DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a game method and apparatus using a network terminal according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a system including a network terminal used in the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a system including a network terminal includes a game server 1, the Internet 2, and a GW (gateway).
3, a mobile phone network 4, base stations 5 (5-1 to 5-n), and mobile phones 6 (6-1 to 6-m).

The game server 1 is a server to which the present invention is applied, and provides a game to a player who owns the mobile phone 6. Communication between the game server 1 and the mobile phone 6 is performed by a GW 3 connecting the mobile phone network 4 and the Internet 2.
Done through.

In this configuration example, the mobile phone 6 is used as a network terminal. However, it is not always necessary to use the mobile phone 6, but a network terminal such as a PC (personal computer) or a portable information terminal is used. You may do so. In this case, the game server 1 determines the type of the network terminal and provides information in a form according to the type. However, the information contents (games) provided by the game server 1 are all the same.

The information provided from the game server 1 to the mobile phone 6 does not necessarily need to pass through the Internet 2, and the game server 1 may be directly connected to another network such as the mobile phone network 4. .

Next, a game provided by the game server 1 will be described. The games provided by the game server 1 include:
The player registers a character to be his / her alter ego in the game server 1, and makes this character and a character registered by another player fight, or judges compatibility between the two. Further, when the player confirms the state of the character, the fortune-telling element such as confirming the player's "luck" based on the points held by the character is also included.

Here, referring to FIG. 2, game server 1
The outline of the game provided by is described. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the game.

As shown in FIG.
A public area 11 and a private area 12 are formed.
However, the public area 11 and the private area 12 are conceptual ones formed by software, and the game server 1 itself is a general-purpose computer device. In addition,
Although omitted in the following description, all operations performed by the player 7A and the player 7B are performed from the mobile phone 6.

In the open area 11, an M character (my character) 13A registered by the player 7A,
An M character 13B registered by B exists. In the closed area 12, there are a T character (training character) 14A registered by the player 7A and a T character 14B registered by the player 7B.

The M character 13A battles with the M character 13B. This battle is performed, for example, when the player 7A applies for a battle to the M character 13B. That is, the existence of the M character 13B is known to the player 7A. Similarly, the player 7B can apply for a battle with the M character 13A, and in this case, the M character 13A and the M character 13B also battle. In addition, M
The battle between the character 13A and the M character 13B may be automatically performed by the game server 1.

The M character 13A and the M character 13B
Is determined to be compatible with each other, and the result is
A, it is possible for the player 7B to check.

The T character 14A is a character that can be arbitrarily registered by the player 7A.
B doesn't know. The role of the T character 14A is to be a partner who performs a battle (training) with the M character 13A and judges compatibility with the M character 13A.
Similarly, the T character 14B is arbitrarily registered by the player 7B, and performs battle and compatibility determination with the M character 13B.

Although the above description has been made on the assumption that the number of players is two, in practice, many players register M characters and perform the above-described operations between the M characters.

Next, the details of the game provided by the game server 1 will be described focusing on the player's viewpoint. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flow of transition of a display screen of the mobile phone 6 operated by a player. In FIG. 3, the transition of the display screen is indicated by an arrow, but the operation of the player (when the display on the mobile phone 6 is performed by a web browser, the “return” button is pressed). , A transition in the opposite direction is also possible.

First, a GAME TOP (top page in the game) 100 is displayed on the mobile phone 6 of the player who participates in the game for the first time. This GAME
The TOP 100 describes guidance related to the game and the like. Next, a name input screen 101 for inputting the name of the my character to be registered is displayed. When the player inputs the name of my character, a type search screen 102 for searching for the type of my character is displayed. When predetermined search conditions (search conditions will be described later) are input to the type search screen 102, a search result screen 103 is displayed. When a player selects a desired character from the search result, an image of the character is confirmed. A possible MC (My Character) image confirmation screen 104 is displayed.

On the other hand, the mobile phone 6 of the player who has participated in the game for the second time or later is first provided with the GAME TOP 1
05 is displayed. The GAME TOP 105 is, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 (a)
If the GAME TOP 105 shown in (1) cannot be displayed on one screen of the mobile phone 6, the entire display can be confirmed by changing the display portion by a scroll operation of the player.

In the GAME TOP shown in FIG.
05 shows the image 200 of the registered my character. The image 200 is a still image or a moving image (when the mobile phone 6 corresponds to a moving image). Also,
Along with the display of the image 200, music may be sounded as the theme song of the character. GAM
In the E TOP 105, in addition to the image 200, the result 201 of a battle with a my character or the like registered by another player is displayed.
Further, a fortune 202 and an operation command 203 determined based on the points held by the my character are displayed.

