In step S80, the terminal device 10 transmits an instruction to the server 20 to register the determined design in the design database 2022 based on the user's input.

In step S90, the server 20 registers the created design in the design database 2022. Specifically, the server 20 creates an identification number for the created design, associates the received design with the identification number, and registers it in the design database 2022.

Next, the flow of the design determination process in step S60 will be explained with reference to FIG. In step S61, the first determination module 2034 determines the design received from the user as the design for the first area.

In step S62, the determination module 2036 determines whether a design whose content in the first section matches the design created by the user has already been registered in the design database 2022. If it has already been registered (Yes in step S62), step S63 is performed. If it is not registered (No in step S62), step S68 is performed.

In step S63, the determination module 2036 determines whether the content in the second section matches the design created by the user and the design whose content in the first section matches the design. If they match (Yes in step S63), step S64 is performed. If they do not match (No in step S63), step S68 is performed.

In step S64, the determination module 2036 determines whether or not the content in the third section matches the design created by the user and the design whose contents in the first and second sections match. do. If they match (Yes in step S64), step S65 is performed. If they do not match (No in step S64), step S68 is performed.

In step S65, the determination module 2036 determines whether the content in the fourth section matches the design created by the user and the design in which the contents of the first to third sections all match. judge. If they match (Yes in step S65), step S66 is performed. If they do not match (No in step S65), step S68 is performed.

In step S66, the determination module 2036 compares the design created by the user with a design in which the contents of the first to fourth sections all match, and detects a difference between the two designs. The difference can be detected, for example, by applying existing image analysis techniques such as feature point matching to image data of both designs. If the difference is smaller than the predetermined threshold (Yes in step S66), step S67 is performed. If the difference is larger than the predetermined threshold (No in step S66), step S68 is performed.

In step S67, the second determination module 2035 determines that the design created by the user is different from the second region of the design in which the difference from the design created by the user in step S66 is determined to be smaller than a predetermined threshold. The design of the second area to be added to the created design is determined. Specifically, the second determination module 2035 determines the pattern, color, and coloring position of the second area according to the design of the first area created by the user.

In step S68, the second determination module 2035 determines the second region of the selected design to be the second region of the design created by the user.

This makes it clear that the first area 52a was created by the user, and it becomes possible to protect the rarity of a design with high rarity value created as a benefit for a tournament or the like.

<Modification 4>
Further, the contents of the design determination process (S60) are not limited to the above embodiment.

FIG. 21 shows the flow of design determination processing (S60) as a modified example. In the example shown in FIG. 21, the determination module 2036 determines whether the change to the existing design is less than a predetermined degree of change based on information about the history of changes. Information about the change history (hereinafter referred to as change history) is stored in a predetermined database (hereinafter referred to as change history database) in the storage unit 202 of the server 20 in the step (S50) in which the terminal device 10 transmits the change details. be remembered.

In step S61 of FIG. 21, the first determination module 2034 determines a first region. In step S62, the determination module 2036 determines, regarding the change content sent from the terminal device 10, whether the content used in the section to be changed is the same as before the change. If the same content is being used (Yes in step S162), step S163 is performed. If different content is being used (No in step S162), step S68 is performed.

In step S163, the determination module 2036 refers to the change history database and determines whether the difference between the change content and the change history is smaller than a threshold value. Specifically, the determination module 2036 determines that the difference between the change content and the change history is predetermined for geometric changes such as movement, rotation, enlargement, and reduction of the content in the section to be changed in the first area. Determine whether it is smaller than a threshold value. If the difference is smaller than the threshold (Yes in step S163), step S67 is performed. If the difference is larger than the threshold (No in step S163), step S68 is performed. Such processing also makes it possible to achieve the same effect as in the above embodiment.

