The mobile terminal 2b of the participating user transmits the acquired privilege ID to the server 3, and the control unit 331 of the server 3 refers to the privilege management table shown in FIG. 4B and provides the privilege corresponding to the received privilege ID. Give to participating users. By photographing the two-dimensional code displayed on the execution user's mobile terminal 2a, the participating user can become a friend of the execution user and obtain a privilege, so that the two-dimensional display displayed on the execution user's mobile terminal 2a can be obtained. Increases motivation to shoot codes. In addition, the participating users can enjoy the lottery game by selecting one two-dimensional code from a plurality of two-dimensional codes and shooting the code, and the participating users are more motivated to shoot the two-dimensional code.

In addition, the control unit 331 of the server 3 may give the privilege corresponding to the privilege ID to the participating user and at the same time grant the privilege to the executing user, and execute the execution without giving the privilege to the participating user. Benefits may be given only to the user. Further, the privilege given to the participating user and the privilege given to the executing user may be the same, or may be predetermined privilege respectively.

FIG. 14B shows another example of the display screen of the mobile terminal 2 that displays a plurality of two-dimensional codes. On the home screen 1310 shown in FIG. 14B, a solid 1311 displaying a plurality of codes, an explanation 1312 of how to use the solid 1311 displaying a plurality of codes, and the like are displayed. The solid 1311 arranges each of a plurality of two-dimensional codes on each surface. The browsing execution unit 261 of the mobile terminal 2a creates drawing data of the solid 1311 that can be rotated in an arbitrary direction in response to an operation of the execution user using the operation unit 23. Then, the browsing execution unit 261 outputs the created drawing data to the display unit 24.

As a result, the participating user rotates and displays the solid 1311 displaying the plurality of two-dimensional codes according to the operation unit 23 of the mobile terminal 2a, and takes a picture of the desired two-dimensional code using the participating user's mobile terminal 2b. Therefore, the three-dimensional display increases the enjoyment of searching for the two-dimensional code of the hidden surface and increases the motivation to shoot the two-dimensional code.

The two-dimensional code may be created based on a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that includes information that identifies the execution user ID and indicates a storage location of each screen display data. In this case, the information transmission unit 263 creates a game progress request including the participating user ID and the executing user ID based on the URL obtained by shooting the two-dimensional code. In addition, in a server equipped with a process of transmitting game execution screen display data, game registration screen display data, and friend registration screen display data to a mobile terminal, the URL to be included in the game progress request is included in the game execution screen display data and the game registration screen. By using the display data and the friend registration screen display data as a storage location, it is possible to reduce the process of implementing the existing social game.

In the present embodiment, the execution user ID is acquired by the mobile terminal 2b of the participating user taking a picture of the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal 2a of the execution user. However, the execution user ID is transmitted from the execution user's mobile terminal 2a to the participating user's mobile terminal 2b using short-range wireless communication between terminals such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) without using the two-dimensional code. May be good.

FIG. 15 shows the mobile terminal 2'(2) used when the execution user ID is transmitted from the execution user's mobile terminal 2'a to the participating user's mobile terminal 2'b by using short-range wireless communication between the terminals. It is a figure which shows an example of the schematic structure of'a, 2'b). In FIG. 15, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the mobile terminal 2 shown in FIG. 2, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The mobile terminal 2'includes a short-range wireless communication unit 27'in addition to each unit shown in FIG. The short-range wireless communication unit 27'has an interface circuit for performing short-range wireless communication according to a communication method such as Bluetooth. The information transmission unit 263 of the mobile terminal 2'a of the execution user transmits the execution user ID via the short-range wireless communication unit 27'. The mobile terminal 2'b of the participating user receives the execution user ID transmitted via the short-range wireless communication unit 27'and passes it to the information acquisition unit 262.

FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram for explaining the screen transition of the mobile terminal 2'in this case. In FIG. 16, the same components as those in the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. First, as shown in FIG. 16, the participating user's mobile terminal 2'b receives the execution user ID from the execution user's mobile terminal 2'a using short-range wireless communication between the terminals. Next, the server 3 determines whether or not the participating user is registered in the game and whether or not the participating user is a friend of the executing user.

When the participating user is not registered, the mobile terminal 2b of the participating user displays a game registration screen for registering the participating user in the game. After the participating user is registered on the game registration screen, the participating user's mobile terminal 2'b receives the execution user ID again from the execution user's mobile terminal 2'a using short-range wireless communication between the terminals. Display the prompt acquisition process screen (not shown).

Again, the participating user's mobile terminal 2'b receives the execution user ID from the execution user's mobile terminal 2'a using short-range wireless communication between the terminals. The mobile terminal 2'b of the participating user who has acquired the execution user ID displays a friend registration screen for registering the participating user as a friend of the execution user.

This makes it possible for the user to easily display the game execution screen displayed on another user's terminal on the user's terminal without using a two-dimensional code and without performing complicated procedures. Become.

Further, the server 3 determines whether or not the participating user is registered in the SNS supplement, not whether or not the user ID of the participating user is registered in the SNS application user management table, but whether or not the participating user is currently logged in to the SNS application. It may be judged by whether or not. In that case, when the server 3 receives the game execution screen display data from the participating user's mobile terminal 2b, if the authentication for the participating user is successful, the server 3 determines that the participating user is registered in the SNS application. If the authentication for the participating user is not successful, it is determined that the participating user is not registered in the SNS application. Similarly, the server 3 may determine whether or not the participating user is registered in the game based on whether or not the participating user is logged in to the game.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions, and modifications can be made to this without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In particular, when the game system 1 of the present invention functions as a server 3 connected to the mobile terminal 2 via a network, the game progress screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 2 based on the data generated by the server 3. It is a hybrid game in which each of the server 3 and the mobile terminal 2 takes part in the processing, such as displaying the web and displaying other menu screens by the native application installed on the mobile terminal 2. You can also do it.
