The data for one record corresponds to the data for one game, and stores a battle score number 1404b, an opponent team 1404c, a win / loss result 1404d, an own team event 1404e, and an opponent team event 1404f.

  The battle score number 1404b is an identification number (for example, “01”) assigned to each game. The battle score number 1404b identifies a battle score related to one battle played by the team having the team name 1404a. . The opponent team 1404c stores a team name (for example, “Oedo Saunders”) that identifies the player team of the opponent of the game.

  The winning / losing result 1404d stores the winning / losing result (for example, “win”) of the game. The own team event 1404e stores the own team event and the corresponding tactics that can be taken in response to the occurrence of the own team event, and the corresponding tactics performed by each player in response to the occurrence of the own team event during one game. The total number of times is stored for each corresponding tactic. The same applies to the opponent team event 1404f, and the total number of corresponding tactics performed by each player in response to the occurrence of the opponent team event during one game is stored for each corresponding tactic.

  Specifically, when “event A”, which is the own team event, occurs, “tactics A1” and “tactics A2” are defined as the types of tactics that can be taken. It is determined whether the corresponding tactic performed by each player, that is, the team is “tactic A1” or “tactic A2”, and the number of executed tactics is recorded. That is, when the same event occurs a plurality of times, the corresponding tactic implemented for each event is determined, and the total number of times is recorded.

  The battle score analysis data 1406 is generated by analyzing the team battle score data 1404 of a given player team in the BOT team control data generation processing or the assistance instruction determination data generation processing. Stores the analysis results for the tactics selected in the list.

  FIG. 7 shows a data configuration example of the battle score analysis data 1406. The battle score analysis data 1406 is obtained by analyzing the team battle score data 1404 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, in the battle score analysis data 1406, one card constitutes battle score analysis data for one team, and stores a team name 1406a for specifying a player team.

  In addition, as an analysis result of the corresponding tactics, a total selection ratio 1406d for each corresponding tactic corresponding to each event is stored for each of the own team event 1406b and the opponent team event 1406c. The total selection ratio 1406d stores the selection ratio of the corresponding tactics throughout all the games for each corresponding tactic corresponding to each event. Specifically, it is stored that “tactics A1” is selected at a rate of “68%” and “tactics A2” is selected at a rate of “32%” for the occurrence of “event A”. Yes. As a result, it can be understood that the team with the team name 1406a selects a large number of tactics A1 in response to the occurrence of the event A, as the selection tendency of the overall team response tactics throughout the entire game.

  The event response tactic information 142 stores a correspondence relationship between a predetermined event and a response tactic selected in response to the occurrence of the event. FIG. 8 shows a data configuration example of the event response tactic information. As shown in FIG. 8, the event response tactic information 142 stores an event number 142a, an event content 142b, a response tactic 142c, and a tactic determination condition 142d. The event number 142a stores a number (for example, “event A”) for specifying an event. The event content 142b stores a predetermined event content (for example, “from 3 to 2 allies”).

  The corresponding tactic 142c stores the contents of a plurality of corresponding tactics selected according to the occurrence of the event (for example, “tactic A1; collect”, “tactic A2; as it is”). The tactic determination condition 142d stores a determination condition for determining the type of the selected corresponding tactic based on the player's play history acquired from the player record data 1402. Specifically, when an event such as “from 3 to 2 teammates” occurs, based on the character position information obtained from the player battle record data 1402, “distance between players at event occurrence × 0 .8 ≧ 20 seconds later when the determination condition of “distance between players” is satisfied, it is determined that “tactic A1” is selected, and “distance between players at the occurrence of an event × 0.8 <20 seconds between players When the determination condition of “distance” is satisfied, it is determined that “tactic A2” is selected.

  In this way, the team battle score data 1404 described above is generated based on the player battle score data 1402 and the event-corresponding tactic information 142 by determining the corresponding tactics of each player when an event occurs.

  The BOT team control data 144 is generated based on the above-described battle score analysis data 1406, and stores control data for controlling the BOT team in a battle between the player team and the BOT team. FIG. 9 shows a data configuration example of the BOT team control data 144. The BOT team control data 144 includes a player team event 144a that is an event that has occurred in the player team and a BOT team event 144b that is an event that has occurred in the BOT team, for each corresponding tactic corresponding to each event. A countermeasure 144c and a selection ratio 144d are set.

