Description

Computer program

The present invention relates to a computer program that links a change in value of a financial product with a game.

As a method of personal asset management, various financial products are traded in addition to deposits and savings. Some private investors are unfamiliar with trading other financial products. On the other hand, there has been proposed a stock investment system in which an investment game screen and an actual investment screen are made the same so that investment can be made smoothly (Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-30274 A

However, the above system is limited to making the screen the same and does not fully utilize the characteristics of the game. The present invention has been made in view of such a situation. The purpose is to provide a computer program used for financial product transactions incorporating the characteristics of a game.

The computer program according to the present invention acquires a value of a financial product, converts the acquired value into a parameter of an object in a game, and displays and outputs the object in an aspect based on the parameter obtained by the conversion To the computer.

In the present invention, it is possible to grasp the status of financial products and conduct transactions smoothly.

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. Prior to the description of the embodiments, terms will be described. Financial products include securities and derivative products. The securities are, for example, stocks, bonds, real estate securities, and investment trusts. Derivative products are, for example, futures transactions and stock acquisition rights. In this specification, financial products are understood in a broad sense. That is, domestic bonds, foreign bonds, REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), foreign exchange, gold, platinum, commodity futures, investment trusts, various insurances, money trusts, foreign currency deposits, etc. are also included in the financial products. Forex margin trading (FX) and virtual currency are also included in financial products. The type of financial product refers to the type of financial product exemplified above. Each product refers to each product included in one type of financial product. For example, in stocks, each product is a brand. In FX, each product is a currency pair or open interest.

Banks, credit unions, labor unions, financial institutions such as credit unions, financial product traders such as securities companies, and commodity futures traders are collectively referred to as trading institutions.

The value of financial products is fair value. For financial instruments traded in the market, the fair value is the market price, ie the market price. For listed stocks, the fair value is the price on the listed trading market. For investment trusts, the base value is the fair value. In the exchange rate, the spot rate is the fair value.

Asset value is the total value of financial products. The index value is a numerical value of changes in the value of financial products. For example, for stocks, the Nikkei Stock Average (registered trademark) and TOPIX (Tokyo stock price index: registered trademark), which show movements of the entire market, and PER (Price Earnings Ratio: stock price earnings), which show the status of individual stocks. Rate), PBR (Price Book-value Ratio), dividend yield, and the like. In terms of foreign exchange, the dollar index, yen index, euro index, Nikkei currency index, etc. If it is an investment trust, it is QFR (QUICK FUND RISK). If it is REIT, it is the TSE REIT index (registered trademark). Note that economic indicators that affect the market price of financial products, such as Japan / Department Store / Supermarket Sales, US Employment Statistics / Unemployment Rate, etc. may be used as index values for financial products. In this case, the financial product and the economic index are associated in advance.

The game is a computer game or a card game. The objects in the game are characters and avatars that are players in the game, and cards, equipment, items, virtual currency, etc. that can be used by the player. An object parameter is a numerical value that defines the characteristics of an object, and particularly, an object parameter that increases or decreases as the game progresses. In the case of a character or an avatar, the growth value indicating the degree of growth of the object is age, height, weight, or the like. If the object is a plant, the growth value is the thickness, height, and fruit yield of the stem. The ability value indicating the ability of an object is, for example, a character or an avatar, such as durability, intelligence, and judgment. The parameter relating to the game scene is, for example, the scene weather. Object parameters are also called object parameters. A growth value indicating the degree of growth of an object is also referred to as a growth parameter. Parameters relating to game scenes are also referred to as scene parameters. The object parameter, the growth parameter, and the scene parameter are collectively referred to as a game parameter.

The computer game includes a shooting game, an action game, an adventure game, a role playing game, a puzzle game, a racing game, a simulation game, and the like.

