Item Assignment Section] 6 1 b is a hypothetically assigned item to the player who has reached the predetermined condition (here, 'the item called drag ο nchip') and (15) (15) 1250886 increase or decrease the point that the player imaginarily retains The number, the identification information of the player and the number of points corresponding to the player is stored in the segment memory unit 1 6 2 a. Further, the player's imaginary number of points is also a kind of item similar to the dragon coin. Here, specifically Explain the method of adding and subtracting points and the conditions for props. In the game, when the player is playing the card, the number of points that the player imaginarily holds is added to the predetermined number, and when the player shoots, the points are reduced. For example, in the case of a player's card, the number of points for the card is 0 0 〇, and the number of points is added at a rate of 2 0. When the player shoots, the number of points for the shot is 1 〇〇 〇 Point, the number of points is reduced by the ratio of 0 points. When the number of points is more than 〇〇〇, the imaginary 垴 gives three dragon coins. The score judgment unit] 6 1 C is at the end of the game. Presumably held by the player as a point stick The number of rankings is determined by the ranking. Among them, when the game starts, the number of points (called the number of origins) held by the player as a point bar is the same. The number of origins is, for example, 2,0 0 0. After the item moving unit 1 6 1 d determines the ranking by the result judging unit 〖6 丨 c, the item is imaginarily held by the player according to the judgment result of the item providing unit 16 ] b, and the predetermined number is divided into the player. Specifically, the four-bit player moves the dragon coin to one player. Further, the item moving unit 16 6 d updates the number of dragon coins in the segment memory unit 62 a. The segment position decision 611 61e determines the segment of the intensity level displayed by the player on the game based on the number of items that the player imaginarily holds. Hereinafter, the method for determining the specific segment position will be described using FIG. 5. (a) shows the chart of the conditions for the player's -19-(16) (16) 1250886 by the segment determination unit]6 I e in the game's intensity level (tenth to first). For example, the player who first played the game has a rank of ten. For example When the number of points forms from 100 to 1 99, the segment becomes nine. Then, with the increase (or decrease) of the number of points, the segment is raised (or decreased), for example, when the number of dots is formed at 9 0 0 to 9 9 9 The segment becomes the first level. When the number of points is more than 1 000, the segment becomes the first segment. Figure 5 (b) shows the intensity level of the player shown in the game by the segment determination unit 6 I e In the example of the chart of the condition of the paragraph (the first stage to the eighth part), as described above, the item providing unit 6] b is a player who has a number of points of 1 〇 0 0 or more, and imaginatively gives three dragon coins. Then, by the item moving unit 16′ d, according to the determination result of the achievement determining unit 1 6 1 c, the result of the dragon coin imaginarily held by the player is moved between the players, and the dragon coin that the player imaginarily holds The quantity is changed and the update is stored in the segment memory section 62a. Then, for example, when the number of dragon coins is 5 or more and 10 or less, the segment position is two segments. Then, as the number of dragon coins increases (or decreases), the segment position rises (or falls). When the number of dragon coins forms more than 46, the segment position is eight segments. Furthermore, when the player is in the state of the first stage, the result of the game is reduced to one level when the number of dragon coins is less than one, that is, the stage determining unit 1 6 1 e is based on the item giving unit 1 6 1 b The number of points determined and the number of items determined by the item providing unit 1 6 1 b and the item moving unit 6 1 d are referred to the segment table shown in FIG. 5 to determine the relevant segment. Timer]6] f is the time limit from the time when the card is touched to the time limit of the card -20- (17) The remaining time of the boarding time TA made by 1250886 is limited to the time of the opening time ' 'game progress control unit 1 6 ] a accept the player through the touch panel] 1 a enter the round card to select the operator. Here, the timer 16 f reads the player's segment by the segment memory 'section' 6 2 a, and then the card time memory unit 6 2 b reads the card corresponding to the segment that has been read. Time TA, to set the carding time TA. The extension request receiving unit 1 6 1 g is based on the signal from the touch panel 1a, and the long-term consideration button (refer to FIG. 18), which will be described later on the display 11, is pressed as the card opening time extension request. The signal is accepted by the receiver. The extension processing unit 1 6 1 h accepts the touch panel of the player at least during the carding time T A (here, within 1 second from the time point of the card)! The long time of a considers the pressing of the button (by extending the request accepting unit) 6 ] g the opening time requirement), and determines whether the number of extended opening time TA is the predetermined number of times (here, this time) (it is not extended once) "When the condition is reached, the acceptor of the extension of the permitting time TA is required. When the permission acceptance request is extended, the extension processing unit 16 6 h is the remaining time of the rounding time 'TA measured by the timer 1 6 1 f plus a predetermined extension Δ τ (for example, 5 seconds) )By. The % segment memory unit 1 62a stores the number of items and the identification information corresponding to the player position. Here, when the game is started, the game progress control unit 1 61 a reads the number of the items corresponding to the player's identification information and the segment position from the player information storage unit 3 6 2 a of the center server device 3 described later.

