Description

The present invention relates to programs, control methods, and information processing devices.

A user who plays a role-playing game or the like acquires a game medium such as a card, an item, an equipment, or a character according to the progress of the game. The user can perform various processes (for example, synthesis, enhancement, sale, etc.) using the game medium in the game.

When a user executes one process (for example, composition), the following procedure is often followed. First, the user selects one process from the menu screen and displays a dedicated screen for executing the process. On the dedicated screen, the user selects a game medium (for example, a composition source character and a material character) to be processed. Then, the user presses the execute button.

In the above procedure, the selection and execution of one process is performed in a separate step. If the selection and execution of one process is performed in one step, the process for the game medium is executed more efficiently.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes drag and drop widely used in a personal computer (PC). Drag and drop can perform processing associated with an application by moving the selected object (eg, a document file, etc.) to the icon of one application.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-185838

In recent years, games are often played on mobile terminals such as smartphones. The display unit of the mobile terminal is smaller in size than the display unit of the PC. Therefore, it is not realistic to apply drag and drop as it is when performing various processes on a game medium in a game played on a mobile terminal. Therefore, there has been a demand for a new user interface that can efficiently execute various processes on the game medium.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

(Configuration of information processing device)
The information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The information processing device 1 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a game device, or the like, and executes a game application (program). The game application may be received from a predetermined application distribution server via, for example, the Internet. Alternatively, the application of the game may be stored in advance in a storage device provided in the information processing device 1 or a storage medium such as a memory card that can be read by the information processing device 1.

Here, an outline of a game application (hereinafter, referred to as a game of the present embodiment) executed by the information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. The game of this embodiment is, for example, a role-playing game or the like. The user operates the user character in the virtual space to advance the game. The user acquires the game medium as the game progresses. In addition, the user can execute various processes on the acquired game medium.

The game medium is electronic data used in the game and includes any medium such as cards, items, equipment, characters, and objects. In addition, the user can execute, for example, acquisition, possession, use, management, exchange, synthesis, enhancement, sale, destruction, gift, and the like as processing for the game medium in the game. Here, the usage mode of the game medium is not limited to that specified in the present specification.

The game of the present embodiment includes the following contents as a schematic example. The user operates the user character to advance the game while exploring the fields in the game. The field is provided with, for example, a town and a battle stage. The user character can, for example, have a conversation with a town resident character, a battle with an enemy character encountered in the battle stage, and the like. In the field in the game, various events occur according to the area. By executing the event, the main story of the game progresses. For example, when the user character wins the battle with the enemy character, the user can acquire the game medium.

The components of the information processing device 1 will be described. The information processing device 1 includes an operation unit 10, a storage unit 11, a display unit 12, and a control unit 13.

The operation unit 10 receives the input operation of the user and outputs the input operation data in which the input operation is associated with the coordinate information. As described above, in the game executed by the information processing device 1, various processes can be executed on the game medium. The user input operation accepted by the operation unit 10 includes, for example, an operation in which the user selects a game medium to be processed. Further, the user input operation accepted by the operation unit 10 includes, for example, an operation of instructing the game medium selected by the user to execute a desired process.

In the information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment, the operation unit 10 is a touch panel integrated with the display unit 12. For example, the information processing device 1 has a configuration in which a transparent sensor layer for detecting a change in capacitance, which is an operation unit 10, is superposed on an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) layer, which is a display unit 12 (user is a sensor layer). The configuration is such that the LCD layer is viewed through. The operation unit 10 can detect the position touched by the user by detecting the change in capacitance. The operation unit 10 can also adopt a touch panel of a method other than the capacitance method.

The user performs an input operation by touching the operation unit 10 with a finger or an instrument such as a stylus. In the present embodiment, the user can select the game medium and deselect (cancel) the selected game medium by tapping. The tap is an operation in which the user touches the operation unit 10 with a finger and then releases the finger without moving the finger. In the present embodiment, the user can continuously select and release the game medium and perform desired processing on the game medium by tapping and / or sliding. The slide operation is an operation in which the user moves a finger touching the operation unit 10 on the operation unit 10. The slide operation includes, for example, flicking, swiping and the like. The flick is an operation in which the user touches the operation unit 10 with a finger or the like, and while touching the operation unit 10, the user quickly moves the finger while releasing the finger. The swipe is an operation in which the user touches the operation unit 10 with a finger or the like and moves the finger while touching the operation unit 10. Here, the point at which the user touches the operation unit 10 with a finger or the like to start the input operation is referred to as a start point. Further, when the input operation is completed, the point at which the user releases the finger or the like that is in contact with the operation unit 10 is referred to as the end point. Further, a point on the locus where the user contacts the operation unit 10 from the start to the end of the input operation is referred to as an intermediate point. Here, it is not the end point when the finger or the like touches the operation unit 10 again within a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) so that the point where the finger or the like is momentarily separated during the input operation is not set as the end point. It is preferable to be treated as.

