JP, 2003-000954, A

In the game system as described above, in the initial processing, a game object selected by lottery from a plurality of game objects (game characters, game items, etc.) is given to the user as a game object held by the user at the start of the game. There is a case. In such a game system, a user who cannot obtain the desired game object interrupts the initial process or resets the settings made by the initial process in order to re-select the game object. There may be a case where the game start request is again made later and the initial process is executed again from the beginning. In particular, among such users, a user who intends to repeatedly execute initial processing until a desired game object is obtained by using an automatic program (BOT or the like) that automatically repeats the above procedure. Exists. Such a user's action tries to start the game in his or her own way in an unjust manner, and if such a behavior is allowed, a user who tries to start the game in a legitimate way is disadvantageous. Become. Further, the use of the automatic program may increase the load on the game system due to the initial processing being automatically repeated.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[1. Configuration of Game System] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a game terminal 10 and a server 30. The game terminal 10 can perform data communication with the server 30 via the network N.

The game terminal 10 is a computer used by a user to play a game. For example, the game terminal 10 is a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (including a tablet computer), a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a home-use game machine (a stationary game machine), a portable game machine. , Or an arcade game machine installed in a play facility or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, the game terminal 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, an operation unit 14, a display unit 15, and a voice output unit 16. The operation unit 14, the display unit 15, and the sound output unit 16 may be provided in the game terminal 10 itself, or may be provided as an external device connected to the game terminal 10.

The control unit 11 includes at least one microprocessor and executes information processing according to a program stored in the storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 includes a main storage unit (for example, a RAM) and an auxiliary storage unit (for example, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, a hard disk drive, or a solid state drive), and stores programs and data. The communication unit 13 is for performing data communication with other devices via the network N.

The operation unit 14 is for the user to perform various operations. For example, the operation unit 14 includes a pointing device such as a touch panel or a mouse. Further, for example, the operation unit 14 may include a button (key) or a lever (stick). Further, for example, the operation unit 14 may be for the user to perform an operation by voice or gesture. In the following description, it is assumed that the game terminal 10 has a touch panel.

The display unit 15 is for displaying various images, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The audio output unit 16 is for outputting audio data, and is, for example, a speaker or headphones.

The server 30 is, for example, a server computer. As shown in FIG. 1, the server 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication unit 33. The control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 are the same as the control unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the communication unit 13 of the game terminal 10. The server 30 can access the database DB. The database DB may be built in the server 30 or may be built in a server computer different from the server 30.

The program and data are supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 from a remote location via the network N and stored in the storage unit 12 or the storage unit 32. It should be noted that the game terminal 10 or the server 30 may be provided with a component (for example, an optical disk drive or a memory card slot) for reading a program or data stored in an information storage medium (for example, an optical disk or a memory card). .. Then, the program or data may be supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 via the information storage medium.

[2. Outline of Game] The game system 1 can execute various games. The game may be a client/server type game executed by data communication between the game terminal 10 and the server 30, or a standalone type game executed by the game terminal 10 alone. May be

Initial processing is executed when the game (game program) is started for the first time. The "initial processing" is processing that is executed prior to starting the game, and is processing that is necessary to start the game. The initial process may be executed by exchanging data between the game terminal 10 and the server 30 (client/server method), or may be executed by the game terminal 10 alone. (Stand-alone method).

FIG. 2 shows an example of the initial processing. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, in the initial processing, the user accepts the consent to the content usage agreement (S100). In step S100, the consent acceptance image, which is a screen image for accepting the agreement to the content usage agreement, is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the consent acceptance image. As shown in FIG. 3, the consent acceptance image G100 includes a message M105 indicating that consent to the content usage agreement is required to start the game. Note that the "contents usage rule" defines the matters that the user must agree to in order to play the game.

The consent acceptance image G100 also includes a first object P101, a second object P102, a third object P103, and a fourth object P104. The “object” here is an element (part) that constitutes a screen image and is an object to be selected by the user. For example, an image or text such as a button or icon corresponds to an example of “object”. The user selects the object by tapping the object (that is, touching and releasing a region such as a finger on the touch panel area where the object is displayed). The process is associated with the object, and when the object is selected by the user, the process associated with the object is executed.

The first object P101 is for displaying the content of the content usage agreement. That is, the first object P101 is associated with a process for displaying the contents of the content usage rule, and when the first object P101 is tapped (selected), the content of the content usage rule is displayed on the display unit 15. To be done.

The second object P102 is for indicating that the user does not agree with the content usage agreement. Therefore, the user taps the second object P102 when he/she does not agree with the content usage agreement. For example, the second object P102 is associated with a process for stopping and ending the initial process. Therefore, when the second object P102 is tapped (selected), the initial process is stopped and the game is stopped.

The fourth object P104 is for indicating that the user agrees to the content usage agreement. However, in FIG. 3, the fourth object P104 is hatched. This indicates that the fourth object P104 is set in a so-called grayed-out state (invalid state), and tapping on the fourth object P104 is invalid.

When the third object P103 is touched (that is, a finger or the like is in contact with the area on the touch panel where the third object P103 is displayed), tapping on the fourth object P104 is valid. FIG. 4 shows the consent acceptance image G100 in this case. In FIG. 4, the fourth object P104 is not shaded, which means that the fourth object P104 is set to a state that is not grayed out (valid state), and that tapping on the fourth object P104 is valid. ing.

