Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-000954

In a 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. May be done. In such a game system, a user who could not obtain the desired game object stopped the initial process in the middle or reset the setting made by the initial process in order to redo the lottery of the game object. Later, the game start request may be made again to try to execute the initial processing from the beginning again. In particular, some such users try to repeatedly execute the initial process until a desired game object is obtained by using an automatic program (BOT or the like) that automatically repeats the above procedure. Exists. Such user behavior is an attempt to start the game in an unjustified manner, and allowing such behavior is disadvantageous to the user who attempts to start the game in a legitimate manner. Become. Further, the use of the automatic program may cause an increase in the load on the game system because the initial processing is automatically repeated.

Hereinafter, examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[1. Configuration of Game System] FIG. 1 shows a 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 each other via the server 30 and the network N.

The game terminal 10 is a computer used by the user to play a game. For example, the game terminal 10 includes 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 (stationary game machine), and a portable game machine. Or, it is a commercial game machine installed in a game 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 audio output unit 16 may be provided on 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, RAM) and an auxiliary storage unit (for example, a non-volatile semiconductor memory, a hard disk drive, or a solid state drive), and stores programs and data. The communication unit 13 is for data communication with another device 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 operate by voice or gesture. In the following, it is assumed that the game terminal 10 is provided with a touch panel.

The display unit 15 is for displaying various images, such as 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 or data is supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 from a remote location via the network N, and is stored in the storage unit 12 or the storage unit 32. The game terminal 10 or the server 30 may be provided with components (for example, an optical disk drive or a memory card slot) for reading programs and 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 the game] Various games can be executed in the game system 1. The game may be a client / server type game executed by data communication between the game terminal 10 and the server 30, or a stand-alone type game executed by the game terminal 10 alone. It may be.

Initial processing is executed when the game (game program) is started for the first time. The "initial process" is a process executed prior to starting the game, and is a process required to start the game. The initial processing 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 initial processing. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, in the initial process, the user accepts the consent to the content terms of use (S100). In step S100, the consent acceptance image, which is a screen image for accepting the consent to the content terms of use, 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 terms of use is required to start the game. The "content terms of use" defines the matters that the user must agree to in order to play the game.

Further, the consent acceptance image G100 includes the first object P101, the second object P102, the third object P103, and the fourth object P104. The "object" here is an element (part) that constitutes a screen image and is a target of selection by the user. For example, an image or text such as a button or an icon corresponds to an example of an "object". The user selects the object by tapping the object (that is, touching and releasing the object on the touch panel area where the object is displayed). A 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 contents of the content terms of use. That is, the first object P101 is associated with a process for displaying the contents of the content terms of use, and when the first object P101 is tapped (selected), the contents of the contents terms of use are displayed on the display unit 15. Will be done.

The second object P102 is for expressing the intention that the content terms of use are not agreed. Therefore, the user taps the second object P102 when he / she does not agree with the content terms of use. 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 processing is stopped and the start of the game is also stopped.

The fourth object P104 is for expressing the intention to agree to the content terms of use. However, in FIG. 3, the fourth object P104 is shaded. This indicates that the fourth object P104 is set to the so-called grayout state (invalid state), and the tap 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 on which the third object P103 is displayed), the tap on the fourth object P104 becomes effective. FIG. 4 shows the consent acceptance image G100 in this case. In FIG. 4, the fourth object P104 is not shaded, which indicates that the fourth object P104 is set to a non-grayed state (valid state) and that the tap on the fourth object P104 is valid. ing.

From the above, the user needs to tap the fourth object P104 while touching the third object P103 when agreeing to the content terms of use. That is, the user needs to touch both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104.

For example, the processing 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, the input of user information is accepted (S102), for example, as shown in FIG. In step S102, a screen image for accepting the input of user information is displayed on the display unit 15. The "user information" here is information related to the user, for example, information about the user himself / herself (for example, a name). The input user information is stored in the storage unit 12, the storage unit 32, or the database DB, and is 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 a game while actually playing the game. By providing the tutorial, the user can learn how to play the game.

By the way, in a game tutorial in which a user uses a game character (or a game item), a game character selected by lottery from 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 by lottery from game characters that cannot be obtained or are difficult to obtain after the start of the game (for example, highly rare game characters) may be given to the user. It should be noted that such a game character may be assigned during the tutorial or after the tutorial is completed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the completion of the tutorial ends the initial processing, starts the game, and allows the user to 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 touched, subsequent processing (steps S102 and S104) is executed, and the initial process is executed. The process is complete. Even if there is a user who automatically repeats the initial processing until a desired game character is obtained by using the automatic program, both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 are automatically executed by the automatic program. Since it is difficult to make the touched state, according to the game system 1, it is difficult to automatically and repeatedly execute the initial processing. That is, it is possible to prevent the initial processing from being repeatedly executed by the automatic program.

