The control unit controls applications stored in the storage unit, information output to the touch panel display, acquisition of input information, and the like. In this embodiment, screen data and item files are acquired from the management server 20 and output via a touch panel display or a speaker.

A touch panel display, which is an input/output unit, functions as output means and input means. Specifically, information can be output on the panel, and various operations such as an operation of touching the screen (touch) and an operation of releasing a finger from the screen (release) can be performed according to the touch status.

The management server 20 is a computer system that provides games to the user terminals 10 . This management server 20 includes a control section 21 , a user information storage section 22 and an item information storage section 23 .

The control unit 21 includes control means (CPU, RAM, ROM, etc.) and performs processes (login management stage, game management stage, item management stage, and reproduction management stage) to be described later. By executing a management program for this purpose, the control section 21 functions as a login management section 210, a game management section 211, an item management section 212, and a reproduction management section 213, as shown in FIG.

The login management unit 210 executes processing for authenticating the user based on the access of the user terminal 10 .
The game management unit 211 executes a process of providing a game (for example, browser game) to the user terminal 10 of the logged-in user. In this embodiment, in this game, a plurality of scenes (my page screen, lesson screen, etc.) can be used by using the user's avatar (a character serving as an alter ego of the user). Here, it is also possible to visit other users' My Pages. Further, the game management unit 211 provides a dance game on the lesson screen, and determines whether the dance game satisfies a predetermined game clear condition.

The item management unit 212 executes processing for managing wearable items and sounds provided to the user terminal 10 . The item management unit 212 registers wearable items and sounds acquired by the user in the user information storage unit 22 . In this embodiment, a digital sound source is used as the sound. For example, digital sound sources such as MP3, WMA, AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), and ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) are used.
The reproduction management unit 213 executes processing for outputting sound in the user terminal 10 . The reproduction management section 213 uses the information recorded in the user information storage section 22 to adjust the sound. In this case, the sound quality and depth of sound are adjusted by superimposing sound layers and adjusting the sound quality.

As shown in FIG. 2, user management data 220 is recorded in the user information storage unit 22 . This user management data 220 is recorded when user registration is performed, and is updated according to the game situation. This user management data 220 includes data on user IDs and passwords. Furthermore, data related to the friend list and game ID are recorded in association with the user ID. Furthermore, in association with the game ID, data regarding status, acquired items, and item settings are recorded.

In the user ID data area, data regarding an identifier for specifying each user is recorded.
The password data area records data relating to a password for authenticating a user at login.

The friend list records data relating to identifiers (user IDs) for specifying friends designated by this user.
In the game ID data area, data relating to an identifier for specifying the game used by this user is recorded.

Data relating to the progress of the game for this user is recorded in the status data area. In the status data area, data regarding the avatar's location (scene), physical strength, etc. are recorded.

In the acquired item data area, data relating to an identifier for specifying an item acquired by the user is recorded.
In the item setting data area, data relating to the obtained item setting information is recorded. In this item setting data area, for an identifier (item ID) for specifying the acquired dance or sound, data (for example, my page) regarding the scene (for example, my page) where this dance or sound is played as a sound output condition. scene ID) is recorded.

As shown in FIG. 3, item management data 230 is recorded in the item information storage unit 23 . This item management data 230 is recorded when an item to be provided to the user is registered. The item management data 230 includes game IDs, item IDs, item management information, and item files.

In the game ID data area, data relating to identifiers for specifying games that provide various items are recorded.
In the item ID data area, data regarding an identifier for specifying each item is recorded.

The item management information records data on supply conditions, item attributes, item effects, and item adjustments.
Data relating to conditions for providing this item to the user is recorded in the provision condition data area. For example, as a provision condition for the item "dance", "take and pass a dance lesson" is set. In addition, as a condition for providing sound associated with "dance", in addition to the condition for providing "dance", "predetermined item was worn" is set.

Data relating to the type, name, etc. of this item are recorded in the item attribute data area. In this embodiment, the type of wearable item or sound is identified by the item attribute.
In the item effect data area, data relating to the effect of using an item is recorded. For example, as an item effect, there is an action of an avatar wearing an item (for example, dancing). Also, as an item effect when the sound is played, the avatar's physical strength recovery speeds up.

Information (sound adjustment information) for adjusting an item (here, sound) is recorded in the item adjustment data area. As the sound adjustment information, an adjustment effect is recorded with respect to the adjustment condition parameters. As adjustment condition parameters, items to be worn, status (for example, physical strength of avatar), number of friends, and the like are used. Adjustment effects for these adjustment condition parameters include sound tempo, musical scale, sound quality (e.g., frequency characteristics, distortion rate, SN ratio, dynamic range), number of sound sources (e.g., number of musical instruments), number of sound channels (surround effect), and the like. is recorded. In this embodiment, this adjustment effect adjusts the sound content. For example, it adjusts the tempo up and down, the tone of the tune, the sound quality, the thickness of the sound (the number of sound sources, the number of channels). Here, depending on the strength of the equipped item, the amount of physical strength, and the number of friends, adjust to increase the tempo, bright melody, and thickness of the sound.

