Acquisition operation data to notify that the game program of the observation-type breeding game has been started, notification that the start operation to start the game using the action data of other players has been performed Reception control for receiving data such as start operation data to be received from the mobile phone 10 is performed.

4). Next, a method for controlling the observation-type breeding game performed in the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

4-1. First, an example of a behavior data registration method will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of processing on the mobile phone 10 side when behavior data is registered in the communication content server 20, and FIG. 5A shows one segment before the behavior data acquisition operation is performed. FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating an example of a broadcast video and data image, and FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating an example of a one-segment broadcast video and data image after an action data acquisition operation is performed. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing on the communication content server 20 side when registering behavior data in the communication content server 20, and FIG. 7 illustrates an example of registration information of a player registered in the registration information storage unit 275. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile phone 10 performs a process of reproducing one segment broadcast (video, audio, data broadcast, caption, program information, etc.) (step S10). Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, a one-segment broadcast video 300 (television program) and a data image 310 (data broadcast) are displayed on the display unit 190. The data image 310 includes an acquisition operation button 312 for performing an acquisition operation for acquiring action data associated with the video 300 (television program).

  Subsequently, the mobile phone 10 determines whether or not an acquisition operation has been performed in which the player operates the operation unit 160 and clicks the acquisition operation button 312 (step S12), and when the acquisition operation has been performed (step S12). Y in S12), acquisition operation data (for example, information indicating that the acquisition operation button 312 has been clicked, identification information of the player (mobile phone 10), date and time information on the acquisition operation, and video 300 (TV program). A process of transmitting identification information or action data identification information associated with the video 300 (television program) to the communication content server 20 is performed (step S14).

  When the acquisition operation is performed (Y in step S12), the mobile phone 10 displays a data image 320 (data broadcast) instead of the data image 310 (data broadcast) as shown in FIG. 5B. Action data (for example, word data “Tanaka”) displayed on the display unit 190 (step S16) and associated with the video 300 (television program) is registered in the communication content server 20 as player action data. Inform.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the communication content server 20 receives the acquired operation data from the mobile phone 10 (Y in step S20), the communication content server 20 is action data associated with the video 300 (television program) (for example, word data “ Tanaka ") and the viewing data of the video 300 (television program) are registered in the registration information storage unit 275 as player data (step S22). Note that the communication content server 20 determines the action data associated with the video 300 (TV program) and the video 300 (TV program) that the player is viewing based on the acquired operation data received from the mobile phone 10.

  In the registration information storage unit 275, as shown in FIG. 7, registration information such as word data, motion data, dialogue data, diary data, viewing data registered in the player is divided into transmitted data and untransmitted data. And stored for each player. “Transmitted data” is data that has already been transmitted to the mobile phone 10 as player data, and “untransmitted data” is data that has not yet been transmitted to the mobile phone 10 as player data. Therefore, in the action data registration process in step S22, action data (for example, “Tanaka” which is word data) associated with the video 300 (television program) and viewing data of the video 300 (television program) are transmitted as untransmitted data. be registered.

4-2. Character Action Control Method Next, an example of a character action control method will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of processing on the mobile phone 10 side when an application (game program for an observation-type breeding game) is started and an observation-type breeding game is performed, and FIG. It is a flowchart figure which shows an example of the process by the side of the communication content server 20 at the time of starting an observation type | mold training game by starting a game program of a game, and FIG. 10 (A)-FIG. It is a figure for demonstrating an example.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the player activates the application by operating the operation unit 160 (step S100), activation data (for example, information indicating that the application has been activated, the player (cellular phone 10) ) Identification information or date / time information on the start operation) is transmitted to the communication content server 20 (step S102).

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the communication content server 20 receives the activation data from the mobile phone 10 (Y in step S120), the communication content server 20 searches the registration information storage unit 275 for registration information of the player of the mobile phone 10 that transmitted the activation data. Then, it is determined whether or not untransmitted data is registered in the searched registration information (step S122). If untransmitted data is registered in the registration information of the player (Y in step S122), untransmitted data (for example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, “Tanaka” which is word data or video 300 (TV program) )) Is transmitted to the mobile phone 10 (step S124). When untransmitted data is transmitted to the mobile phone 10, the untransmitted data in the registration information is updated and registered with the transmitted data.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the mobile phone 10 receives untransmitted data from the communication content server 20 (Y in step S104), the mobile phone 10 stores the received untransmitted data in each storage unit of the storage unit 170 (for example, Control to store the word data “Tanaka” in the word data storage unit 172A and control to store the viewing data of the video 300 (television program) in the viewing data storage unit 175) is performed (step S106).

