The pointer setting target user ID 46 is for designating the user who is the target of the pointer displayed in the ranking list, and is stored in association with the user ID 44 . The pointer setting target user ID 46 can be specified by the user ID of the user himself/herself, a rival, a friend in the game, or the like. Moreover, not only the user ID of the user himself but also a plurality of user IDs can be specified. The ranking of the user IDs 44 managed by the pointer setting target user ID 46 is indicated by the pointer (icon).

Next, a ranking list display method in the game system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

As described above, the ranking list display method in the game system of the present embodiment is mainly performed by the server side ranking list display processing program 22, and the display processing is performed on the client side. However, part or all of the ranking list display processing performed on the server side may be performed on the client side. Therefore, in the following embodiments, even if the server-side processing is described, the client-side processing may be performed, and even if the client-side processing is described, Alternatively, the processing may be performed on the server side.

First, when there is a ranking list display request from the mobile phone 4, the server 10 searches for the pointer setting target user ID 46 managed by the user ID 44 who made the ranking list display request, Using the ID 46 as a key, the ranking data 42 of the user ID 44 associated with the ranking data 41 is acquired and transmitted to the mobile phone 4 . The mobile phone 4 thereby acquires the ranking data 42 of the pointer setting target user ID 46 (S1).

Next, the server 10 calculates the display range (S2). Calculation of this display range is determined based on the rank data 42 of the ranking data 41, such as the first to ninth ranks of the ranking list, but is not limited to this. Also, the display range may be calculated based on screen scrolling on the mobile phone 4 or the like.

Next, the ranking data 41 are acquired (S3). It should be noted that the acquisition of the ranking data 41 may be all of the ranking data 41 or a part of the ranking data 41 .

After that, the ranking data 41 and the display range calculated in S2 are transmitted to the mobile phone 4 (S4). Thereby, the ranking data 41 of the calculated display range is displayed on the mobile phone 4 .

Next, the server 10 determines whether or not the display range calculated in S2 includes the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 acquired in S1 (S5). If it is determined in S5 that the display range does not include the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 obtained in S1, it is determined whether or not the display range is higher than the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 obtained in S1. A determination is made (S6).

If it is determined in S6 that the display range is not above the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 acquired in S1, the pointer is rotated upward (S8) and displayed (S10). If it is determined in S6 that the display range is higher than the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 acquired in S1, the pointer is rotated downward (S7) and displayed (S10).

On the other hand, if it is determined in S5 that the display range includes the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 acquired in S1, the pointer is rotated sideways on the mobile phone 4 (S9), and the pointer is displayed (S10). ).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the ranking list display method when the ranking display range is changed.

First, it is determined whether or not the display range has been changed by a user operation (for example, scrolling, sliding, etc.) (S11). If it is determined that the display range has been changed, it is determined whether or not the display range calculated in S2 includes the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 obtained in S1 (S12). If it is determined in S12 that the display range does not include the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 obtained in S1, it is determined whether the display range is higher than the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 obtained in S1. A determination is made (S13).

If it is determined in S13 that the display range is not above the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 acquired in S1, the pointer is rotated upward on the mobile phone 4 (S15), and the pointer display is updated (S17). . If it is determined in S13 that the display range is higher than the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 obtained in S1, the pointer is rotated downward on the mobile phone 4 (S14), and the pointer display is updated (S17). .

On the other hand, if it is determined in S12 that the display range includes the ranking indicated by the ranking data 42 obtained in S1, the pointer is rotated horizontally on the mobile phone 4 (S16), and the pointer display is updated ( S17).

The processing of S5 to S10 and the processing of S12 to S17 are performed for each pointer setting user ID 46 when there are a plurality of pointer setting user IDs 46 . That is, a pointer is displayed for each pointer setting target user ID 46 .

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing pointers of pointer-setting target users (the user himself/herself/friends/specified arbitrary users) on the ranking displayed on the mobile phone 4. As shown in FIG.

In the figure, a case where the target user for setting the pointer P is the 10th user will be described as an example.

