It is a thing.
JP 2004-229843 A

The above-mentioned patent document 1 is a system in which the game server informs each game terminal device that a violation has been made, and is not a system that takes measures beyond informing a person who has made a violation to be careful. .
Therefore, even if the game player of each game terminal device can pay attention to the violator by such notification information, if the violator intends to participate in the next game, other game players want to play You can't choose as no opponent.
Further, even if the game producer can point out a specific manner violator as in Patent Document 1, there is no means to effectively prevent this when the game producer participates.

  In such a situation, even if an attempt is made to participate in a specific network game that he / she likes, if there are violators as described above, the game player cannot resolve unfairness and disgust.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and its purpose is to provide a manner in a network game in which each game player can refuse to participate in a manner violation in a network game. It is to provide a violator extraction system.

In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a plurality of game machines, a server device, and communication means for performing communication between each game machine and the server device. In the game system in which a game can be performed, the game machine has a rejection player question screen display means for displaying a screen asking whether or not there is a player who does not want to play the game together in the future, The server apparatus includes a reject player selection screen display means for displaying a screen for displaying and selecting a player list of the game played immediately before when an operation indicating that there is a player to be rejected is performed. Storage means for storing a player list having items of rejected players for registered players, and the rejected players from the game machine And a list adding means for writing a name for identifying the rejected player in the rejected player item of the game machine player in the player list when receiving information on the rejected player selected on the selection screen. .
The invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is a game system comprising a plurality of game machines, a server device, and communication means for communicating between each game machine and the server device, wherein a game can be played between the game machines. The game machine has search request means for requesting access to a server device and searching for an opponent when a national battle is selected at the start of the game. A storage device for storing a player list having an item of refusal player, and a player of a game machine requested by searching for a battle candidate and referring to the player list when a search for a battle candidate is requested by the search requesting device, It is determined whether or not a match rejection application has been made from the searched match candidates. If a match rejection application has been made by the match candidate, the match candidate is If the match candidate is not applied for a match rejection from the match candidate, it is determined whether or not the match candidate is included in the player refused by the requested game machine player, and from the requested game machine player If the player is included in the player who has been denied the battle, the player who has been refused the battle is excluded from the battle candidates. Search determination processing means for searching for a match candidate until the number of opponents is reached, and means for transmitting the result of the search determination processing means to the game machine, and applying for a game rejection to the player of the requested game machine The player and the player who the requested game machine player refuses to play are excluded from the network game battle candidates.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, when the number of players with the same ID written in the rejected player item reaches a predetermined condition in the server device, the special list is registered in the special list. It has a registration means.

  Conventionally, even if there are players with poor game play manners, it has been difficult to accurately exclude from play, or it has been necessary to manually perform the process itself such as forced account stop, etc. Since it can be automated to some extent and the method becomes simple, the configuration can be easily implemented. Also, by eliminating players with poor play manners from the game, it is possible to prevent a general player from diminishing their willingness to play.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of a manner violation extraction system in a network game according to the present invention.
Each of the game machines 10a to 10n is a game machine installed in a store in each prefecture. For example, the game machine 10a is installed in an XX store whose ID registration location is in XX ward, Tokyo. The game machines 10a to 10n are connected to the network 3 via the communication lines 2a to 2n, respectively. The game machines 10a to 10n can communicate with each other and access the server device 20 to transmit and receive information. it can.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the circuit of the game machine and the server device constituting the manner violation extraction system.
When a coin is inserted from the coin insertion slot 8, the coin is detected, and the information is transmitted to the CPU 44 via the coin related device 40 and the input / output processing device 42. Setting values such as the number of coins inserted, that is, the number of coins and the number of plays are stored in the backup memory 41.
The ROM 47 has a control program 47a for controlling the entire game machine housing, a search request program 47b for requesting opponent search, a battle rejection player question / selection program 47c, a battle game program 47d, a communication processing program 47e, and data necessary for the game 47f is stored. The RAM 46 is used as a work area for the game control unit and stores operation information during the game.

