The user terminal 100 may be provided with an input / output IF 14 to which a display (display unit) configured separately from the user terminal 100 main body can be connected instead of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be communicable with one or more controllers 1020. The controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 according to a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons or the like, and transmits an output value based on a user's input operation to the buttons or the like to the user terminal 100. Further, the controller 1020 may have various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and transmits the output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

In addition, instead of or in addition to the user terminal 100 including the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the controller 1020 may have the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

For example, at the start of a game, it is desirable that the user terminal 100 causes a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as the user's name or login ID via the controller 1020. As a result, the user terminal 100 can associate the controller 1020 with the user, and identifies which user the output value belongs to based on the source of the received output value (controller 1020). be able to.

When the user terminal 100 communicates with a plurality of controllers 1020, each user grips each controller 1020, so that the one user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2. Multiplayer can be realized with. In addition, each user terminal 100 communicates with each other according to a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (communication connection is made without going through a server 200), thereby realizing local multiplayer with a plurality of user terminals 100. You can also do it. When the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions described later described in the server 200. Further, when the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally by a plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions described later described in the server 200 in a distributed manner.

Even when the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally, the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200. For example, information indicating a play result such as a result or victory or defeat in a certain game may be associated with user identification information and transmitted to the server 200.

Further, the controller 1020 may be configured to be detachable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a coupling portion with the controller 1020 may be provided on at least one surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are connected by wire via the coupling portion, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 transmit and receive signals via wire.

As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may accept the attachment of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input / output IF14. As a result, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded on the storage medium 1030. The program recorded on the storage medium 1030 is, for example, a game program.

The user terminal 100 may store the game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as the server 200 in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100, or may store the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 in the memory 11. You may memorize it in.

As described above, the user terminal 100 includes a communication IF 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15, a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. Each of the above-mentioned parts as an input mechanism can be regarded as an operation part configured to accept a user's input operation.

For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, a user's hand as an object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and an input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. To. More specifically, when the user's hand is detected from the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 inputs a gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image. Identify and accept as. The captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

Alternatively, when the operation unit is composed of the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts the user's operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is composed of the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts a signal (for example, an output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as an input operation of the user. Alternatively, when the operation unit is composed of the input / output IF14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input / output IF14 is specified and accepted as a user input operation.

<Hardware components of each device>
The processor 10 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the operation of the entire server 200. Processors 10 and 20 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

The processor 10 reads a program from the storage 12 described later and expands it into the memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from the storage 22 described later and expands it into the memory 21 described later. Processor 10 and processor 20 execute the expanded program.

The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are composed of a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read from the storage 12 described later by the processor 10. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to the program. The memory 21 provides a work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read from the storage 22 described later by the processor 20. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to the program.

In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game in collaboration with the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game realized by the collaboration between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be, for example, a game executed on a browser started on the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game in collaboration with a plurality of user terminals 100. Further, the various data include data related to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications to be transmitted / received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

Storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are composed of a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data related to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

The communication IF 13 controls the transmission / reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls the transmission and reception of various data on the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, communication via a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), Internet communication via a wired LAN, wireless LAN, or mobile phone network, and communication using short-range wireless communication.

The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive data input, and an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data.
The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like of the user terminal 100. The input / output IF24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input, and an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines an input unit 151 and a display unit 152. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is composed of, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like.

The input unit 151 detects a position where a user's operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input to the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has a function to transmit as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method.

Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, or the like. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can also specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, the processor 10 may be a vertical screen display in which a vertically long image is displayed on the display unit 152 when the user terminal 100 is held vertically. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held horizontally, it may be a horizontal screen display in which a horizontally long image is displayed on the display unit. In this way, the processor 10 may be able to switch between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and generates a captured image by converting the incident light incident from the lens into an electric signal.

The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the object to be measured. The ranging sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement target by the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated by the light emitted from the light source being reflected by the measurement target. The distance measuring sensor 18 may have a light source that emits light having directivity.

Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives the detection result of detecting the object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 by using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an input operation of the user will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100, for example. A ranging sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device that irradiates infrared rays, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. As a result, the accuracy of detecting an object based on the captured image of the camera 17 can be further improved regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

The processor 10 may perform one or more of the processes shown in the following (1) to (5), for example, on the captured image of the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to identify whether or not the captured image includes a user's hand. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique adopted in the above-mentioned image recognition process. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 specifies, for example, the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies the gesture performed by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a "par" gesture when the number of fingers is five. Further, when the number of fingers is 0 (the fingers are not detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “goo” gesture. Further, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a "choki" gesture. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the index finger is raised or the user's finger is repelled. .. (4) The processor 10 is an object 1010 (user's hand or the like) in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far away (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand specified from the image captured by the camera 17. Detect whether it is at the above distance). When the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) When it is found that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand is changing while the user's hand is detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, the processor 10 recognizes that the user is waving his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is detected or not detected by the distance measuring sensor 18 having a stronger directivity than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 determines that the user is waving his hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

In this way, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is holding a hand (whether it is a “goo” gesture or another gesture (for example, “par”) by recognizing an image captured by the camera 17. ) Is detected. In addition, the processor 10 detects the shape of the user's hand and how the user is moving the hand. In addition, the processor 10 detects whether the user is approaching or moving this hand toward or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel, for example. For example, the user terminal 100 moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture “goo”. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. Continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining the state in which the mouse is clicked and pressed, or maintaining the touched state after the touchdown operation is performed on the touch panel. Further, when the user moves his / her hand while the user's gesture "goo" is detected, the user terminal 100 performs such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to a swipe operation (or a drag operation). It can also be recognized. Further, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that the user flips a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand by the image captured by the camera 17, the gesture is clicked by the mouse or tapped on the touch panel. It may be recognized as an operation corresponding to.

The input operation receiving unit 112 determines what kind of input operation has been performed from the action exerted by the user on the console via the touch screen 15 and other input / output IF14, and outputs the result to each element of the control unit 110. Output.

For example, the input operation receiving unit 112 detects the coordinates of the input position and the type of operation when an input operation is performed on the input unit 151. For example, the input operation receiving unit 112 detects a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, and the like. The input operation receiving unit 112 detects that the contact input is released from the touch screen 15 when the continuously detected input is interrupted.

The game progress processing unit 111 performs various processes related to the progress of the game. For example, the game progress processing unit 111 interprets the user's instruction content indicated by the coordinates of the input position of the input operation received by the input operation reception unit 112 and the type of operation. For example, the game progress processing unit 111 adds, updates, or deletes the game information 122 or the user information 123. For example, the game progress processing unit 111 performs various determination processes related to the progress of the game.

The camera arrangement control unit 113 defines a virtual camera for designating an area to be presented to the user in the game space. The camera arrangement control unit 113 virtually arranges the virtual camera in the game space by defining the position and orientation of the virtual camera in the game space. Further, the camera arrangement control unit 113 instructs the display control unit 114 to create an image in which the visual field area defined by the virtual camera and the objects arranged in the visual field area are drawn.

