A battle game according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure is now described with reference to
The user who participates in the game first decides a team to participate at the time of user registration. Moreover, the team to participate may be decided by the server 20 that performs the user registration processing. The user can check the tag display associated with the real object 30 through the information processing device 10 such as HMD and launch an attack against the real object 30 of the opponent team.
The users have individual physical strengths and attack powers (status). In addition, the real object 30 is also associated with the tag information such as acquisition difficulty level or rarity level. The battle's victory or defeat is determined depending on the user who launches an attack, the status of the user who owns the real object 30, and the tag information of the real object 30. In this regard, in a case where the user who launches an attack wins, the user can take away the target real object 30 from the original owner. In addition, a user who wins the battle, as a privilege, may rise in status or may be given an item or the like available for the game.

In addition, the user who wins the battle can set an optional tag to be associated with the real object 30. A detailed description of the battle will be given later.
Moreover, the points acquired by each team are obtained from the sum of the acquisition difficulty levels of the real objects 30 owned by the users belonging to each team. The points acquired by each team are counted every predetermined period such as week, month, or the like, and the team's victory or defeat may be determined for each such period.
Various types of information used in the battle game according to the present embodiment are now described with reference to
The acquisition difficulty level is an item corresponding to the physical strength of the real object 30. A user who launches an attack can subtract a numerical value obtained by multiplying a user's attack power by a random number from the acquisition difficulty level. If the acquisition difficulty level of the real object 30 is less than or equal to 0 from the result of the attack, the user who launches an attack gains the victory. The acquisition difficulty level is the tag information that can be set by the user who wins the battle, and the user can set a new acquisition difficulty level of the real object 30 in exchange for the user's status. The setting of high acquisition difficulty level makes it possible to eliminate or reduce the possibility of being taken away the real object 30 when an attack is launched from another user.
The manufacturer, model, and degree of luxury are product information related to the real object 30. The information may be information provided by a manufacturer that makes the real object 30. In addition, in the example illustrated in
The optional tag is tag information set by the user who owns the real object 30, and the user, who launches an attack, when winning the battle, can set it. The optional tag may be a simple message directed to another user.
The rarity level is a value indicating the scarcity of the real object 30. The rarity level may be calculated from, in one example, the number of real objects 30 of the same model, which are managed by the object management unit 230. In other words, the rarity level of the real object 30 having a small number of identical models with respect to the whole is set to high, and the rarity level of the real object 30 in which many identical models are registered is set to low. Moreover, in the example illustrated in
The owner is an item indicating a user who owns the real object 30. Referring to
The information related to the real object 30 managed by the object management unit 230 according to the present embodiment is described above. Moreover, the above-described information managed by the object management unit 230 may be distributed and stored in a plurality of tables. In addition, information other than the above may be managed together. In one example, the object management unit 230 may manage the image information of a vehicle for each model of the real object 30.
Information related to the user (the information processing device 10) managed by the user management unit 220 according to the present embodiment is now described.
The team represents a force on the game to which the user belongs. In the example illustrated in
The physical strength and attack power indicate user status information. The physical strength decreases by counterattacks from the battle opponent, and when it is 0 or less, the user's defeat is decided. As described above, the attack power indicates the strength of taking away the value of the acquisition difficulty level of the real object 30 to be attacked.
The ranking is a value indicating a user ranking in the game. The ranking is determined on the basis of points acquired for each user. In addition, the ranking may be a personal ranking of acquired points in the team, or may be a personal ranking of points acquired in all teams.
The information related to the user (the information processing device 10) managed by the user management unit 220 according to the present embodiment is described above. Moreover, the above-described information managed by the user management unit 220 may be distributed and stored in a plurality of tables. In addition, information other than the above may be managed together. In one example, the user management unit 220 may further manage the user's status such as defense power or hit rate, to make the game more complicated.
The overview of the battle game according to the present embodiment is described above. Then, display control of information regarding the battle game is described.
