The processor 10 reads a program from the storage 12 described later and loads it into the memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later and loads it into a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the expanded program.

The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read by the processor 10 from a storage 12 described later. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 operates according to a program. The memory 21 provides a work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read by the processor 20 from a storage 22 described later. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 operates according to the program.

In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game on the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. In addition, the various data includes user information, game information, and other game-related data, and instructions and notifications transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data relating to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

The communication IF 13 controls transmission/reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission/reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control, for example, communication using a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), wired LAN, wireless LAN, or Internet communication via a mobile phone network, and communication using short-range wireless communication.

The input/output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive data input, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input/output IF 14 may input/output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input/output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The input/output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input/output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit which is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit which is a device for displaying and outputting an image.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines the input unit 151 and the display unit 152. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is configured by, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like.

The input unit 151 detects a position at which a user operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input on the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has the function of transmitting as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may be of any type such as a capacitance type or a resistance film type.

Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can also specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, the processor 10 may perform vertical screen display for displaying a vertically long image on the display unit 152 when the user terminal 100 is held vertically. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held in a horizontal orientation, a landscape image may be displayed on the display unit. In this way, the processor 10 may be capable of switching between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and converts a light incident from a lens into an electric signal to generate a captured image.

The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement target. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object by the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated by the light emitted from the light source reflected on the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may include a light source that emits light having directivity.

Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives the detection result of detecting the object 1010 near the user terminal 100 by using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as the user's input operation will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided, for example, on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided near the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device that radiates infrared rays, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. Thereby, the detection accuracy of the object based on the image captured by the camera 17 can be further improved regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

The processor 10 may perform, for example, one or more of the following processes (1) to (5) on the image captured by the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 specifies whether or not the user's hand is included in the captured image by performing image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique used in the above-described image recognition processing. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the gesture of the user from the shape of the hand of the user. The processor 10 specifies the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image, for example. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture made by the user from the identified number of fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is 5, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “par” gesture. In addition, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “goo” when the number of fingers is 0 (no finger is detected). Further, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “cutting”. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the image captured by the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the forefinger is raised or the user's finger makes a repulsive movement. .. (4) The processor 10 determines an object 1010 (such as a user's hand) near the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand identified from the image captured by the camera 17. The above distance) is detected. If the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is determined that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand changes while the user's hand is detected, based on the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17, etc., the processor 10 recognizes that the user is shaking his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is detected or not detected by the distance measuring sensor 18 having a directivity stronger than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 determines that the user shakes his hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

As described above, the processor 10 recognizes whether or not the user is holding his/her hand by the image recognition of the image captured by the camera 17 (whether the gesture is “Goo” or other gesture (for example, “Par”)). Or) is detected. The processor 10 also detects the shape of the user's hand and how the user is moving this hand. Further, the processor 10 detects whether the user is moving this hand close to or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel. The user terminal 100, for example, moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the gesture “goo” of the user. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining the state where the mouse is clicked and pressed, or maintaining the state where the touch panel is touched after the touchdown operation. Further, when the user further moves the hand while the user's gesture “goo” is detected, the user terminal 100 determines such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or the drag operation). You can also recognize. Further, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture such that the user repels a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand from the image captured by the camera 17, the user terminal 100 clicks the gesture or taps the touch panel. May be recognized as an operation corresponding to.

Further, the control unit 110 communicates with the server 200 as needed to transmit and receive information while the game is in progress.

The control unit 110, in accordance with the description of the game program 131, the operation receiving unit 111, the display control unit 112, the user interface (hereinafter UI) control unit 113, the animation generation unit 114, the puzzle progression unit 115, the object management unit 116, It functions as the game content management unit 117 and the friend management unit 118. The control unit 110 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to progress the game depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

The operation receiving unit 111 detects and receives a user's input operation on the input unit 151. The operation reception unit 111 determines what input operation has been performed based on the action exerted by the user on the console via the touch screen 15 and the other input/output IF 14, and outputs the result to each element of the control unit 110. To do.

For example, the operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation on the input unit 151, detects the coordinates of the input position of the input operation, and specifies the type of the input operation. The operation receiving unit 111 identifies, as the type of input operation, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, or the like. Further, the operation receiving unit 111 detects that the touch input is released from the touch screen 15 when the continuously detected input is interrupted.