In the item file data area, an image file of the wearable item, an action file for executing an action (for example, dancing), and a sound file for reproducing sound are recorded. In this sound file, a sound layer is configured for each sound source and channel. Thus, by adjusting the number of layers, it is possible to change the number of sound sources and the number of channels during playback. Also, by recording high-quality sound, it is possible to change the quality of the sound during playback.

Next, processing executed in the management server 20 will be described. Here, the item provision processing (FIG. 4) and the sound reproduction processing (FIG. 5) will be described in order.
(Item provision processing)
First, the process of providing items (sounds) to the user will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, a lesson is taken in a predetermined game, and items are provided when the lesson is passed.

First, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes login processing (step S1-1). Specifically, when the user uses the game, the user terminal 10 is used to access the management server 20 . In this case, the login management section 210 of the control section 21 of the management server 20 outputs an authentication screen to the user terminal 10 . Then, the login management unit 210 acquires the user ID and password entered on the authentication screen. If the acquired user ID and password are registered in the user information storage unit 22, the login management unit 210 completes user authentication and identifies the user ID.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes my page output processing (step S1-2). In this case, the game management section 211 of the control section 21 outputs the my page screen to the touch panel display of the user terminal 10 . Then, when taking a lesson, the lesson taking icon in the My Page screen is selected. In this case, the game management section 211 outputs an item list displaying items recorded in the user management data 220 to the touch panel display. Then, the user selects an item necessary for taking the lesson from the item list. In this case, the game management unit 211 attaches items to the user's avatar.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes lesson taking processing (step S1-3). Specifically, the game management section 211 of the control section 21 outputs a lesson screen to the touch panel display of the user terminal 10 . In this embodiment, a dance game is played on the lesson screen.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes determination processing as to whether or not the test has passed (step S1-4). Specifically, the game management unit 211 of the control unit 21 determines that the player has passed the lesson screen when the dance game is cleared.

If it is determined that the dance game cannot be cleared and the player has not passed ("NO" in step S1-4), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 terminates the item providing process.
On the other hand, if the item is determined to be acceptable ("YES" in step S1-4), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes item registration processing (step S1-5). Here, the item "dance" is provided for the provision condition "take and pass a dance lesson". Specifically, the item management unit 212 of the control unit 21 records the item ID of “dance” in the user management data 220 .

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes determination processing as to whether or not the sound provision condition is satisfied (step S1-6). Specifically, the game management unit 211 of the control unit 21 determines whether or not the item recorded in the provision condition of the item management data 230 was worn when taking the lesson. Then, the game management unit 211 determines that the sound provision condition is satisfied when the player wears the predetermined item and takes the lesson.

If it is determined that the sound provision condition is satisfied ("YES" in step S1-6), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes sound registration processing (step S1-7). Specifically, the item management section 212 of the control section 21 records the item ID of the sound corresponding to the provision condition in the user management data 220 .

On the other hand, if it is determined that the sound provision condition is not satisfied ("NO" in step S1-6), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 skips the sound registration process (step S1-7).

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes item setting processing (step S1-8). Specifically, the item management section 212 of the control section 21 outputs an item setting screen to the user terminal 10 . On this item setting screen, it is possible to set a scene for reproducing the obtained item (dance, sound). Then, the item management unit 212 acquires data related to the scene specified on the item setting screen (for example, the scene ID of the My Page screen). In this case, the item management unit 212 of the control unit 21 records the scene ID in the item setting data area in association with the item ID of the acquired item.

Next, sound reproduction processing will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a sound is reproduced in a predetermined scene.
(Sound playback processing)
Here, first, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes scene detection processing (step S2-1). Specifically, the game management unit 211 of the control unit 21 identifies the scene ID of the scene where the avatar is located (for example, my page screen).

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes determination processing as to whether or not there is sound setting (step S2-2). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 checks whether or not there is an item ID associated with the detected scene ID in the user management data 220 . Here, in the user management data 220, when the item ID of the sound is recorded in association with the specified scene ID, it is determined that there is a sound setting. For example, it is assumed that the item ID of an item (dance, sound) is recorded for the scene ID of the My Page screen.

