<Hardware configuration of game system 1>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the game system 1. The game system 1 includes a plurality of user terminals 100 and a server 200 as illustrated. Each user terminal 100 is connected to the server 200 via the network 2. The network 2 includes various mobile communication systems constructed by the Internet and a radio base station (not shown). Examples of the mobile communication system include a so-called 3G and 4G mobile communication system, LTE (Long Term Evolution), and a wireless network (for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark)) that can be connected to the Internet through a predetermined access point. .

The server 200 (computer, information processing apparatus) may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer. The server 200 includes a processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, a communication IF 23, and an input / output IF 24. These components included in the server 200 are electrically connected to each other via a communication bus.

The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing apparatus) may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for game play. As illustrated, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit), a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor 18. With. These components included in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other via a communication bus. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be able to communicate with one or more controllers 1020. For example, the controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 in accordance with a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons and the like, and transmits an output value based on a user input operation to the buttons and the like to the user terminal 100. The controller 1020 may include various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and transmits output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

Note that the controller 1020 may include the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 instead of or in addition to the user terminal 100 including the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

The user terminal 100 desirably allows a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as the user's name or login ID via the controller 1020 at the start of the game, for example. As a result, the user terminal 100 can associate the controller 1020 with the user, and identifies which user the output value belongs to based on the transmission source (controller 1020) of the received output value. be able to.

When the user terminal 100 communicates with a plurality of controllers 1020, each user grasps each controller 1020, so that the one user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2. Multi-play can be realized. In addition, each user terminal 100 is connected to each other by a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (communication connection is not performed via the server 200), so that a plurality of user terminals 100 can perform multiplayer locally. You can also When the above-described multiplay is realized locally by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions described later included in the server 200. Further, when the above-described multi-play is realized locally by a plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions described later included in the server 200 in a distributed manner.

Note that the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 even when the above-described multiplayer is realized locally. For example, information indicating a play result such as a result or win / loss in a certain game may be associated with the user identification information and transmitted to the server 200.

Further, the controller 1020 may be configured to be detachable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a coupling portion with the controller 1020 may be provided on at least one surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are coupled by wire through the coupling unit, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 transmit and receive signals via the wire.

As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may accept attachment of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input / output IF 14. Accordingly, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded in the storage medium 1030. The program recorded in the storage medium 1030 is a game program, for example.

The user terminal 100 may store the game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as the server 200 in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100, or store the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 in the memory 11. May be stored.

As described above, the user terminal 100 includes the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, the touch screen 15, the camera 17, and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. Each of the above-described units serving as an input mechanism can be regarded as an operation unit configured to accept a user input operation.

For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100, and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, a user's hand as an object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and an input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. The More specifically, when a user's hand is detected from a captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 performs a user's input operation on a gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image. Identify and accept as Note that the captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts a user operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as a user input operation. Or when an operation part is comprised by communication IF13, the user terminal 100 specifies and receives the signal (for example, output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as a user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the input / output IF 14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input / output IF 14 is specified and accepted as a user input operation.

<Game overview>
A game based on the game system 1 is a game in which a character operated by a user executes an action in response to the user's operation. Hereinafter, the character operated by the user is referred to as an operation character. Specifically, the game based on the game system 1 is a game that allows the operation character to execute a continuous action in response to a continuous operation on the touch screen 15 by the user. An example of such a game is an action game in which a combo action is executed when an operation character battles an enemy character. Moreover, RPG (Role-Playing Game) including such an action game is mentioned. In addition, such an RPG may be, for example, a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) in which a plurality of users simultaneously participate in one game space via their own user terminals. Such an MMORPG may be an open world game in which an operation character can freely move in a virtual game space, for example. However, the game based on the game system 1 is not limited to these illustrated types of games.

<Hardware components of each device>
The processor 10 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the operation of the entire server 200. The processors 10 and 20 include a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), and a graphics processing unit (GPU).

The processor 10 reads a program from the storage 12 described later and expands it in the memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later and develops it in a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the developed program.

The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 include storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read from the storage 12 described later by the processor 10. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to the program. The memory 21 provides the work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read from the storage 22 described later by the processor 20. The memory 21 temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to the program.

In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. The various data includes data related to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions and notifications transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between the plurality of user terminals 100.

Storage 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data relating to the game is stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

The communication IF 13 controls transmission / reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission / reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, communication via a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), Internet communication via a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, or a mobile phone network, and short-range wireless communication.

The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to accept data input, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The input / output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to accept data input, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component in which an input unit 151 and a display unit 152 are combined. The input unit 151 is a touch-sensitive device, for example, and is configured by a touch pad, for example. The display unit 152 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

The input unit 151 detects a position where a user operation (physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input to the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. A function of transmitting as a signal is provided. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method.

Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, when the user terminal 100 is held in the portrait orientation, the processor 10 may perform a portrait screen display in which a portrait image is displayed on the display unit 152. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held sideways, a horizontal screen display in which a horizontally long image is displayed on the display unit may be used. As described above, the processor 10 may be able to switch between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and generates a captured image by converting incident light incident from the lens into an electric signal.

The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object based on the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated when the light emitted from the light source is reflected by the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may include a light source that emits light having directivity.

Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives a detection result of detecting an object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as a user input operation will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100, for example. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with an illumination device that emits infrared light, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. Thereby, it is possible to further improve the detection accuracy of the object based on the captured image of the camera 17 regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

The processor 10 may perform, for example, one or more of the following processes (1) to (5) on the image captured by the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to identify whether the captured image includes a user's hand. The processor 10 may use a technique such as pattern matching as an analysis technique employed in the above-described image recognition processing. (2) Moreover, the processor 10 detects a user's gesture from the shape of a user's hand. For example, the processor 10 specifies the number of the user's fingers (the number of fingers extending) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture performed by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is five, the processor 10 determines that the user has performed a “par” gesture. In addition, when the number of fingers is 0 (no finger is detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “goo” gesture. On the other hand, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has performed a “choke” gesture. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the image captured by the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in the state where only the index finger is raised or whether the user's finger has moved. . (4) The processor 10 determines an object 1010 (such as a user's hand) in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand specified from the captured image of the camera 17. It is detected whether the distance is above. When the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is determined that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand has changed while the user's hand is detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, the processor 10 recognizes that the user is shaking his / her hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is not detected in the distance measuring sensor 18 having higher directivity than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 indicates that the user is shaking his / her hand in a direction perpendicular to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

In this manner, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is grasping his / her hand by image recognition on the captured image of the camera 17 (“Goo” gesture or other gesture (eg “Par”)). ) Is detected. The processor 10 also detects how the user is moving the hand along with the shape of the user's hand. In addition, the processor 10 detects whether the user is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel. For example, the user terminal 100 moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 according to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture “goo”. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. Continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining a state where the mouse is clicked and pressed, or maintaining a touched state after a touchdown operation is performed on the touch panel. Further, when the user further moves his / her hand while the user's gesture “go” is detected, the user terminal 100 performs such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or drag operation). It can also be recognized. In addition, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that the user repels a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand based on the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 clicks the gesture or taps the touch panel. You may recognize as operation corresponding to.

<First form>
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the user terminal 100. A functional configuration of the user terminal 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The user terminal 100 can function as the control unit 110 and the storage unit 120 through the cooperation of the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, and the like. The game program stored in the storage unit 120 is developed on the main memory and executed by the control unit 110. The control unit 110 can function as the input operation receiving unit 111, the camera arrangement control unit 112, the display control unit 113, and the object control unit 114 according to the game program. In the main memory, various game data generated while the control unit 110 is operating according to the program and various game data used by the control unit 110 are also temporarily stored. The storage unit 120 stores data necessary for the control unit 110 to function as each unit. Examples of the data include game programs, game information, and user information. The game information includes an object management table, a skill management table, reference motion data 121, combo data 122, a history information table (described later), and a user management table. The object management table is a table for managing various game objects. The skill management table is a table for managing various skills of game characters. The reference motion data 121 is a table for defining the motion of each game character. The combo data 122 is a table for managing the contents (for example, attack power, motion, etc.) of the attacking action that is performed by the character by the combo generated under a predetermined condition. The history information table is a table including a plurality of pieces of information indicating contact positions detected by the input unit 151. The user management table is a table including a history of actions executed by the game character.