  When the observation-type training game is started, the mobile phone 10 stores the word data stored in the word data storage unit 172A, the line data stored in the line data storage unit 173, and the motion data storage unit 172B. The action of the character is controlled using the motion data being recorded or the diary data stored in the diary data storage unit 174 (step S108).

  FIG. 10A is an example of a game image of the observation type breeding game. In the observation-type breeding game of the present embodiment, each time the player operates the operation unit 160 to select the character 400 with the cursor 410 or a predetermined period elapses (for example, every 30 seconds), the dialogue data storage unit 173. The dialogue data is randomly selected from the dialogue data stored in the word data, and the word data to be inserted into the dialogue data selected from the word data stored in the word data storage unit 172A is randomly selected. , A process of causing the character 400 to speak a line corresponding to the selected line data and word data (a process of displaying a line in a speech balloon), or motion data randomly selected from the motion data stored in the motion data storage unit 172B Is selected, and the character 400 performs processing according to the selected motion data. That.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10B, the dialogue data “Yesterday [person name] gave me kindness of [place name] three pieces” from the dialogue data stored in the dialogue data storage unit 173 is selected. Then, the word data “Tanaka” stored in the word data storage unit 172A is selected for the insertion portion “person name”, and the word data storage portion 172A is stored for the insertion portion “place name”. Because the word data “Noto Peninsula” was selected, the character 400 utters the line that “Yesterday Tanaka gave me the kindness of three Noto Peninsula” (“Yesterday Tanaka was kindness of three Noto Peninsula” "The message" I gave you "is displayed in the balloon). In addition, word data is randomly selected from the word data whose part of speech is the person name (see FIG. 7) in the insertion part “person name”, and the word data in which the part of speech is the place name in the insertion part “place name”. Word data is selected at random from (see FIG. 7).

  Further, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 10C, since the motion data “waving hand” is selected from the motion data stored in the motion data storage unit 172B, the character 400 performs the motion of shaking hands. Yes.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the action data (word data and motion data) acquired by the player in conjunction with the viewing of the digital broadcast is not performed by the character using the action data created by the player itself. Since the character is allowed to perform an action using the character, it is possible to cause the character to perform an action that is surprising to the player, and to prompt the player to both watch the digital broadcast program and execute the game.

  In the present embodiment, the action data (word data and motion data) acquired by the player in conjunction with the viewing of the digital broadcast is managed by the communication content server 20, which is contrary to action data and public order and morals that make others uncomfortable. Such behavior data can be eliminated, and it is possible to prevent the character from performing an action that makes others uncomfortable or an action that goes against public order and morals.

  In addition, you may make it link the word (line) which makes the character 400 speak, and the operation | movement which the character 400 performs. In this case, it may be set such that specific motion data is further selected when specific word data (line data) is selected. Alternatively, it may be set so that specific word data (line data) is further selected when specific motion data is selected. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10D, when the word data “Tanaka” is selected, the motion data “waving hand” is set to be further selected. Tanaka gave me the kindness of three Noto Peninsula. " Such word data (line data) and motion data can be linked using, for example, a category ID (ID indicating a genre of a program such as variety and travel) or a program ID (ID indicating a program). Yes (see FIG. 7). In addition, a connection between word data (line data) and motion data may be set in advance.

  In this embodiment, the diary data received from the communication content server 20 is stored in the diary data storage unit 174, and the word data of the player stored in the word data storage unit 172A is inserted into the diary data insertion part. Diary data is created by doing. For example, from the diary data stored in the diary data storage unit 174, the diary data “Ah, after all, [person name] is interesting” is selected, and in the insertion portion of [person name], the word data storage unit 172A is selected. When the stored word data “Tanaka” is selected, a diary “Character Tanaka is interesting” of the character 400 is created. The created diary is displayed on the display unit 190 when the player operates the operation unit 160 and selects the icon 414 for reading the diary with the cursor 410 (see FIG. 10A). The diary is composed of all five episodes, and is created every time a predetermined cycle elapses (for example, every week).

