A development system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure (hereinafter also referred to as the "present embodiment") will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Description of the development system>
The development system 1 is one aspect of a computer system and is a system for developing a game system. In this embodiment, the development target of the development system 1 is a game system, but the system to be developed according to the present disclosure is not limited to this. Furthermore, the development system 1 may be, for example, a system including a game engine and an integrated development environment (IDE). The development system 1 may also use an existing program including a game engine and an integrated development environment, such as Unity or Unreal Engine (registered trademark).

The development system 1 may, for example, provide functions such as programming support functions (e.g., editing functions using a text editor or GUI, provision of various libraries and material data, etc.), build functions (e.g., compilers and linkers), and debug/review support functions (e.g., program execution and error location identification) as a game engine and integrated development environment. In this embodiment, an example is described in which the game engine and integrated development environment are realized together as a single software package, but the method for realizing the game engine and integrated development environment is not limited to this.

For example, during development, development system 1 can warn users such as developers and reviewers if the content being developed contains inappropriate or other content requiring caution. This inappropriate content may be content that may violate compliance, such as content that may infringe on intellectual property rights such as copyrights, patents, or trademarks of others, content that may violate the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, content that violates laws related to the protection of personal information, or content that threatens information security.

As shown in FIG. 1, the development system 1 is composed of a server device 2 and multiple user devices 5. In the development system 1, the server device 2 and the multiple user devices 5 are connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other via a communication network 6.

The server device 2 is an information processing device used by the operator of the development system 1. By executing a specific program (hereinafter also referred to as the "server program"), the server device 2 realizes the function of managing deliverables such as developed content (specifically, program files, configuration files, and/or resource files, etc.).

The user device 5 is an information processing device used by a user. The user device 5 may be, for example, a general-purpose terminal device such as a laptop or desktop, or a device dedicated to the development system 1. The user device 5 provides the user with a UI for developing a game program by executing a predetermined program (hereinafter also referred to as the "user program"). The user program may be, for example, an application program dedicated to the development system 1, another third-party program for development, or a general-purpose web browser provided on the information processing device. The user device 5 may receive (specifically, download and install) the user program from the server device 2 or an application store via the communication network 6, for example. The server program and user program that realize the development system 1 are collectively referred to as the "development program."

In the development system 1, account information including user identification information and a password is assigned to each user for account authentication. This account information is sent from the user device 5 to the server device 2 when logging in from a user program, and the account authentication process is executed on the server device 2. After account authentication, mutual communication between the server device 2 and the user device 5 becomes possible.

The development system 1 may, for example, have a function (hereinafter also referred to as the "generation function") that automatically generates content to be used as material for a game. The generation function may, for example, use a constructed generation model. Specifically, the generation function may call up a stored generation model, input a prompt (in other words, a command statement) or other data to the generation model, and have the generation model generate content based on the input prompt (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "prompt"). The generation function outputs the content generated by the generation model.

Now, with reference to Figure 2, we will explain an example of the learning process and usage process for the development system 1 when using machine learning and deep learning techniques for generative models.

As shown in Figure 2, in the generative model training process, development system 1 first constructs a training dataset from a database (such as training data DB 222, described below) that collects and stores training data (including first existing content). Development system 1 inputs the training dataset into a training program and trains the generative model using the training program.

In the process of using a generative model, the development system 1 inputs prompts such as generation instructions and existing content for generation into the learned generative model, and outputs the generated content (hereinafter also referred to as "generated content").

In the learning process and utilization process of the generative model described above, for example, when warning of the possibility of infringement of the copyrighted work of others, the presence or absence of "reliance" or "similarity" of the copyrighted work of others in the generated content becomes an issue. In determining whether the generated content "relies" on the copyrighted work of others, for example, at least one of the following judgment items (a) and (b) may be used.
(a) In the learning process, whether the first existing content used as input data during learning is identical to or similar to another person's copyrighted work, and whether the first existing content is associated with information about the other person's copyrighted work and learned; (b) In the usage process, whether the second existing content used as input data during usage is identical to or similar to another person's copyrighted work, and whether the prompt includes wording specifying the other person's copyrighted work.

