Ranking list display method in game system, and system for executing the method
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a display request for a ranking list from an electronic device, the display request including identification information corresponding to a user who is a ranking confirmation target;
circuitry configured toaccess a database including stored ranking data corresponding to a plurality of users participating in an on-line gaming environment;
identify, based on the stored ranking data accessed from the database, a position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target in relation to a display range of the ranking list;
generate display data including a pointer, which corresponds to the identified position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target in relation to the display range;
control the communication interface to transmit the generated display data to the electronic device;
determine, based on a user input received at the electronic device, whether the display range is changed;
determine, when it is determined that the display range is changed, a direction of the pointer based on the changed display range and the identified position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target;
determine that a user input has been received at the pointer displayed by the electronic device; and
control the electronic device to display the display range of the ranking list including the rank of the user who is the ranking confirmation target based on the user input received at the pointer.

Abstract
A ranking list display method in a game system, which can easily execute ranking confirmation of a user, who is a ranking confirmation target, such as the user himself/herself, a friend or a rival, is provided.
According to the invention, a ranking list display method in a game system includes determining a position in a ranking list of a game of a user who is a ranking confirmation target in relation to a display range of the ranking list which is currently displayed on a terminal, and displaying a pointer, which corresponds to the determined position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target in relation to the display range of the ranking list which is currently displayed on the terminal, within the display range of the ranking list which is currently displayed on the terminal.

11. A method performed by a system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, via a communication interface of the system, a display request for a ranking list from an electronic device, the display request including identification information corresponding to a user who is a ranking confirmation target; accessing, by circuitry of the system, a database including stored ranking data corresponding to a plurality of users participating in an on-line gaming environment; identifying, by the circuitry based on the stored ranking data accessed from the database, a position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target in relation to a display range of the ranking list; generating, by the circuitry, display data including a pointer, which corresponds to the identified position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target in relation to the display range; controlling, by the circuitry, the communication interface to transmit the generated display data to the electronic device; determining, by the circuitry based on a user input received at the electronic device, whether the display range is changed; determining, by the circuitry when it is determined that the display range is changed, a direction of the pointer based on the changed display range and the identified position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target; determining, by the circuitry, that a user input has been received at the pointer displayed by the electronic device; and controlling, by the circuitry, the electronic device to display the display range of the ranking list including the user who is the ranking confirmation target based on the user input received at the pointer.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program instructions, which when executed by system, cause the system to:
-
receive a display request for a ranking list from an electronic device, the display request including identification information corresponding to a user who is a ranking confirmation target; access a database including stored ranking data corresponding to a plurality of users participating in an on-line gaming environment; identify a position in a ranking list of a game of a user who is a ranking confirmation target in relation to a display range of the ranking list based on the stored ranking data accessed from the database; and generate display data including a pointer, which corresponds to the identified position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target in relation to the display range; transmit the generated display data to the electronic device; determine, based on a user input received at the electronic device, whether the display range is changed; determine, when it is determined that the display range is changed, a direction of the pointer based on the changed display range and the identified position in the ranking list of the user who is the ranking confirmation target; determine that a user input has been received at the pointer displayed by the electronic device; and control the electronic device to display the display range of the ranking list including the user who is the ranking confirmation target based on the user input received at the pointer.