In the following description, the game provided by the game system 100 is assumed to be a training simulation game (hereinafter referred to as “nurturing game”) that mainly grows agricultural products. In the training game, the farm products that the user trains are linked to the behavior of the financial product that the user actually owns. The association between the financial product and the agricultural product is determined in advance, or is associated when a new financial product is purchased. When the value of a financial product rises, the associated agricultural product grows. When a financial product is sold, the associated agricultural product is harvested. Conversely, when the agricultural product is harvested, the associated financial product is sold. When a financial product is purchased, the associated agricultural product is planted. When crops are planted, the associated financial products are purchased.

The crop ID column stores the crop ID of the setting target crop. The group ID column stores the group ID of the group of the setting target crop. The section-row row stores the position information of the setting target crop. The public column stores a setting as to whether or not to disclose the status of the setting target crop to other users. In the public column, “public” is stored when it is disclosed, and “non-public” is stored when it is not disclosed. The setting for publishing is not simply switching between publishing and unpublishing, but may be a setting for publishing / not publishing to a specific user. Alternatively, the setting may be made open to users who have the same financial product or the same type of financial product, but not open to other users.

Subsequently, processing performed in the game system 100 will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary procedure of initial display processing. The initial display process is a process performed after the user logs in to the game system. The game server 1 acquires the user ID of the logged-in user (step S1). The CPU 11 checks whether there is any increase or decrease in the financial product that the user ID has (step S2). The CPU 11 uses the user account information stored in the user DB 141 to make an inquiry to a trading institution, and collects information on financial products held by the user. The collected information is matched with the asset DB 145 and the open position DB 146, and the increase / decrease is determined. As a result of the check, the CPU 11 determines whether there is no change (step S3). If the CPU 11 determines that there is no change (YES in step S3), the process proceeds to step S11. If the CPU 11 determines that there is a change (NO in step S3), it determines whether or not the number of financial products has increased (step S4). If the CPU 11 determines that the number of financial products has increased (YES in step S4), it determines whether or not the increased financial products are new products (step S5). Here, the new product is not a product that has been traded in the past, but a product that is not stored in the asset DB 145 and the open interest DB 146. When the CPU 11 determines that the product is a new product (YES in step S5), the CPU 11 determines a group of the new product (step S7). The CPU 11 determines whether the determined group is an existing group (step S8). If the CPU 11 determines that the group is an existing group (YES in step S8), the crop is planted according to the quantity on a new basket in the same section with the existing group (step S9). For example, if the stock of A car was expressed in tomatoes, and a stock of B car in the same industry was purchased, a new basket in the area where the tomato corresponding to the A car stock was already planted, Tomatoes corresponding to the B car stock are planted. CPU11 performs the process after step S11. If the CPU 11 determines that the product is not an existing product (NO in step S8), the crop corresponding to the new product is planted in the new section (step S10). CPU11 performs the process after step S11. For example, when the user has only stocks, when a new FX position is set, a crop is planted in a new section. When the stock is expressed with fruit vegetables such as tomato, FX is expressed with leaf vegetables such as cabbage. The CPU 11 updates the asset DB 145 and the open interest DB 146 when executing Step S9 and Step S10. If the CPU 11 determines that the product is not a new product (NO in step S5), the crop corresponding to the product is additionally planted (step S6). For example, if the stock of A car was expressed with tomatoes, when A car stock was purchased additionally, the tomatoes were additionally planted on the parcels and strawberries where the tomatoes corresponding to the A car stock were planted . If the cocoon is already full, it will be planted on a nearby cocoon. The CPU 11 moves the process to step S11. When the CPU 11 determines that the number of financial products has not increased, that is, has decreased (NO in step S4), the transaction record is updated (step S14). CPU11 acquires the profit and loss of the financial product which is decreasing from the transaction server 3, and updates performance DB149. The CPU 11 updates the amount of the crop stored in the barn based on the updated result DB 149. The CPU 11 executes step S11 and subsequent steps. The CPU 11 updates the profit / loss (step S11). The CPU 11 acquires and updates the latest evaluation price of each product stored in the profit / loss DB 148 from the transaction server 3. The CPU 11 updates the profit / loss amount from the evaluation amount, the acquisition price, and the quantity. CPU11 updates the growth situation (step S12). The CPU 11 compares the evaluation amount of each product stored in the threshold value DB 147 with the value of the threshold value column, and determines the stage of each product. The CPU 11 acquires the crop ID of the crop corresponding to each product from the asset DB 145 and the open ball DB 146. CPU11 acquires the image of the growth condition which should be displayed from crop image master DB143 based on the stage of goods, and crop ID. CPU11 arrange | positions the acquired crop image to the ridge of the field division corresponding to the division- 畝 row | line | column of asset DB145 and open position DB146. The CPU 11 displays and outputs an image showing the field situation (step S13). The CPU 11 ends the initial display process.