The control unit 110 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100, and performs data transmission / reception between elements, arithmetic processing necessary for game execution, and other processing. For example, the control unit 110 develops a game according to the game program based on the input operation detected by the input operation reception unit 111, and draws a game image indicating the result. The control unit 110 operates an object in the game space based on the user information received from the game server 200, the calculation result of the game program, and the input operation detected by the input operation receiving unit 111. Examples of the object include a character object (game character) and a target object (other object). A character object is an object to be operated by a user in a game. The target object is a target object on which the character object acts. In addition, the control unit 110 generates a captured image of a virtual camera that captures the game space. Further, the control unit 110 performs processing such as updating various data stored in the storage unit 120 based on the input operation on the touch screen 15 and the result of the arithmetic processing. In addition, the control unit 110 refers to various user information and game information stored in the storage unit 120 and executes various determinations necessary for the game progress.

The input operation reception unit 111 detects the type of user input operation on the input unit 151. The input operation reception unit 111 determines what operation has been performed from an operation instruction or the like by the console via the input unit 151 and other input / output IFs 14. The input operation reception unit 111 outputs the determined result to necessary elements such as the camera arrangement control unit 112. Examples of the types of input operations that are determined by the input operation receiving unit 111 include a first input operation and a second input operation. The first input operation is an operation input by moving the touch position on the touch screen 15 from a certain position (first position) to a certain position (second position). Examples of the first input operation include a flick operation and a swipe operation. For example, the input operation receiving unit 111 moves an operation input by releasing the contact after moving the user from the first position to the touch screen 15 to a certain position in a time shorter than a predetermined time. "Flick operation". The input operation reception unit 111 moves the touch position on the touch screen 15 from a certain position (third position) to a certain position (fourth position), and then moves the touch position. The operation (third input operation) input by maintaining the above may be a “swipe operation”. The second input operation is an operation that is input without changing the touch position on the touch screen 15. An example of the second input operation is a tap operation.

The input operation accepting unit 111 determines that the state is the “touch-on state” when the contact is detected from the state where the contact of the object with the touch screen 15 is not detected. In addition, the input operation reception unit 111 determines that the “touch-off state” has occurred when the contact of the object with the touch screen 15 is not detected. Further, the input operation accepting unit 111 sequentially accepts history information indicating a touch position on the touch screen 15 as history information of the “touch now state”.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a history information table referred to by the input operation receiving unit 111 in order to detect the type of input operation. An example of a method for the input operation receiving unit 111 to determine the type of input operation will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, history information indicating the position on the touch screen 15 detected by the input unit 151 is stored in each of the 11 arrays from array fp [0] to array fp [10]. The history information is stored in the history information table every predetermined period (for example, every frame rate). The number of arrays in which history information is stored is not limited and may be any number. In the history information table, it is preferable that history information detected when touch-on is performed from touch-off is configured in the storage unit 120 as initial position coordinates.

In the table of FIG. 3, for example, when the history information (x0, y0) is stored in the array fp [0] to the array fp [9] and the null value is stored in the array fp [10], an input operation is performed. The accepting unit 111 determines that the input operation is a tap operation. For example, when the null value is stored after the history information has changed in the touch now state, the input operation reception unit 111 sets the array fp [3] and the array fp immediately before the array fp [5] in which the null value is stored. Refer to the history information stored in [4]. Then, the input operation reception unit 111 determines that the input operation is a flick operation when the distance between the positions indicated by the history information of the arrays fp [3] and fp [4] is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value. Determine. Further, after the history information changes in the touch now state, for example, when the history information (x15, y15) is stored in the arrays fp [4] to fp [10], the input operation accepting unit 111 performs the swipe operation. Determine that there is.

The camera arrangement control unit 112 controls the arrangement of virtual cameras that shoot the game space. The camera arrangement control unit 112 is a virtual camera for designating the visual field of the game space based on the user information stored in the storage unit 120, the calculation result of the game program, and the type of operation detected by the input operation receiving unit 111 Control the placement of The camera arrangement control unit 112 preferably has a configuration in which a virtual camera is arranged so that a character object is displayed near the center. The camera arrangement control unit 112 outputs the captured image of the virtual camera to the display control unit 113.

The display control unit 113 displays the captured image of the virtual camera on the display unit 152. Further, the display control unit 113 causes the display unit 152 to display the object in accordance with an instruction from the object control unit 114.

The object control unit 114 controls objects such as a character object and a target object based on an input operation by a user and / or a game program. For example, the object control unit 114 performs control for moving the character object, control for causing the character object to perform an action for acting on the target object, and the like. Further, the object control unit 114 instructs the display control unit 113 to display an object according to the input operation received by the input operation receiving unit 111 on the display unit 152.

<Examples of Game System Processing>
Next, a game in which the user terminal 100 causes the character C (character object) to execute various actions in accordance with an input operation from the user will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is an example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the game system 1. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of a game space image displayed on the touch screen 15 by the display control unit 113. As an action to be executed by the character C, for example, an action for acting on a target object, an action for moving, and the like can be mentioned. Examples of the action include an attack. As an action for exerting an action on the target object, for example, an attack action can be cited. Examples of the target object include an enemy character object that performs an attacking action on the character C, and an obstacle object such as a door O shown in FIG. Moreover, the movement is an action for changing the position of the character C in the game space. Examples of the action for moving include walking, running, and avoiding action for avoiding attacking action by other objects or other objects.

In step S101, when the input operation receiving unit 111 receives an operation to start the game, the control unit 110 starts the game. Next, the camera arrangement control unit 112 controls the arrangement of virtual cameras in the game space with reference to game information and the like. In step S <b> 102, the display control unit 113 displays the game space image captured by the virtual camera on the touch screen 15.

In step S103, the input operation reception unit 111 determines whether an input operation on the touch screen 15 has been received. If NO in step S103, the input operation accepting unit 111 repeats the process in step S103.

If YES in step S103, in step S104, the input operation accepting unit 111 determines whether or not the input operation accepted in step S103 is the first input operation. Hereinafter, a case where the first input operation is a flick operation will be described. In the image shown in FIG. 5, the first position is the position L1, and the second position is the position L2. When the input operation reception unit 111 receives a flick operation on the touch screen 15, the input operation reception unit 111 specifies the direction of the touch operation determined by the position L1 and the position L2.

If YES in step S104, the display control unit 113 displays an object indicating the direction of the touch operation on the touch screen 15 in step S105. For example, the display control unit 113 may be configured to display an object or the like extending from the position L1 to the position L2 on the touch screen 15, as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, first, when the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts a touch-on at the position L1, the display control unit 113 displays the elastic object E1 centered on the position L1 on the touch screen 15. Next, when the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts an operation of moving the touch position to the position L2 in the state of the touch now, the display control unit 113 deforms the elastic object E1 so as to extend in the direction of the touch operation. E2 is displayed on the touch screen 15.

In step S106, the object control unit 114 specifies the direction in which the character C is facing. For example, the storage unit 120 stores information indicating the direction in which the face of the character C is facing or the traveling direction of the last moving operation. The object control unit 114 selects which of the directions indicated by the information is the direction in which the character C is facing based on the action performed by the character C, the action from another object, and the like. Next, the object control unit 114 refers to the storage unit 120 based on the selected result and identifies the direction in which the character C is facing.

In step S107, the object control unit 114 compares the direction of the touch operation with the direction in which the character C is facing on the screen displayed on the touch screen 15.

In step S108, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an action corresponding to the comparison result in step S107. For example, if the direction of the touch operation is included in a certain range of directions determined by the direction in which the character C is facing, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an attack action. The direction of the certain range is not particularly limited, but the direction in which the character C faces may be set as the axis and the direction may be a certain range on the left and right from the axis (for example, within 30 degrees, 45 degrees, etc. on the left and right respectively).

