It provides features and functions that offer benefits.

[0027] Next, using the flowchart in Figure 5, we will explain how Game System 1 performs proxy gameplay. Let me explain the process.

[0028] Figure 6 shows the terminal 20 of the first player (first user, the player requesting proxy play). This is a diagram illustrating the screen displayed in the UI section 202 of terminal 1. As shown in Figure 6, the screen Above, based on the location information of the first player's terminal 20, within a certain distance from the current location. Map information for the area is displayed. Icons indicating spots S1 to S6 are displayed on the map. It is set up so that a certain area is defined around each spot, and the player's terminal When 20 enters the area, the proxy game play (proxy play) is associated with that spot. You can request or accept proxy play associated with that spot. Please note that if the player's terminal 20 does not enter the spot's area, requests for proxy play and acceptance will not be possible. Although you cannot perform actions such as confirming, you can still see the area displayed on the map even without entering it. By selecting the spot icon, you can display information about that spot. It is possible.

[0029] The first player moves to a spot near one of the locations on the map (e.g., S1) and is set up. Upon entering the area (step S101), the first player performs the operation associated with spot S1. This makes it possible to do so (step S102). Specifically, the terminal 20 of the first player When spot S1 moves to a position that satisfies the pre-set positional conditions, Requests for proxy play from terminal 20 will now be accepted. At this time, for example, on the screen By flashing the icon indicating spot S1 or displaying a message, You could also implement a feature to indicate that operation is now possible.

[0030] When the first player selects spot S1 on the screen, as illustrated in Figure 6, the spot The available operation menu M is displayed. Operation menu M shows the selected spot Enter the spot ID (for example, S1) and select the action that can be performed at that spot. Tan (In the example in Figure 6, "Get an item" (B1), "Request a proxy play" (B2), The "Acceptance of Proxy Play" (B3)) screen appears. The first player selects "Proxy Play" from the menu. When you select the "Request" option, the first presentation unit 114 will, as illustrated in Figure 7, The list of quests (games) for which you can request assistance at this location (List L1) is It is displayed (step S103). At this time, based on the first player's play history, a list is displayed. Within this, the first player can identify quests they have previously attempted but were unable to complete. It may also be displayed based on the play history of players other than the first player. Alternatively, refer to the information stored in the spot management table 100b, and Based on the history of games played by proxy users associated with S1, a list of quests will be displayed. This may be presented to the first player. For example, in each quest, in spot S1, past (present) The number of times a proxy play was accepted and the game was cleared during the specified period up to the present (number of proxy clears), and Number of players who have accepted proxy play requests, and the date and time when the most recent proxy play was completed. Information such as the above may be displayed. In the example in Figure 7, "Quest A" is a proxy play at the spot. It shows that it has been cleared 5 times within the last week by the user. You can also display each quest name (B4-B6) in the list by long-pressing it. Additionally, the list will only display games that the first player can play (can be requested to play on their behalf). Alternatively, the system may prioritize displaying playable games in order. The game may be displayed to identify games that the player has previously attempted but failed to complete. Selecting and long-pressing each quest name in the list will result in the selected quest being selected. For quests that are the same as or equivalent to the quest, other players located around the first player Information on proxy requests in pots (for example, other spots within the range shown on the map) You may also display the number of times a row has been cleared, etc.

[0031] The first player selects the quest for which they want to request proxy play, and also selects the proxy player Specify the reward to be given to a player who has accepted condition (i) and has completed the challenge. For example, on the screen shown in Figure 7, select the quest you want to request assistance with from list L2. Then, as illustrated in Figure 8, game media B7~B9 (for example, i) can be specified as rewards. You may also want to display a list (L2) of items (or their in-game value). Additionally, the list should include: When a specific reward is selected, the number of times the service has been accepted at that location and the most recent acceptance date and time will be displayed. This is also acceptable. Furthermore, if the specified reward is the same as or equivalent to a game medium, it may be set as the reward. Regarding proxy play for quests, other spots located around the first player (for example) (Other spots within the range displayed on the map) Number of times you have cleared them by proxy or recently cleared them You may also display the date and time information. In the example in Figure 8, at spot S1, "eye It has been shown that a quest with "Tem A" as the reward has been completed 5 times within a week. Yes. The first player requests a quest to be completed on the screen shown in Figure 7 (for example, quest A). By specifying ) and setting the reward (for example, item A) on the screen shown in Figure 8, an example will be shown in Figure 9. The following screen will be displayed. The first player clicks the "Request Proxy" button on the screen shown in Figure 9. When an operation such as tapping B10 is performed, the reception unit 111 of the game server 10 receives a message from terminal 20 or We accept requests for assistance (specified instructions) (Step S104). Requests for assistance include the following: Information such as the first player's information, the quest for which proxy play is requested, and the rewards for completing it. It is included. The content of the proxy request received will be included if the location conditions are met at the time the proxy request was received. The location, Spot S1, is associated with the location and stored in Spot Management Table 100b. Also, from the stamina of the first player stored in the play status management table 100a, Playing the game will consume stamina.

