[Embodiment]
An embodiment of a game system 1 of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Game Description>
1 , a registration terminal 2, a management server device 3, a game server device 4, a game terminal 5, and an auxiliary terminal 7 are communicably connected to one another via a communication network 6 such as the Internet or a LAN, and a game is executed on the game terminal 5. The game executed on the game terminal 5 is managed by a launcher app also executed on the game terminal 5.

This launcher app is a specific example of a "management app" that manages the execution of games, including prescription games, executed on the game terminal 5. While the launcher app manages the execution of several games, including prescription games, on the game terminal 5, it does not need to manage all games executed on the game terminal 5.

The games of this embodiment are online games executed on the game system 1, and include prescription games, such as hidden object games or puzzle games, prescribed for the purpose of preventing a user's decline in ability or treating an illness, as well as other games. Prescription games may be games for the user's rehabilitation. Prescribing a game refers to making a specific game playable to a user or requesting that a user play a specific game. A prescription game may be a game that is playable only by the prescribed user, or a game that is playable by users other than the prescribed user. Note that when a game that is playable by users other than the prescribed user is prescribed to a user, it is preferable that the game conditions, such as the game difficulty level and awarded game items, in-game events, and playable game content, when the prescribed user plays the game are set differently from when the game is played by users other than the prescribed user. In this specification, these prescription games and other games are collectively referred to as "games."

In a hidden object game, for example, the player controls a player character and must find multiple specified items hidden in the virtual game space of each stage within a time limit. In this game, the player can clear the stage by finding all of the specified items within the time limit.

In a puzzle game, for example, multiple colored parts appear one after another on the game screen, and the player must match a certain number of the same colored parts to remove them. In puzzle games, a target number is set for each stage, and the stage can be cleared by removing the target number of parts within the number of moves set for that stage.

Such games can be played by the user of the game terminal 5 alone, or in a multi-player competitive or cooperative game with other users. The user of the game terminal 5 may also play cooperatively with an assistant using the auxiliary terminal 7. Such games are executed using a game terminal 5 that is an electronic device such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer, a portable game console such as the Nintendo Switch (registered trademark), or a home game console such as the PlayStation (registered trademark) or XBOX (registered trademark). The following example illustrates a case where the game terminal 5 is a smartphone.

<Game System Overview>
As shown in FIG. 2, the game system 1 includes a registration terminal 2, a management server device 3, a game server device 4, a game terminal 5, an auxiliary terminal 7, and a communication network 6.

Registration terminal 2 is used by a diagnoser. A diagnoser is a third party who is able to diagnose users who have a disease or a decline in cognitive function or other abilities. A diagnoser is, for example, a specific doctor, a group of multiple doctors, or a medical institution to which the doctor or group belongs. A diagnoser is not limited to a human being, but may also be a computer or other device with diagnostic capabilities. A diagnoser is one specific example of a "condition specifier" in the present invention.

The registration terminal 2 may be a personal computer, smartphone, tablet, or the like. For example, after diagnosing a patient user, the diagnostician can operate the registration terminal 2 to send and register diagnostic information, which is information about the user's diagnostic results, to the management server device 3. The diagnostic information includes information such as the diagnoser's name, the diagnoser's identification number, the user's name, the user's identification number, the name of the user's disease, and the class of the user's disease, as well as information about the prescription game prescribed by the diagnostician to the user and designation information, which is information specifying the time period during which the user will play the prescription game.

In other words, the designation information is information that specifies the time range during which the user can execute (play) the prescribed game, and restricts the execution of the prescribed game outside of that time. The designation information is a specific example of the "first condition" in the present invention.

A disease class is a numerical representation of the severity of a disease. The higher the class number, the more severe the symptoms. In this embodiment, a user diagnosed by a diagnostician corresponds to a player who plays a game using a game terminal 5. Hereinafter, a user diagnosed by a diagnostician and a player of a game will be collectively referred to as "user."

The management server device 3 stores diagnostic information sent from the registration terminal 2 and recommended information sent from the auxiliary terminal 7, associated with each user. When user authentication using the game terminal 5 is successful, the management server device 3 encrypts the user's diagnostic information, recommended information, etc. and transmits them to the game terminal 5.

