  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the game system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the appearance of the game apparatus. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 100 of this example includes a game apparatus 10 and a plurality of cards 50. The game device 10 stores a control unit 11 including a CPU, a ROM, and the like to control the entire device 10, an input unit 12 configured by push buttons, a controller, and the like, a speaker 13 that outputs sound, and various types of information. A memory 14, a display unit 15 constituted by a liquid crystal display device or the like for displaying various information, a card reading unit 16 for reading card information stored in the card 50, and communication control for performing various controls relating to data communication. Part 17.

  The game device 10 is configured by, for example, a store-installed game device. The control unit 11 controls the entire apparatus 10 according to a control program stored in the memory 14. A control program for executing the card game of this example is stored in the memory 14 in advance. The memory 14 is used as a work memory while the control unit 11 is executing processing, and data generated in the middle depending on the progress of the game (for example, data indicating the score of the game, the state of the player character, reading) Stored card data) is saved.

  The card reading unit 16 includes a flat panel (an example of a card mounting panel) 16 a on which a card is placed, and a card data reading mechanism (not shown) provided inside the casing of the game apparatus 10. The card data reading mechanism is a mechanism for optically reading card data. For example, the card data attached to the card 50 is a light source composed of a light emitting diode, a plurality of reflectors, a filter for removing specific light, and the like. An image sensor that captures an image including the image sensor, a reader (for example, a barcode reader) that reads card data included in the image captured by the image sensor, and the card 50 mounted on the flat panel 16a from the image captured by the image sensor. A position detecting unit for detecting the position. The card data is stored in the card by, for example, printing a two-dimensional barcode on the card surface with a predetermined ink. The card data is, for example, data indicating the contents of various parameters determined in advance, such as card type (abilities, summons, items, special cards, etc.), card name, HP (hit points), MP (magic points), etc. It is.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the player places the cards 50a to 50c on the flat panel 16a, thereby causing the card reading unit 16 to read the card data stored in the cards 50a to 50c. The game is enjoyed by causing the character to execute the action determined based on the action. It is assumed that a plurality of cards 50 used in the present example can be stacked and placed on the flat panel 16a.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the card 50 used in this example. A card 50d shown in FIG. 4A has a two-dimensional barcode 71 printed at a lower central position of the card body, and a slit 61 is provided upward from the central portion of the card body. A card 50e shown in FIG. 4 (B) has a two-dimensional barcode 72 printed at the center position of the card body. A slit 62 is provided in the upper part of the card body, and a slit 63 is provided in the lower part of the card body. Is provided. A card 50f shown in FIG. 4C has a two-dimensional barcode 73 printed at the center position above the card body, and a slit 64 is provided downward from the center portion of the card body.

  The slit 61 is formed in a size including a portion corresponding to a portion where the two-dimensional barcode 72 is printed and a portion corresponding to a portion where the two-dimensional barcode 73 is printed. The slit 62 is formed in a size including a portion corresponding to a portion where the two-dimensional barcode 73 is printed. The slit 63 is formed in a size including a portion corresponding to a portion where the two-dimensional barcode 71 is printed. The slit 64 is formed in a size including a portion corresponding to the portion where the two-dimensional barcode 71 is printed and a portion corresponding to the portion where the two-dimensional barcode 72 is printed.

  When the card 50d, the card 50e, and the card 50f are superposed, the two-dimensional barcodes 71 to 73 are exposed by the slits 61 to 64 regardless of the order of superposition. Therefore, even when the three cards 50d, 50e, and 50f are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, the card reading unit 16 reads each two-dimensional barcode 71 to 73 that is card data. be able to.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of the card 50 used in this example. The cards 50g and h have two-dimensional barcodes 74 and 76 printed at the center position of the card body, and two-dimensional barcodes 75 and 77 printed at predetermined positions shifted in one lateral direction from the center position of the card body. Notches 65 and 67 are formed at the other laterally shifted end from the center position of the card body, and adjacent to the side where the notches 65 and 67 are formed in the counterclockwise direction. Cutouts 66 and 68 are formed at the center of the side to be cut. The cards 50g and h are formed in the same shape, and if the card 50g shown in FIG. 5 (A) is in a normal state, the card 50h shown in FIG. 5 (B) is rotated 180 degrees from the normal state. It is.