From the above, the user needs to touch the third object P103 and tap the fourth object P104 when agreeing to the content usage agreement. That is, the user needs to touch both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104.

For example, the process of the next step S102 is associated with the fourth object P104. Therefore, when the user taps (selects) the fourth object P104 while touching the third object P103, input of user information is accepted (S102), as shown in FIG. 2, for example. In step S102, a screen image for receiving the input of user information is displayed on the display unit 15. The “user information” here is information related to the user, and is, for example, information related to the user himself (for example, name). The input user information is stored in the storage unit 12, the storage unit 32, or the database DB and used in the game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a tutorial is provided in the initial processing (S104). The "tutorial" is a mode in which the user can learn how to play the game while actually playing the game. By providing the tutorial, the user can learn how to play the game.

By the way, in a tutorial of a game in which a user uses a game character (or game item), a game character selected by lottery from among a plurality of game characters is given to the user as a game character owned by the user at the start of the game. May be done. For example, at least one selected in a lottery from game characters that cannot be obtained or are difficult to obtain after the game starts (for example, a game character with high rarity) may be given to the user. It should be noted that such game character assignment may be performed during the tutorial or after the tutorial is completed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, upon completion of the tutorial, the initial process ends, the game starts, and the user can start playing the game.

In the game system 1 described above, when both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 of the consent acceptance image G100 are in a touched state, the subsequent processing (steps S102 and S104) is executed, and the initial processing is performed. The process is complete. Even if there is a user who intends to automatically and repeatedly execute the initial processing by using the automatic program until the desired game character is obtained, the automatic program causes both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 to be executed. Since it is difficult to set the touched state, it is difficult to automatically and repeatedly execute the initial process according to the game system 1. That is, it is possible to prevent the initial process from being repeatedly executed by the automatic program.

[3. Functional Block] A configuration for realizing the above functions will be described. FIG. 5 shows an example of functional blocks realized by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the game system 1 includes a reception unit 100, a display control unit 110, a determination unit 120, and a processing control unit 130. For example, these functional blocks are realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 (an example of a game control device). Alternatively, these functional blocks may be realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30 (an example of a game control device). Alternatively, some of the functional blocks may be realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10, and the remaining functional blocks may be realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30.

The receiving unit 100 receives a process execution request. The display control unit 110 also performs control for displaying a plurality of positions to be instructed to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process on the display unit before or during the execution of the process. ..

Here, the “processing” is processing related to the game. For example, “processing” is processing for starting a game. Specifically, it is a process of making various settings for starting the game. For example, in the case of a game in which the user uses a game object (game character, game item, or the like), the game object held by the user at the start of the game is a game object selected by lottery from among a plurality of game objects. This is a case where the process given to the user is included in the “initial process”. Further, for example, the “process” may be a process of distributing (downloading to the game terminal 10) a game program or game data.

“Execution request” is to request execution of processing. “Accepting an execution request” means, for example, receiving an operation for making an execution request from a user. When the reception unit 100 is realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30, “accepting the execution request” means receiving data indicating the execution request from the game terminal 10 (terminal used by the user). It may be.

“Before execution of processing” is before the start of processing. That is, “before the execution of the process” is before the execution of the process is started (in other words, before the start of the process). Further, “during execution of processing” is in the middle of processing. That is, “during execution of processing” is after the execution of the processing is started and before the execution of the processing is completed.

"Starting the process" means starting the process from the beginning. "Continue processing" means to continue the processing being executed. “Completing the process” means that the process is normally executed to the end.

The "plurality of locations" are the plurality of locations that the user needs to instruct to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process.

The “display means” is, for example, a display device provided in the terminal used by the user. For example, a display device included in a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a mobile game machine, or the like. Further, for example, it is a display device connected to a terminal used by the user. For example, it is a display device connected to a stationary game machine or a desktop computer.

"Displaying a plurality of positions" means displaying a plurality of positions to be instructed by a user so as to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process. For example, displaying a plurality of objects respectively indicating a plurality of positions. More specifically, displaying an object at each of a plurality of positions.

"Controlling to display a plurality of positions on the display means" means, for example, generating a screen image showing a plurality of positions and displaying the screen image on the display means. Further, for example, by generating data necessary for displaying a screen image showing a plurality of positions and transmitting the data to the display means or a terminal connected to the display means, the screen image is displayed on the display means. It may be allowed to. That is, when the display control unit 110 is realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30, “controlling to display a plurality of positions on the display means” means to display a screen image showing a plurality of positions. The screen image may be displayed on the display unit 15 by generating necessary data and transmitting the data to the game terminal 10. The “data necessary for displaying the screen image” may be data indicating the screen image itself or may be data necessary for generating the screen image.

For example, the display control unit 110 performs control for displaying an object relating to matters that the user should agree or acknowledge in starting, continuing, or completing the execution of the process in at least one of the plurality of positions. You may do it.

Here, the “matters that should be agreed or acknowledged when starting, continuing, or completing the execution of processing” are, for example, rules or cautions to be agreed or acknowledged by the user. The "object" is, for example, an image or text. Specifically, an image such as a button or an icon corresponds to an example of “object”.