In step S108, if the direction of the touch operation is not included in a certain range, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an avoidance operation that moves in the direction of the touch operation, and does not execute an attack operation. After step S108, the process returns to step S103.

If NO in step S104, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to execute an action corresponding to the input operation in step S109. For example, when the input operation is a tap operation, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an attack action. The attack action according to the tap operation is preferably different from the attack action executed by the character C in step S108. With this configuration, the character C can be made to perform various attack actions by various operations, so that the game preference is improved. After step S109, the process returns to step S103.

As described above, the object control unit 114 can divide actions such as causing the character C to perform an attacking action or an avoiding action depending on the direction in which the character C is facing and the direction of the touch operation. Since it can, the taste of the game is improved. In particular, it is possible to give diversity to the input operation for the attack target.

In addition, the display control unit 113 can visualize the direction of the touch operation by the process of step S105. Thereby, when the user wants the character C to perform an attacking action, the user can visually recognize both the direction in which the character C is facing and the direction of the touch operation. Therefore, the user can easily move the touch position in a desired direction while referring to the direction in which the character C is facing.

Also, the flick operation is an operation that the user inputs intuitively and quickly in a scene that requires a quick operation during the game. In the present embodiment, since the attack action or the avoidance action can be selected according to the direction of the flick operation, the attack and the avoidance can be selected intuitively. Therefore, the game preference is improved.

(Modification 1)
Although the case where the first input operation is a flick operation has been described above, the same processing may be performed when the first input operation is a swipe operation. That is, when the input operation reception unit 111 receives a swipe operation in a direction included in a certain range of directions, the object control unit 114 may cause the character C to perform an attack action. Further, when the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts a swipe operation in a direction outside a certain range, the object control unit 114 may cause the character C to perform a moving action.

(Modification 2)
When the input operation receiving unit 111 receives the first input operation, the control unit 110 changes the action to be performed by the character C depending on whether the first input operation is a flick operation or a swipe operation. May be.

For example, when the operation received by the input operation receiving unit 111 is a flick operation, the control unit 110 executes Step S105 to Step S108. On the other hand, when the operation accepted by the input operation accepting unit 111 is a swipe operation, the control unit 110 executes the following process instead of step S105 to step S108.

When the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts the swipe operation, the display control unit 113 displays an object indicating the direction of the touch operation determined by the third position and the fourth position in the swipe operation on the touch screen 15. For example, when the third position and the fourth position are the position L1 and the position L2 shown in FIG. 5, respectively, the display control unit 113 displays an elastic object similar to the elastic object E2 shown in FIG. To do.

Next, the object control unit 114 executes an action for moving the character C in the direction of the touch operation. For example, when the direction of the touch operation is the right direction, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an action for moving in the right direction. Since the swipe operation is an operation that keeps touching the touch screen 15 for a long time, it is more intuitive for the user to move the operation content and the response of the character C than the attack operation and the avoidance operation in which the character C operates quickly. Easy to recognize. Therefore, the game preference can be further improved.

Further, the object control unit 114 changes the direction in which the character C is facing to a direction determined based on the direction of the touch operation corresponding to the swipe operation. Thereby, the advancing direction in the last moving operation is the direction in which the character C is facing. It is considered that the user often recognizes that the traveling direction of the moving operation performed immediately before is the direction in which the character C is facing. For this reason, the direction in which the character C recognized by the user is facing and the direction in which the character C set by the object control unit 114 is facing match. Therefore, if the user performs an operation for making an attack or an operation for making another action based on the direction in which the character C is facing after the action for moving, an erroneous operation is performed. It can be made difficult to occur.

In this way, even if an input operation is input by moving from a certain position to a certain position, the action to be executed by the character C is changed depending on whether the operation is a flick operation or a swipe operation. Character C can be performed.

Further, since the display control unit 113 displays an object indicating the direction of the touch operation on the touch screen 15, the direction of the swipe operation can be visualized. Therefore, it is easy to move the character C in a desired direction. Therefore, usability can be improved.

(Modification 3)
When the input operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation a plurality of times within a predetermined period, the action that the object control unit 114 receives the current input operation and causes the character C to execute is at least a part of the previous input operation and It may be associated with the current input operation. That is, the object control unit 114 may cause the character C to perform a so-called combo attack operation. For example, when the input operation reception unit 111 receives an input operation in the order of a tap operation and a flick operation within a predetermined period, the action that the object control unit 114 causes the character C to execute in response to the flick operation is the tap operation last time. And an action based on the fact that this time is a flick operation.

FIG. 6 is another example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the game system 1. The processes in steps S101 to S107 and step S109 are the same as those described above, and thus description thereof will not be repeated.

After executing step S107, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an action according to the comparison result. First, in step S201, the object control unit 114 determines whether the direction of the touch operation is included in a certain range of directions determined by the direction in which the character C is facing.

In the case of YES in step S201, in step S202, the object control unit 114 determines whether or not a tap operation for performing an attack operation has been received within a certain period before the flick operation is received in step S103.

In the case of YES in step S202, in step S203, the object control unit 114 performs an attack action based on the fact that the operation corresponding to the previous attack action is a tap operation and the current operation is a flick operation. To run. As described above, when the character C is continuously made to perform the attack action, the character C can be made to execute different attack actions instead of causing the character C to execute the same attack action every time. Therefore, the attacking action becomes diverse. After step S203, the process returns to step S103.

If NO in step S202, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an attack action based on the flick operation without referring to the combo data 122 in step S204. After step S204, the process returns to step S103.

Further, in the case of NO in step S201, in step S205, the object control unit 114 determines whether or not a tap operation has been received within a certain period before the flick operation received in step S103 is received.

If YES in step S205, in step S206, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to execute an avoidance action for moving in the direction of the touch operation without executing an attack action. Subsequently, in step S207, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an attack action. The attack action that the object control unit 114 causes the character C to execute in step S207 may be different from the attack action based on the tap operation. In this case, the attacking action by the character C becomes more diverse, and the game preference is improved. After step S207, the process returns to step S103.

In the case of NO in step S205, in step S208, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an avoidance action and not to perform an attack action. After step S208, the process returns to step S103.

As described above, the user can cause the character C to perform various actions according to the input operation before inputting the first input operation and the direction of the first input operation. improves.

Further, in the case of NO in step S104, in step S109, the input operation receiving unit 111 may determine whether or not the input operation received in step S103 is a tap operation. Furthermore, when the input operation reception unit 111 determines that the received input operation is a tap operation, it may further determine whether or not the tap operation has been received within a certain period before the tap operation is received. After step S109, the process returns to step S103.

Further, for example, after returning to step S103, the input operation reception unit 111 receives a flick operation within a certain period, and steps S202 and S203 are executed, so that a series of inputs such as a tap operation, a tap operation, and a flick operation are performed. A combo attack based on the operation is established. An action performed by the character C in this combo attack will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an action when the object control unit 114 causes the character to perform an attack action based on the combo data 122. The state (A) in FIG. 7 shows action a1. The state (B) of FIG. 7 shows action a2. The state (C) of FIG. 7 shows action a3. When the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts the tap operation, the object control unit 114 first causes the character C shown in the state (A) of FIG. 7 to execute the action a1. Subsequently, when the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts the tap operation again within a certain period, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to execute the action a2 shown in the state (B) of FIG. Subsequently, when the input operation receiving unit 111 receives a flick operation within a certain period, the object control unit 114 causes the character C to execute an action a3 shown in the state (C) of FIG. The action a3 may be set so that the production is more flashy than the actions a1 and a2, or the attack power is increased. Further, instead of the flick operation for the action a3, the tap operation is continued three times, so that the object control unit 114 causes the character C to perform an action in which other effects are flashy or the attack power is large. May be. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, even in a game in which the character C performs a combo attack by a touch operation using the touch screen 15, the flow of the combo can be branched.