The camera arrangement control unit 113 may appropriately determine the position and orientation of the virtual camera for each game space. For example, the camera arrangement control unit 113 sets the virtual camera in a certain direction, distance, and angle from the object so that the object appears in the center of the field of view in the specific direction based on the position and orientation of the object. It may be arranged. The specific object may be, for example, an object of the operation character on the user terminal 100, a dynamic object indicating another character such as a non-player character, or a building, a tree, a stone, or the like. It may be a static object. Here, the dynamic objects in the game space include characters that operate based on the game programs 121 and 221 (for example, non-player characters, enemy characters, etc.) and operation characters that operate based on operations by the user. ..

The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 152 to display an image. For example, the display control unit 114 generates an image in which an area of the field of view of the virtual camera defined by the camera arrangement control unit 113 and an object existing in the area are drawn in the game space, and the display unit 152 displays the image. .. Further, the display control unit 114 may superimpose and draw an object related to a UI (user interface) necessary for various operations of the game, such as an icon, a button, and a menu showing various parameters, on such an image. ..

The object control unit 115 arranges the object in the game space based on the setting information of the object included in the game information 122. The object control unit 115 controls the objects arranged in the game space. For example, the object control unit 115 changes the position, orientation, shape, color, and the like of the object in the game space, and causes the object to perform a predetermined series of operations.

The game system 1 may be configured so that the server 200 includes at least a part of the functions provided by the user terminal 100. The game system 1 may be configured so that the user terminal 100 includes at least a part of the functions provided by the server 200. Further, devices other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be used as components of the game system 1, and the hardware may be made to execute a part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game programs 121 and 221 in this embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices.

<Overview of Mahjong game>
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment provides a game in which a privilege (for example, a score or the like) is given by the establishment of any of a plurality of predetermined combinations (achievement conditions). As a type of game, a mahjong game in which a character 1 operated by a user (player) 1 can play against three characters 2 to 4 operated by three other users 2 to 4 is exemplified.

In the mahjong game, one tile (identification information) is drawn for each character from a pile of 136 tiles (arrangement of identification information) piled up on the mahjong table in the room, and 14 to 18 hand tiles (corresponding). Aim to establish a role consisting of a combination of tiles owned by the character. In mahjong, technical terms such as house (own or other house), naki, bleaching, dora (front dora), and back dora are used. Here, the house means a character, the home means the character 1 operated by the user 1 or the user 1, and the other house means the characters 2 to 4 or the characters 2 to 4 operated by the users 2 to 4. means. Furthermore, Naki is a general term for Pong, Qi, and Kang (Daimei, Dark, and Naki), and "Naki" is synonymous with "squeal." Also, exposing means showing the tile pattern to other characters.

Furthermore, the next-ranked tile of the Dora display tile placed at a specific position in the upper part of the tile mountain becomes the Dora, and the next-order tile of the back Dora display tile in the lower part of the Dora display tile becomes the back Dora. Both Dora and Ura Dora are specific tiles that lead to the addition of points when the game is completed. However, the back dora is presented when the user reaches up.

In this embodiment, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the user and the character operated by the user. Therefore, the description described in relation to the character is substantially the same as the description described in relation to the user, and the character can be appropriately replaced by the user.

(Function of user terminal 100)
In the present embodiment, the processor 10 of the user terminal 100 transmits the user ID to the server 200 via the communication IF 13, and the objects (character, tile skill, tile skill, tile, tile, tile) associated with the user ID are transmitted. Information about tiles, discarded tiles, etc.) is received from the server 200. Further, the processor 10 arranges the tiles on the mahjong table based on the user's input operation on the touch screen 15, and calculates the game points (point sticks) based on the result of the game. The processor 10 gives the calculated game points to the user and transmits the calculated game points to the server 200 via the communication IF 13.

The processor 10 defines the time in the mahjong room and measures the passage of time in the mahjong room. The processor 10 stores, for example, the time when the tiles are picked up in the memory 11, and measures the time elapsed thereafter. The processor 10 can determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the current Tsumo based on the time information obtained by the measurement.

The processor 10 generates an image displayed on the display unit 152 based on the user information received from the server 200, the calculation result by the game program, and the action on the user's input unit 151. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 100 is a game that changes every moment from the start to the end of a game such as tiles, tiles, tiles, discard tiles, pong, chi, can, long tiles, tiles, and tiles. Information is acquired from the server 200, and an image of the game screen is generated using this information. It should be noted that these game information may also be stored on the user terminal 100 side. The processor 10 updates the displayed image according to the game progress control.

The communication IF 13 receives various information from the server 200 and transmits various information to the server 200. The communication IF 13 transmits various information to the server 200 under the control of the processor 10. The server 200 receives the information via the network 2 and the communication IF 23, and the processor 20 identifies and accepts the content of the information. The processor 20 may, for example, have a game program that can be operated on the user terminal 100, user information, game space information such as a game screen, a tile of the own user, a tile, a tile of another user, a pong by another user, and the like. It is possible to receive game information such as Qi, Kang, Rong Rise, and Tsumo Rise from the user terminal 100. Note that these pieces of information may also be stored on the user terminal 100 side. On the other hand, the processor 10 can transmit the user information, the discard tile of the own user, the game information by the own user such as Pong, Qi, Kang, Ron Rise, and Tsumo Rise to the server 200.

The memory 11 stores data necessary for the processor 10 to function as each of the above-mentioned parts. The data includes, for example, a game program, game information, and user information. Examples of game information include an object management table and the like. Examples of user information include user management tables and the like.

In the present embodiment, any one of the four users creates a room as a host, and the remaining three users enter the room as guests to form a party surrounding the mahjong table. Further, in the present embodiment, the four users forming the party compete for victory or defeat in a half-village battle.

The game program is composed of an operating character side program that advances the mahjong game from the standpoint of the operating character, and an administrator side program that manages the mahjong game from the standpoint of the administrator. Of these, the operation character side program is executed by the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each of the users 1 to 4, and the administrator side program is executed by the processor 10 of the user terminal 100 operated by the user acting as the host. Will be done.

In the memory 11 of the user terminal 100 operated by each of the users 1 to 4, the distribution skill management table 301 shown in FIG. 4A and the Tsumo skill management table shown in FIG. 4B are used as information used for the mahjong game. 302 is stored. Further, in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100 operated by the user acting as the host, the remaining time management table 303 shown in FIG. 5A and the skill point recovery amount management table 304 shown in FIG. 5B are stored. Will be done.

