When the transmission request means 232 receives a registration request from the first user, the transmission request means If the person is an adult, a name that can identify the second user designated by the first user Specific information such as name and address, and the ability to verify whether the specific information is authentic Request that authentication information such as license transfer certificate be sent to external review system 3 (third party) The transmission request means 232 transmits an identity verification request email (transmission request) to the second user. When a registration request is received from the first user, if the first user is an adult, Specific information such as name and address that can identify the user, and that such specific information is genuine The external review system 3 (the third Send an identity verification request email (transmission request) to the first user requesting that the third party ( The content providing means 233 is an external examination system 3 based on the specific information and the authentication information. During the period until the authentication is completed, the first user can play a mini-game (predetermined The service providing means 234 provides the first user with the content of the external examination system Upon completion of the authentication by 3, the provision of the main game to the first user is started. .

[0105] According to this configuration, the external examination system 3 performs identity authentication of the first user or the second user. During the period until the completion of the above, the first user cannot start the main game, but can play the This allows users to play games on the go, improving the user experience. .

[0106] The registration request may include a location information that may identify the country or region of residence of the first user. The content providing means 233 includes information on the country or region of residence (attribute information). Based on the information of the country or region of residence of the first user, an external review system 3 (a third party ) to complete authentication, and Based on the result, a predetermined mini-game (content) to be provided to the first user is selected from among a plurality of mini-games (contents). This will decide the game.

[0107] According to this configuration, an appropriate mini-game according to the expected waiting time can be provided to the first user. This makes it possible. The mini-game (content) is played on a game device 5 (terminal device) owned by the first user. The control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 is provided to the first user. The play log acquisition means 235 further functions as a play log acquisition means. Until authentication by System 3 (third party) is completed, you cannot play mini-games (prescribed content). The laylog is not acquired from the game device 5 (terminal device), and the authentication by the external examination system 3 is completed. After the game is completed, the play log of the mini-game is obtained from the game device 5.

[0108] According to this configuration, the first user or the second user agrees to the privacy policy, etc. This violates the privacy policy because it will collect mini-game play logs after the game is started. This can more reliably avoid such situations. The transmission request means 232 is configured to request the first user based on the first user's date of birth (attribute information). determines to which of the second users an identity verification request email (transmission request) is to be sent.

[0109] According to this configuration, it is possible to determine whether the first user is an adult or a minor. This makes it possible to send the identity verification request email to a more appropriate user. The transmission request means 232 transmits an identity verification request email (transmission request) to the second user, Based on the execution history of the mini-game (predetermined content) of the first user as shown in FIG. Then, the transmission request is sent again to the second user as shown in FIG.

[0110] According to this configuration, when the flow of personal authentication is stalled for the second user, It is possible to prompt the second user to proceed with the procedure. The control unit 56 of the game device 5 further functions as a display control means 564. 564 is a transmission request means 232 of the server device 2 to send consent request mail and identity verification request mail After sending the message (transmission request) to the second user, the message is authenticated by the external audit system 3 (third party). During the period until completion, the factors that have not yet been completed include the second user and the external review system 3 The first user determines whether the game is a mini-game (predetermined game) or a game that is a predecessor to the first game, as shown in FIG. 12, before the mini-game is started by the first user. Display after execution.

[0111] According to this configuration, the first user can recognize the cause of the delay in authentication by the external examination system 3. It becomes possible to do so. The display control means 564 detects whether the authentication has not been completed due to an external examination system 3 (a third party). If so, the expected remaining time until certification by the external audit system3 is completed The expected waiting time is calculated by playing a mini-game (a predetermined content) by the first user as shown in FIG. before the command is executed.

[0112] According to this configuration, the waiting time until the authentication of the external examination system 3 is completed is shortened by the first user. This makes it easier for the first user to understand, thereby improving convenience for the first user. <First Modification> Next, a first modified example of the game system 1 of the embodiment will be described.