On the screen A1, the rankings from 1st to 9th are displayed, and since the target user for which the pointer P is set is ranked 10th, the user name is not displayed. Therefore, a downward pointing pointer P indicating the direction in which the user exists is displayed. The pointer P displays the rank of the target user for which the pointer P is set.

A screen A2 shows a case where the user slides the screen A1 upward to display rankings from 2nd to 10th. In this screen, since the target user for pointer setting is displayed on the screen, the orientation of the pointer P is rotated in parallel and displayed. In this case, the position of the pointer P is displayed on the side of the target user for pointer setting.

A screen A3 shows a case where the user slides the screen A2 upward and the rankings are displayed from 6th to 14th. As shown in the figure, the pointer P is moved and displayed so as to follow the user to whom the pointer is set.

A screen A4 shows a case where the user slides the screen A3 upward and the rankings are displayed from 11th to 19th. In this screen A4, since the user for whom the pointer P is to be set is outside the screen again, the direction of the pointer P is rotated upward and displayed.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a case where there are a plurality of pointers of pointer-setting target users (the user himself/herself/friends/designated arbitrary users) on the ranking displayed on the mobile phone 4. In FIG.

In the figure, the case where the target users for setting the pointers P1 to P3 are the 4th, 10th, and 14th users will be described as an example.

On the screen B1, rankings from 1st to 9th are displayed, and since the target users for setting the pointer P2 and the point P3 are ranked 10th and 14th, their user names are not displayed. Therefore, downward pointers P2 and P3 are displayed to indicate the direction in which the user exists. The pointer P displays the rank of the target user for which the pointer P is set. On the other hand, the target user for setting the pointer P1 is ranked fourth and is displayed on the screen B1, so the orientation of the pointer P1 is rotated in parallel and displayed. In this case, the position of the pointer P1 is displayed on the side of the target user for pointer setting.

A screen B2 shows a case where the user slides the screen B1 upward to display rankings from second to tenth. In this screen, since the pointer setting target user of the pointer P2 is displayed on the screen, the direction of the pointer P2 is rotated in parallel and displayed. In this case, the position of the pointer P2 is displayed on the side of the user for whom the pointer is set.

A screen B3 shows a case where the user slides the screen B2 upward and the rankings are displayed from 6th to 14th. As shown in the figure, the pointer P2 is displayed so as to follow the pointer setting target user. Further, in this screen B3, since the target user for setting the pointer P1 is outside the screen, the direction of the pointer P1 is rotated upward and displayed. On the other hand, since the pointer setting target user of the pointer P3 is displayed on the screen, the orientation of the pointer P3 is rotated parallel and displayed.

A screen B4 shows a case where the user slides the screen B3 upward and the rankings are displayed from 11th to 19th. In this screen B4, the target user for setting the pointer P2 is again outside the screen, so the direction of the pointer P2 is rotated upward and displayed.

Next, screen transitions when the pointer displayed on the screen is tapped will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, it is determined whether or not a pointer selection operation (tap) has been performed (S21). If it is determined in S21 that the pointer selection operation has been performed, the ranking data 41 including the rank data 42 of the pointer setting target user ID 46 is obtained (S22).

Next, the pointer P is rotated sideways (S23), the ranking display range is changed so that the ranking display range is centered on the ranking of the pointer setting target user (S24), and the process ends. As a result, the ranking information of the pointer setting target user ID 46 is displayed.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a case where, when the pointer P of the 14th ranking displayed on the screen C1 is tapped, the screen changes to the screen C2 on which the 14th ranking of the setting target user is displayed at the center. Although the case of "tapping" has been described here, other operations may be performed instead of tapping. Screen transitions include scrolling, jumping, and the like, and any transition method is acceptable.

In the above example, when the pointer is tapped, the display is centered on the ranking of the pointer setting target user 46, but by rotating the pointer, the display is centered on the ranking of the pointer setting target user 46. You can move to the screen to For example, a downward or upward pointing pointer may be rotated sideways by a user operation to transition to a screen displaying the ranking of the pointer-setting target user 46 at the center.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 12, a method of referring to detailed information from the pointer indicating the setting target user on the ranking will be described.

