Description

  The present invention relates to a game system having a function of matching a plurality of users, a control method used therefor, and a computer program.

  A game system that matches a plurality of users and causes the plurality of users to play a common game is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2011-254857 A

  In a game system like patent document 1, a specific user like a professional sparrow in a mahjong game may participate in a game, for example. However, since there are a small number of specific users, the number of users matched with a specific user is limited to a part of the whole. Therefore, there is a possibility that users who can enjoy the effect of a specific user participating in the game are limited.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game system capable of diffusing the effects of a specific user participating in a game to many users, a control method used therefor, and a computer program.

  The game system of the present invention includes a matching unit that matches a plurality of users, a right granting unit that grants a right to receive a privilege to a user matched with a specific user, and a privilege that grants the privilege to a user having the right Providing means, and the right granting means grants the right to a user matched with the user having the right.

  The control method of the present invention includes a matching step for matching a plurality of users to a computer incorporated in a game system, a right granting step for granting a right to receive benefits to a user matched with a specific user, and the right A privilege granting step for granting the privilege to the user is executed. In the right granting step, the right is also granted to a user who is matched with the user having the right.

  The computer program for the game system of the present invention includes a computer that is incorporated in the game system, a matching unit that matches a plurality of users, a right granting unit that grants a right to receive benefits to a user matched with a specific user, It is comprised so that it may function as the privilege provision means which provides the said privilege to the user who has the said right, and the said right provision means gives the said right also to the user matched with the user who has the said right .

  Hereinafter, a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, the overall configuration of the game system will be described with reference to FIG. The game system 1 includes a center server 2 as a server device and a game machine (corresponding to a game device) 3 as a client device connectable to the center server 2 via a predetermined network 5. The center server 2 is configured as a single logical server device by combining a plurality of server units 2A, 2B. However, the center server 2 may be configured by a single server unit. Alternatively, the center server 2 may be logically configured using cloud computing.

  The game machine 3 is configured as a commercial (business) game machine that allows a user to play a game within a range corresponding to the play fee in exchange for payment of a predetermined play fee. This type of game machine 3 may be called an arcade game machine. The game machine 3 is a computer game device installed in a predetermined facility such as the store 6 for the purpose of making a large number of users repeatedly play games to increase profits. One or more appropriate number of game machines 3 are installed in the store 6. In FIG. 1, the game machine 3 is drawn without distinction, but the hardware configuration and game content may be appropriately selected. The game machine 3 may be configured as a dedicated machine having a physical configuration (for example, an operation unit) suitable for a specific game, or may be configured as a general-purpose machine that can handle various games by rewriting software. May be. However, it is assumed here that users of a plurality of game machines 3 are matched by the center server 2 and can play a common game.

  The network 5 may be appropriately configured as long as the game machine 3 and the user terminal device 4 can be connected to the center server 2 respectively. As an example, the network 5 is configured to realize network communication using a TCP / IP protocol. Typically, it is constructed by connecting the Internet 5A as a WAN and LANs 5B and 5C that connect the Internet 5A to the center server 2 and the game machine 3 via the router 5D. The user terminal device 4 is also connected to the Internet 5A with an appropriate configuration. Note that a local server may be installed between the game machine 3 and the router 5D of the store 6, and the game machine 3 may be communicably connected to the center server 2 via the local server. The server units 2A, 2B,... Of the center server 2 may be connected to each other by the WAN 5A instead of or in addition to the LAN 5C.

  With reference to FIG.2 and FIG.3, the game implemented with the game system 1 is demonstrated. In the game system 1, it is possible to execute a game that reproduces a competition (as an example, mahjong) that is performed in the real world. Users of a plurality of game machines 3 can participate in a common game (a game if mahjong) using the matching function of the center server 2 and play together. Some of the users of the mahjong game include those who are recognized among users as so-called professional users (sometimes called professional mahjong players) who are active in their real activities in real mahjong. It is. Hereinafter, such a user may be referred to as a professional user, and other users may be referred to as general users.