[0113] The content providing means 233 of the server device 2 can set a quest as a mini-game. A quest is a task or condition to be accomplished in the game. The content providing means 233 can set such a quest. When providing a game to a first user, for example, when the expected waiting time is short, The first user may be provided with a quest including a stage that can be played between the first user and In the case where the flow of the identity authentication is stalled for the second user, the content providing means 233 After the first user completes a given quest, the next additional quest is set again and the Each time you complete a quest, the quests provided to the first user will be unlocked. The difficulty of the test may be gradually increased.

[0114] <Second Modification> Next, a second modified example of the game system 1 of the embodiment will be described. For example, if the identity authentication flow is still stalled for a second user even at night, It is considered that there is little chance that the identity authentication of the second user will be completed within this time. In this situation, the content providing means 233 of the server device 2 may not log in to the mini-game tomorrow. A login bonus is a special offer that provides a first user with a certain privilege on the condition that the first user logs in. The login bonus may be provided to the first user. For example, you can request to play a mini-game instead of just logging in to the mini-game. A condition may be used, such as completing a certain quest in a mini-game. This does not include game media that can be used in mini-games, but games that can be used in the main game. It may also be a game medium.

[0115] In addition, if there is little prospect of the second user's identity verification being completed within the day, the service The content providing means 233 of the server device 2 displays the status in the status display area 940 shown in FIG. Revise the expected wait time to at least the next day's time. The content providing means 233 of the server device 2 is a second user's If identity verification takes days, we can create a stage structure similar to a login bonus. By presenting the mini-game to the first user in advance, the first user can play the mini-game every In this case, the first user may be prompted to play the game again. 561 will not be able to log in to the mini-game until identity verification by external review system 3 is completed. The history is not transmitted to the server device 2. The communication means 561 is a means for receiving personal authentication by the external examination system 3. After the authentication is completed, the login history of the mini-game is transmitted to the server device 2. The content providing means 233 acquires the login history of the mini-game, and then, for example, A reward corresponding to the first user logging in every day is given to the first user.

[0116] In this way, in the game system 1 of this embodiment, the content providing means 233 After the request unit 232 transmits the identity verification request mail (transmission request) to the second user, The mini-game (specified content) is executed by the user and the mini-game quest is completed. When the conditions (predetermined conditions) are met, specific information such as name and address, and driving Authentication information such as a driver's license is sent from the second user to an external examination system 3 (a third party). If not, the expected waiting time (assigned) displayed in the status display area 940 shown in FIG. The content providing means 233 corrects the expected waiting time based on the corrected expected waiting time. Determine additional quests (additional content) to be provided to the first user.

[0117] According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the first user from quitting the mini-game due to getting bored with the mini-game. It becomes easier. [Other embodiments] The various control means and processing procedures described in the above embodiment are merely examples. It is not intended to limit the scope of application or use of the various control means. The design and processing procedures can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0118] For example, in the process of step S26 shown in FIG. 5, it is determined whether the first user is an adult. We based our decision on the age of digital consent, but instead, we could base it on, for example, the age of majority. It may be determined whether the first user is of age. The content providing means 233 provides the first user with the information by the time authentication by the external examination system 3 is completed. The content provided to users is not limited to mini-games, but also includes other content such as e-books. It may also be .

[0119] In the result screen 95 shown in FIG. 12, the prediction screen is displayed in the same manner as in the waiting screen 94 shown in FIG. The expected wait time information may be displayed. In the above embodiment, the case where the parent, who is the second user, does not have account information is taken as an example. However, the second user may have account information. If the account information is available, the first user and the second user are registered. Verification of privacy policies, etc., and identity verification by an external review system3 are performed in parallel. This may be done by

[0120] The game device 5 does not execute the main game until authentication by the external examination system 3 is completed. In order to prevent this, the game execution means 562 is authenticated by the external examination system 3. After the completion of the game, the main game is executed. The game data of the main game from the server device 2 is not downloaded until the authentication by the examination system 3 is completed.