The UI control unit 113 controls a UI object displayed on the display unit 152 to construct a UI. The UI object is a tool for the user to make an input necessary for the progress of the game to the user terminal 100, or a tool for obtaining information output during the progress of the game from the user terminal 100. The UI object is, for example, but not limited to, an icon, a button, a list, a menu screen, or the like.

The puzzle progression unit 115 generates a play screen for playing the puzzle. Further, the puzzle progression unit 115 advances the puzzle in accordance with the operation on the play screen. Further, when one play of the puzzle is completed, the puzzle progressing unit 115 calculates a play result indicating a result or the like in the play. It should be noted that one play of the puzzle refers to one play unit defined in the puzzle game.

The object management unit 116 manages information about objects given to the user in association with the user. For example, the object management unit 116 generates a screen for selecting an object used in the play from objects associated with the user. Further, the object management unit 116 manages the game content given to the user in association with the user. For example, the object management unit 116 stores the amount of game content given to the user. When the game content is newly given to the user, the object management unit 116 adds the newly given amount to the stored amount of the game content and updates it. In addition, when the game content is exchanged or consumed for another game content, the object management unit 116 updates the stored amount of the game content by subtracting the exchanged amount or the consumed amount. To do.

The game content management unit 117 manages game content such as diamonds, coins, and tickets. The game content management unit 117 manages, for each user, the number of game contents owned by the user and stores the number in the storage unit 130.

For example, the game content management unit 117 manages a ticket that is a play right. The game content management unit 117 manages, for each user, the number of tickets held by the user and stores the number in the storage unit 130. In addition, the game content management unit 117 consumes one ticket held by the user each time the game is played once.

The friend management unit 118 manages friend relationships between a user who plays a game executed by the game system 1 and another user who plays a game executed by the game system 1. The friend management unit 118 manages, for each user, the number of friends of the user and the identifiers of the accounts of other users who are friends of the user and stores them in the storage unit 130. The friend management unit 118 provides a process of registering a user other than the user as a friend of the user.

The animation generation unit 114 generates animations showing the motions of various game objects based on the control modes of various game objects in the game. For example, the animation generation unit 114 generates a moving image displayed on the user terminal 100. The user terminal 100 displays the moving image generated by the animation generating unit 114, as described later in detail. The user terminal 100 may display the moving image of the moving image data received from the server 200.

In the present embodiment, for example, the user terminal 100 displays the first moving image when the first condition is satisfied and displays the second moving image when the second condition is satisfied. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the condition according to the display of the first moving image is the first giving condition, and the condition corresponding to the display of the second moving image is the second giving condition. In addition, in the present embodiment, for example, the first reward is given to the user when the first giving condition is satisfied, and the second reward is given to the user when the second giving condition is satisfied. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the first reward has a different value from the second reward. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the first moving image and the second moving image are generated by the animation generating unit 114. The first moving image and the second moving image may receive moving image data from the server 200. The first moving image and the second moving image may be, for example, advertisement moving images or tutorial moving images that explain game operations to the user. In the present embodiment, for example, the first condition is a condition that is satisfied according to the game play by the user while the game is in progress. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the second condition is a condition different from the first condition and is a condition that is satisfied during the progress of the game regardless of the user's game play. The second condition is that a predetermined time is reached, for example.

In the present embodiment, for example, the second reward has a higher value than the first reward. In this case, the second grant condition has a higher difficulty level than the first grant condition. For example, the moving image display time under the second giving condition is longer than the moving image display time under the first giving condition. For example, the number of times the moving image is displayed under the second giving condition is larger than the number of times the moving image is displayed under the first giving condition. For example, the length of the whole moving image when displaying the whole moving image under the second giving condition is longer than the length of the whole moving image when displaying the whole moving image under the first giving condition. The first grant condition and the second grant condition may include at least one of these conditions.

The display control unit 112 outputs, to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15, a game screen in which the processing result executed by each of the above-described elements is reflected. The display control unit 112 may display the game screen including the animation generated by the animation generation unit 114 on the display unit 152. The display control unit 112 may display the game screen including the moving image generated by the animation generating unit 114 on the display unit 152. The display control unit 112 may display a game screen including a moving image of moving image data received from the server 200 on the display unit 152. Further, the display control unit 112 may superimpose and draw the above-mentioned UI object on the game screen.

The functions of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 2 are merely examples. The server 200 may include at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100. In addition, the user terminal 100 may include at least a part of the functions included in the server 200. Further, a device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be a constituent element of the game system 1, and the other device may be caused to execute a part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game program in the present embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and another device, or may be realized by a combination of a plurality of these devices.