  In the game system 1, the effects displayed on the game screen 100 are different when playing a game between a professional user and a general user. In the case of a general user, an image shared by all general users is displayed on the game screen 100 as his / her character. In addition, an effect when the character is displayed on the game screen 100 and an effect when a predetermined operation such as “reach” or “Ron” is performed are also displayed that are shared by all general users. In addition, the BGM output from the game machine 3 during the game is also used by all general users. On the other hand, in the case of a professional user, characters and effects for the professional user are prepared. FIG. 2 shows an example of a game screen 100 of a game in which a professional user participates. In the case of a professional user, the professional user's image 101 is displayed on the game screen 100 as his character. In addition, for the effects when the image 101 is displayed on the game screen 100 and the effects when a predetermined operation such as “reach” or “Ron” is performed, the effects prepared for the professional user are games. It is displayed on the screen 100. In addition, BGM is also available for professional users.

  However, in this game system 1, the right to use the professional user's character, that is, the professional user's image 101, BGM, and the professional user's effect, is given to the general user matched with the professional user. The right is similarly given to a general user who is matched with the general user having the right. When a general user having this right plays a game, the professional user character and the professional user effect are displayed on the game screen 100. Further, the BGM for professional users is output from the game machine 3 during the game. In the following, these professional user characters, professional user BGM, and professional user effects may be collectively referred to as benefits.

  The right to use the privilege is granted when the user is matched with a professional user or a general user who has the right. And this privilege can be used until the general user who has a right becomes the 4th place (lowest) in the mahjong game. In other words, the right to use the privilege is taken up when it is the lowest in the game. Therefore, while playing with a professional user or a general user who has a right, all the general users participating in the game are given the right. And as a result of a game, when a general user becomes the lowest, a right is taken up from the general user. Note that the general user whose rights are taken up returns the image displayed on the game screen 100, the effect during the game, and the BGM to the image, effect, and BGM shared by all general users.

  FIG. 3 schematically shows a state in which rights are spread in this way. In this figure, “Pro” indicates a professional user. “U” indicates a general user who does not have a right, and “Up” indicates a general user who has a right. As described above, the right to use the privilege is given to the general user U matched with the professional user Pro. And you can have that right as long as you don't get the bottom in the mahjong game. Therefore, in the example shown in this figure, the first match is matched with the professional user Pro, and at the time of matching, all the general users U are given the right, but the second or third place in the result of the mahjong game The right of the general user Up that has become is maintained, and the right of the general user U who has reached the fourth place is revoked.

  This right is also given to a general user who matches the general user who has the right. Therefore, when two general users Up who are ranked 2nd or 3rd in the first match are matched with a general user U who has no rights in the second match, the right is granted to the general user U Accordingly, the rights of the general user Up who is ranked first to third in the game are maintained.

  As described above, in the game system 1, the right to use the privilege is given to the general user U matched with the professional user Pro, and is also given to the general user U matched with the general user Up having the right. Therefore, the rights can be granted to more general users U as compared to the case where the rights are granted only when matching with the professional user Pro.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the main part of the control system related to the granting or stripping of the right will be described. The center server 2 is provided with a game service management unit 21 and a storage unit 22. The game service management unit 21 is a logical device realized by a combination of computer hardware (including a CPU and a memory as an internal storage device necessary for its operation) of the center server 2 and software. The storage unit 22 is an external storage device realized by a storage unit including a nonvolatile storage medium (computer-readable storage medium) such as a hard disk array. The storage unit 22 may be configured to hold all data on a single storage unit, or may be configured to distribute and store data in a plurality of storage units.

