[0110] The game processing unit 218 performs processes such as starting game content (e.g., a game) when a start condition is satisfied, progressing the game content, placing objects such as a character to be controlled by the player, enemy characters, and other characters, displaying objects, calculating the result of the game content (e.g., the game result), and terminating the game content when a termination condition is satisfied.

[0111] When a player plays a competitive game against a computer, a game control unit 218 progresses the game based on information on the player's operation input received by the operation input receiving unit 217 and information controlled by the computer.

[0112] When a competitive game is played between real players, the game processing unit 218 progresses the game according to information on the operation input of the first player accepted by the operation input accepting unit 217 of the terminal device 20A and information on the operation input of the second player on the terminal device 20B, which is information transmitted from the terminal device 20B of the second player.

[0113] The game processing unit 218 controls the movement and actions of a character operated by a player, based on input information of the player inputted via an input unit 260 (for example, an operation input unit 263).

[0114] The game processing unit 218 may perform movement control and action control on the character operated by the player, enemy characters, and other characters, based on various information (game information) related to the game transmitted from the server device 10.

[0115] Furthermore, the game processing unit 218 may receive movement information and action information of non-player characters from the server device 10, and control the movement and action of the non-player characters based on the movement information and action information.

[0116] For example, the game processing unit 218 may execute a battle game in which characters attack and defend against each other, reducing the vitality values ​​of both characters, and the winner is determined based on the vitality values ​​of both characters.

[0117] In addition, the game processing unit 218 may perform processing to move objects such as characters within an object space or control the actions (motion, animation) of characters based on game information transmitted from the server device 10 and input data or a program (movement algorithm) and various data (motion data) input by the player via the input unit 260 (e.g., the operation input unit 263).

[0118] Furthermore, the game processing unit 218 may be executed in conjunction with the server device 10, or a part or the whole of the game processing unit 218 may be formed in the server device 10.

[0119] Furthermore, the game processing unit 218 may perform game processing based on information received from the server device 10. Furthermore, the game processing unit 218 may transmit information such as game results to the server device 10.

[0120] The providing unit 219 performs a process of providing an image to a player, for example, a process of displaying an image on the display unit 290 of the terminal device 20.

[0121] The providing unit 219 may display the video received from the server device 10. The providing unit 219 may display display information or a screen using a Web browser. The providing unit may be referred to as a display control unit or a presentation unit.

[0122] The providing unit 219 may provide (display on the display unit 290) information required during the game based on information transmitted from the server device 10.

[0123] The image generation unit 230 performs drawing processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 200 , thereby generating an image, and outputs it to the display unit 290 .

[0124] That is, the image generating unit 230 generates an image (including a moving image) seen from a virtual camera in a virtual space.

[0125] The image generation unit 230 performs drawing processing based on various processes (for example, game processing) performed by the processing unit 200, thereby generating an image, which is output to the display unit 290. The image generated by the image generation unit 230 may be a so-called two-dimensional image, or a so-called three-dimensional image.

[0126] The image generating unit 230 may perform all or a part of the same processing as the image generating unit 130 of the server device 10. The image generating unit 230 may receive image data generated in the server device 10 and output it to the display unit 290.

[0127] The sound processing unit 240 performs sound processing based on the results of various processes performed in the processing unit 200, generates game sounds such as background music, sound effects, or voices, and outputs them to the sound output unit 292. Note that the sound processing unit 240 may perform all or a part of the same processes as the sound processing unit 140 of the server device 10. The sound processing unit 240 may receive sound data generated in the server device 10 and output it to the sound output unit 292.

[0128] The terminal device 20 of this embodiment may be controlled so that the game can be played in a single player mode in which only one player can play, or in a multiplayer mode in which multiple players can play. For example, when controlled in the multiplayer mode, game processing may be performed by transmitting and receiving data to and from other terminal devices 20 via a network, or one terminal device 20 may perform processing based on operation input from multiple input units 260 (operation input units 263).

[0129] In the case where the terminal device 20 of the present embodiment plays a game with a plurality of terminal devices 20 by P2P or the like, one terminal device 20 may act as a host and execute processing. In such a case, the terminal device 20 as the host may execute processing of each processing unit of the server device 10 (a part or all of each processing unit).

[0130] Furthermore, the terminal device 20 of the present embodiment may perform the same process as the server device 10 and display a screen on the display unit of the terminal device 20 .

[0131] [4] Overview The game system of this embodiment is a game system in which a player can participate. The game system proposes a recommended key configuration to the player based on the game situation of the player. Furthermore, the game system of this embodiment is a game system in which the player can set the key configuration by himself / herself.

[0132] In other words, the game system assists the player by suggesting changes to the key configuration or a new key configuration based on the analysis of the playing situation of each player. In this manner, in this embodiment, a recommended key configuration is suggested to the player, making it possible to further enhance the enjoyment of game play.

[0133] In this embodiment, automatic suggestions are made by a computer, and recommendations are made based on performance evaluations, which makes it possible to suggest key configurations that are more satisfying to players.

[0134] [5] Explanation of key configuration data The key configuration data is operation setting information based on operations assigned to the operation input unit 263 (for example, operation members such as keys, buttons, and levers of a controller) by which the player operates the game. In other words, key configuration is a function that enables customization of the assignment of game functions to the keys of a controller. Note that the operation input unit 263 is not limited to physical operation members such as keys, buttons, and levers of a controller.

[0135] For example, when the operation input unit 263 is a touch panel, the key configuration may be a function that allows customization of the allocation of functions to each operation area of ​​the touch panel. In other words, the key configuration data may be operation setting information based on the operations assigned to each operation area of ​​the touch panel.

[0136] Furthermore, the key configuration may be a function that, when the operation input unit 263 can detect the moving direction, angular velocity, and acceleration of the controller, enables customization of the allocation of functions to the detection results of the moving direction, angular velocity, and acceleration. In other words, the key configuration data may be operation setting information based on operation inputs that are assigned to the movements (e.g., shaking the controller vertically, shaking the controller horizontally, etc.) and attitudes (holding the controller vertically, tilting the controller from the vertical direction, etc.) of the controller.