The operation unit 10 associates the tap position, the start point and end point of the slide operation, the locus of the slide operation, and the like with the coordinate information on the touch panel. The start point, end point, locus, etc. associated with the coordinate information are output as input operation data. In the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, coordinates of a Cartesian coordinate system in which the horizontal direction of the screen of the display unit 12 integrated with the operation unit 10 is the X axis and the vertical direction is the Y axis are used. The input operation data also includes information on the elapsed time from the start of the input operation.

The storage unit 11 is, for example, a storage device that stores various information and programs (game applications) necessary for processing a game. The storage unit 11 may include, for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, an optical memory, or the like. The storage unit 11 stores an image of the game medium to be displayed in the virtual space (virtual game space). In addition, the storage unit 11 stores various parameters (for example, attributes, levels, offensive power, defensive power, value, etc.) of the game medium. Further, the storage unit 11 stores a table 111 (see FIG. 4), which will be described later. Further, the storage unit 11 may store various images (texture images) for projection (texture mapping) on various objects arranged in the virtual space. Further, the storage unit 11 stores, for example, a background image (background image) such as the sky and a distant view, and a field image (field image) such as a town and a battle stage. The storage unit 11 may be a memory (for example, RAM or the like) that stores data received from the server as a cache.

The display unit 12 displays a virtual space in which the user character is arranged. In the present embodiment, the display unit 12 is a liquid crystal display (LCD) layer of a touch panel, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the display unit 12 may be a display device such as an organic EL display.

The control unit 13 is a dedicated microprocessor or a CPU that realizes a specific function by reading a specific program. The control unit 13 controls the operation of the information processing device 1. For example, the control unit 13 executes a game application in response to a user operation on the operation unit 10. Further, the control unit 13 executes various processes related to the game.

The control unit 13 causes the display unit 12 to display a virtual space including, for example, a field and a user character. Further, the control unit 13 causes the display unit 12 to display a game medium such as a card or equipment. In addition, the control unit 13 identifies the game medium selected by the user's input operation. The control unit 13 executes a process according to a user's input operation on the selected game medium. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8, a screen example displayed on the display unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment and processing for the game medium will be described.

(Selection of game medium)
As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing device 1 includes an operation unit 10 and a display unit 12 that integrally form a touch panel. The display unit 12 is provided with a display area 121 for displaying the game media 2a to 2i. Each of the game media 2a to 2i is an individual game medium. The game media 2a to 2i are listed in the display area 121. The list display is to display the game media in an easy-to-understand manner for the user so that the user can easily select the game medium. In the example of FIG. 2, a list display in which the game media 2a to 2i are arranged in three columns both vertically and horizontally is displayed. In the present embodiment, the display area 121 is used for selecting the game media 2a to 2i regardless of the processing to be executed. Since the selection screen is unified regardless of the processing, the convenience of the user is improved.

The user can select by tapping the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121. By tapping the already selected game media 2a to 2i, deselection (deselection) can be performed. Further, even when the game media 2a to 2i are touched by the slide operation, the contacted game media 2a to 2i can be selected. In the example of FIG. 2, the user selects the game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i. Since the display colors of the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i change, the user can confirm the selection result. As another example, the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i may blink, the shape may change, the display mode may change, or the selected game medium 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i may be selected. An image may be added.

Here, the operation unit 10 accepts the user's input operation and outputs the input operation data in which the input operation is associated with the coordinate information. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation unit 10 uses coordinates of a Cartesian coordinate system in which the horizontal direction of the screen is the X axis and the vertical direction is the Y axis. Coordinate information is used as follows. For example, the operation unit 10 accepts an input operation for tapping the user's game medium 2i, and outputs input operation data in association with the coordinates of the tap position. After that, the input operation data is acquired by the control unit 13, and the coordinates of the tap position are grasped. Then, the control unit 13 executes control to change the display color of the game medium 2i displayed at the coordinates of the tap position.

The information processing device 1 of the present embodiment can execute various processes on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i. As described above, the information processing device 1 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a game device, or the like. Therefore, it is not realistic to apply drag and drop to the information processing device 1 as it is.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a screen when drag and drop is applied to the information processing device 1A, which is a smartphone, as it is. The display unit 12 of the information processing device 1A is provided with a processing area corresponding to an application icon. In the example of FIG. 12, as the processing area, the evolutionary synthesis area 140A, the reinforcement synthesis area 140B, the special synthesis area 140C, the team formation area 140D, the sale area 140E, and the warehouse area 140F are provided. In the example of FIG. 12, the user can process the selected game media collectively by dragging the selected game media 2d and 2e to any of the processing areas.

However, in the display unit 12 whose size is smaller than that of the PC, the display area 121 for displaying the game media 2a to 2f becomes smaller by providing the processing area. This is inconvenient for the user because the number of game media that can be selected at one time is reduced and the number of times the process is executed increases as a result.

The information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment can execute various processes on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i without providing a processing area on the display unit 12. Specifically, the information processing device 1 executes various processes by making the processes correspond to the direction of the user's slide operation. In other words, the user can execute a desired process only by sliding in a predetermined direction.

(Display help information)
Here, the user may be confused as to which direction of the slide operation the desired process corresponds to. When the user presses and holds (long taps) the game media 2a to 2i after selecting the game media 2a to 2i, the information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment shows the help information 122 on the display unit 12.