Thus, since the user can cause the character C to attack one after another by various operations, the game preference is improved.

Further, when the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 ends, the control unit 110 returns to the process of step S103. With this configuration, when the input operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation a plurality of times within a predetermined period, the object control unit 114 can cause the character C to execute a combo for the third and subsequent input operations. it can.

Further, the control unit 110 may execute the processes after step S103 in parallel in the action execution period after the character C starts the action of attack action and before the action is ended. For example, when the input operation reception unit 111 receives a flick operation during at least a part of the period in which the object control unit 114 executes step S203, the control unit 110 executes the processing after step S103. Then, the control unit 110 refers to the combo data 122 and causes the storage unit 120 to store an action corresponding to the flick operation. After completing the process of step S203, the object control unit 114 reads the action from the storage unit 120 and causes the character C to execute it. Even with this configuration, the object control unit 114 can cause the character C to perform a combo. Further, the control unit 110 may display the number of combos on the touch screen 15 by causing the character C to perform combos. The control unit 110 may count up the number of times that the character C continuously executes the action each time the action is performed, and display the count value as the number of combos on the touch screen 15.

<Second form>
FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing functional configurations of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 included in the game system 1. The functional configuration required when the server 200 and the user terminal 100 each function as a general computer and the functional configuration necessary for realizing known functions in the game are omitted as appropriate. is doing.

The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device that receives user input operations and a function as an output device that outputs game images and sounds. The user terminal 100 functions as the control unit 110 and the storage unit 120 through cooperation of the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, and the like.

The server 200 communicates with each user terminal 100 and has a function of supporting the user terminal 100 to advance the game. For example, sales of valuable data and provision of services are executed. When the game is a multiplayer game, the server 200 may have a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 participating in the game and mediating exchanges between the user terminals 100. The server 200 functions as the control unit 210 and the storage unit 220 through the cooperation of the processor 20, the memory 21, the storage 22, the communication IF 23, the input / output IF 24, and the like.

The storage unit 120-1 and the storage unit 220 store a game program 131, game information 132, and user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program that is executed by the user terminal 100 and the server 200.

The game information 132 is data referred to when the control unit 110-1 and the control unit 210 execute the game program 131. The game information 132 is information common to a plurality of users, for example, (1) information for defining the game space, (2) basic parameters for each character, (3) basic parameters for each action, ( 4) It may include initial information, recommended information, and the like to be presented on an editing screen described later. The game space is a space where operation characters and various objects related to the game are arranged. In addition, the game information 132 may include information related to various events performed in the game space.

User information 133 is data related to the user's account. For example, the user information 133 is associated with an identifier of the user's account, (1) information indicating the user of the account, (2) information regarding the retained character held by the account, and (3) an action for which each retained character has been acquired. (4) information indicating the progress of the game of the account, (5) information regarding assets held by the account, and the like. Examples of the account assets include virtual currency, items, and equipment in the game. In addition, the user information 133 includes various information managed for each account.

In the storage unit 220, user information 133 is stored for each user terminal 100.

(Functional configuration of server 200)
The control unit 210 performs overall control of the server 200 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 220. For example, the control unit 210 transmits various data and programs to the user terminal 100. The control unit 210 receives part or all of the game information or user information from the user terminal 100. When the game is a multiplayer game, the control unit 210 may receive a multiplayer synchronization request from the user terminal 100 and transmit data for synchronization to the user terminal 100. In addition, the control unit 210 has various functions according to the nature of the game to be executed in order to support the progress of the game on the user terminal 100.

(Functional configuration of user terminal 100)
The control unit 110-1 performs overall control of the user terminal 100 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 120-1. For example, the control unit 110-1 advances the game according to the game program 131 and the user's operation. In addition, the control unit 110-1 communicates with the server 200 and transmits / receives information as necessary while the game is in progress.

In accordance with the description of the game program 131, the control unit 110-1 includes an operation reception unit 111-1, a display control unit 112-1, a user interface (hereinafter referred to as UI) control unit 113-1, an animation generation unit 114-1, It functions as a game execution unit 115, a camera arrangement control unit 116, an edit screen generation unit 117, and a continuous operation determination unit 118. The control unit 110-1 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to advance the game according to the nature of the game to be executed.

The operation accepting unit 111-1 detects and accepts a user input operation on the input unit 151. The operation accepting unit 111-1 determines what input operation has been performed from the action exerted by the user on the console via the touch screen 15 and other input / output IF 14, and the result is determined by the control unit 110-1. Output to each element.

For example, the operation receiving unit 111-1 receives an input operation on the input unit 151, detects the coordinates of the input position of the input operation, and identifies the type of the input operation. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the input operation is an operation on the touch screen 15. The operation reception unit 111-1 identifies, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, and the like as the types of operations on the touch screen 15. Further, the operation receiving unit 111-1 detects that the touch input is canceled from the touch screen 15 when the input that has been continuously detected is interrupted. In the present embodiment, details of the types of operations specified by the operation reception unit 111-1 will be described later.

The UI control unit 113-1 controls UI objects to be displayed on the display unit 152 in order to construct a UI. The UI object is a tool for the user to make an input necessary for the progress of the game to the user terminal 100 or a tool for obtaining information output during the progress of the game from the user terminal 100. The UI object is not limited to this, but is, for example, an icon, a button, a list, a menu screen, or the like.

The game execution unit 115 advances the game by causing an operation character existing in the game space to execute an action based on the user's operation. In the present embodiment, the game progresses when the operation character battles with the enemy character. It is assumed that the operation character executes an action in a battle with the enemy character to reduce the physical strength of the enemy character, and wins the battle when the physical strength of the enemy character is lost. The content of the action to be executed by the operation character is determined by the continuous operation determination unit 118 described later. Examples of the action type include, but are not limited to, an action that acts on an enemy character, a movement of the operation character itself, a summoning of other possessed characters to the game space, and the like. Moreover, examples of the action that acts on the enemy character include, but are not limited to, an attack on the enemy character and an action that changes the attribute of the enemy character. Examples of the attack on the enemy character include a technique of blowing the enemy character for a predetermined distance and a technique of making the player character move for a predetermined period of time, but are not limited thereto. Further, examples of the attribute of the enemy character to be changed include, but are not limited to, attack power, defense power, accuracy, moving speed, and the like.

Also, the game execution unit 115 notifies the determined action to the animation generation unit 114-1, which will be described later. In addition, when the operation character moves, the game execution unit 115 notifies the later-described camera arrangement control unit 116 of the position or direction when there is a change in the position or direction of the operation character in the game space.

In addition, the game execution unit 115 executes various processes for advancing the game while communicating with the server 200 as necessary.

The camera arrangement control unit 116 defines a virtual camera for designating an area to be presented to the user in the game space. The camera placement control unit 116 virtually places the virtual camera in the game space by defining the position and orientation of the virtual camera in the game space. Furthermore, the camera arrangement control unit 116 instructs the display control unit 112-1 described later to create an image in which a field of view defined by the virtual camera and an object arranged in the field of view are drawn.

Specifically, for example, the camera arrangement control unit 116 may arrange the virtual camera behind the operation character based on the position of the operation character notified from the game execution unit 115. In this case, the camera arrangement control unit 116 causes the orientation of the virtual camera to be the direction in which the operation character notified from the game execution unit 115 is facing. By controlling the virtual camera in this way, the user can face the game space from the viewpoint of the operating character while moving the operating character. However, the control of the placement and orientation of the virtual camera is not necessarily the control described above.

The edit screen generation unit 117 generates an edit screen for associating actions corresponding to the order in the operation sequence of the operations with respect to each operation included in the operation sequence including the continuous operations. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that one operation sequence is a sequence of continuous operations of the same type. Hereinafter, information in which an action corresponding to an order is associated with each operation included in the operation sequence is also referred to as operation sequence information. In addition, associating an action corresponding to an order with each operation is also referred to as editing operation sequence information. Details of the edit screen generation unit 117 will be described later.

