[Embodiment]
First, before describing an embodiment of the present invention, a brief description will be given of a game (hereinafter referred to as "this game") to which an information processing system (hereinafter referred to as "this system") according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied.
This game is a so-called action game in which the player repeats battles and events set during the game, aiming to ultimately complete the game. In this game, the player freely controls a character displayed in a virtual space by using various input operations. The player progresses through the game by skillfully using guns, explosives, and other weapons to progress through events and complete missions (e.g., defeating enemy characters).
The game has the following distinctive features:
In other words, in this game, the weapons and items (hereinafter collectively referred to as "game media") owned by the player (the character controlled by the player) in the game are managed in a virtually generated management medium (hereinafter referred to as an "attaché case").
Specifically, the briefcase has a two-dimensional or three-dimensional capacity, including its shape. Similarly, each game content that appears in the game also has a two-dimensional or three-dimensional capacity, including its shape. When game content is stored in the briefcase, the capacity of the briefcase is consumed by the capacity of each game content.
In other words, during the game, the player can only carry as much game content as can fit in an attaché case, and must efficiently select the limited game content to play as they progress through the game. By employing such functions, the game achieves high levels of game playability. However, such functions are merely one of the prerequisites of the present invention, and further features and innovations of the present invention will be described separately below.

<Summary>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of this system.
As shown in Fig. 1, the system includes a game device 1 and a server 2. The game device 1 and the server 2 are connected to each other via a predetermined network N such as the Internet. However, the network N is not an essential component, and other networks such as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (registered trademark), and LAN (Local Area Network) may also be used. Note that hereinafter, when simply referring to "images," this includes any type of image, such as "moving images" and "still images."

Game device 1 is used by a player who wishes to use this system. Game device 1 may be a general-purpose home game console, a PC (Personal Computer), a smartphone, a tablet, or the like. Game device 1 executes various processes required to progress through the game.

Server 2 is managed by an administrator of the system. Server 2 is composed of a general-purpose PC or similar device. It communicates with game device 1 and other devices, and stores and manages various information required for the progress of the game.

<Hardware configuration>
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a game device in this system.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game device 1 includes a control unit 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input/output interface 15, an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

The control unit 11 is configured by a microcomputer including a CPU, a GPU, a semiconductor memory, etc. The control unit 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 18 to the RAM 13.
The RAM 13 also stores information necessary for the control unit 11 to execute various processes as needed.

The control unit 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are interconnected via a bus 14. The bus 14 is also connected to an input/output interface 15. The input/output interface 15 is connected to an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

The output unit 16 outputs image information, audio information, etc. to a display, speaker, etc. The image information and audio information output by the output unit 16 is output from the display, speaker, etc. in a form that is recognizable by humans as an image or audio.

The input unit 17 is, for example, a game controller equipped with sensor functions, and inputs various information in response to input operations by the player.

The storage unit 18 is composed of a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD), and stores various information. For example, the storage unit 18 stores various game programs, save data, account information, and other information required to progress through the game.

The communication unit 19 controls communications between other hardware and other devices via a network N, including the Internet.

The drive 20 is provided as needed. Removable media 31, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory, is appropriately attached to the drive 20. Various programs for executing the game are stored on the removable media 31. The programs read from the removable media 31 by the drive 20 are installed in the storage unit 18 as needed.
Furthermore, the removable media 31 can also store various types of information stored in the storage unit 18 in the same manner as the storage unit 18 .

The hardware configuration of the server 2 can be basically the same as that of the game device 1, so a detailed explanation will be omitted. Cooperation between these various hardware and software components enables the game device 1 and server 2 to perform various processes.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the game device of FIG. 2 and the server of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 11 of the game device 1 executes various programs and the like, thereby causing a game processing execution means 60, an input operation reception means 62, an item management means 64, a capacity display means 66, and a display control means 68 to function.

The game processing execution means 60 of the game device 1 executes various processes related to the game.
Specifically, the game processing execution means 60 reads virtual game space objects and textures included in the game information from a storage unit (not shown) in accordance with various input operations by the player, etc., and generates two-dimensional or three-dimensional images, sounds, etc. related to the game while executing the game program. In other words, the game processing execution means 60 controls the progress of the game by generating and managing the results of the operation instructions given by the player.
Furthermore, the game processing execution means 60 transmits various pieces of information relating to the game to the server 2 as appropriate.

The input operation receiving means 62 receives input operations related to the game from the player. Here, the input operations received by the input operation receiving means 62 include information regarding the type of button or analog stick used for the input operation, as well as information regarding the number of times it was pressed.

The item management means 64 manages each of the game media owned by the player based on the capacity set for each of the game media. Specifically, the item management means 64 manages an attaché case, which is a predetermined management medium used to manage the game media owned by the player. Note that information regarding the capacity set for each of the game media is managed and stored in a database (not shown) provided in an area of the memory unit 18.