FIG. 3A is a diagram showing an example of help information 122. In the present embodiment, the help information 122 is information such as an image explaining the correspondence between the processing and the orientation with respect to the game medium. Here, the help information 122 may include a written explanation. Further, the help information 122 may be only a textual explanation. That is, the help information 122 is at least one of an image and a sentence explaining the correspondence between the processing and the orientation with respect to the game medium.

In the example of FIG. 3A, the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 are equipment (for example, weapons, helmets, armor, shields, etc.) worn by the character. Equipment can be synthesized, warehoused, specially synthesized, and sold. Compositing is a process of synthesizing the equipment as a material with the equipment of the synthesis source to make the equipment of the synthesis source into another equipment. The warehouse is a process of moving unused equipment to a virtual warehouse in the game space and storing it. Special composition is a composition performed by consuming not only in-game currency but also special items. Special synthesis can enhance the parameters of the equipment from which it is synthesized, rather than just synthesis. Selling is the process of exchanging equipment for in-game currency. In the example of FIG. 3A, help information 122 indicates that the upward slide operation is synthetic. Also, help information 122 indicates that the downward slide operation is a warehouse. Further, the help information 122 indicates that the slide operation pointing to the right is a special composition. Also, help information 122 indicates that the leftward slide operation is a sale.

FIG. 3B is a diagram showing another example of help information 122. In the example of FIG. 3B, the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 are characters. Characters can be reinforced, evolved, and sold. Reinforcement synthesis is a process of strengthening the parameters of the composition source character by synthesizing the material character with the composition source character. Evolutionary synthesis is a process of synthesizing a character as a material with a character of a synthesis source to make the character of the synthesis source another character. Selling is the process of exchanging a character for in-game currency. In the example of FIG. 3B, help information 122 indicates that the upward slide operation is a reinforced composition. Further, the help information 122 indicates that the rightward slide operation is evolutionary synthesis. Also, help information 122 indicates that the leftward slide operation is a sale. In the example of FIG. 3B, there is no process corresponding to the downward slide operation.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the processing differs depending on the types (equipment, characters) of the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121. That is, the information processing device 1 associates an appropriate process according to the type of the game medium with the direction of the slide operation. Such association is executed based on the information stored in the storage unit 11 as the table 111.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the table 111 stored in the storage unit 11. As described above, the table 111 associates the processing with respect to the game medium with the direction of the slide operation. In the present embodiment, the table 111 associates various processes on the game medium with the direction of the slide operation for each type of the game medium. The slide operation direction is, for example, up, down, left, right, upper right, or the like. However, not all orientations need to be associated with the process. In the example of FIG. 4, regardless of whether the type of the game medium is a character, an equipment, or an item, the processing is not associated with the direction of the upper right.

In FIG. 4, the correspondence between the processing when the type of the game medium is a character and the equipment and the direction of the slide operation is the same as the help information 122 described with reference to FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B), respectively. Further, in the example of FIG. 4, when the type of the game medium is an item, the upward slide operation is associated with the enhancement executed by consuming points. Also, the downward slide operation is associated with the warehouse. Also, the leftward slide operation is associated with the sale.

Here, as another example, in the table 111, the correspondence between the processing and the direction of the slide operation may be shared without being divided for each type of game medium. However, when there are many processes for the game medium (for example, when the number of types exceeds eight), the direction of the slide operation is the process according to the types of the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 as in the present embodiment. It is preferable to associate them. Further, as yet another example, the processing may be different depending on the types of the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i instead of the types of the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121.

Further, as in the example of FIG. 4, it is preferable that the same processes are associated with each other in the same direction regardless of the types of the game media 2a to 2i. For example, even if the game media 2a to 2i are characters, equipment, or items, they can be sold. And the sale is associated to the left. Further, whether the game media 2a to 2i are equipment or items, they can be stored in the warehouse (or taken out from the warehouse). The warehouses are then associated downwards. As in this example, it is preferable that the processes common to two or more types of game media 2a to 2i are associated with the same slide operation direction. At this time, since the user stores the specific process and the specific direction in association with each other, it is possible to reduce the trouble of checking the help information 122.

(Execution of processing)
As described above, the user taps and selects the game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i from the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 (see FIG. 2). Then, the user displays the help information 122 by pressing and holding the operation unit 10 integrated with the display unit 12, and confirms the correspondence between the processing and the orientation (FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B)). )reference). Then, by performing a slide operation (specifically, flicking) in the direction corresponding to the desired process, the desired process can be collectively executed on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i. can.

5 (A) and 5 (B) illustrate how a user executes one process by a slide operation. In the examples of FIGS. 5A and 5B, the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 are equipment. In the example of FIG. 5A, the user performs synthesis on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i. Compositing is associated with an upward slide operation. When the user slides upward with a finger or the like, the prediction 123 is popped up in the middle (before the execution of the composition). Prediction 123 is an expected result when one process corresponding to the direction of the slide operation halfway, which is defined in Table 111, is executed on the selected game medium. Prediction 123 is not limited to deterministic content. For example, if one process is performed according to a given probability, the prediction 123 may have one or more results with probabilities (eg, 70% chance of X, 20% chance of Y, 10% chance). Z etc.) may be displayed with probability. In the example of FIG. 5A, the prediction 123 shows the prediction result of the synthesis. Prediction 123 informs the user that the synthesis result is "ABC (rare)" with an 80% probability. Further, when the user slides upward with a finger or the like, the composition for the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i is executed. Here, in the synthesis, the first selected game medium 2d may be treated as the synthesis source, or the last selected game medium 2i may be treated as the synthesis source.

