Description

  The present invention relates to a service providing server, a mobile phone control program, a service providing server control program, and a game control method. More specifically, the present invention uses a mobile phone and constructs a completely new game environment that combines the unique receiving / sending function of this mobile phone with a net game using a wide-area communication network such as the Internet. It relates to technology.

  In recent years, the spread of mobile phones has been remarkable, and most people, especially among young people, have become owned. On the other hand, in order to differentiate the ringtone from other users, the incoming melody is more personalized by changing the user's preference to music or the like, and the display means of the mobile phone As for the standby screen displayed on the mobile phone, there is a tendency to differentiate the mobile phone of another person by using the user's own standby screen.

  In particular, in i-mode, various games such as so-called i-applis can be played on mobile phones in accordance with the JAVA (registered trademark) standard. In addition, with the JAVA (registered trademark) application, the standby screen described above is conventionally only a still image, but a standby screen for moving images has also appeared.

  As a standby screen for such a movie, a 3D polygon engine is used as a SEGA JAVA (registered trademark) application supplied to J-phones, and the main character “Urara” of “Space Channel 5” waits. It has been proposed that a character appearing on a receiving screen and danced with a 3D polygon dances (Non-Patent Document 1).

  The JAVA (registered trademark) application described above can display an animation that is linked when a call or mail arrives, or can set a voice ring tone by the voice of “Urara”. In addition, by answering a simple question such as "How was your current phone call?" Answer data is accumulated, and as you use it, the fun and fun features that the costumes and movements of “Urara” change and mysterious characters appear are also available. And the above-mentioned Non-Patent Document 1.

  In addition, various services that can apply for a prize using the above mobile phone have been proposed. As typical examples, Patent Literature 1, Patent Literature 2, Patent Literature 3, and Patent Literature 4 are disclosed. Can be mentioned.

  In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, a prize execution method and a prize system for implementing a prize using a portable terminal such as a mobile phone are disclosed. Specifically, the technology according to Patent Document 1 is made for the purpose of enabling the application side and the implementation side of the sweepstakes to minimize the work necessary for the implementation of the sweepstakes.

  The technology according to the above-mentioned patent document 2 was made for the purpose of pursuing the interactive nature of lottery application. When a lottery application is made, the lottery result is immediately notified to the applicant by e-mail or the like. Has been.

  The technique according to Patent Document 3 is intended to provide a communication prize system that can obtain results on the spot. Specifically, in response to a prize hosted by the organizer who is the caller, when the applicant who is the caller operates the communication terminal to connect to the center device through the information communication network and apply for the prize, The center device is configured to determine whether or not the application from the communication terminal is wrong on the spot and immediately notify the applicant of the result by replying to the communication terminal through the information communication network. Yes.

  In the above-mentioned patent document 4, a method of transmitting a mutual greeting card with a prize lottery is proposed.

  By the way, if the video moves in response to an incoming call from a mobile phone, such as “Urara” described above, it is possible to adopt the video as a standby screen. By adopting a video screen that is different from others, the mobile phone can be made more original. However, if the phone is prolonged, there is a problem that the moving image cannot be visually recognized, and that the user gets bored by watching the movie many times.

  In addition, the method of applying to the sweepstakes site using the Internet communication function of the mobile phone is not different from the method of applying for the sweepstakes via the Internet from a personal computer. It was hard to say.

  In view of the above problems, the present applicant has already disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-318, “a mobile phone equipped with a game program capable of displaying a game result based on the game program on the display means, While a game based on the game program starts in response to an incoming call or outgoing call from a mobile phone, a specific benefit is given to the user of the mobile phone in response to a disconnection of the incoming call or outgoing call from the mobile phone or after a predetermined time has elapsed. A mobile phone having a game program characterized in that a game result that can be provided includes a control content displayed on the display means, and "a game result is received from a mobile phone through a communication line network; A service providing server capable of providing a service according to a game result received for a user, the game result being Proposing a service providing server characterized in that a game is started in response to an incoming call or outgoing call to a speaker and is determined in response to a connection release based on the incoming call or outgoing call or after a predetermined time has elapsed. ing.

  On the other hand, recently, a plurality of game terminals are connected through a server, a game program in the server is downloaded to the plurality of game terminals, game input is performed on each game terminal, and game input is performed from each game terminal. , The server receives via the Internet, and a plurality of game players play in one game space that progresses in one game time axis, and a plurality of game players compete to solve one solution theme. The game with the fun of communication is popular. Such a game form is called a net game.