[3. Function block] The configuration for realizing the above functions will be described. FIG. 5 shows an example of a functional block 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 the game control device). Alternatively, some 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 reception unit 100 receives a processing execution request. Further, the display control unit 110 controls the display means to display a plurality of positions to be instructed to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process before the execution of the process or during the execution of the process. ..

Here, the "process" is a process related to the game. For example, the "process" is a process for starting a game. Specifically, it is a process of making various settings for starting a game. For example, in the case of a game in which the user uses a game object (game character, game item, etc.), a game object selected by lottery from a plurality of game objects is selected as the game object owned by the user at the start of the game. This is a case where the process to be 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.

An "execution request" is a request for execution of a process. “Accepting an execution request” means, for example, accepting 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). There 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). In addition, "processing is being executed" is in the middle of processing. That is, "during the execution of the process" is after the execution of the process is started and before the execution of the process is completed.

"Starting processing" means starting execution of processing from the beginning. "Continue processing" means to continue executing the processing being executed. "Complete processing" means that the processing is normally executed to the end.

The "plurality of positions" are a plurality of positions that the user must instruct to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process.

The "display means" is, for example, a display device provided in a terminal used by a user. For example, it is a display device provided in a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a portable 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 to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process so that the user can recognize them. For example, displaying a plurality of objects indicating a plurality of positions. More specifically, displaying an object at each of a plurality of positions.

“Controlling for displaying a plurality of positions on the display means” means, for example, generating a screen image indicating a plurality of positions and displaying the screen image on the display means. Further, for example, by generating data necessary for displaying screen images showing a plurality of positions and transmitting the data to a display means or a terminal connected to the display means, the screen image is displayed on the display means. It may be to let. 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 indicating the 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 required 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 controls to display an object related to a matter that the user agrees or acknowledges when starting, continuing, or completing the execution of the process at at least one of the plurality of positions. You may do so.

Here, the "matters to be agreed or acknowledged when starting, continuing, or completing the execution of the process" are, for example, rules or precautions for the user to agree or acknowledge. Further, the "object" is, for example, an image or text. Specifically, an image such as a button or an icon corresponds to an example of an "object".

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

Here, the "display mode" is, for example, a color, a shape, a pattern, or the like. Further, the "display mode for urging 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 indicate the position. Further, the "display mode that does not prompt the user 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, the display mode is such that the user can recognize that it is invalid to indicate the position. The so-called grayout corresponds to an example of "a display mode that does not prompt the user to indicate the position".

In the case of the above-mentioned examples (FIGS. 2 to 4), the initial process (FIG. 2) corresponds to an example of "process", and the first start request of the game corresponds to an example of "execution request". That is, the reception unit 100 receives the first start request of the game as the execution request of the initial process. Further, the display control unit 110 controls to display 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". In this case, the content terms of use correspond to an example of "matters that the user should agree or acknowledge", and the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 correspond to an example of "objects related to matters that the user should agree or acknowledge". To do. Further, the third object P103 corresponds to the "first position", and the fourth object P104 corresponds to the "second position". Further, 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 the position", and the display mode of the third object P103 shown in FIGS. Or, the display mode of the fourth object P104 shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to an example of "a display mode that prompts the user to instruct the position".

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

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

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

In the case of the above-mentioned 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. ..

The process control unit 130 controls to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process when it is determined by the determination unit 120 that a plurality of positions are instructed.

Here, the "control for starting the execution of the process" may be the start of the execution of the process itself, or may be a request to another device to start the execution of the process. May be good. For example, 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 game terminal 10, the start of the process execution itself is "execution of the process". Corresponds to an example of "control to start". 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 executed by the server 30, request data requesting the start of execution of the processing is sent to the server 30. Transmission corresponds to an example of "control for starting execution of processing".

Similarly, "control to continue the execution of a process" may be to continue the execution of the process itself, or to request another device to continue the execution of the process. May be good. For example, 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 game terminal 10, continuing the execution of the process itself is "execution of the process". Corresponds to an example of "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 executed by the server 30, the request data requesting the continuation of the execution of the processing is sent to the server 30. Transmission corresponds to an example of "control for continuing the execution of processing".