Further, the tag displays T11 to T13 indicate tag displays associated with the real objects 30a to 30c, respectively. The tag displays T11 to T13 are controlled by the display control unit 140. Moreover, the display control unit 140 may acquire a change in the position information of the real objects 30a to 30c from the server 20 and control the display positions of the tag displays T11 to T13. In addition, the display control unit 140 may control the display positions of the tag displays T11 to T13 using image recognition technology such as SLAM on the basis of the information related to the real objects 30a to 30c that is acquired from the sensor unit 160.
The tag displays T11 to T13 illustrated in
Then, referring to the tag display T12, the same item as the tag display T11 is displayed on the tag display T12, but the background of the tag display T12 is displayed in a format different from the tag display T11. As described above, the display control unit 140 may change the display format of the tag display depending on the tag information associated with the real object 30. In this example, the display control unit 140 controls the display format of the tag display depending on the rarity level that is set in the real object 30. It can be seen that the rarity level of the real object 30a is D while the rarity level of the real object 30b is A, as compared to the tag displays T11 and T12. The user is able to recognize intuitively that the rarity level of the real object 30b is higher by checking the display format of the tag display T12. The display format of the tag display may include color, shape, size, pattern, or the like.
Then, referring to the tag display T13, unlike the tag displays T11 and T12, text information “IN BATTLE!” is displayed. In this example, this message indicates that the real object 30c is being attacked by another user (in battle). As described above, the display control unit 140 is capable of acquiring a situation of processing regarding the real object 30 from the server 20 to control the tag display. In addition, as illustrated in
Further, the display control unit 140 according to the present embodiment may have a function of filtering tag information to be displayed depending on various conditions such as setting and state of the user. In one example, in a case where a predetermined rarity level is set as a condition for the user to display the tag information, the display control unit 140 may display only the tag display regarding the real object 30 associated with the rarity level having a predetermined value or more.
Further, the display control unit 140 may filter the tag information to be displayed on the basis of the information related to the user's emotion that is acquired by the sensor unit 160. In one example, in a case where the information related to the user's emotion indicates the excited state of the user, the display control unit 140 may perform display control in such a manner to display only the tag information associated with a red-colored vehicle. Moreover, examples of the information related to the user's emotion may include information related to heart rate, blood pressure, eye movement, or the like of the user.
Then, the windows W11 to W14 illustrated in
The window W12 is an area for displaying the position information of the information processing device 10 and the real object 30 on a map. In this example, the position (user's position) of the information processing device 10 is indicated by a mark of black circle, and the position of the real object 30 is indicated by a mark of white triangle or white star. In this regard, the display control unit 140 may change the mark indicating the real object 30 depending on the rarity level of the real object 30. In one example, when the rarity level of the real object 30 is a predetermined rarity level or more, the display control unit 140 may cause the real object 30 to be displayed as a white star mark on the map. In addition, the display control unit 140 is capable of performing display control in such a manner to display information other than the real object 30 that is acquired from the server 20 on the map. In this example, an item used in the battle game is shown on the map with a heart-shaped mark. The item used in the battle game may be, in one example, one that restores the user's physical strength.
The window W13 is an area for displaying the information related to the user (the information processing device 10) such as the status including the user's physical strength or attack power, the ranking, or the like. The display control unit 140 is capable of causing various kinds of information related to the user that is acquired from the server 20 to be displayed in the window W13. Moreover, in this example, the physical strength of the user is represented as HP, and the attack power is represented as ATK. The display control unit 140 may acquire information related to the team to which the user belongs from the server 20 and cause it to be displayed in the window W13.
The window W14 is an example of an icon used to perform transition to various control screens regarding the battle game. In this manner, the display control unit 140 may control a display interface for the user to perform the processing regarding the battle game. Moreover, it is conceivable that examples of the various control screens regarding the battle game include a screen for user information setting, a screen for communication with other users, or the like.