First, the determination of whether or not the card is generated is performed by the timer 16 6 f. (Step S201). When it is determined that the card is not generated (NO in step S2〇1), the processing is in the standby state. When it is determined that the card is generated (YES in step S201), by the timer i6if, the counter Ts of the remaining time for counting the carding time TA is set to the initial 値τ 1 rounding time TA) (step S 2 03) ). Then, by extending the processing unit 1 6 1 ]], the determination as to whether or not the closing is completed is performed (step S 2 0 5 ). When it is determined that the closing of the card is completed (YES in step S 2 0 5), the process is reversed, and when it is determined that the card is not finished (N 0 in step S 2 0 5), the display is not long. It is determined whether or not the button is -38-(35) 1250886, and the flag S that has been pressed in each match is judged to be 1 (step S 2 0 7 ). When it is determined that the flag S is 1 (in the case S 2 0 7 is Y E S ), the processing proceeds to step S 2 5 . When it is determined that the flag S is not (is 〇) (N 0 in step S 2 07), the long-term consideration button is displayed on the display 1 by extending the processing unit 6 1 h (step S 2 0 9 ), by extending the request accepting unit]6] g, it is determined whether or not the button has been pressed for a long time (step S 2 1 1 ).

When it is determined that the button is not pressed (when step S 2 1 1 is N〇), the process proceeds to step S 2 15 , and when it is determined to be long, the case where the button has been pressed is considered (in the step) S2]] is YES), by extending the processing unit 1 6 ] h, the flag S is set to 1 (step S 2 1 3 ), and the counter Ts is accumulated by the extension time Δ T (step S2 15).

When the processing of step S 2 1 4 ends, the case where step S 2 0 7 is YES, or the case where step S 2 Π is N ,, the counter Ts is 藉 by the timer 1 6 1 f Only decrement 1 (step S 2 ] 5 ). Then, by the timer]6].f, the determination as to whether or not the counter Ts is 0 or less is performed (step S2 17). When it is determined that the counter Ts is not equal to or less than 0 (larger than 0) (NO in step S2), the process returns to step S2 0 5, and the process is repeated to step S 2 by step S 2 0 5 . Processing of 1 5 . When it is determined that the counter Ts is equal to or less than 0 (in step S2, 7 is YES), the control unit 6 1 a is played by the game, and the card is discarded (step S 2 1 9 ), and the processing is switched back. Fig. 18 is an example of a flow of processing by the center server device 3 - 39 - (36) 1250886. First, the segment determining unit 1 6 1 e initializes the number of participating terminals RN to 〇, and initializes the counter TM of the reset time LT set by the timer 1 6 1 f to 0 (step S 3 01). ). Next, it is determined whether or not the participation in the competition game is accepted by the participation accepting unit 3 6 a) by the client terminal device (step S 3 0 3 ).