(Function of server 200)
In the present embodiment, this game program is a program that causes the server 200 to function in order to advance the mahjong game, and also includes the above-mentioned administrator-side program that manages the mahjong game from the standpoint of the administrator. The processor 20 refers to various management tables stored in the memory 21. The processor 20 refers to various management tables updated as necessary and executes necessary processing. The information includes tile information for identifying the combination of tiles distributed to each user, tile mountain information for identifying the tiles remaining after the tiles, and information such as pong, chi, and can by each user. included. Further, the processor 20 includes a game program that can be operated on the user terminal 100, user information, game space information such as a game screen, distribution of each user, tiles, abandoned tiles of each user, and pongs and chis by each user. Game information such as can, long tiles, and tiles is transmitted to the user terminal 100.

For example, when the user acts on the user terminal 100 to expose the tiles to the mahjong table, the processor 20 receives the object information and the game point information held by the user from the user terminal 100 as a result. The processor 20 executes necessary processing based on the received information, and updates the user information and the game information. Further, for example, when a request for executing a discard tile is received from the user terminal 100, the processor 20 uses the user information, the arrangement position of the discard tile, and the tile in which the discard tile is cut off. It is stored in association with the game information regarding whether the tile is a handed tile or not.

The processor 20 associates a plurality of users with a predetermined game space. For example, when a user performs an operation to create a room as a host, the processor 20 matches a party in which the user is the host and three users out of a plurality of users who have performed an operation desired to play a game are guests. To temporarily associate four users belonging to the party with the same mahjong room. The information of the host user who created the room and the guest user who entered the room is stored in association with the game information.

Like the processor 10, the processor 20 has a function of defining the time in the mahjong room and measuring the time in the mahjong room. The processor 20 measures, for example, the elapsed time from the time when the screen for selecting the skill to be activated at the start of the game is displayed. The processor 20 generates time information of the mahjong room and collates it with the time information of the mahjong room generated by the processor 10. As a result, the time information of the mahjong room is synchronized between the user terminal 100 and the server 200, and various time information can be smoothly measured and determined.

A game program, a user authentication program, and the like are stored in the memory 21. Further, in the memory 21, a database for managing user information such as a user management table and game information such as an object management table may be constructed. The memory 21 has the distribution skill management table 301 shown in FIG. 4 (A), the Tsumo skill management table 302 shown in FIG. 4 (B), the remaining time management table 303 shown in FIG. 5 (A), and FIG. The skill point recovery amount management table 304 shown in (B) may be provided.

(Distribution skill management table)
With reference to FIG. 4A, the distribution skill management table 301 manages the details of the distribution skills that can be activated at the start of the game and the conditions for activating the distribution skills, and also manages the distribution skills. It manages the amount of skill points (SP consumption) consumed when the skill is activated. The tile distribution skill is a skill for advancing the mahjong game in the user's advantage by increasing the user's advantage in the combination of tiles at the start of the game, and is a skill for the user to advance the mahjong game in an advantageous manner. The tile master, Tanyao master, Sangen maker, etc. are set as the tile distribution skill.

Each of the four users 1 to 4 who play the game is associated with the distribution skill of any one of the distribution skills on the distribution skill management table 301. When the distribution skill is activated for any of the users, the amount of SP points consumed corresponding to the distribution skill is consumed from the skill points associated with the user. The degree of advantage of the user regarding the establishment of the winning combination is increased by activating the distribution skill.

The distribution skills associated with each of the users 1 to 4 are selected, for example, by a random number lottery. Further, the initial value of the skill points associated with each of the users 1 to 4 (the amount of points at the start of the half-village battle) is set to, for example, 250 points. However, the distribution skill and the amount of points according to the type of character operated by the user may be associated with the user. Some of these distribution skills will be described below.

Tsutsuko Master is a skill that includes eight or more Tsutsuko in the distribution. The skill activation condition is established in a game in which the user associated with the skill becomes the Nishiya, and the skill is activated by consuming 20 skill points associated with the user. The cord master is a skill that includes eight or more cords in the arrangement. The skill activation condition is established in a game or 3 stations in which the user associated with the skill is the eastern family, and the skill is activated by consuming 30 skill points associated with the user. Manko Master is a skill that includes eight or more Manko in the distribution. The skill activation condition is established in the game that the user with whom the skill is associated has the lowest rank, and the skill is activated by consuming 20 skill points associated with the user.

In addition, although the skill activation condition and the consumption SP in FIG. 4A have been described as an example in which the skill is predetermined, the user is not limited to this, and even if the skill is the same, the user associated with the skill. At least one of the skill activation condition and the SP consumption may be different depending on the type of character operated by.

(Tsumo skill management table)
With reference to FIG. 4B, the Tsumo skill management table 302 manages the details of the Tsumo skill that can be activated during the game and the conditions for activating the Tsumo skill, and is consumed in association with the activation of the Tsumo skill. Manage the amount of skill points (SP consumption). Tsumo skill is a skill to advance the mahjong game in favor of the user by increasing the degree of advantage of the user regarding the pulling of the tiles during the game, and the angry surikae, enthusiastic, and Tanyao chuu are the Tsumo skills. Is set as.

Each of the users 1 to 4 is associated with any two of the Tsumo skills on the Tsumo skill management table 302. When the Tsumo skill is activated by any user, the point amount of the SP consumed corresponding to the Tsumo skill is consumed from the skill points associated with the user.

The Tsumo skills associated with each of the users 1 to 4 are selected, for example, by a random number lottery. However, the Tsumo skill according to the type of character operated by the user may be associated with the user. Some of these Tsumo skills are explained below.

Raging Surikae is a skill that can be replaced with the next tile of Mt. Tile if you don't like the tile. The condition for activating the skill of the angry surikae is satisfied when the user's ranking is 2nd or lower and the number of chanten of the user's Tehai is 3 or less. When the user activates the angry tiles after the tiles have been picked up, the tiles placed at the specified positions on the tiles and the tiles are replaced, and the tiles placed at the specified positions become new tiles. Provided to the user. In addition, the angry surikae is activated by consuming 30 skill points associated with the user.

In addition, chanten is a term indicating how many times the tenpai can be done at the shortest. Specifically, the state of a hand tenpai that can be tempered with a minimum of 3 times is called 3 chanten, and the state of a hand tenpai that can be tempered with a minimum of 2 times is called 2 chanten. For this reason, the number of chanten decreases as the winning combination approaches, and the decrease in the number of chanten is called increasing the number of chanten.

Enthusiasm is a skill that ensures that the back dora rides. The condition for activating the skill to activate the spirit is established when the self reaches and finishes. When the user activates the mortuary tile, the arrangement of the tiles in the tile mountain is reset so that the tile included in the user's hand tile at the end of the game is presented as the next tile. .. In addition, the spiriting is activated by consuming 30 skill points associated with the character operated by the user.

As the Tsumo skill, various skills such as a skill to replace a tile with a discarded tile and a skill to notify information advantageous to one's own based on the history of another family's hand tile or discarded tile may be provided. .. Further, the skill activation condition and the consumption SP in FIG. 4B have been described as an example in which the skill is predetermined, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the skill is the same, the user to whom the skill is associated. At least one of the skill activation condition and the SP consumption may be different depending on the type of character operated by.