In the example of FIG. 5B, the user sells the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, and 2i together. The sale is associated with a left-facing slide operation. When the user slides to the left with a finger or the like, the prediction 123 pops up on the way (before the sale is executed). In the example of FIG. 5B, the forecast 123 shows the forecast result (planned sale amount) of the sale. Prediction 123 informs the user that the planned sale amount (total) of the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i is "2350G". Here, G is a unit of in-game currency. Further, when the user slides to the left with a finger or the like, the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i are sold together.

FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating the execution determination of the process. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, the process is executed or canceled according to the length of the slide operation. When executing one process on the selected game media 2d, 2e, 2g, 2i, the user uses a finger or the like to perform a slide operation in the direction corresponding to the one process. In the present embodiment, a threshold value Th is provided for the distance from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of this slide operation. The threshold Th may be set to a distance corresponding to 200 to 400 pixels on the display unit 12, for example. The threshold Th is used in the execution determination of the process. For example, as shown by the arrow on the left side of FIG. 6A (representing a slide operation), when the distance L1 from the start point 131 to the end point 132 exceeds the threshold Th, the information processing device 1 executes the process. Further, for example, when the distance L2 from the start point 131 to the end point 132 is equal to or less than the threshold value Th, as shown by the arrow on the right side of FIG. ..

Here, when the prediction 123 is displayed, the user may want to interrupt the process from the content thereof. In the example of FIG. 5A, the user grasps from the prediction 123 that the probability that the synthesis result is “ABC (rare)” is high. The user may want to cancel the synthesis if he thinks "ABC (rare)" is unnecessary. Further, in the example of FIG. 5B, the user grasps that the planned sale amount is “2350G” according to the prediction 123. The user may want to cancel the sale if he thinks the "2350G" is cheap. In the present embodiment, the processing when the prediction 123 is displayed is canceled by the determination described below.

FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating a method of canceling the process when the prediction 123 is displayed. In the example of FIG. 6B, the user first slides upward from the start point 131 as shown by the solid arrow. Then, the user changes the direction in the lower right direction on the way while bringing the finger or the like into contact with the operation unit 10, and performs the slide operation to the end point 132. In the upward slide operation from the first start point 131, the prediction 123 is displayed when the player moves away from the start point 131 by a specific distance smaller than the threshold Th. In this embodiment, the specific distance is 80% of the threshold Th (0.8 Th in FIG. 6B). Further, the intermediate point on the locus (solid arrow in FIG. 6B) when the prediction 123 is displayed is set as the specific intermediate point 133. That is, the specific intermediate point is an intermediate point separated from the start point by a specific distance (distance for displaying the prediction 123 of the process associated with the one direction) in one direction. Here, the multiplier (80%) with respect to the threshold value Th that gives a specific distance is an example, and may be 50% as another example.

As in the example of FIG. 6 (B), the direction from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of the slide operation (the direction of the vector Ve in FIG. 6 (B)) is the direction from the start point 131 to the specific intermediate point 133 (FIG. 6 (B). If it is not the same as the direction of the vector Vm in B), the information processing apparatus 1 cancels the process. That is, in the information processing device 1, if the direction from the final start point 131 to the end point 132 is different from the direction from the start point 131 displaying the prediction 123 to the specific intermediate point 133, the direction of the intentional slide operation by the user. Judged as a conversion. Then, the information processing device 1 cancels the process. In the present embodiment, when the directions are not the same as described above, the information processing device 1 is used regardless of the distance from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of the slide operation (the length of the vector Ve in FIG. 6B). Cancels the process.

Here, the direction from the start point 131 to the end point 132 of the slide operation and the direction from the start point 131 to the specific intermediate point 133 are not limited to the exact match. That is, if the direction from the start point 131 to the end point 132 and the direction from the start point 131 to the specific intermediate point 133 are substantially the same, it is determined that the information processing device 1 is the same. Whether or not they are substantially the same is determined as follows. In the present embodiment, when the angle formed by the vector Ve and the vector Vm in FIG. 6B exceeds a predetermined value (predetermined angle), it is determined that the directions are different, and the angle is equal to or less than the predetermined value (predetermined angle). If, it is determined that the directions are the same. Here, the predetermined value (predetermined angle) may be set to, for example, 20 ° in consideration of blurring of the input operation of the user. At this time, if a slide operation such as returning the user's finger or the like to the original position (for example, around the start point 131) is detected, the control unit 13 may cancel the process.

(flowchart)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a control method of the game executed by the control unit 13. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, the control unit 13 executes a process according to the user's slide operation on the selected game medium.