Further, the display control unit 110 may display the first position included in the plurality of positions in a display mode that prompts the user to instruct the first position. In addition, when the first position is not designated by the user, the display control unit 110 displays the second positions included in the plurality of positions in a display mode that does not prompt the user to designate the second position. You may do it. On the other hand, when the first position is instructed, the display control unit 110 may display the second position in a display mode that prompts the user to instruct the second position.

Here, the “display mode” is, for example, a color, a shape, a pattern, or the like. The “display mode that prompts the user to instruct the position” is, for example, a display mode in which the user can recognize that it is necessary to instruct the position. Further, for example, the display mode is such that the user can recognize that it is effective to instruct the position. Furthermore, the "display mode in which the user is not prompted to instruct the position" is, for example, a display mode in which the user can recognize that it is not necessary to instruct the position. Further, for example, it is a display mode in which the user can recognize that pointing the position is invalid. So-called gray-out corresponds to an example of "a display mode in which the user is not prompted to instruct the position".

In the case of the above-described examples (FIGS. 2 to 4), the initial processing (FIG. 2) corresponds to an example of “processing”, and the game initial activation request corresponds to an example of “execution request”. That is, the reception unit 100 receives the initial activation request of the game as the execution request of the initial processing. In addition, the display control unit 110 performs control for displaying the consent acceptance image G100 on the display unit 15 during the initial processing. In this case, the display positions of the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 correspond to an example of “plurality of positions”. Further, in this case, the content usage rule corresponds to an example of “a matter that the user should agree or acknowledge”, and the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 correspond to an example of “an object regarding a matter that the user should agree or acknowledge”. To do. The third object P103 corresponds to the "first position", and the fourth object P104 corresponds to the "second position". Furthermore, the display mode (grayed out) of the fourth object P104 shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to an example of “a display mode that does not prompt the user to instruct a position”, and the display mode of the third object P103 shown in FIGS. Alternatively, the display mode of the fourth object P104 illustrated in FIG. 4 corresponds to an example of “a display mode that prompts the user to instruct a position”.

It can be said that the display control unit 110 performs control for displaying the consent acceptance image G100 on the display unit 15 before executing steps S102 and S104 of FIG. In this case, steps S102 and S104 correspond to an example of "processing".

The determination unit 120 determines whether or not the plurality of positions displayed by the display control unit 110 are designated.

Here, “instructing a position” means pointing a position using a pointing device such as a touch panel capable of pointing a plurality of positions at the same time. For example, in the case of a touch panel, it means touching the position. Further, "determining whether or not a plurality of positions are instructed" is to determine whether or not all of the plurality of positions are instructed.

In the case of the above-described example (FIGS. 2 to 4), the determination unit 120 determines whether or not both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 of the consent acceptance image G100 are touched. ..

When the determination unit 120 determines that a plurality of positions are designated, the process control unit 130 performs control for starting, continuing, or completing the execution of the process.

Here, the "control for starting the execution of the process" may be the start of the execution of the process itself, or the request of another device to start the execution of the process. Good. For example, when the processing control unit 130 is realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 and the processing is to be executed by the game terminal 10, starting the execution of the processing is itself “execution of the processing”. Control for starting “. On the other hand, when the process control unit 130 is realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 and the process is executed by the server 30, request data for requesting the start of execution of the process is sent to the server 30. Sending corresponds to an example of “control for starting execution of processing”.

Similarly, the "control for continuing the execution of the process" may be to continue the execution of the process itself, or to request another device to continue the execution of the process. Good. For example, if the processing control unit 130 is realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 and the processing is to be executed by the game terminal 10, continuing execution of the processing itself means “execution of processing”. Control for continuing. On the other hand, if the processing control unit 130 is realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 and the processing is to be executed by the server 30, request data requesting the server 30 to continue the execution of the processing is sent to the server 30. Sending corresponds to an example of “control for continuing execution of processing”.

Similarly, the “control for completing the execution of the process” may be completion of the execution of the process itself, or requesting another device to complete the execution of the process. May be. For example, when the process control unit 130 is realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 and the process is executed by the game terminal 10, the completion of the process itself is "execution of the process". Corresponding to the “control for completing”. On the other hand, if the process control unit 130 is realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 and the process is executed by the server 30, request data for requesting completion of execution of the process is sent to the server 30. Sending corresponds to an example of "control for completing the execution of the process".

The phrase "control is performed when it is determined that a plurality of positions are instructed" means that the control is not performed when it is not determined that a plurality of positions are instructed (that is, the start of execution of processing, Continuation or completion is suppressed), and control is performed when it is determined that a plurality of positions are instructed (that is, the start, continuation, or completion of execution of processing is permitted). Also, "controlling when it is determined that multiple positions are instructed" means performing control unconditionally (immediately) when it is determined that multiple positions are instructed. Alternatively, the control may be performed under a predetermined condition when it is determined that a plurality of positions are designated.

