Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a storage device that stores state information of game contents changing according to progress of a game; a screen information generator that generates first information relating to a display of the game contents on a display screen and second information relating to a display of the state information on the display screen; an output device that outputs the first information and the second information to the display screen at a predetermined timing, respectively; and an instruction receiving device that receives a switching instruction to switch between display of the game contents and display of the state information on the display screen, wherein the screen information generator generates the second information based on latest state information stored on the storage device at a time when receiving the switching instruction.

Claims (57)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a storage device that stores state information of game contents changing according to progress of a game;

a screen information generator that generates first information relating to a display of the game contents on a display screen and second information relating to a display of the state information on the display screen;

an output device that outputs the first information and the second information to the display screen at a predetermined timing, respectively; and

an instruction receiving device that receives a switching instruction to switch between display of the game contents and display of the state information on the display screen,

wherein the screen information generator generates the second information based on latest state information stored on the storage device at a time when receiving the switching instruction.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the screen information generator generates the second information including transparency information of the display screen of the state information, and

the output device outputs the first information and the second information such that switching the display of the game contents and a superimposed display of the game contents and the state information is possible.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the output device outputs the first information and the second information such that switching the display of the game contents and of the state information is possible.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the instruction receiving device receives a selection of the state information to be included in the second information in the state information, and

the screen information generator generates the second information based on the latest state information of the selected state information stored in the storage device.

5. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the instruction receiving device receives a selection of an action in the game, and

the screen information generator generates the second information based on the latest state information corresponding to the state information of the selected action stored in the storage device.

6. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the switching display is performed in a non-communication state.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the storage device stores the state information of the game contents that changes in accordance with progress of the game in which a plurality of game contents including a game content corresponding to the terminal apparatus battle each other.

8. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the terminal apparatus is a smart device including a touch panel as the instruction receiving device.

9. A method of controlling a computer that processes progress of a game using game contents, the method comprising:

storing state information of game contents changing according to progress of the game;

generating first information relating to a display of the game contents on a display screen and second information relating to a display of the state information on the display screen;

outputting the first information and the second information to the display screen at a predetermined timing, respectively; and

receiving a switching instruction to switch between display of the game contents and display of the state information on the display screen,

wherein the second information is generated based on latest state information stored at a time when receiving the switching instruction.

10. The method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the second information including transparency information of the display screen of the state information is generated, and

the first information and the second information are output such that switching the display of the game contents and a superimposed display of the game contents and the state information is possible.

11. The method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first information and the second information are output such that switching display of the game contents and of the state information is possible.

12. The method according to claim 9 ,

wherein a selection of the state information to be included in the second information in the state information is received, and

the second information based on the latest state information of the selected state information stored is generated.

13. The method according to claim 9 ,

wherein a selection of an action in the game is received, and

the second information is generated based on the latest state information corresponding to the state information of the selected action stored in the storage device.

14. A non-transitory recording medium recording a program for causing a computer to execute steps of:

storing state information of game contents changing according to progress of a game;

generating first information relating to a display of the game contents on a display screen and second information relating to a display of the state information on the display screen;

outputting the first information and the second information to the display screen at a predetermined timing, respectively; and

receiving a switching instruction to switch between display of the game contents and display of the state information on the display screen,

wherein the second information is generated based on latest state information stored at a time when receiving the switching instruction.

15. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 14 , the program for causing the computer to further execute steps of:

generating the second information including transparency information on the display screen of the state information, and

outputting the first information and the second information such that switching the display of the game contents and a superimposed display of the game contents and the state information is possible.

16. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 14 , the program for causing the computer to further execute step of:

outputting the first information and the second information such that switching display of the game contents and the state information is possible.

17. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 14 , the program for causing the computer to further execute step of:

receiving a selection of the state information to be included in the second information in the state information, and

generating the second information based on the latest state information of the selected state information.

18. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 14 , the program for causing the computer to further execute step of:

receiving a selection of an action in the game, and

generating the second information based on the latest state information corresponding to state information of the selected action.