The game server device 4 stores game programs and game data, and manages the game data of the game terminals 5, more specifically, the game data for each account, and the progress of the game.

Each user is assigned first account information used by the management server device 3 and second account information used by the game server device 4, and each account information is associated with a game terminal 5. Each account information includes the user's identification number and password. The first account information and second account information are independent of each other, and the user's diagnostic information stored in the management server device 3 cannot be confirmed by the game server device 4.

The auxiliary terminal 7 is used by an assistant, such as the user's family member or helper, to manage the user's daily physical condition and give advice on the user's lifestyle. The assistant can operate the auxiliary terminal 7 to send and register recommendation information to the management server device 3, which specifies time periods during which the user is recommended to play the prescription game, in accordance with the user's lifestyle, etc. The auxiliary terminal 7 may be a smartphone, tablet, personal computer, or the like.

The game terminal 5 is used by a user. When logging in to the management server device 3, the game terminal 5 transmits first account information to the management server device 3. The first account information is used for user authentication when logging in to the management server device 3. Once user authentication is successful and login is performed, mutual communication becomes possible between the management server device 3 and the game terminal 5. After logging in, the management server device 3 encrypts the user's diagnostic information, recommendation information, etc. and transmits them to the game terminal 5.

In addition to operating the game terminal 5 to play the prescription game, the user also determines and inputs a play plan indicating the planned time for playing the prescription game via the launcher app. The play plan is determined by the user themselves, within the time range of the specified information designated by the diagnoser, while referring to the recommended information from the assistant. When the user plays the prescription game in accordance with the play plan accepted by the game terminal 5, the user is awarded benefits that allow them to progress through the game with an advantage. Information indicating the play plan is called play plan information. The play plan information, specified information, and recommended information are all information for one day. The launcher app is a specific example of a "management app" of the present invention. The play plan is a specific example of a "second condition" of the present invention.

The game terminal 5 generates medical mode parameters based on the diagnostic information acquired from the management server device 3. The medical mode parameters are control parameters for modifying the game content in accordance with the diagnostician's diagnostic information, such as the game difficulty level and the number of game contents awarded in the game. Game contents are electronic data representing elements related to the game, such as items that the player character can use in the virtual game space. For example, in the game system 1 of this embodiment, several items can be adjusted for each of the object search game and the puzzle game. In this way, by adjusting the game items using the medical mode parameters, it is possible to make adjustments such as lowering the difficulty of the game for users with impaired cognitive function.

In this way, the game system 1 of this embodiment allows the user to use the game terminal 5 to play a prescription game prescribed by a diagnostician. For example, if the user's cognitive function is declining, the user can play a game that corresponds to the user's cognitive function and its class. By the user playing such a game, the decline in the user's cognitive function can be suppressed. Therefore, in order to properly obtain the effects of the prescription game, the user is required to play the prescription game for an appropriate amount of time according to the time period specified by the diagnostician. If the user plays the prescription game for an appropriate amount of time, the user will be awarded a benefit, which will motivate the user to play the prescription game voluntarily. In this way, the game system of this embodiment makes it possible to treat the user's illness by encouraging the user to play the game voluntarily and appropriately, without imposing stress on the user, such as by forcing them to play the game.

Specifically, the user refers to the designated information from the diagnostic information received from the registered terminal 2 and stored in the memory unit 55, and the recommended information received from the auxiliary terminal 7 and stored in the memory unit 55, on the display, and determines and inputs a play plan within at least the time period specified by the designated information. The accepting means 563 accepts a play plan as satisfying the conditions specified by the designated information if the play plan is within the time period specified by the designated information. The accepting means 563 will accept a play plan even if it is outside the time period specified by the recommended information, but checking the time period specified by the designated information makes it easier for the user to determine a play plan.

