<Player terminal 2>
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the player terminal 2. As shown in FIG. The player terminal 2 is
An information processing device (for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone terminal, a tablet terminal, etc.) that a player can possess and use. The player terminal 2 can output (for example, display a game screen, output game audio, etc.) the processing results of the game program transmitted from the server device 1 via a game application or a web browser. The player terminal 2 is
A control unit 21 that controls the entire player terminal 2, a storage unit 22 that stores various data and programs, an input unit 23 that allows the player to input operations, an output unit 24 that outputs game screens, operation screens, etc. It has a communication section 25 that performs information communication with the server device 1. The control unit 21 of this embodiment includes at least an operation information reception unit 211, a game operation unit 212, and a processing result reception unit 213. Further, the storage unit 22 includes at least a game operation information storage unit 221
Equipped with Each functional section of the control section 21 can be realized by the CPU executing a program stored in the memory or the game operation information storage section 221.

The operation information reception unit 211 receives operations related to the game using the input unit 23 by the player. Then, the operation information reception unit 211 transmits the received operation details to the game operation unit 212.
Or output to the server device 1.

The game operating unit 212 executes processing for operating a game application.
The game operation section 212 starts and operates the game based on the game software included in the game operation information stored in the game operation information storage section 221 and the player's operation details inputted from the input section 23 . The game operation unit 212 generates a game image from the image data included in the game operation information in accordance with the game operation, and performs control processing to cause the output unit 24 to output the generated image. Similarly, the game operating unit 212 generates music and audio for the game from the music data and audio data included in the game operating information as the game operates, and outputs the generated music and audio from the output unit 24. Performs control processing for Note that here, a configuration has been described in which the native application partially executes the functions of the Web application, that is, the game operation unit 212 of the player terminal 2 partially executes the functions of the processing result generation unit 113 of the server device 1. , as described later, the processing result generation section 1 does not have the game operation section 212.
13 may be configured to generate all game images and sounds as processing results.

When the game operating unit 212 is included, predetermined parameters of the game operated by the game operating unit 212 are managed by the server device 1 . For example, parameters such as stamina in the game and in-game currency are managed by the server device 1. Therefore, when a process involving a change in these predetermined parameters occurs in the game, the game operation unit 212 updates the parameters managed by the server device 1 by communicating with the server device 1 . Then, the game operating unit 212 receives the updated parameters from the server device 1, and continues the game operation based on the updated parameters.

The processing result receiving unit 213 operates to receive the processing result generated and transmitted by the processing result generating unit 113 of the server device 1 and output it to the player via the output unit 24.

<Example 1>
FIG. 5 is an example of a timeline regarding the processing of the server device 1 and the display screen of the player terminal 2 when the player interrupts the game during the execution of a predetermined event (for example, a quest game, etc.) in the game in this embodiment. It is.

First, at time t1, the operation information receiving section 112 of the server device 1 receives the operation information accepted by the operation information receiving section 211 of the player terminal 2, and starts a predetermined event.
In accordance with this, the game execution section 111 executes the game program, and the processing result generation section 113 generates a processing result of the game program. The generated processing result is received by the processing result receiving unit 213 of the player terminal 2, and output to the player from the output unit 24 of the player terminal 2 (for example, to display a game screen).

Next, at time t2, in response to the player terminal 2 starting up another application, for example, the interruption processing execution unit 114 of the server device 1 determines that the game application is to be interrupted. Accordingly, the interruption information storage unit 123 of the server device 1 stores event information (for example, event A, stage 1, party information, progress information up to the point of interruption, etc.), event start time information (for example, time t1, etc.). ).

Next, at time t3, based on the operation information from the operation information receiving section 211 of the player terminal 2, the return processing execution section 115 of the server device 1 determines that the game application has been restarted. Here, the processing result generation unit 113 generates a processing result corresponding to the event progress status based on the elapsed time from the event start time t1 to the return time t3, and transmits it to the player terminal. More specifically, the event duration information calculated from the return time information and the event start time information by the return processing execution unit 115, the stored event information,
Based on this, the game execution unit 111 causes the game to progress to the event progress status at the return time t3.
The game program may be processed by the computer. The event duration information is
It may be stored in the interruption information storage unit 123 and updated at a predetermined timing from the start of the event.