For example, in the process of using a generative model, if the prompt entered into the generative model contains a phrase such as "Generate an image of a character that appears in 'XX (phrase specifying the copyrighted work of another person)'," the development system 1 may determine that the image was generated based on the copyrighted work of another person and therefore may display information (hereinafter also referred to as "warning information") warning users to take measures to avoid infringing on the copyright of that person.

The generative model learning process may be performed by an external system such as a third-party system, or by the development system 1 itself.

<Configuration of Server Device>
Continuing the explanation, returning to Fig. 1, the hardware configuration and functional configuration of the server device 2 will be described below.

The server device 2 has a network interface 21, a memory unit 22, and a control unit 23. The network interface 21 and the memory unit 22 are electrically connected to the control unit 23 via a bus 29.

The network interface 21 is communicatively connected to each user device 5 via a communication network 6 such as the Internet or a LAN.

The memory unit 22 is a device that stores programs and data, such as a main memory, auxiliary memory, or external memory. The memory unit 22 is composed of, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), and solid state drive (SSD). The memory unit 22 stores various programs, including part of the program according to this embodiment (e.g., the server program), as well as various data such as a user DB 221, a learning data DB 222, and a development DB 223.

User DB221 stores attribute information and account information indicating the user's attributes, etc., in association with each user identification information of a user involved in system development. Hereinafter, this information will be collectively referred to as "user information."

The training data DB222 stores training data for training the generative model. The training data may include, for example, existing content.

The development DB 223 stores, for each version, material data (including content such as images, audio, and text used in the game) and library data for system development using the development system 1, as well as data indicating the results developed by the developer on the user device 5 (hereinafter also referred to as "result data"). The development DB 223 may also be used to share the result data among multiple users, such as developers and reviewers.

The control unit 23 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU and semiconductor memory, and is a processing device (e.g., a processor) that controls the operation of the device 2 itself, i.e., performs data calculations, processing, and transfer, executes programs, and controls other devices. The control unit 23 can realize various functions of the server device 2 by executing programs (e.g., server programs) stored in the memory unit 22.

The control unit 23 executes various programs to function as an information processing means 231, a matching means 232, a learning means 233, and a generation means 234.

-Information processing means-
The information processing means 231 transmits and receives various data to and from each user device 5. Main data received by the information processing means 231 includes product data, various requests in response to user operations (e.g., requests to acquire material data), user information, etc. Main data transmitted by the information processing means 231 includes game data such as material data and library data, and generation models. The information processing means 231 may, for example, receive information indicating a prompt input by the user from the user device 5.

-Means of verification-
The verification means 232 uses the user identification information received from the user device 5 to authenticate the user account.

-Learning methods-
The learning means 233 uses machine learning or deep learning techniques to input a learning data set stored in the learning data DB 222 of the storage unit 22 and train a generative model such as a generative AI. The learning means 233 may use, for example, as machine learning or deep learning techniques, generative adversarial networks called GANs (when the content is an image), a Transformer (when the content is text), an RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), or the like.

-Generation means-
The generating means 234 generates various data to be processed by the development system 1. For example, the generating means 234 may input a prompt input by a user into a generating model and cause the generating model to generate generated content such as second content. The generating means 234 may transmit this generated generated content to the user device 5 of the user who input the prompt via the network interface 21, or may store it in the development DB of the storage unit 22.

The generating means 234 may embed and store all or part of the prompt entered for generation in the file of the generated content as additional information for the generated content (e.g., content metadata such as Exif information) or tag information. As another example, the prompt may be saved in a file separate from the generated content (e.g., a text file), and the generated content file and the file saving the prompt (hereinafter also referred to as the "prompt file") may be stored in association with each other. The generating means 234 may save information indicating this association in a file separate from the two files, or in at least one of the two files. For example, the generating means 234 may embed and store information indicating the save destination of the prompt file (e.g., path information such as a URL) in the file of the generated content as information indicating the association. This configuration makes it possible to easily obtain the prompt from the file of the generated content.