-Judgment means-
The determination means 564 determines whether the prescription game has been played in accordance with the play plan based on the play plan information stored in the storage unit 55 and the time during which the prescription game was played. Specifically, the determination means 564 compares the time period indicated by the play plan information with the time period during which the prescription game was actually played, and determines the degree of match between the two. The determination means 564 makes the determination by determining a degree of achievement divided into multiple stages according to the degree of match between the two, for example. That is, the determination means 564 can make a determination such that if the degree of match is 80% or more, it is achievement level A; if it is less than 80% but 60% or more, it is achievement level B; if it is less than 60%, it is achievement level C; etc.

-Processing method-
The processing means 565 performs processing to grant the user a game medium as a benefit, which enables the user to progress in the prescription game with an advantage, based on the determination of the determination means 564. The game medium granted to the user is stored in the storage unit 55, and when the user uses this game medium, the user can receive preferential treatment in progressing in the prescription game. The processing means 565 may also perform processing to give the user poor treatment in progressing in the prescription game, based on the determination of the determination means 564. That is, the processing means 565 can perform processing to give preferential treatment or poor treatment in progressing in the prescription game, based on the determination of the determination means 564. The benefit is granted by associating the game medium, etc. corresponding to the benefit with the user.

The processing means 565 may, for example, grant a bonus that has a greater effect the higher the level of achievement based on the above-mentioned level of achievement determined by the determination means 564.

-Display control means-
The display control means 566 controls the display output of a display (not shown) connected to the game terminal 5 based on user operations via the input unit 53. For example, the display control means 566 displays an input screen for inputting a play plan on the display.

<Display of input screen when entering play plan>
9 and 10 show examples of screens that are displayed on the display when the user inputs a play plan using the game terminal 5. FIG.

First, when the user has not yet input a play plan and the reception means 563 has not yet received a play plan, the display control means 566 displays the input screen shown in FIG. 9 on the display based on the specified information and recommended information stored in the memory unit 55. As shown in FIG. 9, the input screen 521 at this time displays, as a time bar 521a, information regarding the time periods when the user can play the prescription game, which is included in the specified information specified by the diagnostician, and candidate time periods that are candidates for the play plan, which have been generated based on the recommended information specified by the assistant. This time bar 521a displays information regarding the time periods when play is possible and the recommended information in a distinguishable manner. Specifically, on the time bar 521a, playable time periods 53a, time periods 53b corresponding to the recommended information, and other unplayable time periods 53c are each displayed in different colors or styles.

In addition, the input screen 521 displays in the specified information display portion 521b information specifying the time period during which the user can play the prescription game, the total play time during which the prescription game can be played during this time period, the continuous play time during which the prescription game can be played consecutively, and the time interval until the prescription game can be played again after the prescription game has been played for the continuous play time. The user can input a play plan on this time bar 521a by operating the input unit 53, which is, for example, a touch panel. In other words, the time period during which the user performs a touch operation on the time bar 521a is input as the play plan.

If the play plan entered by the user satisfies the specified information, including the available play time slots, the acceptance means 563 accepts the play plan; if not, the acceptance means 563 causes the display control means 566 to display on the input screen 521 a message that the play plan cannot be accepted.

Next, when the user inputs at least a portion of a play plan and the reception means 563 has accepted at least a portion of the play plan, the display control means 566 displays the input screen shown in FIG. 10 on the display based on the information regarding playable time periods, the recommended information, and the total play time and time interval included in the specified information. That is, when a portion of the play plan is input, time periods during which the prescribed game cannot be played are determined based on the input play plan. In the specific example shown in FIG. 10, the unplayable time periods during which the next play plan cannot be input are automatically determined based on the accepted play plan and the above-mentioned time interval, and the time period 53d, unplayable time period 53e, and playable time period 53a corresponding to the accepted play plan are displayed in different colors or styles on the time bar 521a. In this way, the display control means 566 automatically determines and displays the playable time periods and unplayable time periods on the display based on the accepted play plan, the information regarding playable time periods, the recommended information, and the conditions specified in the specified information including the total play time and time interval. This allows the user to easily visually grasp the time periods during which the prescribed game cannot be played, facilitating the input of a play plan.

At this time, at least a portion of the play plan information entered by the user is displayed in the play plan information display portion 521f of the input screen 521. Additionally, the conditions for obtaining the bonus are displayed in the display portion 521g of the input screen 521.