[0137] Furthermore, if the operation input unit 263 can input voice, the key configuration may be a function that allows customizing the allocation of functions according to the voice input. In other words, the key configuration data may be operation setting information based on the voice input that is assigned to a voice.

[0138] Fig. 4 shows an example of key configuration data KA for the player PA. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, in this embodiment, motion information of a character's "jump" is assigned to the A button (an example of the operation input unit 263) of the controller of the terminal device 20, and motion information of a character's "punch" is assigned to the B button (an example of the operation input unit 263). At this time, the motion information of the jump assigned to the A button and the motion information of the punch assigned to the B button are regarded as key configuration data.

[0139] [6] Control of key configuration data The key configuration data control unit 111 sets changeable key configuration data, which is operation-based operation setting information, in association with the player for the operation input unit 263 through which the player operates the game.

[0140] The key configuration data control unit 111 also sets default key configuration data and key configuration data changed by the player. The default key configuration data refers to key configuration data set in the initial state, or standard key configuration data set in advance.

[0141] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of operation input units 263 may be provided. For example, in this embodiment, key configuration data is set for each of some or all of the operation input units 263. Setting refers to storing the key configuration data of a player in the key configuration data storage unit 174 (or in a broader sense, the storage unit 170) in association with the player ID of the player.

[0142] In this embodiment, default key configuration data may be set in advance for each player, or key configuration data may be set based on operation input by the player.

[0143] That is, in this embodiment, in the initial state, one key configuration data may be selected from a plurality of pre-prepared key configuration data automatically by computer control or based on the player's operation input, and the selected key configuration data may be used. Also, in this embodiment, in the initial state, one pre-prepared key configuration data may be used.

[0144] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the key configuration data may be changed for each of some or all of the operation input units 263. The change refers to changing some or all of the key configuration data of the player that is stored in the key configuration data storage unit 174 and associated with the player's player ID.

[0145] In this embodiment, the key configuration data may be changed for each player based on computer control, or based on operation input by the player.

[0146] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the key configuration data control unit 111 stores the key configuration data in the key configuration data storage unit 174 in association with the player ID for each player.

[0147] It should be noted that key configuration data storage unit 174 is a storage area of ​​server device 10. The storage area for key configuration data is not limited to key configuration data storage unit 174, and may be a storage area on the Internet (on the cloud) managed by server device 10.

[0148] In the initial state, the server device 10 stores the initial settings of the key configuration data in the key configuration data storage unit 174. Also, in the initial state, the terminal device 20 stores the initial settings of the key configuration data in the key configuration data storage unit 274 (or, in a broader sense, the storage unit 270) of the terminal device 20.

[0149] When the terminal device 20 receives changed key configuration data based on the player's operation input or computer control (CPU control), the terminal device 20 stores the changed key configuration data in the key configuration data storage unit 274. The server device 10 transmits the player ID and the changed key configuration data to the server device 10 via the player ID receiving message .0, and the server device 10 updates and sets the key configuration data corresponding to the player ID to the changed key configuration data.

[0150] Furthermore, the key configuration data control unit 111 may store history information of the key configuration data of each player in the key configuration data storage unit 174. That is, the key configuration data storage unit 174 stores history information of the key configuration data of the player in association with the player ID of the player.

[0151] [7] Explanation of memory for play situations The storage processing unit 112 associates the key configuration data of each player with the playing status of that player, and stores the playing status of each player in the storage unit 170 as a playing status group.

[0152] [7.1] Description of the play situation The playing status includes at least one of the following when playing with the player's key configuration data: techniques activated, specific successful inputs, the total playing period during which the player's key configuration data is continuously used, the player's operating tendencies, and the clearing status of specific stages.

[0153] The "activated technique" may be the activated technique itself (for example, a continuous technique such as a punch, kick, or combo) or includes at least one of the timing at which the technique was activated (the technique was used).

[0154] The "successful specific input" includes, for example, at least one of information on a successful specific command input, an input related to a successful sequential action, and the timing of a successful specific input.

[0155] A "continuous action" is a plurality of actions that satisfy a predetermined continuation condition, and may also be called a "combo," "continuous attack," or "continuous technique."

[0156] For example, when the player PA wants the controlled character OB1 to perform combo A, the player PA inputs a right punch command (e.g., the A button) twice, and then inputs a left kick command (e.g., the B button) once, within three seconds.

[0157] For example, in order to activate combo A, it is necessary to input commands for three actions, a right punch, a right punch, and a left kick, consecutively within a continuous action period (for example, within 3 seconds).

[0158] An example of a successful combo A is as follows. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, at timing T21, a right punch action is started based on a command operation input of a right punch action of the first character OB1 by the player PA. If the right punch of the first character OB1 hits the second character OB2 (opponent character, enemy character) at timing T22, the right punch is successful. When the second character OB2 is hit by the first character OB1, it becomes in a stiff state for several frames and is defenseless in that the operation input is not reflected. Then, at timing T23, a right punch action is started based on a command operation input of the right punch action of the first character OB1 by the player P1. If the right punch of the first character OB1 hits the second character OB2 at timing T24, the right punch is successful. Then, at timing T25, a left kick action is started based on a command operation input of a left kick action of the first character OB1 by the player P1. If the left kick of the first character OB1 hits the second character OB2 at timing T26, the left kick is successful, and thus the combo A is successful.

[0159] The "total playing period during which the player's key configuration data is continuously used" is, for example, the period during which the player PA continues to play the game using the key configuration data KA without changing it from the time T30 when the player PA sets the key configuration data KA.

[0160] "Player's operation tendency" is information such as the player's gameplay habits, such as an aggressive tendency to aggressively attack the opponent, or a conservative tendency to play defensively.