When the participation in the competition game is not accepted (NO in step S3 0 3), the participating terminal number counting unit 361e decrements the counter TM by only 1 (step S305), and performs the counter TM system. Whether it is the determination of the reset time LT or more (step S307). When it is determined that the non-reset time LT (less than the reset time LT) is equal to or greater than (the step S 3 0 7 is N〇), the processing returns to the step S 3 0 3 . When it is determined that the reset time L T or more (Y E S in step S 3 0 7), the processing proceeds to step S 3 1 9 . When the participation in the competition game is accepted (in step S3 0 3 Μ YES), the combination generating unit 3 6 1 b receives the participation receiving unit 3 6 1 a in step S 3 0 3 . The participating terminal device of the participating client terminal device 1] is inserted into a combination of tournaments constituting the competition game (step S 3 0 9 ). Then, the number of participating terminals RN is reduced by only 1 by the number of participating terminal counts 3 6 1 e (step S 3 1 1 ), and it is determined whether or not the number of participating terminals RN is equal to or greater than the maximum number of participating terminals RNM (step S3). 1 3 ). When it is determined that the number of participating terminals RN is not the maximum number of participating terminals RN Μ or more (less than the maximum number of participating terminals RN Μ ) (in step S 3 ) 3 is Ν 0 ), the participating terminal count unit 3 6 ] e, the counter is only decremented] (step S 3 1 5 ), and whether the counter TM is determined to be a weight of -40 (37) (37) 1250886 is determined by the time LT or more (step $3] 7). When it is judged that it is equal to or less than the non-reset time LT (less than the reset time LT) (NO in step S3), the processing returns to step S3 0 3 . When it is determined that the reset time LT or more (YES in step S3), the process proceeds to step S3 1 9 ° when step S 3 0 7 is YES, or YES in step S317. When the combination generating unit 3 6 ] b, the participating terminal device 1 r that is insufficiently divided is assumed to accept the operation of the cpu player 'the terminal device 1 ' (step S 3 1 9 ), and the process proceeds to the step. S 3 2 1 ° When it is determined that the number of participating terminals RN is greater than the maximum number of participating terminals RNM (YES in step S3) 7 or when the processing of step S3] 9 is completed, the competition begins. The part 3 6 ] c ' instructs to start the first round of the competition game for the participating terminal device h (step s 3 2 1 ). Then, by the competition end portion 3 6 1 d, it is determined whether or not the tenth limit time TL of the first round competition time has elapsed (step S 3 2 3 ). When it is determined that it has not passed [〇] minutes (N 0 in step S 3 2 3 ), the processing is in a standby state. When it is determined that the elapsed time has elapsed (YES in step S3 2 3), the competing terminal device 1 r instructs the participating terminal device 1 r to end the first round of the competition (step S 3 25). ). Secondly, 'by the end of the battle, 3 6 1 d, by the participating terminal device】]. Receive the game result of the first round of the match (step S 3 2 7 ), in accordance with the superiority of the progress of the match game at the end time of the match Determining the winner's participation terminal device 1 r, and transmitting the winning and losing information to the Mengjia terminal device] r (step S 3 2 9 ). Then, by combining the generating unit 3 6 1 b, it is determined that the combination of the third-41-(38) (38) 1250886 match-winning match in the second round, by the match start part 3 6 ] c, The participation terminal device rr indicates that the competition game for the second round match is started (step S 3 3 1 ). Next, by the end of the match, the match time T L of the match time of the first turn is judged to have passed (step S 3 3 3 ). When it is determined that 10 minutes have not elapsed (N 0 in step S 3 3 3), the processing is in a standby state. When it is determined that it has passed 1 minute (YES in step S3 3 3), the competition end unit 3 6 ] d instructs the participating terminal device 1 r to end the second round competition (step S 3 3 5) ). Next, by the participating terminal device 3r, the participating terminal device receives the result of the second round of the match game (step S3 3 7), and the superiority of the progress of the match game at the time of the end of the match The participating terminal device 1 r is determined, and the winning and losing information is transmitted to the participating terminal device 1 r (step S 3 3 9 ). Then, by the combination generation unit 3 6 1 b, the combination of the winner of the second round match in the third round match (final) is determined, and the competition start unit 36] c instructs the participating terminal device lr to start the final match. Game (step S 3 4 1 ). Next, by the competition end portion 361d, the participating terminal device 1r ends the competition game, and determines whether or not the game result is received (step S3 4 3 ). When it is determined that the game result has not been received (in step S3, 4 3 is Ν Ο), the processing is in a standby state. When it is determined that the game result is received (YES in step S 3 4 3), the game end result is used to determine the winner's participating terminal device]r by the game end unit 3 6 1 d, and the win/loss information is transmitted to Participate in the terminal device]r (step S3C), and end at -42-(39) 1250886. Fig. 9 is an example of a screen shot of the tournament generation status display screen of the display 1 of the client terminal device 1 in the step S] 0 of the flow chart shown in Fig. 6 . In the tournament generation status display screen 600, the display shows that there is a : in the approximate central portion, when the combination of the tournaments is completed, the number of matches shown in the first round of the game is displayed, and the game number display unit 60] The remaining time display unit 602 for displaying the remaining time of the engagement time of the competition game (that is, the remaining time of the time limit TL) is displayed on the upper side; the sash of the tournament constituting the competition game is displayed on the left and right sides of the game number display unit 601.