(Details of the game content management unit 117)
The game content management unit 117 manages the amount of each game content held by the user. The amount of each game content held by the user varies depending on the exchange of each game content. In addition, the user's holding ticket is given with the lapse of time until the upper limit value. Further, in the present embodiment, the first reward is used as a ticket, and the ticket held by the user is also given by begging a friend or displaying the first moving image, as described later in detail. The first reward may be a game medium other than a ticket.

<Processing flow of game system 1>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by each computer included in the game system 1 according to this embodiment. In addition, in the present embodiment, the series of processing steps are shared and executed by the user terminal 100 and the server 200, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated shared form. Further, for example, all steps may be executed by the user terminal 100, or all steps may be executed by the server 200.

(Processing flow at the start of play)
FIG. 3 shows a processing flow of the game system 1 when the puzzle play is started.

First, in step S3001, the operation reception unit 111 receives an operation by the user for instructing to start playing the game.

Subsequently, in step S3002, the game content management unit 117 determines whether or not there is a ticket held by the user. If it is determined that there is no ticket, the process advances to step S3003. The ticket is an example of the first game content.

If it is determined in step S3002 that the user has a ticket, the process advances to step S3006. In step S3006, the game content management unit 117 subtracts one ticket, which is the number of tickets consumed by playing the puzzle this time, from the ticket held by the user. In step S3007 subsequent to step S3006, the puzzle progression unit 115 starts playing the puzzle. Specifically, the puzzle progression unit 115 generates a puzzle play screen and causes the display control unit 112 to display it. In addition, the puzzle progression unit 115 advances the puzzle based on the user's operation accepted by the operation accepting unit 111, and causes the display control unit 112 to display a play screen that changes according to the progress. The play screen that changes according to the progress of the puzzle may include an animation generated by the animation generation unit 114.

In step S3003, the game content management unit 117 determines whether to exchange a predetermined amount of coins for a ticket. Specifically, the game content management unit 117 generates a confirmation screen for asking the user whether to exchange a predetermined amount of coins for a ticket, and causes the display control unit 112 to display the confirmation screen. Then, the game content management unit 117 may determine whether to perform the exchange based on the information received by the operation reception unit 111.

If it is determined in step S3003 that replacement is to be performed, step S3004 is executed. If it is determined that the replacement will not be performed, the process advances to step S3008.

In step S3004, the game content management unit 117 updates the amount of owned coins by subtracting the predetermined amount of exchanged coins from the stored amount of owned coins.

In step S3005, the game content management unit 117 gives a ticket to the user. In step S3005, the first grant condition is detected, and if the first grant condition is satisfied, the ticket is granted to the user. The total number of tickets held by the user, including the tickets to be granted, is up to the upper limit value. Subsequent to step S3005, the holding ticket subtraction in step S3006 and the play start in step S3007 are executed. In this embodiment, one ticket (stamina ticket), which is an example of the first game medium, is consumed to start playing the puzzle of the quest, but it is necessary to execute the quest. The first game medium may be other than the stamina ticket. For example, the first game content may be used as the stamina parameter. Specifically, the stamina parameter is a parameter that is subtracted from the consumption amount required to execute the quest each time the quest is executed (steps S3006 and S8006 described below) and is also added in steps S3005 and S8005 described below.

The process of giving a ticket to exchange coins in steps S3003 to S3005 is not limited to the case where there is no ticket at the start of playing the game, and may be performed at any time when the operation receiving unit 111 receives an operation for acquiring a ticket. It may be executed. The operation of acquiring such a ticket may be performed, for example, on a UI object such as a button or a menu (none of which is shown). Note that such a UI object may be displayed by being superimposed on an arbitrary screen displayed on the display unit 152 in the game system 1.

If the coin is not exchanged for a ticket in step S3003, the process proceeds to step S3008. In step S3008, the game content management unit 117 determines whether it is currently within the first standby time. In the game executed by the game system 1, when the user does not hold the ticket, the user asks the friend and the ticket is given to the user when the friend responds. In this way, when the ticket is granted to the user in response to the begging request, the next begging cannot be performed within a fixed time (first waiting time) after the grant. In step S3008, if it is within the first waiting time, the process proceeds to step S3012. In step S3008, if it is not within the first waiting time, the process proceeds to step S3009.

