  For the in-team question creation process, when the player operates the mobile phone 39 and selects the team information creation question menu in the team information, the mobile server 38 performs the in-team question creation process by operating the mobile phone 39. Is performed (step S14). Details of the in-team question creation process will be described later.

  When the in-team question creation process is completed, if necessary, the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select the team information update menu in the team information, and the mobile server 38 operates the team by operating the mobile phone 39. An internal problem update process is performed (step S15). Details of the in-team problem update process will be described later.

  When the player has performed all necessary processing, the mobile phone 39 is operated to log out from the mobile phone site (.NET: dot net) (step S16).

  In the description of this embodiment, for the sake of convenience, the in-team question creation process means a process when a player creates an in-team problem for the first time, and the in-team problem update process means an in-team problem already created by the player. It means processing when changing a problem.

(In-team question creation process)
The team problem creation process (step S14) by the player in the game system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the in-team problem creation processing in the game system according to the present embodiment, FIG. 12 is a mobile phone screen in the in-team problem creation processing in the game system according to the present embodiment, and FIGS. It is a figure which shows the specific example of a problem creation process within a team.

  First, the portable server 38 searches for a team member of a team in which the logged-in player is participating (step S21). The portable server 38 searches the team data table 160 for the team in which the player is participating, and searches for team members belonging to the team.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a player other than the player is participating in the team (step S22). If no player other than the player participates in the team, even if an in-team question is created, the transmission destination (question destination) does not exist. A comment “Cannot create question” is displayed on the screen (step S23), and the in-team question creation process is terminated.

  If a player other than the player is participating in the team, creation of an in-team question is started.

  First, the mobile server 38 displays an in-team question posting page as shown in FIG. 12A on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S24).

  In the upper part of the in-team question posting page, two question posting frames “1 question” and “2 questions” are displayed for one player, and unanswered information on the in-team question is displayed in the lower part.

  Next, when the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select one of the posting frames (step S25), the mobile server 38 displays the in-team problem as shown in FIG. 12B on the screen of the mobile phone 39. A creation page is displayed (step S26).

  The in-team question creation page includes a question sentence input area, a correct answer input area, and an incorrect answer input area, and a decision button is displayed on the lower right side thereof. In this embodiment, the question format within the team is limited to a two-choice question of a correct answer and an incorrect answer to the question sentence.

  Next, the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input the question sentence for the in-team question in the question sentence input area (step S27).

  The problem sentence of the problem within the team has a restriction that (a) the prescribed number of characters, for example, 30 characters is not exceeded, and (b) a predetermined prohibited word is not included. Check that these restrictions are observed.

  When the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input a question sentence, the mobile server 38 determines whether or not the specified number of characters has been exceeded (step S28). If the number of characters is exceeded, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “the number of characters is over” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S29), and returns to step S27.

  If the prescribed number of characters has not been exceeded, the portable server 38 determines whether or not a prohibited word is included in the question sentence (step S30). If the prohibited word is included, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “There are words that cannot be used” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S31), and returns to step S27.

  When the question text of the in-team problem entered by the player operating the mobile phone 39 does not exceed the prescribed number of characters and does not include a predetermined prohibited word, the input of the question text is terminated.

  Subsequently, the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input the correct answer of the in-team question in the correct answer input area (step S32).

  The correct answer to the problem within the team has a restriction that (a) the specified number of characters, for example, 10 characters is not exceeded, and (b) a predetermined prohibited word is not included. Check if restrictions are being followed.

  When the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input a correct answer, the mobile server 38 determines whether or not the specified number of characters has been exceeded (step S33). When the number of characters is exceeded, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “the number of characters is over” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S34), and returns to step S32.

  If the specified number of characters is not exceeded, the portable server 38 determines whether or not the correct answer includes a prohibited word (step S35). If the prohibited word is included, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “There are words that cannot be used” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S36), and the process returns to step S32.

  If the correct answer of the in-team problem entered by the player operating the mobile phone 39 does not exceed the prescribed number of characters and does not include a predetermined prohibited word, the correct answer input ends.

  Subsequently, the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input an incorrect answer for the in-team problem in the incorrect answer input area (step S37).

  The incorrect answer to the problem within the team has a restriction that (a) the specified number of characters, for example, 10 characters is not exceeded, and (b) a predetermined prohibited word is not included. Check that these restrictions are observed.

  When the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input an incorrect answer, the mobile server 38 determines whether or not the specified number of characters has been exceeded (step S38). When the number of characters is exceeded, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “the number of characters is over” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S39), and returns to step S37.