  The storage unit 22 stores a computer program 23 as software for causing the computer hardware resources of the center server 2 to function as the game service management unit 21. Various data are also recorded in the storage unit 22, but FIG. 4 shows play data 24 and game data 25. The play data 24 is data in which game play contents are stored in order for the user to continue playing the game. The play data 24 is created for each user and is recorded in the storage unit 22 in association with the user identification information. However, FIG. 4 shows only the play data 24 associated with one user identification information. The game data 25 is various data used during the game when the game is executed on the game machine 3. As described above, the game data 25 includes special effect data 25a for professional users, general effect data 25b for general users, and the like.

  The game service management unit 21 provides a predetermined game service to the game machine 3. As the game service, for example, user authentication information (for example, user identification information and password) is received from the game machine 3 to authenticate the user, and play data 24 corresponding to the user is received from the game machine 3 and stored in the storage unit. 22 or a service for providing the user's play data 24 stored in the storage unit 22 to the game machine 3, and software of the game machine 3 (computer program 33 and various data for the game machine 3) are networked. There is a service etc. that is updated through 5. There is also a service for receiving user authentication information from the game machine 3 to authenticate the user and providing game data 25 corresponding to the user to the game machine. The game service management unit 21 is further provided with a matching processing unit 26 and a game management unit 27 as logical devices. The matching processing unit 26 is in charge of processing for matching users who wish to play. The game management unit 27 is in charge of information exchange processing between the game machines 3 of the matched users. The game service management unit 21 is provided with various other processing units, but these are not shown.

  The center server 2 includes a service for providing game information to personal computers and mobile terminal devices possessed by the user, a community service for providing a place for exchange such as information transmission, exchange, and sharing between users. A function to be provided, a charging service function for charging the user of the game machine 3 as a fee for providing a paid service on the game and collecting the fee from the user may be implemented. Description of is omitted.

  Next, the game machine 3 is provided with a game control unit 31 and a storage unit 32 as storage means. The game control unit 31 is a logical device realized by a combination of hardware of the game machine 3 (including a CPU and a memory as an internal storage device thereof) and a computer program 33 as software. The game control unit 31 executes various arithmetic controls necessary for the progress of the game in accordance with information sent from the game management unit 27 of the center server 2 and is provided by the game service management unit 21 of the center server 2. Various processes necessary for enjoying the game service to be performed are executed. The game control unit 31 is further provided with a right granting unit 34, a privilege granting unit 35, and a right stripping unit 36 as logical devices. The right granting unit 34 determines whether or not to grant a right to use the above-described privilege to a general user, and takes charge of processing for granting the right to receive the privilege according to the determination result. The privilege granting unit 35 is in charge of processing to give a privilege, that is, a professional user character, BGM, and effect to a general user who has the right. The right deprivation unit 36 determines whether to deprive a right from a general user who has the right, and is in charge of processing to deprive the right to receive a privilege according to the determination result.

  The storage unit 32 is an external storage device realized by a storage unit including a non-volatile storage medium (computer-readable storage medium) such as a hard disk or a semiconductor storage device. Various data are recorded in the storage unit 32 together with the program 33 described above. FIG. 4 shows play data 24 and game data 25 provided from the center server 2.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the play data 24. In the play data 24, various types of information such as player information, play history, and status are recorded in association with user identification information as information to be referred to by the game control unit 31 of the game machine 3. The player information is information for specifying a nickname used by the user in the game. The play history is log information that records the play results such as the date and time of play, the number of times of play, the play time, and the battle results. The play history also records opponent information such as whether or not the user has played against a professional user. The status is information for identifying a status obtained as a result of the user playing the game, for example, a rating in the user's game such as a rank, a grade, and a level. Information for identifying whether the user is a professional user or a general user is also recorded in the play data 24 as a kind of status.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the description of the control system will be continued. The game machine 3 is provided with various input / output devices such as an input device 37 that outputs a signal corresponding to a user operation, a display device 38 for presenting a game screen 100 to the user, and a card reader 39. The card reader 39 is a device for reading a unique card ID for each card recorded on the card 40 possessed by the user as a kind of identification information to be used for user authentication. Note that the user identification information to be used for user authentication in the game machine 3 may be different from or common to the user identification information to be used for specifying the play data 24. If they are different, the card ID and the ID for specifying the play data 24 may be associated with each other.

