A computer system displays a game image (IM1) during replacement play by a second user and a notification of operation details based on an operation input by the second user on a game screen (W1) displayed on a first terminal of a first user. The notification is, for example, a command input by the second user.
Claims16
A computer system comprising at least one processor or circuit programmed to execute:
- a game management of managing execution of an electronic video game in which a second user can perform replacement play in the electronic video game using a controller of a second electronic device in place of gameplay performed by a first user using a controller of first electronic device;
- a game image display control of displaying a game image of the electronic video game during the replacement play on display screens of the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
- and
- a notification control of automatically causing the first electronic device to provide a computer-generated notification of operation details executed in the electronic video game in real-time, based on the operation input via the controller of the second electronic device by the second user during the replacement play,
- wherein the notification control includes displaying the notification of the operation details on the display screen of the first electronic device on which the game image is displayed during the replacement play, the notification of the operational details being a series of icons corresponding to a sequence of commands input on the controller of the second electronic device of the second user or a name of an action performed in the electronic video game by the second user, and
- wherein the notification control includes automatically providing the series of icons or the name of the action at a timing when the second user input the operation in real time.
A replacement play execution control method executed by a computer system connected to communicate with a first-user interface and a second-user interface, the method comprising:
- managing execution of electronic video game in which a second user can perform replacement play in the electronic video game using the a controller of a second electronic device in place of gameplay performed by a first user using a controller of first electronic device;
- performing a control to display a game image of the electronic video game during the replacement play on display screens of the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
- causing the first electronic device to automatically provide a computer-generated notification of operation details executed in the electronic video game in real-time, based on the operation input via the controller of the second electronic device by the second user during the replacement play;
- and
- displaying the notification of the operation details on the display screen of the first electronic device on which the game image is displayed during the replacement play, the notification of the operational details being a series of icons corresponding to a sequence of commands input on the controller of the second electronic device of the second user or a name of an action performed in the electronic video game by the second user,
- wherein the notification control includes automatically providing the series of icons or the name of the action at a timing when the second user input the operation in real time.