First, the user input operations received by the operation unit 10 are classified into three types. The first input operation is an input operation in which the user selects a game medium. The second input operation is an input operation for instructing processing for the game medium selected by the first input operation. The third input operation is a user input operation (for example, long press) that is different from the first input operation and the second input operation. The operation unit 10 receives the first input operation, the second input operation, and the third input operation, associates them with the coordinate information, and associates the first input operation data, the second input operation data, and the third input operation data, respectively. Output as input operation data. The first to third input operation data also includes information on the elapsed time from the start of the input operation.

The control unit 13 acquires the first input operation data from the operation unit 10 (step S1). Then, the control unit 13 identifies the selected game medium based on the first input operation data (step S2). Step S2 is a game medium specifying step. The control unit 13 acquires coordinate information such as a tap position and a trajectory of a slide operation from the first input operation data. The control unit 13 identifies the selected game medium by comparing the acquired coordinate information with the coordinates of the game medium displayed on the display unit 12.

The control unit 13 acquires the third input operation data from the operation unit 10 (step S3). Then, the control unit 13 determines whether or not the third input operation is a long press (step S4). The control unit 13 acquires, for example, coordinate information of the start point and end point of the input operation, information on the time from the start to the end, and the like from the third input operation data. Then, the control unit 13 determines whether or not the time from the start to the end of the input operation exceeds a predetermined time (first long press determination threshold value). Further, the control unit 13 determines whether or not the distance between the coordinates of the start point and the coordinates of the end point of the input operation is equal to or less than a predetermined distance (second long press determination threshold value). When the time from the start to the end of the input operation exceeds the first long press determination threshold value and the distance between the coordinates of the start point and the coordinates of the end point is equal to or less than the second long press determination threshold value. , It is determined that the input operation is a long press. The first long press determination threshold value may be set in the range of, for example, 1 to 3 seconds. Further, the second long press determination threshold value may be set to a distance corresponding to 1 to 10 pixels on the display unit 12, for example. When the control unit 13 determines that the third input operation is a long press (Yes in step S4), the control unit 13 causes the display unit 12 to display the help information 122 (step S5). Step S5 is a help display step. In the present embodiment, the help information 122 displayed on the display unit 12 is not displayed when a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed since the user stopped pressing and holding the button. The control unit 13 proceeds to the process of step S6 after executing the process of step S5 and when it is determined that the third input operation is not a long press (No in step S4).

The control unit 13 acquires the table 111 from the storage unit 11 (step S6). As described above, the table 111 is information in which the processing for the game medium is associated with the direction of the slide operation.

The control unit 13 acquires the second input operation data from the operation unit 10 (step S7). Then, the control unit 13 acquires coordinate information such as a start point of the slide operation and a locus of the slide operation from the second input operation data. The control unit 13 determines whether or not the end point of the slide operation is specified (step S8). When the second input operation data includes the coordinate information of the end point of the slide operation, the control unit 13 determines that the end point of the slide operation is specified (the end point exists) (Yes in step S8). , Proceed to the process of step S11.

When it is determined that the end point of the slide operation is not specified (the end point does not exist) (No in step S8), the control unit 13 executes the following processing related to the display of the prediction 123. The control unit 13 determines whether or not the locus during the slide operation includes a specific intermediate point (step S9). The specific intermediate point is an intermediate point separated from the start point of the slide operation by a specific distance (a distance corresponding to 80% of the threshold value Th in the example of FIG. 6B) in one direction. When the control unit 13 determines that the locus of the slide operation includes the specific intermediate point (Yes in step S9), one process associated with the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point in the table 111 is selected. The display unit 12 displays the prediction 123 when the game medium is executed (step S10). Step S10 is a prediction display step. In the present embodiment, the prediction 123 displayed on the display unit 12 is not displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed from the start of the display. The control unit 13 returns to the process of step S7 after executing the process of step S10 and when it is determined that the specific intermediate point is not included (No in step S9). Then, the control unit 13 acquires the updated second input operation data.

When the second input operation data includes the coordinate information of the end point, the control unit 13 obtains the distance from the start point to the end point. Then, the control unit 13 determines whether or not the distance from the start point to the end point of the second input operation exceeds the threshold value Th (see FIG. 6B) (step S11). When the control unit 13 determines that the distance from the start point to the end point is equal to or less than the threshold value Th (No in step S11), the control unit 13 cancels the process for the selected game medium and ends a series of processes. When the control unit 13 determines that the distance from the start point to the end point exceeds the threshold value Th (Yes in step S11), the control unit 13 specifies the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation (slide operation) (step S12). ).

The control unit 13 determines whether or not the prediction 123 has been displayed (step S13). When the prediction 123 is not displayed on the display unit 12 (No in step S13), the control unit 13 proceeds to the process of step S15. When the prediction 123 is displayed on the display unit 12 (Yes in step S13), the control unit 13 proceeds to the process of step S14 for determining the cancellation of the process.

The control unit 13 determines whether or not the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation (slide operation) is the same as the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point at the time of displaying the prediction 123, that is, in the prediction display step. (Step S14). In the process of step S14, the control unit 13 has the same direction as long as the angle formed by the vector Ve connecting the start point and the end point and the vector Vm connecting the start point and the specific intermediate point is equal to or less than a predetermined value. Is determined. When the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation is not the same as the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point (No in step S14), the control unit 13 cancels the process for the selected game medium. Ends a series of processes. When the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation is the same as the direction from the start point to the specific intermediate point (Yes in step S14), the control unit 13 proceeds to the process of step S15.