  JP 2001-76066 A   JP 2001-16335 A   Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-242714   JP 2003-78591 A   (See the address homepage at http://k-tai.impress.co.jp/news/2001/05/14/jpsega.htm.)

  In the technology according to Patent Document 5 proposed by the present applicant, the mobile phone owner is not led by the mobile phone owner himself while fully utilizing the functions of the mobile phone described above, and the prize is won by another person. Can provide a stand-by sweepstakes program, a mobile phone incorporating the sweepstakes program, or a service providing server using the sweepstakes program, but the preference is only in a one-to-one relationship between the server and the mobile phone. Does not occur. Therefore, the applicant of the present application considered that a technique for further improving the game performance is necessary. Further, in the technique according to Patent Document 5, in order to obtain a lottery result (game result) advantageous to the game player depending on the lottery probability using a random number or the like inside each mobile phone, for example, the game In the case of a prize game that provides prizes according to the result, it is necessary to prepare more prizes than the probability value based on the target number of prizes to be provided in the prize game. However, in the adjustment of the number of prizes, since the error from the target number of prizes depends on the number of players who perform the above prize game, it may be difficult to accurately predict the number of prizes to be prepared. was there. Moreover, in the technology according to Patent Document 5, since the number of times of access to the server causes an increase in the communication fee, the user feels that the user of the mobile phone has really gained the use of the game result. As a result, there is a problem that there are few merits from another aspect that the increase in call charges depends on the number of prizes. It was.

  On the other hand, various types of online games have appeared, such as a game in which a plurality of players can play a battle game in a conventional game machine or a driving game connected via a LAN. However, there are currently no innovative games that make it an essential requirement to use a wide-area communication line network, and enjoy the extraordinary fun of adopting that configuration, Most of the conventional LAN-connected communication games are simply applied to the Internet constructed as a wide area communication line network, and in order to further spread the net game, it may become a new genre. The appearance of a net game is desired.

  While conducting the development work of the net game that can be a new genre, taking into account the above matters sufficiently, the present inventor has developed both a wide-area communication network such as a mobile phone and the Internet. As a combined and used net game, board games such as sugoroku games that can be entered in groups of one or more people are adopted, so that if you goal within the campaign period, you can acquire the targeted prizes, I came up with the idea that system development should be done.

  In the net board game based on the above-mentioned idea, in particular, when an entry is made in a group unit, an environment in which a partner can enjoy the same purpose and can play a game in cooperation with each other is constructed. It is an indispensable requirement to build a defense means in advance to prevent personal information of each entry member constituting the information from leaking unnecessarily. If this essential requirement is satisfied, the probability that the above-mentioned net board game is widely spread to society is expected to be considerably high.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above technical problem, and its purpose is to prevent personal information of each entry member from being leaked unnecessarily when entering a board game via a network in units of groups. However, the present invention is to provide a service providing server, a mobile phone control program, a service providing server control program, and a game control method, in which partners can enjoy the same goal and advance a game in cooperation with each other. .

This preparation is processing such as joining the obtained game progress data and the telephone number of the mobile phone 20 as one data. When the processing of step S10 is completed, the mobile phone number data, which is data for determining which mobile phone 20 is transmitting from, to the server 1 at the address, and the game result are automatically stored in the server. When the control means 21 of the server 1 detects that the transmission is completed, the connection with the server 1 is cut off and the process ends.

  Next, based on FIG. 54, the process flow in the said server 1 after the said game result is transmitted to the server 1 is demonstrated.

  First, as described above, the server 1 maintains a standby state waiting for connection for downloading a dice game program from the mobile phone 20 and reception of a game result as the number of pieces (game progress data) from the mobile phone 20. (Step S30). In this embodiment, the number of pieces = game progress data, but the game progress data is a broader concept than the number of pieces, and as data for advancing the game, for example, it is connected to the server 1 and roulette. It is data relating to the number of times the game is turned, or it is not a board game but a shooting game that is performed while connected to the server 1, and the game progress data is the number of balls that can be fired by the shooting game. included. That is to say, in association with this embodiment, the first game as the dice game is a game for obtaining game progress data for progressing the second game as the board game, and the server Can the control means 2 make a goal while checking the stock of prizes by causing the first game to be played while not connected to 1 and the second game being played while being connected to the server 1? It is possible to easily control the provision of the service within the range of the number of prizes and the number of prizes given by the sponsor while determining (whether or not the prize can be applied).