  Next, a procedure for granting the right to use a privilege will be described with reference to FIG. The processing of this figure is executed by the right granting unit 34 of the game machine 3 when the matching processing unit 26 completes matching of the users who play the mahjong game together. This process is performed for each matched general user. The right granting unit 34 first determines whether or not it is matched with the professional user Pro in step S1. In addition, what is necessary is just to acquire the information of the matched other party from the matching result by the matching process part 26. FIG. When it determines with having matched with the professional user Pro, it progresses to step S2, and the rights provision part 34 switches a professional production flag to the state of ON. Therefore, the fact that the professional performance flag is ON indicates that the general user has a right to use the privilege. The state of the professional performance flag is recorded in the play data 24. Thereafter, the process of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it determines with not matching with the professional user Pro, it progresses to step S3, and the rights provision part 34 determines whether it matched with the general user whose professional production flag is ON. If it is determined that the professional effect flag has not been matched with the general user who is ON, the processing in FIG. 6 is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the professional effect flag is matched with the general user who is ON, after executing step S2, the process of FIG.

  FIG. 7 shows a procedure for granting a privilege. The process of FIG. 7 is executed by the privilege granting unit 35 before the process by the right granting unit 34 ends and before the mahjong game is started by the game control unit 31 of the game machine 3. Moreover, this process is performed with respect to each matched general user. The privilege granting unit 35 first determines in step S11 whether or not the professional performance flag is ON. If it is determined that the professional performance flag is in the OFF state, the processing in FIG. On the other hand, when it determines with a professional production flag being in the state of ON, it progresses to step S12 and the privilege provision part 35 performs a privilege provision process. In this privilege granting process, the professional server character, BGM, and presentation data may be requested from the center server 2, or these data may be received from the center server 2 in advance as update information. . Then, the game control unit 31 of the game machine 3 executes the mahjong game using these data. Thereafter, the processing of FIG.

  FIG. 8 shows a procedure for taking up the right to use the privilege. The process of FIG. 8 is executed by the right depriving unit 36 when the mahjong game is ended in the game control unit 31 of the game machine 3. This process is performed for each general user who played the game. The right deprivation unit 36 first determines whether or not the rank in the mahjong game is the lowest in step S21. The ranking in the mahjong game may be determined based on information sent from the game management unit 27 or another game machine 3. If it is determined that the rank in the mahjong game is not the lowest order, the processing in FIG. 8 ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ranking in the mahjong game is the lowest, the process proceeds to step S22, and the right deprivation unit 36 switches the professional effect flag to the OFF state. Thereafter, the process of FIG.

  As described above, in the game system 1 of the present invention, the right to use a privilege is given to a general user who is matched with a professional user, and is also given to a general user who is matched with a general user who has the right. The Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the effect of a professional user participating in a game can be quickly diffused to many general users. Therefore, the rights can be granted to more general users than when the rights are given only to the general users matched with the professional users. Thereby, the general user who can enjoy a privilege can be increased.

  Since this right is taken up at the lowest position in the game, it is possible to give a general user the motivation to be ranked first to third in the game.

  In the game system 1, items related to a professional user such as a professional user character, BGM, and production are given as a privilege. Therefore, a general user can easily recognize that a professional user is participating in a game.