[0032] The first player, from the home screen of device 20, can access a list of quests for which they have requested proxy play and Even if you can check the status of each request (request in progress / accepted / completed) Good. "Request in progress" means that you have linked the target quest to a specific location and requested someone to play it for you. However, it has not yet been accepted by other players. "Accepted" means that the target quest A specific other player has accepted the request for proxy play, but that other player "Ya" is in an incomplete state. "Completed" means the quest has been taken over by another player. The game has been played and completed after acceptance. Note that the stats are not limited to these. Other stats may be present. Also, depending on the first player's selection of each quest... Details of the proxy play for each quest (name of the proxy player, completion status, and details of the proxy play) Character used by Ya, time played, number of turns taken to clear, gameplay video (etc.) may be displayed. This allows the first player to see the quest for which they requested proxy play. Because you can see how other players have played your game, you can improve your own gameplay. This can be used as a reference.

[0033] When accepting a proxy request associated with Spot S1, the second player who accepts it ( The second user needs to be near spot S1. That is, the second player's terminal 2 Terminal 0 (second terminal) satisfies the pre-set location conditions for spot S1. If present, the control unit 112 will tell the second player the substitute associated with spot S1 Control to allow acceptance of play (step S105). Second player's terminal 20 The map displays identifiable actionable spots, and the second player can target the spots ( For example, select Spot S1) and in the menu screen shown in Figure 6, select "Receive proxy play". Selecting "Accept" will display a list of quests that can be accepted at that location, as illustrated in Figure 10. L3 is displayed. The second player selects quests B11-B13 from the list to be performed on behalf of the second player. It is possible to do so. The list includes the quest name, reward details, requesting player name, and the request status. Information such as status (request in progress / accepted / completed) may be displayed. Based on the progress of the game data, the second player will play in their own game data. If you're not currently able to play but accept a proxy play request, you can identify the playable quests. It may be displayed as follows. In the example in Figure 10, for "Quest A", the second player is In the game data, this indicates that the quest is not yet playable. This means that quests that are not playable in your own game data (for example, P Quests that do not meet the requirements for being played by Ray will be easier to identify, and acceptance of proxy play will be easier. This can facilitate that. Also, you cannot accept a proxy play request that you yourself have made. It can also be used for sea urchin control.

[0034] Also, regarding the quest selected by the second player, other players located around the second player The same or equivalent at a spot (for example, other spots within the range shown on the map) You may also display information about the rewards set for the quests you are requesting to complete. The rewards set for the game are the same as or equivalent to the rewards set for the game. Regarding proxy play of quests, the same or equivalent information is available at other locations on the map. You may also want to display information about proxy requests for which a fee has been set.

[0035] Once the second player accepts the proxy play request, they will complete the target quest within the specified time. You can only play for a limited time (for example, 24 hours). Upon acceptance, your play status will be managed on a table. The game in question has been added to the list of games that the second player of Ru100a can play. You can play from anywhere within the designated time. During the period (the designated time during which the second player can play on behalf of another player), other players may play on behalf of the second player. I cannot accept the play.

[0036] When the second player plays the target quest, the update unit 113 updates the play status management table. Update the game progress of the first player stored in Bull100a (Step S) 106). Specifically, if the second player completes the quest that they requested to be played by another player. The status of the quest will be updated to "Completed," and the history of the proxy play will be updated. Additionally, stamina values ​​and other information will be updated as needed to reflect the completion of the quest. Furthermore, the update unit 113 checks the status of the proxy request stored in the spot management table 100b. I will also update this.

[0037] Furthermore, the update unit 113 sends a proxy request to the second player who has completed the target quest. The process of granting the reward set for the quest to the player who performed the action (step (P S107). In addition, the clear rewards pre-set for the quest will also be given to the second player. It is also permissible to do so. Furthermore, if necessary, the second player's actions resulting from playing the game may be taken. Updates will be made to stamina values, etc. Note that if the second player fails to clear the stage within the allotted time... The request will then be returned to an acceptable status at the original spot.

[0038] The reception unit 111 counts the number of proxy games registered in association with the spot (proxy game You can control whether or not to accept new requests depending on the number of requests you have already received. Good. For example, the maximum number of proxy requests that can be registered for each spot (for example, Spot A has 10 requests). You may also set up Spot B to have 5 items, etc. Also, the first player requests a proxy If registration is not possible at the intended spot, the second display unit 115 will indicate the first place Based on the layer's location, information on other spots that can accept requests for assistance is provided in the first place. It may be shown to the player, that is, at another spot near the first player's current location. The terminal 20 will display information about locations that accept requests for assistance with the game in question. It is permissible to limit the number of proxy requests that one player can register at one spot (e.g. (For example, up to 5 entries) If the limit is exceeded, the limit for that player is reached. You could also display information about other spots that are not currently available. Also, for all players, who Regardless of whether a request has been registered, there is a limit to the number of requests that can be registered at one location. If that limit is exceeded, the system will display information on other spots where requests can be registered. This may be done. Specifically, for example, at spot A where the first player satisfies the positional conditions. If the number of registered proxy requests reaches the maximum limit (10), the player located near the first player will be... Other spots (for example, other spots within the range shown on the map), and alternative Display information about spots where the number of registered requests has not reached the limit. Alternative spots One way to display this information is by, for example, making the icons representing spots on the map blink. You may take control. Also, regarding the spots on the displayed map, Display the maximum number of registrations per entry and the current number of registrations (e.g., 4 registered / maximum 10). You may do so.