  In the observation-type breeding game of this embodiment, a game parameter called happiness (an example of a game parameter of a character that controls the progress of the game) is set for the character 400, and the story of the diary branches according to this happiness. It is set to be. For example, if the level of happiness is high, the contents of the diary will be happy. If the level of happiness is low, the contents of the diary will be unhappy. If the level of happiness remains low, the diary will not be completed and the game will end. End up. When the player operates the operation unit 160 and selects the status icon 418 (see FIG. 10A) with the cursor 410, the happiness level is displayed on the display unit 190.

  The happiness level is changed according to the viewing data stored in the viewing data storage unit 175 and the activation number of the application activation number stored in the activation number storage unit 176. In the present embodiment, the application activation number is changed. Is set so that the happiness level is high when the number of times is over a predetermined number of times, a specific program is being viewed, or a program is auditioned for a predetermined time within a predetermined period. Whether or not a specific program is being viewed can be determined from the program ID and category ID (see FIG. 7) of the viewing data stored in the viewing data storage unit 175. In addition, as the number of application activations, the number of application activations stored in the activation number storage unit 176 is updated and stored every time the application is activated.

  As described above, in this embodiment, as the number of times the application is activated increases, the happiness level of the character 400 increases. Therefore, the player can be more effectively prompted to execute the game. Similarly, in the present embodiment, the better the viewing situation of the digital broadcast, the higher the happiness level of the character 400, so that the player can effectively promote viewing of the digital broadcast.

4-3. Method for Acquiring Behavior Data of Other Players Next, an example of a method for acquiring behavior data of other players will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing an example of processing on the mobile phone 10 side when performing a shirit to obtain behavior data of other players, and FIGS. 12A to 12D are game images of the shiritori. FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining an example of processing on the communication content server 20 side when performing the scoring to obtain the action data of other players, and FIG. It is a flowchart figure which shows an example of this game process.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the player operates the operation unit 160 to start a shiritori operation (step S200), the mobile phone 10 indicates that start operation data (for example, a shiritori start operation has been performed). Information, the identification information of the other player selected by the start operation, the identification information of the player (mobile phone 10), the date / time information on which the start operation was performed, and the like are transmitted to the communication content server 20 (step S202). ).

  Specifically, as a shiritori start operation, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the player operates the operation unit 160 and selects the outing icon 412 with the cursor 410, a list of other players to go to is displayed. Therefore, another player to be out of the list (another player who performs a banquet) is selected from the list. When “Someone's House” is selected, other players to be visited are randomly selected from other players registered in the communication content server 20.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the communication content server 20 receives the start operation data from the mobile phone 10 (Y in step S220), the registration information storage unit 275 stores registration information of other players specified by the start operation data. And processing for transmitting the word data of the other player registered in the searched registration information to the mobile phone 10 (step S222).

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the cellular phone 10 receives the word data of another player from the communication content server 20 (Y in step S204), it is stored in the received word data and word data storage unit 172A of the other player. The shiritori game process is started using the word data stored (step S206).

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the shiritori of the present embodiment, first, word data is randomly selected from the word data stored in the word data storage unit 172A (step S300), and the selected word is selected. A process (a process for displaying the selected word in a speech balloon) of causing the character 400 that is the player's character to speak a word according to the data is performed (step S302). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 12B, the character 400 speaks the word “Tanaka” stored in the word data storage unit 172A.

  Subsequently, a process of selecting the word data starting from the ending character of the word given to the character 400 from the received other player's word data (Y in step S304) is performed. A process of causing the character 405 that is the character of the other player to speak in response (a process of displaying the selected word in a balloon) is performed (step S306). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 12B, the character 405 speaks the word “Kato” starting with “ka”, which is the ending character of the word “Tanaka” that the character 400 sang. If there is no word data starting from the ending character of the word given to the character 400 in the received word data of the other player, the shiritori ends (N in step S304).

  Subsequently, a process of selecting word data starting from the ending character of the word given to the character 405 from the word data stored in the word data storage unit 172A is performed (Y in step S308) and selected. A process of causing the character 400 to speak a word corresponding to the word data is performed (step S302). If the word data stored in the word data storage unit 172A does not include word data starting from the last character of the word given to the character 405, the shiritori ends (N in step S308). .