[0161] The "clearance status of a specific stage" includes at least one of information on whether the specific stage has been cleared, information on the stage (stage name, stage identification information), and difficulty level. Note that the clear status may be rephrased as the progress status.

[0162] For example, it is information on whether or not the boss battle stage SP has been cleared. Note that a stage is a unit of gameplay, and may also be called a quest or a mission.

[0163] In addition, the "play situation" may include in-game items (e.g., characters, equipment, materials, etc.).

[0164] Furthermore, the "play situation" may include each operation input unit 263 (keys such as the A button and the B button).

[0165] Furthermore, the "play situation" may include each operation content (jump, crouch, etc.).

[0166] As a result, in this embodiment, for example, a group of players whose characters are equipped with specific items may be subject to analysis.

[0167] In addition, in this embodiment, for example, a group of players who use a specific technique may be analyzed. More specifically, in this embodiment, for example, it may be analyzed which key configuration data is used for each type of technique.

[0168] In this embodiment, the play situation may be used as a threshold for determining whether or not to include a game in the analysis target.

[0169] [7.2] Memory of play situations 7, the storage processing unit 112 stores the play status for each player ID in the storage unit 170. The play status for each player ID managed by the player is defined as a play status group.

[0170] In this embodiment, the key configuration data of each player is stored in the storage unit 170 in association with the playing situation of that player.

[0171] To give a specific example, in the case of player PA, the storage processing unit 112 stores in the storage unit 170 the key configuration data KA of the player PA and the playing situation SA of the player in association with each other.

[0172] In this embodiment, the play situation group may be stored in the key configuration data storage unit 174, or may be stored in a storage area different from the key configuration data storage unit 174 (for example, the game information storage unit 172).

[0173] [7.3] Explanation of play results A play result is a game result based on the playing situation, for example, a score in a certain period of time or Achievements, etc. Specifically, the play result is a result such as clearing the game (success) or failing, a win or loss result, a ranking, a score, etc.

[0174] The storage processing unit 112 stores in the storage unit 170 the playing status of each player and the game results associated with that playing status.

[0175] [7.4] Memory of play results The storage processing unit 112 may store, for each player, the play results of the player along with the play situation of the player in association with the key configuration data of the player.

[0176] For example, in this embodiment, the play situation (timing TA when a punch technique is executed) and the result associated with the play situation are stored in association with the key configuration data KA of the player PA as shown in Fig. 7. The result associated with the play situation is, for example, the result of the success or failure of the punch, the game result of whether or not the stage ST1 where the punch technique was executed was cleared, etc.

[0177] [8] Analysis The analysis unit 113 analyzes whether or not the key configuration data of the player needs to be changed based on the playing situation of the player.

[0178] [8.1] Analysis of play status The analysis unit 113 may analyze the playing status of the player. For example, when playing with the player's key configuration data, the analysis unit 113 may analyze at least one of the following: an activated technique, a successful specific input, a total playing period during which the player has continued playing without changing the key configuration, the player's operating tendency, and the progress of a specific stage.

[0179] Furthermore, the analysis unit 113 may analyze whether or not a change to the player's key configuration data is necessary based on the analyzed playing situation of the player. For example, the analysis unit 113 may analyze whether or not a change to the player's key configuration data is necessary based on at least one of the following when playing with the player's key configuration data: an activated technique, a specific successful input, a total playing period during which the player's key configuration has not been changed, the player's operation tendency, and the progress of a specific stage.

[0180] [8.2] Analysis of play results The analysis unit 113 may analyze the playing results of the player along with the playing status of the player.

[0181] Furthermore, the analysis unit 113 may analyze the playing results of other players in accordance with the playing status of the other players.

[0182] Furthermore, the analysis unit 113 may perform analysis based on at least one of a play result of a player associated with the playing status of the player and a play result of another player associated with the playing status of the other player.

[0183] In other words, the analysis unit 113 may analyze whether or not a change to the player's key configuration data is necessary based on at least one of the playing results of the player associated with the player's playing status and the playing results of the other player associated with the playing status of the other player.

[0184] For example, in this embodiment, whether or not a given stage has been played, whether or not a given stage has been cleared, etc. are analyzed, and analysis is performed based on the playing status of the player who has cleared the stage, etc. .

[0185] A specific example will be described. For convenience of explanation, an analysis example for player PA will be described.

[0186] First, it is assumed that the player PA plays the game stage ST1, performs a punch technique at a timing TA in the stage ST1, and fails to clear the game stage ST1 due to the punch attack being unsuccessful.

[0187] In such a case, in this embodiment, data regarding the playing situation (e.g., scores, etc.) of other players who have cleared stage ST1 and / or other players who have successfully punched in stage ST1 is analyzed for each other player.

[0188] For example, in this embodiment, the key configuration data of the other player who has cleared stage ST1 and has the highest score is analyzed, and if the key configuration data of the other player who has the highest score differs from the key configuration data of player PA, it is determined that the key configuration data of player PA needs to be changed.

[0189] Also, for example, in this embodiment, the key configuration data of the other player who has successfully punched on stage ST1 and has the highest score is analyzed, and if the key configuration data of the other player who has the highest score differs from the key configuration data of player PA, it is determined that the key configuration data of player PA needs to be changed.

[0190] [8.3] Player Information The analysis unit 113 may perform analysis based on the player's information and / or information of other players.

[0191] That is, the analysis unit 113 may analyze whether or not the key configuration data of the player needs to be changed based on the information of the player and / or information of other players.

[0192] For example, the player information may be the player's gender, age, billing information (amount charged), hand size, finger length, regional information (country, region, prefecture, etc. where the game is played), etc. In other words, in this embodiment, the target players for the list data may be narrowed down based on the player information. For example, the population to be analyzed may be limited by gender or age group (e.g., men in their 30s).