The control unit 13 executes one process associated with the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation in the table 111 on the selected game medium (step S15), and ends the series of processes. do. Step S15 is an execution step.

As described above, the information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment associates the processing with respect to the game medium and the direction, and performs one process according to the direction of the slide operation of the user with respect to the selected game medium. And execute. The information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment realizes a user interface capable of easily and efficiently executing various processes on a game medium.

Further, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment does not need to provide the display unit 12 with a processing area (see FIG. 12) corresponding to the drag-and-drop application icon. Therefore, it is suitable for an information processing device 1 such as a smartphone provided with a display unit 12 whose size is smaller than that of a PC.

Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and embodiments, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. ..

(Modification example, etc.)
In the above embodiment, the control unit 13 receives the input operation data from the operation unit 10. However, the storage unit 11 may temporarily store the input operation data. Then, the control unit 13 may receive the input operation data from the storage unit 11. At this time, since the storage unit 11 functions as a buffer, the control unit 13 can more flexibly select the timing for acquiring the input operation data.

In the above embodiment, the display area 121 displays a list of a displayable number of game media 2a to 2i. Here, in the case of owning a game medium that cannot be displayed in the display area 121, the user may be able to switch pages in units of the display area 121. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the first page contains game media 1a to 1i, the second page contains game media 2a to 2i, and the third page contains game media 3a to 3i. You may.

Here, in the page switching with the display area 121 as a unit, the control unit 13 may switch to the adjacent page and display it in response to the slide input operation in the left-right direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, the game is displayed in the display area 121 in response to an input operation in which the user slides the display area 121 to the left. The media 3a to 3i may be displayed. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, the display area 121 responds to an input operation in which the user slides the display area 121 to the right. The game media 1a to 1i may be displayed.

Further, when the page is switched according to the slide input operation in this way, for example, the control unit 13 may switch and display the page so as to jump to a predetermined page that is not adjacent to the slide input operation in the vertical direction. good. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, 10 is displayed in the display area 121 in response to an input operation in which the user slides the display area 121 upward. The game media 12a to 12i corresponding to the page destination may be displayed. Similarly, when the game media 12a to 12i are displayed in the display area 121, the game media 2a to 10 pages before the display area 121 correspond to the input operation in which the user slides the display area 121 downward. 2i may be displayed.

Further, when the page is switched according to the slide input operation in this way, for example, the control unit 13 may switch and display the page so as to jump to a predetermined page that is not adjacent to the slide input operation in the diagonal direction. good. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the game media 2a to 2i are displayed in the display area 121, the display area 121 responds to an input operation in which the user slides the display area 121 from the lower left to the upper right. The game medium 102a to 102i corresponding to 100 pages ahead may be displayed on the screen.

Here, the page displayed in the display area 121 may be switched by the tab 124. In the example of FIG. 8A, the user has selected tab 124 with the number "2". Then, in the display area 121, the game media 2a to 2i included in the second page are displayed. The user can easily switch pages by tab 124. Here, for example, when the user selects the tab 124 on which the number "1" is written, the game media 1a to 1i are displayed in the display area 121. Further, instead of the tab 124, the page may be switched by the slider 125 shown in FIG. 8 (B). The slider 125 can move the knob in the scale unit corresponding to each page.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, an in-screen all-selection button 126 that can collectively select the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 may be provided. For example, when the control unit 13 determines that the user has pressed the all-select button 126 in the screen based on the first input operation data, all the game media 2a to 2i displayed in the display area 121 of the display unit 12 Is selected. At this time, the game media 1a to 1i on the first page and the game media 3a to 3i on the third page, which are not selected on the tab 124, are not displayed on the display unit 12. Therefore, the control unit 13 handles that the game media 1a to 1i and the game media 3a to 3i are not selected. Then, the control unit 13 controls the display unit 12 so as to change the display color of the selected game media 2a to 2i. After that, the control unit 13 deselects the game media 2a to 2i when it is determined that the user has pressed the all selection button 126 on the screen again. That is, the in-screen all selection button 126 functions as a toggle button that selects all of the game media displayed on the display unit 12 and cancels the selection.

Here, the game medium may be sorted by one or more conditions specified by the user, preferably a plurality of conditions. The target of sorting may be limited to the game media (for example, game media 2a to 2i) displayed in the display area 121, or all including the game media not displayed in the display area 121 (for example, game media 1a to 1i, 2a). ~ 2i and 3a ~ 3i) may be used. The plurality of conditions means that, for example, the rarity can be specified as the first condition and the attribute can be specified as the second condition. Then, the game media may be sorted in descending order of rarity for each attribute. Sorting based on such a plurality of conditions facilitates the user to appropriately allocate the game medium to each page.

In the above embodiment, the table 111 associates various processes on the game medium with the direction of the slide operation for each type of game medium displayed in the display area 121 (see FIG. 4). Here, the table 111 may further have a classification as to whether the game medium to be selected is one or a plurality. And even if the type of the game medium is the same, the processing may be different depending on whether the game medium is one or a plurality of game media.