The score 201 represents a score of a battle with a my character registered by another player or a character registered in advance in the game server 1. This battle is started by the operation of the player and the game server 1
May start automatically.

The fortune 202 is determined by the points held by the My character, and includes, for example, "love luck", "gold luck", "work luck", and total luck that combines these. In this case, the my character has points corresponding to “love luck”, “gold luck”, and “work luck”, respectively. These points compete for each other in a battle with another my character. Points are added when the battle is won, and subtracted when the battle is lost.

The operation command 203 is a GAME TOP
105 is a command for instructing movement to another page (screen) from the game 105, and from the GAME TOP 105,
The user can move to an MC (my character) setting screen 106, a training mode screen 107, a battle mode screen 108, and the like.

As described above, the fortune 202 is determined based on the points possessed by the My character, and the points change as a result of the battle. And
The battle may be automatically performed by the game server 1 other than when the player operates. Therefore, every time the player displays the GAME TOP 105, the fortune 2
02 is likely to be different. Further, since the fortune 202 is determined based on the points, all the lucks may have the highest value. In this game, if all the luck is the highest, GAME TOP 105
It is configured as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, when an unknown operation command 204 is displayed and the player selects this operation command 204,
Perform special actions. The operation command 20
The operation when 4 is selected will be described later.

By selecting the operation command 203 on the GAME TOP 105, the MC setting screen 106 is displayed.
Is displayed, the user can move to the type search screen 109, the profile change screen 110, and the battle setting change screen 111 to perform the setting.

The type search screen 109 is a condition input screen for narrowing down the type of my character from various conditions when changing the character type, and is, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A. Type search screen 10
9 displays a condition input field 210 for inputting search conditions and an operation command 211 for instructing start of search and the like. In the condition input field 210, "occupation", "sex",
Subject to "age" and "hobby", "worker, politician, unemployed, student, ...", "male, female, unknown", "child, teen, young, middle-aged, elderly, unknown""," Cosplay, music, sports, ... ". At this time, "unspecified" can be selected as the condition. Then, after the condition input in the condition input field 210 is completed, when a command instructing the execution of the search is selected from the operation commands 211, the search result display screen 11 is displayed.
2 is displayed.

On the search result display screen 112, the results of the search performed based on the conditions input on the type search screen 109 are displayed. The results of this search were "
When the player selects a desired character from the character names, such as “heart labor system”, “iron man”, “window”, “sex appeal OL”, “career woman”, “beautiful OL”, and the like, MC ( A My Character) image confirmation screen 113 is displayed, and an image of the selected character is displayed on this screen.

Note that the operation for inputting conditions on the type search screen 102 when participating in the game for the first time is basically the same as the case described here.

When the user moves from the MC setting screen 109 to the profile change screen 110, for example, as shown in FIG.
A screen as shown in (b) is displayed. On this screen,
A profile input field 212 is displayed, and the player inputs and sets the profile of the my character in the profile input field 212. The profile is input as an arbitrary character string (sentence), and the input profile is referred to when another player applies for battle.

When moving from the MC setting screen 109 to the battle setting screen 111, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 5C is displayed. On this screen, a battle setting input field 213 is displayed. Battle setting input field 213
The setting items to be input to are "name of technique", "declaration of victory", "sorry for losing", and "luck to raise".

The "name of technique" is a name given to a technique used in a battle, and can be arbitrarily determined by the player. In this example, three types of techniques are prepared, but the effects of these techniques may be the same, or the magnitude of damage to the opponent may be different for each technique. If the amount of damage is made different for each technique, the probability of success of each technique is changed (the greater the damage, the lower the probability).

[0048] "Victory declaration" and "Losses" are messages that notify the opponent when they have won and lost battles with other characters, respectively, and the player can set an arbitrary character string. .

"Luck to raise" means that if a battle is won,
The game server 1 specifies the type of luck (points) to be taken from the opponent's character, and selects from "love luck", "gold luck", and "work luck", and selects "no designation".
You can also leave the choice of the type of luck you want to take.

Next, a case where the game mode has been moved from the GAME TOP 105 to the battle mode screen 108 will be described. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing the flow of transition of the display screen of the mobile phone 6 in the battle mode. 6 and 7
Also in the above, the transition of the display screen is shown using an arrow, but the transition in the opposite direction is also possible by the operation of the player.

In the battle mode, first, a battle mode screen 120 (the same screen as 108) is displayed. As shown in FIG. 8A, the battle mode screen 120 displays an operation command 220 for instructing movement to another page (screen). When the player selects the operation command 220, the new C (character) selection screen 121 and the registered C (character) selection screen 1
22, battle history screen 123, ranking selection screen 124
Can be moved to.