In the case of the example described above (FIGS. 2 to 4), when the processing control unit 130 determines that both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 of the consent acceptance image G100 are touched. After that, when the touch on the fourth object P104 is released (that is, the state where the fourth object P104 is not touched), the initial process (FIG. 2) is continued, and step S102 shown in FIG. , S104 is executed. When it is determined that both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 of the consent acceptance image G100 are touched, the processing control unit 130 immediately continues the initial processing (FIG. 2). May be.

[4. Processing] Next, processing executed by the game system 1 to implement the above functional blocks will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed when the game is started for the first time. FIG. 6 corresponds to the details of step S100 in the initial processing shown in FIG. For example, when the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 executes the processing shown in FIG. 6 according to the program, the control unit 11 comes to function as the functional block shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, first, the control unit 11 displays the consent acceptance image G100 on the display unit 15 (S110). While the consent acceptance image G100 is displayed, the control unit 11 executes the following processing.

That is, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the convention display button has been tapped (selected) (S112). Here, the “rule display button” is the first object P101 of the consent acceptance image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 determines whether the first object P101 is tapped. The control unit 11 determines, based on a signal from the touch panel, whether the touch panel has been touched, specifies the touched position, or determines whether the touch panel has changed to a non-touched state. It is possible to In addition, the storage unit 12 stores information (display position information, display area information, or the like) that specifies an area corresponding to each object included in the consent acceptance image G100. For example, when the touch panel is touched and the touched position is in the state corresponding to the first object P101 and then the touch panel is not touched, the control unit 11 determines It is determined that the one object P101 is tapped.

When it is determined that the agreement display button is tapped, the control unit 11 displays the content usage agreement on the display unit 15 (S114). For example, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating the content usage agreement. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the agreement display button is tapped, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the disagreement button is tapped (selected) (S116). Here, the "non-consent button" is the second object P102 of the consent reception image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the second object P102 is tapped based on the signal from the touch panel.

When it is determined that the non-agreement button is tapped, the control unit 11 suspends the execution of the initial process (S118). On the other hand, when it is not determined that the non-agreement button is tapped, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch button is touched (S120). Here, the “touch button” is the third object P103 of the consent acceptance image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the third object P103 is being touched, based on the signal from the touch panel.

When it is not determined that the touch button is touched, the control unit 11 invalidates the consent button (S122). Here, the “agreement button” is the fourth object P104 of the acceptance acceptance image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 sets the fourth object P104 to, for example, a grayed out state. That is, if the fourth object P104 is not in the grayed-out state, the control unit 11 changes the fourth object P104 to the grayed-out state. On the other hand, if the fourth object P104 is already in the grayed-out state, the control unit 11 maintains the fourth object P104 in the grayed-out state as it is. After step S122, the control unit 11 executes step S112.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the touch button is touched, the control unit 11 enables the consent button (S124). As described above, the “agreement button” is the fourth object P104 of the acceptance acceptance image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 validates the fourth object P104. That is, if the fourth object P104 is in the grayed-out state, the control unit 11 changes the fourth object P104 to the non-grayed-out state (valid state). On the other hand, if the fourth object P104 is not already grayed out, the control unit 11 keeps the fourth object P104 as it is.

After step S124, the control unit 11 determines whether the consent button is tapped (selected) (S126). As described above, the “agreement button” is the fourth object P104 of the acceptance acceptance image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the fourth object P104 is tapped, based on the signal from the touch panel.

When it is not determined that the consent button is tapped, the control unit 11 executes step S112. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the consent button image is selected, the control unit 11 continues the initial processing (S128). That is, the control unit 11 executes the subsequent processing (steps S102 and S104 in FIG. 2).

[5. Summary] In the game system 1 described above, the initial process is continued when both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 of the consent acceptance image G100 are in the touched state. Even if there is a user who intends to automatically and repeatedly execute the initial processing by the automatic program, it is difficult to make both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 touched by the automatic program. Therefore, according to the game system 1, it becomes difficult to automatically repeat the initial processing. That is, according to the game system 1, it is possible to prevent the initial process from being repeatedly executed by the automatic program.

As a method to prevent the initial processing from being repeatedly executed by an automatic program, a character string or a numerical string is displayed with an image embedded in a state where it is difficult to see (for example, a distorted state), and the character string or the numerical string is displayed. There is known a method (CAPTCHA) for allowing a user to input. However, when such a method is adopted, it is necessary for the user to input a character string or a numerical string displayed in a difficult-to-see state, which may be complicated for the user. In this respect, according to the game system 1, the user only needs to perform a simple operation of pointing (tapping) at a plurality of positions, so that the above-mentioned complexity can be reduced.

Further, in the game system 1, when the third object P103 of the consent acceptance image G100 is not touched, the fourth object P104 is displayed in an invalid state (grayed out state), and when the third object P103 is touched. The fourth object P104 is displayed in the valid state. By doing so, it becomes possible to guide the user to tap the fourth object P104 while the third object P103 is being touched.

Further, as described above, in the game system 1, the operation of touching a plurality of positions is imposed on the user to suppress the repeated execution of the initial processing using the automatic program. If such an operation is imposed on the user separately from the operation conventionally imposed on the user, the labor of the user will increase. However, in the game system 1, such an operation is performed. Since it is also used as the operation conventionally performed on the user (operation for agreeing to the content usage agreement), it is possible to suppress an increase in the user's time and effort.

