  • a game server determines whether the sleep pattern of a user's sleep information continuously meets a reference sleep pattern for a predetermined period of time or more based on the user's sleep history, and if it is determined that the sleep pattern based on the sleep history meets the reference sleep pattern for a predetermined period of time or more, generates a bonus event, which is different from a plus event, in a training game (see, for example, paragraph [0064] of Patent Document 1).
  • a user can obtain a bonus by sleeping continuously.
  • the user's sleep information is different from other information in that there is a limit to the number of times it can be obtained per day. Due to this characteristic, if the user is unable to sleep continuously and is therefore unable to obtain a bonus, this may cause the user a lot of stress. For this reason, it is preferable to encourage the user to sleep continuously, and to devise a way to reduce stress for the user even if they are unable to sleep continuously.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a game system, game method, game program, and game server that can encourage a user to sleep continuously and that makes it easy to continue playing a game even if the user is unable to sleep continuously.
  • the present invention provides a game system that executes a game using sleep information related to a user's sleep, the game system comprising: a goal setting unit that sets a sleep goal for the user based on an instruction from the user; a sleep information acquisition unit that acquires the sleep information; and an achievement determination unit that determines whether the sleep goal has been achieved based on the sleep information acquired by the sleep information acquisition unit, and, if the sleep goal has been achieved, associates goal achievement information indicating that the sleep goal has been achieved with the user, and the achievement determination unit reduces the number of achievements corresponding to the number of goal achievement information already associated with the user when a predetermined condition based on the user's operation is met.

  • the server 20 accepts the user's sleep information and progresses the game.
  • the game system 1 may be a server-client type game system.
  • the sleep measurement unit 11 may be a device separate and independent from the terminal device 10, or may be built into the terminal device 10.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example in which one terminal device 10 is connected to the server 20 via the communication network 80

  • game system 1 is a system that executes a game (sleep game) that uses sleep information related to the user's sleep.
  • Game system 1 allows the user to set a sleep goal before starting the game, and grants the user a specified bonus for each of the user achieving and continuing to achieve the sleep goal by sleeping.
  • game system 1 does not impose a penalty on the user if the user is unable to sleep continuously, that is, if the user fails to achieve the sleep goal, but can impose a load on the user that is unlikely to cause significant stress if the user changes the sleep goal.
  • the game system 1 manages the progress of the game by dividing it into a plurality of unit periods, and the unit periods are made up of a plurality of periods (hereinafter referred to as "confirmation periods"). That is, the game system 1 manages the time that progresses with the progress of the game by dividing it into predetermined unit periods including a plurality of confirmation periods.
  • the game system 1 may manage each unit period and/or each confirmation period independently. For example, the game system 1 manages the progress of the game by treating one day as one confirmation period and using seven confirmation periods, that is, a set of seven days (these seven days do not need to be consecutive), as a unit period.
  • the confirmation periods progress sequentially from the xth confirmation period to the x+1th confirmation period (where x is an integer of 1 or more) as the game progresses.
  • the game system 1 manages the progress of the game by sequentially progressing the confirmation periods, such as starting the second confirmation period after the first confirmation period, and starting the third confirmation period after the end of the second confirmation period.
  • the unit periods progress sequentially from the yth unit period to the y+1th unit period (where y is an integer of 1 or more) as the game progresses.
  • the game system 1 manages the progress of the game based on the unit periods, such as starting a second unit period after a first unit period, starting a third unit period after the second unit period ends, etc. In other words, the game system 1 manages the progress of the game in chronological order for each of the multiple confirmation periods and each of the multiple unit periods.
  • the game system 1 first accepts input from the user and sets the user's sleep goal (e.g., the time the user intends to go to bed). The game system 1 also acquires the user's sleep information for each confirmation period. The game system 1 then compares the user's sleep information with the sleep goal set by the user for each of the seven-day confirmation periods that make up the unit period to determine whether the sleep goal has been achieved. For days on which the sleep goal has been achieved, the game system 1 associates goal achievement information indicating that the sleep goal has been achieved for that day with the user and grants the user a predetermined benefit (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the "first benefit").
  • first benefit hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the "first benefit”.
  • the game system 1 does not associate goal achievement information with the user and does not grant the user the first benefit. In other words, if the user fails to achieve the sleep goal, the game system 1 does not grant the user the first benefit or the second benefit, but does not grant the user other penalties (e.g., penalties such as the disappearance or reduction of a certain item, character, and/or virtual currency in the game, or prohibition of game execution for a certain period of time).
  • the game system 1 also manages the number of goal achievement information associated with the user, that is, the number of times the user has achieved the sleep goal (hereinafter referred to as the "achievement count"), in association with the user.
  • the game system 1 may grant the user a benefit (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "second benefit") different from the first benefit, and may not grant the user the second benefit if the user fails to achieve the sleep goal for seven consecutive days in the unit period.
  • game system 1 by setting unit periods consisting of multiple confirmation periods, the flow of time in the game can be divided and the progress of the game can be managed. Therefore, even if there is a day when the user fails to achieve their sleep goal (a day that is not achieved), game system 1 can manage the next day when the sleep goal is achieved (the next day that is achieved) by connecting it to the day before the day that the sleep goal was not achieved (the previous day that is achieved) (in other words, even if there is one or more days that are not achieved between the previous day that is achieved and the next day that is achieved, the next day that is achieved can be managed by connecting it to the previous day that is achieved). As a result, game system 1 does not impose any penalty due to the user failing to achieve their sleep goal, so the user can continue playing the game without feeling stressed about not being able to achieve their sleep goal.
  • the game system 1 when the user changes the sleep goal, the game system 1 resets or decreases the number of goal achievement information already given to the user in the unit period including the confirmation period when the change was made, that is, the number of achievements.
  • the game system 1 may retain the goal achievement information associated with the user as information indicating that the goal was achieved in the past without resetting, erasing, and/or decreasing it, and may reset, erase, or decrease the number of achievements.
  • the game system 1 when the user changes the sleep goal at any timing within a certain unit period while the game is in progress, the game system 1 does not change the goal achievement information already associated with the user in that unit period, but resets, erases, or decreases the number of achievements, making it difficult to achieve the condition required for the grant of the second benefit (for example, the number of times that goal achievement information for a total of seven days is associated with the user, that is, the condition that the number of achievements is seven).
  • the game system 1 does not make any changes to the goal achievement information and the number of achievements in other unit periods other than the unit period.
  • the game system 1 does not give the user any disadvantages, such as erasing or decreasing, for the first and second benefits already granted to the user.
  • the game system 1 resets, erases, or decreases only the number of achievements that have already been associated with the user during that unit period.
  • the game system 1 prepares a stamp card associated with a user, which is switched and saved for each unit period.
  • the stamp card may be image data that can be output to the terminal device 10.
  • the stamp card is configured to include areas for multiple confirmation periods, and an area into which a stamp image corresponding to the number of times a sleep goal has been achieved is output when the sleep goal is achieved.
  • the stamp card includes seven areas arranged in chronological order, and has a format in which a stamp image can be output in each area.
  • the game system 1 judges whether the sleep goal has been achieved based on the sleep information acquired from the user in each confirmation period, and if the sleep goal has been achieved, associates goal achievement information with the user, increases the number of achievements by one, and outputs a stamp in a predetermined area of the stamp card corresponding to the confirmation period in which the sleep goal was achieved.
  • the user achieves the sleep goal for the first and second days of a certain unit period, but thinks that it is difficult to continue to maintain the sleep goal (i.e., bedtime).
  • the user changes the bedtime as a sleep goal to a different time.
  • the game system 1 maintains the goal achievement information associated with the user for the first and second days of the unit period, while resetting the number of achievements (in this case, two times), and erases the stamps for the first and second days that were output to the stamp card. However, the game system 1 retains the goal achievement information and the number of achievements for other unit periods (past unit periods) other than the unit period. Then, the game system 1 erases the stamp and continues the game.
  • the game system 1 when the user meets a predetermined condition, that is, when the user changes the sleep goal, only the stamps (i.e., only the number of achievements) within the unit period including the timing of the change are reset, so the user can continue playing the game without feeling excessive stress.

