[Process flow]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of game processing in the present embodiment. In FIG. 9, processing on the game terminal 2000 is shown on the left side, and processing on the game server 1000 is shown on the right side. This process is executed for one game terminal 2000, and the game server 1000 executes the same process in parallel for all the game terminals 2000.

  First, the game terminal 2000 accesses the game server 1000 to make a login request (step A1). Then, in the game server 1000, in response to the login request from the game terminal 2000, the player registration management unit 210 performs player authentication by checking the player name, password, and the like to confirm whether the player is registered ( Step B1). When player authentication is performed, the game progress control unit 220 starts game control in the game terminal 2000 (steps A3 and B3).

  In the game terminal 2000, if the player is instructed to create a music reproduction list during the game (step A5: YES), the game terminal 2000 requests the game server 1000 to create a music reproduction list (step A7). Then, in the game server 1000, in response to the creation request from the game terminal 2000, the music reproduction list creation unit 222 creates a music reproduction list in accordance with the instructions of the player (step B5).

  When the music playback list is created, the game terminal 2000 plays back the music according to the created music playback list. That is, a DL request is made to the game server 1000 for music data to be reproduced next, which is determined by the music reproduction list (step A9). Then, in the game server 1000, the music reproduction management unit 223 confirms that the reproduction right of the requested music is granted to the player with reference to the music reproduction right data 350, and then the music data is stored in the game terminal. It transmits to 2000 (step B7).

  Then, the game terminal 2000 receives the music data (DL) and starts reproducing the music data (step A11). At this time, the game terminal 2000 transmits a reproduction start notification to the game server 1000 together with the identification information of the music piece that has been reproduced (step A13). When the game server 1000 receives this playback start notification, the music playback effect activation control unit 224 determines whether or not the music playback effect activation condition is satisfied in the game being executed on the game terminal 2000, and detects that it is satisfied. Then (step B9: YES), in the game being executed, the effect associated with the satisfied activation condition is activated (step B11).

  Further, when the music terminal 2000 finishes reproducing the music (step A15), the game terminal 2000 transmits a reproduction end notification to the game server 1000 together with the identification information of the music (step A17). In the game server 1000, when the reproduction end notification is received, the music reproduction effect activation control unit 224 determines whether or not an effect corresponding to the activation condition satisfied by the musical composition for which the reproduction has been completed is activated. If so, the activated effect is terminated (step B13).

  Further, in the game server 1000, when the playback right grant management unit 221 determines whether or not the play right grant condition is satisfied in the game being executed on the game terminal 2000, and detects that the play right grant condition is satisfied (step B15: YES), The player is given the right to play the music associated with the given grant condition (step B17).

  Subsequently, in the game server 1000, the game progress control unit 220 determines whether or not the game end condition is satisfied, and if the end condition is not satisfied (step B19: NO), the process returns to step B3 and the same processing is performed. repeat. If the end condition is satisfied (step B19: YES), after the game control in the game terminal 2000 is ended, a predetermined logout process is performed (steps A21 and B21), and this game process is ended.

[Function and effect]
In the present embodiment, the music held by each player is managed not by music data but by the reproduction right of the music. Therefore, even if the player uses a smartphone or a personal computer as the game terminal 2000, the player can enjoy the music held by the player together with the game. In addition, since the progress of the game is changed and controlled according to the music held by the player, it is possible to realize a new way of enjoying the game suitable for the form in which the music is sold, distributed, and used as digital data.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in a game executed on the game terminal 2000, when a predetermined grant condition accompanying the game progress is satisfied, a music reproduction right according to the satisfied condition is granted. When the music to which the playback right is given is played during the game, the player has an advantageous effect on the progress of the game while the current game situation and the activation condition that is a combination of the music being played are satisfied. Activate.

  Thereby, the player can arbitrarily select and play the music he / she wants to listen to during game play, and change the player character's ability parameter (for example, increase of attack power) according to the music being played. Since the game progress control is changed, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

[Modification]
It should be noted that embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can of course be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

(A) Configuration of Game System For example, a game system may be configured as follows.

(A-1)
As shown in FIG. 10, a music management server 1200 that manages the music DB 330 may be provided separately from the game server 1000. In this case, the game server 1000 refers to the music reproduction right data 350 and permits the music management server 1200 to download the music data from the music management server 1200 to the game terminal 2000 for the music for which the reproduction right is given to the game terminal 2000. And the reproduction | regeneration of the music in the game terminal 2000 is implement | achieved by downloading music data from the music management server 1200. FIG.

(A-2)
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 11, a music sales server 1300 may be provided separately from the game server 1000. In this case, the game terminal 2000 acquires the music data from the music sales server 1300 together with the music reproduction right or by purchasing only the music reproduction right, and manages the music reproduction right in its own device. That is, the game terminal 2000 is configured to have music reproduction right data 350 that is a reproduction right management DB. When the game terminal 2000 acquires and manages music data together with the music playback right, the music playback can be executed by the game terminal 2000 alone. In the case of acquiring and managing only the reproduction right of the music, when the music is played, the music data is received from the music sales server 1300 (in this case, the music management server 1200) and played. Then, the game server 1000 acquires from the game terminal 2000 the identification information of the music being played on the game terminal 2000 during the game, and determines whether or not the music playback effect activation condition is satisfied based on the acquired identification information. .

  In this case, the player can acquire the music (more specifically, the right to play the music) other than when the game progress condition satisfies the predetermined grant condition, but there is no problem. That is, as in the form of FIG. 11, the player may be able to acquire the music (more specifically, the right to play the music) by any method other than when the game progress condition satisfies the predetermined grant condition. .

(B) Reproduction of music In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that reproduction of music on the game terminal 2000 is realized by streaming delivery from the game server 1000. However, music data (music file) itself is downloaded. Also good. The same applies to the configurations of FIGS. 10 and 11.

(C) Music reproduction effect activation condition In the above-described embodiment, the music reproduction effect activation condition is a combination of the conditions relating to the current game situation and the music being reproduced. It is good. Further, the condition relating to the music does not need to be the music being played back, and may be based on whether or not the right to play the music is held. In this case, it is a condition that the music is substantially held even if it is not reproduced.

  Also, the music being played, which is one of the constituent elements of the music playback effect activation condition, may be the type (genre) of the music being played such as pops, pop songs, rocks, and the like. In this case, in the music DB 330, one or more types (genres) must be set in association with each music. Then, the type (genre) of the music is set instead of the music ID as the activation condition 361 of the music reproduction effect table 360 in FIG. In this way, the activation condition 361 is set under the condition of the combination of the game situation and the type of music (genre). Of course, the condition of the game situation may be omitted as the activation condition 361 and the type (genre) of the music may be used.

(D) Friends In addition, social games, which are online games provided on the social networking service (SNS) and in which a plurality of players participate, have a function of registering other players as “friends”. It has been. This function may be applied to this embodiment. For example, the progress control of the game may be changed according to the reproduction right of the music that the friend has. Specifically, the player management data 320 manages a friend list that is a list of other players registered as friends by the player. Then, while a “special activation condition” that is a combination of the game situation and the friend condition regarding the reproduction right of the music held by the friend is satisfied, the player is given (activated) with a given effect. FIG. 12 shows an example of the data structure of a special effect table that defines the special activation conditions and the effects to be activated. Furthermore, when all of the friends have the right to play a specific song or when the number of friends who have the right to play a specific song reaches a predetermined number, it is determined that the special activation condition is satisfied. A given effect may be given (activated) to the player.
