发明名称 Display control device and display control program for grouping related items based upon location
摘要 A game device stores data of news information related to a plurality of news locations on a map. The game device divides the news locations into groups, and sets a determination region for each group. Further, the game device receives an input of designating a position in a display region from the user. When the designated position is within a determination region, news information related to one or more news locations included in a group corresponding to the determination region is displayed on a display device.

主权项 1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a display control program which is executable by a computer of a display control device for providing a display on a display device of a particular region of a three-dimensional virtual space captured by a virtual camera placed in the three-dimensional space and displaying particular pieces of information corresponding to user selected positions within a displayed region of the virtual space, wherein the display control device has access to storage memory which contain a plurality of particular pieces of the information which relate to particular locations in the virtual space, and wherein the display control program causes the computer to perform operations and function as: a virtual camera setting changer which changes at least an attitude of the virtual camera provided in the three-dimensional virtual space in accordance with an input provided via an input device by a user; a display position calculator which calculates distances between display positions in a displayed region of the virtual space of the locations in the virtual space to which the plurality of pieces of the particular information are related based on a setting of the virtual camera; a display position comparator which compares the calculated distances between the displays positions; an information group setter which sets a group of pieces of the plurality of pieces of particular information related to the locations for which a distance between the display positions is smaller than a predetermined first reference based on a result of the display position distance comparison, thereby dividing the plurality of particular pieces of information into a plurality of groups of particular information; a determination region setter which sets a determination region corresponding to each group within the displayed region based on display positions of the locations to which grouped information is related; a first display controller which generates and displays an image of the virtual space on the display device based on the setting of the virtual camera; a first input receiver which receives an input via the input device from the user for designating a position within the displayed region; and a second display controller which, when a designated position provided via the input device by the user is located within the set determination region, displays the particular pieces of information which are included in a group corresponding to the determination region on the display device.