[0193] For example, limited to males in their twenties, stage ST1 may be played by other players, and based on data regarding the playing status (e.g., scores, etc.) of other players who have cleared stage ST1, it may be analyzed whether or not the player's key configuration data needs to be changed.

[0194] Specifically, in this embodiment, the key configuration data of the other player who is a man in his 20s and has the highest score among the other players who have cleared stage ST1 is analyzed, and if the key configuration data of the other player who has the highest score differs from the key configuration data of player PA, it is determined that the key configuration data of player PA needs to be changed.

[0195] [9] Proposal The suggestion unit 114, when it is analyzed that a change in the key configuration data of the player is necessary, suggests changing the key configuration data and / or suggests key configuration data.

[0196] Here, "suggest" means to notify, display, provide, transmit, or present information to the player (player's terminal device 20). In other words, "suggest" may be interpreted as notifying, displaying, providing, transmitting, or presenting. In addition, the method of suggestion may be audio output.

[0197] [9.1] Proposal for changing key configuration data The suggestion may be, for example, a recommendation to the player to change the key configuration data. The key configuration data may be changed based on the player's own input, or the computer may change the key configuration data automatically. For example, there are players who have never changed the key configuration data, leaving it at the initial settings. Such players can be encouraged to change the key configuration data.

[0198] For example, if it is analyzed that the key configuration data of the player PA needs to be changed, a message MS1 urging the player PA to change the key configuration data, "Why not try changing your key configuration data?", is displayed on the screen GA1 of the terminal device 20 of the player PA, as shown in FIG. 8. In this way, the player PA can be given an opportunity to change the key configuration data. For example, if the player PA has many failed kick inputs and wants to perform kicks more carefully, the assignment of the action information of the A button can be changed from "jump" to "kick." In this way, in this embodiment, the player PA can be urged to change the key configuration data.

[0199] [9.2] Proposal for key configuration data Furthermore, the suggestion may mean to recommend new key configuration data. In other words, in this embodiment, new key configuration data after the change may be suggested.

[0200] New key configuration data may be set based on input by the player himself, or the computer may automatically set new key configuration data.

[0201] For example, when it is analyzed that the key configuration data of the player PA needs to be changed, new key configuration data KT after the change is displayed on the screen GA2 of the terminal device 20 of the player PA, as shown in Fig. 9. Note that in this embodiment, operation information corresponding to each operation input unit 263 (e.g., each operation member) of the new key configuration data KT after the change can be displayed.

[0202] In this embodiment, the pre-change, i.e., current key configuration data KA may be displayed on the screen GA2 of the terminal device 20 of the player PA. That is, in this embodiment, operation information corresponding to each operation input unit 263 (e.g., each operation member) of the current key configuration data KA may be made displayable.

[0203] Note that a message MS1 urging the player to change the key configuration data, such as "Why not try changing the key configuration data?", may be displayed on the screen GA2 of the terminal device 20 of the player PA, or the message MS1 may not be displayed.

[0204] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when an instruction to change the key configuration data is accepted, the key configuration data is stored in association with the player ID.

[0205] For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the player PA clicks on the "change key configuration data" button DE, in this embodiment, an instruction to change the key configuration data from the key configuration data KA to the key configuration data KT is accepted. In this embodiment, the key configuration data KT is stored in association with the player PA.

[0206] [9.2.1] Proposed key configuration data In this embodiment, the key configuration data proposed (presented) to a player includes at least a portion of the key configuration data of other players.

[0207] In this embodiment, when all of the key configuration data of another player is to be included in the sorting target (for example, when all key settings of each operating component are to be included in the sorting target), the key configuration data of the other player is copied (duplicated) as is and proposed.

[0208] In addition, in this embodiment, when part of another player's key configuration data is to be sorted (for example, when part of the key settings of each operating component is to be sorted), the other player's key configuration data is automatically and originally constructed and proposed.

[0209] For example, the key configuration data may be sorted by "key" such as the A button, and key configuration data for other players may be proposed.

[0210] Also, the data may be sorted based on the crouching "operation" criterion, and key configuration data for other players may be proposed.

[0211] Also, the key configuration data of other players may be proposed by sorting based on the "operation" criteria of combo A.

[0212] [9.2.2] Building key configuration data In this embodiment, key configuration data for other players may be automatically and originally constructed, and the constructed key configuration data may be proposed.

[0213] For example, in this embodiment, based on given numerical values, at least one of the average, median, and mode is calculated from the data of multiple players, and original key configuration data is automatically constructed by avoiding the following combinations (for example, by choosing combinations that do not cause problems).

[0214] For example, in this embodiment, there is a problem that the first key (first key priority assignment) of each operating member is duplicated, resulting in settings that cannot coexist. In this embodiment, original key configuration data is constructed to avoid such problematic combinations. More specifically, if "jump" and "crouch" are both A buttons and cannot coexist, original key configuration data is constructed by setting "jump" to the A button and "crouch" to the B button.

[0215] For example, in this embodiment, original key configuration data is constructed by combining the first-place keys (first-place key assignment priority) of each operating member to avoid physical problems (i.e., problems with commands that are physically difficult to generate, or commands that cannot be generated physically). More specifically, for example, if there is a command that is activated by simultaneously pressing the △ and × buttons on a controller, it is necessary to press the × button with the thumb and the △ with the index finger, and there is a moment when the right stick cannot be touched. In such a case, if "special technique C" is assigned to simultaneously pressing the △ and × buttons on the controller, original key configuration data is constructed without assigning a key to the right stick.

[0216] [9.3] Computer-generated suggestions The suggestion unit 114 proposes a key configuration based on given conditions under computer control. They may suggest changing the data and / or suggest key configuration data.

[0217] That is, in this embodiment, even if not requested by the player, a suggestion to change the key configuration data and / or key configuration data may be suggested automatically based on computer control.

[0218] [9.3.1] The playing status of a player and the results of that player’s play. For example, the given condition is a condition regarding at least one of a playing state of a player and a playing result associated with the playing state of the player.

