The server communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2 wirelessly or by wire.

The scoring unit 11 creates scoring information 131 by scoring the user town information 130 stored in the storage unit 13 . Here, scoring means, for example, calculating a score value for a predetermined item by predetermined calculation using a plurality of parameter values included in the user town information 130 .

Here, the user town information 130 will be described with reference to FIG. The user town information 130 includes information necessary for progressing the game, user information (user town information 130a), and information such as various parameters indicating the state of the user's town (user town information 130b). In one embodiment, the user town information 130a includes information on a user ID 1300 that identifies the user, the number 1301 of problems solved by residents, the number of quests completed 1302, and the number 1303 of various installations installed in the user's town. Preferably, the user city information 130 includes information on a friend user ID 1304 for identifying a friend user and the date and time of the previous scoring 1305, which will be described later. The user town information 130b also includes an income value 1306, an enjoyment value 1307, a convenience value 1308, and a beauty value 1309 as parameters related to installed objects. The information used for scoring has been specifically exemplified, but the information included in the user town information 130 is not limited to these. may include information such as experience points required for

The number 1301 of problems solved by residents is the number of requests or the like notified by the residents of the town in the game that the user has responded to. The number of quests cleared 1302 is the number of tasks (quests) generated in the game by the user.

The number of installations 1303 is the number of installations such as business facilities such as shops and bowling alleys, decoration facilities such as objects, community facilities such as post offices, weeds/miscellaneous trees, and roads. Income value 1306 indicating income per hour of the facility, enjoyment value 1307 indicating enjoyment of the facility, beauty value 1309 indicating the beauty of the facility, etc. are predetermined for the business facility. A pleasure value 1307, a beauty value 1309, and the like are predetermined for the decoration facility. A convenience value 1308, a cleanness value 1309, etc. indicating the convenience of the facility are predetermined for the community facility. A cleanness value 1309 or the like is predetermined for weeds, miscellaneous trees, roads, and the like. Note that the enjoyment value 1307 of each facility may be kept private to the user.

Returning to the description of FIG. The scoring information 131 is information indicating the result of scoring the user town information 130 for each predetermined index by the scoring unit 11 . In one embodiment, the scoring information 131 includes scores for each indicator of “happiness”, “rich”, “fun”, “beautiful”, “convenient”, and “balanced”, and the total value of the scores, It is not limited to these.

The "happiness" score is calculated based on the sum of the number 1301 of problems solved and the number 1302 of quests cleared by the residents. The “rich” score is calculated based on the total income value 1306 of the business facility. More specifically, it is calculated by multiplying the income value 1306 associated with each business facility and the number 1303 of each business facility. The “enjoyable” score is calculated based on the sum of the enjoyment values 1307 of the business facilities and decoration facilities. More specifically, it is calculated by multiplying the enjoyment value 1307 associated with each business facility and each decoration facility by the number 1303 of each business facility and each decoration facility. The "beautiful" score is calculated based on each business facility, each decoration facility, the number of weeds and miscellaneous trees 1303, and the arrangement of roads. More specifically, it is calculated by multiplying the beauty value 1309 associated with each installed object by the number 1303 of each installed object. A "convenience" score is calculated based on the total convenience value 1308 associated with the community facility. More specifically, it is calculated by multiplying the convenience value 1308 associated with each community facility by the number of each community facility. The “Balanced” score is calculated based on the dispersion of scores for the above five indicators. More specifically, it is calculated by subtracting the standard deviation of each score from a predetermined numerical value.

Preferably, the scoring information 131 further includes overall ranking information and neighborhood ranking information based on comparison with scoring information 131 relating to users other than the user himself/herself. The overall ranking information indicates the user's own score ranking among all users playing the game. Neighborhood ranking information indicates the score ranking of the user himself/herself in a predetermined user group consisting of a plurality of users. This user group is composed of, for example, the user himself and other users (friend users) who have made mutual friend registration with the user him/herself.

The advice selection unit 12 determines the index with the lowest score based on the scoring information 131, and selects the index with the lowest score and advice information 132 indicating countermeasures for increasing the score of the index. For example, when the score of the “enjoyable” index is the lowest, this countermeasure presents the facility with the highest enjoyment value 1307 to encourage installation.

Preferably, the advice selection unit 12 identifies facilities not installed by the user based on the user town information 130 and selects the advice information 132 based on the identification result and the scoring information 131 . More specifically, it selects the advice information 132 indicating measures to encourage the installation of the facility with the highest enjoyment value among the facilities that have not been installed. In this way, by identifying an operation that the user has not performed yet and selecting the advice information 132 based on the identification result, it is possible to prevent the operation already performed by the user from being presented as a countermeasure, and the usefulness of the advice information 132 can be prevented. can improve sexuality.