  And if the game result transmitted by said step S11 is transmitted to the server 1, the control means 2 will detect that this transmitted game result was received (step S31).

  When the game result as the game progress data is received in step S31, the authentication process is executed based on the telephone number joined to the game progress data as the game result (step S32). This authentication process is a process for specifying a user as a user corresponding to the mobile phone number registered in the user database in advance. Then, the control means 2 accesses the user database 4 in order to see whether the user has already executed the board game in the past by specifying the user. If there is a past board game execution history, the control means 2 extracts the piece position data that the user has advanced to the previous time.

  Based on the control of the control means 2, a calculation process is executed to determine whether or not a goal has been reached when the board game is played based on the received game result and the previous position data (step S33).

  Next, as a result of the arithmetic processing, it is determined whether or not a goal is reached when the user's piece is moved by the number of pieces received on the board game by the control means 2 (step S34).

  If it is determined that the goal has been reached (step S34: YES), the control means 2 determines which sponsor's game is being played from the sponsor identification code accompanying the received game progress data, and the sponsor database. 6, the control means 2 determines whether or not it is possible to make a goal by looking at whether the number of free gifts or the number of prizes remains (step S35).

  If it is determined that the goal cannot be achieved by the control means 2 as a result of this determination (step S35: NO), the mobile phone 20 that has already received the number of images has received image data or Notification is made by voice data (step S39).

  When the control means 2 determines that the goal can be achieved with the received game result (step S35: YES), a process of issuing an authentication number to indicate that the player has won by the goal, The control means 2 executes a process of extracting image data from the sponsor database 6 as a notification process to praise (step S36). This authentication number is issued for the purpose of inquiring when a prize or prize is not sent to the user later.

  After step S34, when the authentication number prepared in step S34 and image data for notifying the winning (for example, image data for notifying the user again what has been hit) can be prepared. The prepared authentication number and image data for notifying the winning are transmitted as winning confirmation data to the address of the user's cellular phone 20 (step S37). The data of this address is extracted from the user database 5, and a mobile phone number or a mail address corresponds to this.

  When the transmission of the winning confirmation data is completed in step S37, next, the winning data or prize winning process won with reference to the user database 5 is executed (step S38), and then the process is terminated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the game is always executed has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the user can operate the game by operating the key button switch 24A. The execution may be canceled halfway. In this case, when the control means 21 of the mobile phone 20 inputs a game release command by the key button switch 24A, the control means 21 prohibits execution of the game program stored in the RAM 26 based on the command. As a result, the mobile phone 20 does not start a game even when an incoming call is received, thereby reducing battery consumption. The user can select whether or not to execute the game depending on the remaining battery level.

  FIG. 55 shows a state in which the outcome A of the dice S as game progress data is displayed on the display means 22 of the mobile phone 20, and is a display screen of the game result display in step S8. In this way, the game result is displayed, and the user decides whether or not to transmit “dice roll 5” to the game server 1 (step S9). As shown in FIG. 56, the effective number of turns located in front of the dice S is set to be an effective number of pieces, and as shown in the development view of the dice S in FIG. It is displayed as a game lottery result based on the probability table. As is clear from FIG. 55 and FIG. 56, a company logo as advertising information is used for the dice S, and the user confirms the outcome A of the dice S. Consideration is given so that the advertising effect can be obtained. Of course, as shown in this embodiment, the company is not limited to the method in which the company uses the logo of the campaign prize to create the advertising effect on the outcome A of the dice S. It can also be configured to display on the display means 22.

<Modification>
FIGS. 57 and 58 show a modification of the processing in the mobile phone 20 of FIGS. 52 and 53. Steps S1 to S8 having the same flow are the same as FIGS. 52 and 53, and thus the same. Reference numerals are assigned and repeated description is omitted. In this modified example, the flow until the lottery result is finalized after the end of the dice game program corresponding to the prizes and prizes provided by each sponsor on the mobile phone 20 through the incoming call is the same as described above. In the case of the embodiment, until the connection with the server 1, the number of pieces to be executed in the server 1 as the second game is controlled without being displayed on the display means 22. In other words, the probability table is set so that the number of pieces obtained by the lottery under the control of the control means 21 includes the numerical value for advancing or retreating the piece on the board game, and the number of pieces obtained by the lottery is used. The mobile phone 20 is connected to the server 1 on the condition that the user inputs an input permitting movement of the piece on the board game, and the number of pieces obtained by lottery is displayed on the display means 22. Display related display information.