<Game system operation flow>
An example of the operation of the game system 1 of this embodiment will now be described.

<Play plan input processing>
FIG. 7 is a flow diagram showing the flow of a user inputting a play plan for playing a prescription game.

After diagnosing the user, the diagnoser operates the registration terminal 2 to log in to the management server device 3 and inputs diagnostic information, which is information on the user's diagnostic results, into the registration terminal 2. At this time, the diagnoser determines designated information based on the diagnostic results, including time periods when the prescription game suitable for the user can be played, and inputs this as part of the diagnostic information. The registration terminal 2 transmits the input diagnostic information to the management server device 3 (step S100). Upon receiving the diagnostic information from the registration terminal 2, the management server device 3 associates this diagnostic information with the user information stored in the user DB and stores it in the memory unit 35 (step S101).

After the user's diagnosis by the diagnoser, the user's assistant operates the auxiliary terminal 7 to log in to the management server device 3 and input recommended information to help the user plan their play of the prescription game (step S110). When inputting the recommended information, the assistant receives diagnostic information from the management server device 3 and confirms the specified information specified by the diagnoser. Upon receiving the recommended information from the auxiliary terminal 7, the management server device 3 associates this recommended information with the user information stored in the user DB and stores it in the memory unit 35 (step S111).

When the user then operates the game terminal 5 to launch the launcher app (step S120), the app execution means 562b of the game terminal 5 logs in to the management server device 3 using the first account information stored in the memory unit 55 (step S121). The management server device 3 receives the first account information sent from the game terminal 5 at the time of login and performs authentication based on the received first account information (step S122). If user authentication is successful, login by the user's game terminal 5 is successful, and the game terminal 5 becomes able to refer to diagnostic information, recommendation information, and the like stored in the management server device 3.

Next, when the user executes a function in the launcher app to input a play plan (step S130), the management server device 3 requests the specific information and recommended information required to input the play plan. In response, the management server device 3 transmits the user's specific information and recommended information to the game terminal 5 (step S131). Having received the specific information and recommended information, the game terminal 5 stores the received specific information and recommended information in the memory unit 55, and uses the display control means 566 to display an input screen for inputting a play plan (see Figures 9 and 10) on a display connected to the game terminal 5 (step S132).

The user inputs a play plan via the input unit 53 while referring to the displayed input screen such as that shown in Figure 9 or Figure 10 (step S133).

At this time, the reception means 563 accepts the input play plan if it is within the time period specified by the designation information; if it is not, it notifies the user with an image or audio prompting them to revise the play plan.

When the reception means 563 receives the play plan, the communication means 561 transmits the play plan information to the management server device 3 (step S134). Having received the play plan information, the management server device 3 stores the play plan information in association with this user in the storage unit 35 (step S135).

<Prescription Game Execution Determination Process>
Once the play plan is determined by the above process, it is then determined whether the user has played the prescribed game in accordance with the play plan. Figure 8 is a flow diagram showing the flow of determining whether the user has played the prescribed game in accordance with the play plan.

When a user operates the game terminal 5 to start playing the prescription game (step S200), the application execution means 562b logs in to the game server device 4 using the second account information stored in the memory unit 55 (step S201). The game server device 4 receives the second account information transmitted from the game terminal 5 at the time of login and performs authentication based on the received second account information (step S202). If user authentication is successful, login by the user's game terminal 5 is successful, and game data can be sent and received between the game terminal 5 and the game server device 4 (steps S203 and S204).

While or after the user is playing the prescription game on the game terminal 5, the communication means 561 of the game terminal 5 transmits a play log of the prescription game to the management server device 3 (step S210). The management server device 3 associates the received play log with the user and stores it in the memory unit 35 (step S211).

The determination means 564 of the game terminal 5 determines whether the prescription game was played in accordance with the play plan based on this play log and the play plan information stored in the memory unit 55 (step S220).