Here, the item management means 64 is provided with an item placement means 80 , a capacity determination means 82 , and an item organization means 84 .
The item placement means 80 associates each of the game contents owned by the player with a predetermined management medium, and places each of the game contents associated with the management medium inside the management medium. Specifically, the item placement means 80 places the target game contents in a predetermined area of the briefcase in response to an input operation by the player.
Furthermore, the item placement means 80 manages the current storage status of the briefcase based on the placement of each game content.

When the player acquires new game media, the capacity determination means 82 determines whether the newly acquired game media can be managed based on the capacity set for each of the newly acquired game media. Specifically, the capacity determination means 82 determines whether each of the target game media can be stored in the attaché case based on the capacity set for each of the target game media and the current storage status of the attaché case.

The item organizing means 84 organizes the game media by changing the position or orientation of each of the game media placed inside the management medium. Specifically, the item organizing means 84 generates a game image (e.g., the game image in Figure 5 or Figure 6) that the player can check when changing the storage status of the briefcase.

When the player acquires new game media, the capacity display means 66 displays the capacity set for each of the game media in a manner that allows the player to confirm it. Specifically, the capacity display means 66 generates a game image (e.g., the game image in FIG. 4 ) that the player can confirm when purchasing the game media and that includes information about the capacity preset for each of the target game media.
If the capacity determination means 82 determines that the target game medium cannot be stored in the attaché case, the capacity display means 66 generates a game image indicating this.

The display control means 68 controls the display of various game images, etc. on the output unit 16.

As shown in Figure 3, the control unit 200 of the server 2 executes various programs and the like to function as a game information management means 220.

The game information management means 220 of the server 2 manages various information required for the game to progress on the game device 1 and executes various processes. Specifically, for example, the game information management means 220 performs tasks such as authenticating account information sent from the game device 1 and distributing game information in response to download requests for various game information from the game device 1.

Next, we will explain specific game images with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Figures 4 and 5 show examples of images displayed on a game device that constitutes an information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

4 shows an example of a game image (hereinafter referred to as a "purchase screen") that is displayed on the game device 1 when a player wishes to purchase game media within a game. As shown in FIG. 4, the player can purchase any game media by selecting the game media they want from the list of game media displayed, selecting the display area KJ1, and pressing a predetermined button (e.g., the confirm button).
In the example of Fig. 4, each game medium displayed in a list is specifically shown with the amount of space required to store that game medium in an attaché case. Display area AJ1 in Fig. 4 also displays the player's current space availability in the attaché case. The player decides which game medium to actually purchase while checking the space availability in the attaché case and the capacity of the game medium they wish to purchase. In the example of Fig. 4, black squares in display area AJ1 indicate currently used space, and white squares in display area AJ1 indicate unused space.
Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 4 , among the game media displayed in the list, there are some game media marked "NO SPACE." This indicates that, if the game media were purchased, they would not be able to fit into the briefcase as is, given the current free space in the briefcase. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 4 , of the game media displayed on the left side of FIG. 4 , the top two game media are marked "NO SPACE." This is because each of the game media requires a capacity of 12 squares (2 vertical × 6 horizontal), and the current briefcase does not have enough free space for 12 squares (2 vertical × 6 horizontal).
In such a case, the player can organize the inside of the attaché case by selecting display area AS1 and pressing a predetermined button (for example, the enter button). A method for organizing the inside of the attaché case will be specifically described below with reference to Figures 5 and 6.

The example in Fig. 5 shows an example of a game image (hereinafter referred to as an "organization screen") that is displayed on the game device 1 when the player organizes the attaché case. Specifically, the example in Fig. 5 displays a display area BT1 that reflects the current arrangement area of the attaché case, and a display area BS1 that includes game content that the player wishes to newly store. Note that display area BS1 is a virtual work area that the player can freely use to organize the attaché case.
In the example of Figure 5, the game medium SG1 that the player wishes to store requires a capacity of 12 squares (2 vertically x 6 horizontally), and the current storage status of the briefcase does not allow the game medium SG1 to be stored as is.
In such a case, the player may select display area BT1 and rearrange the game media in the briefcase to secure a place to store the game media SG1. Specifically, for example, the game media SG1 can be stored by rearranging the layout in the briefcase as shown in Fig. 6. In this way, the player can freely rearrange the layout in the briefcase.
After changing the placement of the game media, the player can, for example, select display area BB1 and press a predetermined button (e.g., a confirmation button), thereby transitioning back to the game purchase screen shown in Figure 4, for example.

The above describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and includes modifications and improvements within the scope of achieving the objectives of the present invention.

<Other embodiments>

In the above-described embodiment (particularly the embodiment of FIG. 4 ), the system has been described as presenting the organizing screen to the player when a predetermined display area on the purchase screen is selected, but this is not limited to this. The system may present the organizing screen to the player and allow the player to organize the game content at any time, such as when a predetermined input operation is performed or when new game content is acquired, rather than when a game content is purchased.
More specifically, the system may have a function that automatically transitions to an organization screen when a player selects a game medium that displays "NO SPACE" on a purchase screen (e.g., the game status in FIG. 4).