The continuous operation determination unit 118 determines whether or not the operation on the touch screen 15 is continued from the previous operation. In addition, when the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines that the current operation is continued from the previous operation, the action to be executed by the operation character is determined according to the current operation by referring to the operation sequence information. To do. Details of the continuous operation determination unit 118 will be described later.

The animation generation unit 114-1 generates an animation indicating the motion of various objects based on the control mode of the various objects. For example, the animation generation unit 114-1 generates an animation that expresses how the operating character performs an action. If the action is an attack on an enemy character, the animation generation unit 114-1 performs an animation that represents the preparatory motion of the operation character before the attack, an animation that represents the attack motion, and an animation that represents the return motion after the attack. Generate. In addition, for example, the animation generation unit 114-1 generates an animation representing a state in which the enemy character is acted upon by the action of the operation character (a beat motion).

The display control unit 112-1 outputs a game screen reflecting the processing results executed by the above-described elements to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15. For example, the display control unit 112-1 generates a game screen in which a field of view of the virtual camera defined by the camera placement control unit 116 and objects existing in the region are drawn in the game space. Further, the display control unit 112-1 outputs a game screen including the animation generated by the animation generation unit 114-1. In addition, the display control unit 112-1 may draw the UI object described above by superimposing it on the game screen.

Note that the functions of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 8 are merely examples. The server 200 may include at least a part of functions included in the user terminal 100. Further, the user terminal 100 may include at least a part of the functions included in the server 200. Furthermore, a device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be used as a component of the game system 1, and the other device may be caused to execute part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game program in the present embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices, or may be realized by a combination of these devices.

(Type of operation)
Details of the types of operations specified by the operation receiving unit 111-1 will be described. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the operation types include a tap operation, an upper flick operation, a lower flick operation, a left / right flick operation, and a rotation operation. A known method can be applied to the tap operation detection method.

Here, first, a detection method of an upper flick operation, a lower flick operation, and a left / right flick operation will be described. Each of these operations is detected based on the direction of the flick operation. As a detection method of the flick operation itself, a known method can be applied. Here, the up, down, left and right directions can be arbitrarily determined on the display unit 152. For example, the direction in which the character is facing in the game space displayed on the display unit 152 (that is, the direction in which the virtual camera is facing) may be the upward direction. In this case, by defining the upward direction, the opposite direction of the upward direction can be defined as the downward direction. Further, a direction obtained by rotating the upward direction 90 degrees to the left (or right) can be determined as the left (or right) direction.

In this case, the operation receiving unit 111-1 detects the flick operation as an upper flick operation when the direction of the flick operation is included in a range of a predetermined angle with respect to the upper direction. Thereby, a flick operation in the direction in which the operation character is facing is detected as an upper flick operation. Further, the operation reception unit 111-1 detects a flick operation as a lower flick operation when the direction of the flick operation is included in a range of a predetermined angle with respect to the lower direction. Thereby, the flick operation toward the back of the operation character is detected as the lower flick operation. Further, the operation reception unit 111-1 detects a flick operation as a left / right flick operation when the direction of the flick operation is included in a predetermined angle range with respect to the left (or right) direction. As a result, the flick operation toward the horizontal direction of the operation character is detected as a left / right flick operation.

Next, a rotation operation detection method will be described. The rotation operation is an operation in which the locus of the contact position (that is, the touch position) of the object 1010 in the drag operation becomes a ring shape or a substantially ring shape. The ring drawn by the locus of the rotation operation does not have to be closed. In addition, the start position and the end position of the drag operation in the rotation operation do not have to match.

An example of a rotation operation detection method will be described. For example, the rotation operation can be specified by detecting a change in the vector component of the drag operation during a predetermined period. Specifically, if the drag operation continues for a predetermined period after detecting the contact of the object 1010 with the input unit 151, the operation receiving unit 111-1 detects a change in the vector component in the operation direction. The change in the vector component in the operation direction will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a change in the vector component in the operation direction in the rotation operation. Here, the operation direction is represented by a set of an x component along the x axis and a y component along the y axis when an arbitrary orthogonal coordinate system is defined on the plane of the touch screen 15. The positive x component is described as “x axis positive direction”. The negative x component is described as “x-axis negative direction”. The positive y component is referred to as “y-axis positive direction”. Further, the negative y component is described as “y-axis negative direction”.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, during a predetermined period, the vector component in the operation direction is (1) (x-axis negative direction, y-axis positive direction), (2) (x-axis positive direction, y-axis (Positive direction), (3) (x-axis positive direction, y-axis negative direction), (4) (x-axis negative direction, y-axis negative direction). In this case, the operation reception unit 111-1 determines that a rotation operation has been detected. The rotation operation in this case is a clockwise operation. Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 9B, during a predetermined period, the vector component in the operation direction is (1) (x-axis positive direction, y-axis positive direction), (2) (x-axis negative direction, The y-axis positive direction), (3) (x-axis negative direction, y-axis negative direction), and (4) (x-axis positive direction, y-axis negative direction) are assumed to change in this order. In this case, the operation reception unit 111-1 determines that a rotation operation has been detected. In this case, the rotation operation is a counterclockwise operation. As described above, the operation accepting unit 111-1 may store a vector component change pattern representing a rotation operation in advance and determine that the rotation operation has been detected when a corresponding pattern is detected. Note that the corresponding change pattern is not limited to the above-described example. Further, the detection method of the rotation operation is not limited to the above-described method, and other methods can be applied.

(Details of edit screen generation unit 117)
The edit screen generated by the edit screen generation unit 117 will be described. The edit screen is a screen for editing operation sequence information. In the following, the i-th (i = 1, 2,...) -Th operation from the beginning of the operation sequence composed of the same type of operation is also referred to as an operation of order i. The action associated with the operation of order i is also referred to as the i-th action. The operation sequence information is referred to when the continuous operation determination unit 118, which will be described in detail later, determines that the operation is continuous. Here, when there is another type of operation following a certain type of operation, another type of operation sequence information is referred to following the certain type of operation sequence information. For this reason, the user can edit the actions in consideration of the combination of each type of operation sequence information, so that the actions that are continuously fed out by successive operations can be more varied.

The edit screen generation unit 117 generates an edit screen for each retained character held by the user. The possessed character is a character that can be an operation character when selected by the user. As the possessed character, there is a character given to the user in advance at the start of the game. Further, as the possessed character, there is a character that is additionally given as the game progresses. For example, the possessed character may be given when the operation character wins a battle with the enemy character. Moreover, the possessed character to be additionally given may be determined by lottery from one or more characters. In addition, the possessed character that is additionally given may appear as an inclusion by opening an unopened thing that is given to the user as the game progresses. In this case, the unopened object may be opened by satisfying a predetermined condition. For example, suppose that an unopened thing is expressed as an egg provided when an operation character wins a battle. In this case, such an egg may be set in a virtual hatching device and hatched when a predetermined condition is satisfied, so that a character appears. In addition, the period until the predetermined condition for opening an unopened thing is satisfy | filled may be shortened in exchange for consumption items, such as virtual currency. Moreover, an unopened thing may be opened instead of satisfy | filling predetermined conditions in exchange for a consumption item.

An example of the edit screen is shown in FIGS. 10 (A) and 10 (B). 10A and 10B, the editing screen includes an operation sequence component 115a for each type of operation and a list of action icons 115b. In this example, operation sequence components 115a of five types of operations (tap operation, upper flick operation, lower flick operation, left and right flick operation, and rotation operation) are included. However, the number of operation sequence components 115a included in the editing screen is not limited to the illustrated number. If the number of action icons 115b that can be displayed exceeds the number that can be displayed simultaneously (six in FIGS. 10A and 10B), the scroll bar 115c is displayed. Of the action icons 115b that can be displayed, the hidden action icon 115b is displayed by an operation on the scroll bar 115c.