<Configuration of user device 5>
The user device 5 has a display 61, a speaker 62, and a touchpad 63 either externally connected or built-in. The user device 5 also has a network interface 51, a graphics processing unit 52, an audio processing unit 53, an operation processing unit 54, a storage unit 55, and a control unit 56. The network interface 51, the graphics processing unit 52, the audio processing unit 53, the operation processing unit 54, and the storage unit 55 are electrically connected to the control unit 56 via a bus 59.

The network interface 51 is communicatively connected to the communication network 6 to transmit and receive various data between the user device 5 and the server device 2.

The graphics processing unit 52 renders game images (one aspect of content) including characters and various objects related to the virtual game space in a moving image format in accordance with image data output from the control unit 56. The graphics processing unit 52 is connected to a display 61, which may be, for example, an LCD, and the game images rendered in a moving image format are displayed on the display 61 as a game screen.

The audio processing unit 53 is connected to the speaker 62, and plays and synthesizes game audio in accordance with instructions from the control unit 56, and outputs it from the speaker 62.

The operation processing unit 54 is connected to the touchpad 63 and transmits and receives data related to operation inputs to and from the touchpad 63. The user inputs operation signals to the user device 5 by touching the touchpad 63.

The storage unit 55 is composed of a HDD, SSD, RAM, ROM, etc. The storage unit 55 stores game data downloaded from the server device 2 (including new material data and library data), generation models, various programs including parts of game programs under development, user information for the user device 5, etc.

The control unit 56 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU and semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of the device 5 itself.

By executing various programs, the control unit 56 functions as a communication means 561, an audio control means 562, a display control means 563, a reception means 564, and a development means 565.

-Communication means 561-
The communication unit 561 is a function for communicating with the server device 2 via the network interface 51 .

The communication means 561 generates and transmits information that can be understood by the server device 2 in response to various operation signals received by the operation processing unit 54 from the touchpad 63. For example, the communication means 561 transmits user information such as account information, deliverable data, and download requests for material data and library data to the server device 2. The communication means 561 also receives new material data, library data, generative models, etc. sent from the server device 2 in response to download requests.

-Voice control means-
The audio control means 562 controls the audio output of the speaker 62 in response to operations by the user of the device 5 when the game is being played.

-Display control means-
When a game is executed, the display control means 563 controls the display output of the display 61 in response to operations by the user of the device 5. Specifically, the display control means 563 first generates two-dimensional or three-dimensional image data. Next, the display control means 563 causes the generated image data to be processed by the graphics processing unit 52. Then, the display control means 563 sequentially displays the processed images on the display 61.

The display control means 563 displays the first content on the display 61 (one aspect of the display unit). The first content includes the second content as material. The second content is generated by inputting a prompt into a generative model. The first content may be, for example, the game being developed (specifically, a group of files such as executable files, configuration files, and resource files that realize the game), and the second content may be material content that may be included in the game, such as image material, audio material generated by the generative model, or text material indicating the story or character dialogue.

When the prompt satisfies the warning conditions, the display control means 563 causes the display 61 to display warning information indicating that the second content is a warning target, in association with the first content. The warning conditions are conditions for determining whether the second content is a warning target. The warning conditions may include, for example, the prompt containing information about a specific copyrighted work (e.g., the title of a book, song, anime, or game) and/or information about reliance.

With the above configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not a content is subject to a warning based on the instructions given to the generative model. Therefore, for example, it is possible to easily determine whether or not a content is subject to a warning without analyzing the second content to determine whether it is identical to or similar to a specific copyrighted work. This improves the efficiency of displaying warnings for content generated by a generative model. Therefore, it is possible to improve the usability of content generated by a generative model in situations where that content is used, such as in the development of content such as games.