<Game overview>
In a mahjong game, if it takes a long time for the user to throw away the tiles, the overall game progress may be stagnant, which may reduce the taste of the game. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the time required for the user to discard the tiles in the current game is specified, and the shorter the time, the greater the amount of skill points recovered associated with the user in the next game. There is. As a result, the user who quickly performs the discarding operation can activate more skills in the next game, and as a result, the degree of advantage regarding skill activation is increased. The user is encouraged to proceed with the game promptly in order to increase the degree of advantage, and as a result, it is possible to enhance the preference of the mahjong game. The time required for the discarding operation is specified by the remaining time management table 303 shown in FIG. 5 (A). The skill point recovery amount is managed by the skill point recovery amount management table 304 shown in FIG. 5 (B).

(Remaining time management table)
With reference to FIG. 5A, the remaining time management table 303 manages the time remaining when each of the plurality of games constituting the half-village battle is completed for each of the users 1 to 4. .. The time to start each game is set to an initial value (for example, 30 seconds) for each user. The time you have is the time when you can operate the tiles when it is your turn to pick up the tiles, and the time when the tiles that you can dew are thrown away by another house. This is the time during which the tiles can be thrown away, or the time during which the tiles that can be dewed by oneself can be dewed when the tiles that can be dewed by oneself are thrown away by another family.

However, the holding time does not decrease until a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses after the discarding operation or the see-off operation becomes possible. Therefore, the user can think about how to proceed with the game by using the predetermined time.

The time is set according to the passage of time after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has passed since the turn of the tiles to be picked up by the tiles, or the tiles that can be dewed by the tiles are thrown away by another family. It decreases with the passage of time after the predetermined time has elapsed. For example, if 5 seconds have passed from the time when the player's turn to pick up the tiles to the time when the player performs the discarding tile operation, the time of the player's own time is reduced by 2 seconds. In addition, if 7 seconds have passed from the time when the tiles that can be dewed by one's own house are thrown away by another house until the tiles that can be thrown away by the own house go through the dew and the tiles are thrown away, the time of the own house is 4 seconds. Decrease. Furthermore, if 5 seconds have passed from the time when the tiles that can be dewed by the house are thrown away by another house until the house performs the operation of seeing off the naki, the time of the house is reduced by 3 seconds. ..

It should be noted that the length of the predetermined time may be different between the scene where the tile is picked up by one's own house and the scene where the tile that can be dewed by one's own house is thrown away by another house. For example, it may be set to 3 seconds when the tiles are picked up by the self, and 5 seconds when the tiles that can be dewed by the self are thrown away by another house.

If the holding time is 0 seconds and the tiles are not thrown away before the specified time elapses after the tile is picked up by the player, a predetermined tile (for example, a tile or a hand tile) is leftmost. The tiles, etc.) are forcibly thrown away. In addition, when the time is 0 seconds, the tiles that can be dewed by the other house are thrown away by another house, and even though the house declares the dew, the specified time has passed since the tiles were thrown away by the other house. If the player does not perform the discarding tile operation until the lapse of time, the rightmost tile of the own hand tile is forcibly discarded. Furthermore, when the time is 0 seconds, if the player does not declare the naki until a predetermined time has passed after the tiles that can be dewed are thrown away by another house, the operation to forgo the naki is performed. It is considered to have been done.

In the present embodiment, the user uniformly displays an inquiry window asking the user whether or not to declare naki when a tile that can be dewed by the user is thrown away by another house. , You can select either of the second mode that does not display the inquiry window at all. When the second mode is selected, the time will decrease with the passage of time after the turn of the tiles to be picked up by the player, but the time after the tiles that can be dewed by the player are discarded by another house. It does not decrease over time. Which of the first mode and the second mode is selected is specified based on the game information stored in the user terminal 100 of the user. Further, in the present embodiment, when a tile capable of declaring Ron is thrown away by another family, an inquiry window asking the user whether to declare Ron is displayed. The tiles that can declare Ron are excluded from the tiles that can be dewed. Therefore, even when the second mode is selected, when another family discards a tile that can declare Ron, an inquiry window as to whether or not to Ron is displayed.

When the current game is completed, the remaining time of users 1 to 4 at that time is registered in the remaining time management table 303 as the remaining time. For example, if the remaining time of the user 1 when the first station ends is 18 seconds, 18 seconds is registered in the remaining time management table 303 as the remaining time of the user 1 in the first station. ..

When the half-village battle is over, the remaining time control corresponding to each of the plurality of games constituting the half-village battle is specified from the remaining time control table 303. The remaining time is added up for each user, and a reward (a privilege different from the degree of advantage regarding skill activation) according to the total time specified by this is given to each of the users 1 to 4. That is, a reward according to the total time of the remaining time specified for the user 1 is given to the user 1, a reward according to the total time of the remaining time specified for the user 2 is given to the user 2, and the user 3 is given a reward. The user 3 is given a reward according to the total time of the remaining time specified for the user 4, and the user 4 is given a reward according to the total time of the remaining time specified for the user 4. The value of the reward increases as the total time increases.

The reward includes, for example, a special distribution skill or Tsumo skill associated with the user in the next and subsequent half-village battles, and additional skill points associated with the user in the next and subsequent half-village battles.

The special distribution skill or Tsumo skill is a skill that does not exist in the distribution skill management table 301 or the Tsumo skill management table 302 in the initial state, and when the user is given the special distribution skill or Tsumo skill, the special distribution skill or Tsumo skill is given. It is added to the distribution skill management table 301 or the Tsumo skill management table 302 of the user. If the reward given to the user is 50 skill points, the initial value of the skill points associated with the user is 300 points. The reward may be valid indefinitely in the next and subsequent half-village battles, or may be valid only in a predetermined number of half-village battles after the next time.

(Skill point recovery amount management table)
With reference to FIG. 5B, the skill point recovery amount management table 304 sets the recovery amount different according to the remaining time of each of the users 1 to 4 at the end of this game, and the skill points of each of the users 1 to 4. It is managed as the amount of recovery. In the next game, skill points recovered (added) by the amount of recovery with respect to the current value (the amount of skill points of the user remaining at the end of this game) are associated with the user. The degree of advantage of the user regarding skill activation in the next game, that is, the degree of advantage of the user regarding the establishment of a combination becomes higher as the skill points of the user are restored.

Here, the amount of recovery of skill points increases as the remaining time of the user increases, that is, the time it takes for the user to perform the discarding operation becomes shorter. Specifically, when the remaining time of the user is 21 to 30 seconds, the skill points are restored to the initial value of 250 points. Further, when the remaining time of the user is 16 to 20 seconds, the skill point recovers to 150% of the current value up to the initial value. Further, when the remaining time of the user is 11 to 15 seconds, the skill point recovers to 130% of the current value up to the initial value. Further, when the remaining time of the user is 0 to 10 seconds, the skill point recovers to 110% of the current value up to the initial value. In the next game, the skill points thus recovered will be associated with the user.

