Description

  The present invention relates to a technology for controlling a game device having a function of training a game character.

  There has been proposed an arcade-type game device based on the theme of horse racing, which has a function of nurturing racehorses and jockeys owned by players (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In this type of game device, a player who has purchased an IC card can train a game character to be trained as an owner game during game play after card login. In the case of a horse racing game, the ability value of the racehorse can be increased by training the racehorse or giving a fodder. It is necessary to use medals for training and fodder, and the number of medals required for training and fodder that can be expected to be highly effective increases. Moreover, in order to increase the ability value of a racehorse, it is necessary to spend time on training and fodder.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of time allocation for a horse racing game. One game corresponds to one race and corresponds to one week in the game. One game takes about 3 minutes in real time. One game starts at the start of the game, ends at the end of the game, and is repeated while the game apparatus is operating. Also, the loading time starts when the game starts, the betting starts when the loading time ends, and the race starts when the betting ends when the betting time ends. During the betting time, each player can vote for the race result. From the start of the race, the race ends when the race time ends, resulting in a payout time, and when the result payout time ends, the game ends. During the result payout time, display of the race result and payout of the payout (prize) for voting are performed.

  There is stable time from the start of the bet to the end of the race, and the player can perform various operations on the stables he owns. It is during this stable time that the racehorse can be trained and fed.

JP 2001-321571 A

  As described above, in conventional game devices, game characters can be trained during game play, so game play time is often devoted to the breeding itself. It was a hindrance to allocating game play time to a scene where the ability of the training target was demonstrated. In particular, when trying to grow a plurality of objects manually, the manual training time within one game (within the stable time) is limited, so the number of objects that can be manually trained is limited. Further, in this case, there is a problem that it takes time and effort for the player to operate.

<Operation>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the ranch where the racehorse can be placed, the stable and the train.

  In FIG. 4, the player can place his own racehorse on either the ranch, stable or train. Data indicating whether the racehorse is in the ranch, stable or train is managed in the satellite device 2. The racehorse database 122 of the main device 1 may be centrally managed.

  The life of a racehorse does not change when it is grazed on the ranch, but when it is in a stable or train station, the life decreases every game (FIG. 1). When running in a race, the racehorse must be moved to the stable and registered for a run from the stable before one or more games. Race horses can be moved between the ranch and stables. It is also possible to perform automatic training (automatic training) by sending racehorses in the ranch or stables to the train. When the automatic breeding in the training center is finished (including the case where the player interrupts before finishing), the racehorse is automatically moved to the ranch.

  FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing at the start of automatic growth.

  In FIG. 5, when the player logs in to the card with the satellite device 2 (step S101), the satellite device 2 notifies the main device 1 of login (step S102). That is, when the player inserts the IC card 3 into the card reader / writer 24 of the satellite device 2, the card data input / output control unit 202 detects card insertion, the login processing unit 208 starts login processing, and the video output unit 204. The password input screen is displayed on the monitor 22 through the player, and the player inputs the password from the touch panel 23 and receives the password through the input instruction receiving unit 203. The login processing unit 208 compares the password entered from the player with the password recorded on the IC card 3, and if they match, determines that the player is an appropriate player and permits login. The login processing unit 208 transmits a login notification including the satellite ID and the card ID to the main device 1, and the satellite management unit 102 of the main device 1 manages the satellite ID and the card ID in association with the satellite correspondence table 121. .

  Thereafter, in the satellite device 2, when the player selects the racehorse to be automatically trained (step S103) and selects the train button (step S104), the satellite device 2 makes a training request to the main device 1 (step S105). . The racehorse is selected from the ranch screen or stable screen displayed on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 under the control of the ranch mode management unit 216 or stable mode management unit 215 of the owner game management unit 212. 23 is performed by selecting a racehorse. When the player has a plurality of racehorses, a desired racehorse can be selected from them.