In step S3009, the game content management unit 117 determines whether to beg for a bet. Specifically, the game content management unit 117 generates a confirmation screen for confirming with the user whether or not to beg and asks the display control unit 112 to display the confirmation screen. Then, the game content management unit 117 may determine whether or not to beg on the basis of the information received by the operation reception unit 111.

If it is determined in step S3009 that begging is required, the process proceeds to step S3010. When it is determined that the begging is not performed, the processing ends.

In step S3010, the game content management unit 117 carries out begging. Specifically, the fact that the begging is performed is transmitted to the server 200. Receiving this, the server 200 transmits that the friend of the user is begging to the user terminal 100 operated by the friend. The display control unit 112 of the user terminal 100 operated by the friend who receives this displays a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not to meet the begging. When the friend responds to the request (when the ticket giving operation is performed by the friend), the fact is sent from the user terminal 100 operated by the friend to the user terminal 100 operated by the user via the server 200.

In step S3011, the game content management unit 117 determines whether a ticket giving operation has been performed by a friend. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a friend's ticket giving operation is received from the user terminal 100 operated by the friend via the server 200. When the ticket giving operation is performed by the friend, the first waiting time is started, and then the process proceeds to step S3005.

In step S3005, the game content management unit 117 gives a ticket to the user. The total number of tickets held by the user, including the tickets to be granted, is up to the upper limit value. Subsequent to step S3005, the holding ticket subtraction in step S3006 and the play start in step S3007 are executed.

In step S3011, if the ticket giving operation is not performed by the friend, the process proceeds to step S3015.

In step S3015, the game content management unit 117 guides the user to charge. Specifically, the game content management unit 117 generates a guide screen for guiding the charging and causes the display control unit 112 to display the guide screen. For example, charging by the user is performed by the user purchasing the game content. The game medium that can be purchased by the user by a charge may be a game medium that can be used for a specific purpose or a game medium that can be used for a plurality of purposes. In this embodiment, the user purchases a diamond, which is an example of a game content that can be used for multiple purposes, by charging. After step S3015, the process ends. Diamond is an example of the second game medium. If the user purchases a diamond by billing after inducing billing in step S3015, the user can purchase a ticket with the purchased diamond. In this case, the process proceeds from step S3015 to step S3005. The game content management unit 117 gives the user the ticket purchased on the diamond (step S3005), and subsequently executes the subtraction of the held ticket in step S3006 and the start of play in step S3007.

If it is within the first waiting time in step S3008, the process proceeds to step S3012. In step S3012, the game content management unit 117 determines whether it is currently within the second standby time. In the game executed by the game system 1, when the user does not hold the ticket, when the user views the first moving image, in other words, when the user terminal 100 displays the first moving image, the user is given a ticket. In this way, when the ticket is given to the user along with the display of the first moving image, the next first moving image cannot be displayed within a certain time (second waiting time) after the ticket is given. In step S3012, if it is within the second waiting time, the process proceeds to step S3011 described above. The steps after step S3011 are the same as above. In step S3012, if it is not within the second waiting time, the process proceeds to step S3013.

In step S3013, the game content management unit 117 determines whether the user views the first moving image. Specifically, the game content management unit 117 generates a confirmation screen for confirming with the user whether or not to watch the first moving image, and causes the display control unit 112 to display the confirmation screen. Then, the game content management unit 117 may determine whether or not the user views the first moving image based on the information received by the operation reception unit 111.

When it is determined in step S3013 that the user views the first moving image, the process proceeds to step S3014. If it is determined that the user does not view the first moving image, the process proceeds to step S3011 described above. The steps after step S3011 are the same as above.

In step S3014, the display control unit 112 displays the first moving image. Specifically, the display control unit 112 causes the display unit 152 to display the game screen including the first moving image generated by the animation generating unit 114. When the display of the first moving image is completed, the second waiting time is started. Note that the display control unit 112 may start the second standby time after displaying the first moving image once, or may display the second standby time after displaying the first moving image multiple times until the upper limit number (first execution number) is reached. You may start. When the first moving image is displayed a plurality of times, the moving images having different contents may be displayed or the moving images having the same content may be displayed at each of the plurality of times. After starting the second waiting time, the process proceeds to step S3005.

In step S3005, the game content management unit 117 gives a ticket to the user. The total number of tickets held by the user, including the tickets to be granted, is up to the upper limit value. Subsequent to step S3005, the holding ticket subtraction in step S3006 and the play start in step S3007 are executed.