  In step S8, a lottery result transmission confirmation screen as shown in FIG. While the user of the mobile phone 20 is viewing the lottery result transmission confirmation screen, the button with the mark B or C is pushed in the key button switch 24 of the input means 24 of the mobile phone 20, and the lottery is performed. The user is prompted to decide whether or not to transmit the game progress data as a result to the server 1.

  Next, when the input means 24 inputs that the lottery result is not transmitted (step S9-1: YES), the lottery result transmission confirmation screen is deleted and the process is terminated.

  If the input means 24 is used to send a lottery result, the control means 21 executes a lottery result transmission process in step S10.

  When the control means 21 determines that the frame number data corresponding to the lottery result has been received based on the lottery result transmitted from the server 1 (step S12: YES), the received frame number data is stored in the RAM 25. (Step S13).

  Next, the frame number related display data corresponding to the frame number data stored in the RAM 25 is extracted from the image data included in the dice game program (step S14).

  Subsequent to step S <b> 14, the control means 21 displays the frame number related display information on the display means 22 using the extracted image data as the frame number related display information.

  When the control means 21 determines that the winning confirmation data is transmitted from the server 1 to the mobile phone 20 (step S16: YES), the winning effect display process is extracted from the image data included in the dice game (step S17). And display on the display means 22 (step S18).

  FIG. 59 shows a processing flow in the server 1 corresponding to the processing flow in the mobile phone 20 of FIGS. 57 and 58. That is, FIG. 59 shows a modification of the processing in the server 1 of FIG. 54, and is different in that step S32-1 of the frame number notification processing is inserted between step S32 and step S33. Since this flow is the same as the flow in FIG. 59, the same reference numerals are given and the repeated description is omitted.

  That is, in this modified example, the control means 2 sets the transmission destination address after the authentication processing when the frame number data corresponding to step S12 of FIG. The flow is transmitted after being confirmed (step S13-1).

  As described above, the flow of the game described with reference to FIGS. 52 to 60 is that when one of the mobile phones 20 is connected to the server 1 and the board game proceeds, a plurality of mobile phones 20 are connected. The same is true when the game form is such that the players compete for goals on the same board game play field.

<Action and effect>
According to this embodiment, the following operations and effects are achieved.

  (1) With the download selection screen displayed on one mobile phone 20 as a base, the procedure for entering the group unit with the user of the mobile phone 20 as a leader, including the download process of the game program, is completed. When another mobile phone of the user who becomes a partner is designated, the server 1 issues a partner-dedicated URL necessary for downloading the game program to one mobile phone 20. In response to receiving the partner-dedicated URL issued from the server 1, the one mobile phone 20 transmits an email attached with the received partner-dedicated URL to the other mobile phone 20 without going through the server 1. . When the link connection operation to the partner dedicated URL attached to the mail is performed from another mobile phone 20 and the one mobile phone 20 receives the partner dedicated URL issued from the server, the server 1 uses this as a trigger. As confirmation processing before the game program is sent out, data for generating a screen for determining whether or not to notify the server 1 of specific identification information related to the mobile phone 20 is sent to the other mobile phone 20. When the mobile phone information notification screen generation data is received, the other mobile phone 20 displays the mobile phone information notification screen. In this way, when a user of one mobile phone 20 enters the game in units of groups from the mobile phone 20 as a leader, a partner-dedicated URL is issued, and an email attached with this partner-dedicated URL is Since it is transmitted from the mobile phone to the other mobile phone 20 of the user designated as the partner at the time of the group entry without going through the server 1, the user of the other mobile phone 20 attaches the URL dedicated to the partner. When receiving the e-mail, the user of one mobile phone 20 who has designated himself as a partner does not leak the personal information of the other party who can truly form a partnership, in other words, the user of the other mobile phone 20 The user of another mobile phone 20 can determine whether or not the other party is the other party. That is, when a user of another mobile phone 20 refuses to form a partnership with a user of one mobile phone 20 that has designated himself / herself as a partner, the received mail may be deleted. In addition, when the link connection operation to the partner-dedicated URL attached to the received mail is performed, the mobile phone information notification determination screen is displayed on the other mobile phone 20. At this time, the user of the other mobile phone 20 may leak his / her personal information to the user of the one mobile phone 20, and if the user of the other mobile phone 20 determines that the other mobile phone 20 is an unfavorable partner for the partnership, By not permitting notification of telephone information, it is possible to refuse to play a game in cooperation with the user of one mobile phone 20. That is, the user of the other mobile phone 20 only when the user of the other mobile phone 20 determines that the user of the one mobile phone 20 is worthy of forming a partner relationship. The game is executed jointly by the group including. Therefore, when entering the board game via the network in group units, the personal information of each entry member is prevented from being leaked unnecessarily, while the partners enjoy the same goal and advance the game together It is possible to build a game environment.

