Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic game machine for playing a game such as displaying a game subject or a battle subject personalized by character data on a display, moving on the display, or obtaining a winning point, and the electronic game machine And a program for executing a game on the electronic game machine.

  Conventionally, as a so-called battle-type electronic game, there has been known a game that is configured such that an opponent is fighting against an opponent and an attack power, a defense power, a physical strength, or a weapon type is changed according to the result. Yes. In other words, the opponent is personalized by character data such as attack power, defense power, physical strength, and weapon type, and the character data changes and the opponent becomes so-called “strong”. You will get a sense of victory.

  A game machine configured such that the game main body or the battle main body is not only prepared in advance as data in the game program but also can be newly created or captured is known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an electronic device and a game control method configured to improve and maintain the fun of a game by increasing the chance of personalizing a game subject (a so-called character) and to maintain it. Yes. That is, the electronic device and the game control method described in Patent Document 1 are configured to determine a so-called “strength” based on invisible information in order to increase and maintain the fun of the game. The remote control code transmitted by the remote control transmitter is used as the invisible information.

Japanese Patent No. 3424021

  Since the remote control code cannot be seen with eyes as described in Patent Document 1, by determining the strength information using this, the strength of the character is determined with high contingency or unexpectedness, The game may be more interesting. However, since the remote control code is built according to the prescribed rules and the code length is limited, the diversity of strength information is limited, and when the number of popular game machines increases, The fun of the game may be reduced. In addition, since each remote control has an owner, the number of remote controls that can be used to determine the above strength information is greatly limited. For example, the strength of the remote control is stronger than that of a game using a conventionally known barcode. There are few opportunities to obtain information, and there is room for improvement in order to improve the fun of the game. And, in the method using the remote control code, it is necessary to input the code information artificially as in the case of the game using the bar code, and even if the determination of the strength information is unexpected, the determination or acquisition is performed. There is no chance or surprise in the timing of the game, and it is not always sufficient in terms of increasing the fun and surprise of the game.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above technical problems, and promotes contingency and unexpectedness such as creation, incorporation or selection of a character that is a game subject, and updating of character data that personalizes the character. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic game machine, a game control method, and a game program that are rich in fun.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 is directed to a game process such as a battle, competition, or game by operating a character personalized by character data based on an input signal generated by operating an operation unit. In the electronic game machine in which the character's movement status is displayed on the display and the character data of the character is updated according to the result of the game processing, the wireless ID assigned to the wireless data communication base station is displayed. Receiving means for receiving, data processing means for converting the wireless ID received by the receiving means into data for determining the character, and character determining means for determining the character based on the data converted by the data processing means It is characterized by that.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, a character personalized by the character data is operated based on an input signal generated by operating the operation unit to perform a game process such as a battle, competition, or game, and the movement state of the character. Is displayed on the display, and in the game control method for updating the character data of the character according to the result of the game process, the wireless ID attached to the wireless data communication base station is received, and the received wireless ID is The character is converted into data for determining, and the character is determined based on the converted data.

  The invention of claim 3 uses a computer to perform a game process such as a battle, competition or game by operating a character personalized by character data based on an input signal by operating the operation unit. A reception procedure for receiving a wireless ID attached to a wireless data communication base station in a game program for displaying a character motion state on a display and updating the character data of the character according to a result of the game processing; A conversion procedure for converting the wireless ID received in the reception procedure into data for determining the character, and character determination means for determining the character based on the data obtained in the conversion procedure. It is what.

  According to the present invention, the character that is the subject of a game such as a battle, competition or game is determined based on the received wireless ID. The wireless ID is composed of alphabets, numbers, and some symbols, such as name, shop name, nickname, lot number, and arbitrary numbers. It is. In addition, the wireless ID is transmitted to a relatively narrow limited range when the wireless data communication base station is turned on. Therefore, the wireless ID is extremely diverse depending on time and place without knowing the existence of the wireless data communication base station. A wireless ID is received. In other words, a wireless ID is received unintentionally, a different wireless ID is received by moving slightly, and a different wireless ID is also received at the same place according to time. Since the character is determined based on the wireless ID obtained in this way, the intentional determination or change of the character is almost impossible, and the unexpectedness and chance of the determination are extremely high, which makes the game interesting. Can be improved compared to the conventional case.