For example, if the time and skill points of user 1 remaining when the first station ends are 18 seconds and 120 points, respectively, the skill points of user 1 are 180 points because the skill points are restored to 150% of the current value. After recovery, the skill points after recovery are associated with user 1 in the second station.

As shown in the skill point recovery amount management table 304, the recovery amount is set for each stage such as 21 seconds to 30 seconds, 16 seconds to 20 seconds, 11 seconds to 15 seconds, and 0 seconds to 10 seconds. However, the amount of recovery is not limited to this, and the amount of recovery may be determined every second of the holding time.

(Game screen)
When the game is started, for example, the game screen shown in FIG. 6A is displayed on the touch screen 15. According to FIG. 6A, the mahjong table is displayed from the viewpoint (obliquely above) of the player in the upper center of the game screen. In the center of the mahjong table, a river area RV for displaying the abandoned tiles of one's own house and another house is assigned, and below the river area RV, a hand tile area HA for displaying one's own hand tiles. Is assigned. Below the Tehai area HA, the Tsumo skill area TA for displaying the Tsumo skill icon corresponding to the Tsumo skill associated with the home is assigned. Between the Tehai area HA and the Tsumo skill area TA, there is a time gauge TG to make it possible to specify the time you have in this game, and to make it possible to specify the skill points that you can consume in this game. Point gauge PG and is displayed.

If the skill points that can be consumed by the self are equal to or greater than the SP consumption of the distribution skill associated with the self, and the conditions for activating the distribution skill are satisfied, the skill points correspond to the SP consumption. The amount of points is consumed, and the distribution skill is activated. As a result, the distribution corresponding to the distribution skill is displayed in the hand distribution area HA.

As the game progresses and it is your turn, the tiles will be displayed at the right end of the hand tile area HA. In addition, when the first mode is selected, a predetermined condition (for example, the abandoned tile of another house and the hand tile of one's own house) can be used as an engraving or a tile between the tile discarded by another house and the hand tile of one's own house. When the condition that is satisfied by the composition, or the condition that is satisfied by the condition that the Junko is composed of the abandoned tile of the upper family and the hand tile of the own house) is satisfied, an inquiry window for inquiring whether or not to make a side dew is opened. It is displayed on the touch screen 15. When the user performs an operation to declare naki, the inquiry window is hidden and the naki tiles (for example, the three tiles that make up the engraving) are exposed and displayed in the upper right corner of the hand tile area HA. ..

If any of the tiles in the hand tile area HA is touched after the tile or naki tile is displayed, the guide frame GF is displayed on the touch screen 15 and the touched tile is on the river area RV side. It is enlarged and displayed in. That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), when the Ichiman tile is touched, the tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touch position. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, when a single-cylinder tile is touched, the tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touched position. When the user moves the touch position to the river area RV side, it is considered that the discard tile operation has been performed, and the discard tile targeting the tile touched immediately before is executed. As a result, the discarded tiles are reduced and displayed in the river area RV.

When the skill points that can be consumed by the self are equal to or higher than the SP consumption of the Tsumo skill associated with the home, and the activation condition of the Tsumo skill is satisfied, the Tsumo skill icon corresponding to the Tsumo skill is highlighted. Here, when the self taps the Tsumo skill icon, the amount of points corresponding to the consumption SP is consumed from the skill points, and the Tsumo skill is activated. As a result, processing such as displaying the tile corresponding to the Tsumo skill as a Tsumo tile in the hand tile area HA is executed.

As the game progresses, if any of the multiple types of roles (that is, a specific combination) is established for the combination of tiles on the hand tile area HA, the Tsumo end or reach end is declared. The operation becomes possible. When the declaring operation is performed by the user, the game ends, and the user who declares the end of the game is given points according to the winning combination. In addition, the game ends even when none of the houses have finished and the game becomes a stream. At this time, points will be given to any of the houses depending on the game situation.

(About operation)
The control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each of the users 1 to 4 executes the game progress process shown in FIG. 7 according to the operation character side program stored in the storage unit 120. Further, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the user acting as the host executes the game status management process shown in FIG. 8 according to the administrator-side program stored in the storage unit 120.

With reference to FIG. 7, in step S01, it is determined based on the game information whether or not the turn of the home has arrived. When it is determined that the order has arrived, the process proceeds to step S02, and the Tsumo process is executed. Specifically, the tiles are displayed at the right end of the hand tile area HA. When the Tsumo processing is completed, the process proceeds to step S03. In step S03, the touch screen 15 indicates whether or not the discard tile operation (the operation of touching any of the tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA and moving the touch position to the river area RV side) has been performed. Judgment is made based on the input operation for. If it is not determined that the discarding tile operation has been performed, the process returns to step S03, and if it is determined that the discarding tile operation has been performed, the discarding tile process is executed in step S04. Specifically, the discarded tiles are reduced and displayed in the river area RV. When the discarding process is completed, the process proceeds to step S10.

If it is not determined in step S01 that the turn of the house has arrived, the process proceeds to step S05. In step S05, whether or not the first mode is selected and it is possible to declare naki for the tiles discarded by another family, that is, the tiles of the own house and the tiles of the other family. Whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied is determined based on the tile displayed in the hand tile area HA and the discarded tile of the other house. Whether or not the first mode is selected is specified based on the game information. If it is not determined that the naki can be declared even when the first mode is not selected or even when the first mode is selected, a return is made. On the other hand, when the first mode is selected and it is determined that the naki can be declared, the process proceeds to step S06.

In step S06, an inquiry window for inquiring whether or not to make naki is displayed on the touch screen 15. In step S07, it is determined whether or not an operation for declaring naki on the inquiry screen has been performed based on an input operation on the touch screen 15. When it is determined that the operation for declaring the naki has been performed, the naki treatment is executed in step S08. Specifically, the inquiry screen is hidden, and the Naki tile is displayed by exposing it to the upper right of the hand tile area HA. When the naki treatment is completed, the process proceeds to step S03.

On the other hand, if it is not determined that the operation for declaring the naki has been performed, the process proceeds to step S09, and it is determined based on the input operation on the touch screen 15 whether or not the operation for seeing off the naki has been performed. If it is not determined that the send-off operation has been performed, a return is made, and if it is determined that the send-off operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S10, the time control update information is transmitted to the administrator program. If the player performs the discarding tile operation after the tiles have been picked up, the time control information will be used to specify the time from the arrival of the tiles' turn by the self to the time when the discarding tile operation is performed. The time information and the user information for making it possible to identify the user who performed the discarding operation are included. In addition, if a tile that can be dewed by one's own house is thrown away by another house and the self-declares the dew, the time update information includes the tile that can be dewed by one's own after being thrown away. It includes time information for making it possible to identify the time until the tile operation is performed, and user information for making it possible to identify the user who performed the discard tile operation. Furthermore, if a tile that can be dewed by one's own house is thrown away by another house and the house performs an operation to see off the side dew, the time update information includes the operation to see off the tile that can be dewed after the tile is thrown away. It includes time information for making it possible to specify the time until the tile is performed, and user information for making it possible to identify the user who has performed the operation to be forgotten. When the process of step S10 is completed, the process returns.