  (2) When game result data relating to a board game is received from each mobile phone 20 of one mobile phone and another mobile phone, the server 1 updates the game result data received from each mobile phone 20 each time. Remember. The updated and stored latest game result data of each partner is sent from the server 1 to the mobile phone 20 of the user designated as each partner when a predetermined event occurs. Therefore, through the server 1, the entry members who have formed a partnership can exchange and confirm information about the board game of each partner.

  (3) Each time one stage is cleared, the server 1 sends a stage clear screen to the mobile phone 20. Then, a stage clear screen is displayed on the mobile phone 20. On this stage clear screen, a screen for notifying and registering information about the mobile phone 20, a screen for notifying information on the new stage and determining whether or not to proceed to this stage, and to proceed to the new stage A screen for selecting a favorite course from a plurality of courses of the stage is included, but in particular, new information on the stage is replaced by data communication with the sponsor terminal. Therefore, the contents of the stage can be updated semipermanently. As a result, the mobile phone content provides a sufficient incentive to the sponsor.

  An example in which the above-described embodiment is specifically applied to mobile phone content will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  (1) The feature of this cellular phone content is that it uses the patented invention of the patent right (Patent No. 3466179) owned by the applicant, has a passive element, and is a phone call or email from anyone. The reason is that the incoming call is connected to the enjoyment of the user of the mobile phone 20, so that a plurality of persons can play. In other words, when the mobile phone 20 having the communication function as described above is used to make a game content that can be played together by a plurality of people, the game purpose is mainly used like a net game. Unlike individual IDs for users who are used only within the game space, the e-mail address, telephone number, etc. of the mobile phone 20 cannot be changed frequently. Therefore, the main use of the mobile phone 20 is for the purpose of calling a third party, and even when the mobile phone 20 is mailed, the main use is to send and receive mail to the other party as well. If such a phone number or e-mail address is known to a malicious person, it will be forced to change the phone number or e-mail address. Not only that, but reprinting business cards, etc. would result in financial losses. Therefore, it is necessary for the content provider to pay sufficient attention so that it is not possible to play a game with an unspecified number of people in the previous stage where a plurality of people play together.

  (2) In addition, the mobile phone content of the present embodiment is a prize content in which a game is aimed at a prize provided by a sponsor. In addition, it is common to create a program and display image data, connect to the server 1 that provides the prize content from the sponsor's homepage, etc., and download the program and display image data. No one offers an environment that allows phone content to continue for many years. However, considering that the original purpose of the sweepstakes site is not only temporary commercials for users, but also aims to improve awareness by continuously displaying commercials, from the standpoint of sponsors, content production costs I thought that we should pay attention to the fact that there are many manufacturers who agree to provide services continuously at a low price.

  Note that “(not shown for violation of public order and morals)” used in FIGS. 1 to 40 is a registered trademark of the present applicant. Hereinafter, the indication that it is a registered trademark is omitted.

  2 to 13 show the flow up to entry for a specific sponsor applied to a so-called self-directed site, and in particular, FIGS. 14 to 24 obtain prizes from a plurality of sponsors based on the game results. It explains the flow up to entry in the so-called portal site.

  FIG. 1 shows a basic specification of “(not shown for violation of public order and morals)” which is the mobile phone content.