Furthermore, when the event is a quest game, the return processing execution unit 115 may determine whether the automatic progression setting information in the player information storage unit 122 is turned on. The automatic progression setting information may be turned on and off by, for example, the player pressing an automatic progression setting button or the like on the player terminal 2 during an event or on an environment setting screen. When the automatic progress setting information is on, the processing result generation unit 113 generates a processing result corresponding to the event progress status at the time of return time t3. On the other hand, when the automatic progress setting information is off, the processing result generation unit 113 generates a processing result corresponding to the event progress status at the time of interruption time t2. Note that even when the above-mentioned interrupt button is pressed, the automatic progress setting information may be switched on, or the automatic progress setting information may be turned off during the recovery process.

In addition, when performing the return processing, the return processing execution unit 115 of the server device 1 determines that the return processing from the interruption is possible based on, for example, the event information stored in the interruption information storage unit 123. In this case, the processing results related to the event may be immediately output without transmitting the processing results (for example, title screen image, home screen image, etc.) accompanying the startup of the game application to the player terminal 2. At this time, minimum processing such as checking the version information of the game application may be executed.

Next, at time t4, as the game execution unit 111 of the server device 1 finishes processing the event, the player terminal 2 also outputs a message indicating that the event has ended. At this time, the player may acquire the game content or change the parameters of the character owned by the player, depending on the game information in the game information storage section 121 and the game progress result in the game execution section 111.

In this way, the present embodiment can provide a game system that can improve convenience when a player interrupts a game. In other words, even if the player interrupts the game during the game by, for example, browsing a website or starting another application, a processing result that appears as if the game is progressing normally can be obtained. It is possible to provide a game system with improved convenience for players. On the other hand, since the processing results are only as if the game were progressing normally, it is not possible to skip the event by, for example, interrupting the game and returning, so there is a problem with fairness with players who have not interrupted the game. is also guaranteed.

<Example 2>
FIG. 6 shows the processing of the server device 1 and the display screen of the player terminal 2 when the game automatically progresses to the next event after the player interrupts the game during execution of a predetermined event in the game in this embodiment. This is an example of a timeline. Note that this is generally the same as in FIG. 5, except that the game has progressed to the next event at the return time t3, so a description thereof will be omitted.

Even when the game automatically progresses to the next event after the player interrupts the game, the processing result generation unit 113 generates event progress based on the time elapsed information and game information from the event start time t1 to the return time t3. Generate processing results that correspond to the situation. In addition,
When stamina or a predetermined item (so-called ticket, etc.) is consumed each time an event is started, the result of consumption is reflected in the player information in the player information storage section 122.

On the other hand, FIG. 7 shows the processing of the server device 1 and the processing of the player terminal 2 when the execution of the event is terminated according to a predetermined end condition after the player interrupts the game during the execution of a predetermined event in the game in this embodiment. 2 is an example of a timeline regarding a display screen of . In addition, the return time t
5 and 6, except that the execution of the event ends at point 3, so a description thereof will be omitted.

After the player interrupts the game, the execution of the event may end according to a predetermined end condition, and then the player may restart the game application. The predetermined termination conditions include, for example, a case where there is no next event following the event being executed at the time of interruption, a case where the value of stamina or a predetermined item does not satisfy a required consumption value, and the like. In addition, as other predetermined end conditions, the player has achieved the set end conditions according to the end conditions preset on the player terminal 2 (for example, the number of events to be executed, the game content information to be obtained, etc.). In some cases, the execution of the event may be terminated. A plurality of these predetermined termination conditions may be set.