  The countermeasure 144c is a countermeasure for combating each countermeasure tactic. For example, a countermeasure for “tactic A” is “A1 countermeasure”. In other words, it is possible to advantageously advance the battle by taking the “A1 countermeasure” for “tactic A”.

In the selection ratio 144d, the total selection ratio in the battle score analysis data 1406 is set.
Specifically, the total selection ratio of the own team event 1406b in the battle score analysis data 1406 is reflected in the selection ratio of the player team event 144a in the BOT team control data 144, and the opponent team event 1406c in the battle score analysis data 1406 is reflected. The total selection ratio is reflected in the selection ratio of the BOT team event 144b in the BOT team control data 144. In other words, the total selection ratio of the battle score analysis data 1406 is set as a selection ratio, and when a certain event occurs, the BOT team takes the countermeasure of the corresponding tactic with the highest selection ratio among the corresponding tactics for the event. By doing so, the tendency of the team can be predicted and the BOT team can be controlled.

  The assistance instruction determination data 146 is generated based on the above-described battle score analysis data 1406, and stores determination data that serves as a determination criterion when outputting an assistance instruction to a player in a battle between player teams. FIG. 10 shows a data configuration example of the assistance instruction determination data 146. The assistance instruction determination data 146 is composed of determination data 1462 and 1464 for two teams performing a battle, and a team name 146a is stored for each data. The data structure is the same as the BOT team control data 144.

  Specifically, the total selection ratio of the own team event 1406b in the battle record analysis data 1406 is reflected in the selection ratio of the own team event 146b in the assistance instruction determination data 146, and the opponent team event 1406c in the battle record analysis data 1406 is reflected. The total selection ratio is reflected in the selection ratio of the opponent team event 146 c in the assistance instruction determination data 146. In other words, the total selection ratio of the battle score analysis data 1406 is set as a selection ratio, and when one event occurs, one of the two teams that are fighting is selected from the corresponding tactics for the event. By predicting the response tactic with the highest selection ratio as the next response tactic for the team, a useful assistance instruction based on the prediction can be provided to the other team in real time.

  The countermeasure table 148 is a table in which a countermeasure 148a that counters each countermeasure tactic and a control content 148b for controlling the BOT team are associated with each other. FIG. 11 shows a table configuration example of the countermeasure table 148. For example, when the BOT team takes the “A1 countermeasure”, the player team is controlled to guide each character of the BOT team (referred to as “BOT character”) within 5 meters of the player team base. On the other hand, a “total attack” is set.

  The player management data 150 stores information for managing players who have logged in the game system 1. FIG. 12 shows a data configuration example of the player management data 150. As shown in FIG. 12, the player management data 150 stores a password 150b, a use character 150c, a login presence / absence 150d, a team 150e, and a play level 150f in association with the player name 150a.

  The password 150b is used for login processing, and is information for preventing unauthorized login by other than a regular player. The used character 150c is information for specifying a character used by each player in the game. The login presence / absence 150d is information indicating whether or not the player is currently logged in to the game system 1.

  The affiliation team 150e is information for specifying the team to which the player belongs. The play level 150f is information indicating the level of the player, and is expressed in 10 stages “1 to 10”.

  The assistance level information 348 is information for determining what kind of assistance instruction is to be output to which player in the assistance instruction output control processing, and FIG. The assistance level information 348 is information in which the play level 348a of the player, the assistance level 348b, and the assistance instruction content 348c are associated with each other.

  The play level 348a corresponds to the play level 150f of the player management data 150 managed by the management server 10. The assistance level 348b is information indicating the level of assistance instruction to be output, and is expressed in four stages “1 to 4”. However, since a player with a play level of “6-10” is considered to be an advanced player, the assistance level 348b is not set and no assistance instruction is output.

  The assistance level 348b is set higher as the player has a lower play level 348a, and a polite and detailed assistance instruction is output. The assistance instruction contents 348c are specific contents of the assistance instructions that are output, and the contents are divided into four stages (α, β, γ, and δ in the figure) according to the assistance level 348b.

  For example, the assistance level of a player whose play level is “4” is “2”, and the content of the assistance instruction that is output includes “an explanation display of the opponent team's response tactics for the event that occurred” and “the corresponding strategy” “Explanation of countermeasures”.

  In this way, by setting the assistance level higher for a player with a lower play level, it is possible to provide an appropriate assistance instruction to a player who is not yet used to the game or a completely new player.