[0219] In other words, in this embodiment, a suggestion to change the key configuration data and / or key configuration data may be proposed based on at least one of the player's playing status and the playing results associated with the player's playing status.

[0220] In other words, in this embodiment, a suggestion to change the key configuration data and / or key configuration data may be suggested based on the progress of the player's game.

[0221] (1) When input timing is late In this embodiment, for example, in combo A performed by character OB1, which is the object of operation of the player PA, if the input timing of the left kick action (motion) is late, a suggestion to change the key configuration data may be made. For example, a suggestion to change the assignment of the operating member for the left kick may be made. Specifically, a message saying "Why don't you try changing the key for the left kick?" is displayed on the screen of the player PA. Also, new key configuration data in which the operating member assigned to the left kick has been changed may be proposed. The suggestion may be made during the game. For example, the suggestion may be made at the time when it is determined that the timing of the left kick action is late. Also, the suggestion may be made at the end of the game in which the left kick action has been performed.

[0222] For example, in this embodiment, the number of times the key configuration data KA is set for the player PA and the results (success or failure of the combo) are stored as an example of the game situation for a predetermined period (e.g., one week) from the time when the key configuration data KA is set for the player PA (the time when the key configuration data KA is stored in association with the player ID of the player PA). Then, at the time when the predetermined period has elapsed, the game situation is analyzed. For example, the success rate of the combo (the number of successful combos out of the total number of combos), etc. are calculated.

[0223] Also, if the combo success rate is low (e.g., 20% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high combo success rate (e.g., another player with a combo success rate of 50% or more) may be proposed.

[0224] (2) Input error In this embodiment, if a punch delivered by the character OB1 operated by the player PA fails (i.e., if the punch delivered by the character OB1 does not hit the opponent character and fails), a suggestion to change the key configuration data may be made. For example, a suggestion to change the assignment of the operating member for punching may be made. Specifically, a message saying "Why not try changing the punch key?" is displayed on the screen of the player PA. Also, new key configuration data in which the operating member assigned to punching has been changed may be proposed. The suggestion may be made during the game. For example, it may be made when the punch fails. Also, the suggestion may be made at the end of the game in which the punch was input.

[0225] For example, in this embodiment, the number of times the player PA inputs commands and the results (success or failure) are stored as an example of the game situation for a predetermined period (e.g., one week) from the time when the key configuration data KA is set for the player PA (the time when the key configuration data KA is stored in association with the player ID of the player PA). Then, at the end of the predetermined period, the game situation is analyzed. For example, the success rate of command input (the number of successes relative to the total number of times the command is input) and the like are calculated.

[0226] Also, if the success rate of command input is low (e.g., 20% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high success rate of command input (e.g., another player with a success rate of command input of 50% or more) may be proposed.

[0227] (3) In case of low score In this embodiment, when the player PA's score (which may be the score of the character OB1 operated by the player PA) is below a predetermined point (for example, 20 points or less) while the player PA is playing the game (for example, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the game) or at the end of the game, a suggestion to change the key configuration data may be made. For example, a message saying "Why don't you try changing the key configuration data?" may be displayed on the screen of the player PA. New key configuration data may also be suggested. The suggestion may be made while the player PA is playing the game (for example, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the game) or at the end of the game.

[0228] For example, in this embodiment, the score of the player PA (an example of the game situation) is stored for a predetermined period (e.g., one week) from the time when the current key configuration data of the player PA is set (the time when the key configuration data KA is stored in association with the player ID of the player PA). Then, at the time when the predetermined period has elapsed, the score is analyzed. For example, the rate of change (rate of increase, rate of decrease) of the score is calculated.

[0229] For example, if the score is declining or the rate of increase in the score is low (e.g., 3% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high rate of increase in the score (e.g., 10% or more) may be proposed.

[0230] (4) If you cannot complete the game In this embodiment, if the player PA fails to clear a predetermined stage (for example, a boss battle stage SP), a suggestion to change the key configuration data may be made. For example, a message saying "Why don't you try changing the key configuration data?" may be displayed on the screen of the player PA. New key configuration data may also be suggested. The suggestion is made when it is determined that the predetermined stage cannot be cleared.

[0231] In this embodiment, if the player PA executes a specified stage multiple times (e.g., two or more times) and is unable to clear it all of the times, a suggestion to change the key configuration data and / or a suggestion to provide new key configuration data may be made.

[0232] For example, in this embodiment, the number of times the game stage of the player PA has been played and cleared (one example of the game status) is stored for a predetermined period (e.g., one week) from the time when the current key configuration data KA of the player PA was set (the time when the key configuration data KA was stored in association with the player ID of the player PA). For example, the completion rate (the ratio of the number of times the game has been completed to the number of times it has been played) is calculated.

[0233] For example, if the completion rate is low (e.g., 10% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high completion rate (e.g., another player with a completion rate of 50% or more) may be proposed.

[0234] [9.3.2] Player information for the player For example, the given condition is a condition related to the player's player information. That is, in this embodiment, a suggestion to change the key configuration data and / or the key configuration data may be suggested based on the player's player information (e.g., the player's growth factors).

[0235] In this embodiment, when a predetermined period of game play time of the player PA has elapsed since the start of the game (for example, when three hours have elapsed since the start of the game) and the level of the player PA is equal to or lower than a predetermined value (for example, level 3 or lower), a suggestion to change the key configuration data may be made. For example, a message saying "Why don't you try changing your key configuration data?" may be displayed on the screen of the player PA. New key configuration data may also be suggested. The suggestion may be made when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the game, or at a given time after the predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the game (at the time of login, at the time of the start of the game, at the time of the end of the game, etc.).

[0236] [9.3.3] Other players' playing status, playing results, and player information For example, the given condition is a condition regarding at least one of the playing status of the other player, the playing result associated with the playing status of the other player, and the player information of the other player.