Under the control of the game control unit 44a, the image processing unit 45 displays a waiting screen on the monitor 9 when waiting, and displays a mode selection menu screen that allows the user to select a nationwide battle at the start of a battle game by inserting coins.
The CPU 44 reads the control program 47a, the search request program 47b, the battle rejection player question / selection program 47c, the battle game program 47d, and the communication processing program 47e from the ROM 47, so that the game control unit 44a, the search request unit 44b, and the battle rejection player question screen are displayed. The functions of the selection screen display unit 44c and the battle game execution unit 44d are realized. Further, the function of the communication control unit 44e is realized by reading the communication processing program 47e.

The game control unit 44a performs control in a standby state of the game machine, control at the start of the battle game, control at the time of executing the battle game, control at the end of the game, and the like.
The search request unit 44b is configured such that when the player selects the nationwide battle mode at the start of the game, the player of the game machine requested to search from the battle candidates searched by accessing the server device 20 is denied the battle, If the player who requested the battle candidate refuses the battle, the player requests that the search process be repeated to remove the player from the battle candidate. The game machine can start the game when the number of opponents reaches a predetermined number of opponents.

  At the end of the game, the battle rejection player question screen / selection screen display unit 44c displays a screen asking whether there is a player who does not want to play the game together in the previous battle, and the player plays the game together. When an operation that there is a player who does not want to be performed is performed, the members who played in the previous battle are displayed, and the player is allowed to select a player who refuses to play. As a result, the information on the selected opponent-refusal player is sent to the server device 20 under the control of the communication control unit 44e, and is registered in the player list by the server device 20.

  The battle game execution unit 44d advances the battle game in accordance with the player's battle operation. As described above, the communication control unit 44e communicates with the server device and other game machines via the communication unit 43. For example, information on a player requesting a search, a report from the server device, information on other players constituting the group, and other players in the enemy group.

The server device 20 includes a communication unit 21, a ROM 22, a database 23 and a CPU 24. The ROM 22 stores a search determination program 22a, a list addition program 22b, a registration criterion determination program 22c, and a communication processing program 22d. The RAM 25 is used as a work area when the CPU performs processing, and temporarily stores data (player ID, etc.) during search and determination processing, for example.
The database 23 stores a player list table 23a, a special list table 23b, and condition data 23c.

The player list table 23a is a list of players registered from game machines installed in stores in each prefecture, and the player ID, character name, name, ID registration place, rejected player, character level for the registered player. And character jobs are written.
For example, in the example of the player list table of FIG. 4A, the player whose ID is “01234” has the character name “Quintman”, the name “Taito Ichiro”, the ID registration location “Tokyo”, and the refusal player “Taro Shibuya”. , Kanagawa Man ”, the character level is“ 1 ”, and the character job is“ Sniper ”. The player refuses the match against two players.

The special list table 23b is placed when a player who refuses the match reaches a predetermined condition, and a penalty is imposed if the player is placed on the special list table 23b.
For example, according to the example of the special list table in FIG. 4B, the “quintman” with the ID “01234” is placed on the special list table.
The condition data 23c describes predetermined conditions.
・ There are more than n reports from players with different IDs. Players with the same ID are written in the item of rejected players of n or more players with different IDs.
-The notification comes from the ID of a player who plays in prefectures with different m numbers.
When the above two conditions are satisfied, it is registered in the special list table as a predetermined condition is reached.
For example, if n = 20 and m = 5, the notification is added to the special list table when there are 20 notifications from players with different IDs and notifications are from players playing in 5 different prefectures.

In FIG. 2, the CPU 24 reads the search determination program 22a, the list addition program 22b, the registration reference determination program 22c, and the communication processing program 22d from the ROM 22 to thereby search the search determination processing unit 24a, the list addition unit 24b, the registration reference determination unit 24c, and the communication control. The function of the unit 24d is realized.
The search determination processing unit 24a searches for a match candidate and refers to the player list table, and the player of the game machine that requested the search has applied for a match rejection from another player of the searched match candidate, or the match candidate searched. However, it is determined whether or not the game is rejected by the player of the game machine that requested the search, and if applicable, the player is removed from the battle candidate. The search is repeated until such a process is repeated until the number of battle candidates reaches a predetermined number of battles.

