Abstract

A system that stores information related to a first plurality of game contents; receives a first user operation to select a second plurality of game contents from among the first plurality of game contents; controls a display to display a plurality of identification images based on information corresponding to the second plurality of game contents; receives a second user operation to change a first parameter corresponding to the second plurality of game contents; and modifies each of the plurality of identification images in accordance with the change to the first parameter.

Claims (51)

1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media including computer program instructions, which when executed by an information processing system, cause the information processing system to:

store, in memory, information related to a first plurality of game contents;

receive, via a user interface, a first user operation to select a second plurality of game contents from among the first plurality of game contents;

control a display to display a plurality of identification images based on information corresponding to the second plurality of game contents;

receive, via the user interface, a second user operation to change a first parameter corresponding to the second plurality of game contents; and

modify each of the plurality of identification images in accordance with the change to the first parameter,

wherein each of the plurality of identification images includes a graphical indicator and/or a pie chart.

2. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of identification images is an image corresponding to a second parameter based on information related to the second plurality of game contents.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 2 , wherein

each of the plurality of identification images is modified by changing each of a plurality of the second parameters corresponding to the plurality of identification images in accordance with a change to the first parameter.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 3 , wherein

each of the plurality of identification images is modified so that the rate of change of each of the plurality of second parameters with respect to the first parameter is determined in accordance with information related to the corresponding second plurality of game contents.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 3 , wherein

modifying each of the plurality of identification images includes determining, in accordance with a third user operation, a rate of change of each of the plurality of second parameters with respect to the first parameter.

6. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 3 , wherein

modifying each of the plurality of identification images includes changing at least one of the plurality of second parameters in a predetermined order each time the first parameter changes.

7. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 3 , wherein

modifying each of the plurality of identification images includes changing at least one of the plurality of second parameters with a predetermined frequency each time the first parameter changes.

8. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 3 , wherein

modifying each of the plurality of identification images includes changing all of the plurality of second parameters each time the first parameter changes.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 3 , wherein the computer program instructions further cause the information processing system to:

finalize values of the plurality of second parameters upon detecting a third user operation.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 3 , wherein

two or more possible reference values are set for each of the plurality of second parameters, and

each of the identification images is an indicator having, among the two or more reference values, a first reference value as a minimum value and a second reference value as a maximum value.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 10 , wherein

the first reference value is equal to or smaller than a current value of the corresponding second parameter and the second reference value is greater than the current value of the corresponding second parameter.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 11 , wherein

three or more possible reference values are set for each of the plurality of second parameters; and

modifying each of the plurality of identification images includes, when the changed value of each of the plurality of second parameters is smaller than the first reference value, setting one of the three or more reference values that is other than the first reference value and that is equal to or smaller than the changed value of each of the plurality of second parameters as a new first reference value.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein

positioning information indicating a position in a virtual space is associated with each of the first plurality of game contents.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1 , wherein the computer program instructions further cause the information processing system to:

classify each of the first plurality of game contents into at least one content group among a plurality of content groups; and

identify, based on a third user operation received via the user interface, a predetermined number of content groups from among the plurality of content groups, wherein

the first user operation corresponds to a selection of a plurality of game contents included in the predetermined number of content groups.

15. A method executed by an information processing system, the method comprising:

receiving a first user operation corresponding to a selection of a first plurality of game contents from among a plurality of game contents stored in memory;

controlling a display to display a plurality of identification images based on information corresponding to the selected first plurality of game contents;

receiving a second user operation corresponding to a change of a first parameter corresponding to the first plurality of game contents; and

modifying each of the plurality of identification images in accordance with the change to the first parameter,

wherein each of the plurality of identification images includes a graphical indicator and/or a pie chart.

16. An information processing system comprising:

memory configured to store information related to a first plurality of game contents; and

circuitry configured to

receive a first user operation selecting a second plurality of game contents from among the first plurality of game contents stored in the memory;

control a display to display a plurality of identification images based on information corresponding to the second plurality of game contents;

receive a second user operation to change a first parameter corresponding to the second plurality of game contents; and

modify each of the plurality of identification images in accordance with the change to the first parameter,

wherein each of the plurality of identification images includes a graphical indicator and/or a pie chart.