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the shiritori is completed, the mobile phone 10 stores the word data of other players used for the shiritori (for example, the word data “Kato” in the example shown in FIG. 12B). Control to store the word data in the word data storage unit 172A as the player's word data is performed (step S208).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the player operates the operation unit 160 and selects the action icon 416 with the cursor 410, a list for selecting whether to go home is displayed. When “Yes” is selected from “”, the character 400 returns home as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the word data of the other player used for the shiritori becomes the word data of the player, so that conversations and actions to be performed by the character can be varied. In particular, in the present embodiment, the greater the number of word data of the player, the higher the probability that shiritori will continue, and it becomes possible to use many word data of other players as the word data of the player. Therefore, in order to increase the number of word data of the player, viewing of the digital broadcast program can be more effectively encouraged by the player.

  In the present embodiment, the deduction is performed using a predetermined algorithm, but the word data stored in the word data storage unit 172A or the word data of another player received from the communication content server 20 is displayed as a list. The player himself / herself may select words.

  Alternatively, the shiritori game process may be performed using only word data belonging to a predetermined category. As this category, for example, category ID, program ID, part of speech, etc. are applicable (see FIG. 7). For example, if exchanging is performed using only word data belonging to a specific program ID, it is possible to make the player associate the program with this program ID and promote the program. It should be noted that the communication content server 20 may instruct which category of word data is used to perform the deduction.

  In addition, a gesture quiz or the like may be adopted as a game for acquiring motion data of other players. For example, when the player can apply the action performed by the character of another player, the motion data of the action performed by the character of the other player may be obtained.

5. Modifications The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In addition, the configuration described in the above embodiment is merely an example, and even when an equivalent technique that achieves the same effect as the configuration of the above embodiment is employed, it can be included in the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, description has been made taking shiritori as an example of word play. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and word play using word data can be adopted.

  For example, as word play, a puzzle (so-called crossword puzzle) in which a word is applied to a square that intersects with a horizontal axis based on a hint by a sentence called a key may be adopted. In this case, the word estimated from the key may be a word related to the one-segment broadcast program, and the word may be acquired by viewing the one-segment broadcast. In this way, since the crossword puzzle cannot be solved unless the 1-segment broadcast is viewed, the player can be prompted to view the 1-segment broadcast. Note that this may be performed using the word data of the player stored in the word data storage unit 172A, or may be performed using the word data of another player.

  Also, for example, as a word game, a game in which a specific word such as “B” or “B” is inserted between words and the original word is guessed from this word (for example, “B ”Is inserted to create the word“ tab nabu cub ”, and the word“ Ta nabu cub ”is used to guess the word“ Tanaka ”). In this case, a word in which a specific word is inserted may be output by voice, and the original word may be input from a microphone or a character may be input. Note that this may be performed using the word data of the player stored in the word data storage unit 172A, or may be performed using the word data of another player.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the process of displaying a speech in a speech balloon has been described as an example of the process of causing the character to speak the speech. However, the content of the speech may be output from the sound output unit 192 by voice. Moreover, you may make it use both processing (The process which displays a speech in a speech balloon, and the process which outputs the content of a speech with the sound from the sound output part 192) together.

  In the above embodiment, the mobile phone 10 has been described as an example of the mobile terminal device. However, in addition to the mobile phone 10, a mobile game device, a notebook personal computer, or the like can be used as the mobile terminal device. In addition to a portable terminal device, a terminal device such as a desktop personal computer may be employed.

  Further, the game system of the present embodiment may be realized by distributing the functions of the portable terminal device to a plurality of devices. For example, the receiving function of digital broadcasting may be realized by a receiving device, and other functions may be realized by a game device.

  In addition, the processing of each unit (each unit) in the present embodiment may be realized entirely by hardware, or may be realized by a program stored in an information storage medium or a program distributed via a communication interface. May be. Alternatively, it may be realized by both hardware and a program. When the processing of each unit of this embodiment is realized by both hardware and a program, a program for causing the hardware (computer) to function as each unit of this embodiment is stored in the information storage medium. .

  Further, the present invention can be applied to various game devices such as a business game device, a home game device, a portable game device, a large attraction system in which a large number of players participate, a simulator, a multimedia terminal, and a mobile phone.