The prompt to be input to the generative model may include, for example, wording specifying a specific work, such as the work of another person. This configuration makes it possible to determine whether the user developer generated the generated content with a generation instruction that specifies a specific work. This makes it easier to detect the possibility of "reliance," a copyright requirement, and efficiently identifies the second content that is the target of a warning.

The display control means 563 may, for example, display on the display 61 information for identifying the text included in the prompt (hereinafter also referred to as "identifying information") based on a user specification received by the receiving means 564. The identifying information may, for example, be text such as a message, an image, or audio. The identifying information may, for example, be wording (text) extracted from the prompt that identifies another person's copyrighted work.

With the above configuration, the user can check which specific part of the prompt is causing the problem. This allows the user to efficiently check the warning content.

The display control means 563 may, for example, extract wording that matches the warning conditions from the text included in the prompt and display the extracted wording as specific information on the display 61. This configuration allows the user to particularly check the wording that matches the warning conditions. For example, if the prompt is long or complex, or if the user has a low awareness of compliance, it may be difficult to distinguish which parts of the prompt are causing a warning even when the entire prompt is displayed. By displaying the wording extracted as specific information, the user can easily check the parts that require attention even in such cases.

The display control means 563 may, for example, display warning information before the second content is played in conjunction with the display of the first content. For example, in the case of animations such as games, even if a scene containing the second content that is the subject of a warning is played, it may quickly switch to another scene, making it difficult to confirm. With this configuration, by warning the user in advance before it is displayed, the user can prepare to confirm (be prepared to confirm), making it easier to confirm.

The display control means 563 may, for example, display warning information based on the fact that the second content is being played in conjunction with the display of the first content. With this configuration, the warning information can be checked against the second content. This makes it possible to present the warning information to the user in an easy-to-understand format.

-Method of reception-
The accepting unit 564 accepts operation inputs such as instructions and requests from the user via the touchpad 63 and the operation processing unit 54. The accepting unit 564 may, for example, accept an instruction from the user to display the screens shown in Figures 3 to 5, which will be described later.

The reception means 564 receives a user's specification regarding the second content or warning information displayed on the display 61 (one aspect of the display unit).

-Development methods-
The development means 565 provides functions related to an integrated development environment. The development means 565 may include, for example, at least some of the above-mentioned programming support function, build function, and debug/review support function.

The development means 565 may, for example, input prompts into the generative model as a programming assistance function to generate content. The development means 565 may provide this generated content to the user, for example, as material for a game being developed.

<Examples of Screens Related to the Reception Unit and the Display Control Unit>
3 to 7, examples of screens that the display control unit 563 causes to be displayed on the display 61 of the user device 5 will be described.

<Instruction screen>
3 is a diagram showing an example of an instruction screen for inputting a prompt (generation instruction) to a generation model. As shown in Fig. 3, the display control means 563 may cause the display 61 to display an instruction screen 610 based on, for example, a user's instruction to display the instruction screen received by the receiving means 564. The instruction screen 610 includes a prompt input area 611 and a generation content display area 612.

The prompt input area 611 is an area where the user can input a prompt (text in this example). As shown in FIG. 3(a), the user can input a prompt for image generation instructions, such as "Draw an illustration of a crab and a turtle having fun in the ocean," into the prompt input form 611a. The input prompt is received by the reception means 564, and the development means 565 preprocesses the received prompt as appropriate before inputting it into the generative model, generating second content C0 as an image in accordance with the prompt. The display control means 563 displays the second content C0 generated by the generative model in the generated content display area 612.

As shown in FIG. 3(b), the prompt input area 611 allows prompts to be input in multiple stages. For example, after a prompt is input in the prompt input form 611a, the prompt input area 611 may display a prompt input form 611b for inputting an additional prompt.