If the determination means 564 determines that the prescribed game has been played in accordance with the play plan, the processing means 565 grants the user a game medium as a bonus that enables the user to progress in the prescribed game with an advantage (step S221). On the other hand, if the determination means 564 determines that the prescribed game has not been played in accordance with the play plan, the processing means 565 may perform processing that discourages progress in the prescribed game.

Note that preferential treatment processing, such as the granting of benefits, by the processing means 565 is not performed solely by the game terminal 5, but is performed while verifying data with the management server device 3, thereby preventing data loss due to user fraud or communication failures.

The timing at which the determination means 564 makes the determination and the processing means 565 grants the bonus is, but is not limited to, the timing when the launcher app is launched on the game terminal 5 the next day. In other words, when the launcher app is launched for the first time that day, it is determined that the prescription game has been played in accordance with yesterday's play plan, and the bonus is granted.

Figure 11 is an example of a screen displayed on the display of the game terminal 5 at this time. When the launcher app is launched, the display control means 566 displays screen 522a or 522b regarding the awarding of a reward based on the determination by the determination means 564 and the processing of the processing means 565. If the prescribed game was played yesterday in sufficient conformance with the play plan, screen 522a, in which a high-quality reward will be awarded, is displayed on the display. On the other hand, if the prescribed game was played yesterday in some conformance with the play plan, screen 522b, in which a medium-quality reward will be awarded, is displayed on the display. Screen 522b, in which a medium-quality reward will be awarded, also displays text advising the user on how to improve their game play in order to receive a high-quality reward. In addition to these displays, details of yesterday's play plan and the time the prescribed game was played may also be displayed.

After these screens 522a or 522b are displayed, the display control means 566 causes the display to display the execution screen 523 of the launcher app. If the user selects on this execution screen 523 to play a prescription game or another game managed by the launcher app, the display control means 566 causes the display to display a screen 524 for selecting the game to play. On the other hand, if the user selects to input a play plan on the execution screen 523, the display control means 566 causes the display to display the input screen 521 shown in FIG. 9 or 10.

In summary, the program used in game system 1 causes the control unit 56 (computer) of game terminal 5 to function as: acceptance means 563 that accepts a play plan (second condition) specified by the user for a prescription game (first game) associated with the user to the extent that it satisfies specified information (first condition) specified by a diagnostician (condition specifier) other than the user, where the specified information (first condition) and play plan (second condition) relate to the play time for playing the prescription game (first game); determination means 564 that determines whether the prescription game (first game) has been executed in accordance with the play plan (second condition); and processing means 565 that performs processing to favor progress in the prescription game (first game) associated with the user based on the determination of the determination means 564.

<Effects>
According to the above-described game system 1, it is possible to provide a system that easily encourages users to voluntarily play the prescription game in accordance with the time period for playing the prescription game, which is specified by the diagnostician based on the user's diagnosis results. This creates an environment where users can easily play the prescription game for an appropriate time according to the user's illness, etc., and provides a system that appropriately improves the user's illness, etc.

In game system 1, the diagnostician is a doctor or other person who can diagnose (determine) the user's illness or abilities, making it possible to configure a system that can provide appropriate treatment.

In game system 1, the designation information may include information specifying the time period during which the user can play the prescription game, the total play time during which the prescription game can be played, the continuous play time during which the prescription game can be executed consecutively, and the time interval that is the time until the prescription game can be played again after the continuous play time of the prescription game has been played. By using such designation information, it is possible not only to make the prescription game playable only during a specific time period, but also to encourage the user to play the prescription game for a certain period of time, then take a break for a certain period of time or more before playing the prescription game again. This can further enhance the effects of the prescription game, such as improving illness.

In the above program, the control unit 56 (computer) further functions as display control means 566 that displays an input screen (FIGS. 9 and 10) on the display (display unit) for the user to input a play plan (second condition). When the play plan (second condition) has not been accepted, the input screen displays a first candidate time that is a candidate for the play plan (second condition) generated based on the time period (first time range) during which the user can play the prescription game, and when at least a portion of the play plan (second condition) has been accepted, the input screen displays a second candidate time that is a further candidate for the play plan (second condition) generated based on the time period (first time range), at least one of the total play time and time interval, and at least a portion of the play plan (second condition).

