[0019] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or equivalent components and parts are given the same reference numerals. In addition, the dimensional ratios of the drawings are exaggerated for the convenience of explanation and may differ from the actual ratios.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a game system 1 according to the present embodiment. The game system 1 includes a plurality of mobile terminals 10A, 10B, and 10C, which are an example of an information processing device of the present disclosure, and a server 20. The plurality of mobile terminals 10A, 10B, and 10C are an example of a user terminal of the present disclosure. The plurality of mobile terminals 10A, 10B, and 10C and the server 20 are communicatively connected via a network 30. In the following description, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the mobile terminals 10A, 10B, and 10C, they are simply referred to as mobile terminals 10.

[0021] In the example of Fig. 1, mobile terminals 10A and 10B connect to network 30 by wirelessly communicating with wireless base station 40A based on a mobile communication system standard such as 4G or 5G. Mobile terminal 10C connects to network 30 by wirelessly communicating with wireless base station 40B based on a mobile communication system standard such as 4G or 5G. Note that mobile terminal 10 may connect to network 30 by wirelessly communicating with a wireless router installed in a facility such as a house, a store, or a public facility. Mobile terminal 10 is a terminal equipped with a touch panel, and may be, for example, a smartphone, a phablet, or a tablet.

[0022] The mobile terminal 10 executes the recorded game program. The mobile terminal 10 downloads and installs the game program from, for example, a platform (app store) that distributes apps and the like. The mobile terminal 10 provides the user with an environment for playing the game in response to the execution of the game program. The mobile terminal 10 executes a game program installed in the mobile terminal 10 by the user's operation or a game program pre-installed at the time of shipment, thereby enabling the user to play the game. The mobile terminal 10 communicates with the server 20 by reading and executing the game program. As the user plays the game, data related to the game is transmitted and received between the mobile terminal 10 and the server 20 in response to the progress of the game on the mobile terminal 10. A game is a collection of activities and rules for playing or competing. For example, a game is played by a player making full use of strategies and techniques to achieve a specific objective. A game is played to achieve various objectives, for example, a competitive objective such as winning, a combat objective such as defeating an enemy, an educational objective such as learning, and a narrative objective such as completing the progress of a scenario. Games may be competitive or non-competitive.

[0023] The server 20 transmits data necessary for playing the game on the mobile terminal 10 to the mobile terminal 10 as appropriate. The data necessary for playing the game on the mobile terminal 10 is transmitted from the server 20, thereby progressing the game play on the mobile terminal 10. The server 20 manages various data related to the game of each user who plays the game on the mobile terminal 10. The server 20 communicates with the mobile terminal 10, and transmits images, audio, text data, and other data to the mobile terminal 10 according to the progress of the game of each user. Note that, although the server 20 is included as a configuration of the game system 1, the server is not a required configuration for the game system in the present disclosure. In other words, the present disclosure is also applicable to a game program that does not communicate with a server.

[0024] The game program executed on the mobile terminal 10 supports single play in which one user plays, and multiplay in which multiple users play together. In the game system 1, the server 20 identifies users participating in the multiplay and communicates with each mobile terminal 10 of each user, thereby providing each user with an environment for playing a game in multiplay.

[0025] The following describes the hardware configuration of the server 20. The server 20 includes a processor 21, a memory 22, a storage 23, a communication interface (I / F) 24, and an input / output interface (I / F) 25. Each component is connected via a bus 29 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0026] The processor 21 is a central processing unit, and executes various programs and controls each part. That is, the processor 21 reads a program from the memory 22 or the storage 23, and executes the program using the memory 22 as a working area.

The processor 21 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and the like.

[0027] The memory 22 is a storage device for storing data and the like used for various processes in the server 20. For example, the memory 22 provides the processor 21 with a working area for temporary use when the processor 21 performs processing. The memory 22 is configured to include storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory).

[0028] The storage 23 is configured with a storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), or a flash memory, and stores various programs including an operating system, and various data. Information stored in the storage 23 includes game programs, information related to game programs, information on users who play game programs, and other information.

[0029] The communication I / F 24 is compatible with various communication standards such as LAN (Local Area Network) standards, and functions as an interface for transmitting and receiving data via the network 30 to and from an external communication device such as the mobile terminal 10.