In addition to the generation instruction entered in prompt input form 611a, the user can also enter an image generation instruction prompt, such as "Make the turtle look a little more like the character "XX" from the movie "XX."'" in prompt input form 611b. The input prompt is accepted by reception means 564, and development means 565 preprocesses the accepted prompt as appropriate and inputs it into the generative model along with the previously generated image, processing the previously generated second content C0 in accordance with the prompt to generate a new image, secondA content C1. Display control means 563 displays secondA content C1 generated by the generative model in generated content display area 612. Compared to second content C0 shown in FIG. 3(a), secondA content C1 in generated content display area 612 shown in FIG. 3(b) has been processed so that the turtle in the image resembles the character "XX" from the movie "XX" in accordance with the prompt entered in prompt input form 611a.

With the above configuration, for example, by first inputting abstract generation instructions and then inputting more detailed instructions, content can be generated with step-by-step tuning to achieve the image the user desires. This allows developers and other users to obtain the desired image more efficiently and with higher quality than if they had to manually adjust the image to achieve the desired result.

<Development screen>
4 is a diagram showing an example of a development screen for developing a game. As shown in Fig. 4, the display control means 563 may display a development screen 620 on the display 61 based on, for example, a user's instruction to display the development screen. The development screen 620 includes a content display area 621 and a virtual space display area 622.

The content display area 621 is a so-called content browser, and is an area that displays a list of one or more pieces of content (including generated content) for developing a game. The content display area 621 displays, for example, second-A content C1, second-B content C2, and second-C content C3 as content that can be placed in the virtual space display area 622. Second-A content C1, second-B content C2, and second-C content C3 are all forms of second content and are materials for the game, which is first content.

The content display area 621 may, for example, display second content that is a warning target in association with warning information indicating that the second content is warning information. Specifically, the display control unit 563 determines whether the information on the associated prompt for each second content satisfies the warning condition, i.e., determines whether the second content is a warning target. For example, the second-A content C1 is associated with prompt information containing the text "Make the turtle look a little more like the character "XX" from the movie "XX."" as shown in the example of Figure 3 above. If the words "Movie "XX"" and "Character "XX"" included in the text satisfy the warning condition, the display control unit 563 may determine that the second-A content C1 is a warning target and display the warning information in association with the second-A content C1. The display control unit 563 may, for example, display a warning icon W1 (one form of warning information) with the character string "Warning" displayed next to the second-A content C1 in the content display area 621 as a prior warning before placing the second content in the first content. When the user selects the warning icon W1, the display control means 563 causes the display 61 to display the second content warning screen 630 shown in Figure 5, which will be described later.

The virtual space display area 622 is a so-called viewport, and is an area for editing the game's virtual space (two-dimensional or three-dimensional space). In the virtual space display area 622, for example, second content selected by the user from the content display area 621 is placed as a virtual space element (in other words, a component). Specifically, the user selects second-A content C1 from the content display area 621, moves it while still selected to any position in the virtual space displayed in the virtual space display area 622 (in this example, a frame object other than the second-A content C1 placed in the virtual space), and then cancels the selection (e.g., by dragging and dropping). This allows the second-A content C1 to be a painting C1' displayed in a frame object, i.e., part of the appearance of the frame object can be composed of the second-A content C1. The painting C1' is placed in the virtual space in combination with the frame object. The display control means 563 can display the second-A content C1 as a framed painting C1' as a game scene.

As an alternative editing method to the above, before placing the frame object in the virtual space, the display control means 563 may, in response to a user's designation, combine the second A content C1 with the frame object displayed in the content display area 621 or the like to form a painting object. The display control means 563 may then place this constructed painting object at any position in the virtual space in response to a user's designation and movement (drag and drop).

<Warning screen>
5 is a diagram showing an example of a second content warning screen that displays a warning about the second content as a prior warning before the second content is placed in the first content. As shown in FIG. 5, the display control unit 563 may display a second content warning screen 630 on the display 61, for example, based on the user's designation of the warning icon W1. The second content warning screen 630 includes a warning message display area 631 and a warning target content display area 632.