  An example of a game executed on the electronic game machine targeted by the present invention is a so-called battle-type game, in which a game subject (a battle subject or a character) displayed on a display is displayed as a key or a button on an operation unit. Is a game that is configured to be played with an opponent, and the basic game content including stories such as the content of the battle, the setting of the battle environment, and the control of the opponent is conventionally known. It may be the same as that. Further, when the battle is a battle with an opponent transmitted from another machine, the transmission / reception of the opponent may be performed by various known data transmission / reception methods. The electronic game machine that executes the game is preferably portable. Further, a game program executed by the electronic game machine may be stored in a ROM built in the electronic game machine, or may be stored in a removable memory such as a card type or a cassette type.

  FIG. 2 schematically shows an example of the appearance of a portable electronic game machine that can be the subject of the present invention. The electronic game machine main body A includes a direction key 1 for performing character operation, a selection key 2 for determining or canceling an operation instruction with the direction key 1, a game start button (start button) 3, and a temporary pause for a game. A stop button 4 and a display 5 including a touch panel are provided. The game character is operated by operating these various buttons and the display 5 including a touch panel. A slot 6 for so-called game media such as micro SD and various game software is also provided. Further, a data transmission / reception unit 7 is provided for receiving / transmitting data transmitted / received to / from the outside of the electronic game machine or transmitted from a wireless data communication base station.

  An electronic board (not shown) that detects the operation of the buttons and the display is provided inside these various buttons and the operation unit of the display 5 in the electronic game machine, and by controlling a signal detected by the electronic board, Display display and game-driven operations are performed.

  Next, a circuit configuration for performing various game processes or controls including a game operation replaced with a control signal on the electronic board will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining an example of the circuit configuration of the electronic game machine according to the present invention. The operation units such as the various buttons and the display 5 described above correspond to the key input unit (or touch pen input unit) 8 in the figure, and the control unit 9 performs various controls based on signals output from the key input unit 8. . The control unit 9 is composed of an electronic circuit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and is configured to perform an operation according to an input signal and a program and output the operation result as a control signal. . A display control unit 10 is connected to the control unit 9. That is, the display control unit 10 is configured to control the screen display unit (display) 11 based on a signal input from the control unit 9 and perform various displays. The screen display unit 11 is generally a liquid crystal panel, but may be configured with a touch panel that can send an instruction signal to the control unit by touching a displayed icon.

  In addition, the control unit 9 is received from the ROM 50 in which a game progress program and a data conversion table are stored, the communication control unit 12 that controls transmission / reception of data to / from the outside of the electronic game machine, and the outside of the electronic game machine. And a RAM 60 that temporarily stores information and data in the control process. The ROM 50 further includes a first ROM 51 that stores a game program, a second ROM 52 that stores a character table, a third ROM 53 that stores a character table, and a fourth ROM 54 that stores a customization table. ing. In addition, the communication control unit 12 performs wireless communication with the other device via the wireless ID receiving unit 13 and the direct wireless communication unit 14 or wireless data communication base station (access point: AP) that performs direct wireless communication with the other device. And a wireless communication unit 15 via AP. The RAM 60 includes a first RAM 61 that temporarily stores wireless IDs (or wireless ID codes), a second RAM 62 that temporarily stores overlapping wireless IDs, and a third RAM 63 that stores character data.

  The game executed on the above-mentioned electronic game machine is a so-called battle-type game, and a battle subject (not shown) appearing on the screen display unit 11 battles based on a signal generated by operating the operation unit described above. It is configured to play against the opponent. The control is mainly executed by the game program stored in the first ROM 51 described above. In other words, the game story is developed according to the game program stored in the first ROM 51. Various game programs such as these have been known in the past, and the same game can be developed using the conventional game program in the electronic game machine of the present invention.