  If the specified number of characters is not exceeded, the portable server 38 determines whether or not the prohibited word is included in the incorrect answer (step S39). If the prohibited word is included, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “There are words that cannot be used” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S41), and returns to step S37.

  If the incorrect answer of the in-team problem input by the player operating the mobile phone 39 does not exceed the prescribed number of characters and does not include a predetermined prohibited word, the input of the incorrect answer ends.

  When the question sentence input, correct answer input, and incorrect answer input are completed on the in-team question creation page, and the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select and execute the decision button, as shown in FIG. A transmission destination selection page for a problem within the team is displayed (step S42).

  The destination selection page has a full select button to select all team members and individual select buttons to individually select the members of the players belonging to the team in order to select the players to send the team issues. And a send button is displayed on the lower right side.

  In this embodiment, since the team is composed of a maximum of eight players, a maximum of seven member names and individual selection buttons are displayed. The member names belonging to the team are acquired and stored when the mobile server 38 executes the team member search (step S21).

  Next, when the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select the transmission destination of the in-team problem and selects / executes the send button (step S43), the created in-team problem is regarded as the problem addressed to the selected team member. Registration is performed (step S44).

  Specifically, the in-team problem is stored in the in-team problem database 170 shown in FIG. For each question, the question number, the team name to which it belongs, the contributor who is the player who created and posted the question, the destination that the question was addressed to, the text of the question, the correct answer to the question, the incorrect answer to the question, Date and time are registered. Even for the same problem, if the destination is different, a separate problem number is assigned and stored separately.

  Next, the portable server 38 determines whether or not to post a further question (step S45), and returns to step S24 if a further question is posted. If no question is posted, the in-team question creation process (step S14) is terminated.

  A specific example of the in-team problem creation process will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The specific example of FIG. 13 is a case where the player A creates an in-team problem and asks all team members who belong to the team.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the question sentence is “What is the first CD I bought?”, The correct answer is “15 nights”, and the incorrect answer is “Masquerade”. As shown in FIG. 13B, the transmission destination of the in-team problem is all team members.

  The intra-team problem created by this specific example is stored in problem numbers 001 to 007 in the intra-team problem database of FIG. The problem numbers 001 to 007 are all the information other than the transmission destination, that is, the team, the poster, the quiz text, the correct answer, the incorrect answer, and the posting date / time, but the transmission destination is B, C, D, E, Different from F, G, H.

  The specific example of FIG. 14 is a case where the player A creates an in-team problem and asks a specific team member who belongs to the team.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, the question sentence is “I have 100 or more CDs”, the correct answer is “◯”, and the incorrect answer is “x”. As shown in FIG. 14B, the transmission destination of the in-team problem is Mr. D, Mr. F, and Mr. H among the team members. As in this specific example, the intra-team problem may be a two-choice question where the correct / incorrect answer is “◯” or “×”.

  The intra-team problem created by this specific example is stored in problem numbers 008 to 010 in the intra-team problem database of FIG. Problem numbers 008 to 010 have the same information except for the destination, that is, team, contributor, quiz text, correct answer, incorrect answer, and posting date, but the destination is different from D, F, and H. Yes.

(In-team issue update process)
The in-team problem update process (step S15) by the player in the game system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The in-team problem update process is a process for changing an in-team problem already created by the player.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the in-team problem update process in the game system according to the present embodiment, FIG. 16 is a mobile phone screen in the in-team problem update process in the game system according to the present embodiment, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the problem database in a team at the time of an update.

  First, the portable server 38 searches for a team member of a team in which the logged-in player is participating (step S51). The portable server 38 searches the team data table 160 for the team in which the player is participating, and searches for team members belonging to the team. At this time, the number of unanswered team member questions and the number of unanswered questions to members are also searched.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a player other than the player is participating in the team (step S52). If a player other than the player is not participating in the team, even if the already created in-team problem is updated, the transmission destination (question destination) does not exist. A comment “Cannot create problem” is displayed on the screen of the telephone 39 (step S53), and the in-team problem update process is terminated.

  If a player other than the player is participating in the team, update the in-team issue.

  First, the mobile server 38 displays an in-team problem update page as shown in FIG. 16A on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S54).

