Abstract

There is provided a game system capable of appropriately evaluating whether or not a game advertisement has been recognized by a player. An advertisement evaluation information storage unit ( 80 ) stores advertisement evaluation information representing an evaluation about outputting an advertisement. An advertisement output unit ( 72 ) outputs the advertisement. An output status determining unit ( 74 ) determines whether or not an output status of the advertisement satisfies a predetermined output status criterion. A game item selection accepting unit ( 68 ) accepts selection of a game item. A selection content determining unit ( 76 ) determines whether or not the selection of the game item corresponding to the advertisement has been accepted. An advertisement evaluation information updating unit ( 78 ) updates, based on a result of the determination by the output status determining unit ( 74 ) and a result of the determination by the selection content determining unit ( 76 ), the advertisement evaluation information stored in the advertisement evaluation information storage unit ( 80 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A game system comprising:
 advertisement evaluation information storage means for storing advertisement evaluation information representing an evaluation about outputting an advertisement;   advertisement output means for outputting the advertisement;   output status determining means for determining whether or not an output status of the advertisement satisfies a predetermined output status criterion;   game item selection accepting means for accepting selection of a game item;   selection content determining means for determining whether or not the game item selection accepting means has accepted the selection of the game item corresponding to the advertisement; and   advertisement evaluation information updating means for updating, based on a result of the determination by the output status determining means and a result of the determination by the selection content determining means, the advertisement evaluation information stored in the advertisement evaluation information storage means.   
   
   
       2 . A game system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the game item selection accepting means comprises: restricting means for restricting the selection of the game item corresponding to the advertisement; and restriction canceling means for canceling the restriction by the restricting means, depending on the result of the determination by the output status determining means,   the advertisement evaluation information updating means updates, when the selection content determining means determines that the game item selection accepting means has accepted the selection of the game item corresponding to the advertisement, the advertisement evaluation information stored in the advertisement evaluation information storage means.   
   
   
       3 . A game system control method comprising:
 an advertisement output step of causing output means to output an advertisement;   an output status determining step of determining whether or not an output status of the advertisement satisfies a predetermined output status criterion;   a game item selection accepting step of accepting selection of a game item;   a selection content determining step of determining whether or not the selection of the game item corresponding to the advertisement has been accepted in the game item selection accepting step; and   an advertisement evaluation information updating step of updating, based on a result of the determination in the output status determining step and a result of the determination in the selection content determining step, advertisement evaluation information stored in advertisement evaluation information storage means which stores the advertisement evaluation information representing an evaluation about outputting of the advertisement.   
   
   
       4 . A computer-readable information storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as:
 advertisement evaluation information storage means for storing advertisement evaluation information representing an evaluation about outputting an advertisement;   advertisement output means for outputting the advertisement;   output status determining means for determining whether or not an output status of the advertisement satisfies a predetermined output status criterion;   game item selection accepting means for accepting selection of a game item;   selection content determining means for determining whether or not the game item selection accepting means has accepted the selection of the game item corresponding to the advertisement; and   advertisement evaluation information updating means for updating, based on a result of the determination by the output status determining means and a result of the determination by the selection content determining means, the advertisement evaluation information stored in the advertisement evaluation information storage means.