  The assistance instruction display information 350 is information that stores the control contents of assistance instruction display that is actually output by the game terminal 20, and a data configuration example thereof is shown in FIG. In the assistance instruction display information 350, the tactic 350a and the assistance instruction contents (α to δ) 350b to 350e of the assistance level information 348 are associated with each other. For example, the display control content “high possibility of total attack” is associated with the strategy “M1” as an explanation display of the opponent team ’s response tactics, and “ The display control content “let's gather together” is associated. Further, as the direction display based on the countermeasure of the tactic “M1”, the display control content of calculating an intermediate point between the allies and displaying an arrow indicating the direction of the intermediate point is associated with the operation method. The display is associated with display control contents including a Shift key + a direction key indicating the direction of the calculated midpoint between the allies and an explanatory text “sloppy move!”.

(4) Game Screen Next, specific contents of the assistance instruction will be described with reference to an example of a game screen actually displayed on the game terminal 20.

  19 to 23 show an example of a game screen displayed on the game terminal 20 of a player belonging to one team in a battle between player teams. In the following, for the sake of simplicity, the player is referred to as the “own player”, the team to which the player belongs is referred to as the “own team”, and the team that is playing the battle is referred to as the “partner team”.

  For example, if your team is “Enka-Z”, your opponent ’s team is “Oedo Sanders”, and your team is “Enka-Z”, the number of players will change from three to two. explain. In this case, based on the assistance instruction determination data 1464 of “Oedo Saunders” in FIG. 10, control is performed to output an assistance instruction to “Enka-zu” which is the own team.

  When the number of players belonging to “Enka-Z”, which is the own team, is changed from three to two, the event number 142a of the event-corresponding tactic information 142 described in FIG. "Event M" occurred. At this time, the game server 30 refers to the assistance instruction determination data 1464 of “Oedo Saunders” and identifies the corresponding tactic with the highest selection ratio among the corresponding tactics for “Event M”. Here, it is assumed that the selection ratio of the corresponding tactic M1 (total attack) is the highest. Then, the game server 30 predicts that the opponent team “Oedo Saunders” will probably make a total attack against its own team “Enka-zu”. Therefore, based on this prediction, the game server 30 assists that the opponent team “Oedo Saunders” is likely to make a total attack against the player “Enka-zu”. Output control of instructions.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed when the play level of the player is “5”. Since the play level of the player is “5”, the game server 30 sets the assistance level to “1” based on the assistance level information 348, and “there is a high possibility that the total attack will occur”. Controls the display of explanations of team tactics.

  Similarly, FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed when the play level of the player is “4”. Since the play level of the player is “4”, the game server 30 sets the assistance level to “2” and displays an explanation of the opponent team's response tactics such as “high possibility of total attack”. In addition to this, the display control of the explanation of the countermeasure against the opponent team's response tactics such as “let's gather together” is controlled.

  Similarly, FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed when the play level of the player is “3”. Since the play level of the player is “3”, the game server 30 sets the assistance level to “3”, and outputs and controls the direction display indicated by the arrow in addition to the explanation display shown in FIG. . The direction displayed here indicates the direction in which the player should advance in order to “between allies”, that is, the direction to the middle position between the allies.

  Similarly, FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed when the play level of the player is “1” (or “2”). Since the play level of the player is “1” (or “2”), the game server 30 sets the assistance level to “4”, in addition to the explanation display and the direction display shown in FIG. An operation method such as “[Shift] + [→] moves secretly!” Is displayed. The operation method displayed here is an operation method for moving in the direction in which the player should proceed in order to “between allies”. In the gun shooting game according to the present embodiment, the operation of “dash” is realized by pressing the direction key, and the operation of “walking” is realized by pressing the direction key while pressing the “Shift” key.

  Next, the case where the player throws a grenade at the opponent team “Oedo Sanders” will be described as an example. In this case, from the opponent team “Oedo Saunders”, “event B” in the event number 142a of the event corresponding tactic information 142 described in FIG. 8 has occurred.

  At this time, the game server 30 refers to the assistance instruction determination data 1464 of “Oedo Saunders”, and identifies the corresponding tactic with the highest selection ratio among the corresponding tactics for “Event B”. Here, it is assumed that the selection ratio of the corresponding tactic B1 (attack) is the highest. Then, the game server 30 predicts that the opponent team “Oedo Saunders” will probably throw back a grenade against his team “Enka-zu”. Therefore, based on this prediction, the game server 30 provides assistance that the opponent team “Oedo Sanders” is likely to throw back a grenade against the player “Enka-zu”. Output control of instructions.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed when the play level of the player is “1” (or “2”). Since the play level of the player is “1” (or “2”), the game server 30 sets the assistance level to “4”, and “there is a high possibility that a grenade will be thrown back” The control display of the team's response tactics and the description display of the countermeasures for the opponent team's response tactics such as “Please move away from the position where the grenade was thrown earlier” are output controlled, and the direction away from the position where the grenade was thrown is controlled. Output control is performed on the pointing arrow and the direction key for moving in that direction.