[0237] In other words, in this embodiment, a suggestion to change the key configuration data and / or key configuration data may be proposed based on at least one of the playing status of other players, the playing results associated with the playing status of the other players, and the player information of the other players.

[0238] In this embodiment, for example, if the player PA fails (for example, if the input timing is incorrect, if the input is incorrect, if the score is low, if the game cannot be cleared, etc.), the key configuration data of another player who succeeded in the same playing situation as the player PA (for example, the same stage SP as the player PA) may be proposed to the player PA. In such a case, for example, if there are multiple other players who succeeded in the stage SP, the key configuration data with the largest number of settings among the multiple key configuration data of the multiple other players may be proposed to the player PA.

[0239] In addition, in this embodiment, key configuration data for a playing situation of another player who has a predetermined relationship (for example, a friend relationship) with the player PA may be proposed to the player PA.

[0240] In this embodiment, in order to defeat another player who has a predetermined relationship (eg, an enemy relationship) with the player PA, the key configuration data of the other player may be proposed to the player PA.

[0241] In this embodiment, when playing a game in cooperation with another player who has a predetermined relationship (for example, a friend relationship) with the player PA, the key configuration data of the other player may be proposed to the player PA.

[0242] In addition, in this embodiment, if another player who has a predetermined relationship (e.g., friend relationship) with the player PA performs well (e.g., scores above a predetermined value), the key configuration data of the other player may be suggested to the player PA.

[0243] [9.4] Suggestions based on player requests The suggestion unit 114 may suggest a change to the key configuration data and / or suggest key configuration data in response to a request from the player. The key configuration data to be suggested is similar to the suggestion method based on computer control.

[0244] For example, in this embodiment, key configuration data may be proposed based on at least one of the playing status of the player and the playing results associated with the playing status of the player.

[0245] In addition, in this embodiment, key configuration data may be proposed based on conditions related to the player information of the player.

[0246] In addition, in this embodiment, key configuration data may be proposed based on at least one of the play status of other players, the play results associated with the play status of the other players, and the player information of the other players.

[0247] For example, in this embodiment, the play situation specified by the player PA (e.g., boss battle stage SP) may be compared with the play situations of other players to analyze whether or not a change in key configuration data is necessary. Then, the play situation specified by the player PA (e.g., boss battle stage SP) may be compared with the play situations of other players (e.g., boss battle stage SP) (e.g., comparing the number of successful techniques of the player PA and other players, comparing the scores of the player PA and other players, etc.), and if it is analyzed that a change in the key configuration data of the player PA is necessary, key configuration data may be proposed to the player PA.

[0248] In this embodiment, for example, as shown in Fig. 10, a button CG for requesting a change to the key configuration data is displayed on a screen GA3 displayed on the terminal device 20 of the player PA. When the change button CG is clicked based on an instruction input by the player PA, a key configuration data change screen GA4 is displayed on the terminal device 20 of the player PA, as shown in Fig. 11.

[0249] In this embodiment, the new key configuration data KT after the change is displayed on the key configuration data change screen GA4. Note that in this embodiment, operation information corresponding to each operation input unit 263 (e.g., each operation member) of the new key configuration data KT after the change can be displayed.

[0250] In this embodiment, the pre-change, i.e., current, key configuration data KA may be displayed on the screen GA4 of the terminal device 20 of the player PA. That is, in this embodiment, operation information corresponding to each operation input unit 263 (e.g., each operation member) of the current key configuration data KA may be made displayable.

[0251] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when an instruction to change the key configuration data is accepted, the key configuration data is stored in association with the player ID.

[0252] For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the player PA clicks a "change key configuration data" button DE, the key configuration data is changed to the key configuration data in this embodiment. An instruction to change the figure data KA to the key configuration data KT is accepted. In this embodiment, the key configuration data KT is stored in association with the player PA.

[0253]

[10] Re-proposal The analysis unit 113 may analyze whether or not further changes to the key configuration data are necessary, based on the playing conditions of the player who used the proposed key configuration data.

[0254] Furthermore, when it is determined that a further change to the key configuration data is necessary, the suggestion unit 114 may again suggest changing the key configuration data and / or may again suggest the key configuration data.

[0255] For example, in this embodiment, the game status of the player PA (for example, the score, the number of times a game stage has been played, the number of times a game stage has been cleared, the number of times a command has been input and the result (success or failure), the number of times a combo has been input and the result (success or failure of the combo) are stored for a predetermined period (for example, a period of one week) from the time when the key configuration data KT proposed to the player PA is set (the time when the key configuration data KT is stored in correspondence with the player ID of the player PA). Then, at the end of the predetermined period, the game status is analyzed. For example, the rate of change in score (rate of increase, rate of decrease), the clear rate (the ratio of the number of times a command has been cleared to the number of times it has been played), the success rate of command input (the number of times it has been successful out of the total number of times a command has been input), the success rate of combo (the number of times it has been successful out of the total number of times a combo has been successful), etc. are calculated.

[0256] For example, if the score is declining or the rate of increase in the score is low (e.g., 3% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high rate of increase in the score (e.g., another player with a rate of increase in the score of 10% or more) may be proposed again.

[0257] Also, for example, if the completion rate is low (for example, 10% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high completion rate (for example, another player with a completion rate of 50% or more) may be proposed again.

[0258] Also, if the success rate of command input is low (e.g., 20% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high success rate of command input (e.g., another player with a success rate of command input of 50% or more) may be proposed again.

[0259] Also, if the combo success rate is low (e.g., 20% or less), it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed. In such a case, the key configuration data of another player with a high combo success rate (e.g., another player with a combo success rate of 50% or more) may be proposed again.

[0260]

[11] Flowchart Next, the flow of processing in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0261] Key configuration data is set in association with a player (step S1). For example, the key configuration data is set in association with a player ID.

[0262] Next, based on the playing situation of the player, it is analyzed (determined) whether or not the key configuration data of the player needs to be changed (step S2).