As described above, it is possible for the display control unit 140 according to the present embodiment to control display of the information related to the user (the information processing device 10) or the information on the processing related to the battle game, in addition to the tag information associated with the real object 30.
Then, the control regarding simplification of the display information by the display control unit 140 is described. The display control unit 140 according to the present embodiment has a function of simplifying and displaying the tag information depending on various conditions. The simplification and displaying of the tag information makes it possible for the user to recognize intuitively the tag information associated with the real object 30. The display control unit 140 may simplify the display information, in one example, by using icons and a change in colors.
The simplification of the display information by the display control unit 140 is now described in detail with reference to
When comparing
The display control unit 140 according to the present embodiment is capable of displaying the tag display while simplifying it on the basis of the moving speed of the real object 30 in consideration of the above situation. In this regard, the moving speed of the real object 30 may be a value calculated by the server 20 from the change of the position information of the real object 30, or may be a value calculated by the information processing device 10 from the information regarding the real object 30 that is acquired from the sensor unit 160.
Referring to
Moreover, the display control unit 140 is also capable of simplifying the information to be displayed on the basis of the moving speed of the user (the information processing device 10). By performing this control, it is possible to reduce the influence on the visual information of the real space perceived by the user to be small and to secure the safety at the time of movement of the user. In this event, the display control unit 140 may display the windows W11 to W14 while simplifying it in a similar manner to the tag displays T11 to T13. In addition, the display positions of the windows W11 to W14 may be controlled to move to a corner of the user's field of view. The moving speed of the user (information processing device 10) can be calculated on the basis of the information acquired from the sensor unit 160.
Furthermore, the display control unit 140 is also capable of simplifying the information to be displayed in consideration of the information amount of the tag information associated with the real object 30.

Subsequently, the object management unit 230 returns the acquired information related to the real object 30 to the control unit 250 (S5057).
In a case where the acquisition of the user information and the information related to the real object 30 is normally completed, the control unit 250 notifies the display control unit 140 of the information processing device 10 owned by the attacker and the owner of the start of the battle (S5058a and S5058b). Then, the input control unit 150 of the information processing device 10a owned by the attacker recognizes the attack instruction on the basis of the input by the user and requests the control unit 250 of the server 20 to perform the attack processing (S5059). The control unit 250, when receiving the attack request, performs the battle determination on the basis of the attack (S5060). Specifically, the control unit 250 performs processing of subtracting a value obtained by multiplying the attack power of the attacker by a random number from the acquisition difficulty level of the real object 30 to be the attack target. Here, the description will be continued assuming that the acquisition difficulty level of the real object 30 does not become 0 or less after the processing.
Subsequently, the control unit 250 transmits the result of the battle determination to the display control unit 140 of the information processing device 10 of the attacker and the owner (S5061a and S5061b). Then, the display control unit 140 of an information processing device 10b owned by the owner recognizes the attack instruction on the basis of the input by the user and requests the control unit 250 of the server 20 to perform the attack processing (S5062). Moreover, here, in a case where the attack request from the information processing device 10b fails to be checked within a predetermined time, the control unit 250 may perform the subsequent processing without waiting for the attack request. By performing the processing as described above by the control unit 250, even if the owner fails to participate in the battle game, it is possible for the attacker to continue the game.
Then, the control unit 250, when receiving the attack request, performs a battle determination based on the attack (S5063). Specifically, the control unit 250 performs processing of subtracting a value obtained by multiplying the attack power of the owner by a random number from the physical strength of the attacker. Here, the description will be continued assuming that the physical strength of the attacker does not become 0 or less after the processing.
Subsequently, the control unit 250 transmits the result of the battle determination to the display control unit 140 of the information processing device 10 of the attacker and the owner (S5064a and S5064b). Then, steps S5059 to S5063 described above are repeatedly processed until the physical strength of the attacker or the acquisition difficulty level of the real object 30 becomes 0 or less.