This is a change in the display of " ς . , "2", "1" "0". 5 j, 4", 2" Long-term consideration of the button system is made to accept the request from the hand-to-hand card to the extension. Further, in the upper left corner of the screen, the battle surface 62 0 ' is displayed: the remaining time display 62 6 indicating the remaining time of the competition game. Here, in the remaining time of 6 2 6 _ $ "Q 7 . 5 9 · ° 2", it can be seen that there is more than 7 minutes and 39 seconds between the remaining days. Since the remaining time display portion 62 6 displays the remaining time of the competition game, the player can plan to defeat the strategy of entering the next round match in response to the remaining time. For example, when the remaining time is within 1 minute and is now the first place, it is possible to plan a fast card in order to secure the first place, or to focus on the strategy of not firing. Fig. 2 2 is an example of a screen image displayed on the display screen of the display of the client terminal device 1 in the case where the flow S1 1 5 is the winner in the case of the flow. On the victor display screen 6 3 0 'in the center of the screen, the victor's winner display unit 633 is displayed. At the upper end of the winner display unit 633, the message unit 6 3 2 ’ is displayed in the message unit 632 to display the “first round match break (winning)”, and it is confirmed that the player is the winner of the first round match. -46- (43) 1250886 Fig. 2 3 is an example of a screen image displayed on the display result display screen of the display screen of the client terminal device 1 when the step S Π 5 of the flow shown in Fig. 6 is a winner. . On the competition result display screen 64 0, the game display unit 6 4 1 indicating the result of the first round of the game at the center of the screen is displayed, and the upper side of the match number display unit 641 is displayed to the next. The remaining time display unit 6 4 2 of the remaining time until the start of the round match; and the sash display unit 643 of the sash of the tournament constituting the competition game on the left and right sides of the match number display unit 64 1 . Further, in the sash display unit 643, φ indicates that the victor display unit 6 4 3 a of the victors of the competition and the player display unit 64 3 b of the player who plays the game in the client terminal device 1 . By referring to the winner display unit 64 3 a and the player display unit 64 3 b, it is possible to confirm the player's name and the position of the opponent who played in the next round match (the second round match). Here, the names and positions of the opponents who play in the second round match are "Eight Days of the Eve 2:7", "Yubu U々" and "7" 'K' 8". In addition, here, the player's name is "Huanglong", which means "8-segment". Fig. 2 is an example of a screen image displayed on the display screen of the display 1 of the client terminal device when the step S 1 1 5 of the flow shown in Fig. 16 is the winner. On the competition result display screen 650, similarly to Fig. 23, the match number display unit 653, the remaining time display unit 652 and the sash display unit 635 are displayed. Further, the sash display unit 635 displays the winner display unit 653a and the player display unit 635b. In the game number display unit 65 1, "decision battle (final)" is displayed, and -47-(44) (44) 1250886 shows the result of the second round match, and the next round match is known as the final. By referring to the winner display unit 6 5 3 a and the player display unit 6 5 3 b, it is possible to confirm the player name and the position of the opponent who played the match in the next round match (final). Fig. 2 is an example of a screen image displayed on the display screen of the client terminal device 1 when the step S1] 5 of the flow shown in Fig. 16 is a loser. On the continuation input screen 6 6 0, the following is displayed: the number of matches of the results of the first round of the game in the center of the screen (the loser) 6 6 1 ; and the number of matches display unit 6-1 Whether the side input system continues the competition game or not continues the display unit 662. The continuation display unit 6 62 displays the continuation button 6 6 2 a pressed when the competition game is continued, and the end button 6 62b pressed when the competition game is ended. The player can use the system to continue to input the screen 6 6 0, confirm the result of the competition, and whether the input is to continue the battle game, as described above, because the match end portion 3 6 1 d, according to the finals (to the finals) The time limit for the competition time (in this case, respectively) for each game of the second round of the game, the participation terminal device 1 r instructs the end of the match, and the match game at the end of the match The superiority of the progress status (here, the number of points held) determines the participation terminal device r of the victor, so that the competition time can be quickly and smoothly performed by appropriately setting the time limit for the competition time. In particular, in the case of online games, in the case of a tournament-style mahjong game-like time-limited