18A and 18B are explanatory diagrams showing examples of game screens. 18A and 18B show changes when the number of financial products held by the user increases. It is assumed that the time has changed from FIG. 18A to FIG. 18B with the passage of time. In FIG. 18A, crops are planted only on the ridge 181. Suppose that the crop corresponds to A car stock. In FIG. 18B, crops are also planted on the ridge 182 in the same section as the ridge 181. This indicates that shares of the same industry have been purchased because they were planted on other baskets in the same section. For example, B car stock. In this way, the purchase of financial products can be expressed by an increase in crops. In FX, when it has a long position of dollar / yen, it corresponds to a change when a short position of dollar / yen is built. As shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, a balloon is displayed when the crop is mouse-clicked or over the crop. A balloon 1811 shown in FIG. 18A indicates that the crop is an A car stock. The number of shares held, the current value (evaluation price), and profit / loss are acquired from the profit / loss DB 148 and displayed. In FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B, one crop represents one unit. The unit number of A car is 100 shares. When a buy button 1812 in the balloon 1811 is clicked with a mouse or the like, the screen changes to a buy screen (not shown), and a stock can be purchased. When the sale button 1813 is clicked with a mouse or the like, the screen changes to a sale screen (not shown) and the stock can be sold.

In addition, when the passage of time is reversed, that is, when transitioning from FIG. 18B to FIG. 18A, the A car stock and the B car stock were held, the B car stock was sold, and the A car stock was still It expresses possession. In FX, when a long position and a short position of dollar / yen are held, the short position represents a settlement and a profit / loss is confirmed.

19A and 19B are explanatory diagrams showing examples of game screens. 19A and 19B show changes when the value of the financial product increases. It is assumed that the time has changed from FIG. 19A to FIG. 19B with the passage of time. The fruit shown in FIG. 19B is larger than the fruit shown in FIG. 19A, and the number increases. This expresses the increase in the value of financial products in terms of crop growth. As in FIGS. 18A and 18B, a balloon is displayed when the crop is mouse-clicked or over the crop. A balloon 191 shown in FIG. 19A indicates that the crop is an A car stock. The current value (evaluation price) and the acquisition price are acquired from the profit / loss DB 148 and displayed. When a buy button 192 in the balloon 191 is clicked with a mouse or the like, the screen changes to a buy screen (not shown), and a stock can be purchased. When the sale button 193 is clicked with a mouse or the like, the screen changes to a sale screen (not shown) and the stock can be sold.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure for crop operation processing. The crop operation process is a process performed when the user operates a crop in the field. The CPU 11 determines whether or not the user has harvested the crop (step S21). When it is determined that the user has harvested the crop (YES in step S21), the CPU 11 specifies the financial product that has been harvested (step S22). CPU11 outputs the condition setting screen which sets the transaction conditions of the specified goods (step S23). On the condition setting screen, settings such as limit price or success, setting of transaction price in the case of limit price, etc. are performed. CPU11 acquires transaction conditions (Step S24). The CPU 11 outputs a sell or settlement order to the transaction server 3 (step S25). If the financial product is a spot transaction, it is a selling order, and if it is a futures transaction, it is a settlement order. The CPU 11 updates the display to indicate the state of the field after cutting (step S26). CPU11 complete | finishes crop operation processing. When it is determined that the user has not cut the crop (NO in step S21), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the user has made a cropping operation (step S27). When it is determined that the user has made a cropping operation (YES in step S27), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the existing crop is additionally planted (step S28). When it is determined that the existing crop is planted (YES in step S28), the CPU 11 specifies a financial product corresponding to the crop (step S29). CPU11 outputs the condition setting screen which sets the transaction conditions of the specified goods (step S30). On the condition setting screen, settings such as limit price or success, setting of transaction price in the case of limit price, etc. are performed. CPU11 acquires transaction conditions (Step S31). The CPU 11 outputs the buy or position / make to the transaction server 3 (step S32). If the financial instrument is a spot transaction, it is a buy order, and if it is a futures transaction, it is a position / make. The CPU 11 executes step S26 and subsequent steps. If the CPU 11 determines that it is not an additional crop of existing crops (NO in step S28), it outputs a selection screen for selecting the type of financial product (step S33). The CPU 11 acquires the type selected by the user, redirects to a transaction screen corresponding to the type (step S34), and ends the crop operation process. When the CPU 11 determines that the user does not perform the planting operation (NO in step S27), the CPU 11 specifies a product corresponding to the operation target crop (step S35). The CPU 11 reads out the profit / loss information of the specified product from the profit / loss DB 148 and outputs it (step S36). CPU11 complete | finishes crop operation processing. A crop cutting operation is an example in which an instruction to decrease a parameter is issued. A sell or settlement order is an example of an order to sell a financial instrument. The planting operation is an example in which an instruction for increasing a parameter is issued. A buy or position / make order is an example of an order to purchase a financial product.

