Abstract
In a communication system including a server and a plurality of communication terminals capable of communication with the server, based on a variety of parameters indicating the status of a space formed within a game playable by the user of each communication terminal over the communication system, the server transmits advisory information, which suggests the next action for the space, to the communication terminal. The communication terminal displays a screen including the received advisory information.
Claims15
A server comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with a plurality of communication terminals for a plurality of users;
- a memory configured to store space information, related to a virtual space in a game, respectively for each user of the plurality of users;
- and
- a controller configured to
- generate scoring information based on the space information, wherein the scoring information includes a score of at least one indicator,
- determine an action, for a first user playing the game, that is necessary to raise the score of the at least one indicator for a first virtual space of the first user,
- generate advisory information including the action,
- transmit the generated scoring information and the generated advisory information to a first communication terminal of the first user for display, and
- cause the first communication terminal to display the generated scoring information and the generated advisory information, wherein
- the score of the at least one indicator includes a plurality of scores of a plurality of indicators, the controller is further configured to evaluate each of the plurality of indicators against a predetermined condition and determine an indicator satisfying the predetermined condition among the plurality of indicators, and the determined action is necessary to raise the score of the indicator satisfying the predetermined condition among the plurality of indicators.