battle game, there will be a situation of -48-(45) 1250886 games between players who are far apart, in such a case, Since it is difficult to grasp the situation of the participating players, etc., as described above, the effect of the game that can be quickly and smoothly played is greatly affected. That is, when in the online game, the mahjong game-like battle-free game in which the mode is performed, as described above, it is possible to prevent the player from comfortably enjoying the tournament-type battle game while waiting for each match in the tournament. . In addition, the participation terminal number counting unit 3 6 1 e is used to participate in the case where the RN participates in the maximum number of participating terminals RMN of the client terminal device that constitutes the tournament of the competition game, or changes from the participating terminal. When the time point has elapsed for a predetermined period of time (when H is limited, the number of participating terminals RN is reset to 0, and the reset point is used to participate in the terminal device) to start the game of the match, so the participation accepting unit 3 6 1 a accepts The waiting time for participating in the competition game until the initial competition game is suppressed to be less than or equal to a predetermined time (=, for example, 60 seconds after the reset), the competition game can be performed more quickly. And, by combining the generation unit 3 6 1 b, When the number of participating terminals is reset, the combination of the tournaments in which the participating terminal devices 1 r are formed into the competition game is performed again. Therefore, when the participation in the game is accepted, the combination of the tournaments can be configured. In this case, the competition game is performed comfortably. Further, since the interval setting unit 3 6 1 f is used, the time LT is reset in response to the day, so the increase in the number of participating terminals is slow (accepted by The time of the participation frequency of the home is low, the time TL is limited to 60 seconds), and the participation time of the number of participating terminals RN is fast (the number of the number of terminals is RN 0 TL for the tournament due to the number of terminals) It can be opened by the instruction LT, RN has been inserted into the directional war game for the date of the game set from the date (from the -49- (46) (46) 1250886 player's participation frequency is high) (for example, holiday), When the limited time TL is set to be short (30 seconds), the waiting time from the acceptance of the participation in the competition game to the instruction to start the competition game can be further shortened, and the competition game can be performed more quickly. In addition, when the number of participating terminals RN is less than the maximum number of participating terminals RNM, the client terminal device 1 that imaginatively accepts the operation of the CPU player is assigned as the participating terminal of the insufficient portion by the combination generating unit 3 6 1 b. In the case of the device 1 r, the number of the maximum number of participating terminals RMN in the total number of participating terminal terminals RN and the client terminal device 1 constituting the competition game (accepting the participation of the same number of players as the maximum number of participating terminals RN Μ) In the same situation, the game can be played without giving the player a sense of difference. In addition, by the combination generating unit 3 6 1 b, the number of participating terminal devices 1 r to be placed in each combination of the tournaments constituting the competition game is substantially identical to each other, and the participating terminal device r is inserted to constitute a battle. In the case where the number of participating terminals RN is less than the maximum number of participating terminals RNM, the number of participating terminal devices 1 r as the insufficient part of the game corresponds to the number of the client terminal devices 1 that imaginarily accept the operation of the CPU player. The agreement is roughly the same, so that the players participating in the tournament play the game under roughly the same conditions. In addition, since the competition end time is set to 3 6 1 d, the time limit for the competition time is not set for the final game, and the time when the game progress state of the competition game is in a predetermined state (here, the time point at which the east wind circle ends) is For the participating terminal device] r indicates the end of the game, so the player can fully excel in the battle of the most important finals of -50-(47) (47)1250886, which enhances the fun of the game. Further, since the winner of the number of persons set by the victor number setting unit 3 6 1 g is determined, the change of the competition game is made more colorful and interesting. For example, in a game such as a mahjong game, a game played by a player of 4 players, a player who enters the next round of the game in the first 2 games, and a player who plays the game in the case of entering only the first name. Will change 'so the number of players entering the next