<Flow of entry on the site>
FIG. 2 shows that the service provider of the mobile phone 20 shifts from a WEB page linked to a recommended site such as a sweepstakes site to a dedicated TOPWEB page of “(not published for violation of public order and morals)” and carries the image. The state displayed on the display screen of the telephone 20 is shown. The TOP page has "Links for detailed explanation of (public order and moral violations, not shown)", simple explanations, and download links for other programs and other image data for one and two people. Yes.

  In addition, when “link of detailed explanation of (not published for public order and morals violation)” is input with the input switch of the mobile phone 20, “(not published for public order and morals violation)” Is downloaded from the mobile phone content service providing server 1 and displayed. The download destination is the same for the previous TOP page. And what is the above "(Not published for public order and morals violation)?" From the screen “”, links of information to be provided to the user of the mobile phone 20 in order to play each game are set. When the set link is selected with the input switch of the mobile phone 20, screen data is downloaded from the server 1 as needed.

  FIG. 3 shows a rule for one person from the game program regarding FIG. 2 (not shown for violation of public order and morals) and a dedicated TOP page for downloading image data used for executing the game in the game program. The display image on the display screen of the mobile phone 20 when the link of 2 or the rule link for two persons is selected is shown.

  4 from the above dedicated TOP page, “Click here for details on prizes”, or “Link to detailed explanation of (public order and moral violation)” link on “What is the prize?” Link It is a figure which shows the state which displayed the screen data downloaded.

  Figure 5 shows the link to “Download App for One Person” from the dedicated TOP page (not shown for public order and morals violations) and sends a mail to server 1 dress (not shown for public order and morals violations). , Password setting, password setting, (not shown for violation of public order and morals) The screen displayed until the download of the program download screen is shown.

  A more specific control flow by the server 1 is well shown in FIGS. Referring to both figures, (1) the server 1 transmits a download selection screen to the mobile phone 20 and displays it, and (2) the mail address designated by the server 1 from the selection screen. A step of receiving an e-mail from the e-mail address of the mobile phone 20 as a transmission source; and (3) downloading a program (game program) to the e-mail address of the received mobile phone 20 (not shown for violation of public order and morals). And a step of transmitting screen data displaying a temporary ID (temporary identification information), and (4) transmitting authentication password setting screen generation data to the mobile phone 20 connected to the URL link; (5) The authentication password data received from the mobile phone 20 is linked to the temporary ID. And (6) *, (7) transmitting mobile phone information notification screen data to the mobile phone 20 for prompting input of necessity of transmitting the information of the mobile phone 20 to the server 1 And (8) mobile phone information transmission required (YES) data and / or mobile unique identification information data is received from the mobile phone 20 as a trigger, and download screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 20 for display. And a step of associating the mobile unique identification information data received with the provisional ID confirmed and the password data for authentication stored in a memory, and (9) receiving that the download link of the download screen has been selected. Based on the data that generates the screen for selecting whether or not the download start screen generation data is necessary. Download start screen data transmitting the selection screen to display on the mobile phone 20, and (10) receiving a signal indicating that download required (downloading) has been selected on the screen of (9) above. Triggered by this, the step of transmitting the game program and transmitting the data for generating a screen for indicating the download state to display on the mobile phone 20, and (11) transmitting all the game programs In response to the detection by the download completion detection means, the step of transmitting the set completion screen generation data (download completion screen generation data) to the mobile phone 20 can be executed by the computer of the server 1 described above. The control program is executed. The above is the entry procedure for playing a game by one person.

  On the other hand, what is characteristic as the processing of the server 1 until a game program for a plurality of people to jointly play the same game is downloaded to each mobile phone 20 is that the partner is nominated and the partner understands it. The exchange of information through the mobile phone 20 is not performed via the server 1 as in the prior art, but is performed by direct information transmission between the users, that is, between the mobile phones 20 via the mobile phone station. Is a point. In the conventional net game, each other's message is transmitted via the net game server 1, and therefore, information transmission until the partner is discovered may be performed using virtual identification information (for example, a pen name). Many. On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment, information is transmitted by an e-mail address of mobile phone information that can be objectively specified by the individual, and the server 1 has a specific information related to the mobile phone 20 in advance. Since the forwarding mail to the partner is transmitted to the partner-recruited mobile phone 20 through the step of storing the identification information data, it is easy to specify the transmission source of the sent mail as before. It becomes. As described above, since the sender of the mail can be easily identified, unnecessary trouble can be avoided in advance.