First, the operation sequence component 115a will be described. The operation sequence component 115a sequentially assigns slots 115ai (i is a natural number from 1 to N) representing the actions associated with the operation of the order i among the corresponding types of consecutive operations from the first stage to the Nth stage. It is an arranged component. N is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and represents the maximum number of operations that can be included in the type of operation sequence. The maximum number N is an upper limit value of the continuous number that allows the action to be continuously sent out by the continuous operation of the type. Hereinafter, the maximum number N is also referred to as the maximum continuous number N. The maximum continuation number N may be different depending on the characteristics of the corresponding possessed character, for example. Further, the maximum continuous number N may be different depending on the characteristics of the type of the corresponding operation. Further, the maximum number N of consecutive times can be increased when a predetermined condition is satisfied. An example of the condition for increasing the maximum number N is exchange for a consumption item such as virtual currency. In addition, as a condition for increasing the maximum number of consecutive N, for example, the possessed character may be leveled up. However, the conditions for increasing the maximum continuous number N are not limited to these.

Further, among the N slots 115ai included in the operation sequence component 115a, actions can be associated with the slots 115ai up to the editable number M (that is, editable). The slots 115ai exceeding the editable number M are not editable and cannot be associated with actions. The non-editable slot 115ai is displayed to indicate that it cannot be edited. In the examples of FIGS. 10A and 10B, the slot 115ai in which the lock mark is displayed indicates that editing is impossible. Further, the number of continuous actions that can be continuously sent out by this type of continuous operation is the editable number M. However, the editable number M can be increased up to the maximum continuous number N according to the conditions satisfied by the possessed character. The editable number M may be different depending on the possessed character. As a condition for increasing the editable number M, for example, exchange with a consumption item such as a virtual currency can be cited. In addition, as a condition for increasing the editable number M, for example, the possessed character is raised in level. However, the conditions for increasing the editable number M are not limited to these.

Next, the action icon 115b will be described. The action icon 115b represents an action that can be associated with each operation in the operation sequence information. As described above, the types of actions that can be associated include those that act on enemy characters, those that move operation characters, and those that summon other possessed characters.

In the action represented by the action icon 115b, for example, various information such as an action name, an action characteristic, and an action parameter are defined. Information regarding each of these actions may be displayed in the vicinity of the action icon 115b. In the example of FIG. 10A, for example, the characteristic of the action named “A1” is “xx”, and the cost is “yy”. An example of an action parameter is cost. Details of the cost will be described later. Note that the information defined in the action represented by the action icon 115b is not limited to the information described above. Further, information displayed in the vicinity of the action icon 115b is not limited to such information. In the example of FIG. 10A, the action icon 115b is displayed as an icon including the name of the corresponding action, but the display form of the action icon 115b is not limited to this. For example, the action icon 115b may be displayed as a design icon representing the corresponding action.

Next, a list of action icons 115b will be described. The list of action icons 115b represents a list of actions that can be associated with the operation corresponding to the slot 115ai. Actions that can be associated include actions already acquired by the corresponding possessed character. Furthermore, the actions that can be associated with each other may include actions that have already been acquired by another possessed character of the same type as the corresponding retained character.

The possessed character may acquire a new action by satisfying the condition. The condition for acquiring a new action may be, for example, that the play period as the operation character of the corresponding possessed character exceeds a threshold value. This represents that the operation character flashes a new technique as the game progresses. Further, the condition for acquiring the action may be, for example, that the operation character acquires a predetermined item. This expresses that the operating character learns a new technique using a predetermined item.

The list of action icons 115b represents a list of actions having characteristics corresponding to the type of operation corresponding to the slot 115ai to be edited. For example, the characteristic corresponding to the tap operation may be high homing performance. Further, for example, the characteristic corresponding to the upper flick operation or the lower flick operation may be a high attack power. For example, the characteristic corresponding to the left / right flick may be that the attack range is wide. Moreover, you may change the characteristic of the action which can be linked | related according to the kind of operation. For example, the homing performance of the action that can be associated with the tap operation may be increased and the homing performance of the action that may be associated with the rotation operation may be decreased as compared with the up / down or left / right flick operation. Further, for example, the action homing performance that can be associated with the left / right flick operation may be higher than that of the up / down flick operation.

For example, in FIG. 10A, a list of action icons 115b representing actions A1 to A6 having characteristics according to the tap operation when any slot 115ai included in the operation column component 115a of the tap operation is tapped. Is displayed. In FIG. 10B, when any slot 115ai included in the operation sequence component 115a of the upper flick operation is tapped, action icons 115b representing actions B1 to B6 having characteristics corresponding to the upper flick operation. Is displayed.

Next, an example of how to edit operation sequence information on the edit screen will be described. An action icon 115b can be fitted into the editable slot 115ai. The action represented by the inserted action icon 115b is associated with the operation in the order of the slots 115ai. The operation for fitting the action icon 115b into the slot 115ai may be, for example, a drag operation. The operation for fitting may be tapping the slot 115ai and the action icon 115b in this order or in reverse order. However, the operation for fitting is not limited to these operations.

In addition, the action icon 115b inserted in the slot 115ai can be cleared by a predetermined operation to become an empty slot. The operation for clearing may be, for example, that the action icon 115b already fitted is dragged outside the frame of the slot 115ai. However, the clearing operation is not limited to such an operation. In the editing screen, an “all clear” function may be provided in which each slot 115ai in each type of operation sequence component 115a is an empty slot. In this case, the editing screen includes an operation button (not shown) that instructs all clear.

Note that the slot 115ai is displayed to indicate that it is an empty slot if the actions in the corresponding order are not associated. In the example of FIGS. 10A and 10B, the slot 115ai filled with diagonal lines is an empty slot.

For example, in FIG. 10A, referring to the operation sequence component 115a related to the tap operation, five slots 115ai are arranged. That is, the maximum continuous number N is 5. Further, slots 115a1 to 115a4 can be edited, of which slots 115a2 to 115a4 are empty slots. The slot 115a5 is not editable. That is, the editable number M is four. In other words, in this example, for this possessed character, it is possible to execute a continuous action up to the fourth editable number of the maximum number of continuous tap operations 5.

Also, the total cost of actions associated with each operation in each operation sequence information is determined not to exceed the upper limit of the cost. For example, whether or not the total cost of the action icons 115b fitted in the slots 115ai in each type of operation sequence component 115a exceeds the upper limit value is determined when the editing of the operation sequence information is finished. For example, when the operation for instructing the end of editing is performed, the editing screen generation unit 117 stores operation sequence information reflecting the editing content as user information 133 if the total cost does not exceed the upper limit value. Save to 120. If the total cost exceeds the upper limit value, the edit screen generation unit 117 does not save the operation sequence information. In this case, the edit screen generation unit 117 may continue displaying the edit screen after displaying that the total cost exceeds the upper limit.

(Details of continuous operation determination unit 118)
Details of the continuous operation determination unit 118 will be described. As described above, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines whether a certain operation is continuous with the previous operation. “Continuing from the previous operation” means that the current operation was performed within a certain period of time after a series of motions of the operation character based on the previous operation started. Here, within a certain period after the series of motions of the operation character based on the previous operation has started, for example, a period during which the operation character is performing a preparation motion for an attack based on the previous operation may be used. However, it may be until the return motion is completed, or the operation may be accepted within a predetermined time after the return motion is completed. For example, a certain operation may be performed before a series of motions of the operation character based on the previous operation is completed.

That is, the continuous operation determination unit 118 may determine whether or not the current operation has been performed within a certain period after a series of motions of the operation character based on the previous operation has started. For example, when an operation is performed while an animation representing a preparatory motion before the attack of the operation character based on the previous operation is being performed, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines that the operation is the previous operation. It may be determined that it is continuous. In addition, when a certain operation is performed between the end of the return motion of the operation character based on the previous operation and the elapse of a certain period, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines that the certain operation is the previous operation. It may be determined that it is continuous.

Further, when it is determined that the continuous operation determination unit 118 is continuous, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines an action to be executed with reference to operation sequence information according to the type of the previous operation and the current operation. The continuous operation determination unit 118 notifies the game execution unit 115 of the determined action.