round of the game by setting, @大{{The change in the game of battle has become more colorful and interesting. Further, since the game enters the fT control unit 1 6 1 a ' to play the game based on the predetermined time period from the time point of the touch card to the time limit for the card, the mahjong game is played more quickly. Further, since the control unit '16' a is played by the game, the match game is performed based on the carding time TA corresponding to the rank indicating the level of the player, so when the appropriate carding time TA is set in accordance with the position, the player can comfortably and quickly Play the game in the ground. Further, since the timer 16 1 1 f is used, it is estimated that the higher the segment position, the shorter the carding time TA is, and the shorter the carding time τα is set, so that the game can be played quickly and smoothly. In addition, for each game, the predetermined number of times (here, the number of times) is accepted, and the operation information from the participation time of the participating terminal device 1 r is extended (the operation information of pressing the button TOB is considered for a long time) The boarding time TA is only extended by a predetermined time (here, 5 seconds), so that the progress of the game of the game is not greatly hindered, and the player can be given the time to decide the card. -51 ^ (48) (48) 1250886 Furthermore, the present invention can be modified as follows. (A) In the present embodiment, the case where the competition game is a mahjong game has been described, but it may be a form of another battle game. For example, it may be a form of a time-limited battle game (for example, a soccer game simulating a soccer game, a rugby game simulating a rugby game, etc.) in which a competition game of a competition time is set in advance, or may be difficult to set in the nature of the game. There is no time-limited battle game for the battle time game (for example, a chess game that simulates Go, a chess game that simulates chess, a chess game that simulates chess, a simulated playing card, a Japanese domino, a card game of flower cards, a simulated tennis game). The form of billiards, volleyball, badminton sports games, etc. (B) In the present embodiment, the case where the client terminal device is communicably connected to the center server device 3 via the store server device 2 has been described. However, the client terminal device 1 may be communicably connected to the center servo. The form of the device 3. In this case, the center server device 3 or the client terminal device 1 is required to perform an exchange process of the operation information between the client terminal devices 1. (C) In the present embodiment, the case where the tournament is composed of three rounds of players of 64 players is described, but the tournament may be in other forms. For example, it may be a competition game played by a player of two players, and the tournament is constituted by a four-round match composed of players of 16 players. (D) In the present embodiment, the case where the competition end portion 3 6 1 d does not set the time limit for the competition time is described, but the match end portion 3 6 ] d may be set for the finals more than other games. The long limit is -52 - (49) (49) 1250886 as the form of the match time. For example, as in the present embodiment, the time limit for the first round match and the second round match is set to 10 minutes, and the limit time for the final is set to 20 minutes. In this case, since the tournament is ended at the predetermined set time limit, the convenience is improved for the player who has time limit (e.g., predetermined full). (E) In the present embodiment, the case where the number of winners of the 1 combination is set to one person is described in the case where the number of winners setting unit 3 6 g is set to be one, but the number of winners setting unit 3 6 1 g may be used. The number of the winners of the combination is set to two or more. For example, in the mahjong game of the present embodiment, the number of the winners of the combination may be set to two in the first round and the second round, and one in the final. In this case, the tournament of the three-round tournament formed by the players of 16 players is less likely to be formed in a short period of time than the present embodiment. (F) In the present embodiment, the case where the function unit such as the game control unit 16 a is provided in the client terminal device 1 has been described. However, the game may be a function unit such as the control unit 1 1 1 a. It is set in the form of the central server device 3. (Industrial Applicability) According to the game management device (game management method and game management program) of the present invention, the time limit for the battle time set in advance for each game to the quasi-final is limited. By participating in the terminal device's instruction to end the match, and determining the winner's participation in the terminal device in response to the superiority of the battle game at the end of the match-53-(50) 1250886, the match is set appropriately. The time limit is limited, and the game can be played quickly and smoothly.