From the new C selection screen 121, it is possible to move to a keyword selection screen 125 or a type search screen 126. The keyword selection screen 125 is a screen for searching for a character including a desired keyword from a character string such as a character name and a profile. When a player inputs a desired keyword and performs a search, the result is displayed as a search result. It is displayed as a screen 127. As shown in FIG. 8B, the search result screen 127 includes a result display field 221.
Is displayed, and the searched character name is displayed in the result display column. In the type search screen 126, a character to be an opponent is selected from character types, and "occupation", "sex", "age", and "hobby" are input as conditions. Then, the search result is displayed on the search result screen 128.

As a method for selecting an opponent's character, there are two methods besides performing a search via the new C selection screen 121. The first method is to move from the battle mode screen 120 to the registration C selection screen 122 and select a character registered in advance as an opponent. As shown in FIG. 8C, the registered C selection screen 122 displays a registered character display field 222 and an operation command 223. In the registered character display field 222, the character name of the character registered in advance by the player is displayed, and the operation command 223 includes an instruction to delete the registered character. 2
A third method is to instruct the opponent character to be randomly selected from the battle mode screen 120 by the operation command 220, and the game server 1 selects the opponent character at random according to the instruction.

When a character to be an opponent is selected from any of the search result screen 127, the search result screen 128, and the registered C selection screen 122 or a random selection is instructed on the battle mode screen 120, another user C ( A character) display screen 129 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 9A, the other user C display screen 129 includes a character display column 230, a compatibility determination result 231, a comment 232,
The operation command 233 is displayed. Character display field 2
30 displays the image and profile of the character selected previously. The compatibility determination result 231 is a result of the compatibility determination between the player's my character and the opponent's character. This compatibility judgment is calculated based on the points possessed by the my character and the opponent character, and the calculation method may be any method. When determining compatibility, the character type of each character may be taken into account. Comments 232
Is a comment for the compatibility determination result 231, and a comment appropriately selected from comments (character strings) prepared in advance by the game server 1 is displayed. Operation command 233
Instructs to move to a battle screen 130 for starting a battle or to a registration C selection screen 122 to register a displayed character. If the player ends the process on this screen, it means that only the result of the compatibility determination has been confirmed without performing the battle.

As shown in FIG. 9B, a character display field 234 is displayed on the battle screen 130. In the character display column 234, images of the character of the my character and the opponent are displayed together with the value of the physical strength of each character. This physical strength is obtained by adding the fortune of each character, that is, the value of the points held, to the value set by default.

By the way, as described above, when all the lucks have reached the maximum value, the GAME TOP 105
Displayed an unknown operation command 204 (see FIG. 4B). This command 204 is transmitted to the game server 1
The command 235 is a command which can perform a battle with a special character prepared in advance. When this command is selected, a message 235 and an operation command 236 are displayed as shown in FIG. 9C. The message 235 is a message from a special character (actually, prepared in advance on the game server 1 side), and the operation command 236 is a command for selecting whether or not to confirm the special character. is there. Here, when the special character is confirmed, the screen moves to the other user C display screen 129.

When a battle start is instructed from the battle screen 130, a first battle screen 131 is displayed. The first battle screen 131, as shown in FIG.
A technique selection field 240 is displayed. In the technique selection field 240, a technique (a name registered in battle setting) to be set on an opponent character during a battle is selected. When the player selects a technique and instructs a battle start, the battle is started.

In a battle, the game server 1 determines an attacking side by using a random number or the like, and performs a technique from the determined attacking side to the opponent side. Whether or not the technique is successful (or the degree of damage caused by the technique) is determined by the game server 1 by probability calculation using random numbers or the like. Then, the player whose physical strength value becomes 0 first due to the damage of the attacked technique is the loser. However, in the third round, both players have zero physical strength
If not, the decision is made. As a criterion, a magnitude relationship between values of physical strength and the like are used.

Note that, in a battle, the game server 1 may determine the order of attack, and both may attack in that order. In this case, the probability of determining success or failure of the technique may be changed according to the selected technique. Also, a battle similar to Janken may be performed using three techniques.

As a result of the first round, if the game is not decided, a battle second round screen 132 is displayed, and if the game is decided, a battle result screen 134 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 10B, the second battle screen 132 displays a first battle result display column 241 and a technique selection column 242. 1
The round result display field 241 displays the name of the technique performed as a result of the first round, the damage value, and the like. Technique selection column 2
Reference numeral 42 is a column for selecting a technique to be set in the second round. Then, the second round is started, and as a result, if the settlement is not completed, a battle third round screen 133 is displayed, and if the settlement is completed, a battle result screen 134 is displayed.
The battle third round screen 133 is the battle second round screen 1
32.

