Then, printing of the character card is started based on the print data (S
step 404). By passing the printed character card to the game player by the above operation,
Game players can get the actual virtual character card they currently own in the game.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In another embodiment, a game player (user) can select a character card to be printed. This is because once the character cards that are held are printed, only the increased character cards need to be printed each time the character cards increase. Another reason is that some game players (users) only need to have valuable character cards. Therefore, the client computers 7a,... 7n are provided with a character card selection function.

More specifically, the storage unit 74 stores the same character card management table that the game server 3 has.
To be stored. Then, when a store clerk or a game player inputs a desired character card name, the identification number corresponding to the input name is searched and extracted from the character card management table. Then, by collating with the identification number transmitted from the game server 3, reading out only the print data of the matching identification number from the print management table and printing by the printer, only the character card desired by the game player can be printed. I can do it.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, the game server 3 has the selection function of the second embodiment. Specifically, the game servers 3 are stored in the client computers 7a,.
Are stored in the storage unit 74 in the same manner as the character card management table of the user. Then, when a store clerk or a game player inputs a desired character card name, the identification number corresponding to the input name is searched and extracted from the character card management table.
Then, the identification number of the extracted character is assigned to the user I.
D is transmitted to the game server 3 together.

The game server 3 checks whether or not the identification number of the character card corresponding to the received user ID actually exists based on the received identification number of the character card and the user ID. This is performed using the table 37. If they match, the matching result is transmitted to the client computers 7a,... 7n.

The client computers 7a,... 7n read out only the print data of the game server identification number extracted from the print management table when the match result is received.
Print with a printer. Even with such a configuration, an effect similar to that of the second embodiment can be obtained. In the above embodiment, the client computers 7a,
.. 7n are provided with printers for printing character cards, but all character cards are prepared in advance at stores, and client computers 7a,... 7n receive only information on character cards held by game players (users). It may be configured such that a character card prepared in advance based on the information of the character card held is passed to the game player (user).

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. First
In the third to third embodiments, the terminal for playing a game and the terminal for printing a card are separately described, that is, divided into client computers 6a,... 6n and client computers 7a,. However, the development of printing means (printers) in recent years has been remarkable, and high-quality printing has become possible even with a home color printer. Therefore, the fourth embodiment is characterized in that the printing means (printer) is provided on the client computer 6a,... 6n side so that the card held at home can be printed.

The reason why the print management table 80 is provided in the game server 3 is that the print data usually has an enormous amount of data, and the management of print data of many cards by a personal computer such as the client computers 6a,. This is because it is not easy from the viewpoint of, for example, and even if it can be realized, all print data is transferred to the client computer 6.
The management by a,... 6n is because there is a possibility that a card that is not possessed can be printed. Another reason is to reduce transmission and reception of huge print data as much as possible to reduce communication costs.

The operation between the game server 3 and the client computers 6a,... 6n will be described below with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The updating of the card possession management table 37 is the same as in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will not be repeated. First, the game player (user) inputs his / her user ID (Step
500). .. 6n
Sends a user ID and requests that the possessed card information corresponding to the user ID be given (Step
501). Here, the held card information is information for displaying a list of currently printable cards before receiving print data of the card.

The game server 3 receives requests from the client computers 7a,... 7n (Step).
600). Then, based on the received user ID, the identification number of the corresponding character card is searched from the card holding management table 37 (Step 601). Then, the presence or absence of the identification number of the character card corresponding to the user ID is confirmed (Step 602). If there is the identification number of the character card corresponding to the user ID, the card holding information of this identification number is transmitted to the client computer (Step 602). 603). On the other hand, if there is no identification number of the character card, the fact is transmitted to the client computer (Step 604).

When the client computers 6a,... 6n receive data from the game server 3 (Step 7).
00), confirming the presence or absence of the card holding information corresponding to the user ID based on the received data (Step 70).

ep 703). Then, a character card to be printed is selected from the character card names displayed in the list (Step 704). The selected character card is transmitted to the game server 3 as selection information (Step
705).

Upon receiving the selection information (Step 800), the game server 3 checks the identification number of the selected character card from the received selection information, and reads the print data corresponding to the selected character card from the print management table 80. (Step 801). Then, the read print data is transmitted to the client computers 6a,.
n (Step 802).

The client computers 6a,... 6n receive the print data (Step 900), and start printing the character card based on the received print data (Step 901). With the above operation, the game player can obtain the actual virtual character card that he or she currently holds in the game.

By storing the print data once received in the storage means, the character card can be printed any number of times. In the fourth embodiment, useless transmission / reception of print data is omitted. Although the function to select the card to be printed was provided in advance,
The configuration may be such that the function of selecting is omitted and all the print data of the possessed card is transmitted from the game server.