  The selection by the touch panel 23 is recognized by the racehorse mode management unit 213 via the input instruction receiving unit 203. The selection of the train button is performed by selecting the train button displayed on the racehorse screen displayed on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 under the control of the racehorse mode management unit 213. . FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user interface for selecting a racehorse to be automatically bred. (A) is a racehorse screen after selecting a racehorse from the ranch, and (b) is after selecting a racehorse from the stable. This is a racehorse screen. In either case, the selection is made by touching the “Tele” button (Trecent button) B1 at the bottom of the screen.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the training request is made, the automatic breeding unit 110 of the racehorse mode management unit 107 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 makes the number of medals (credits) of the satellite device 2 that has made the training request. Then, the remaining life of the target racehorse, whether or not there is a vacancy in the train center, etc. are determined (step S106). If the train center request can be accepted, “OK” is returned (step S107).

  Next, when the player selects the type of auto training in the satellite device 2 (step S108), the selected type of auto training is notified from the satellite device 2 to the main device 1 (step S109). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a user interface for selecting the type of training (training menu). When a desired type of button, for example, button B2 is touched and selected from the screen shown in FIG. A confirmation screen is displayed, and selection is completed by pressing an “OK” button B3. In FIG. 7A, the number of medals increases as the period required for training increases. In addition, the period of auto training requires a period (a period of two weeks or more) longer than the stable period of at least one game (one week). In addition, a training level that is linked to the stable level indicating the performance of the stable is determined, and the type of auto training where the training level is less than a predetermined value is “?” And cannot be selected. In addition, when the training level satisfies a predetermined value, the type of “?” Can be selected, but the type having a larger number of required medals and weeks can be selected than the type that can be selected from the beginning. Become. By adopting such a configuration, a player with a high level of tressen (who plays a lot of play) needs only one procedure for moving a racehorse to trains once, and is automatically trained for a longer period (auto training). It can be performed. For example, if a player selects a longer period type (Trescen menu) before the logout for the racehorse he owns, even if he / she has logged out for a while, a significant increase in the ability of the racehorse will occur at the time of login. I can expect. Furthermore, even if the player does not log out (continues logging in), automatic training (automatic training) is performed over a long period of time, so the player manually trains other racing horses he / she owns (normally Training). This is effective for nurturing the entire racehorse for a player who owns a plurality of racehorses.

  In addition, although the example in the case of selecting the type of auto training has been described, the player may select an arbitrary period, and the number of medals may be uniquely determined according to the period selected by the player (for example, 25 100 for week, 200 for 50 week, etc.). Further, the player may select an arbitrary number of medals, and the period may be uniquely determined according to the number of medals selected by the player (for example, if 100 is input, 25 weeks, and 200 is input, 50 weeks). etc).

  Returning to FIG. 5, when receiving the notification of the type of auto training, the automatic training unit 110 of the racehorse mode management unit 107 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 determines the number of medals necessary for the selected type of auto training. Is the number of medals of the satellite device 2 that has made a request for training, whether the week required for the selected type of auto training is less than the remaining life of the target racehorse, and whether the training center is free (Step S110), and if the result of the determination satisfies all, the requested racehorse and auto-training type information are stored in the racehorse database 122 (step S111), and the satellite device 2 receives “OK”. "Is returned (step S112).

  In response to this, the racehorse mode management unit 213 in the satellite device 2 moves the racehorse to a train center managed by the train center mode management unit 217 (step S113). By moving to the training center (deposited), the racehorse cannot run for the race until the automatic breeding is completed, and the operation cannot be performed except for the interruption of the automatic breeding described later. However, a function of adding automatic breeding to the racehorse being deposited may be provided.

  Further, at the time of moving to the train center, the number of medals corresponding to the selected type of auto training is collected from the credit. In place of the advance payment of medals, the payment may be weekly or postpay. The payment method may be a format approved by the player (such as selecting OK / NG by a button touch or the like) or an automatic withdrawal method.

  Although the case where an instruction for automatic growth is given by the satellite device 2 has been described, a growth item may be selected at a terminal other than the main device 1 or the satellite device 2.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing at the end of automatic growth when the maturity occurs during login.

  In FIG. 8, the training mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 determines the end of training (end of automatic training in training) for each game (step S121). In other words, the end of the automatic breeding period stored in the racehorse database 122 is compared with the current week to determine whether or not the end. If it is determined that the process has ended, the training center management unit 114 notifies the corresponding satellite device 2 of the completion of the training period (step S122).

