). And it returns to the operation detection process of step S300.

  Note that either the character image display process in step S100 and the selection area arrangement process in step S200 may be performed first or in parallel. In addition, the selection area display control process in step S500 and the character image display mode control process in step S600 may be performed first or in parallel.

  Next, the details of steps S300 to S500 (selection region control processing) in FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the selection area control process according to the present embodiment. Here, a user operation on the game screen G10 illustrated in FIG. 2 will be described as an example.

  First, the operation detection unit 111 detects a user operation on at least a part of the display area (game screen G10) of the display unit 14 (step S301). For example, the operation detection unit 111 detects a user operation on any of the selection areas a1 to a8, and determines whether or not there is an operation (step S303). For example, when the operation detection unit 111 does not detect a user operation on any of the selection areas a1 to a8 (NO), the operation detection unit 111 returns to the process of step S301 and continues to detect the user operation. On the other hand, if the operation detection unit 111 detects a user operation on any of the selection areas a1 to a8 (YES), the operation detection unit 111 proceeds to the process of step S401.

  Based on the user operation detected by the operation detection unit 111, the selection area determination unit 113 determines whether or not each of the plurality of selection areas is a currently selected area selected by the user operation (step S401). ). For example, the selection area determination unit 113 determines the selection area a4 determined to be the currently selected area (YES) as the currently selected area (step S403). The selection area display control unit 115 sets the transmittance of the selection icon of the selection area a4 determined as the currently selected area to 20% and displays it (step S501).

  On the other hand, the selection area determination unit 113 determines the selection areas a1 to a3 and a5 to a9 determined as not being selected (NO) as non-selection areas (step S405). In addition, the selection area determination unit 113 determines whether each non-selection area is adjacent to the selected area (step S407). For example, the selection area determination unit 113 determines that the non-selection areas a3 and a5 are adjacent to the selected area a4 (YES), and sets the non-selection areas a1, a2, a6, a7, and a8 as the selected area a4. It is determined that they are not adjacent (NO). The selected area display control unit 115 sets the transmittance of the selected icons of the non-selected areas a3 and a5 determined to be adjacent to the selected area a4 to 40% and displays it (step S503).

  On the other hand, for the non-selected areas a1, a2, a6, a7, and a8 that are determined not to be adjacent to the selected area a4, the selected area determination unit 113 sets the non-selected areas a3 and a5 adjacent to the selected area a4. It is determined whether or not they are adjacent to each other (step S409). For example, the selection area determination unit 113 determines that the non-selection areas a2 and a6 are adjacent to the non-selection areas a3 and a5 (YES), and sets the non-selection areas a1, a7, and a8 as non-selection areas a3 and a5. It is determined that they are not adjacent (NO).

  The selection area display control unit 115 sets the transmittance of the selection icons of the non-selection areas a2 and a6 determined to be adjacent to the non-selection areas a3 and a5 to 60% for display (step S505). In addition, the selection area display control unit 115 sets the transmittance of the selection icons of the non-selection areas a1, a7, and a8 determined not to be adjacent to the non-selection areas a3 and a5 to 100% and displays them (Step S1). S507).

  Note that the processes in steps S300 to S500 may be executed for the entire selection area, or may be executed sequentially for each selection area.

[Summary of Embodiment]
As described above, the user terminal 10 (an example of a terminal device) according to the present embodiment includes the operation detection unit 111, the selection region setting unit 112, the selection region determination unit 113, and the character display control unit 114 (specific identification). An example of an image display control unit) and a selection area display control unit 115 are provided. The operation detection unit 111 detects an operation on an operation target (for example, the selection areas a1 to a8 and the non-selectable area a9 illustrated in FIG. 1 and the like) corresponding to at least a part of the display area of the display unit 14. The selection area setting unit 112 selects a plurality of selections that can be selected by the above operation in at least a part of the display area of the character image (an example of the specific image. For example, the character C1 shown in FIG. 1 or the like) displayed on the display unit 14. A plurality of selection areas are arranged so that at least a part of areas (for example, selection areas a1 to a8 shown in FIG. 1 and the like) overlap. Based on the operation detected by the operation detection unit 111, the selection area determination unit 113 is a non-selected area where each of the plurality of selection areas is selected by the operation or not selected by the operation. It is determined whether the selected area. The character display control unit 114 displays the character image on the display unit 14 and changes the display mode (for example, pose) of the character image according to which of the plurality of selection areas is the selected area. The selection area display control unit 115 controls the display mode of the plurality of selection areas so that the visibility of the character image displayed in the non-selected area is higher than that of the character image displayed in the selected area.