First, it is determined whether or not a pointer selection operation (details display) has been performed (S31). Here, the pointer selection operation (details display) is, for example, double-tapping or long-pressing of the pointer, but is not limited to these.

When it is determined in S31 that the pointer selection operation (details display) has been performed, the ranking data 41 including the ranking data 42 of the pointer setting target user ID 46 is obtained (S32). Then, based on the acquired ranking data, a detailed information screen is displayed (S33).

FIG. 13(a) is a diagram showing a detailed display screen displayed when a pointer selection operation (detailed display) is performed. When a pointer selection operation (double tap) is performed on the pointer P displayed on the screen D1, detailed information on the pointer setting registration object user of the pointer P is displayed as shown on the screen D2. As another example, as shown in FIG. 13(b), when a pointer selection operation (long press) is performed on the pointer P displayed on the screen D3, the pointer setting registration of the pointer P is performed as shown on the screen D4. It is shown that the detailed information of the target user is displayed.

Next, a method of referring to a plurality of pieces of detailed information from a plurality of pointers indicating a plurality of setting target users on the ranking will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, it is determined whether or not a multiple pointer selection operation (detailed display) has been performed (S41). Here, the pointer multiple selection operation (detailed display) is, for example, simultaneous tapping of a plurality of pointers on the ranking, but is not limited to this.

If it is determined in S41 that the pointer multiple selection operation (detailed display) has been performed, the ranking data 41 of the pointer setting target user ID 46 is obtained (S42). The process of S42 is performed for all pointer setting target user IDs 46 (all pointers). After that, a detailed information screen is displayed based on the obtained ranking data (S43).

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a detailed display screen that is displayed when the pointer multiple selection operation (detailed display) is performed. When a pointer multiple selection operation (multiple taps at the same time) is performed on the pointers P1 and P2 displayed on the screen E1, detailed information of the pointer setting registration target user 46 of the pointers P1 and P2 is displayed as shown on the screen E2.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a pointer display method according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, when the number of target users is large, the pointers aligned in the same direction are collectively displayed. Specifically, when the number of pointer setting registration target user IDs 46 exceeds a predetermined number, pointers pointing in the same direction are collectively displayed. A screen F1 in the figure shows an example in which pointers P2 to P4 pointing in the same direction are collectively displayed. Screen F2 is a diagram showing an example in which the user slides pointers P2 to P4 to expand and display the pointers P2 to P4 that are temporarily collectively displayed. As a result, the developed pointers P2 to P4 can be individually selected. A screen F3 is a diagram showing a screen in which the user slides the expanded pointers P2 to P4 to return to a consolidated display.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where all the pointers of the pointer-setting target users are displayed has been described. It is not necessary to display all the pointers of the pointer setting target user.

Also, the shape of the pointer is not limited to the illustrated shape, and may be, for example, a finger shape, an inequality sign, or the like, as long as the direction of ranking of the user of the pointer setting target user ID 46 is known.

Furthermore, although the case where the ranking is displayed within the pointer has been described, the information displayed within the pointer is not limited to this, and may be, for example, the user name. Also, the color and shape of the pointer may be changed according to the type of user.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even a user who is not displayed on the ranking list screen can easily confirm the ranking of the user whose ranking is to be confirmed, according to the orientation of the user's pointer.

In addition, since the orientation of the pointer is changed in accordance with the transition of the ranking list screen, it is possible to easily confirm the ranking of the user whose ranking is to be confirmed even if the ranking list screen is transitioned.

Furthermore, by selecting the pointer, it is possible to transition to the ranking list display screen of the user indicated by the pointer, so it is possible to easily confirm the ranking of the user to be confirmed.

Furthermore, by selecting the pointer (details display), it is possible to transition to a screen that displays the detailed information of the user indicated by the pointer. It is possible to check the ranking of the user whose ranking is to be checked. In addition, by selecting a plurality of pointers (details display), it is possible to transition to a screen displaying detailed information of a plurality of users indicated by the pointers. be able to.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the pointers pointing in the same direction displayed on the ranking list display screen can be collectively displayed in an expandable/foldable manner. However, the ranking can be easily checked.