Specifically, first, the case where the types of the previous and current operations are the same will be described. In this case, the continuous operation determination unit 118 counts the number of the operation of the current type (that is, the order i). The count of the order i can be calculated by storing the type of operation as a history every time it is determined that it is continuous. Note that the continuous operation determination unit 118 may clear the history of operation types when it is determined that the history is not continuous. Then, the continuous operation determination unit 118 refers to the operation sequence information regarding the type of the current operation, and determines the action associated with the operation of the current order i as the action to be executed next. A case where the current order i exceeds the editable number M in the operation sequence information will be described. In this case, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the continuous operation determination unit 118 does not determine an action to be executed next, assuming that no further continuous operation is possible. That is, the same type of operation becomes invalid after the continuous number exceeds the editable number M until it is determined that the operation is not continuous with the previous operation. Thereby, this embodiment can urge the user to perform an operation in which a plurality of types of operation sequences are connected as much as possible.

However, the process when the continuous number exceeds the editable number M is not limited to the process for invalidating the operation as described above. For example, in this case, the continuous operation determination unit 118 may reset the order to 1 and determine the first-stage action in the operation sequence information as an action to be executed next. In this case, if the user performs the same type of operation continuously, it is possible to send out actions successively one after another by the number of continuous numbers without any upper limit.

Next, the case where the previous and current operation types are not the same will be described. In this case, the continuous operation determining unit 118 refers to the operation sequence information regarding the type of operation this time, and determines the first-stage action associated with the operation of the order i as the action to be executed next.

When the action determined by the continuous operation determination unit 118 is notified, the game execution unit 115 notifies the other units to cause the operation character to execute the action based on the current operation following the action based on the previous operation. To do.

For example, the case where the action based on the previous operation and the action based on the current operation are actions that affect the enemy character will be described as an example. Assume that the action that acts on the enemy character includes a preparation motion, an attack motion, and a return motion, as described above. At this time, it is assumed that the current operation is during the technique motion display period based on the previous operation. In this case, the following two patterns can be considered as timings at which the operation character starts the action based on the current operation.

In the first pattern, the game execution unit 115 causes the operation character to end the technique motion by the previous operation, cancels the subsequent return motion, and starts the preparation motion by the current operation. In the second pattern, the game execution unit 115 causes the operation character to cancel the technique motion by the previous operation and immediately starts the preparation motion by the current operation. In any case, the game execution unit 115 can cause the operation character to continuously execute the action determined based on the operation sequence information according to the continuous operation.

<Example of Processing of Game System 1>
Next, as an example of processing of the game system 1, operation sequence information editing processing and processing according to successive operations will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Flow of editing operation column information)
First, operation string information editing processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of the operation sequence information editing process. It is assumed that the game screen has already been displayed on the display unit 152 at the start of the following operation. Further, it is assumed that the displayed game screen includes a menu or an operation button for instructing start of editing of operation sequence information. Further, in the following description, displaying the processing result of the editing screen generation unit 117 by the display control unit 112-1 is simply referred to as displaying by the editing screen generation unit 117.

In step S 101-1, the operation reception unit 111-1 determines whether an operation for instructing to start editing operation sequence information has been received for a certain retained character. The target possessed character may be the operation character selected at this time, or may be another possessed character. When an operation for instructing the start of editing is accepted, the next step S102-1 is executed.

In step S102-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 reads operation sequence information related to the possessed character from the storage unit 120. The operation sequence information read at this time is operation sequence information that has already been edited and stored, or operation sequence information in an initial state. In the operation column information in the initial state, it is assumed that a predetermined action is associated with each operation.

In step S103-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 displays an edit screen based on the operation string information of the possessed character.

In step S104-1, the operation reception unit 111-1 receives an operation for one of the slots 115ai. For example, a tap operation or a drag operation on the slot 115ai may be accepted. Hereinafter, the slot 115ai in which the operation has been accepted is also referred to as an operation target slot 115ai.

In step S105-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 branches the process depending on the state of the slot 115ai for which the operation has been accepted.

Specifically, the case where the operation target slot 115ai cannot be edited in step S105-1 will be described. In this case, in step S106-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 displays a notification that the corresponding slot 115ai cannot be edited.

Further, a case where the action icon 115b has already been inserted in the operation target slot 115ai in step S105-1 will be described. In this case, it is assumed that the operation accepted in step S104-1 is an operation to instruct clearing of the slot 115ai (Yes in step S107-1). In this case, in step S108-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 clears the action icon 115b from the corresponding slot 115ai and displays it as an empty slot.

Further, the case where the operation target slot 115ai is an empty slot in step S105-1 will be described. In this case, in step S109-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 displays a list of action icons 115b corresponding to the slot 115ai. The action icon 115b included in the list represents an action having a characteristic corresponding to the type of operation corresponding to the slot 115ai among the actions already acquired by the corresponding owned character and other owned characters of the same type.

In step S110-1, the operation receiving unit 111-1 receives an operation of dragging any one of the list of action icons 115b to the slot 115ai. It is assumed that the slot 115ai effective as a drag destination is any slot 115ai included in the same operation sequence component 115a as the operation target slot 115ai operated in step S104-1.

In step S111-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 displays an image in which the dragged action icon 115b is inserted in the drag-destination slot 115ai.

If it is determined in step S112-1 that an operation for instructing the end of editing has not been accepted, the edit screen generation unit 117 repeats the operation from step S104-1.

A case will be described in which an operation for instructing the end of editing is accepted in step S112-1. In this case, in step S113-1, the editing screen generation unit 117 determines whether or not the total cost exceeds the upper limit value. Specifically, the edit screen generation unit 117 calculates the total cost of the action icon 115b fitted in each slot 115ai included in each type of operation sequence component 115a, and whether or not the calculated value exceeds the upper limit value. You just have to judge.

In step S113-1, when the total cost exceeds the upper limit value, the edit screen generation unit 117 displays a notification indicating that effect. Then, the edit screen generation unit 117 repeats the operation from step S104-1.

A case will be described where the total cost is equal to or less than the upper limit value in step S113-1. In this case, in step S114-1, the edit screen generation unit 117 stores operation sequence information reflecting the edit contents in each operation sequence component 115a in the storage unit 120-1.

In step S115-1, the display control unit 112-1 closes the editing screen and displays the game screen.

(Edit screen example)
Next, an example of the edit screen will be described. 12A, 12B, and 12C are diagrams illustrating examples of the edit screen.

The editing screen shown in FIG. 12A is displayed when an instruction to start editing operation sequence information is given for a certain retained character (step S103-1). This edit screen includes an operation sequence component 115a for each type of operation. For example, in the operation column component 115a for the tap operation, action icons 115b representing actions A3, A6, A1, and A5 are fitted in the slots 115a1 to 115a4. In addition, a key mark is displayed in the slot 115a5 to indicate that editing is impossible.

The edit screen shown in FIG. 12B is displayed when the slot 115a2 included in the operation column component 115a of the tap operation is dragged out of the frame on the edit screen of FIG. “There is an action” in S104-1, S105-1, Yes in S107-1, S108-1). That is, as a result of this operation, the slot 115a2 for the tap operation becomes an empty slot. In addition, since the slot 115a2 which has become an empty slot is selected, a list of action icons 115b corresponding to the tap operation is additionally displayed (“empty slot” in step S105-1, S109-1).

The edit screen shown in FIG. 12C is displayed when the action icon 115b representing the action A4 is dragged to the slot 115a2 for the tap operation on the edit screen shown in FIG. That is, by this drag operation, the action icon 115b representing the action A4 is inserted into the tap operation slot 115a2 (steps S110-1 and S111-1).

When editing is completed in this state, each type of operation sequence information is saved as follows. That is, actions A3, A4, A1, and A5 are associated with the operations in the first to fourth stages in the operation sequence information of the tap operation. In the left / right flick operation sequence information, the action C3 is associated with the first-stage operation. No action is associated with the operation sequence information of the lower flick. In the operation sequence information of the rotation operation, the action E3 is associated with the first-stage operation.