  Each notch 65-68 is formed so that the notch part is larger than the two-dimensional barcode 75,77. Therefore, when the card 50h is superimposed on the card 50g, the two-dimensional barcode 77 is exposed from above the notch 65 as shown in FIG. , 75, 77 can be read. When the card 50g is superimposed on the card 50h, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the two-dimensional barcode 75 is exposed from above the notch 67, so that the card reader 16 has three two-dimensional barcodes 75. , 76, 77 can be read. Therefore, even when the two cards 50g and 50h are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, the card reading unit 16 is located above the two-dimensional barcodes 74 to 77 that are card data. Three two-dimensional barcodes can be read, including one two-dimensional barcode stored on the card that is located. 6 and 7 are views of the state in which the two cards 50g and 50h are superimposed as viewed from below.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing still another example of the card 50 used in this example. The card 50i has five two-dimensional barcodes printed on the central position of the card body and in the vicinity of the four corners. When the plurality of cards 50i formed in this way are expanded in a fan shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, from the superimposed state, the card reading unit 16 has five two-dimensional prints on the lowermost card 50i. A bar code and two two-dimensional bar codes printed in the vicinity of the corners of both sides of the side that is fanned out of the five two-dimensional bar codes printed on the card 50i other than the lowermost part. Can be read.

  Therefore, even when a plurality of cards 50i are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, the card reading unit 16 includes five two-dimensional barcodes printed on the lowermost card 50i, Two two-dimensional barcodes can be read out of the five two-dimensional barcodes printed on the card 50i other than the lowermost portion. In addition, FIG. 9 is the figure which looked at the state on which the several card | curd 50i is superimposed from the downward direction.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, if two cards 50i are overlapped with each other rotated by 90 degrees, the card reading unit 16 has five printed on the lower card 50i. The two-dimensional bar code and four two-dimensional bar codes printed in the vicinity of four corners of the five two-dimensional bar codes printed on the upper card 50i can be read.

  Therefore, even when two cards 50i are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, the card reading unit 16 includes five two-dimensional barcodes printed on the lower card 50i, The four two-dimensional barcodes printed on the upper card 50i can be read. FIG. 10 is a view of the state in which the two cards 50i are superimposed as viewed from below.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing still another example of the card 50 used in this example. In the cards 50j to 50m, the upper area of the card body is formed to be transparent or translucent, and various illustrations are drawn in other areas. Then, two-dimensional barcodes 78 to 81 are printed on the upper regions so that the cards 50j to 50m are positioned so as not to overlap each other when superimposed. Therefore, when the cards 50j to 50m are superimposed, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the two-dimensional barcode printed on the card other than the lowermost part is transmitted through the upper area of the card located below and flat. It will be in the state exposed to the direction (downward) toward the panel 16a.

  Accordingly, even when a plurality of cards 50j to 50m are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, the card reading unit 16 can print each two-dimensional barcode printed on each card 50j to 50m. 78-81 can be read.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing still another example of the card 50 used in this example. In the card 50n, the entire surface area of the card body is formed to be transparent or translucent, and a two-dimensional barcode is printed on one of 18 areas obtained by dividing the surface area into 18 areas. Therefore, when 18 cards 50n on which two-dimensional barcodes are printed are superimposed on each of the 18 different areas, all the areas below the positions where the two-dimensional barcodes of the cards other than the bottom are printed are all transparent or Since it is translucent, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, all 18 two-dimensional barcodes are exposed in a direction (downward) toward the flat panel 16a.

  Therefore, even when a plurality of cards 50n are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, the card reading unit 16 can read each two-dimensional barcode printed on each card 50n. it can. Note that the 18 division is an example, and the division number may be another number.