If the event execution has finished when the player restarts the game application, the event execution result information (e.g., executed event information, number of event executions, consumption stamina and item information, parameters of the character used, acquired game content information, etc.) are generated by the processing result generation unit 113 and output to the output unit 24 of the player terminal 2.

Further, as the result information, information that allows the player to check the progress of the event during the interruption may be presented. More specifically, for example, the event progress during the interruption is made into an animation and stored as interruption video data in association with player information in the interruption information storage unit 123,
When the player executes a confirmation request for the interrupted video data on the player terminal 2, the interrupted video data may be output to the player terminal 2. In addition, when an external output request for interrupted video data is executed on the player terminal 2, a URL that allows the interrupted video data to be checked on the external terminal is issued, or the interrupted video data is sent in a video format or an image format such as GIF. The server device 1 performs external output processing such as outputting external output data from the server device 1 to the player terminal 2 and generating SNS posting data including the URL and external output data.
The external output processing execution unit 116 may execute the processing. Furthermore, when the server device 1 receives the external output request, the external output processing execution unit 116 provides the player terminal 2 with a trimming function for interrupted video data, and uses the interrupted video data trimmed by the player to The above-described external output processing may also be executed.

Also, instead of storing the interrupted video data in the interrupted information storage unit 123 as described above,
For example, the event progress log data during the interruption may be associated with the player information and stored in the interruption information storage unit 123, and when the player executes a confirmation request to check the interruption video on the player terminal 2, The processing result generation unit 113 reproduces the event progress during the interruption as interruption video data in the server device 1 based on the event progress log data corresponding to the confirmation request, and provides it to the player terminal 2. It's okay.

Note that the above-mentioned configuration regarding interrupted video data is not limited to the interruption, but also when the player executes an event video request by pressing an event recording request button or the like on the player terminal 2. Alternatively, event progress log data may be associated with player information and stored in a predetermined storage unit. This improves the player's convenience not only when the game is interrupted.

Further, event A and event B shown in FIG. 7 may be the same type of events (for example, stage 1 and stage 2, etc.), or may be mutually different types of events (for example,
Stage 1 and subsequent lottery events, etc.), different events of the same type (for example, Stage 1 and Stage 2, etc.), or events that are the same event and have been executed multiple times. It may be a situation (for example, stage 1 of the first time and stage 1 of the second time, etc.).

<Example 3>
FIG. 8 shows the processing of the server device 1 and the processing of the player when a notification is sent to the player terminal 2 according to predetermined notification conditions after the player interrupts the game while a predetermined event is being executed in the game in this embodiment. This is an example of a timeline regarding the display screen of the terminal 2. In addition, the return time t
This is largely the same as in Figure 5-7, except that the game has progressed to the next event at time 3, so the description will be omitted.

In this embodiment, after the player interrupts the game, a notification is sent to the player terminal 2 according to predetermined notification conditions. The predetermined notification conditions include, for example, when the execution of the event ends during the interruption (see time t2' in FIG. 8), when stamina or a predetermined item is consumed and becomes below a predetermined value, When the character's HP falls below a predetermined value (at time t in Figure 8)
2''), etc. In addition, as other predetermined end conditions, the player has achieved the set notification conditions according to the notification conditions preset on the player terminal 2 (for example, the number of events to be executed, the game media information that the player wants to obtain, etc.). In this case, the processing result generation unit 113 may generate a processing result (notification information) and output the processing result (notification information) to the player terminal 2. A plurality of these predetermined notification conditions may be set, or the same condition as the predetermined termination condition of the second embodiment may be set.

The embodiments described above are merely illustrative to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to be interpreted as limiting the present invention. It goes without saying that the present invention can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and that the present invention includes equivalents thereof. Furthermore, features shown in each embodiment can be applied to other embodiments as long as they do not contradict each other.

Further, the effects described in this specification are merely explanatory or illustrative, and are not limiting. In other words, the technology according to the present disclosure can have other effects that are obvious to those skilled in the art from the description of this specification, in addition to or in place of the above effects.