<First Modification>
Modifications of the above embodiment will now be described.

Figure 12 is a diagram showing the configuration of the management server device 3 included in the game system 1 of this modified example. As shown in Figure 12, the management server device 3 includes a control unit 36a instead of the control unit 36 of the management server device 3 of the embodiment. The control unit 36a executes various programs to function as a communication unit 361, a matching unit 362, a reception unit 363, a determination unit 364, and a processing unit 365. In this modified example, these units correspond to the communication unit, matching unit, reception unit, determination unit, and processing unit.

On the other hand, the game terminal 5 of this modified example may be configured without the determination means 564 and processing means 565. In the game system 1 of this modified example, instead of the game terminal 5, the management server device 3 has the functions of the determination means 564 and processing means 565 of the embodiment, and the prescription game execution determination process is performed by the management server device 3 rather than the game terminal 5.

In this modified example, the reception means 563 of the game terminal 5 transmits the received play plan information to the management server device 3. In the management server device 3, the reception means 363 receives the received play plan information, associates it with the user, and stores it in the memory unit 35. The game terminal 5 may not have the reception means 563, and the reception means 363 of the management server device 3 may have the same function as the reception means 563 of the game terminal 5.

The determination means 364 determines that the prescription game was played in accordance with the play plan on the game terminal 5 based on the play plan information stored in the memory unit 35 and the play log transmitted from the game terminal 5, which indicates the time the prescription game was played.

Based on the determination by the determination means 364, the processing means 365 performs processing to grant the user a game medium as a benefit that will enable them to play the prescription game with an advantage. The game medium granted to the user is temporarily stored in association with the user in the memory unit 35 of the management server device 3, but is transmitted to the game terminal 5 at any time.

With this type of game system 1, the prescription game execution determination process and the awarding of rewards can be performed by the management server device 3 rather than the game terminal 5, which is effective in preventing fraud, etc.

<Second Modification>
In the game system 1 of this modified example, the designation information designated by the diagnostician is information designating the number of times to play the prescription game, instead of the information designating the time period for playing the prescription game in the embodiment. In this case, the play plan determined by the user is not the planned time for playing the prescription game, but the planned number of times to play. In addition, the recommendation information determined by the assistant is also the number of times to recommend playing the prescription game to the user.

In this modified example, the determination means 564 determines that the prescribed game has been played in accordance with the play plan based on the play plan information and the number of times the prescribed game has been played. For example, the determination means 564 can make a determination that a high level of achievement will be achieved if the prescribed game has been played the same number of times as or close to the number of times specified in the play plan.

<Third Modification>
In the game system 1 of this modified example, the designation information designated by the diagnostician is information designating play progress, which is progress made by playing the prescription game, instead of information designating a time period for playing the prescription game in the embodiment. For example, if the prescription game is a type of game in which stages are cleared, the play progress is the number of stages cleared. In this case, the play plan determined by the user does not designate a planned time for playing the prescription game, but designates play progress of the prescription game. In addition, the recommendation information determined by the assistant also designates play progress made by the user playing the prescription game.

In this modified example, the determination means 564 determines whether the prescribed game has been played in accordance with the play plan based on the play plan information and the play progress of the prescribed game. For example, the determination means 564 can make a determination that a high level of achievement has been achieved when the user has achieved play progress that is the same as or close to the play progress specified by the play plan.

<Fourth Modification>
In the determination means 564 of the game system 1 of the embodiment, the degree of coincidence was determined by comparing the time periods of the play plan information and the prescription game based on the time when the prescription game was played, but in this modified example, the determination is made using a simpler process.

To determine the time period during which the prescription game was played, it is necessary to acquire game data continuously or intermittently while the prescription game is being played, but the determination means 564 may make a determination based on the start time when the user began playing the prescription game and the end time when the user finished playing the prescription game. In this case, the determination means 564 acquires the start time and end time when play of the prescription game was started and ended, and makes a determination.

The determination means 564 may also make a simple determination based on either the time the prescription game started or the time it ended.

<Fifth Modification>
The determination means 564 may determine that the prescription game is being played in various ways, regardless of the method of the embodiment.