Similarly, "control for completing the execution of the process" may be the completion of the execution of the process itself, or requesting another device to complete the execution of the process. You may. For example, 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 game terminal 10, completing the execution of the process itself is "execution of the process". Corresponds to an example of "control to complete". 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 executed by the server 30, the request data requesting the completion of the execution of the processing is sent to the server 30. Transmission corresponds to an example of "control for completing the execution of processing".

"Controlling when it is determined that a plurality of positions are instructed" means that control is not performed when it is not determined that a plurality of positions are instructed (that is, the start of processing execution, It is to continue or suppress the completion) and to control when it is determined that a plurality of positions are instructed (that is, to allow the start, continuation, or completion of the execution of the process). In addition, "control when it is determined that a plurality of positions are instructed" means to perform control unconditionally (immediately) when it is determined that a plurality of positions are instructed. Or, when it is determined that a plurality of positions are instructed, control may be performed under a predetermined condition.

In the case of the above-mentioned example (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 to the fourth object P104 is released (that is, the fourth object P104 is changed to the untouched state), the initial processing (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). You may.

[4. Processing] Next, the processing executed by the game system 1 in order to realize the above functional block will be described. FIG. 6 is a flow chart 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 process shown in FIG. 6 according to the program, the control unit 11 functions 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 "convention display button" is the first object P101 of the consent acceptance image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the first object P101 has been tapped. Based on the signal from the touch panel, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch panel has been touched, specifies the touched position, and determines whether or not the touch panel has changed to a non-touched state. It is possible to do it. Further, the storage unit 12 stores information (display position information, display area information, etc.) that identifies an area corresponding to each object included in the consent reception image G100. For example, when the touch panel is touched and the touched position is included in the area corresponding to the first object P101, and then the touch panel is not touched, the control unit 11 is the first. 1 It is determined that the object P101 has been tapped.

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

When it is determined that the disagreement button has been tapped, the control unit 11 cancels the execution of the initial process (S118). On the other hand, if it is not determined that the disagreement button has been tapped, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch button has been touched (S120). Here, the "touch button" is the third object P103 of the consent reception image G100. Therefore, based on the signal from the touch panel, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the third object P103 is in a touched state.

If 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 consent 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 keeps 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 consent acceptance image G100. Therefore, the control unit 11 enables 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 a non-grayed out state (valid state). On the other hand, if the fourth object P104 is not already in the grayed out state, the control unit 11 maintains the fourth object P104 in the same state.

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

If it is not determined that the consent button has been tapped, the control unit 11 executes step S112. On the other hand, if 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 processing is continued when both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 of the consent acceptance image G100 are touched. Even if there is a user who wants to automatically and repeatedly execute the initial processing by the automatic program, it is difficult to bring both the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 into a touched state by the automatic program. Therefore, according to the game system 1, it becomes difficult to automatically and repeatedly execute 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 the automatic program, the character string or the number string is displayed by displaying the embedded image in a state where the character string or the number string is difficult to see (for example, in a distorted state). Is known to the user (CAPTCHA). However, when such a method is adopted, it is necessary to input a character string or a number string displayed in a state that is difficult to see, which may be complicated for the user. In this regard, according to the game system 1, the user only has to perform a simple operation of instructing (tapping) 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 is possible to guide the user to tap the fourth object P104 while touching the third object P103.

Further, as described above, in the game system 1, the repeated execution of the initial process using the automatic program is suppressed by imposing the operation of touching a plurality of positions on the user. If such an operation is imposed on the user separately from the operation conventionally imposed on the user, the user's labor will increase, but in the game system 1, such an operation is performed. Is combined with the operation (operation that agrees to the content terms of use) that has been conventionally imposed on the user, so that it is possible to suppress an increase in the user's labor.

[6. Modifications] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments 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 reception 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.

In this way, the initial processing will not be continued unless all of the three or more positions displayed on the display unit 15 are instructed. Since it is very difficult to automatically indicate three or more positions displayed on the display unit 15 using an automatic program, if this is done, the process is repeatedly executed by using the automatic program. Becomes difficult to do.

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

For example, the authentication image G110 as shown in FIG. 7 may be displayed before the execution of the initial process (FIG. 2) is started. In this case, in the consent reception image G100, the third object P103 may be omitted so that the user is not 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 indicating three positions to be touched by the user are displayed. Of course, by displaying two objects, two positions may be displayed as positions to be touched by the user, or by displaying four or more objects, they should be touched by the user. Four or more positions may be displayed as positions.