21A and 21B are explanatory diagrams showing examples of game screens. FIG. 21A and FIG. 21B express that profit has been generated by selling or settlement of financial products. It is assumed that the time has changed from FIG. 21A to FIG. 21B with the passage of time. In FIG. 21A, the crop planted on the straw 211 is harvested in FIG. 21B. On the other hand, in FIG. 21A, only an empty container 213 is displayed in the barn 212, whereas the barn 212 in FIG. 21B displays a plurality of containers 213 in which crops are stored. This change expresses profits from the sale or settlement of financial products.

In the present embodiment, the following effects are obtained. The change in the value of financial products held by users is linked to the growing situation of crops in the growing game for growing agricultural products. Thereby, the user can easily check the change in the value of the financial product. In addition, it is possible to display details of financial product transactions and profits and losses by operating crops. As a result, the user can intuitively trade financial products. Further, since the amount of the crop stored in the barn is changed based on the transaction result, the user can intuitively grasp the change in profit obtained by the financial product transaction.

The following functions can be added to the above embodiment.

Additional function 1
This additional function links the status of various indicators that affect the value fluctuations of financial products with game scene parameters. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the scene parameter setting process. The scene parameter setting process is executed between step S12 and step S13 in the initial display process, for example. CPU11 acquires the condition of the index memorized by index DB14B from transaction server 3 after execution of Step S12 (Step S41). The CPU 11 selects a scene parameter stored in the scene variable DB 14C (step S42). The CPU 11 sets the value of the scene parameter based on the status of the index corresponding to the selected scene parameter (step S43). The CPU 11 sets the game scene according to the scene parameters. For example, when the yen index is less than the previous day (one step), the weather in the section where the crop corresponding to FX is planted is rainy. When the Nikkei average stock price is 250 yen higher than the previous day (2 steps), the temperature of the plot where the crop corresponding to the stock is planted is slightly lower than normal. The CPU 11 determines whether there is an unprocessed scene parameter (step S44). If the CPU 11 determines that there is an unprocessed scene parameter (YES in step S44), the process returns to step S42. If the CPU 11 determines that there are no unprocessed scene parameters (NO in step S44), the CPU 11 returns to the initial display process and executes step S13 and subsequent steps. This additional function makes it possible for the user to intuitively grasp the market conditions and the like.

FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a game screen. FIG. 23 shows the weather on the farm.