(Processing according to continuous operation)
Next, processing according to continuous operations on the touch screen 15 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing according to successive operations.

In step S201-1, when the operation accepting unit 111-1 accepts an operation for starting a game, the game executing unit 115 starts the game.

In step S202-1, the game execution unit 115 generates a game screen representing a game space in which an operation character exists based on various game information acquired from the server 200. Then, the display control unit 112-1 displays the generated game screen on the touch screen 15.

In step S203-1, the operation reception unit 111-1 reads operation sequence information about the operation character from the storage unit 120-1.

In step S204-1, when the operation receiving unit 111-1 receives an operation on the touch screen 15, in step S205-1, the continuous operation determining unit 118 continues the received current operation to the previous operation. Judge whether or not.

Specifically, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines that the current operation is continuous when the operation representing the action of the operation character based on the previous operation is received before the end of the motion. In other cases, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines that they are not continuous. The criteria for determining whether or not they are continuous are not limited to this, and other criteria can also be adopted.

A case will be described where it is determined in step S205-1 that the current operation is not continuous with the previous operation. In this case, in step S206-1, the continuous operation determination unit 118 refers to the operation sequence information regarding the type of operation of the current operation among the operation sequence information of the operation character. Then, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines an action associated with the first operation in the operation sequence information as an action to be executed.

On the other hand, a case will be described where it is determined in step S205-1 that the current operation is continuous with the previous operation. In this case, in step S207-1, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines whether or not the type of the current operation and the type of the previous operation are the same.

If it is determined in step S207-1 that they are not of the same type, step S206-1 is executed. As a result, the action associated with the first operation in this type of operation sequence information is determined as the action to be executed.

If it is determined in step S207-1 that they are of the same type, step S208-1 is executed.

In step S208-1, the continuous operation determination unit 118 specifies the number of steps of this type of operation (that is, the order).

In step S209-1, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines whether or not the order specified in step S208-1 is equal to or less than the editable number M of this type of operation.

In step S209-1, if the order of operations exceeds the editable number M, the operation from step S204-1 is repeated without determining the action to be executed. That is, the same type of operation that exceeds the editable number M is invalid until it is determined that it is not continuous with the previous operation.

The case where the order of operations is the editable number M or less in step S209-1 will be described. In this case, in step S210-1, the continuous operation determination unit 118 determines an action associated with the operation in the order specified in step S208-1 as an action to be executed in the operation sequence information of this type.

In step S211-1, the game executing unit 115 notifies each unit to cause the operating character to execute the determined action. Specifically, the animation generation unit 114-1 generates an animation in which the operation character performs a motion of the determined action. Also, the display control unit 112-1 displays the generated animation. Note that the game execution unit 115 controls each unit to cancel the display based on the previous action being executed by the operating character, and to perform the display based on the action determined this time. At this time, if the motion displayed at this time is the return motion of the previous action, the game execution unit 115 controls to immediately cancel the display of the return motion and display the motion of the current action. If the motion displayed at this time is the attack motion of the previous action, the game execution unit 115 waits until the display of the attack motion is finished, cancels the display of the return motion, and cancels the current motion. You may control to display the motion. Alternatively, in this case, the game execution unit 115 may control to cancel the display of the attack motion and display the motion of the current action.

And the control part 110-1 repeats the operation | movement from step S204-1.

This completes the description of the processing according to the continuous operation.

For example, it is assumed that the operation sequence information is stored on the editing screen illustrated in FIG. In this case, for example, it is assumed that the operation is continuously received in the order of the tap operation, the tap operation, and the left / right flick operation. Then, the action is sent out in the order of action A3 associated with the first-stage tap operation, action A4 associated with the second-stage tap operation, and action C3 associated with the first-stage left / right flick operation. Become. Further, it is assumed that the tap operation is continuously received five times or more. In this case, in the operation sequence information of the tap operation, actions are associated only up to the fourth level. That is, the editable number M = 4. Therefore, in this case, actions are sent out to the fourth level in the order of actions A3, A4, A1, and A5. Thereafter, if the fourth-stage action A5 is an action that attacks the enemy character, the fifth and subsequent tap operations are invalid until the return motion of the action A5 ends.

The “recommend” button 115d is a button for accepting an operation for instructing automatic setting of recommended operation sequence information.

FIG. 14B is an example of a recommended operation sequence information selection screen that is displayed when the “recommend” button 115d is operated on the editing screen of FIG. 14A. In this example, the recommended operation sequence information of “Recommendation 1” has a configuration that emphasizes the power of the final decision technique. Further, the recommended operation sequence information of “Recommendation 2” has a configuration that focuses on the fact that no gap is generated between actions that are continuously delivered.

FIG. 14C is an example of an editing screen in which “Recommendation 1” is selected and automatic setting is performed on the editing screen of FIG. 14B. In this example, the corresponding action icon 115b is automatically fitted in the corresponding slot 115ai in accordance with each type of operation sequence information in “Recommendation 1”.

The editing screen may further include a function of presenting a recommended pattern for recommended continuous operation according to automatically set recommended operation sequence information. The recommended pattern of continuous operation is information indicating the type and order of operations recommended as continuous operations, such as “tap, tap, tap, upper flick”, and the like. The user can set the recommended operation sequence information automatically, and then perform the recommended pattern continuously.For example, the user can effectively connect actions that are continuously played until the final decision. Will improve.

In addition, the edit screen may further include a function for presenting a condition for causing the possessed character to acquire the action if there is an unacquired action that can further enhance the configuration of the recommended operation sequence information. The acquisition condition may be, for example, to participate in a predetermined event in the game space and clear a predetermined mission, but is not limited thereto. Further, when there is an action newly acquired by the user, the editing screen may have a function of presenting a recommended pattern for continuous operation so as to include the action. For example, it is assumed that there is an action newly acquired by the user and the action has never been associated with the operation sequence information. In this case, a recommended pattern for continuous operation including the action may be presented on the editing screen.

In this modification, the user can easily enjoy the game development based on the recommended operation sequence information by using the recommended operation sequence information. In addition, the user can easily learn a pattern of continuous operations effective when such recommended operation sequence information is set. In addition, in order to acquire an action necessary for setting such recommended operation sequence information, the motivation of the user for playing the game is strengthened.

In the present embodiment, the operation sequence information has been described as being edited for each user. Furthermore, the edit screen generated by the edit screen generation unit 117 can be modified to include a function for performing automatic setting based on operation sequence information edited by another user. For example, the edit screen may have a function of disclosing operation sequence information of any possessed character edited by the user to other users. Further, for example, the editing screen may have a function of acquiring and automatically setting operation sequence information published by other users on the editing screen of an arbitrary possessed character edited by the user. At this time, for example, the function of publishing operation sequence information may include a function of publishing user comments together with operation sequence information. In this case, the function for automatically setting the operation sequence information of other users is to display the comment that has been released together with the operation sequence information of one or more other users to the user, and then to set the operation sequence information to be automatically set. A function to be selected may be included.

FIG. 15 shows an example of the editing screen when the transformation is performed as described above. The editing screen shown in FIG. 15A includes a disclosure button 115e and an acquisition button 115f. When the publish button 115e is operated, the edit screen generation unit 117 transmits the edited operation sequence information to the server 200 as a publish target.

FIG. 15B is an example of a selection screen displayed when the acquisition button 115f is operated on the editing screen of FIG. The edit screen generation unit 117 acquires a list of published operation sequence information from the server 200 in response to an operation on the acquisition button 115f, and displays it in a selectable manner. In this example, operation sequence information 1 published by the user 1 and operation sequence information 2 published by the user 2 are displayed in a selectable manner. In this case, when any operation sequence information is selected from the list, the edit screen generation unit 117 selects the corresponding action icon 115b based on the operation sequence information selected from the published operation sequence information list. It is sufficient to automatically set the slot 115ai to be set.