For example, the determination means 564 may determine that the prescription game is being played while the prescription game is active on the game terminal 5. In other words, the determination means 564 determines that the prescription game is not being played when an app other than the prescription game is active on the game terminal 5.

The determination means 564 may also determine that the prescription game is being played while the game server device 4 is continuously accepting game sessions from the game terminal 5. In other words, the determination means 564 determines that the prescription game is not being played during a time when the game server device 4 is not continuously accepting game sessions from the game terminal 5.

The determination means 564 may also determine that the prescribed game is being played while a specified game session is continuously detected. In other words, the determination means 564 determines that the prescribed game is not being played while a game session other than the specified game session is detected.

More specifically, while the prescription game is being played on the game terminal 5, different game sessions (game data) are generated depending on the content being played. Specifically, different game sessions are generated when the in-game, which is the main game of the prescription game, is being played and when the out-game, in which gacha is drawn or game settings are changed, is progressing.

For example, if the determination means 564 detects a game session that occurs while an in-game is being played, it determines that the prescribed game is being played, and if it detects another game session, it determines that the prescribed game is not being played.

<Sixth Modification>
In addition to prescribed games managed by the launcher app and games other than prescribed games, unmanaged games not managed by the launcher app may be executed on game terminal 5. In this case, determination means 564 may exclude unmanaged games from the targets of determination and may only target games managed by the launcher app.

<Seventh Modification>
In the sixth modification, the determination means 564 may determine whether an unmanaged game has been played during a time when a prescribed game is not being played. If the determination means 564 determines that an unmanaged game has been played during a time when a prescribed game is not being played, the processing means 565 may perform processing that discourages progress in either the prescribed game managed by the launcher app or a game other than the prescribed game. Disadvantaging progress in a game refers to performing processing that is disadvantageous to the user, such as temporarily increasing the difficulty level or slowing down the recovery of stamina required to play the game.

<Eighth Modification>
In the embodiment, the diagnostician inputs diagnostic information including the designation information using the registration terminal 2, but the designation information may be determined not by the diagnostician but by a computer, AI, or the like. Specifically, the diagnostician may use the registration terminal 2 to input information about the user's disease, such as the name of the user's disease and the class of the user's disease, and transmit the input to the management server device 3, and the management server device 3 may determine the prescription game and the designation information based on this information. In this case, the management server device 3 may refer to a table of prescription games and designation information prepared in advance corresponding to the disease and its level, or may determine the prescription game and the designation information based on machine learning.

<Ninth Modification>
In the embodiment, the processing means 565 provides a reward in the form of a game medium that allows the user to advance advantageously in the prescription game. However, the provision of a reward in response to the determination of the determination means 564 is not limited to this. The processing means 565 may perform processing that provides an advantage in game progression for a certain period of time from the start of the prescription game. The processing means 565 may also perform processing that provides preferential treatment for the progress of a game other than the prescription game. The processing means 565 may also provide game medium such as virtual currency that can be used via a launcher app, allowing the user to obtain items that can be used in the game using the game medium.

<Other Modifications>
In the embodiment, the user can determine a play plan within a time range specified by the specific information, but the user may be required to determine a play plan that satisfies the time period, etc., specified by the recommended information in addition to the specific information. In this case, the accepting means 563 accepts a play plan that is input so as to satisfy the conditions specified by the recommended information, and restricts the acceptance of a play plan that does not satisfy the conditions.

The control unit 56 of the game terminal 5 may assist the user in inputting a play plan by taking into consideration the user's schedule, which may be managed by a schedule management app running on the game terminal 5, in addition to the diagnostic information and recommended information. In this case, the play plan input screen displayed on the display by the display control means 566 may prevent the user from entering a play plan during a time when the user has a schedule, or may allow the user to confirm that a schedule has been entered. Alternatively, if a time when a schedule already exists overlaps with the time of a play plan, a warning may be given on the screen or by voice.

Even when these modified examples are adopted, the effects obtained by the game system 1 of this embodiment can be achieved. It is also possible to combine the embodiment and each modified example as appropriate.
