In this process, when the user instructs the execution of the game application, the main unit 200 requests the server device 100 for the course information displayed on the course selection screen of the game (step Sa1). Upon receiving this request, the server device 100 acquires the course information from the course information DB 121 and transmits it to the main device 200 (step Sa2). The main unit 200 that has received this course information displays the course selection screen on the controller 300 and / or the television 400 based on the course information (step Sa3).

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a course selection screen. On this screen, each course information can be selected and displayed in descending order of recommendation level. Specifically, each course information is composed of a course name, a user ID of the creator, a recommendation level, and the number of plays. In addition to this information, an image representing the course (for example, a thumbnail) or an image representing the creator (for example, an avatar) may be displayed. The course information may be displayed in ascending or descending order of the course creation date and time, or in ascending or descending order of the number of times the course has been played.

When any course is selected by the user while this course selection screen is displayed, the main unit 200 attaches the course ID of the selected course and sends the course data to the server device 100. Request (step Sa4). The server device 100 that has received this request acquires the course data identified by the received course ID from the storage unit 120. In addition, the comment data associated with the received course ID is acquired from the comment DB 123. Then, the acquired course data and comment data are transmitted to the main unit 200 (step Sa5). The main unit 200 that has received the course data or the like executes the game application based on the received course data, and displays the game execution screen on the controller 300 and / or the television 400 (step Sa6).

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a game execution screen. This screen is a screen that is displayed especially when the game is paused (paused). Course information is displayed on this screen overlaid on the game play screen. Specifically, the course name, the user ID of the creator, the degree of recommendation, and the number of plays are displayed. In addition to these, an image (for example, an avatar) representing the creator may be displayed. Further, the pause menu M is displayed on the same screen. In this pause menu M, a comment button B1, a recommended button B2, a retry button B3, a game stop button B4, and a comment display button B5 are arranged.

More specifically, it is a button for calling an input field for inputting a comment. The comment data input by selecting the comment button B1 is associated with the course ID and the user ID of the course, and is stored in the comment DB 123 of the server device 100. Further, the user ID of the user who received the comment is associated with the course ID of the course in the recommended information DB 122 of the server device 100 as the ID of the user who evaluated the course. When a comment is accepted, the course ID of the course and the value of the recommendation degree associated with the course information DB 121 of the server device 100 may be incremented.

The recommended button B2 is a button for expressing the intention to recommend this course. When the recommendation button B2 is selected, the course ID of the course and the value of the recommendation degree associated with the course information DB 121 of the server device 100 are incremented. Further, the user ID of the user who has selected the recommendation level button is associated with the course ID of the course in the recommendation information DB 122 of the server device 100 as the ID of the user who recommends the course.

The retry button B3 is a button for restarting the course from the beginning. The game stop button B4 is a button for stopping the play of the course. The comment display button B5 is a button for displaying a comment input by another user in connection with the course.

When the user clears the course, the main unit 200 requests the server device 100 for recommendation information for recommending (recommending) a course other than the course to the user (step Sa7). At this time, the main body device 200 transmits the course ID of the course cleared by the user to the server device 100. Upon receiving this request, the server device 100 executes the recommended course extraction process to extract the course recommended to the user (step Sa8).

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the recommended course extraction process. In this process, the server device 100 extracts a course recommended or evaluated by another user who has the same taste as the user who cleared the course. The total number of courses to be extracted is a variable that should be arbitrarily determined according to the allowable processing time, but in the present embodiment, four cases are extracted.

In step Sb1 of this process, the control unit 110 of the server device 100 acquires the course ID of the course cleared by the user. Next, the control unit 110 selects another user who has recommended or evaluated the course identified by the acquired course ID (step Sb2). Specifically, the acquired course ID and the user ID associated with the recommended information DB 122 are extracted. At this time, the control unit 110 randomly extracts the user ID. The number of extracted cases is a variable that should be arbitrarily determined according to the allowable processing time, but in the present embodiment, 6 cases are extracted.

Next, the control unit 110 extracts a recommended or evaluated course for each of the other selected users. In the present embodiment, the course ID of the extracted course is recorded in the course ID list L stored in the RAM of the control unit 110. In performing this process, the variable i of the loop process is set to the initial value "1", and the number of selected users ("6" in the present embodiment) is set as the closing value n (step Sb3). Then, the control unit 110 executes the user unit extraction process described below for the i-th user ID among the six extracted user IDs (step Sb4).

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the user unit extraction process. The total number of courses to be extracted for other users to be processed in this process is a variable to be arbitrarily set, but in the present embodiment, one is extracted.