If it is determined that there is a sound setting ("YES" in step S2-2), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes adjustment condition parameter specifying processing (step S2-3). Specifically, the reproduction management section 213 of the control section 21 extracts the item management data 230 in which the item ID associated with the scene ID is recorded in the item information storage section 23 . Then, the reproduction manager 213 acquires the adjustment condition parameters recorded in the item adjustment data area of the extracted item management data 230 . Next, the reproduction management unit 213 acquires the parameter values of the adjustment condition parameters from the user management data 220 and temporarily stores them in the memory.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes sound adjustment processing (step S2-4). Specifically, the reproduction management section 213 of the control section 21 uses the item management data 230 to identify the adjustment effect corresponding to the parameter value acquired from the user management data 220 . Then, the reproduction management unit 213 adjusts the sound of the item file according to the adjustment effect.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes sound providing processing (step S2-5). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 provides the user terminal 10 with the adjusted item file.

If it is determined that there is no sound setting ("NO" in step S2-2), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 performs the adjustment condition parameter specifying process (step S2-3) to the sound providing process ( Skip step S2-5).

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes screen output processing (step S2-6). Specifically, the game management unit 211 of the control unit 21 outputs the screen of the specified scene (my page screen) to the touch panel display of the user terminal 10 . In this case, the user terminal 10 reproduces the item file obtained from the management server 20. FIG. For example, a dance motion file causes an avatar to dance. Also, when the sound file is acquired, the user terminal 10 outputs the sound in time with the dance.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In this embodiment, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes a lesson taking process (step S1-3). Then, when it is determined that the lesson has been passed and the sound providing condition is satisfied ("YES" in step S1-6), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes sound registration processing. (step S1-7). This makes it possible to acquire the sound as an item.

(2) In this embodiment, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes item setting processing (step S1-8). As a result, the acquired sound can be reproduced in a scene desired by the user.

(3) In the present embodiment, when it is determined that there is a sound setting in the sound reproduction process ("YES" in step S2-2), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes adjustment condition parameter specifying processing. (step S2-3). Thereby, the sound to be reproduced can be changed based on the user information.

[Second embodiment]
Next, according to FIG. 6, a second embodiment of the game processing system embodying the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the second embodiment has a configuration in which only the sound reproduction processing of the first embodiment is changed, so detailed description of the same parts will be omitted.

In the first embodiment, in the sound reproduction process, the sound adjusted before the sound is provided is reproduced, but in the present embodiment, the sound is dynamically adjusted according to the situation during the sound reproduction.
This sound reproduction processing will be described with reference to FIG. This sound reproduction process is performed subsequent to the sound reproduction process of the first embodiment.

(Sound playback processing)
Here, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes the adjustment condition parameter specifying process (step S3-1), as in step S2-3.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes determination processing as to whether or not the state has changed (step S3-2). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 compares the parameter value of the newly acquired adjustment condition parameter with the parameter value recorded in the memory. If the parameter values match, it is determined that there is no state change.

If it is determined that the state has not changed (“NO” in step S3-2), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 returns to the adjustment condition parameter specifying process (step S3-1).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the parameter value of the newly acquired adjustment condition parameter differs from the parameter value recorded in the memory and the state has changed ("YES" in step S3-2), the management server 20 controls The unit 21 executes sound adjustment processing (step S3-3), as in step S2-4.
Then, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes the sound providing process (step S3-4) as in step S2-5.

According to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) to (3) above, the following effects can be obtained.
(4) In the present embodiment, if it is determined that the state has changed ("YES" in step S3-2), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 performs the sound adjustment process as in step S2-4. Execute (step S3-3). Thereby, the user can grasp the state change by the sound.

Note that the above embodiment may be modified as follows.
- In each of the above embodiments, in the sound reproduction process, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes the adjustment condition parameter specifying process (steps S2-3 and S3-1). Here, for the adjustment condition parameters recorded in the item adjustment data area of the item management data 230, parameter values are obtained from the user management data 220. FIG. The acquisition source of this parameter value is not limited to the user management data 220 . For example, participation in an event may be used as the sound output condition, and the sound may be adjusted according to the state of the event in which the user participates. In this case, the game management unit 211 of the control unit 21 of the management server 20 holds an event in a social network game in which multiple users participate, and manages the users who participate in the event as a group (guild). In this case, the user information of the participating users is used to perform sound adjustment processing.

(Sound adjustment processing)
The sound adjustment processing will be described with reference to FIG. Here, it is assumed that a user who has acquired an item related to sound participates in an event. For example, as sounds, shouts, applause, cheers, cheers, and murmurs are used.

Here, first, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes a process of specifying the number of participants (step S4-1). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 calculates, from the game management unit 211, the number of users participating in the event.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes participant attribute identification processing (step S4-2). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 acquires user information in the user management data 220 of all users participating in this event. For example, as user information, the status (physical strength information) recorded in the user management data 220 of each user is acquired.

