When the processor satisfies playback conditions, including conditions relating to the playback time or playback scene of content that corresponds to the game but is different from the game, it controls the game to progress from the first state to the second state. The processor updates the in-game parameters from the first state to the second state in stages, without accepting any input, in accordance with the progress of content playback. Information processing methods.
14. The processor is controlled to allow the game to progress from the first state to the second state based on the input received from the user. The processor is instructed to control the game so that it can progress from a first state to a second state if it satisfies playback conditions, including conditions related to the playback time or playback scene of content that corresponds to the game but is different from the game . The processor is instructed to update the in-game parameters from the first state to the second state in stages, without accepting any input, in accordance with the progress of content playback. program.

Description

This invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program. Services that deliver multiple different types of content, such as games, videos, or e-books, to terminal devices have been known for some time. Furthermore, some of these services have interrelated content. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that controls a second content, pre-associated with a first content, to become playable when pre-set conditions related to the first content are met. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-062217 This figure shows an information processing system including an information processing device and a user terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is an explanatory diagram illustrating the services available to the user in one embodiment of the present invention.This figure shows an example of a content selection screen.This figure shows an example of a content viewing screen.This figure shows an example of a game effect selection screen.This figure shows an example of a conditions display screen.This figure shows an example of a game effect selection screen.This is a diagram illustrating the functions of an information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention.This figure shows an example of user information.This figure shows an example of game information.This figure shows an example of content information.This figure shows an example of condition information.This figure shows an example of game effect information.This figure shows an information processing flow according to one embodiment of the present invention.This figure shows another information processing flow according to one embodiment of the present invention. The information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings, citing specific embodiments. For convenience of explanation, the following descriptions may sometimes be based on the perspective of a GUI (Graphical User Interface). However, since the fundamental data processing technologies required to realize these (communication/transmission technologies, data acquisition technologies, data recording technologies, data processing/analysis technologies, image processing technologies, and visualization technologies, etc.) are known technologies, their explanations will be omitted. Furthermore, in this specification, a user refers to a person who utilizes the services provided through the functions of the information processing device of the present invention. More specifically, a user can enjoy the benefits (services) provided by the functions of the information processing device of the present invention by operating a predetermined device. The predetermined device may be a device owned by the user (for example, the user terminal 12 described later), or it may be a device installed in a store or other establishment that the user does not own, but which can be used by entering a PIN or password, or making a deposit, when visiting the store or establishment. <Summary of the present invention> The present invention relates to an information processing technology that promotes the use of multiple different types of content, and more specifically, to a technology that promotes the use of both game content (hereinafter simply referred to as "games") and other content that corresponds to games but is different from games (hereinafter simply referred to as "content").