[0263] If it is analyzed that the player's key configuration data needs to be changed (Y in step S2), it is suggested to change the key configuration data and / or key configuration data is proposed (step S3). On the other hand, if it is analyzed that the player's key configuration data does not need to be changed (N in step S2), the process ends. This ends the process.

[0264]

[12] Judgment process [12.1] Display of decision-making process In this embodiment, the analysis results and the decision process leading to the determination that the key configuration data needs to be changed based on the analysis results may also be presented to the player.

[0265] Specifically, an example of display when it is determined that the key configuration data needs to be changed in the player PA will be described.

[0266] For example, a message M11 stating "You are unable to move immediately after shooting, and are therefore prone to being attacked" is displayed on the screen G15 displayed to the player PA, as shown in Fig. 13. In other words, a problem in the game situation of the player PA is presented.

[0267] In this embodiment, a message M12 is displayed saying, "The shooting key is on the A button, and the movement key is on the joystick, and they cannot be operated simultaneously." In other words, the cause related to the key configuration data of the player PA is presented.

[0268] In this embodiment, a message M13 is displayed saying, "We recommend that you set the movement keys to the cross keys to make it easier to move immediately after shooting and less susceptible to attack." In other words, the key configuration data KT that sets the movement keys to the cross keys is proposed to the player PA.

[0269] [12.2] Optimal proposal Furthermore, in this embodiment, the player P may input data that serves as a task (goal) in the form of free text and / or a combination of conditions, and optimal suggestions based on the task may be made to the player.

[0270] For example, when an input of a task to achieve 1000 points or more with character OB5 is received from player PA, key configuration data is extracted from a plurality of key configuration data stored in the key configuration data storage unit 174 by filtering based on character identification information (character OB5) and score information (e.g., 1000 points or more). Then, from among the extracted key configuration data, the key configuration data with the highest ranking (score ranking and / or level ranking) is proposed. Also, key configuration data set by other real players may be proposed.

[0271] In addition, in this embodiment, the most frequent value of the extracted key configuration data (the data that appears most frequently among the data) may be set and proposed.

[0272]

[13] Machine Learning The game system (which may be the server device 10 or the terminal device 20) of this embodiment may employ machine learning. Here, machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence, and is a technology that allows a computer to imitate human learning capabilities. The purpose of machine learning is to learn patterns from data and build a model that predicts and classifies new, unknown data.

[0273] In this embodiment, deep learning can be used. Deep learning is a field of artificial intelligence that uses neural networks that mimic the neural networks of the human brain. It extracts features of input data through a multi-layer network and learns complex tasks.

[0274] Machine learning is broadly divided into supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. In this embodiment, any of the learning methods may be performed.

[0275] In supervised learning, a model is trained using training data consisting of pairs of input data and corresponding output data (labels). The model learns to predict the correct output for a given input data.

[0276] Unsupervised learning aims to find structures and patterns in unlabeled data. Clustering, dimensionality reduction, and generative models are examples of unsupervised learning.

[0277] Reinforcement learning is an approach in which an agent learns to maximize rewards by interacting with an environment and choosing actions. The agent learns based on the rewards that result from these actions.

[0278] In this embodiment, the server device 10 may have a learning function and an inference function, and the terminal device 20 may have a learning function and an inference function. Also, the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 may have a learning device (in a broader sense, an information processing device) and an inference device (in a broader sense, an information processing device) different from each other. These learning devices and inference devices are connected to the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 via a network.

[0279] [13.1] Game data and key configuration data In this embodiment, the server device 10 may store a set of game data (play status and / or game results associated with the play status) and key configuration data for each player, and may infer and provide recommended key configuration data from the player's game data.

[0280] For example, let us consider the case of supervised learning. In supervised learning, existing game data and the key configuration data at that time are used as training data. By learning this data set, the model acquires the ability to predict preferred key configuration data from the player's game data. In the inference phase, when new game data is input, the model outputs and provides optimal key configuration data based on the learned knowledge.

[0281] In unsupervised learning, latent structures and patterns in the data are explored using only game data. For example, a clustering technique can be used to group similar game data and assign the optimal key configuration data to each group. In the inference phase, it is determined which cluster new game data belongs to, and the key configuration data for that cluster is provided.

[0282] In the case of reinforcement learning, the model (agent) learns how to select actions that maximize rewards, i.e., key configuration data, while interacting with the player's game data. The model observes the player's reaction to the selected key configuration data (reward: for example, an indicator such as the player's satisfaction) and updates its course of action based on the results. During inference, the model uses the policy acquired through learning to select and provide the optimal key configuration data for new game data.

[0283] [13.2] Decision process and key configuration data In this embodiment, the judgment process information (issues, causes) and the proposed key configuration data may be stored as a set, and recommended key configuration data may be inferred and provided from the judgment process information.

[0284] In supervised learning, the decision process information is the input data, and the corresponding key configuration data is the label. In the learning phase, the model is trained using this paired data and predicts the optimal key configuration data from the decision process information. With this approach, when the decision process information is given, the model infers the key configuration data and provides the inferred key configuration data to the player.

[0285] In unsupervised learning, label information is not used, and the model learns the structure and patterns of the decision process information itself. For example, similar decision process information is grouped by using clustering, and the optimal key configuration data is assigned to each group. When new decision process information is obtained, the cluster to which it belongs is identified, the key configuration data assigned to that cluster is inferred, and the key configuration data is provided.

[0286] In the case of reinforcement learning, the model (agent) selects an action (suggestion of key configuration data) based on the decision-making process information, and learns based on the resulting reward (e.g., an indicator such as the player's satisfaction). This allows the model to improve its ability to make better suggestions over time. It also selects and provides the optimal key configuration data for new decision-making process information.

[0287] [13.3] Learning about player satisfaction with proposed key configuration data In this embodiment, the proposed key configuration data and the player's satisfaction level may be stored as a set and used for subsequent proposals.