Next, the operation of the game system 100 of this example will be described.
Here, in order to simplify the description, the description may be omitted except for the processing particularly related to the present invention. In this example, a process for causing a player character to perform an action based on card data stored in a card 50 placed on the flat panel 16a in a battle scene in an RPG or a simulation game will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of card data analysis processing executed by the game apparatus 10 in the game system 100 of this example. The card data analysis process is executed, for example, according to the operation of the input unit 12 by the player or periodically. In the card data analysis process, the card reading unit 16 executes a card data reading process stored in the card 50 placed on the flat panel 16a (step S101).

  When the card data is read, the control unit 11 of the game apparatus 10 accumulates the read card data in the memory 14 (step S102). When a plurality of cards 50 are placed on the flat panel 16a, card data of the plurality of cards 50 are read and stored in the memory 14. When the card 50 is placed on the flat panel 16 a in a superimposed state, readable card data is read from the card data of the plurality of superimposed cards 50 and stored in the memory 14. Note that the placement position of each card 50 on the flat panel 16a may be detected and stored in the memory 14 in association with the read card data. If comprised in this way, it will become possible to specify the card data group read from the superimposed card | curd 50. FIG.

  Next, the game device 10 determines the action content of the player character based on the plurality of card data stored in the memory 14 (step S103). Then, the game apparatus 10 executes the determined action content (step S104). Thereafter, the game apparatus 10 erases the card data stored in the memory 14 (step S105).

  When determining the action content of the player character, for example, an action content determination table in which the values of the parameters indicating the combination results of a plurality of card data are associated with the action contents is used.

  As described above, the card data is read from the plurality of cards 50, the action content of the player character is determined based on the read card data, and the determined action content is executed.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the game apparatus 10 that controls the progress of the video game using the card data extracted from the card 50 is placed on the flat panel 16a on which the card 50 is placed. The card data stored in the stored card is extracted from the back side of the flat panel 16a, the extracted card data is stored in the memory 14, and the progress of the game is controlled based on the stored card data. In particular, since each card data stored in a plurality of cards 50 superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a is extracted, the card data stored in the card 50 is read to play the game. Reading card data from each of a plurality of superimposed cards 50 in a card game to be advanced Can, it is possible to increase the types of game game available in the card game apparatus, it is possible to enhance the interest of. Further, the card data can be read from each of the plurality of superimposed cards 50, the characteristics of the characters that can be read from the card 50 can be varied, and the taste can be enhanced. Therefore, the card game device can be developed and easily spread.

  In the above-described embodiment, the card device 50 is formed with a transparent portion so that the storage area of the card data in another superimposed card can be transmitted, and the game apparatus 10 transmits the data by an optical method. Of each card data stored in a plurality of cards 50 that are configured to be extracted and are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, a storage area that is exposed toward the back side of the flat panel 16a. Since the stored card data is extracted, the card data can be read from each of the superimposed cards 50.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the card 50 is configured such that a part of the card 50 is transparent or semi-transparent so that the storage area of the card data in another superimposed card can be transmitted. As a result, the card data can be read from each of the superimposed cards 50.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the card 50 has a configuration in which a slit is formed as a transmissive part so that the storage area of the card data in another superimposed card can be transmitted. The card data can be read from each of the plurality of cards 50.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the card 50 is configured such that a notch is formed as a transmissive portion in a part of the periphery so that the storage area of the card data in another superimposed card can be transmitted. As a result, the card data can be read from each of the superimposed cards 50.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the card 50 is placed near each corner on the surface of the card body so that the storage area of the card data in another card superimposed in a fan-shaped state can be transmitted. Since the data storage area is formed, the card data can be read from each of the superimposed cards 50.