[6. Modification] The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

[6-1] For example, the plurality of positions to be instructed by the user (that is, the plurality of positions displayed by the display control unit 110) may be three or more positions. That is, in the consent acceptance image G100 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, two positions (third object P103 and fourth object P104) are displayed as positions to be touched by the user, but three or more positions are displayed. It may be displayed.

By doing so, unless all of the three or more positions displayed on the display unit 15 are instructed, the initial processing cannot be continued. Since it is very difficult to automatically instruct the three or more positions displayed on the display unit 15 by using the automatic program, this makes it possible to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program. Is difficult to do.

[6-2] For example, in the embodiment described above, in the consent acceptance image G100 requesting consent to the content usage agreement, the user is requested to touch a plurality of positions. The user may be asked to touch a plurality of positions in a screen image separate from G100.

For example, the authentication image G110 as shown in FIG. 7 may be displayed before starting the execution of the initial process (FIG. 2). In this case, the third object P103 may be omitted in the consent acceptance image G100, and the user may not be requested to touch a plurality of positions.

In the authentication image G110 shown in FIG. 7, a first object P111, a second object P112, and a third object P113, which respectively indicate three positions to be touched by the user, are displayed. Of course, by displaying two objects, two positions may be displayed as the position to be touched by the user, or by displaying four or more objects, the position should be touched by the user. You may make it display four or more positions as a position.

In the authentication image G110 shown in FIG. 7, the initial process (FIG. 2) is executed when the user touches all of the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113. ..

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed at the first activation of the game program in the modified example.

As shown in FIG. 8, first, the control unit 11 displays the authentication image G110 on the display unit 15 (S130). While the authentication image G110 is displayed, the control unit 11 executes the following processing.

That is, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the first object P111 is touched (instructed) based on the signal from the touch panel (S132). When it is not determined that the first object P111 is touched, the control unit 11 executes step S132 again.

When it is determined that the first object P111 is touched, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the second object P112 is touched (instructed) based on the signal from the touch panel (S134). When it is not determined that the second object P112 is touched, the control unit 11 executes step S132 again.

When it is determined that the second object P112 is touched, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the third object P113 is touched (instructed) based on the signal from the touch panel (S136). When it is not determined that the third object P113 is touched, the control unit 11 executes step S132 again.

When it is determined that the third object P113 is touched, the control unit 11 starts execution of initial processing (FIG. 2) (S138). That is, the control unit 11 executes steps S100 to S104 of FIG.

Even with the above configuration, it is difficult to execute the initial processing by the automatic program, so that it is possible to prevent the initial processing from being repeatedly executed by the automatic program.

In the above description, the authentication image G110 is described as being displayed before the execution of the initial processing (FIG. 2) is started, but the authentication image G110 may be displayed during the initial processing. By doing so, it may be difficult for the automatic program to continue the initial processing. Alternatively, the authentication image G110 may be displayed after step S104 shown in FIG. 2 and before the start of the game. By doing so, unless the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113 are all in a touched state, the initial process does not complete normally (that is, the game does not start). You may

[6-3] For example, the display position of the third object P103 may be changed each time the consent acceptance image G100 is displayed. For example, in step S110 of FIG. 6, the control unit 11 selects the display position of the third object P103 from among a plurality of prepared candidate positions, or randomly determines it in the consent acceptance image G100. The display position of the third object P103 may be changed each time the consent acceptance image G100 is displayed.

Similarly, the display positions of the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113 may be changed each time the authentication image G110 is displayed. For example, in step S130 of FIG. 8, the control unit 11 selects the display positions of the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113 from among a plurality of prepared candidate positions, or within the authentication image G110. Alternatively, the display positions of the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113 may be changed each time the authentication image G110 is displayed. It should be noted that instead of changing all the display positions of the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113, only a part of the display positions may be changed.

In short, the display control unit 110 may perform control for changing the position displayed on the display unit each time the plurality of positions to be instructed by the user are displayed on the display unit.

Here, “every time a plurality of positions are displayed on the display unit, the position displayed on the display unit is changed” means that at least one of the plurality of positions is displayed every time the plurality of positions is displayed on the display unit. One is to change the position to a position different from the previous display. For example, changing all of the plurality of positions to positions different from those at the time of previous display. In addition, for example, a part of the plurality of positions may be changed to a position different from that at the time of the previous display. Further, for example, a part of the plurality of positions may be the same position each time, and the rest may be different positions each time.

With this, each time the consent acceptance image G100 or the authentication image G110 is displayed, a plurality of positions to be instructed to execute the initial process are changed, and thus it is difficult to predict these positions. Become. As a result, it becomes more difficult to automatically instruct a plurality of positions to be instructed to execute the initial processing by using the automatic program. As a result, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the initial processing by using the automatic program.

[6-4] For example, each time the authentication image G110 is displayed, the number of positions to be touched (instructed) by the user may be changed. For example, the number of positions to be touched by the user may be increased each time the authentication image G110 is displayed. In this case, the number of positions to be touched is stored in the storage unit 12 (or the storage unit 32, the database DB), and the stored number is increased each time the authentication image G110 is displayed. May be. Further, when displaying the authentication image G110, the stored number of positions may be displayed. Even in this case, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the initial processing by using the automatic program.