(5) Process Flow Next, the process flow in the present embodiment will be described. 24 to 29 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of processing in the present embodiment.

  First, the overall flow of the game system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 24, the game terminal 20 accesses the management server 10 and makes a login request in order to receive login authentication (step A1). When a login request is made, the management server 10 executes a login process (step B1). Specifically, based on the player name and password included in the log-in request and the player management data 150, authentication of a legitimate player is performed.

  Subsequently, when a game request is input from the player (step A3), the game terminal 20 determines whether the game terminal 20 is a game request with the player team (step A5). When it is a battle | competition request | requirement with a player team (step A5; Yes), the game terminal 20 transmits a matching request | requirement to the management server 10 (step A7). On the other hand, when it is a battle request with the BOT team (step A5; No), a battle request with the BOT team is transmitted to the management server 10 (step A9).

  The management server 10 determines whether the request received from the game terminal 20 is a battle request with the player team (step B3).

(8-4) Selection of Game Stage In the present embodiment, it has been described that a battle is performed at a game stage selected by a player from a plurality of game stages. However, instead of adopting such a configuration, the game stage may be automatically selected according to the number of teams. For example, a small game stage is automatically selected when the number of teams is small, and a large game stage is automatically selected when the number of teams is large.

  Also, in this case, assistance instruction determination data for the own team and the opponent team is generated for each game stage, and assistance instructions are provided to the players of each team based on the assistance instruction determination data for the corresponding game stage. To do. This is because even in the same team, past trends may differ depending on the game stage in which the battle is performed.

  For example, in past battles, the opponent team has the highest percentage of responding tactics such as “throwing a grenade” at a small game stage against an event of “throwing a grenade” from the own team to the opponent team. It is assumed that the highest proportion of responding tactics such as “as is (does not throw back the grenade)” in the battles at large game stages. In this case, even if the event that occurred is the same, the corresponding tactics taken by the opponent team differ depending on the game stage. Therefore, the assistance instruction determination data of the opponent team is generated for each game stage, and the assistance instruction for the corresponding game stage is generated. By providing assistance instructions to the players of the team based on the determination data, it is possible to provide more appropriate assistance instructions according to the game stage.

(8-5) Victory Conditions In the present embodiment, it has been described that the victory condition for the battle is “Installation / Blasting of Bombs at Bomb Installation Position”. However, the victory condition is not limited to this, and can be appropriately changed, for example, “defeat the opponent team leader” or “destroy the opponent team”. Further, the victory condition may not be automatically determined, but may be selected by the player before the battle is started.

  Also, in this case, assistance instruction determination data for the own team and the opponent team is generated for each victory condition, and assistance instructions are provided to the players of each team based on the corresponding assistance instruction determination data for the victory condition. To do. This is because even in the same team, past trends may differ depending on the victory conditions. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a player with a highly reliable assistance instruction according to victory conditions.

(8-6) Support Target Player In the present embodiment, the description has been made assuming that the support target player is determined based on the play level of the player. However, instead of adopting such a configuration, each player may be allowed to select whether or not an assistance instruction is necessary, and the player who is deemed to be necessary may be the assistance target player. In this case, it is more preferable that the support target player freely select the support level.

(8-7) Output Form of Assistance Instruction In this embodiment, the output form of the assistance instruction is displayed on the screen.

(8-8) Application to Other Games In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a gun shooting game has been described, but applicable games are not limited to this. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a sports game in which individual battles such as tennis, table tennis, and badminton are performed, and a sports game in which team battles such as baseball and soccer are performed between a plurality of characters.

  For example, taking a soccer game as an example, as shown in FIG. 34, an event that occurred in the own team (for example, “one player leaves the team”) and an event that occurred in the opponent team (for example, “one enemy leaves the team”). ) To generate assistance instruction determination data by calculating the selection ratio of the formation that the opponent team has taken in the past, and predict the formation that the opponent team will take based on the generated assistance instruction determination data To do. Then, an assistance instruction based on the predicted formation is provided to the player of the own team.