With reference to FIG. 8, in step S11, it is determined whether or not the time control update information is received from the operation character side program. In the user terminal 100 operated by the user who plays the host role, the determination is made based on the processing status of the operating character side program. On the other hand, in the user terminal 100 operated by the user acting as a guest, the determination is made based on the input from the communication IF 13.

When it is determined that the time control update information has been received, the time information and the user information are specified from the time control update information, and the time control of the user corresponding to the user information is updated based on the time information. .. Specifically, the time obtained by subtracting the predetermined time (= 3 seconds) from the time specified by the time information is subtracted from the current time of the user. As a result, the time control is reduced as the game progresses, with the initial value of 30 seconds set at the start of the game this time. When the update of the time control is completed, or when it is not determined in step S11 that the discard tile information has been received, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, it is determined based on the game information whether or not the current game is completed by any of the users 1 to 4 ending or streaming. If it is not determined that the game has ended, a return is made, and if it is determined that the game has ended, settlement is performed in step S14. For example, a user who declares a winning combination is given points according to the winning combination. As a result of the settlement, the ranking of users 1 to 4 and the score difference between users 1 to 4 are specified.

In step S15, the remaining time of each of the users 1 to 4 in this game is registered in the remaining time management table 303. In step S16, it is determined based on the game information whether or not the half-village battle has ended. If it is not determined that the half-village battle is over, the process proceeds to step S17, and if it is not determined that the half-village battle is over, the process proceeds to step S18.

In step S17, the skill points of the user are recovered according to the remaining time of each of the users 1 to 4 in this game. Specifically, the recovery amount corresponding to the remaining time is specified from the skill point recovery amount management table 304, and the skill point is recovered by the recovery amount. In the next game, the recovered skill points will be associated with the user. For example, if the skill points and the holding time of the user 1 remaining at the end of this game are 120 points and 18 seconds, respectively, the skill points associated with the user 1 in the next game will be 180 points.

In step S18, the remaining time corresponding to each of the plurality of games constituting the half-village battle is specified from the remaining time management table 303, and the remaining time is added up for each user. Further, in step S18, a reward corresponding to the total time specified by the total is given to each of the users 1 to 4. The value of the reward increases as the total time increases. When the process of step S17 or S18 is completed, the process returns.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, the time of each of the users 1 to 4 decreases according to the passage of time after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has passed since the user's turn to pick up the tiles has arrived. At the same time, the tiles that can be dewed by the user are reduced according to the passage of time after the predetermined time has elapsed since the tiles that can be dewed by the user are discarded by another user. When the game is completed, the recovery amount according to the time of each of the users 1 to 4 remaining at that time is specified from the skill point recovery amount management table 304. The skill points of the user remaining at the end of the game are recovered according to the amount of recovery, and the recovered skill points are associated with the user in the next game. Here, the amount of recovery of the skill points increases as the time held is longer, that is, the time elapsed after the predetermined time has elapsed is shorter and the skill points are discarded as soon as possible.

As a result, the degree of advantage regarding skill activation is increased for the user who quickly performs the discarding operation in the game. As a result, in order to enable the user to activate more skills in order to increase the degree of advantage of the user during the game, the user is encouraged to proceed with the game promptly, and the preference of the mahjong game is improved.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the time of each of the users 1 to 4 is not only the time elapsed after the predetermined time has elapsed since the user picked up the tile, but also the inquiry window is displayed. Even when the mode is set, the tiles that can be dewed by the user are reduced according to the lapse of time after a predetermined time has elapsed after being discarded by another user. As a result, the so-called squeal waiting problem (problem that another user has to wait while considering whether or not one user has a side dew) can be solved as much as possible, and the game progresses comfortably for each user. be able to.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the mahjong game is played in a plurality of games constituting the half-village battle. Skill points associated with each of users 1 to 4 in the next game are specified based on the time remaining at the end of this game. For this reason, each of the users 1 to 4 is thrown away while accurately deciding whether or not to activate the skill in consideration of the battle situation (the situation of the tiles, the difference in points, etc.) of the user in this game. It is required to perform the operation quickly. This improves the taste of mahjong games.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when the half-village battle is completed, the remaining time in each of the plurality of games constituting the half-village battle is totaled for each user, and the reward according to the total time by the total is the user. It is given to each of 1 to 4. The value of the reward increases as the total time increases, that is, the time until the discarding operation is short. This can improve the taste of mahjong games.

[Embodiment 2]
In the present embodiment, in a dangerous situation where a user other than the other user who performed the abandoned tile this time is likely to establish a role, it is dangerous when the abandoned tile is a dangerous tile that is likely to contribute to the establishment of the role. A tile banging effect is performed. On the other hand, in a situation where a user can perform naki, a so-called squeal waiting occurs in which the game waits until the user decides whether or not to perform naki. The squealing wait causes a problem that another user may infer that the user is in a situation where naki is possible. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a certain user is in a situation where naki is possible, an example in which the same effect as the above-mentioned effect of dangerous banging is executed on the user terminal 100 of another user will be described. As a result, it is possible to prevent as much as possible from being inferred by another user that one of the users is in a situation where naki is possible, and it is possible to allow time for the naki to occur.

(About operation)
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the process shown in FIG. 9 is executed instead of the process of step S05 shown in FIG. 7. Therefore, duplicate description regarding the same configuration is given. Is omitted.

In step S21, whether or not it is possible for the player to declare naki for the tiles discarded by the other house is determined by the tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA and the discarded tiles of the other house. Judge based on. When it is determined that it is possible to declare the naki, the process proceeds to step S22, and the other family is notified that the naki can be declared. The notification is transmitted to the user terminal 100 of another house via the server 200. When the process of step S22 is completed, the process proceeds to step S06.

If it is not determined in step S21 that the naki can be declared, the process proceeds to step S23. In step S23, it is determined whether or not a specific condition is satisfied. The specific condition is a condition that can be satisfied based on the current abandoned tile by another family and the current game situation. The current game status can be grasped not by the operation character side program but by the administrator side program. Therefore, in step S23, the determination is requested to the administrator-side program, and the determination result is acquired from the administrator-side program.