  The electronic game machine, the game control method, or the game program according to the present invention is based on the wireless ID (code data for identifying the AP) received from the outside of the battle subject (game subject or character) in the battle game described above. It is characterized in that it can be created, imported, or selected. In this case, the opponent is a game character that can be operated by the operation unit described above, and the character data is an attack power, a defense power, a physical strength, an item such as a weapon or armor, or a point, etc. is there. On the other hand, the opponent may be a character stored in the ROM 50 in advance, or may be a character received from another electronic game machine by data communication.

  Next, character setting based on the wireless ID, which is a feature of the present invention, will be described. FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the procedure. First, when an operation for acquiring a wireless ID (or wireless ID code) is executed on an electronic game machine, the communication control unit 12 determines the wireless ID. The wireless ID is read (step S1), and the wireless ID is acquired (step S2). Then, after temporarily storing the acquired wireless ID in the first RAM 61 (step S3), a duplicate ID deletion process is performed for the acquired wireless ID (step S4). An example of the wireless ID stored in the first RAM 61 is shown in FIG. 4, which is a combination of numbers, letters of the alphabet, and symbols such as hyphens, and the number of digits varies according to certain restrictions. .

  Here, the duplicate ID deletion process in step S4 will be described. In the duplicate ID deletion process, it is determined whether or not the newly acquired wireless ID is a new one, and is the same as the already acquired wireless ID. In this case, it is a process of deleting the acquired wireless ID. In short, if the wireless IDs are duplicated, one becomes unnecessary, and is a process of deleting before performing other control. The procedure of the duplicate ID deletion process will be specifically described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the newly acquired wireless ID is read from the first RAM 61 (step S410). Next, the newly acquired wireless ID is compared with the existing wireless ID already stored in the second RAM 62 (step S420). As a result of the comparison, it is determined whether or not the acquired wireless ID is the same as the existing wireless ID (step S430). If the determination is affirmative in step S430, that is, the newly acquired wireless ID is the existing wireless ID. If it is the same as the ID, the newly acquired wireless ID is deleted from the first RAM 61 (step S440). In addition, when receiving a wireless ID, a plurality of wireless IDs may be acquired at the same time. In such a case, it is determined whether or not the duplicate ID deletion process has been completed for all the acquired wireless IDs. (Step S450). If a negative determination is made in step S450, that is, if there is one for which the duplicate ID deletion process has not been completed, the routine returns to step S410 and the same routine as described above is repeated. On the other hand, if the determination in step S450 is affirmative, that is, if it is determined that the duplicate ID deletion processing has been completed for all the acquired wireless IDs, this routine is temporarily terminated.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in the above step S430 that determines duplication, that is, if the newly acquired wireless ID is different from the existing wireless ID, the newly acquired wireless ID is The data is additionally stored in the 2RAM 62 (step S431), and then the process proceeds to the above-described step S450, and it is determined whether or not the duplicate ID deletion processing for all the newly acquired wireless IDs has been completed. An example of the wireless ID thus stored in the second RAM 62 is shown in FIG. Note that FIG. 6 illustrates the stored wireless IDs as a list, and does not limit the order of storage or the mode of storage.

  Next, data conversion is performed on the wireless ID determined through the duplicate ID deletion process. This data conversion is composed of three steps in the example shown in FIG. 1. First, as data conversion I, the number of characters of the acquired wireless ID is converted to the number of characters corresponding to the subsequent data conversion or acquired. The wireless ID itself is deleted (step S5). A flow chart for explaining the procedure of this data conversion I is shown in FIG. First, the wireless ID stored in the first RAM 61 is read (step S510). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of characters of the read wireless ID is equal to or less than a predetermined number (for example, 3 characters or less) (step S520). When a negative determination is made in step S520, that is, when the number of characters of the read wireless ID is a predetermined number or more, for example, four characters or more, the number of characters of the read wireless ID is a predetermined other number or more (for example, 16 It is determined whether or not (characters or more) (step S530). If a negative determination is made in step S530, that is, if the number of characters of the read wireless ID is 15 or less, it is determined whether or not the number of characters is 14 or less (step S540). That is, it is determined whether or not the number of characters (or the number of digits, the same applies hereinafter) of the wireless ID is “15” in step S530 and step S540. Therefore, if the determination is negative in step S540, the data conversion The number of characters of the target wireless ID is “15”. In this case, the wireless ID is overwritten and stored in the first RAM 61 (step S550).