  In response, the training mode management unit 217 of the owner game management unit 212 in the satellite device 2 sends a training result request to the main device 1 (step S123).

  The training mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 calculates a training result (step S124), and stores the ability value in the racehorse database 122 (step S125). The breeding effect may be proportional to the period, may be proportional to the number of medals, may be increased or decreased by a result of lottery, or may be a constant value. There may be an increase in the ability value to other than the training target (other racehorses, jockeys, etc.) by training the training target. Conversely, there may be an increase in the ability value of the breeding target according to results other than the breeding target (training to other racehorses, race results of other racehorses, jockey race results, etc.). Further, the ability value may be lowered instead of the ability value up. In this case, the capability value may be decreased in inverse proportion to the period.

  Then, the train center mode management unit 114 notifies the satellite device 2 of the train center result (step S126). The training result includes the ability value to be increased and the contents of the performance.

  The training mode management unit 217 of the owner game management unit 212 in the satellite device 2 displays the training result as a movie and a comment on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 (step S127). At this time, BGM or the like is also output to the speaker 26 via the audio output unit 205. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of the training results. As shown in FIG. 9A, a plurality of movies MV1 to MV5 flow for a predetermined time, and the training in the training is displayed in a digest manner. Then, a dialog box shown in (b) is displayed on the screen, and a comment and a message to graze on the ranch are displayed. Touching the “OK” button B4 ends the display of the training result.

  Returning to FIG. 8, the training mode management unit 217 in the satellite device 2 moves the racehorse to the ranch under the management of the ranch mode management unit 216 (step S128). By moving to the ranch, the progress of the life of the racehorse stops.

  It should be noted that the end of the training is determined in one game cycle, and when it is determined that the training is completed, the training results are calculated all at once, but the ability value is increased by calculating the training results in one game cycle. It may be. Alternatively, the training results may be calculated together immediately after the start of automatic growth, and the ability value may be increased at the end of training. It is not always necessary to link the calculation timing and the capacity increase.

  In addition, with respect to a racehorse that has been subjected to auto-training at the train center, a predetermined fodder can appear on the racehorse at an arbitrary timing. The effects of fodder can be linked to the selected training content.

  FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing at the end of automatic growth when the maturity occurs during logout, and is an example in the case where processing is performed collectively at login.

  In FIG. 10, when the player of the satellite device 2 presses the logout button of the card reader / writer 24, the log-in processing unit 208 performs logout processing via the card data input / output control unit 202 (step S131). The latest data is written to the IC card 3 by the card reader / writer 24 via the control unit 202 (step S132), a logout notification is sent to the main device 1 (step S133), and the IC card 3 is ejected. The satellite management unit 102 of the main device 1 updates the corresponding information in the satellite correspondence table 121.

  Thereafter, after a certain period of time has passed, the player logs in to the satellite device 2 (step S134), and the satellite device 2 notifies the main device 1 of login (step S135).

  The training mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main apparatus 1 compares the end of the automatic breeding period stored in the racehorse database 122 with the current week and determines whether or not the process ends (step S136). If it is determined that the process has ended, the training center management unit 114 notifies the corresponding satellite device 2 of the expiration of the training period (step S137).

  In response, the training mode management unit 217 of the owner game management unit 212 in the satellite device 2 makes a training result request to the main device 1 (step S138).

  The training mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 calculates a training result (step S139) and stores the ability value in the racehorse database 122 (step S140). Then, the training center management unit 114 notifies the satellite device 2 of the training result (step S141). The training result includes the ability value to be increased and the contents of the performance.

  The training mode management unit 217 of the owner game management unit 212 in the satellite device 2 displays the training result as a movie and a comment on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 (step S142). At this time, BGM or the like is also output to the speaker 26 via the audio output unit 205. The movie and comments of the training results are the same as those shown in FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of processing at the end of automatic growth when the term of maturity is reached during logout, and is an example in the case where processing is performed in parallel behind the logout.