The specific condition is established when the abandoned tile is a dangerous tile that is likely to contribute to the establishment of the role in a dangerous situation where a house other than the other house that performed the abandoned tile is likely to establish the role. It is a condition. In addition, as the dangerous situation, the game situation in the latter half, the situation where more than the specified number of tiles are thrown away, and the two houses other than the other house that made the thrown away tiles this time reach or secondary dew (secondary dew) In the situation where a side dew is declared instead of dew, but a dora tile may be used as a pong), there is a possibility that a house other than the other house will be fully qualified (for example, one color of characters, Kokushi Musou, one color of Seiichi). Including high situations. In addition, when the role is a role that is established only by the character tiles, the dangerous tiles include raw tiles (one tile is thrown away).

When it is determined that the specific condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S25, and the effect of a dangerous bang is executed. The effect of the dangerous bang includes, for example, an effect in which a specific character is enlarged and displayed and a cheer (voice) such as "Oh!" Is output. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the specific condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S24, and it is communicated whether or not a notification from another house that it is possible to declare naki has been received. This is done based on the input from IF13. When it is determined that the notification from the other house has been received, the process proceeds to step S25, and the same effect as the effect of the dangerous bang is executed. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the notification from the other house has been received, a return is made.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, the production of the dangerous tile bang is not only executed when a specific condition is satisfied with respect to the current abandoned tile by another family and the current game situation, but also the other family can dew. It also runs if the tile is abandoned by another house. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the concern that a house other than the house that can declare the naki will be in a so-called squealing state, which is worried about whether or not to declare the naki for the tile that can declare the naki. be able to.

[Embodiment 3]
In a mahjong game, there is a possibility that the area around the tile that the user took time to throw away is a dangerous tile, or that another tile that is the same as the tile that took the time is present in another house's hand tile. Is high. Therefore, in the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the display mode of the discarded tiles is changed according to the time required from the acceptance of the discarded tile operation by another house to the acceptance of the discarded tile operation. This supports thinking about which tiles are dangerous tiles.

(About operation)
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment is the embodiment 1 or the embodiment except that the discard tile display process shown in FIG. 10 is additionally executed with respect to the first embodiment or the second embodiment according to the operation character side program. Since it is the same as 2, the duplicate description regarding the same configuration will be omitted.

In step S31, it is determined based on the game information whether or not the abandoned tile has been executed by another house. If it is not determined that the discarded tile has been executed, a return is made, and if it is determined that the discarded tile has been executed, the process proceeds to step S32. In step S32, the time required from the acceptance of the discarding tile operation by another house to the acceptance of the discarding tile operation is specified as the discarding tile time. Specifically, the abandoned tile time is the time from when the other family picks up the tile to when the abandoned tile is executed, or from when the other family declares Naki to when the abandoned tile is executed. It's time for. In step S33, it is determined whether or not the discarding time is less than the specific time based on the processing result of step S32. Here, an example is shown in which the specific time is set to a time (for example, 10 seconds) longer than the predetermined time (3 seconds) of the first embodiment, but the specific time is not limited to this and is set to the same time as the predetermined time. It may be set.

When it is determined that the discarded tile time is less than the specific time, the process proceeds to step S34, and the discarded tile is displayed in the river area RV in a normal manner. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the discarded tile time is less than the specific time, the process proceeds to step S35, and the discarded tile is conspicuously displayed in the river area RV. For example, the discarded tile is displayed in a size larger than the discarded tile displayed in the normal mode. When the process of step S34 or S35 is completed, the process returns.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, the time required from the acceptance of the discarding tile operation by another house to the acceptance of the discarding tile operation is the predetermined time or more, and the discarding tile is less than the predetermined time. Is displayed in a different manner from. There is a high possibility that the area around the tile that took a long time to throw away is a dangerous tile, or that the same tile as the tile that took the time to throw away is present in another house's hand tile. Based on this, in the present embodiment, the display mode of the discarded tiles is changed according to the time until the discarded tile operation. This can support thinking about which tiles are dangerous tiles.

[Embodiment 4]
In a mahjong game, the degree of listening of another family, that is, the possibility that the other family will win the role by completing the Ron or Tsumo, occupies the discarded tiles of the other family when the number of times the tiles are cut is large. It becomes high when the ratio of the middle tile is small, or when the degree of color bias in the discarded tile of the other house is high. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the color of the entire handicraft of the other family is displayed in different colors according to the degree of tenpai. This makes it possible to support the thinking of abandoning one's own tiles.

(About operation)
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment is the embodiment 1 or the embodiment, except that the discard tile thinking support process shown in FIG. 11 is additionally executed with respect to the first embodiment or the second embodiment according to the operation character side program. Since it is the same as the second embodiment, the duplicate description regarding the same configuration will be omitted. The abandoned tile thinking support process may be additionally executed with respect to the third embodiment. In this case, the process of step S42 becomes unnecessary.

In step S41, it is determined based on the game information whether or not the abandoned tile has been executed by another house. If it is not determined that the discarded tile has been executed, a return is made, and if it is determined that the discarded tile has been executed, the process proceeds to step S42. In step S42, the discarded tile is displayed in the river area RV.

In step S43, the degree of tenpai of the other family is specified. The degree of tenpai of another family is the degree to which the hand of the other family is approaching the end of the game, and there is a possibility that the number of chanten is small. The degree of listening to other tiles is, for example, the number of times the tiles are cut, the ratio of the middle tiles (the middle number tiles such as 4, 5, 6) to the discarded tiles of the other family, and the color bias in the discarded tiles of the other family. It is identified based on the abandonment tendency of the other family, such as the condition. The degree of tenpai of the other family is high when the number of times the tiles are cut is large, the ratio of the middle tiles is small, or the color bias is high. In addition, the degree of tenpai can be said to be the possibility that the other family can establish a role, and it can be said that the abandoned tile of one's own is a dangerous tile.

In step S44, the color of the entire handicraft of the other house is displayed in a different color according to the degree of tenpai. Specifically, if the specific tenpai is less than a predetermined value, the entire handicraft of the other house is displayed in normal color. On the other hand, if the degree of tenpai is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, the entire handicraft of the other family is displayed in red. Instead of displaying the entire handicraft of the other house in red, the handicraft of the other house may be displayed in a large size. In addition, when displaying a character of another house on the game screen, the color of the character may be red according to the degree of listening. When the process of step S44 is completed, the process returns.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to this embodiment, the possibility that the other house will establish a role is specified based on the tendency of the other house to throw away the tiles, and if the possibility is less than a predetermined value, the entire hand tile of the other house is usually colored. On the other hand, if the possibility is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, the entire hand tile of the other house is displayed in red. In this way, it is possible to support the thinking of abandoning one's own tiles.

[Embodiment 5]
In mahjong games, in general, if the opponent is too strong or too weak, the taste of the mahjong game is reduced. Therefore, in the present embodiment, an AI having a function of specifying an advantageous discard tile, which is a tile whose degree of advantage to the user is increased by the discard tile operation, from the user's hand tiles is prepared in the server 200, and the AI is specified by the AI. An example will be described in which the opponent is specified (matched) from the next time onward according to the matching rate between the advantageous discarded tiles and the tiles actually discarded by the user. As a result, competitive game development can be realized, and the taste of mahjong games is improved.