In this way, in the step of accepting the design in the first area 52a (S50), a change to the existing design is accepted, and in the step of determining the content of the second area (S60), the received change is determined to be a predetermined degree of change. If the received change is smaller than a predetermined degree of change, the content of the second area 52b of the card sleeve whose design in the first area 52a has been changed is changed to the card with the existing design. The contents of the second area of the sleeve are determined to be different. As a result, if a small change is made to the first area 52a, the design of the second area will be changed, and users may make small changes to the first area of some cards and use them for fraudulent activities. can be prevented.

<6 Other embodiments>
Although the embodiments of the present invention and their modifications have been described above, the application of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned contents.

For example, in the step of determining the content of the second area, the second determination module 2035 may receive a color specified by the user, and determine the color of the second area by referring to the received color. Specifically, the second determination module 2035 receives the color of the second area (red, green, blue, etc.) from the user, and adjusts the pattern or color of the second area to match the color. It may also be a specification that determines the position to be attached. This makes it possible to create a second area with a color matching the design of the first area, making it possible to create a card sleeve with a design that more closely meets the user's needs.

Further, for example, the first region and the second region may be formed on both sides of the film. In this case, the first and second regions of one of the films are preferably formed so that the design of the stored trading card can be visually recognized.

Further, in the above embodiment, the second region is formed at the peripheral edge of the card sleeve 50, but the second region is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the second region may be set at a part of the peripheral edge of the card sleeve 50, or the second region may be set at a location other than the peripheral edge of the card sleeve 50.

Further, in the above embodiment, the first region has four sections, but the present invention is not limited to this aspect. For example, the first region may have two sections, or may have only one section.

Further, in the above embodiment, the second area is changed when the difference between the design of the first area created by the user and the already registered design is other than a predetermined threshold value, but the specification is limited to this aspect. It never happens. For example, it may be possible to display an error message so as not to accept a design in the first area that has a small difference from an already registered design, thereby prompting a user to change the design.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the user creates the design of the first area using content registered in advance in the content database 2023, but the invention is not limited to this mode. For example, the specification may be such that data of illustrations created by the user can be newly registered in the content database 2023.

Further, in the above embodiment, a case is described in which an existing design is changed, but the present invention is not limited to this mode, and a new design can also be created. For example, when the user presses the design creation button 72 on the creation method selection screen 70 shown in FIG. 11, the server 20 displays the design creation screen 100. The first determination module 2034 receives input from the user on the design creation screen 100, and determines the received design as the design for the first area.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the system 1 provides a service for creating a card sleeve design, but the system 1 is not limited to this aspect. For example, the system 1 may further provide a service for accepting orders for card sleeves. In this case, the user may be able to select and order a card sleeve design that he/she already owns. In this way, if a part of the card sleeve becomes damaged or worn out, it is possible to order and obtain a card sleeve with the same design.

Further, in the above embodiment, the terminal device 10 has been described as a terminal realized by a smartphone or the like, but the terminal device 10 is not limited to this example. The terminal device 10 may be realized by installing software on a home PC or the like, and may be configured to accept operations using a mouse or the like.

Furthermore, sharing of specified information via a communication line is mainly performed via a WAN such as the Internet, but between information processing devices, short-distance wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used instead of via a WAN. Alternatively, the communication may be performed only through infrared communication or the like.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example of a mode in which each function is provided in the terminal device 10 or the server 20 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this mode, and some or all functions may be provided in a mode different from the above embodiment. The configuration may be provided in the terminal device 10, the server 20, or both the terminal device 10 and the server 20.

Further, in the above embodiment, the steps described as being executed by the terminal device 10 may be executed by the server 20, and the steps described as being executed by the server 20 may be executed by the server 20. Good too.

Furthermore, the present invention may be realized as a program that causes an information processing device to execute the functions provided in the terminal device 10 or the server 20 described above, or as a computer-readable non-temporary recording medium that stores the program. It may be realized.

Although several embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, these embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. It can be performed. These embodiments and their modifications are included within the scope and gist of the invention as well as within the scope of the invention described in the claims and its equivalents.