When the list adding unit 24b receives information on the rejected player specified on the battle rejected player question screen / selection screen display unit 44c from the game machine, the list adding unit 24b sets the reject player as the rejected player item of the game machine player in the player list table. Write the ID.
When the ID of the rejected player is described in the item of the rejected player of a certain player in the player list, the registration criterion determining unit 24c determines whether or not a predetermined condition is reached for the rejected player, and the predetermined condition is reached. In this case, the rejected player who reaches the predetermined condition is registered in the special list table.

3A and 3B are flowcharts showing the processing flow of the manner violation extraction system.
The game control unit 44a inquires of the server device 20 when a coin is inserted in the standby state of the game machine (step (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 001). In the server device 20, the CPU 24 refers to the special list table to determine whether or not the player who wants to start the game is on the special list. If the player is on the special list, the CPU 24 penalizes the game machine. Notification is made (S002).
If it is not on the special list, it will be reported to the game console. The game control unit 44a of the game machine displays a mode selection screen. When the player operates the joystick 6 to select the national battle and presses the enter button 7, the national battle mode is set (S003).

Next, the search request unit 44b of the game machine requests the processing to access the server device 20 and search for an opponent. Upon request, the search request unit 44b transmits the ID of the player of the game machine to the server device 20 by the communication control unit 44e.
In response to this, the search determination processing unit 24a of the server device 20 refers to the player list table in the database 23, and the player of the game machine that requested the search has applied for a match rejection from another player of the searched match candidate. (S004, S005). This is done by searching for the rejected player item in the player list table. For example, if the player who requested the search in FIG. It is checked whether the character name of the player “01234” is written. In this example, since the quintman character name is included in the item of the refusal player of two other players (Taro Shibuya, Kanagawa Man), these refusal players are excluded from the candidates and the search is performed again (S007). If there is no refusal player, the process proceeds to S006.

Next, the search determination processing unit 24a determines whether or not the next searched match candidate is included in the players that the player with ID “01234” refuses to play (S006). This can be determined by examining the item of the rejected player of the player with ID “01234” in the player list table. It is determined that “Taro Shibuya” and “Kanagawa Man” are written in the item of the rejected player with ID “01234”. The display of this player is deleted from the list of candidates for the monitor 9.
By repeating the search determination in this manner, when the player who rejected the player who requested the search and the player who rejected the game who requested the search are all excluded from the battle candidates, and become the candidates for the default number of players The battle will be started (S008). It should be noted that the processes of the above examples S004, S005, S006, and S007 are performed by the number of opponents.

During this search determination, if another player starts up a game machine to start a battle play and performs an operation to participate in a network game, the search determination is made as described above.
A battle game execution part 44d performs a battle process when the player of each game machine operates button (A) 4, button (B) 5, joystick 6, and decision button 7. Then, when the battle is over (S009), in each game machine, the battle refusal player question screen / selection screen display unit 44c displays a screen for asking questions to the battle refusal player on the monitor 9 (S010). This is a question as to whether there are players who do not want to play the game together in the future among the players who participated in the previous game as illustrated in FIG.

When the player operates the joystick 6 to select “NO” and presses the enter button 7, an end screen is displayed and the game ends (S011).
On the other hand, when the player operates the joystick 6 to select “YES” and presses the decision button 7, the battle rejection player question screen / selection screen display unit 44 c displays the members who played in the previous battle, and the player selects from the list. Prompt to select players who do not want to play together in the future. FIG. 6 shows an example of a list of players who have battled immediately before.

In this way, a screen for selecting a player who refuses to play is displayed, and the player selects the player by operating the joystick 6 and pressing the enter button 7. In FIG. 6, “Tatoman, Jiro Shimoimazumi” is selected.
When the determination button is pressed, the information is transmitted to the server device 20 (S012).
In the server device 20, the list adding unit 24b writes the name of the player to be rejected in the item of the rejected player in the list of players corresponding to the game machine (S013).
Next, the registration criterion determination unit 24c refers to the condition data 23c to determine whether or not the player to be rejected added to the player list meets the registration criterion (S014, S015).
If they do not match, the process ends. If they match, they are added to the special list table shown in FIG. 4B (S016). The player added to the special list table is penalized as described above, and the special list is a so-called black list.

  This is a network game system using game machines installed at game centers in prefectures.