  • only the stamps i.e., only the number of achievements
  • the progress of the game is managed by dividing it into unit periods, and only when the user meets a predetermined condition within a certain unit period, a limited demerit is given to the user, and the benefits already given to the user are not erased.
  • the user can change the sleep goal, which improves the continuation rate of the game, while by giving a limited demerit to the user changing the sleep goal, it is possible to motivate the user to achieve the planned sleep goal without changing it in order to avoid the demerit.
  • the goal achievement information itself that has been achieved by the user once can be retained without being erased, so the user can check at any time how much of a goal he or she has achieved in the past.

  • the start mode is a mode in which the sleep information acquisition unit 204 starts acquiring sleep information, but does not actively notify the user of the start of acquisition of sleep information. That is, in the start mode, the operations of the sleep measurement unit 11 and the sleep information acquisition unit 204 are started. On the other hand, in the start mode, for example, the output unit 100 is not actively caused to output a notice that acquisition of sleep information has started, but useful information useful for the game is output to the output unit 100.
  • notifying (outputting) in an active manner means that, compared to the manner of notification in sleep mode, no notification is given that sleep information acquisition has started, or that the notification is given in a manner that is difficult for the user to perceive. For example, this means a manner in which no notification is given at all that sleep information acquisition has started, or, even if it is output, that notification is output in a manner that is less noticeable compared to sleep mode. Note that, in start mode, it is preferable not to notify the user at all that sleep information acquisition has started, from the viewpoint of ensuring a flow that allows the user to go to sleep after checking useful information.
  • the sleep mode is a mode in which measurement of the user's sleep information is continued and the fact that the sleep information is being measured is output. That is, the sleep mode is a mode in which the sleep information acquisition unit 204 is caused to acquire sleep information, the acquisition of sleep information is continued, and the user is notified of the acquisition of sleep information in a more proactive manner than in the start mode. That is, in the sleep mode, the operation of the sleep measurement unit 11 and the sleep information acquisition unit 204 is continued and the user is notified of the fact.

For example, in the sleep mode, the output unit 100 is caused to explicitly output the fact that the sleep information is being acquired. Note that, unlike the non-acquisition mode, in the sleep mode, a user's operation that changes a game parameter is prohibited.
  • the wake-up mode is a mode in which the sleep information acquisition unit 204 stops acquiring sleep information and outputs sleep information (e.g., sleep information such as bedtime, sleep duration, and sleep quality) and a game result (e.g., whether or not a sleep goal has been achieved, a bonus for achieving the sleep goal, changes in parameters in the game, and the result of acquiring an item, etc.) determined based on the user's sleep result indicated by the acquired sleep information. That is, in the wake-up mode, the operation of the sleep measurement unit 11 and/or the sleep information acquisition unit 204 is stopped. In the wake-up mode, a reward according to the game result is awarded to the user along with the output of the sleep result and the game result.