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 flow chart showing an example of processing executed at the first startup 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). If 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). If 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). If 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 executing the initial process (FIG. 2) (S138). That is, the control unit 11 executes steps S100 to S104 of FIG.

Even as described above, since it becomes difficult for the automatic program to execute the initial processing, it is possible to prevent the initial processing from being repeatedly executed by the automatic program.

Although the authentication image G110 has been described above as being displayed before the execution of the initial processing (FIG. 2) is started, 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, the initial processing is not completed normally (that is, the game is not started) unless all of the first object P111, the second object P112, and the third object P113 are touched. You may do it.

[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 a plurality of candidate positions prepared in advance, or randomly determines the display position in the consent reception image G100. The display position of the third object P103 may be changed each time the consent reception 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 a plurality of candidate positions prepared in advance, or in the authentication image G110. 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, by randomly determining the above. In addition, 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 means each time the plurality of positions to be instructed by the user are displayed on the display means.

Here, "the position displayed on the display means is changed each time a plurality of positions are displayed on the display means" means, for example, at least one of the plurality of positions each time the plurality of positions are displayed on the display means. It is to change one to a different position from the previous display. For example, changing all of a plurality of positions to positions different from those at the time of the previous display. Further, for example, a part of a plurality of positions is changed to a position different from that at the time of the previous display. Further, for example, a part of the plurality of positions is set to the same position each time, and the rest is set to a different position each time.

In this way, each time the consent acceptance image G100 or the authentication image G110 is displayed, a plurality of positions to be instructed for executing the initial processing are changed, so that 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 for executing the initial processing by using an automatic program. As a result, it becomes difficult to repeatedly execute the initial processing by using the automatic program.

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

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

Similarly, in the authentication image G110, the initial processing 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 at 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 simultaneously or substantially simultaneously. Further, the processing control unit 130 may perform control for starting, continuing, or completing the processing when it is determined by the determination unit 120 that a plurality of positions are simultaneously or substantially simultaneously instructed.

Here, the case where "a plurality of positions are instructed at the same time" is to determine whether or not each of the plurality of positions is instructed at the same time point. In addition, when "a plurality of positions are instructed at substantially the same time", the time when each of the plurality of positions is instructed is within a predetermined time (a short time that can be regarded as almost simultaneous). If this is the case. In other words, among the plurality of positions, the time from the time when the position first designated by the user is designated to the time when the position last designated by the user is designated is within a predetermined time.

In this way, the initial processing will not be continued (started or completed) unless a plurality of positions displayed on the display unit 15 are instructed at the same time or substantially at the same time. Since it is very difficult to automatically or substantially simultaneously indicate a plurality of positions displayed on the display unit 15 using an automatic program, in this way, further processing by using the automatic program can be performed. It becomes difficult to execute repeatedly.

[6-6] For example, in the consent acceptance image G100, the third object P103 and the fourth object P104 may be displayed in sequence. That is, the fourth object P104 may be hidden 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 displayed in sequence. That is, the second object P112 and the third object P113 are not displayed from the beginning, and when the first object P111 is touched, the second object P112 is displayed and the first object P111 and the second object P112 are displayed. When both of the objects are touched, the third object P113 may be displayed. That is, in step S130 of FIG. 8, the second object P112 and the third object P113 are not displayed, and when it is determined in step S132 that the first object P111 is touched, the second object P112 is displayed and the step is performed. When it is determined in S134 that the second object P112 is touched, the third object P113 may be displayed.

In short, the display control unit 110 may sequentially display the plurality of positions to be instructed by the user on the display means. For example, when the display control unit 110 does not indicate the first position included in the plurality of positions, the display control unit 110 does not display the second position included in the plurality of positions on the display means, and indicates the first position. In some cases, 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 instead of displaying all of the plurality of positions at once. For example, a plurality of positions are displayed one by one in order. Further, for example, a plurality of positions are displayed one by one in order. For example, only one position (or some position) is displayed at first, and when the one position (or some position) is indicated, the other one position (or some other position) is displayed. Is displayed in order, such as displaying.

In this way, the initial processing will not be continued (started or completed) unless a plurality of positions sequentially displayed on the display unit 15 are instructed. Since it is difficult to achieve such a state by using an automatic program, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.

Further, according to the above, 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, and further. 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, if the above is performed, it becomes difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.