As shown in FIG. 11A, the battle result screen 134 displays a result display column 250 and operation commands 251. In the result display column 250, the result of the battle is
The "victory declaration", "losing regret" and the character image set for each character are displayed. At this time, the whereabouts of luck (points) that are scrambling are also displayed. Note that points that move up and down as a result of the battle compete for each other, as described above. Can not. In the operation command display column 251, it is possible to instruct creation of a message to be left for the opponent character (the player who has set the character).

When the player instructs to create a message, a message creation screen 135 is displayed. The message creation screen 135 is displayed as shown in FIG.
A message input field 252 is displayed, and the player can input an arbitrary message into the message input field 252.

When a new character registration instruction or a deletion of a registered character is instructed on the registration C selection screen 122, C (character) deletion /
A registration screen 136 is displayed. This C deletion / registration screen 1
In 36, a character to be an opponent can be registered and deleted, and when these processes are performed, a confirmation screen 137 for confirming the details of the process is displayed.

When the user moves from the battle mode screen 120 to the battle history screen 123, the past battle history can be viewed. The battle history screen 123 is shown in FIG.
, The history display field 260 and the operation command 261
Is displayed. The history display column 260 displays the history of battles. The history displayed here indicates the battles consciously performed by the player, that is, the battles when an opponent is selected and a battle application is made. This includes, of course, the history of battles that the player has performed without awareness. The battle performed without the player being conscious is a battle performed without requiring the operation of the player, such as a case where a battle is applied to another player or an automatic battle performed by the game server 1. With the operation command 261, it is possible to instruct the display of the message received from the other party in each history displayed in the history display column 260.

When the player instructs the display of a message by the operation command 261, the message history screen 13
8 is displayed. The message history screen 138 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), a history display field 262 is displayed.
In the history display field 262, a message from the opponent is displayed together with the battle history. However, when the opponent player does not create a message or when an automatic battle is performed, the message does not exist and is not displayed.

When the user moves from the battle mode screen 120 to the ranking selection screen 124, the ranking of the battle results of the my characters can be viewed. From the ranking screen 124, the total ranking screen 139
Alternatively, the user can move to the monthly ranking screen 140. As shown in FIG. 13A, a ranking display field 270 is displayed on the total ranking screen 139, and the total ranking is displayed in the ranking display field 270. 13B, a ranking display field 271 is displayed on the monthly ranking screen 140, and a monthly ranking is displayed in the ranking display field 271.

Next, the case where the game mode screen 107 is moved from the GAME TOP 105 to the training mode screen 107 will be described. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a flow of transition of the display screen of the mobile phone 6 in the training mode. In FIG. 14, the transition of the display screen is shown using arrows,
The transition in the reverse direction is also possible by the operation of the player.

In the training mode, first, a training mode screen 150 (the same screen as 107) is displayed. From the training mode screen 150, it is possible to move to a TC (training character) display screen 151 for displaying a training character. TC display screen 15
1 to TC (training character) setting screen 1
52 or the training battle screen 153.

On the TC setting screen 152, a training character can be set, etc., and the user can move to the type search screen 154, the profile change screen 155, and the battle setting screen 156 in the same manner as when setting the my character. Can be. In addition, training battle screen 1
Movement to 53 is also possible.

From the type search screen 154, a character can be selected through a search result screen 157 and a TC (training character) image confirmation screen 155.
This process is the same as the character setting of the My character, and thus the description is omitted. Further, the profile change process on the profile change screen 155 is the same as the other process except that the name of the character can be changed is different from the profile change process of the my character. The change of the battle setting on the battle setting change screen is the same as the case of the my character.

Further, from the training battle screen 153, compatibility between the my character and the training character can be determined and a battle can be performed. These processes also
This is the same process as in the battle in the battle mode, except that the message cannot be left to the opponent and the point does not move between the two. The battle first battle screen 159 and the battle second battle screen 160 , A battle third round screen 161 and a battle result screen 162 are displayed.

Lastly, an example of the operation of the game server 1 when performing an automatic battle will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the flow of the operation of the game server 1 when performing an automatic battle.

When the automatic battle process is started, the game server 1 first detects an uncombatted my character (MC) (step 300). Uncombatted My Character
This is a my character that has not performed a battle as a gimmick by the automatic battle process.

When an uncombatted my character is detected (YES in step 301), an opponent of the detected my character is appropriately selected (step 302). Here, if the selected opponent is a non-matchable my character (NO in step 303), the opponent is selected again. The battle is disabled for a combination of my characters that have already battled on the same day.

When a my character capable of fighting is selected (YES in step 303), a first match is performed between the two (step 304). This battle is the same as the battle in the battle mode except that the game server 1 appropriately selects a technique.