(About operation)
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, a huge amount of score information (specific information) related to past games is stored in the storage unit 220 as game information 222, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a game program. The point stored in the storage unit 220 as 221 and the ability determination process shown in FIG. 12 according to the game program stored in the storage unit 220 of the server 200 are additionally executed for each of the first to fourth embodiments. Since it is the same as that of the first to fourth embodiments, the duplicate description regarding the same configuration will be omitted.

The AI stores the advantageous discard tile (advantageous identification information), which is a tile that increases the degree of advantage regarding the establishment of the role of the user, such as increasing the number of chanten of the user's hand tile by the discard tile operation of the user. It has a function to identify from a combination of hand tiles of the user based on a huge amount of accumulated tile information.

With reference to FIG. 12, in step S51, it is determined based on the game information whether or not any user has created a room as a host. If it is not determined that the room has been created, a return is made, and if it is determined that the room has been created, the process proceeds to step S52. In step S52, the score information of the previous match of the user is acquired from the storage unit 220, and in step S53, the AI is made to specify the advantageous discard tile in each phase in which the user has performed the discard operation in the match. In step S54, the matching rate between the tile actually discarded by the user and the advantageous discarded tile is specified in each of the phases. In step S55, the ability of the user is determined based on the matching rate, and in step S56, the opponent corresponding to the ability is specified by matching. That is, from among a plurality of users who desire a game, three users according to the ability are specified as game opponents. When the opponent is identified, it returns.

The processes of steps S52 to S55 may be executed when one game is completed, and the process of step S56 may be executed when the user creates a room as a host.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, the opponent according to the ability of the user who created the room as the host is specified by AI based on the score information of the previous match of the user. As a result, it is possible to realize a competitive game development and enhance the taste of the mahjong game.

<Modification example>
Examples of modifications of the embodiments described above are listed below.

(1) In the above embodiment, skill points are exemplified as parameters for specifying the degree of advantage regarding skill activation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the skill type and skill activation conditions associated with the user are used as the parameters. You may assume it. Specifically, the type of Tsumo skill associated with the user is increased according to the remaining time of the user, and the activation condition of the skill associated with the user is relaxed according to the remaining time. You may. In addition, the longer the remaining time (the shorter the elapsed time), the smaller the skill point consumption when the skill is activated.

(2) In the above embodiment, the skill points are recovered up to the initial value of 250 points. However, the skill points may be restored to a point amount exceeding the initial value.

(3) In the above embodiment, the skill points of the user are recovered according to the remaining time of each of the users 1 to 4 in the current game, and the recovered skill points are associated with the user in the next game. ing. However, in this game, the time from when the user picks up the tile to when the tile is thrown away, or from when the user declares the tile to when the tile is thrown away is repeatedly specified. The skill points of the user during the current game may be increased in the range of, for example, 1 point to 3 points according to the time specified each time.

(4) In the above embodiment, the degree of advantage regarding the activation of the skill for advancing the next game in an advantageous manner is specified based on the remaining time of each of the users 1 to 4 in the current game. However, the degree of advantage may be specified based on the time held at a specific timing during this game (for example, the timing when the number of chanten increases or the timing when the tiles are tweaked). .. Further, paying attention to the period after the number of remaining tiles in the mountain is less than a predetermined number, the degree of advantage may be specified based on the time required for the discarding tile operation in the period.

(5) In the above embodiment, the self-owned time decreases after a predetermined time (3 seconds) has elapsed, and the self-advantage with respect to the activation of the skill that advances the game advantageously is the length of the self-owned time. It will be increased accordingly. However, when the number of times the discard tile operation is performed before the predetermined time elapses reaches a predetermined value, skill points can be recovered, skill types can be increased, skill activation conditions can be relaxed, etc. Then, the degree of advantage may be increased.

(6) In the above embodiment, if the discarding operation is performed within a predetermined time, the holding time does not change. However, if the discarding tile operation is performed within the predetermined time, the time from the timing at which the discarding tile operation is performed to the timing at which the predetermined time elapses may be added to the holding time.

(7) In the above embodiment, the remaining time of the user in each of the plurality of games constituting the half-village battle is added up, and the reward according to the total time specified by this is given to the user. There is. However, the average value of the remaining time in the plurality of games may be specified, and the reward corresponding to the average value may be given to the user. In addition, each time a game is completed, a reward may be given to the user according to the remaining time in the game.

(8) In the above embodiment, when the activation condition of the distribution skill is satisfied, the distribution skill is activated regardless of the intention of the user to whom the distribution skill is associated. However, the user may be inquired as to whether or not to activate the distribution skill, and the distribution skill may be activated in response to a response from the user.

(9) In the above embodiment, the four users forming a party compete for victory or defeat in a half-village battle. However, a plurality of types of battles such as Dongfeng battle, Hanso battle, and Ichiso battle may be prepared so that the user who plays the host role can select the type of battle. In this case, the initial value or recovery amount of skill points may be different depending on the type of battle.

(10) According to the process shown in FIG. 9 in the above embodiment, when a notification from another house that it is possible to declare naki is received, the process always proceeds from step S24 to step S25. However, when it is determined in step S24 that the notification has been received, the tiles may proceed to step S25 with a predetermined probability (for example, a probability of 50%), or the number of tiles remaining in the tiles may be less than a predetermined number (for example, half). If it is less than), the process may proceed to step S25.

(11) According to the process shown in FIG. 9 of the above embodiments, it is dangerous even when a specific condition is not satisfied and a notification from another house that naki is possible is received. I try to perform the production of a bang. However, if the effect to be executed when receiving a notification from another house that naki is possible is the same as the effect to be executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a dangerous bang effect is produced. For example, the same production as the story production related to the character that can be executed when the story opening condition is satisfied in a quest or the like may be executed.

(12) In the above embodiment, the amount of recovery of skill points is increased according to the remaining time in this game. However, instead of increasing the amount of recovery of the skill point, or in addition to increasing the amount of recovery of the skill point, other matters (for example, distribution in the next game) are set according to the remaining time. You may try to improve it.

(13) The game programs in each of the above-described first to fifth embodiments may be executed individually, and the game programs in any two or more embodiments of the first to fifth embodiments may be executed individually. It may be executed in combination.

(14) In the above embodiment, the synchronization between the user terminals 100 is established via the server 200. However, for example, in a local area network environment, synchronization between user terminals 100 may be established by communicating with each other.

(15) In the above embodiment, the process according to the administrator program is executed by the user terminal 100 of the user who serves as the host. However, the processing may be carried out by the server 200.

(16) In the above embodiment, it is assumed that four users play against each other, but in reality, there is a possibility that all four users are not available. Therefore, if all four users are not available, the shortage of one to three users may be supplemented by NPCs (non-player characters).