<Example of game screen>
4 to 7 are diagrams showing an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100 in the game based on the game system 1 of the present embodiment.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen displayed when there is no ticket at the start of playing the puzzle. This confirmation screen is a screen for confirming whether to exchange for a predetermined amount of coins to obtain a ticket and whether to beg a friend. The confirmation screen includes a button 1101 for "all recovery with a predetermined amount of coins", a button 1102 for "please ask a friend", and a button 1103 for canceling neither.

In the flowchart of FIG. 3, a screen for confirming whether to exchange coins for a ticket is displayed in step 3003, and a screen for confirming whether to ask a friend in step 3009 when coins are not exchanged for a ticket is displayed. However, according to the confirmation screen of FIG. 4, "exchange of coins and tickets" and "please ask a friend" can be confirmed simultaneously on one screen. In this case, the process of the flowchart of FIG. 3 is a process of selectively selecting “exchange of coins and tickets” and “please ask a friend”. Also, a screen asking if you want to ask a friend may be displayed first, and then a screen asking if you want to exchange coins for a ticket may be displayed. In this case, the user "please ask a friend" A screen may be displayed to confirm whether to exchange coins for a ticket regardless of whether or not the user has exercised, or if the user exercised "begging for a friend" or not. Alternatively, a screen for confirming whether to exchange coins for a ticket may be displayed. Further, only when it is within the first waiting time, a screen for confirming whether to exchange coins for a ticket may be displayed.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the confirmation screen displayed in step S3013 when there is no ticket at the start of playing the puzzle. This confirmation screen is a screen for confirming whether or not to watch the first moving image in order to obtain a ticket. This confirmation screen includes a display field 1104 for displaying confirmation items as to whether or not to watch a moving image, a “Yes” button 1105 for allowing the confirmation items, and a “No” button 1105 for rejecting the confirmation items. ,including.

Note that in the flowchart in FIG. 3, the user is asked to watch the first moving image within the first waiting time after begging for a friend, but a different process may be performed. For example, if there is no ticket at the start of playing the puzzle, first confirm with the user whether or not to watch the first video, and if the first video is watched, give a ticket to the user and watch the first video. If not, you may ask the friend to ask. Further, if there is no ticket at the start of playing the puzzle, it may be possible to confirm whether to ask the friend during the second waiting time for waiting for the display of the first moving image.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen displayed on the user terminal 100 operated by the friend who has begged when the user begs for the friend. This confirmation screen is a screen for confirming whether to send a ticket to the begging user. This confirmation screen includes a display field 1107 for displaying confirmation items as to whether to send a ticket, a "Yes" button 1108 which is a button for allowing the confirmation items, and a "No" button 1109 which is a button for rejecting the confirmation items. including. When the "Yes" button 1108 is operated on this confirmation screen, in step S3011, the game content management unit 117 determines that the ticket giving operation has been performed by a friend.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the guide screen displayed in step S3015 when there is no ticket at the start of playing the puzzle. This guide screen is a screen for confirming whether or not to buy a diamond that can be exchanged for a ticket in order to obtain a ticket, and for guiding to a purchase screen of the diamond. This guidance screen includes a display field 1110 for displaying confirmation items as to whether or not to purchase a diamond, a "Yes" button 1111 for allowing the confirmation items, and a "No" button 1112 for rejecting the confirmation items. ,including. When the user operates the “Yes” button 1111, a diamond purchase screen is displayed. The game medium purchased by charging may be something other than a diamond, for example, a game medium that can be used for a specific purpose, or a game medium that can be used for a plurality of purposes.

[Modification 1]
In the present embodiment, the process of displaying the second moving image may be performed when there is no ticket at the start of playing the puzzle. This example will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9.

Steps S8001 to S8014 in the flowchart of FIG. 8 are the same as steps S3001 to S3014 in the flowchart of FIG. 3, so description thereof will be omitted.

If it is within the second waiting time in step S8012 in FIG. 8, the process proceeds to step S9001 in FIG.