[6-5] For example, in the consent acceptance image G100, the initial process may be continued only when both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 are touched simultaneously or substantially at the same time.

Similarly, in the authentication image G110, the initial process may be started only when all of the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113 are touched at the same time or substantially the same time.

In short, the determination unit 120 may determine whether or not the plurality of positions displayed by the display control unit 110 are designated at the same time or substantially at the same time. In addition, the processing control unit 130 may perform control for starting, continuing, or completing the processing when the determination unit 120 determines that a plurality of positions are instructed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously.

Here, the case where “plurality of positions are instructed at the same time” is to determine whether or not the times at which each of the plurality of positions is instructed are the same. Further, in the case where “plurality of positions are instructed at almost the same time”, the time when each of the plurality of positions is instructed is within a predetermined time (short time that can be regarded as almost simultaneous). This is the case. In other words, it is a case where the time from the time when the position first specified by the user among the plurality of positions is specified to the time when the position last specified by the user is specified is within the predetermined time.

With this configuration, unless a plurality of positions displayed on the display unit 15 are designated at the same time or substantially at the same time, the initial processing cannot be continued (started or completed). Since it is very difficult to automatically or almost simultaneously indicate a plurality of positions displayed on the display unit 15 by using the automatic program, this makes it possible to further improve the processing by using the automatic program. It becomes difficult to repeatedly execute.

[6-6] For example, in the consent acceptance image G100, the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 may be sequentially displayed. That is, the fourth object P104 may not be displayed from the beginning, and the fourth object P104 may be displayed when the third object P103 is touched. That is, the fourth object P104 may not be displayed in steps S110 and S122 of FIG. 6, and the fourth object P104 may be displayed in step S124.

Similarly, in the authentication image G110, the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113 may be sequentially displayed. That is, the second object P112 and the third object P113 are not displayed from the beginning, and when the first object P111 is in a touched state, the second object P112 is displayed and the first object P111 and the second object P112 are displayed. When both are touched, the third object P113 may be displayed. That is, the second object P112 and the third object P113 are not displayed in step S130 of FIG. 8, and the second object P112 is displayed when it is determined in step S132 that the first object P111 is touched, The third object P113 may be displayed when it is determined in S134 that the second object P112 is touched.

In short, the display control unit 110 may sequentially display the plurality of positions to be designated by the user on the display means. For example, when the first position included in the plurality of positions is not designated, the display control unit 110 does not display the second position included in the plurality of positions on the display unit, and the first position is designated. In this case, the first position and the second position may be sequentially displayed by displaying the second position on the display means.

Here, “displaying a plurality of positions sequentially” means, for example, displaying a plurality of positions in order, rather than displaying all of the plurality of positions at once. For example, displaying a plurality of positions one by one in order. Further, for example, it is to display a plurality of positions one by one in order. For example, at first, only one position (or part of the position) is displayed, and when the one position (or part of the position) is indicated, the other one position (or part of the other position) is displayed. Is to display a plurality of positions in order.

By doing so, unless the plurality of positions sequentially displayed on the display unit 15 are instructed, the initial processing cannot be continued (started or completed). Since it is difficult to set such a state by using the automatic program, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.

Further, in the case of the authentication image G110, for example, in the case of the authentication image G110, in order to start the initial processing, the first object P111 is touched, and then the second object P112 is touched in that state. It is necessary to perform an operation of touching the third object P113 in that state. Since it is difficult to realize such an operation by using the automatic program, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program, as described above.

[6-7] For example, an authentication image G110A as shown in FIG. 9 may be displayed instead of the authentication image G110 shown in FIG.

In the authentication image G110A shown in FIG. 9, a first object P111A and a second object P112A respectively showing two positions to be touched (designated) by the user, and a third object P113A showing a trajectory to be inputted by the user are displayed. ing.

For example, the authentication image G110A shown in FIG. 9 is displayed before the execution of the initial process (FIG. 2) is started. In this case, the initial process is executed when the user touches both the first object P111A and the second object P112A and inputs the locus indicated by the third object P113A. That is, while the user is touching both the first object P111A and the second object P112A with the first and second fingers, the third finger is moved so as to draw the locus indicated by the third object P113A. The initial process is executed when moving from one end to the other end on the touch panel along the third object P113A.

At this time, the user may arbitrarily select which of the two ends of the third object P113A is to be the starting point of the trajectory input (in other words, the direction of the trajectory input). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the trajectory is input regardless of whether the user moves the finger along the third object P113A from the upper side to the lower side or moves the finger from the lower side to the upper side. You may make it determine that it was performed.

Alternatively, the game system 1 (the game terminal 10 or the server 30) may specify which of the two ends of the third object P113A should be the starting point of the trajectory input. In this case, for example, the starting point (direction) of the trajectory input may be presented to the user by moving an object (bright spot, mark, or the like) on the third object P113A at a predetermined speed. Further, for example, the arrow object may be displayed as the third object P113A to present the starting point (direction) of the trajectory input to the user.