  As shown in FIG. 16 (a), the upper part of the intra-team problem update page displays a post frame “1 question” and “2 questions” for one player, and the lower part displays the intra-team problem update page. Unanswered information about the problem is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (a), as unanswered information, the number of questions that other team members have not answered among the questions that are addressed to the player (the number of unanswered team member questions ○ question) and the player The number of questions that have not been answered among the questions addressed to other team members (the number of questions that have not been answered to members) is displayed.

  Next, when the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select one of the posting frames (step S55), the mobile server 38 searches the in-team problem database 170 and updates the in-team problem information ( In step S56), the in-team question answer status page as shown in FIG. 16B is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S57).

  As shown in FIG. 16B, detailed information on the problem stored in the selected posting frame is displayed at the top of the in-team question answer status page. The date of submission was “September 10, 2008”, the details of the problems within the team were the question sentence “What was the first CD I bought?”, Correct answer “15 night”, incorrect answer “Masquerade” Is displayed.

  At the bottom of the in-team question answer status page, the answer status based on the current in-team question database 170 is displayed.

  If the current in-team problem database 170 is in a state as shown in FIG. 17, the following answer status is displayed as shown in FIG.

  Since the answer result of question number 001 is “◯”, “Mr. B correct answer” is displayed.

  Since the answer result of question number 002 is “×”, “Mr. C incorrect answer” is displayed.

  Since there is no answer result for question number 003, “Mr. D is not answered” is displayed.

  Since the answer result of the question number 004 is “◯”, “Mr. E correct answer” is displayed.

  Since there is no answer result for question number 005, “Mr. F is not answered” is displayed.

  Since the answer result of question number 006 is “×”, “Mr. G incorrect answer” is displayed.

  Since the answer result of the question number 007 is “◯”, “Mr. H correct answer” is displayed.

  A new posting button for discarding the current in-team question and posting a new in-team question is displayed on the lower right side of the in-team question answer status page.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select / execute a new posting button on the in-team question answer status page (step S58).

  If the new posting button is not selected / executed even after the predetermined time has elapsed, the portable server 38 determines that the player has no intention to make a new posting, and ends the in-team problem update process.

  If the player operates the mobile phone 39 within a predetermined time and selects / executes a new posting button on the in-team question answer status page, a warning to the player is displayed as shown in FIG. 16C (step S59). ). At the bottom of the in-team question response status page, the comment “If you make a new post, the question and response status in this post will be deleted. Are you sure?” A cancel button and an OK button are displayed on the lower left side.

  Next, it is determined whether the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select / execute the cancel button on the in-team question answer status page or to select / execute the OK button (step S60).

  When the cancel button is selected / executed, the portable server 38 determines that the player does not intend to make a new post, and ends the in-team problem update process.

  When the OK button is selected / executed, the mobile server 38 displays the in-team question creation page as shown in FIG. 12B on the screen of the mobile phone 39 and executes the in-team question creation process. .

  The in-team question creation page shown in FIG. 12B is provided with a question sentence input area, a correct answer input area, and an incorrect answer input area, and a decision button is displayed on the lower right side thereof.

  Next, the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input the question sentence of the in-team question in the question sentence input area (step S61).

  When the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input a question sentence, the mobile server 38 determines whether or not the specified number of characters has been exceeded (step S62). When the number of characters is exceeded, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “the number of characters is over” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S63), and returns to step S61.

  If the specified number of characters is not exceeded, the portable server 38 determines whether or not a prohibited word is included in the question sentence (step S64). If the prohibited word is included, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “There are words that cannot be used” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S65), and returns to step S61.

  When the question text of the in-team problem entered by the player operating the mobile phone 39 does not exceed the prescribed number of characters and does not include a predetermined prohibited word, the input of the question text is terminated.

  Subsequently, the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input the correct answer of the in-team question in the correct answer input area (step S66).

  When the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input a correct answer, the mobile server 38 determines whether or not the specified number of characters has been exceeded (step S67). When the number of characters is exceeded, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “the number of characters is over” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S68), and returns to step S66.

  If the specified number of characters is not exceeded, the portable server 38 determines whether or not the prohibited word is included in the correct answer (step S69). If the prohibited word is included, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “There are unusable words included” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S70), and the process returns to step S66.

  If the correct answer of the in-team problem entered by the player operating the mobile phone 39 does not exceed the prescribed number of characters and does not include a predetermined prohibited word, the correct answer input ends.

  Subsequently, the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input an incorrect answer for the in-team problem into the incorrect answer input area (step S71).

