Abstract

To increase a user's pleasure.SOLUTION: A program causes a computer to serve as: participation control means which makes a user participate in an event; behavior control means which controls an operation object to behave based on an input operation by the user; and state control means which performs control to change the operation object into a behavior impossible state in response to the establishment of a specific condition, to make the operation object having come into the behavior impossible state in a first period of the event changeable to a behavior possible state, and to make the operation object having come into the behavior impossible state in a second period of the event non-changeable to the behavior possible state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11

Claims

1. Computers A means of controlling user participation in an event, Action control means for controlling the target to perform an action based on the user's input operation, A state control means is provided to change the target of the operation to an incapacitated state in response to the fulfillment of specific conditions, to allow the target of the operation, which became incapacitated during the first period of the event, to be changed to an actionable state, and to prevent the target of the operation, which became incapacitated during the second period of the event, from being changed to an actionable state. The state control means can change the target of operation to an actionable state when a predetermined value associated with the target of operation, which has become incapacitated, reaches a specified value. A program characterized in that the predetermined value approaches the specified value over time.

2. The computer is configured to function as a progress control means that controls the progress of an event so that the user can interfere with the progress of the event based on a specific operation performed by the user when the target of the operation becomes incapacitated during the event. The program according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined value approaches the specified value based on the specific operation performed by the user.

3. The computer is configured to function as a change operation receiving means that accepts a change operation by the user when the target of the operation becomes inoperable during the first period. The state control means is the program according to claim 2, wherein when the change operation receiving means receives the change operation, the operation target is changed to an actionable state.

4. The program according to claim 3, wherein the change operation receiving means does not accept the change operation if the target of the operation becomes inoperable during the second period.

5. The aforementioned computer, A virtual space generation means for generating a virtual space for arranging the object to be operated on, The program according to claim 2, which functions as a viewpoint control means that controls the viewpoint used when generating an image rendered from the virtual space to be a first viewpoint when the target of operation is in an actionable state, and controls the viewpoint used when generating an image rendered from the virtual space to be a second viewpoint when the target of operation is in an immobile state.

6. The aforementioned computer, A virtual space generation means for generating a virtual space for arranging the object to be operated on, In the aforementioned virtual space, a region setting means for setting the restricted area of ​​the target of the operation is provided to function as follows: The area setting means either does not set the limiting area during the first period, or sets the limiting area during the first period to be smaller than that of the second period. The program according to claim 1, wherein the area setting means expands the restricted area in accordance with the progress of the event during the second period.

7. The aforementioned computer, A means for placing a specific object in the virtual space during the first period, The program according to claim 6, which functions as ownership control means for controlling a user who meets the acquisition conditions to acquire the specific object, and for controlling the number of specific objects owned by the user to decrease when the target of operation is in the restricted area, or for setting the number of specific objects owned by the user to zero when the target of operation is in the restricted area.

8. The participation control means allows one or more first users, including the user, and one or more second users different from the first users, to participate in the event. The aforementioned event is an event in which the first user and the second user compete against each other. The program according to claim 1, wherein the victory condition for the first user in the aforementioned battle is satisfied when, at the end of the first period or the start of the second period, some or all of the objects controlled by the first user are in an actionable state, and all of the objects controlled by the second user are in an actionable state.

9. A means of controlling user participation in an event, Action control means for controlling the target to perform an action based on the user's input operation, The system includes a state control means that changes the target of the operation to an incapacitated state in response to the fulfillment of specific conditions, allows the target of the operation to be changed to an actionable state during the first period of the event, and controls the target of the operation to be unable to be changed to an actionable state during the second period of the event. The state control means can change the target of operation to an actionable state when a predetermined value associated with the target of operation, which has become incapacitated, reaches a specified value. The predetermined value is an information processing system in which the predetermined value approaches the predetermined value as time progresses.