Furthermore, although not described in the above-described embodiments (particularly the embodiments of Figures 5 and 6), the present system may also have a function that allows game media and the like placed in the work area to be directly sold or discarded on the organization screen (e.g., the game status of Figures 5 or 6).

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiments (particularly the embodiments of Figures 4 and 5), the "NO SPACE" message is displayed even for game media that can be stored simply by organizing the game media in the briefcase (without discarding them), but this is not limited to this. The system may have a function that does not display the "NO SPACE" message if the game media in question can be stored simply by organizing them (without discarding them).

Furthermore, although not explained in the above embodiment, the system may also have a function that provides a warehouse or the like for storing game content that the player cannot carry around with them. By using the warehouse, players can also manage game content that cannot be stored in an attaché case.

Furthermore, although the above embodiment has been described simply, the capacity of various game media in this system may be expressed not simply as a numerical value, but also as an area or volume, including shape.
Furthermore, in such cases, the system may change the shape adopted depending on the type of game content. For example, if the game content is a gun, the system may adopt a shape close to a rectangle, and if the game content is medicine or a recovery item, the system may adopt a square shape.
By adopting this specification, the system can incorporate a puzzle-like element of figuring out how to arrange game content within a limited capacity, which is believed to allow players to enjoy managing the game content while playing the game.

Although not described in the above embodiment, the system may also have a function for automatically organizing the game contents stored in the briefcase. For example, the system may have a feature for automatically rearranging the game contents so as to maximize the free space in the briefcase.
The system may be designed to always allow such an automatic function to be executed during the game, or may be designed to allow such an automatic function to be executed only in limited situations during the game. When the system is designed to allow the automatic sorting function to be executed, the system may be designed to allow such an automatic sorting function to be executed only when, for example, there is no enemy character in the game (the function cannot be executed during combat), when there are no enemy characters nearby, or when game content can be exchanged (for example, when using an in-game shop).

Furthermore, the system may be configured to execute the automatic organization function described above when a player selects a game medium that displays "NO SPACE." Note that if the system is unable to secure free space for the selected game medium even after executing the automatic organization function, the system may or may not execute the automatic organization function (it may cancel the execution of the automatic organization function).

Furthermore, although not described in the above embodiment, the game may be executed on any hardware (e.g., game device 1), such as a home game console such as PlayStation (registered trademark), a portable game console such as Nintendo Switch (registered trademark), various game consoles designed for commercial use, or electronic devices such as a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Furthermore, although not explained in the above embodiment, the content of the game related to this system is not limited. This system may be applied to any type of game, such as FPS (First Person Shooter), TPS (Third Person Shooter), RPG (Role Playing Game), action game, simulation game, sports game, card game, battle royale (symmetrical or asymmetrical), MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), music game, fighting game, quiz game, etc.

The above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software.
In other words, the functional configurations shown in FIG. 3 and the like are merely examples and are not particularly limited.
That is, it is sufficient that the information processing system is provided with a function that can execute the above-described series of processes as a whole, and the type of functional block used to realize this function is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 3. Furthermore, the location of the functional block is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 3, and may be arbitrary.
Furthermore, one functional block may be configured by hardware alone, by software alone, or by a combination of these.

Furthermore, the number and users of the various hardware components that make up this system are optional, and it may also be configured to include other hardware.

Furthermore, when a series of processes is performed by software, the programs that make up that software are installed onto a computer or other device from a network or recording medium.

The computer may also be a computer that is built into dedicated hardware, or a computer that can execute various functions by installing various programs.
That is, for example, the various hardware in the above-described embodiments may be freely adopted as any computer, any mobile terminal such as a smartphone, any game console, etc. Furthermore, any combination of types and contents of various input units and various output units may be adopted.

In addition, the recording medium containing such a program may be configured not only as a removable medium (not shown) provided separately from the device main body in order to provide the program to the player, but also as a recording medium provided to the player in a state where it is pre-installed in the device main body.

In addition, in this specification, the term "system" refers to an overall device composed of multiple devices, multiple means, etc.

Even when these other embodiments are adopted, the effects of this embodiment will be achieved. It is also possible to combine this embodiment with other embodiments, and other embodiments with each other, as appropriate.

To sum up, the information processing system to which the present invention is applied can take various forms having the following configurations.
An information processing system for managing game content in a game,
management means (e.g., item management means 64) for managing each of the game contents owned by the player based on the capacity set for each of the game contents;
a display means (e.g., capacity display means 66) that displays the capacity set for each of the game contents in a manner that allows the player to confirm the capacity when the player acquires new game contents;
Any information processing system having the above is sufficient.

That is, the item management means 64 functions as a management means.
The capacity display means 66 functions as a display means.
The item placement means 80 functions as a management means.
The capacity determining means 82 functions as a management means.
The item organizing means 84 functions as an organizing means.

<Effects>