First, the control unit 110 sets the variable j of the loop processing to the initial value "1" in order to set an upper limit on the number of trials for extracting from other users to be processed, and sets the closing value m as the upper limit of the number of trials. Is set (step Sc1). This upper limit is a variable that should be set arbitrarily, but in the present embodiment, it is set to 10 times.

Next, the control unit 110 extracts a course recommended or evaluated by another user to be processed (step Sc2). More specifically, the user ID of the user to be processed and the course ID associated with the recommended information DB 122 are extracted. At this time, the control unit 110 randomly extracts one course ID.

When one course ID is extracted, the control unit 110 determines whether or not the extracted course ID is the same as the course ID acquired in step Sb1 above or the course ID recorded in the course ID list L. (Step Sc3). As a result of this determination, if the course IDs are not duplicated (step Sc3: NO), the control unit 110 records the extracted course ID in the course ID list L (step Sc6), and this user unit extraction process. To finish.

On the other hand, as a result of this determination, if the course IDs are duplicated (step Sc3: YES), the control unit 110 increments the value of the variable j (step Sc4), and whether the value of the variable j is larger than the closing price m. Judgment is made as to whether or not (step Sc5). As a result of this determination, when the value of the variable j is equal to or less than the closing price m (step Sc5: NO), that is, when the number of extraction trials has not reached the upper limit value, the control unit 110 processes the step Sc2. Return to. On the other hand, as a result of this determination, when the value of the variable j is larger than the closing price m (step Sc5: YES), that is, when the number of extraction trials has reached the upper limit value, the control unit 110 uses the present user. The unit extraction process ends.
The above is the description of the user unit extraction process.

Returning to FIG. 13, when the user unit extraction process is completed, the control unit 110 refers to the course ID list L and determines whether or not the number of extracted course IDs has reached a predetermined value (step Sb5). .. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the number of extracted course IDs has reached four. As a result of this determination, when the number of extracted course IDs reaches a predetermined value (step Sb5: YES), the control unit 110 ends the recommended course extraction process.

On the other hand, as a result of this determination, if the number of extracted course IDs does not reach a predetermined value (step Sb5: NO), the control unit 110 increments the value of the variable i (step Sb6), and the variable i It is determined whether or not the value of is larger than the closing price n (step Sb7). As a result of this determination, when the value of the variable i is equal to or less than the closing price n (step Sb7: NO), that is, when the user to be processed still remains, the control unit 110 performs the processing in step Sb4. Return. On the other hand, as a result of this determination, when the value of the variable i is larger than the closing price n (step Sb7: YES), that is, when there are no users to be processed, the control unit 110 extracts the recommended course. End the process.
The above is the explanation of the recommended course extraction process.

Returning to FIG. 10, when the recommended course extraction process is completed, the server device 100 transmits the course ID extracted as a result of the recommended course extraction process to the main device 200 (step Sa9). The main unit 200 that has received this course ID generates a game clear screen based on this course ID and displays it on the controller 300 and / or the television 400 (step Sa10).

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a game clear screen. This screen is composed of a comment display area A1, a course information display area A2, and a recommended course display area A3. In the comment display area A1, a comment about the cleared course is displayed based on the comment data received in the above step Sa5. The comment is displayed together with the user ID of the user who made the comment. The comment and the user ID are displayed so as to flow in the horizontal direction of the screen. In other words, it scrolls automatically. The comment and the user ID are displayed in a loop. An image (for example, an avatar) representing the user may be displayed together with the user ID.

In the course information display area A2, the comment button B1, the recommended button B2, and the game end button B6 are displayed together with the course name and the user ID of the creator. The functions of the comment button B1 and the recommended button B2 are the same as those displayed on the game execution screen, respectively. An image (for example, an avatar) representing the user may be displayed together with the user ID. The game end button B6 is a button for ending the play of the course.

In the recommended course display area A3, the course name identified by the course ID received from the server device 100 in step Sa9 is selectably displayed. The course name is specified, for example, by referring to the course information received from the server device 100 in step Sa1. The course name is displayed so that it flows horizontally on the screen. In other words, it scrolls automatically. The course name is displayed in a loop. In addition to the course name, course information other than the course name may be displayed. In addition, an image representing the course (for example, a thumbnail) or an image representing the creator (for example, an avatar) may be displayed.

When any of the courses displayed in the recommended course display area A3 is selected by the user, the main unit 200 requests the server device 100 with the course data with the course ID of the selected course attached. (Step Sa11). The server device 100 that has received this request acquires the course data identified by the received course ID from the storage unit 120. In addition, the comment data associated with the received course ID is acquired from the comment DB 123. Then, the acquired course data and comment data are transmitted to the main unit 200 (step Sa12). The main unit 200 that has received the course data or the like executes the game application based on the received course data, and displays the game execution screen on the controller 300 and / or the television 400 (step Sa13).