  Here, the display area of the character image indicates an area where the character image is displayed, an area set for displaying the character image, an area where the character image can be displayed, and the like. In addition, at least a part of the plurality of selection areas that can be selected by the above operation is superimposed on at least a part of the display area of the character image. For example, there is an area common to the display area and the selection area of the character image. It is displayed on the display unit 14 in a state.

  Note that the determination method of the selected region and the non-selected region may be as follows. First, the operation detection unit 111 specifies the coordinates of the operation position. The selection area setting unit 112 specifies the currently selected area from the specified coordinates. Then, the selection area setting unit 112 specifies a non-selection area including an adjacent area from the specified selected area.

  As a result, the user terminal 10 ensures the visibility of the character image because the visibility of the character image is good in the non-selection area and the visibility of the selection area is good in the selection area. A user interface with improved operability can be provided.

  In this embodiment, the example in which the pose (posture) changes is described as an example in which the display mode of the character image changes according to the user's operation. However, the size, shape, color, and the like are not limited to the pose. You may make it do. Further, the action (movement) of the character image may be changed according to the user's operation. That is, the character display control unit 114 may change the movement (motion, action, etc.) of the character image according to which of the plurality of selection areas is the selected area. Further, although a character image has been described as an example, the display mode of an arbitrary specific image may be changed without being limited to the character image.

  Here, the degree of visibility of the character image is a degree corresponding to the display transmittance of each of the plurality of selection areas, and is an index of ease of visual recognition of the character image. Thereby, the user terminal 10 can control the visibility of the character image and the visibility of the selected region by controlling the display transmittance of each of the plurality of selected regions.

  The degree of visibility of the character image may be a degree according to the shielding rate at which the character image is shielded in each of the plurality of selection areas. Thereby, the user terminal 10 can control the visibility of the character image and the visibility of the selected area by controlling the shielding rate of the display of each of the plurality of selected areas.

  For example, the selected area display control unit 115 performs control so that the visibility of the character image displayed in the non-selected area adjacent to the selected area is lower than the visibility of the character image displayed in the other non-selected area. To do. Thereby, the user terminal 10 can easily recognize the pose after the change of the character image when the finger is slightly slid to the non-selected area adjacent to the selected area, and the operability is good.

  The selected area display control unit 115 may control the display mode of the non-selected area based on the positional relationship from the selected area. The positional relationship is a distance or direction from the selected area. As a result, the user terminal 10 can easily recognize the pose after the change of the character image when the finger is slid continuously from the selected region to the nearby non-selected region, and the operability is good.

  The selection area setting unit 112 arranges each of the plurality of selection areas in a radial manner. Thus, the user terminal 10 can intuitively perform an operation of selecting a pose of the character image according to the position and direction of each part of the character image.

  The selection area setting unit 112 sets a predetermined area at the center of the plurality of selection areas arranged radially as an unselectable non-selectable area. As a result, when the user terminal 10 slides the finger, the user terminal 10 can easily move to the target destination without passing through another selection area by passing through the non-selectable area in the center portion. Thus, it is possible to eliminate an unnecessary (unintended) pose of the character image.

Here, the character display control unit 114, after any of the selected region of the plurality of selected regions is selected by the operation of the operation object corresponding to the selected region, the manipulation is selected while operation is continued When moving to the operation target corresponding to the unusable area, the display mode of the character image displayed by the selection to the immediately preceding selection area may be maintained. Thereby, when the user terminal 10 slides the finger, the user terminal 10 can eliminate the unnecessary (unintended) pose of the character image in the middle of the operation by passing through the non-selectable region in the center portion. At the same time, the change from the movement source pose to the movement destination pose can be a continuous change without interruption.