[0030] The input / output I / F 25 functions as an interface for accepting input of information to the server 20 and outputting information to the outside of the server 20. The input / output I / F 25 includes an input unit that accepts connection of input devices such as a mouse and a keyboard, and an output unit that accepts connection of output devices such as a display for displaying characters, images, and the like.

[0031] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal 10. As shown in FIG.

[0032] 2, the mobile terminal 10 includes a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, a storage 14, an input unit 15, a display unit 16, a communication interface (I / F) 17, a positioning unit 18A, and a sensor unit 18B. Each component is connected to each other via a bus 19 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0033] The CPU 11 is a central processing unit, and executes various programs and controls each part. That is, the CPU 11 reads a program from the ROM 12 or the storage 14, and executes the program using the RAM 13 as a working area. The CPU 11 controls each of the above-mentioned components and performs various arithmetic processing according to the program recorded in the ROM 12 or the storage 14. In this embodiment, the storage 14 stores a game program 14A as an information processing program of the present disclosure. The game program 14A is installed in the mobile terminal 10 by being downloaded from a platform (app store) that distributes apps and the like. When the CPU 11 executes the game program 14A, the mobile terminal 10 communicates with the server 20 as appropriate, and data required for the game provided by the game program 14A is transmitted and received between the mobile terminal 10 and the server 20.

[0034] The ROM 12 stores various programs and various data. The RAM 13 temporarily stores programs or data as a working area. The storage 14 is configured with a storage device such as an SSD or a flash memory, and stores various programs including an operating system, and various data.

[0035] The input unit 15 includes a pointing device such as a mouse, and a keyboard, and is used to perform various input operations.

[0036] The display unit 16 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays various information. The display unit 16 may function as the input unit 15 by adopting a touch panel system.

[0037] The communication interface 17 is an interface for communicating with other devices such as the server 20. For this communication, for example, a mobile communication system standard such as 4G or 5G, or a wireless communication standard such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark) is used.

[0038] Positioning unit 18A includes a positioning module that uses a satellite positioning system such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) module or a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module, and measures the position information of mobile terminal 10 based on a satellite positioning signal.

[0039] Sensor unit 18B is, for example, a three-dimensional acceleration sensor, and is used to change the display orientation of display unit 16 by measuring the tilt of mobile terminal 10, or to measure the number of steps taken by the user carrying mobile terminal 10.

[0040] When executing the above game program 14A, the mobile terminal 10 realizes various functions using the above hardware resources. The functions realized by the mobile terminal 10 will be described below. The functions described below are realized by the CPU 11 reading and executing the game program 14A stored in the storage 14.

[0041] First, a game system provided by the game program 14A in this embodiment will be described. The game provided by the game program 14A is a location information game using the user's location information, i.e., location information acquired by the mobile terminal 10 owned by the user, and is a game in which a user character moves on a map based on the location information of the mobile terminal 10. Enemy characters are placed at predetermined locations on the map, and the user character can obtain experience values ​​or points by defeating the enemy characters. Also, items are placed at predetermined locations on the map, and the user character can obtain currency or items that can be used in the game by reaching the location where the item is placed. Experience values, points, currency, and items are examples of rewards in the present disclosure.

[0042] The game provided by the game program 14A has a plurality of game modes, including a game mode in which the user operates the mobile terminal 10 to fight against enemy characters or acquire items, and a game mode in which the user does not operate the mobile terminal 10 but leaves the operation of the user character to the game to fight against enemy characters or acquire items. Hereinafter, the former mode is referred to as a normal mode, and the latter mode is referred to as a delegation mode. The delegation mode is an example of a so-called smartphone walking prevention function. That is, the delegation mode is an example of one game mode of the present disclosure, and is a game mode intended to reduce the need for the user to see or operate the game compared to other game modes. Examples of cases in which the need for seeing is reduced include background playback, fixing the game screen, and stopping the drawing process, and examples of cases in which the need for operation is reduced include automating the operation. In the delegation mode, as long as the game is running on the mobile terminal 10, even if the mobile terminal 10 is in a sleep state, the operation of the user character by the game continues, and the enemy character is automatically fought and items are acquired. The game provided by the game program 14A has a delegation mode, which makes it possible to inhibit the user from operating the game while walking.

[0043] However, even if the game provided by the game program 14A has a delegation mode, if the user frequently operates the mobile terminal 10 to cancel the delegation mode and check the game status, the purpose of the delegation mode, which is to prevent the user from operating the mobile terminal 10 while walking, will not be achieved.