In the examples of FIGS. 9A and 9B, the game media 2a to 2i, which are characters, are displayed in the display area 121. In the example of FIG. 9A, a plurality of (two) game media 2a and 2b are selected. At this time, help information 122 indicates that the selected character can be subjected to reinforcement synthesis, evolutionary synthesis, and sale processing. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 9B, a singular (one) game medium 2a is selected. At this time, the help information 122 indicates that the leader setting, equipment change, and sale processing can be performed for the selected character. In the example of FIG. 9B, instead of the enhanced synthesis and evolutionary synthesis that require a plurality of game media, it is possible to set a leader for one game medium and change the equipment. In this way, the processing for the game medium is different depending on whether the selected game medium is one or a plurality of game media, and only the feasible processing is associated with the direction of the slide operation. As a result, a user interface that is easier for the user to use can be realized.

In the above embodiment, one of various processes for the game medium is executed according to the direction of the slide operation. Here, in a situation where it has already been decided to perform one process on the game medium, the selection items in one process may be determined according to at least one of the direction and length of the slide operation. .. For example, after the user selects one process according to the direction of the slide operation, the screen transitions to the dedicated screen for executing the one process, and the user selects by the slide operation on the dedicated screen as before. Matters (eg, parameters, characters, etc.) may be able to be determined.

FIG. 10 shows a screen for the user to select a character by a slide operation in a situation where the process of mounting the already selected game medium on the character is determined. The equipment i to be attached is displayed in the center of the screen. Then, four characters A to D are assigned to each of the up, down, left, and right directions of the equipment i. In the example of FIG. 10, the user performs a rightward slide operation on the screen and instructs the character B to attach the equipment i. Here, the prediction 123 may be displayed on this screen as well. As the prediction 123, an image, parameters, etc. when the equipment i is attached to the character according to the direction of the slide operation of the user may be displayed. By confirming the prediction 123, the user can try on each character before executing the process of mounting. Further, in the example of FIG. 10, although the equipment i is one weapon, a plurality of equipments (for example, a sword and a shield) may be collectively attached to the character.

Further, FIG. 11 shows a situation in which the process of strengthening the user character by strengthening points (points at which the character can be strengthened by consuming) is determined, and the user selects a parameter to be strengthened by a slide operation. Shows the screen of. Six parameters (attack power, HP, skill, defense power, MP, speed) are assigned to each of the six directions from the center of the screen. In the example of FIG. 11, the user can perform the upward slide operation V1 on the screen to strengthen the attack power assigned upward. Further, in the example of FIG. 11, the user can also perform the slide operation V2 in the downward left direction (the direction between the MP and the defensive power) on the screen, and the MP and the defensive power can be strengthened at the same time. The degree of strengthening increases according to the length of the slide operation, and the consumption of strengthening points also increases. In the example of FIG. 11, since the slide operation V1 is longer than the slide operation V2, the attack power is greatly enhanced rather than the MP and the defense power. Here, when the user presses and holds the center of the screen for a long time, all the parameters may be strengthened evenly with a size corresponding to the time of the long press.

In the above embodiment, one threshold value is provided, and the process is executed or canceled depending on whether or not the distance from the start point to the end point of the slide operation exceeds the threshold value (see FIG. 6B). .. Here, there may be a plurality of threshold values. Then, each of the plurality of threshold values may be used in the execution determination of different processes.

For example, suppose that two processes, "synthesis" and "sale", are associated with each other in one direction. Then, it is assumed that a first threshold value and a second threshold value larger than the first threshold value are provided. The control unit 13 determines that both of the two processes have been canceled when the distance from the start point to the end point of the user's slide operation is equal to or less than the first threshold value. Further, the control unit 13 executes "synthesis" on the selected game medium when the distance exceeds the first threshold value and is equal to or less than the second threshold value. Further, when the distance exceeds the second threshold value, the control unit 13 executes "sale" instead of "synthesis" for the selected game medium. In this way, by providing a plurality of threshold values corresponding to each of the plurality of processes, it is possible to associate the plurality of processes in one direction. Then, since more processes can be associated without increasing the number of slide orientations, a user interface that enables more efficient operation can be realized. At this time, a plurality of processes may be associated with the longitudinal direction (for example, the vertical direction) of the display unit 12. In other words, one process may be associated with the orientation of the display unit 12 in the lateral direction (for example, the left-right orientation). By adjusting the number of processes associated with one orientation according to the shape of the display unit 12, a user interface that is even easier to operate is realized even in the information processing device 1 having the display unit 12 having a relatively small size. can.

In the above embodiment, the user's slide operation is executed on the touch panel. However, the slide operation is not limited to the contact operation and may be executed in space (in the air). For example, the operation unit 10 may include a sensor that detects the movement of the user's finger or the like. Then, the operation unit 10 may input a locus drawn by a user's finger or the like in the space. Further, for example, the operation unit 10 may be an operation device (controller) operated by the user. Then, the locus of the operating device that has moved in space between the time when the user pushes the button of the operating device (controller) and the time when the button is released may be an input operation. The point where the button is pushed and the point where it is released may correspond to the start point and end point, respectively. Further, the direction from the start point to the end point in the space may be determined not only in the vertical and horizontal directions (directions on one plane) but also in the front and depth directions.