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

In the authentication image G110A shown in FIG. 9, the first object P111A and the second object P112A indicating the two positions to be touched (designated) by the user and the third object P113A indicating the locus to be input 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, when the user inputs the locus indicated by the third object P113A while touching both the first object P111A and the second object P112A, the initial process is executed. That is, with the user 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 trajectory indicated by the third object P113A. When the object is moved from one end to the other on the touch panel along the third object P113A, the initial processing is executed.

At this time, the user may arbitrarily select which of both ends of the third object P113A is the starting point of the locus input (in other words, the direction of the locus input). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the locus is input regardless of whether the user moves the finger from the upper side to the lower side along the third object P113A or from the lower side to the upper side. It may be determined that it has been done.

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

It is not necessary to limit the start point of the locus input to any of both ends of the third object P113A. Anyway, if the user's finger traces all the third object P113A, it may be determined that the locus has been input regardless of what kind of route the user's finger has moved. For example, when the user traces all the third objects P113A as a result of moving the finger back and forth on the third object P113A one or more times starting from an intermediate point other than both ends of the third object P113A. Also, it may be determined that the locus has been input.

In short, the display control unit 110 starts, continues, or performs the process with a trajectory object indicating a trajectory to be input in order to start, continue, or complete the process before or during the execution of the process. Control may be performed to display at least one position different from the position on the locus, which should be instructed to complete, on the display means. Further, the determination unit 120 may determine whether or not the at least one position is instructed and whether or not the locus is input by instructing the position on the locus. Then, the processing control unit 130 may perform control to start, continue, or complete the processing when it is determined that the locus is input while the at least one position is instructed. Good.

Here, "when it is determined that the locus is input while at least one position is specified" means that one of the loci is in a state where at least one position different from the position on the locus is designated. This is the case when it is determined that the positions on the locus are instructed in order from one end to the other. In other words, when it is determined that at least one position different from the position on the locus is designated and the other designated position moves (slides) from one end of the locus to the other end. is there.

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

In this way, the initial processing will not be started (continued or completed) unless it is determined that the locus has been input while at least one position different from the position on the locus is touched. Since it is very difficult to realize such a determination by using an automatic program, it becomes more difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program as described above.

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

[6-9] In the above, the case of suppressing the initial processing in the game 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 information processing device other than a game system or a game control device, and the "process" may be a process other than the process related to the game. For example, the "process" may be a process for distributing a game program or a program or data other than the game data (downloading to the user's terminal device), or various services provided via the Internet (for example,). It may be a process in a social networking service, etc.).

[7. Supplementary note] From the above description, the present invention can be grasped as follows, for example. In addition, in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the reference numerals described in the drawings are appropriately described in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated mode.

1) The game system (1) according to one aspect of the present invention includes a receiving means (100) that receives an execution request for a process (for example, 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 process on the display means (15). The display control means (110) for performing the above, the determination means (120) for determining whether or not the plurality of positions are instructed, and the processing when it is determined that the plurality of positions are instructed. It includes a process control means (130) that controls to start, continue, or complete execution.

10) The game control device (10 or 30) according to one aspect of the present invention is for starting, continuing, or completing the process, which is displayed on the display means (15) before or during the execution of the process. A means (120) for acquiring a determination result of whether or not a plurality of positions to be instructed are instructed, and when it is determined that the plurality of positions are instructed, execution of the process is started. It includes a process control means (130) that controls to continue or complete.

11) Further, the program according to one aspect of the present invention functions the 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 make you.

12) Further, the 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, in the control method of the game system (1) according to one aspect of the present invention, the execution of the process is started before the reception step of receiving the execution request of the process and before the execution of the process or during the execution of the process. A display control step (S110) for controlling the display of a plurality of positions to be instructed to continue or complete, and a determination step for determining whether or not the plurality of positions are instructed. (S120, S126) and a process control step (S128) that controls to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process when it is determined that the plurality of positions are instructed.

14) Further, the control method of the game control device (10 or 30) according to one aspect of the present invention starts the execution of the process, which is displayed on the display means (15) before or during the execution of the process. , A step (S120, S126) for acquiring a determination result of whether or not a plurality of positions to be instructed to continue or complete are instructed, and a case where it is determined that the plurality of positions are instructed. Includes a process control step (S128) that controls to start, continue, or complete the execution of the process.