  In the above-described form, the professional user Pro and the general users U and Up correspond to a plurality of users of the present invention. The matching processing unit 26 corresponds to the matching means of the present invention. The professional user Pro corresponds to a specific user of the present invention. The general user Up corresponds to a user who has the rights of the present invention. Characters for professional users, BGM, and effects that can be used in the game correspond to the benefits of the present invention. The right granting unit 34 corresponds to the right granting unit of the present invention. The privilege grant part 35 is equivalent to the privilege grant means of this invention. The right removal unit 36 corresponds to the right removal means of the present invention.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described form and can be implemented in various forms. In this embodiment, Mahjong has been described as a game played on the game machine 3, but the game is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to various card games including table games such as poker and blackjack, and board games such as Othello, Go and Shogi. The game machine is not limited to a so-called arcade game machine used for commercial purposes. When a stationary game machine for home use, a portable game machine, a personal computer having versatility, a portable communication terminal (including a mobile phone) and other computer devices are combined with a specific game program to function as a game machine A computer device is also included in the concept of the game machine of the present invention. The specific user in the present invention is not limited to the professional sparrow, but may be a person who is prominent in the mahjong game. That is, the specific user is not necessarily limited to those who are prominent in competitions in the real world. Alternatively, celebrities in the world of cultural entertainment activities, political activities, and economic activities can be set as specific users regardless of whether or not these activities are related to the game.

  The benefits are not limited to professional user characters, BGM, and effects. For example, it may be an item having a collector element, an item that can favorably advance the game, or a wallpaper or application that is not related to the game and that can be used on the user terminal device.

  Moreover, you may change suitably the privilege provided. For example, the privilege may be changed in accordance with the number of times that the general user who has the right is ranked first to third in the mahjong game in the state of having the right. In this case, for example, the professional performance flag may be set to the number of times of 1st to 3rd place instead of ON and OFF. When changing a privilege, “1” is assigned to the professional effect flag when matched with a professional user or a general user who has the right. Thereafter, 1 is added to the professional performance flag every time it is ranked first to third in a state where it has a right. For example, when the professional effect flag is “1”, a normal effect may be given, when “2”, an upper effect, and when “3” or more, a highest effect may be given. In addition, when changing a privilege in this way, the current state of the professional effect flag may be displayed on the game screen 100. For example, when the professional performance flag becomes “1” or more, a heart mark is displayed on the game screen 100, and the size of the displayed heart mark may be increased as the value of the professional performance flag increases.

  In addition, you may change the number of the privilege provided to a user instead of changing a privilege in this way. For example, a professional user character can be used when the professional production flag is “1”, a professional user character and production can be used when the professional production flag is “2”, and a professional user character when the professional production flag is “3”. Characters, effects, and BGM may be used.

  Moreover, you may differ the privilege provided to the general user actually matched with the professional user, and the privilege provided to the general user matched with the general user who has a right. For example, the benefits granted to general users who are actually matched with professional users are changed to be more luxurious than the privileges granted to general users who are matched with the general users who have rights. You may let them. In this case as well, as in the case described above, the right held by the general user may be distinguished by assigning a numerical value to the professional effect flag. For example, “1” is assigned to a professional presentation flag of a general user that is actually matched with a professional user, and “2” is assigned to a professional presentation flag of a general user that is matched with a general user who has rights. do it.

  In the above-described form, the right is taken up at the bottom of the mahjong game, but the condition for taking up the right is not limited to this. For example, a right may be taken from a general user whose score at the end of the mahjong game is a predetermined value (for example, 0 points) or less, or a right may be taken from a general user who has never been raised in the mahjong game.

  Moreover, when the privilege to be granted changes with the number of times of being ranked first to third, the privilege level to be granted may be lowered instead of taking up the right at the lowest level. For example, when the general user who has been given the highest performance as a privilege becomes the lowest, the upper production may be given as a privilege in the next game.

  The grant of the right to use such a privilege may be performed only within a preset period. And when the period passes, the rights may be taken up from all general users. Further, it is possible to ask whether or not to participate in an event that grants a right to a general user, and the right may be granted only to a general user (participating user) who replied to participate in the event. In this case, a general user who does not participate in the event (non-participating user) is granted a privilege only during the game matched with the professional user. In this case, the participating user may be preferentially matched with the professional user as compared with the non-participating user, or the non-participating user and the participating user may be matched with the professional user without being separated.