  The mode of each card 50 described in the above-described embodiment may be any as long as card data can be read from each of a plurality of superimposed cards 50. Here, another example of the card 50 that can be used in the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the configuration of the card 50 used in this example. 17-19 is explanatory drawing which shows the example of the cards 50o-50q used by this example. FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a state in which the cards 50o to 50q used in this example are superimposed.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the card 50 used in this example is a display area in which the entire surface area of the card body is formed to be transparent or translucent, and a player character, a weapon, or the like is displayed at the center of the surface area. H is provided, and an equipment region S obtained by dividing a peripheral portion of the surface region into a plurality of portions is provided. In the display area H, an image showing the player character assigned to the card and the equipment assigned to the card is drawn. A portion of the display area H where no image is drawn is transparent or translucent. The equipment area S is provided on the outer periphery of each of the four sides of the rectangular portion forming the display area H. In this equipment area S, equipment categories set corresponding to each of the four sides are defined. A plurality of areas in which “weapons” are set, a plurality of areas in which “armor” is set, , A plurality of areas in which “accessories” are set and a plurality of areas in which “others” are set are provided. In the card 50 used in this example, a two-dimensional barcode is printed in one of the plurality of areas in the equipment area S. All of the equipment areas S other than one area where the two-dimensional bar code is printed are formed to be transparent or translucent. Note that the number of areas of the equipment area S may be any number as long as a size capable of printing a two-dimensional barcode is secured in each area. In other words, even with the same category of equipment, the same number of equipment as the number of equipment areas in the category can be superimposed at the maximum.

  Specifically, among the cards 50 used in this example, the weapon card 50o is, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, a display area H in which a player character and a weapon are drawn, and a two-dimensional information indicating information on the weapon. And an equipment area S on which a bar code 85 is printed. Among the cards 50 used in this example, the armor card 50p is, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, a display area H on which the armor is drawn and an equipment area on which a two-dimensional bar code 86 indicating information on the armor is printed. S. Of the cards 50 used in this example, an accessory card 50q is, for example, as shown in FIG. 19, a display area H on which an accessory is drawn and an equipment area on which a two-dimensional barcode 87 indicating information on the accessory is printed. S.

  When the cards 50o to 50q are superposed, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, all the areas below the respective equipment areas S on which the two-dimensional barcodes 85, 86, and 87 are printed on the cards 50o to 50q are either transparent or Since it is translucent, each two-dimensional barcode 85, 86, 87 is exposed in the direction (downward) toward the flat panel 16a. Therefore, even when a plurality of cards 50o to 50q are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a, the card reading unit 16 can print each two-dimensional barcode printed on each card 50o to 50q. Can be read.

  When the cards 50o to 50q are superimposed, as shown in FIG. 20, the armor drawn in the display area H of the card 50p is superimposed on the player character and the weapon drawn in the display area H of the card 50o. The accessory drawn on the display area H of the card 50q is superimposed thereon. Therefore, in a state where the cards 50o to 50q are superimposed, as shown in FIG. 20, the player character is equipped with a weapon (here, a sword), armor (here, a shield), and an accessory (here, a bracelet). Are displayed in the display area H.

  When the card 50 described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 20 is used, in the card data analysis process (see FIG. 15) described above, the card reading unit 16 is placed on the flat panel 16a in step S101. After reading the card data stored in each of the plurality of cards 50 and accumulating the plurality of card data read by the control unit 11 in step S102 in the memory 14, the game apparatus 10 is equipped with the player character in step S103. And action content may be determined. Then, in step S104, the game apparatus 10 may perform control so that the player character executes the action content determined in the equipment state determined in step S103.

  In the above example, the state of the player character corresponding to the state in which the plurality of cards 50 are overlapped may be confirmed by the display information displayed on the display unit 15 of the game apparatus 10. For example, when the armor card 50p is superimposed above the character card 50o, the game apparatus 10 may display the state where the character is equipped with the armor on the display unit 15. That is, the combination contents of the cards may be confirmed both from the superimposed cards themselves as shown in FIG. 20 and from the display information on the display unit 15.

  The combination of card data of each superimposed card is stored in the memory 14, and only the character card 50o is left on the flat panel 16a while playing, and other cards (such as the armor card 50p) are kept on the flat panel. Even when it is removed from 16a, the character's equipment state is specified according to the information stored in the memory 14, so that the player can play as a character in the same equipment state as when other equipment cards are superimposed. It may be. By configuring in this way, the operability can be greatly improved as compared to the case where a plurality of cards are played while being stacked.