Note that the starting point of the trajectory input need not be limited to either of the two ends of the third object P113A. Anyway, if the user's finger traces all the third objects P113A, it may be determined that the locus has been input, regardless of the route of the user's finger movement. For example, when the user traces all the third objects P113A as a result of the user reciprocating the finger on the third object P113A one or more times with the middle point other than both ends of the third object P113A as the starting point. Alternatively, it may be determined that the locus is input.

In short, the display control unit 110, before or during the execution of the process, a trajectory object indicating a trajectory that should be input to start, continue, or complete the process, and start, continue, or You may make it perform control for displaying on a display means at least 1 position different from the position on the said track|line which should be instructed in order to complete. The determination unit 120 may determine whether or not the at least one position is designated and whether or not the trajectory is input by instructing the position on the trajectory. Then, the processing control unit 130 may perform control for starting, continuing, or completing the processing when it is determined that the trajectory is input in the state where the at least one position is instructed. Good.

Here, "when it is determined that the trajectory is input in a state where at least one position is instructed" means that at least one position different from the position on the trajectory is instructed. This is the case where it is determined that the positions on the locus have been sequentially designated from the end of the to the other end. In other words, when it is determined that at least one position different from the position on the locus is designated, and another designated position moves (slides) from one end of the trace toward the other end. is there.

In the case of the authentication image G110A shown in FIG. 9, the locus shown by the third object P113A corresponds to an example of “trajectory”, and the display positions of the first object P111A and the second object P112A become an example of “at least one position”. Equivalent to.

In this way, unless it is determined that the locus is input in a state where at least one position different from the position on the locus is being touched, the initial process will not be started (continued or completed). Since it is very difficult to realize such a determination by using the automatic program, the above-mentioned configuration makes it more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.

[6-8] A plurality of the modified examples described above may be combined.

[6-9] In the above, the case where the initial processing in the game is suppressed from being repeatedly executed by the automatic program has been mainly described, but the target “processing” is not limited to the initial processing in the game, It may be other processing related to the game.

The present invention can also be applied to an information processing system or an information processing apparatus other than the game system or the game control apparatus, and the “processing” may be processing other than the processing related to the game. For example, the “process” may be a process for distributing a program or data other than a game program or game data (downloading to a user's terminal device), or various services provided via the Internet (for example, Processing in a social networking service or the like).

[7. Additional Notes] From the above description, the present invention is understood as follows, for example. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the reference numerals shown in the drawings are appropriately written in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments.

1) A game system (1) according to one aspect of the present invention includes a receiving unit (100) that receives an execution request of a process (for example, an initial process: FIG. 2), and before or during the execution of the process. Control for displaying a plurality of positions (P103 and P104, or P111 to P113, or P111A to P113A) to be instructed to start, continue, or complete the execution of the processing on the display means (15). A display control means (110) for carrying out the above, a judgment means (120) for judging whether or not the plurality of positions are instructed, and a process of the processing when it is judged that the plurality of positions are instructed. And a processing control means (130) for controlling execution, continuation, or completion of execution.

10) The game control device (10 or 30) according to one aspect of the present invention is displayed on the display means (15) before execution of the process or during execution of the process, in order to start, continue, or complete the process. Means (120) for obtaining a determination result of whether or not a plurality of positions to be instructed are specified, and when it is determined that the plurality of positions are instructed, execution of the processing is started, And a processing control means (130) for controlling to continue or complete.

11) Further, the program according to one aspect of the present invention functions as a computer as the game system (1) according to any one of 1) to 9) or the game control device (10 or 30) according to 10). It is a program to let you.

12) Further, an information storage medium according to one aspect of the present invention is a computer-readable information storage medium in which the program described in 11) is recorded.

13) Further, the control method of the game system (1) according to one aspect of the present invention includes a receiving step of receiving a request to execute a process, and the execution of the process before or during the execution of the process. , A display control step (S110) of performing control for displaying on the display means a plurality of positions to be instructed to continue or complete, and a determination step of determining whether or not the plurality of positions are instructed. (S120, S126) and a process control step (S128) of performing control for starting, continuing, or completing execution of the process when it is determined that the plurality of positions are instructed.

14) Further, in the control method of the game control device (10 or 30) according to one aspect of the present invention, the execution of the process displayed on the display means (15) before or during the execution of the process is started. , A step of obtaining a determination result of whether or not a plurality of positions to be instructed to continue or complete are instructed (S120, S126), and when it is determined that the plurality of positions are instructed Includes a process control step (S128) for performing control for starting, continuing, or completing the execution of the process.

According to the inventions described in 1), 10) to 14) above, the process is started, continued, or when a plurality of positions displayed on the display unit are designated before or during the process. Once completed and the plurality of locations are not indicated, processing will not begin, continue, or be completed. Since it is difficult to automatically indicate a plurality of positions displayed on the display means by using the automatic program, according to the present invention, the use of the automatic program for automatically requesting the execution of the processing repeatedly. Prevents the process from starting automatically or completing to the end. As a result, it is possible to prevent the processing from being repeatedly executed by using such an automatic program.

2) In one aspect of the present invention, the display control means (110) performs control for changing the position displayed on the display means each time the plurality of positions are displayed on the display means (15). Means for performing may be included.