In the above embodiment, when a slide operation satisfying a predetermined condition (for example, a length exceeding a threshold value and no intentional change of orientation) is performed, one process is immediately executed. .. Here, even if a slide operation satisfying a predetermined condition is performed, the process may be executed when the preparation for the process is performed the first time and the user again performs the slide operation in the same direction. For example, assume that the processing associated with the direction of the slide operation performed by the user is the warehouse. At this time, the storage in the warehouse is not executed in the first slide operation, and the preparation screen may be displayed. The preparation screen may include, for example, the selected game medium and a confirmation message "Are you sure you want to save?". Further, as the operation for executing the process performed by the user after the first slide operation, instead of the slide operation in the same direction, a long press, a stop of the slide operation for a predetermined time, or the like may be used.

In the above embodiment, what is associated with the direction of the slide operation is the process executed on the game medium. Here, cancellation may be associated with one direction of the slide operation. For example, cancellation may be associated with downward left regardless of the type of game medium. At this time, if it is noticed that there is an excess or deficiency in the selection of the game medium, the user can immediately cancel by performing a slide operation downward to the left. Further, the display of the help information 122 may be associated with one direction of the slide operation. For example, the display of the help information 122 may be associated with the display of the help information 122 in the upper left direction regardless of the type of the game medium. At this time, the user can immediately check the help information 122 at any time. Further, when preparations for processing (for example, preparations for a warehouse, preparations for sale, etc.) are performed as described above, the final execution may be associated with one direction of the slide operation. At this time, it becomes possible to execute the processes collectively after preparing for the plurality of processes.

In the above embodiment, one process is executed for the selected game medium in response to one input operation (slide) by the user. However, in response to the user's input operation of the slide in the plurality of stages, a plurality of different processes corresponding to the direction of the input operation in each stage may be executed. For example, after selecting an item (game medium), an "item composition" icon (or the above-mentioned prediction 123, etc.) may be displayed in response to an input operation of sliding to the right by a predetermined distance. After that, the process of "item normal composition" may be executed in response to the input operation of sliding further to the right by a predetermined distance. On the other hand, here, the process of "item special composition" may be executed in response to the input operation of sliding down a predetermined distance instead of right. Further, here, the "item composition" icon may be deleted and the execution of the composition process may be canceled in response to the input operation of sliding a predetermined distance to the left instead of right or bottom.

In the above embodiment, when the user presses and holds the game medium after selecting the game medium, the help information 122 is shown on the display unit 12. Here, the operation for displaying the help information 122 on the display unit 12 is not limited to the long press. For example, when the user draws a specific figure or the like (for example, a circle, a triangle, etc.), the help information 122 may be displayed on the display unit 12. Further, when the operation unit 10 is provided with a pressure sensor and determines the depth according to the pressure of the user's input operation (input level facing backward when viewed from the user), the depth information (depth information (in the input operation data)) is included in the input operation data. Pressure value) may be included. Then, the control unit 13 treats the input operation as a tap and slide operation when the depth of the input operation is the first level, and displays the help information 122 when the depth of the input operation is the second level. good.

In the above embodiment, the display area 121 for displaying the game medium is a part of the display unit 12. Here, the entire display unit 12 may be the display area 121. Even in this case, the user can perform various processes on the selected game medium by performing the slide operation in the display area 121. Then, the number of game media that can be displayed in the display area 121 can be increased most.

In the above embodiment, if the end point of the slide operation is not specified, one process is not executed. However, even if the end point of the slide operation is not specified, one process is performed when the length of the trajectory of the slide operation reaches a predetermined length (for example, a length corresponding to the threshold Th of FIG. 6A). May be executed.

In the above embodiment, a threshold value having a predetermined length is provided, and the process is executed or canceled depending on whether or not the distance from the start point to the end point of the slide operation exceeds the threshold value (FIG. 6 (FIG. 6). B) See). Here, speed may be used instead of distance. At this time, the threshold value may also be set to be a predetermined speed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the server device that communicates with the information processing device 1 may execute a part or all of the operations and processes executed by the control unit 13 of the information processing device 1. For example, the display control of the screen displayed on the display unit 12 of the information processing device 1 may be executed by either the information processing device 1 or the server device, and the information processing device 1 and the server device cooperate with each other. You may do it.

Further, in the above embodiment, a part of the game screen is displayed on the display unit 12 of the information processing device 1 based on the data generated by the server device, and a part of the game screen is displayed on the information processing device 1. It may be a native display displayed by an installed native application. As described above, the game according to the above-described embodiment may be a hybrid game in which the information processing device 1 and the server device each play a part in the processing.

Further, in order to function as the information processing device 1 or the server device, for example, a computer, a mobile phone, or the like can be preferably used. The information processing device 1 or the server device can be realized by storing a program describing the processing contents for realizing each of the above functions in an accessible storage unit, and reading and executing the program by the CPU.
