The “item ID” is information for specifying an item owned by the player, and corresponds to the item ID in the item information storage unit 72. The “harvested number” indicates the number that the player has harvested the item at the player's training farm. “Number in arrangement” indicates the number of the item arranged on the appreciation farm of the player. The “arrangeable number” indicates the number of items that can be arranged on the appreciation farm of the player. In the present embodiment, the viewing farm management unit 46 associates each player with the identification information of each player within the range of the “harvested number” of the harvested items stored in the harvested item information storage unit 68. The harvested item can be placed in That is, the “arrangeable number” is a value obtained by subtracting the “number during arrangement” from the “harvested number”.

  The breeding farm management unit 44 stores the harvested item in the harvested item information storage unit 68 in association with the identification information of the player when one of the players harvests the breeding item that can be harvested in the breeding farm of the player. Update to increase the “harvested number” of harvested items.

  The appreciation farm management unit 46, when a harvested item is placed on the appreciation farm of one of the players, is associated with the identification information of the player and is stored in the “acquired item information storage unit 68”. An update is performed to increase the “number during placement” and decrease the “number of possible placement”. On the other hand, when the harvested item arranged in the viewing farm is removed from the viewing farm of any player, the viewing farm management unit 46 stores the harvested item information in association with the identification information of the player. The update is performed to decrease the “number of arranged items” of the harvested items stored in the unit 68 and increase the “arrangeable number”.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, when the player with the player ID “P001” places one item with the item ID “I001” in the placement section of the own viewing farm, the viewing farm management unit 46 displays the harvested item. The information storage unit 68 is updated as shown in FIG.

  Next, the configuration of the owned item information storage unit 66 will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal configuration of the possessed item information storage unit 66 in the present embodiment. The owned item information storage unit 66 includes items such as “player ID”, “item ID”, “owned number”, “placement location”, “number being placed”, “number that can be placed”, and the like.

  “Player ID” is information for identifying the player. The “item ID” is information for specifying an item owned by the player, and corresponds to the item ID in the item information storage unit 72.

  The “owned number” indicates the number of items owned by the player. “Arrangement place” is information indicating the place where the item is arranged, whether it is a breeding farm or an appreciation farm (if there are a plurality of appreciation farms, which of the appreciation farms).

  “Number during placement” indicates that the item is placed on the player's breeding farm or appreciation farm. The “arrangeable number” indicates the number of items that can be arranged on the player's training farm or appreciation farm.

  For example, when an animal item or a decoration item is placed on the viewing farm of any player, the viewing farm management unit 46 stores the item stored in the possessed item information storage unit 66 in association with the identification information of the player. An update is performed to increase the “number of placements” and decrease the “number of placements”. On the other hand, when the viewing farm management unit 46 removes, for example, an animal item or a decoration item arranged in the viewing farm from the viewing farm of any player, the viewing farm management unit 46 associates with the identification information of the player. Update is performed to decrease the “number of placements” of the item stored in the information storage unit 66 and increase the “number of placements”.

  In addition, although not shown in figure, the item information storage part 72 can memorize | store the dog dog item which can be arrange | positioned as a guard dog item in the guard dog arrangement | positioning area | region of a breeding farm or an appreciation farm ranch. The watch farm item management unit 46 also stores the watch dog item in the possessed item information storage unit 66 in association with the identification information of the player when the watch dog item is placed or removed from the watch farm of any player. In addition, the “number during placement” and the “number possible placement” of the watchdog item are updated.

  In the illustrated example, when the breeding item owned by the player is installed in the breeding farm of the player, the breeding farm management unit 44 decreases the number of the breeding items owned by the owned item information storage unit 66. Updates can be made. In other words, the breeding item can be configured not to be an owned item of the player when the player is placed on the breeding item. Therefore, in FIG. 12, no information is input to the “arrangement place”, “number in arrangement”, and “arrangeable number” for the breeding item. In this case, an item that is being nurtured by the nurturing farm can be managed by the nurturing farm information storage unit 62. In another example, the owned item information storage unit 66 may include a “nurturing item” column for managing the breeding item being grown in the breeding farm.

  Next, the configuration of the player information storage unit 70 will be described. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal configuration of the player information storage unit 70 in the present embodiment. The player information storage unit 70 includes “player ID”, “level”, “player name”, “friend player”, “owned item information”, “harvested item information”, “nurturing farm information”, “appreciation farm information”. And so on.

  “Player ID” is information for identifying the player. “Level” indicates the level of the player in the game. “Player name” is information on the display name of the player. “Friend player” is information for identifying a friend player of the player.

  “Owned item information” is information indicating items owned by the player. In the present embodiment, the “owned item information” column can store link information to the owned item information of the player stored in the owned item information storage unit 66.

  The “harvested item information” is information indicating a harvested item that is a breeding item harvested at the breeding farm of the player. In the present embodiment, in the “harvested item information” column, link information to the harvested item information of the player stored in the harvested item information storage unit 68 can be stored.

  “Growing farm information” is information relating to the growing farm of the player. In the present embodiment, in the “nurturing farm information” column, link information to the training farm information of the player stored in the training farm information storage unit 62 can be stored.

  “Appreciation farm information” is information regarding the appreciation farm of the player. In the present embodiment, in the “appreciation farm information” column, link information to the appreciation farm information of the player stored in the appreciation farm information storage unit 64 can be stored.

  Although not shown, the player information storage unit 70 displays “icon information” that is information for specifying a display icon of the player, and “in-game game content” indicating the in-game currency that the player owns in the game. You may have items, such as a currency.

  FIG. 16 shows a state where the player has selected the “animal” button in the upper type selection button group 510 in the upper type selection button group 510. At this time, as the lower type selection button group 520b, buttons of categories in which animal items are further classified such as “help” and “mischief” are displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 14, when the player selects a harvested item or the like to be arranged from the arrangement item selection screen 500 as shown in FIG. 15 or FIG. 16 (YES in step S206), the appreciation farm is displayed again (step S208). .

  When the player selects a placement section in which the selected harvested item or the like is placed (YES in step S210), the selected harvested item is displayed in the placement section. If a decoration item such as a fence or background is selected in step S206, there is only one place, so the processing in step S210 and step S212 is omitted, for example, the decoration item selected in step S208. It is possible to display an appreciation farm in a state where is arranged. Next, the viewing farm management unit 46 stores the viewing farm information in the viewing farm information storage unit 64 (step S213).

  Thereafter, when the arranged item is a harvested item (YES in step S214), the viewing farm management unit 46 updates the number of corresponding harvested items in the harvested item information storage unit 68 (step S216). . On the other hand, when the item arranged in step S214 is not a harvested item (NO in step S214), the viewing farm management unit 46 updates the number of corresponding items in the owned item information storage unit 66 (step S218). . The process ends here.