The warning message display area 631 is an area that displays a warning message to the user to warn them about the second content. This warning message may, for example, indicate that the second content, which is the material, was generated by a generative model and that it was generated based on a prompt that includes wording that specifies a specific copyrighted work (e.g., a proper noun such as the title of a movie or the name of a character appearing in the movie). Note that examples of wording that does not specify a specific copyrighted work (proper nouns) include nouns that represent specific place names (e.g., "Tokyo") and nouns that represent specific living creatures (e.g., "Iriomote wildcat"). Specifically, the warning message display area 631 may display text such as "The following image was created by the generation AI based on a prompt that includes the following proper noun" (one aspect of specific information) and "Please have your work reviewed in advance by a legal officer to avoid infringing on the copyrights of others."

The warning target content display area 632 is an area that displays content that is the target of a warning. For example, if the content that is the target of a warning is second-A content C1, the warning target content display area 632 may display (A) user identification information (or the user's name) of the user who created (instructed generation of) second-A content C1, (B) information for identifying the generation model (indicated as "generation AI" in FIG. 5) that generated second-A content C1 (for example, the type of model (specifically, Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT, etc.), the provider (operator) of the model, and/or the version), and (C) part of the prompt (one aspect of the specific information) that was input to the generation model when second-A content C1 was generated.

With the above configuration, the creator of the 2A content C1 and the type of generative model can be displayed to the user, making it easier to, for example, interview the creator or inquire with the provider of the generative model about the learning process. Furthermore, by displaying part of the prompt displayed when the 2A content C1 is generated, such as a proper noun representing the work, the user can be encouraged to investigate whether there are any similar works based on this display.

The warning target content display area 632 may include, for example, a full prompt display button 632a for displaying the entire prompt entered when the second A content C1 was generated. When the user selects the full prompt display button 632a, the display control means 563 may display a screen (not shown) that displays the entire prompt entered when the second A content C1 was generated.

In the examples of Figures 4 and 5, an example is described in which only the warning information for the selected content is displayed, but the manner in which the warning information is displayed is not limited to this. For example, the display control means 563 may display a list of one or more pieces of content that are subject to a warning, such as the second A content C1 and the second B content C2, and may also display the above-mentioned details (A) to (C) for each of the one or more pieces of content displayed in the list. With this configuration, it is possible to check all at once the one or more pieces of content that are subject to a warning and information about each of these one or more pieces of content.

<Warning display>
6 shows an example of a first content warning display that displays a warning about the first content as a warning after the second content is placed in the first content. The development means 565 may have, for example, a playback function that plays a developed game scene as an animation in the virtual space display area 622, etc., as part of a debug/review support function. When the reception means 564 receives an instruction from a reviewer user to play a specific game scene (including the second A content C1), the development means 565 plays the animation of this specific game scene (rendering it in moving image format) using the audio control means 562 and the display control means 563. Playing the animation of the specific game scene in this way allows users, such as legal personnel or quality assurance personnel of the company developing the game, to check whether the played game scene contains any inappropriate content.

The display control means 563 may, for example, superimpose the first content warning display area 640 on the virtual space display area 622 before the second A content C1 that is the target of a warning is displayed during playback of an animation of a specific game scene. As another example, the display control means 563 may display the first content warning display area 640 as a dialog box before the second A content C1 that is the target of a warning is displayed.

The first content warning display area 640 displays, for example, a warning message and/or information related to the content that is the subject of the warning. In this example, an example of displaying a warning message in the first content warning display area 640 will be described. The first content warning display area 640 may, for example, display "This scene contains cautionary material created by the generation AI!" to indicate that the second content C1 that is the subject of the warning and was generated by the generative model is included in the first content. In this way, the display control means 563 can display a warning display in association with the first content, which is a game.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of a first content warning display that displays a warning for the first content as a warning after the second content is placed in the first content, as an example different from the example of Figure 6. As shown in Figure 7, when the second A content C1 that is the target of the warning is displayed in the animation played by the playback function described above, the display control means 563 may display a warning icon W1' indicating the presence of the second A content C1' that is the target of the warning that is placed in the first content. When the user designates the warning icon W1', the display control means 563 may display the second content warning screen 630 of Figure 5. In this way, the display control means 563 can display the second content warning screen 630 in association with the first content, which is a game.