  Moreover, in the form mentioned above, although it was set as immediately after matching as a timing which provides a privilege, it is not restricted to this example, It can be set as arbitrary timings. For example, a privilege may be given to a general user who has the right at the end of the game, or a privilege may be given to a general user who has the right at the end of the event period Good.

  Moreover, when matching a some user, you may preferentially match the general user who does not have a right with the professional user or the general user who has a right compared with the general user who has a right. By matching in this way, the spread of rights can be further promoted. For this reason, the effect of the professional user participating in the game can be quickly spread to more users.

  When the matching processing unit 26 performs matching, the number of users who have rights among the users participating in the current game and the number of professional users may be displayed on the game screen 100.

  In the embodiment described above, the right granting unit 34, the privilege granting unit 35, and the right stripping unit 36 are provided in the game machine 3, but these may be provided in the center server 2.

  As described above, the game system of the present invention includes a matching unit (for example, the matching processing unit 26 illustrated in FIG. 4) that matches a plurality of users (for example, the pro user Pro, the general user U, and Up), A right granting unit (for example, the right granting unit 34 shown in FIG. 4) for granting a right to receive a privilege to a user (eg, a general user U) matched with a specific user (eg, a pro user Pro), and the right Privilege granting means (for example, the privilege granting unit 35 shown in FIG. 4) that grants the privilege (eg, a professional user character, BGM, and production that can be used in the game) to a user (for example, a general user Up) ), And the right granting unit grants the right to a user matched with the user having the right.

  According to this game system, since a right is also given to a user who is matched with a user who has the right, the effect of a specific user participating in the game can be quickly diffused to many users. In this case, it is possible to grant the rights to more users as compared to the case where the rights are given to the users only when matching with a specific user. Therefore, the number of users who can enjoy the privilege can be increased.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, a rights deprivation means (for example, a rights deprivation unit 36 shown in FIG. 4) takes up the rights from users who do not satisfy a predetermined condition in the results of the game played by the plurality of users. ) May be further provided. In this case, the user can be motivated to play the game so as to satisfy a predetermined condition in the game result.

  For example, the right removal means may pick up the right from the user who was the lowest in the game. In this case, the user tries to play the game so as not to be at the bottom in the game.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, the privilege granting unit changes the privilege to be granted to the user according to the number of times the user having the right satisfies the predetermined condition in the state having the right. Also good. For example, the privilege granting unit may increase the privilege to be given to the user as the number of times that the user having the right satisfies the predetermined condition in the state of having the right increases. Thus, by changing or increasing the benefits, it is possible to give the user the motivation to play the game multiple times.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, the matching means preferentially matches a user who does not have the right with the specific user or the user who has the right as compared with the user who has the right. Also good. In this case, the spread of rights can be further promoted. Therefore, the right can be quickly spread to more users. Therefore, the number of users who can enjoy the privilege can be further increased.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, the privilege granting means provides the user who has the right with an item related to the specific user (for example, a professional user character, BGM, and effect used in the game). ) May be granted as the privilege. Thus, by giving the item relevant to a specific user, a user can be made to recognize easily that this specific user is participating in a game.

  The control method of the present invention includes a computer (eg, the game service management unit 21 of the center server 2 shown in FIG. 4 and the game control unit of the game machine 3) incorporated in a game system (eg, the game system 1 shown in FIG. 4). 31), a matching process (for example, processing executed by the matching processing unit 26 shown in FIG. 4) for matching a plurality of users (for example, professional user Pro, general user U, Up), and a specific user (for example, A right granting step (for example, steps S1 and S2 in FIG. 6) for granting a right to receive a privilege to a user (for example, a general user U) matched with a professional user Pro), and the privilege (for example, to the user having the right) , A privilege granting process (for example, the process shown in FIG. 7) that provides professional user characters, BGM, and effects that can be used in the game.