  Note that the selection area may increase as the game progresses. For example, there are one to two poses that can be selected at the beginning of the game, and one or two selection areas are arranged. When a new pose is acquired as the game progresses, a selection area corresponding to the acquired pose is added, and the number of selection areas to be arranged increases. At this time, the selection area display control unit 115 may control the newly added selection area so that the transmittance of the selection area is lowered to make the selection area noticeable.

  In addition, the selection area display control unit 115 is configured to change the display contents of the selection area (that is, the pose corresponding to the selection area) (for example, the content of the pose is slightly flashy). You may make it stand out by reducing the transmittance. That is, the selection area display control unit 115 may perform control so that the visibility of the character image displayed in the selection area newly added or the display content is changed is lowered. Thereby, the user terminal 10 can make a user recognize easily the newly added or changed selection area | region.

When any one of the plurality of selection areas is selected by a user operation , the selection area display control unit 115 displays the selected character image displayed in the selected area in the non-selected area. When the display mode of the plurality of selected areas is controlled so that the visibility of the selected character image is higher, and the operation for the selected area is continuously performed, the character displayed in the selected area You may control the display mode of at least one part of a some selection area so that the visibility of an image may become higher than the visibility at the time of the said control .

  For example, when the touch operation is continuously performed on the selected selection area and there is no movement to another selection area for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the transmittance of all the selection areas is increased. You may do it. Thereby, the user terminal 10 can consider that there is no intention of a user sliding a finger | toe when operation with respect to the same selection area | region is performed continuously, and can improve the visibility of a character image rather than a selection area | region. .

  Further, the selection area display control unit 115 sets the visibility of the character image displayed in the selection area changed from the non-selection area to the selection area to be lower than the visibility before the change, and displays the operation history of the operation. Based on this, the timing for changing the visibility may be set. The operation history is the number of times the selected area is selected or the time when the selected area is being selected.

  For example, the selection area display control unit 115 displays the selection area at the moment when the finger is brought into contact with any of the selection areas, but an operation for selecting the selection area is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, four times) or more. In this case, the selected area may be hidden after the next time. Accordingly, since the display of the selection area is an obstacle to the user who has learned which pose has the selection area, it can be prevented from being displayed. Moreover, it can be set as a suitable display mode by the user's proficiency level of the display area. Alternatively, the selection area display control unit 115 may provide a time lag at the next display timing when the operation of selecting the selection area is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, four times) or more. For example, since the selection area may not be displayed again, it may be desired to display it again. Therefore, the selection area display control unit 115 may provide a time lag so that it will be displayed again if the button is held down for a long time. Good. In addition, when the display is made again, the selection area display control unit 115 may display it without time lag from the next time.

  In addition, the selection area display control unit 115 may change the transmittance based on a history of selection areas (for example, selection frequency). For example, the selection area display control unit 115 may increase the transmittance of a selection area selected many times (that is, a selection area with a high selection frequency).

As described above, the recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The recording medium also includes a recording medium provided inside or outside that is accessible from the distribution server in order to distribute the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the code of the program that can be executed by the terminal device. That is, the format stored in the distribution server is not limited as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a form that can be executed by the terminal device. Note that the program may be divided into a plurality of parts, downloaded at different timings, and combined in the terminal device, or the distribution server that distributes each of the divided programs may be different. Furthermore, a “computer-readable recording medium” holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory (RAM) inside a computer system that becomes a server or client when the program is transmitted via a network. Including things. The program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Furthermore, what can implement | achieve the function mentioned above in combination with the program already recorded on the computer system, and what is called a difference file (difference program) may be sufficient.

  Moreover, you may implement | achieve the one part or all function of the above-mentioned game control part 110 as integrated circuits, such as LSI (Large Scale Integration). Each function described above may be individually made into a processor, or a part or all of them may be integrated into a processor. Further, the method of circuit integration is not limited to LSI, and may be realized by a dedicated circuit or a general-purpose processor. In addition, when an integrated circuit technology that replaces LSI appears due to the advancement of semiconductor technology, an integrated circuit based on the technology may be used.