[0044] Therefore, in order to motivate the user to refrain from operating the mobile terminal 10 while walking, the game program 14A according to this embodiment executes a process of changing the reward so that the game progress is favorable when the delegation mode is continued within a predetermined range, compared with the total reward when the delegation mode is interrupted.

[0045] Specifically, the game program 14A according to the present embodiment increases the rewards obtained on the movement path of the mobile terminal 10 while the delegation mode is continued, when a predetermined movement condition is satisfied, compared to the rewards expected to be obtained in the same game situation when the delegation mode is interrupted. That is, if a predetermined movement condition is satisfied on the movement path of the mobile terminal 10, the game program 14A increases the experience points obtained when the delegation mode is continued, compared to the experience points obtained when the delegation mode is interrupted, when the same enemy character is defeated. Also, even if the same item is acquired on the movement path of the mobile terminal 10, the game program 14A increases the currency obtained when the delegation mode is continued, compared to the currency obtained when the delegation mode is interrupted, when a predetermined movement condition is satisfied.

[0046] The specified movement condition may be, for example, that the straight-line distance from the point where the user starts the delegation mode (first point) to the point where the user ends the delegation mode (second point) is greater than or equal to a specified value, and that the time from when the user starts the delegation mode to when the user ends the delegation mode is greater than or equal to a specified time.

[0047] The predetermined movement condition may further be that the number of steps measured by the sensor unit 18B of the mobile terminal 10 while moving from the first location to the second location is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The game program 14A may obtain the number of steps measured by the sensor unit 18B of the mobile terminal 10 while moving from the first location to the second location by subtracting the step value at the time the delegation mode is started from the step value at the time the delegation mode is ended.

[0048] In this embodiment, by using the linear movement distance as the movement condition, the game program 14A can determine whether the movement condition is satisfied by simply having the positioning unit 18A measure the position at the time when the delegation mode is started and ended. In other words, the game program 14A according to this embodiment may not acquire position information during the delegation mode.

[0049] In other words, in order to motivate the user to refrain from operating the mobile terminal 10 while walking, the game program 14A of this embodiment executes a process to increase the reward acquired during the continuation of the delegation mode by a predetermined amount along the user's movement route from the first point to the second point when the user continues playing the location information game in the delegation mode from an arbitrary first point to an arbitrary second point and satisfies a predetermined movement condition.

[0050] In this way, by making the reward that can be obtained while continuing the delegation mode, upon satisfying a predetermined movement condition, greater than the reward that can be obtained if the delegation mode is intermittently engaged, the game program 14A according to this embodiment can motivate the user to refrain from operating the mobile terminal 10 while walking.

[0051] The game program 14A may provide a bonus that gradually increases the amount of reward increase in order to increase the motivation of the user to refrain from operating the mobile terminal 10 while walking. For example, the game program 14A may gradually increase the amount of reward increase each time an increase condition is satisfied, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0052] [Table 1]

[0053] In the example of Table 1, if the increase condition of step 1 is satisfied in the delegation mode, the game program 14A gives the user character 5% more experience points than the experience points that would have been obtained if the delegation mode had been intermittent, even if the same enemy character was defeated. If the increase condition of step 2 is satisfied in the delegation mode, the game program 14A gives the user character 10% more experience points than the experience points that would have been obtained if the delegation mode had been intermittent, even if the same enemy character was defeated. Furthermore, if the increase condition of step 3 is satisfied in the delegation mode, the game program 14A gives the user character 20% more experience points than the experience points that would have been obtained if the delegation mode had been intermittent, even if the same enemy character was defeated.

[0054] Of course, the reward increase conditions and increase amounts shown in Table 1 are merely examples, and may be set appropriately depending on the game provided by the game program 14A. It goes without saying that the reward increase levels are not limited to three. The game program 14A may also set an upper limit on the reward increase steps or increase amounts.

[0055] The game program 14A may display on the display unit 16 the increase conditions for gradually increasing the amount of increase in reward and the achievement status until the increase conditions are reached. Figs. 3 and 4 are diagrams showing examples of information displayed on the display unit 16 by the game program 14A. Fig. 3 shows an example in which the game program 14A displays on the display unit 16 information on the current delegation continuation bonus step, the amount of increase in reward, the next step up bonus (amount of increase in reward), the moving distance, time, and number of steps during the delegation continuation, and the moving distance, time, and number of steps that satisfy the increase conditions until the step up. Fig. 3 also shows an example in which the delegation release button 101 for releasing the delegation is displayed on the display unit 16 by the game program 14A.