In step S9001, the game content management unit 117 determines whether it is currently within the third waiting time. In the game executed by the game system 1 of the present modified example, when the timing for displaying the second moving image comes within a certain time (third waiting time) after the second waiting time starts, and the second waiting time The process is different from when the timing to display the second moving image does not come within a certain time (third standby time) after the start of. In step S9001, if it is within the third waiting time, the process proceeds to step S9002. In step S9001, if it is not within the third waiting time, the process proceeds to step S9008. In step S9008, similarly to step S3015 in FIG. 3, the charging guidance is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S8011 in FIG. Note that if the user purchases a diamond by billing after inducing billing in step S9008, the user can purchase a ticket with the purchased diamond. In this case, the process proceeds from step S9008 to step S8005. The game content management unit 117 gives the user the ticket purchased through the diamond (step S8005), and subsequently executes the subtraction of the held ticket in step S8006 and the start of play in step S8007.

In step S9002, the game content management unit 117 determines whether there is a notification of the second moving image. Specifically, the server 200 manages the timing of displaying the second moving image on the user terminal 100. The timing of displaying the second moving image on the user terminal 100 is, for example, a predetermined date and time managed by the server 200, and is a timing common to all users. The server 200 notifies the user of this timing via the user terminal 100 operated by each user, totals the users who have viewed the second moving image at this timing, and determines the second reward according to the totaled result. For example, the more users who watched the second video, the higher the reward that is advantageous in advancing the game is given to the user who watched the second video as the second reward. Further, for example, as the number of users who watched the second video increases, the number of rewards is increased and the second reward is given to the user who viewed the second video. In addition, in the present embodiment, the second reward is a diamond. Diamonds are billing items that can be exchanged for tickets

If there is no notification of the second moving image in step S9002, the process returns to step S9001. If the notification of the second moving image is made in step S9002, the process proceeds to step S9003. In step S9003, the game content management unit 117 guides the user to the second moving image. Specifically, the game content management unit 117 generates a guide screen for guiding the user to watch the second moving image and causes the display control unit 112 to display the guide screen.

In step S9004 following step S9003, the game content management unit 117 determines whether or not the user views the second moving image. Specifically, the game content management unit 117 determines, based on the information received by the operation reception unit 111, whether or not the user views the second moving image.

When it is determined in step S9004 that the user views the second moving image, the process proceeds to step S9005. When it is determined that the user does not view the second moving image, the process proceeds to step S8011 in FIG.

In step S9005, the display control unit 112 displays the second moving image. Specifically, the display control unit 112 causes the display unit 152 to display a game screen including the second moving image generated by the animation generating unit 114.

In step S9006 following step S9005, the game content management unit 117 reports to the server 200 that the second moving image has been displayed.

The server 200 receives, from the user terminal 100 operated by each user, a report indicating that the display of the second moving image has been performed, and totals the number of users who have performed the second moving image display, for example. According to the counting result, for example, the more users who watched the second video, the higher the reward for advancing the game to be the second reward, and the more users watched the second video, for example. , Increase the number of rewards and make it the second reward. In step S9007, the second grant condition is detected, and if the second grant condition is satisfied, the second reward is granted to the user. In step S9007, the game content management unit 117 receives the notification of the content of the second reward from the server 200, gives the second reward to the user, and then proceeds to step S8011 of FIG. In addition, when the diamond as the second reward is given to the user in step S9007, the user can purchase the ticket with the given diamond. In this case, the process proceeds from step S9007 to step S8005. The game content management unit 117 gives the user the ticket purchased through the diamond (step S8005), and subsequently executes the subtraction of the held ticket in step S8006 and the start of play in step S8007.

In step S8011, the game content management unit 117 determines whether a ticket giving operation has been performed by a friend. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a friend's ticket giving operation is received from the user terminal 100 operated by the friend via the server 200. When the ticket giving operation is performed by the friend, the first waiting time is started, and then the process proceeds to step S8005. Since step S8005 and subsequent steps are the same processing as step S3005 and subsequent steps, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In step S8011, if the ticket giving operation is not performed by the friend, the process ends.

[Modification 2]
In the present embodiment, the process of displaying the second moving image may be performed independently of the display of the first moving image. This example will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a process in the user terminal 100 for displaying the second moving image, and FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a process in the server 200 for displaying the second moving image.

In step S10001 of FIG. 10, the game content management unit 117 of the user terminal 100 determines whether or not it has been notified from the server 200 that it is time to display the second moving image. If this notification has not been received, the process stands by in step S10001. On the other hand, in step S11001 of FIG. 11, the control unit 210 of the server 200 determines whether it is time to display the second moving image such as a predetermined date and time. If the timing has not come, it stands by in step S11001.

When it is time to display the second moving image in step S11001, the server 200 proceeds to step S11002 and transmits a notification that it is the time to display the second moving image to the user terminal 100.