<Example of operation>
An example of the operation of the development system 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8(a) is a flow diagram showing the process flow when generating the second content. Fig. 8(b) is a flow diagram showing the process flow when displaying the first content after the second content has been included in the first content.

As shown in FIG. 8(a), first, the reception means 564 of the user device 5 receives from the user a prompt instruction to be input into the generative model (step st1).

Next, the generation means 234 of the user device 5 inputs the prompt received by the reception means 564 into the generation model to generate the second content (step ST2).

Next, the generation means 234 of the user device 5 associates the prompt input into the generation model with the second content and stores them in the storage unit 22 (step ST3).

As shown in FIG. 8(b), first, the reception means 564 of the user device 5 receives from the user an instruction to display the first content that includes the second content as a material (step ST11).

Next, the display control means 563 of the user device 5 acquires the first content to be displayed, including the second content, and a prompt associated with this second content, based on the display instruction received by the receiving means 564 (step ST12).

Next, if the acquired prompt satisfies the warning condition (Yes in step ST13), the display control means 563 of the user device 5 associates the first content with warning information indicating that the second content included in the first content is subject to a warning and displays the first content on the display 61 (step ST14).

Next, if the acquired prompt satisfies the warning condition (No in step ST13), the display control means 563 of the user device 5 displays the first content on the display 61 (step ST15).

To summarize the above, the control unit 56 (computer) of the user device 5 functions as a display control means 563 that causes the display unit to display the first content that includes the second content as a material, the second content being content generated by inputting a prompt into a generative model, and when the prompt satisfies the warning condition for determining whether the second content is subject to a warning, the display control means 563 causes the display 61 (display unit) to display warning information indicating that the second content is subject to a warning, in association with the first content.

<Effects>
According to this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether generated content is subject to a warning based on the type of prompt (generation instruction) given to the generative model. Therefore, for example, it is possible to easily determine whether the content is subject to a warning without analyzing the second content to determine whether it is identical to or similar to a specific copyrighted work. This improves the efficiency of displaying a warning for content generated by a generative model. As a result, it is possible to improve the usability of content generated by a generative model.

[Variations]
Although the present invention has been described based on the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The following cases are also included in the present invention.

[First Modification]
In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which a game engine and an integrated development environment, including a review assistance function for checking developed content (first content and second content), are implemented in a single software package. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, a check function for checking developed content may be implemented separately in different software. For example, software with this check function may not have a function for developing a game program, but may have a playback function for loading a developed game program and playing game scenes, and a function for displaying warning information related to the played game scenes.

[Second Modification]
In the above embodiment, an example in which a user inputs a prompt using text has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, a user may input data in a format other than text, such as voice and/or an image, as a prompt. If the input prompt is the user's voice, the generation unit 234 or the development unit 565 may convert the input voice into text using voice analysis technology and input the converted text into the generative model.

Other Embodiments
The various control means and processing procedures described in the above embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, its applications, or its uses. The various control means and processing procedures can be appropriately modified in design within the scope that does not change the gist of the present invention.

Games may be action games, shooting games, role-playing games, simulation games, board games, puzzle games, etc., and can be applied to various types of games.

In the above embodiment, an example was given of a case in which the server device 2 and multiple user devices 5 function as a single unit to make the program work, but this is not limited to this. All of the means of the program, i.e., the learning means, generation means, display control means, reception means, development means, etc., may be provided in the server device 2 alone, in a communication terminal separate from the server device and user devices 5, or in two of these devices combined (e.g., distributed processing between the server device 2 and the user devices 5). Furthermore, when the server device, user devices, and communication terminals function as a single unit, it is also possible to change which means function on which device as appropriate.

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.