  When the player operates the mobile phone 39 to input an incorrect answer, the mobile server 38 determines whether or not the specified number of characters has been exceeded (step S72). When the number of characters is exceeded, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “the number of characters is over” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S73), and returns to step S71.

  If the specified number of characters is not exceeded, the portable server 38 determines whether or not the prohibited word is included in the incorrect answer (step S74). If the prohibited word is included, the mobile server 38 displays a comment “There are words that cannot be used” on the screen of the mobile phone 39 (step S75), and returns to step S71.

  If the incorrect answer of the in-team problem input by the player operating the mobile phone 39 does not exceed the prescribed number of characters and does not include a predetermined prohibited word, the input of the incorrect answer ends.

  When the question sentence input, correct answer input, and incorrect answer input are completed on the in-team question creation page, and the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select and execute the decision button, as shown in FIG. A transmission destination selection page for a problem within the team is displayed (step S76).

  The destination selection page has a full select button to select all team members and individual select buttons to individually select the members of the players belonging to the team in order to select the players to send the team issues. And a send button is displayed on the lower right side.

  Next, when the player operates the mobile phone 39 to select the transmission destination of the in-team problem and selects / executes the send button (step S77), the created in-team problem is the problem addressed to the selected team member. Registration is performed (step S78).

  Next, the portable server 38 determines whether to update the problem further (step S79), and returns to step S54 if the problem is updated further. If the problem is not further updated, the intra-team problem update process (step S15) is terminated.

(Question and answer processing for team issues)
Next, the question / answer process for the in-team problem in the game system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the question / answer process for an in-team problem in the game system according to the present embodiment, and FIG. FIG.

  First, the player inserts coins into the game device 12, reads the member card 16 as an IC card, and logs in to the quiz game (step S81).

  When logging in to the quiz game, the player operates the game device 12 to issue a battle request with another player (step S82).

  Based on the battle request from each player, the server 30 starts matching of the players who battle in the quiz game (step S83).

  The game system of this embodiment performs matching based on a predetermined rule from a large number of game apparatuses 12 provided in amusement facilities throughout the country, and determines a quiz game opponent player. For this reason, matching requires a certain amount of time, and the player gets bored without doing anything. Therefore, in this embodiment, a training mode for using the matching time to get used to the quiz game is prepared.

  When the player matching process is started (step S83), the server 30 starts the training mode (step S84). In the training mode, the server 30 issues a training problem as practice of the actual quiz game. In the present embodiment, the above-described intra-team problem is presented in the training mode.

  First, it is determined whether there is an unanswered in-team problem (step S85). The in-team problem database 170 is searched to check whether there is an in-team problem addressed to itself by other members of the team.

For example, when the in-team problem database 170 is in the state shown in FIG. 17, there is no unanswered in-team problem that the logged-in player is “B”. If the logged-in player is “C”, there is no unanswered in-team problem. If the logged-in player is “D”, there are two questions in the team that have not been answered (question numbers 003 and 008).
If the logged-in player is “E”, there is no unanswered in-team problem. If the logged-in player is “F”, there are two questions in the team that have not been answered (question numbers 005 and 009). If the logged-in player is “G”, there is no unanswered in-team problem. If the logged-in player is “H”, there is no in-team problem that has not been answered.

  If it is determined in step S85 that an unanswered in-team problem exists, the in-team problem to be asked is determined (step S86). If it is determined in step S85 that there is no unanswered in-team problem, the process proceeds to step S89.

  In step S86, the question within the team to be given is determined as follows.

  If there is one unanswered question in the team, the question is presented. When there are a plurality of unanswered in-team questions, the question to be asked is determined based on a predetermined rule. In the present embodiment, the determination is made based on the posting date and time of the problem, for example, questions with older posting date and time are presented.

  In the case of the team problem database 170 shown in FIG. 17, if the logged-in player is “D”, there are two unanswered team questions (question numbers 003 and 008), but the posting date is older. The in-team problem with question number 003 is presented.

  As a method for determining the question to be given when there are a plurality of unanswered intra-team questions, other rules may be used. For example, a question with a newer posting date may be given. Moreover, you may make it give priority to the question in a team with a high response rate of another team member. Moreover, you may make it give priority to the question in a team with a high correct answer rate of other team members.

  The game apparatus 12 displays a game screen as shown in FIG. 19A on the display monitor 34.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, “Matching...” Is displayed at the top of the game screen, indicating that matching is currently being performed, and the problem number 003 is displayed. “Problem from Mr. A” is displayed at the center of the game screen, and the question sentence with question number 003, correct answer, and incorrect answer are displayed.