According to the invention described in 2), at least one of the plurality of positions is changed every time the plurality of positions to be instructed to start, continue, or complete the processing are displayed on the display means. Therefore, it becomes difficult to predict the plurality of positions. As a result, it becomes more difficult to automatically point to multiple locations that should be pointed to to start, continue, or complete the process using an automated program. As a result, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.

3) In one aspect of the present invention, the plurality of positions may be three or more positions.

According to the invention described in 3), the processing is started or continued when three or more positions displayed on the display unit are designated, and if the three or more positions are not designated, the processing is performed. It will not start, continue, or be completed. Since it is very difficult to automatically indicate the three or more positions displayed on the display means by using the automatic program, in this way, it is possible to further repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program. It will be difficult to do.

4) In one aspect of the present invention, the display control means (110) sets the objects (P113, P114) related to matters that the user should agree or acknowledge in starting, continuing, or completing the processing to the plurality of positions. A means for performing control for displaying on at least one of the above may be included.

According to the invention described in 4), when a plurality of positions are instructed by the user, the above objects are also instructed, and matters to be agreed or acknowledged in starting, continuing, or completing the process. It means that the user has agreed or acknowledged. In the game system, the user is presented with matters to be agreed or acknowledged when starting, continuing, or completing the process, and the process is started, continued, or completed only when the user agrees or acknowledges the item. It may be designed to be. In the present invention, in order to prevent the process from being repeatedly executed by using the automatic program, the user is required to perform an operation for designating a plurality of positions displayed on the display unit. In this respect, if the operation for instructing a plurality of positions is imposed on the user separately from the operation for consenting or acknowledging, the labor of the user increases, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, since the operation for designating a plurality of positions also serves as the operation for the above consent or consent, it is possible to suppress the increase of the user's trouble.

5) In one aspect of the present invention, the plurality of positions include a first position (P103) and a second position (P104), and the display control means indicates the first position and the first position. In a display mode (FIGS. 3 and 4) prompting the user to do so, when the first position is not designated, the second position is not prompted to the user to designate the second position. The display mode (FIG. 3) is displayed, and when the first position is designated, the second position is displayed in a display mode (FIG. 4) that prompts the user to designate the second position. You may do it.

According to the invention described in 5), the first position is displayed in a display mode that prompts the user to instruct the first position, and when the first position is not instructed, the second position is It is displayed in a display mode that does not prompt the user to instruct the second position, and when the first position is instructed, the second position is displayed in a display mode that prompts the user to instruct the second position. Thus, in order to start, continue, or complete the processing, it becomes possible to guide the user to instruct the second position while instructing the first position after instructing the first position. That is, it becomes possible to guide the user to indicate both the first position and the second position in order to start, continue, or complete the process.

6) In one aspect of the present invention, the determination means (120) determines whether or not the plurality of positions are designated at the same time or substantially the same time, and the processing control means (130) determines that the plurality of positions are simultaneously designated. Alternatively, when it is determined that they are instructed at substantially the same time, control for starting, continuing, or completing the execution of the processing may be performed.

According to the invention described in 6), the processing is started, continued, or completed when a plurality of positions are simultaneously or substantially simultaneously instructed, and the processing is started if the plurality of positions are not simultaneously or substantially simultaneously instructed, It will not continue or be completed. Since it is very difficult to automatically or substantially simultaneously indicate a plurality of positions displayed on the display means by using the automatic program, this makes it possible to repeat the process by using the automatic program. Execution becomes difficult.

7) In one aspect of the present invention, the display control means (110) may sequentially display the plurality of positions on the display means (15).

According to the invention described in 7), since a plurality of positions to be instructed to start, continue, or complete the processing are sequentially displayed on the display means, it is necessary to start, continue, or complete the processing. , It is necessary to be in a state where a plurality of positions which are sequentially displayed are designated. Since it is difficult to make such a state by using the automatic program, if the above is performed, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.

8) In one aspect of the present invention, the plurality of positions include a first position (for example, 103 or 111) and a second position (for example, 104 or 112), and the display control means (110) includes the first position. When the position is not designated, the second position is not displayed on the display means (15), and when the first position is designated, the second position is displayed on the display means (15). You may

According to the invention described in 8), the second position is not displayed when the first position is not designated, and the second position is displayed on the display means when the first position is designated, In order to start, continue, or complete the processing, it is necessary to perform the operation of instructing the second position in that state after instructing the first position. Since it is difficult to realize such an operation by using the automatic program, if the above is performed, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.

9) In one aspect of the present invention, the display control means (110) is a trajectory that should be input to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process before or during the execution of the process. (113A) and at least one position (111A, 112A) different from the position on the locus, which should be instructed to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process, on the display means (15). The determining means (120) includes means for performing control for displaying, and the determining means (120) determines whether or not the at least one position is instructed and whether or not the trajectory is input by instructing a position on the trajectory. The processing control means (130) starts, continues, or completes the processing when it is determined that the trajectory is input in a state where the at least one position is instructed. You may make it perform the control for.

According to the invention described in 9), the process is started, continued, or completed when it is determined that the locus is input in the state where at least one position different from the position on the locus is instructed. If not, the process will not be started, continued, or completed. Since it is very difficult to use the automatic program to automatically set the state in which it is determined that the locus is input in the state where at least one position different from the position on the locus is designated. With the above configuration, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.