Next, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes sound adjustment processing based on the number of participants and attributes (step S4-3). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 determines the multiplicity of sounds (the number of sound sources) according to the number of participants. Furthermore, the reproduction management unit 213 uses the physical strength information of each participating user to determine the sound volume of the sound source assigned to each participating user. Then, the reproduction management unit 213 provides the user terminal 10 with the sound file adjusted based on the determined multiplicity and volume.
As a result, the sound played at the meeting place of the group (guild) with many participating users in the event is thicker, and the atmosphere of the place can be enhanced.

- In each of the above embodiments, in the sound reproduction process, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes the adjustment condition parameter specifying process (steps S2-3 and S3-1). Here, the sound may be adjusted based on relationships with other users. For example, it is assumed that a predetermined user (visitor user) enters the room of another user (visited user) using "entering my page" as a sound output condition. In this case, the user information of the visitor user and the user information of the visiting user are used to perform sound adjustment processing.

(Sound adjustment processing)
The sound adjustment processing will be described with reference to FIG.
Here, first, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes determination processing as to whether or not there is sound setting (step S5-1). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 checks whether or not sound settings are recorded in the user management data 220 of the visiting user.

When determining that there is no sound setting ("NO" in step S5-1), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 terminates the sound adjustment process.
On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a sound setting ("YES" in step S5-1), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes determination processing as to whether there is commonality (step S5-2). ). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 compares each item included in the visitor user's user management data 220 with each item included in the visited user's user management data 220 . Acquired items and a friend list can be used as items. Then, common items are specified in the user management data 220 of both users.

If it is determined that there is commonality ("YES" in step S5-3), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes sound adjustment processing based on the commonality (step S5-4). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 adjusts the sound set by the visiting user based on common items in the user management data 220 of both users. For example, when the number of common items is equal to or greater than the reference number, the sound quality and the number of sound sources are increased to improve the sound quality and depth of sound. Furthermore, if a chorus is set, the number of songs sung may be increased. Also, the musical scale may be adjusted according to the sound acquired by each user.

On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no commonality ("NO" in step S5-3), the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes default setting processing (step S5-5). Specifically, the reproduction management unit 213 of the control unit 21 provides the user terminal 10 with the sound set in the user management data 220 of the visiting user.
This makes it possible to adjust the sound based on the compatibility between the users and enhance the interest of the users.

In each of the above embodiments, in the sound providing process, when the control unit 21 of the management server 20 passes the lesson taking process (step S1-3) and determines that the sound providing conditions are satisfied (step S1- 6), sound registration processing is executed (step S1-7). Here, as a condition for providing sound, a quiz about sound may be provided. In this case, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes a quiz process instead of or in addition to the lesson taking process (step S1-3). Specifically, the item management section 212 of the control section 21 generates a quiz based on the sound recorded in the item information storage section 23 . For example, generate a sound file with changed playback speed or scale. Alternatively, a sound file may be generated by extracting a specific musical scale. The item management unit 212 then provides the user terminal 10 with the generated sound file.

Furthermore, the item management unit 212 reproduces the sound file on the user terminal 10 and outputs a quiz screen (for example, a question about the name) regarding the generated item file to the touch panel display. The user inputs answers to the quizzes output to the touch panel display. The item management unit 212 acquires the answer input to the quiz screen of the user terminal 10, and if it determines that the answer is correct, executes sound registration processing (step S1-7).

- In the above-described first embodiment, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes the sound providing process (step S2-5). Here, when a sound is output, information regarding attribute information (item name) and acquisition method (provision condition) of the sound may be output.

- In each of the above embodiments, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes screen output processing (step S2-6). In this scene, play a sound. Here, the status of the avatar may be changed in correspondence with the set sound. For example, if you set up-tempo music, your physical strength recovers faster. In this case, the reproduction management unit 213 is caused to hold an effect table in which item effects corresponding to sound elements (tempo, musical scale, and melody) constituting sound are recorded. Then, the reproduction management unit 213 calculates sound elements of the reproduced sound, and uses the effect table to apply item effects corresponding to the sound elements to the avatar.

- In each of the above embodiments, in the sound reproduction process, the control unit 21 of the management server 20 executes the adjustment condition parameter specifying process (steps S2-3 and S3-1). Here, the sound may be adjusted according to the type and number of items worn by the avatar. In this case, if many of the types of items worn are Japanese style, Japanese style music is played, or a ensemble is played depending on the number of worn items.

- In each of the above embodiments, the user terminal 10 and the management server 20 are used to implement the game processing method. The hardware configuration for realizing the game processing method is not limited to the server-client system. For example, an application stored in the user terminal may implement the game processing method. In this case, each means of the control section 21 is provided in the control section of the user terminal 10 . The control unit of the user terminal 10 determines whether or not to provide the sound stored in the user terminal 10 according to the user's operation, and records the output condition of this sound in the memory. Then, when the output condition is satisfied, the user terminal 10 reproduces the sound corresponding to the output condition.