[0056] By looking at the information displayed on the display unit 16 as in Fig. 3, the user can understand that if he or she walks another 5 minutes, another 100 meters, and another 200 steps without canceling the delegation mode, the reward will increase by 5%. Therefore, by displaying the information as in Fig. 3 on the display unit 16, the game program 14A can make the user refrain from canceling the delegation mode, that is, can increase the user's motivation to refrain from operating the mobile terminal 10 while walking.

[0057] When the user selects the delegation release button 101, the game program 14A resets the moving distance, time, and number of steps during the ongoing delegation.

[0058] Then, when the user achieves the increase condition of step 1, the game program 14A displays the next increase condition on the display unit 16 as shown in Fig. 4. By looking at the information displayed on the display unit 16 as shown in Fig. 4, the user can understand that the reward will increase by 10% if the user walks another 10 minutes, 300 meters, and 600 steps without canceling the delegation mode. Therefore, by displaying the information as shown in Fig. 4 on the display unit 16, the game program 14A can increase the user's motivation to refrain from operating the mobile terminal 10 while walking.

[0059] It goes without saying that examples of the reward increase conditions and achievement status presented by the game program 14A are not limited to those shown in Figures 3 and 4. For example, the game program 14A may present the achievement status in the form of a bar graph instead of or in addition to numerical values.

[0060] When the user satisfies the condition for stepping up, the game program 14A may notify the user that the bonus has been stepped up, using the notification function of the mobile terminal 10. In addition, the game program 14A may notify the user of information on the travel distance, time, and number of steps that satisfy the condition for stepping up, using the notification function of the mobile terminal 10, at any timing.

[0061] Next, the operation of the mobile terminal 10 will be described.

[0062] Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of information processing by the mobile terminal 10. The CPU 11 reads out the game program 14A from the ROM 12 or the storage 14, expands it in the RAM 13, and executes it to perform information processing. The flowchart shown in Fig. 5 is always executed while the game program 14A is being executed.

[0063] In step S101, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the user has set the delegation mode during play in the normal mode. If the user has not set the delegation mode (step S101; No), the CPU 11 continues the normal mode. On the other hand, if the user has set the delegation mode (step S101; Yes), the CPU 11 executes play in the delegation mode in step S102.

[0064] Next, in step S103, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the user has cancelled the delegation mode while playing in the delegation mode. If the user has not cancelled the delegation mode (step S103; No), the CPU 11 continues the delegation mode.

[0065] On the other hand, if the user cancels the delegation mode (step S103; Yes), the CPU 11 determines in step S104 whether or not the user satisfies a predetermined movement condition while the delegation mode is set.

[0066] If the user satisfies the predetermined movement condition while the delegation mode is set (step S104; Yes), the CPU 11 then increases the reward acquired on the user's movement route by a predetermined amount while the delegation mode is set in step S105. On the other hand, if the user does not satisfy the predetermined movement condition while the delegation mode is set (step S104; No), the CPU 11 then does not increase the reward acquired on the user's movement route while the delegation mode is set in step S106.

[0067] By executing the process, the mobile terminal 10 according to the present embodiment can increase the reward obtained while the delegation mode is continued, when a predetermined movement condition is satisfied, compared to the reward obtained when the delegation mode is intermittent. Therefore, the mobile terminal 10 according to the present embodiment can motivate the user to suppress the operation of the mobile terminal 10 while walking, during the execution of the game program 14A.

[0068] In this embodiment, the game program 14A is a program for a position information game, but the present disclosure is not limited to this example. Even if the game program does not use position information, it is possible to apply the present disclosure in the same manner if the game program has multiple game modes, sets one game mode that reduces the need for the user to see or operate the game to play the game compared to other game modes, and grants the user a reward corresponding to the one game mode, and changes the reward so that the game progress is favorable when the one game mode is continued within a predetermined range compared to the total reward when the one game mode is interrupted. If the game program does not use position information, for example, when the duration of the one game mode exceeds a predetermined time, the reward may be changed so that the game progress is favorable compared to the total reward when the one game mode is interrupted.

[0069] Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to such examples.