According to the inventions described in 1), 10) to 14) above, when a plurality of positions displayed on the display means are instructed before or during the execution of the process, the process starts, continues, or is performed. If completed and the plurality of positions are not indicated, the process will not start, continue, or be completed. Since it is difficult to automatically indicate a plurality of positions displayed on the display means by using an automatic program, according to the present invention, the use of an automatic program that automatically and repeatedly requests execution of processing. Therefore, it becomes impossible to start the process automatically or complete the process to the end. As a result, it is possible to prevent the process from being repeatedly executed by using such an automatic program.

2) In one aspect of the present invention, the display control means (110) controls to change the position displayed on the display means each time the plurality of positions are displayed on the display means (15). It may include means of doing so.

According to the invention described in 2), at least one of the plurality of positions is changed each time a plurality of positions to be instructed for starting, continuing, or completing the process 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 indicate a plurality of positions to be instructed for starting, continuing, or completing the process by using an automatic program. As a result, it becomes 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 process is started or continued when three or more positions displayed on the display means are instructed, and if the three or more positions are not instructed, the process is performed. Will not start, continue, or complete. Since it is very difficult to automatically indicate three or more positions displayed on the display means using an automatic program, if this is done, the process can be repeatedly executed by using the automatic program. It becomes difficult to do.

4) In one aspect of the present invention, the display control means (110) places objects (P113, P114) relating to matters that the user agrees or acknowledges when starting, continuing, or completing the process at the plurality of positions. It may include means for controlling display in at least one of them.

According to the invention described in 4), when a plurality of positions are instructed by the user, the above object is also instructed, and matters to be agreed or acknowledged when starting, continuing, or completing the process. The user has agreed or acknowledged. In the game system, a matter to be agreed or acknowledged when starting, continuing, or completing the process is presented to the user, and the process is started, continued, or completed only when the user agrees or acknowledges the matter. 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 instructing a plurality of positions displayed on the display means. In this regard, if the operation for instructing a plurality of positions is imposed on the user separately from the above-mentioned operation for consent or consent, the user's labor will increase, but according to the present invention. For example, since the operation for instructing a plurality of positions also serves as the above-mentioned operation for consent or consent, it is possible to suppress an increase in the time and effort of the user.

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. It is displayed in a display mode (FIGS. 3 and 4) prompting the user to do so, and when the first position is not instructed, the user is not prompted to instruct the second position and the second position. It is displayed in a display mode (FIG. 3), and when the first position is instructed, the second position is displayed in a display mode (FIG. 4) that prompts the user to instruct the second position. You may do so.

According to the invention described in 5), the first position is displayed in a display mode prompting 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. Therefore, in order to start, continue, or complete the process, it is possible to guide the user to instruct the second position in that state after instructing the first position. That is, it is possible to guide the user to instruct 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 indicated at the same time or substantially at the same time, and the processing control means (130) determines whether the plurality of positions are simultaneously indicated. Alternatively, when it is determined that the instructions are given substantially at the same time, control for starting, continuing, or completing the execution of the process may be performed.

According to the invention described in 6), the process is started, continued, or completed when a plurality of positions are instructed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, and the process is started when a plurality of positions are instructed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously. 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 an automatic program, in this way, further processing by using the automatic program is repeated. It becomes difficult to execute.

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 for starting, continuing, or completing the process are sequentially displayed on the display means, in order to start, continue, or complete the process. , It is necessary to be in a state where multiple positions displayed sequentially are indicated. Since it is difficult to achieve such a state by using an 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) is the first position. When the position is not specified, the second position is not displayed on the display means (15), and when the first position is specified, the second position is displayed on the display means (15). It may be.

According to the invention described in 8), the second position is not displayed when the first position is not specified, and the second position is displayed on the display means when the first position is specified. In order to start, continue, or complete the process, it is necessary to perform an 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 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 locus to 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, to the display means (15). The determination means (120) includes a means for controlling the display, and whether or not the locus is input by instructing the position on the locus and whether or not the locus is designated by the determination means (120). The processing control means (130) includes means for determining the heel, and when it is determined that the locus has been input while the at least one position is instructed, the processing control means (130) starts, continues, or completes the processing. You may want to control to do so.

According to the invention described in 9), when it is determined that the locus is input in a state where at least one position different from the position on the locus is indicated, the process is started, continued, or completed, and so on. If it is not determined, the process will not start, continue, or be completed. Because it is very difficult to use an automatic program to automatically determine that the locus has been input while at least one position different from the position on the locus is indicated. If the above is done, it becomes difficult to repeatedly execute the process by using the automatic program.