  FIG. 12 shows a flow of downloading the above-described auxiliary program (auxiliary application) that can be attached to the downloaded program. The auxiliary application, for example, maintains a state in which a downloaded program (that is, not posted for public order and morals violation) is activated in a standby state of the mobile phone 20, and a lottery result is obtained for each incoming call. In this state, the player can download the content image data of the current prize by a simple operation in a state where the game approaching the goal is continued according to the lottery result.

  FIG. 13 is a chart schematically showing the transition of the display screen of the mobile phone 20 for transmitting display data from the server 1 to the mobile phone 20 for the call charge at the time of downloading the game program according to the type of the mobile phone 20. is there.

<Entry process on the portal site>
In the case of this embodiment, the portal site is a site that is set in advance so that the mobile phone manufacturer can easily use the site. For example, if NTT DOCOMO activates the i menu, This means a site displayed on the display screen of the telephone 20. For entry on this portal site, unlike the case of the above-mentioned self-contained site, before downloading the game program, you must enter your personal information, such as your name and address, or your date of birth as member information, and register as a member. After that, the flow of the mobile phone 20 that guides the user to download the game program is the same, and the other processing flow of the server 1 is the same as that of the above-described self-contained site. Further detailed explanation is omitted.
<Game structure consisting of multiple stages>
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, a “Sugoroku game” composed of a plurality of stages is prepared in the stage storage unit in the server 1. In other words, the goal is repeated from the start and finally all stages are aimed at clearing, and it is possible to acquire various items that can be used when proceeding with the game from the start to the goal of each stage is doing. In this way, a plurality of chopped stages are prepared, and game data (for example, display image data of a route or item data arranged in the route) for downloading to the next stage is downloaded every stage clear. Although there is a problem of communication charges when downloading, the display range that can be displayed at once is limited in the case of the display screen of the mobile phone 20, and from the start of one stage clear to the goal Problems such as the player giving up the goal from the beginning if the route is too long, or the sponsor has to add prizes or the number of prizes has decreased and the difficulty needs to be raised after the service starts This is for the purpose of facilitating modification such as adding a stage during the game service period. 25 to 28 show how to display the display screen on the stage. Further, FIGS. 29 to 31 show the case where an item is acquired from the start to the goal on the stage, and A flow of how to use the item is shown.

  32 to 37, from the standby screen, the server 1 causes the mobile phone 20 to download data relating to a prize to be hit, the server 1 causes the mobile phone 20 to download data describing game rules, and other current positions. A flow is shown in which the server 1 causes the mobile phone 20 to download data for confirming the above. In addition, FIG. 35 schematically shows the setting of the production effect (not shown for violation of public order and morals), and FIG. 36 schematically shows the setting for changing the standby screen.

  FIG. 38 to FIG. 40 show respective flows from the goal to the subsequent processing for the purpose of simply clearing the game, for the purpose of acquiring some free gift, and for the purpose of acquiring the free gift as data. ing. The acquisition of a free gift as data is a display image of a QR code that plays the role of a coupon in this embodiment.

  The feature here is that the data indicating the goal after the goal is the entry code (the temporary ID), the entered content ID, the goal stage ID, the system time at the goal, the input button operation ( For example, when transmitting to the server 1 with the α button switch), the server 1 transmits a mail attached with a link for accessing the input screen data such as the final prize destination to the mobile phone 20 after the transmission. . Then, when the user of the mobile phone 20 finds it convenient on the mobile phone 20 when the mobile phone 20 has a convenient time to input an address or the like, the mail link (URL) is accessed. The advantage is that it can be completed.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and examples which are specific examples thereof. For example, the earned points may be shared by the partners and totaled, and may be configured to be able to enter the point ranking after the goal. In this case, the fun of the game when entering in groups is further amplified. It goes without saying that various design changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims attached to the present specification.

  In the present invention, when entering a net board game on a group basis, personal information of each entry member is prevented from being leaked to the outside, while partners enjoy the same goal and play games together. Since the mobile phone 20 can be used, a completely new game environment is created by combining the unique receiving / sending function of the mobile phone 20 and a net game using a wide-area communication network such as the Internet. As a technology, it contributes greatly.