  As described above, a display area in which information about objects in the game such as equipment is displayed is provided in the central part, a transparent part is arranged around the display area, and a card data storage area (equipment area) Even if it is a case where it is decided to use the card 50 including object information (information on the object) such as equipment information indicating equipment to be equipped with the character, the card data stored in the card 50 is read to play the game. So that the card data can be read from each of the superimposed cards 50, the types of games that can be played on the card game device can be increased, and the taste can be enhanced. Become. The above-described card 50 described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 20 is used in a battle game in which the ability of the player character is improved by devising equipment such as weapons and armor to battle with enemy characters. It is suitable for. By using it in such a battle game, it becomes possible to arbitrarily and easily change the combination of player character equipment. In addition, since an image with a weapon or the like equipped is displayed in the display area H, the equipped state can be easily confirmed.

  In the above example, the card 50 has been described on the assumption that the entire surface area of the card body is formed to be transparent or translucent. However, the display area H does not have a portion formed to be transparent or translucent. It may be a configuration. In this case, a large image showing the equipment can be drawn in the display area H, and the equipment can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner. In addition, it is possible to prevent variations in the illustrations of each character card from being restricted so that the equipment state appearing in the display area H when there are a plurality of cards superimposed does not feel uncomfortable. it can.

  In the above example, in the equipment area S, equipment categories set corresponding to each of the four sides of the card 50 are determined, and a plurality of areas in which equipment can be set are provided in each category. Therefore, even if the equipment of the same category is set in different areas, by superimposing multiple cards 50, multiple (types) of equipment of the same category can be equipped on one character at the same time. It becomes possible to make it. Specifically, for example, a card in which “sword” is set in one of a plurality of areas in which “weapon” is set in the equipment area S and another one in a plurality of areas in which “weapon” is set. By superimposing other cards set with “槍”, it is possible to equip one hand of the player character with “sword” and equip the other hand with “槍”.

  In addition, as the card data of the card (equipment card) in which the equipment is set among the cards used in the above example, the equipment name, card ID, equipment category (weapon, armor, accessory, etc.), sub-classification ( It is assumed that a value indicating the ability or characteristic of the corresponding equipment such as information indicating which of the plurality of areas in the equipment area S), attack power, defense power, magic power, luck, and quickness is included. Moreover, as card data of the card (character card) in which the player character is set among the cards used in the above example, the character name, level, HP (hit point), MP (magic point), attack power, defense power, It is assumed that each value indicating the ability and characteristics of the corresponding character, such as magic power, luck, and quickness, is included. In the above example, when the game apparatus 10 reads the card data from the two-dimensional bar code written on the card (see step S101), the equipment stored in the memory 14 is the read card data. It accumulates in the table (see step S102). Then, by adding each ability value indicated by the card data of each equipment card stored in the equipment table to each ability value indicated by the card data of the character card stored in the equipment table, The ability of the character to perform may be calculated. Note that a negative value may be set as the ability value. Moreover, the area | region where the card data of a character card is set may be arbitrary, and may be made into the predetermined specific area (for example, lower left area | region of a card | curd).

  In the embodiment described above, the card data is extracted by an optical method. However, a card equipped with an IC memory storing card data is used, and the card data is read by an IC card reader. It is good also as a structure. In this case, the game apparatus 10 may include a position detection unit that detects the placement position of the card placed on the flat panel 16a. As this position detection unit, for example, a unit that performs position detection by a triangulation method using radio waves or sound waves output from an IC memory can be considered. In the case of the above configuration, the card data may be read from the IC memory of each superimposed card by adjusting the focus of the data reading laser. As described above, the game apparatus 10 is configured to extract each card data stored in an IC memory mounted on a plurality of cards that are superimposed and placed on the flat panel 16a. Even in such a case, the card data can be read from each of the superimposed cards 50.

  In the above-described embodiment, the game apparatus 10 controls the progress of the game in accordance with a combination of a plurality of card data extracted from a plurality of cards placed on the flat panel 16a. Therefore, it is possible to determine different action contents depending on how to superimpose which cards and how to increase the variation of the game.

  In the above-described embodiment, the two-dimensional barcode indicating the card data is printed on the card 50. However, the present invention is not limited to the two-dimensional barcode, but other information patterns such as one or two or more barcodes. There may be.

  The present invention is useful for application to a card game system that reads card data stored in a card and advances a game.