  The player sees the in-team problem displayed on the display monitor 34 of the game apparatus 12, and touches the option that is considered correct, thereby answering the in-team problem (step S87).

  If the answer from the player is correct, a large circle is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the game apparatus 12 as shown in FIG. 19B, and the problem number 003 in the in-team problem database 170 shown in FIG. Register the result. For example, “20080915181502 (September 15, 2008, 18:15:03)” is stored in the result date column, and “correct answer” is stored in the result column.

  When the questions and answers (step S87) of the in-team problem are finished, it is determined whether or not the matching by the server 30 is finished (step S88).

  If the matching is not finished, the training mode is continued. In the present embodiment, in the training mode, one question in the team is first given, and then the training problem prepared on the system side is given.

  If it is determined in step S88 that the matching by the server 30 has not ended, next, the training problem prepared on the system side is given (step S89). As shown in FIG. 19C, a predetermined training problem is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the game apparatus 12 as the second question in the training mode. The player answers the training question.

  When the training questions and answers (step S89) are completed, it is determined whether the matching by the server 30 is completed (step S90).

  If the matching is not completed, the training mode is continued, the process returns to step S89, the training problem prepared on the system side is given, and the player answers (step S89). The training mode is continued until matching by the server 30 is completed, and similar processing is repeated.

  If it is determined in steps S88 and S90 that the matching process by the server 30 has been completed, a quiz game between the matched players is started (step S91). Subsequently, a quiz game is executed (step S92), and when the quiz game ends, the player logs out from the quiz game, the member card 16 as an IC card is ejected (step S93), and the game ends.

[Modified Embodiment]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, a game system in which game devices provided in an amusement facility are connected to be communicable via a network has been described as an example. However, the principle of the present invention is not via a game device but via a network. You may use the home game device provided with the means to communicate with a server, a personal computer, or mobile phones, such as a mobile phone, PHS, and PDA.

  In the above-described embodiment, a game system in which a player operates by playing separate game devices is described as an example. However, the control of the game device when two players operate and battle the same game device is described here. The invention may be applied. That is, the present invention may be applied to a case where a plurality of input units are provided in a single game device without using a server, or in a case where a plurality of game devices are directly connected for battle.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the IC card was used for the identification of a player, you may use a magnetic card, a commuter pass, a Suica card, an Edy card, a mobile phone, etc. Furthermore, as long as it identifies a player, means for identifying an individual such as a fingerprint or an iris may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the game is a battle-type game in which two players play one-on-one. However, even if the game is a battle-type game in which a plurality of players form a team and battle each other in team-to-team. Good.

  In the above embodiment, the problem that the player gives a question is referred to as a problem within the team, and each player creates a problem that is given to another player in the team. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Absent.

  For example, you may make it the question which a player asks a question give to other players other than a team. Even in a game in which no team is provided, a problem created by the player may be given. Further, the questions may be given without selecting the question destinations created by the player. In this case, a question destination may be determined based on a predetermined rule by the game system.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the problem in a team was set as a training mode using the time during matching in the game system which performs a quiz game, the game system which performs another game may be sufficient.

  For example, in a game system for performing a fighting game, a problem created by another player such as the present invention may be presented and enjoyed as a mini game using the time during matching.

  Regardless of whether the game system is a matching game or not, using waiting time such as loading of stage data, etc., and waiting time such as waiting time for other players to finish, You may be made to entertain and entertain questions created by other players, such as the present invention.

  Furthermore, if the game machine has a network connection function such as a personal computer (PC) or a game dedicated machine (XBOX360, PS3, NDS, etc. (registered trademark)), the running game itself does not require matching. However, you may entertain and entertain questions created by other players, such as the present invention. In this case, the player creation problem may be created using the game machine itself.

  In the above embodiment, the game apparatus is a so-called arcade game installed in a store. However, the game apparatus has a network connection function such as a personal computer (PC) or a game-dedicated machine (XBOX360, PS3, NDS, etc. (registered trademark)). It may be a so-called home game device.

  Furthermore, the information terminal may be a mobile information terminal such as a mobile phone, a mobile phone such as a PHS, a PDA, etc., such as a personal computer (PC) or a game machine (XBOX360, PS3, NDS, etc. (registered trademark)) It may be a so-called home game device having a network connection function.

  In the above-described embodiment, the team participation process is premised, and the problem is given to other members participating in the team. However, another embodiment may be implemented.