[0039] Furthermore, the reception unit 111 accepts the proxy request if the first player meets the specified conditions. The criteria for determining whether attachment is possible or not may be updated. Specifically, the first play The number of spots that terminal 20 of user Y has met the location conditions for within a predetermined period (cumulative number) has reached a predetermined number. In that case, the maximum number of proxy requests that can be accepted at that location (the criteria for making the decision) will be You may increase the number. If you are unable to accept the request, indicate that the request is not accepted. Messages or the like may be displayed. Specifically, for example, if a certain player Each time a predetermined operation (check-in operation) is performed for a given number of spots, the location conditions are met. You may also update the maximum number of items set for that player. More specifically, Even if you increase the maximum number of check-ins by one each time Iya checks into a spot good.

[0040] Furthermore, the third display unit 116 of the game server 10 displays to the terminal 20 of the first player Spots within a predetermined range (a certain range from the current location) based on the position of the earphone terminal 20 The information may be displayed. Note that "within a certain range" refers to the distance from the actual terminal 20. It can be defined as the distance on the map screen displayed on terminal 20 (for example, the distance on the screen) It may also be defined as the range shown. In addition, the third display unit 116 is within a certain range of SPO It is also possible to present information on spots that meet a predetermined first condition from among the spots. For example, the number of proxy games at each spot within a certain range (the number of registered proxy requests or You may also control the number of spots displayed based on factors such as the number of proxy requests that have been completed. Furthermore, the third display section 116 displays proxy games associated with each spot within a certain range. The displayed spots may be controlled based on the play history. For example, the first play The quest that Iya requested to be played by a proxy is the corresponding quest (a quest with the same ID) and is being played by a proxy. Based on the history, the number of accepted (or completed) quests in question is relatively high. Spots where the corresponding quest has been played by a proxy within a specified period (recently). You may choose to prioritize displaying that.

[0041] Furthermore, the fourth display unit 117 of the game server 10 displays a spot to the second player's terminal 20. The proxy game information registered in association with the second player's game data Depending on the manner, it may be presented. For example, the agency request registered in association with the spot In this case, the second player cannot play using their own game data, but can play on behalf of the other player. If you accept the quest, you may make it possible to clearly display the playable quests. For example However, due to insufficient game progress, the second player does not yet meet the requirements to play. You might want to display which quests you haven't completed so that they can be easily identified.

[0042] Furthermore, the fifth display unit 118 of the game server 10 displays to the second player's terminal 20 the second player Among the spots within a certain range from the current location of the earphone terminal 20, a predetermined condition (second condition) ) may be displayed to show information about proxy games associated with spots that meet the criteria. Oh, "within a certain range" can be defined as the distance from the actual terminal 20, or it can be displayed on terminal 20. It may also be defined as the distance on the map screen (for example, the area displayed on the screen). If so, it is defined as being within a certain distance (for example, within 1 km) from the current location of the second player's terminal 20. Alternatively, it may be defined as the area displayed on the map on the screen of terminal 20.

[0043] Furthermore, the fifth display unit 118 is located within a certain range from the current location of the second player's terminal 20. Among the proxy requests associated with a spot, the game selected by the second player is This associates the location of the second player's terminal 20 with a spot located within a certain range from its current location. You may also display information about the rewards set for the proxy games being played. If you specify a quest that the second player will perform, you can associate it with other spots on the map. From the registered proxy requests, display information on the rewards set for the same quest. ru.

[0044] (Reservation function) If the player is far from the spot, select the spot on the map and then... You could also allow bookings for pot-based service requests. Specifically, you could allow bookings for spots on the map. Select and then choose "Book Request" from the menu screen, and you will have a set time (for example, within 10 minutes). ) can secure the right to request assistance at that spot within the specified time. If you are unable to enter the designated area, your rights will be forfeited (the request slot will be released).

[0045] The player who made the request (Player 1) and the player who accepted (Player 2) It would be good to allow users to send friend requests and so on.

[0046] As described above, according to this embodiment, if you get stuck and can't clear the game on your own... In that case, by moving to a specific location, it became possible to request someone else to do it for you. More than just clearing the game yourself, you can also move to the appropriate location. This provides another option: to clear the game with the help of others, making the game even more interesting. This is possible. Also, by having the player move to various locations, nearby commercial facilities can be explored. It can also achieve effects on the installation.

[0047] In this embodiment, the information processing device of the present invention is used as the game server 10, but information Processing devices are not limited to servers. For example, personal computers and mobile devices. It could be a terminal device or a dedicated game console.