Sections

231 and 232 are raining. In contrast, sections 233 to 236 are clear. For example, the financial products corresponding to the crops planted in the

sections

231 and 232 indicate that there is an indication that the value decreases in general. On the other hand, regarding the financial products corresponding to the crops planted in the sections 233 to 236, it is shown that there is a sign that the value increases in general. In this way, it is possible to express what influences the value fluctuation of a plurality of financial products, such as a statistical index, by the situation of the game. As shown in FIG. 23, the type of financial product corresponding to each section may be displayed. In the example of FIG. 23, it shows that it corresponds to the

sections

231 and 232 financial stock. The

sections

233 and 234 correspond to automobile stocks, and the

sections

235 and 236 correspond to virtual currencies.

Additional function 2
This additional function is a guide output function. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the guidance output process. CPU11 acquires user ID (step S51). CPU11 acquires the asset and open interest which a user holds based on user ID (Step S52). The CPU 11 generates a menu (step S53). For example, for a user who does not have a position, a guide for beginners regarding FX and commodity futures is displayed at the top. For users who have not settled open interest for a long period of time, a guide for determining profit and loss and an explanatory guide for follow-up are displayed at the top. The CPU 11 outputs a menu screen (step S54). CPU11 acquires the menu which the user selected (step S55). The CPU 11 determines whether the acquired menu is finished (step S56). If the CPU 11 determines that the acquired menu is not finished (NO in step S56), the CPU 11 acquires a guide corresponding to the acquired menu (step S57). CPU11 outputs a guide (step S58) and returns a process to step S54. If the CPU 11 determines that the acquired menu is complete (YES in step S56), the CPU 11 ends the guide output process. This additional function allows the user to deepen knowledge about financial products. Note that it is desirable that the characters appearing in the game explain the guide in order to ensure affinity with the game.

Additional function 3
This additional function is a notification function. FIG. 25 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary procedure of notification processing. CPU11 acquires user ID (step S71). CPU11 acquires the threshold value made into notification conditions (step S72). For example, the threshold value is an upper limit value string or a lower limit value of the threshold value DB 147. The CPU 11 selects one of the acquired threshold values (step S73). CPU11 acquires the market price information of goods corresponding to the selected threshold (Step S74). The market price information is, for example, an evaluation price. The CPU 11 determines whether the market price information satisfies a threshold condition (step S75). When the CPU 11 determines that the market price information satisfies the threshold condition (YES in step S75), the CPU 11 performs notification (step S76). For example, when the US dollar / yen exchange rate is lower than the threshold and the yen is higher than the threshold, the user is notified of a short position of US dollar / yen. If the CPU 11 determines that the market price information does not satisfy the threshold condition (NO in step S75), the process proceeds to step S77. The CPU 11 determines whether there is an unprocessed threshold (step S77). If the CPU 11 determines that there is an unprocessed threshold (YES in step S77), the process returns to step S73. If the CPU 11 determines that there is no unprocessed threshold value (NO in step S77), the notification process ends. With this additional function, it is possible to suppress the user from missing the transaction timing. As an additional function, in addition to the above-described functions, the user may be notified of the current state of profit and loss and the actual result of confirmed profit and loss by e-mail, for example, once a week.

Additional function 4
This additional function is a public setting function. Each user can set whether or not to disclose his / her field situation to other users. FIG. 26 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the procedure of the public setting process. CPU11 acquires user ID (step S81). CPU11 acquires the asset and open interest which a user holds based on user ID (Step S82). The CPU 11 generates a setting screen (step S83). The setting screen is a screen that can be set to be public or private for each section and each tile. The CPU 11 outputs the generated setting screen (step S84). The CPU 11 acquires a command from the user (step S85). The CPU 11 determines whether or not the acquired command is a public setting (step S86). If the CPU 11 determines that the acquired command is a public setting (YES in step S86), the CPU 11 stores the setting in the public setting DB 14D (step S87), and ends the public setting process. If the CPU 11 determines that the acquired command is not public setting (NO in step S86), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the command is finished (step S88). If the CPU 11 determines that the acquired command is complete (YES in step S88), the setting is discarded and the public setting process is terminated. If the CPU 11 determines that the acquired command is not complete (NO in step S88), the process returns to step S83. With this additional function, each user can publish only the portion of his field that he / she wishes to publish to other users.