  In FIG. 11, when the player of the satellite device 2 presses the logout button of the card reader / writer 24, the log-in processing unit 208 performs logout processing via the card data input / output control unit 202 (step S151). The latest data is written to the IC card 3 by the card reader / writer 24 via the control unit 202 (step S152), a logout notification is sent to the main device 1 (step S153), and the IC card 3 is ejected. The satellite management unit 102 of the main device 1 updates the corresponding information in the satellite correspondence table 121.

  Thereafter, the training mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 determines the end of training for each game (step S154). In other words, the end of the automatic breeding period stored in the racehorse database 122 is compared with the current week to determine whether or not the end.

  If it is determined that the training is finished, the training mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 calculates the training results (step S155) and saves the ability value in the racehorse database 122 ( Step S156).

  Thereafter, when the player logs into the card with the satellite device 2 (step S157), the satellite device 2 notifies the main device 1 of login (step S158).

  The tressen mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 acquires the already calculated tressen result (step S159), and notifies the satellite device 2 of the tressen result together with the notification of the expiration of the tressen period (step S160). .

  The training mode management unit 217 of the owner game management unit 212 in the satellite device 2 displays the training result as a movie and a comment on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 (step S161).

  The train center mode management unit 217 in the satellite device 2 moves the racehorse to the ranch under the management of the ranch mode management unit 216 (step S162).

  The end of the training is determined in one game cycle, and when it is determined that the training is completed, the training results are calculated in a lump. However, the progress of the training may be calculated in one game cycle.

  FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing at the end of automatic growth due to interruption.

  In FIG. 12, it is assumed that the player has logged in to the card in advance (steps S171 and S172).

  After that, in the satellite device 2, when the player selects a racehorse in the train (step S173) and selects the suspension of the train (step S174), a request for a train result is made to the main device 1 (step S175). The racehorse is selected by selecting the racehorse using the touch panel 23 from the training screen displayed on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 under the control of the training mode management unit 217 of the owner game management unit 212. Done in The selection by the touch panel 23 is recognized by the racehorse mode management unit 213 via the input instruction receiving unit 203. The selection of the interruption is performed by selecting an interruption button displayed on the racehorse screen displayed on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 under the control of the racehorse mode management unit 213. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user interface for selecting a racehorse to be interrupted. (A) is a racehorse screen after selecting a racehorse from the train center. When the “suspend” button B5 at the bottom is touched from here, the confirmation screen of (b) is displayed, and the “suspend” button B6 is displayed. The interruption is selected by touching.

  Returning to FIG. 12, the training mode management unit 114 of the owner game management unit 106 in the main device 1 calculates a training result (step S176), and stores the ability value in the racehorse database 122 (step S177). The ability value when the automatic growth is interrupted is smaller in the amount of increase than when the automatic growth is performed for the scheduled period. Although medals necessary for automatic growth are not returned in principle, they may be returned according to the interrupted period.

  Next, the train center mode management unit 114 notifies the satellite device 2 of the train center result (step S178). The training result includes the ability value to be increased and the contents of the performance.

  The training mode management unit 217 of the owner game management unit 212 in the satellite device 2 displays the training result as a movie and a comment on the monitor 22 via the video output unit 204 (step S179). At this time, BGM or the like is also output to the speaker 26 via the audio output unit 205. The movie and comments of the training results are the same as those shown in FIG.

  The train center mode management unit 217 in the satellite device 2 moves the racehorse to the ranch under the management of the ranch mode management unit 216 (step S180).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the difference between manual training and automatic training, and (a) shows the passage of time over which one game is repeated.

  In the case of manual breeding, it is assumed that training and fodder are performed from the first game in the figure and logout is performed at the third game as shown in FIG. In this case, the player spends time for training and fodder over three and a half games during login.

  In the case of automatic growth, as shown in (c), it is assumed that training and fodder are performed in the first game in the figure, automatic growth for five weeks is selected in the middle of the first game, and logout is performed in the third game. In this case, automatic training is continued and automatic training is continued up to the fifth game. Therefore, the player can concentrate on other operations for about 2 games until the player logs out. In addition, since the automatic training is performed after the logout, it is possible to expect a race start by a powered up racehorse in a state where the automatic training is completed at the next login.