[0288] The degree of satisfaction may be the period of time that has elapsed since the key configuration data was set. The longer the period of time, the more satisfied the player is with the key configuration data. The degree of satisfaction may also be expressed as a five-point rating (e.g., 5 being the highest rating and 1 being the lowest rating). For example, an rating of the current key configuration data (e.g., key configuration data KT) is accepted based on an input from the player PA, and the key configuration data (e.g., key configuration data KT) and the degree of satisfaction are stored as a set.

[0289] In supervised learning, the proposed key configuration data is the input data, and the corresponding player satisfaction is treated as the label. This allows the model to predict the player's satisfaction from the key configuration data. As the learning progresses, the model becomes able to make more accurate satisfaction predictions, and the key configuration data suggestions for the next time and beyond are optimized based on this.

[0290] In the case of unsupervised learning, rather than directly learning player satisfaction, the system explores the latent structure and patterns of key configuration data. For example, clustering is used to group similar key configuration data and analyze the tendency for each group to have high satisfaction. When new key configuration data is obtained, the cluster to which this information belongs is identified, and the next suggestion is made based on that.

[0291] In the case of reinforcement learning, the agent (model) receives the player's satisfaction as a reward for the selected key configuration data. The agent updates its action policy based on this reward, and selects key configuration data that gives higher satisfaction over time. Improve the ability to make suggestions. Reinforcement learning allows the system to learn from past experiences and make appropriate suggestions even in unknown situations.

[0292]

[14] Timing of proposal In this embodiment, when proposing key configuration data to the player PA during a game, the proposal may be made after pausing (temporarily stopping) the game.

[0293] For example, in a fighting game, timing of input is important. Therefore, in this embodiment, a change to the key configuration data is suggested based on a failed combo, and when the key configuration data is changed, the game may be resumed from a predetermined period before the pause (pause) (for example, the timing before the input of the combo).

[0294] In this embodiment, a suggestion to change the key configuration data may be made before the start of the game.

[0295]

[15] Other [15.1] Settings for the operation input unit 263 In this embodiment, it may be possible to assign various functions to one operation input unit 263 (for example, the A button). Specifically, it may be possible to set the type of kick (jump kick, crouching kick) in detail with the A button. For example, a setting may be made in which player PA assigns a "jump kick" to a short press of the A button, and player PB assigns a "crouching kick" to a long press of the A button.

[0296] In such a case, in this embodiment, the key configuration data may be changed including detailed settings for the A button (for example, assignment of multiple types of operations to one operation input unit 263). Also, detailed settings for the A button may be proposed including detailed settings (for example, assignment of multiple types of operations to one operating member).

[0297] [15.2] Single Player Example In this embodiment, a game system in which multiple players can participate is used, but the game system may also be a game system in which a single player can participate.

[0298] [15.3] Game genre The game genre is not limited to a battle game (fighting game). The game of this embodiment may be applied to a music game, a sports game, a simulation game, a training game, a quiz game, a puzzle game, an action game, or a role-playing game.

[0299] [15.4] Examples of Game System Applications [15.4.1] Cloud-based gaming system The game system of this embodiment may be a cloud-type game system. For example, in a cloud-type game system, basic processing (including game processing, drawing processing, etc.) is performed only by the server device 10 (cloud device), and the terminal device 20 only controls the display of the processing results of the server device 10 (cloud device). The terminal device 20 transmits information such as input information (operation information) of an input device to the server device 10. In this case, the game device 20 may transmit information other than the input information.

[0300] Furthermore, in this embodiment, except for input, each function of the processing unit 200 of the above-mentioned game device 20 and execution of the game program may be executed by the server device 10, and the game device 20 may realize the above-mentioned game by executing input and image display by streaming.

[0301] Furthermore, the game system may store the information stored in the server device 10 and the information stored in the terminal device 20 in a given storage area on the Internet.

[0302] [15.4.2] Examples of social games In addition, in this embodiment, the device may function as an SNS server that provides communication-type services.

[0303] [15.4.3] Example of a browser game In particular, in this embodiment, a game may be provided on the web browser of the game device 20.

[0304] The game device 20 also includes a Web browser capable of browsing Web pages (data in HTML format). That is, the terminal device 20 includes a communication control function for communicating with the server device 10, a display control function using data received from the server device 10 (Web data, data created in HTML format, etc.), a Web browser function for transmitting input data of a player to the server device 10, and the like, and executes various processes for providing a screen to a player and allows the player to play a game. The terminal device 20 may acquire game control information provided from the server device 10, execute a predetermined game process, and play a game based on the game process.

[0305] [15.4.4] P2P example In the case where the game device 20 of the present embodiment plays a game with a plurality of terminal devices 20 by P2P (peer-to-peer) or the like, one terminal device 20 may act as a host and execute processing. In such a case, the terminal device 20 as the host may execute processing of each processing unit of the server device 10 (a part or all of each processing unit).

[0306] [15.5] History of other players' key configuration data In this embodiment, the player PA may be able to view the history of key configuration data of other players (e.g., player PB). In this way, other players can refer to the process of improving the key configuration data.

[0307] [15.6] Other The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, a term cited as a broadly defined or synonymous term in the description in the specification or drawings can be replaced with a broadly defined or synonymous term in other descriptions in the specification or drawings.

[0308] The present invention includes configurations that are substantially the same as the configurations described in the embodiments (for example, configurations with the same functions, methods and results, or configurations with the same purpose and effect). The present invention also includes configurations in which non-essential parts of the configurations described in the embodiments are replaced. The present invention also includes configurations that achieve the same effects as the configurations described in the embodiments or that can achieve the same purpose. The present invention also includes configurations in which publicly known technology is added to the configurations described in the embodiments.

[0309] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail as above, it will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that many modifications are possible without substantially departing from the novel features and effects of the present invention. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