  For all the wireless IDs temporarily stored in the first RAM 61, it is determined whether or not the adjustment of the number of characters, that is, the above-described data conversion I has been completed (step S560). If a negative determination is made in step S560, that is, if a wireless ID that has not been subjected to this data conversion I remains in the first RAM 61, the process returns to step S510, and conversely, a positive determination is made in step S560. If this data conversion I has been completed for all wireless IDs, this routine is once terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step S520 is affirmative, that is, if the read wireless ID is, for example, 3 characters or less, the wireless ID is deleted from the first RAM 61 as incompatible in this conversion (step S521). Next, in order to adjust the number of characters for other wireless IDs, the process proceeds to step S560 described above.

  If the current wireless ID targeted for data conversion I is, for example, 16 characters or longer and the determination in step S530 is affirmative, the number of characters in the wireless ID is adjusted to 15 characters (step S531). ). For example, when the number of characters of the read wireless ID is 17, the number of characters is adjusted by various methods such as deleting the first or last two characters of the wireless ID and adjusting to 15 characters. Then, the process proceeds to step S550 described above, and the wireless ID with the adjusted number of characters is overwritten and saved in the first RAM 61.

  Further, if the determination in step S540 is positive, that is, if the number of characters of the read wireless ID is 14 or less, the number of characters of the wireless ID is adjusted to 15 characters (step S541). For example, if the number of characters of the read wireless ID is 13, the number of characters can be adjusted by adding two 0s (zeros) at the beginning or end of the character string of the wireless ID to make the number of characters 15 I do. Then, the process proceeds to step S550 described above, and the wireless ID with the adjusted number of characters is overwritten and saved in the first RAM 61.

  Then, after the number of characters of the acquired wireless ID is adjusted by this data conversion I, data conversion II is executed (step S6). This data conversion II makes it possible to create, import, or select a game character (competitor or game subject) based on the wireless ID whose number of characters has been adjusted, and to use it for the game. This is a process of converting the character string of the wireless ID so that it can be adapted to the setting of character data such as physical strength, items such as weapons and armor, and even points. A flow chart for explaining the procedure of the data conversion II is shown in FIG. In the example shown here, the character is specified based on the wireless ID, and the five attributes are used to specify the three attributes as the attributes. Since the ID has been adjusted to 15 characters, first, the wireless ID whose number of characters has been adjusted by data conversion I is divided into 5 groups as 3 groups as 1 group (step S60). For example, if the wireless ID is “hB7T32C5672DZCd”, there are five groups of “hB7”, “T32”, “C56”, “72D”, and “ZCd”.

  Then, the three characters of each group are converted into three numbers (step S61). This conversion can be performed based on a table stored in advance in the second ROM 52. The table may be arbitrarily set, and an example thereof is shown in FIG. The table shown in FIG. 9 divides 10 numbers, uppercase and lowercase 52 alphabets, and symbols into two types, and assigns numbers from “0” to “63” to a total of 64 in total. According to this, in the first group described above, “h” is “3”, “B” is “4”, and “7” is “63”. The same conversion is performed for the second to fifth groups. Further, these three numbers are converted into 6-bit binary numbers (step S62). For example, when the numbers “3”, “4”, and “63” are converted into 6-bit binary numbers, “000011”, “000100”, and “111111” are obtained.

  The three 6-bit binary numbers thus obtained are converted into two 8-bit (1 byte) binary numbers (step S63). For example, “000011”, “000100”, and “111111” become “00001100”, “01”, and “00111111”. At this time, if the front and rear 8 bits are regarded as one group, the middle 2 bits “01” is a fraction, and the fraction is deleted. Then, the 8-bit binary number is converted into hexadecimal 2-byte data “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”. That is, “00001100” and “00111111” become “0C” and “3F”, respectively. This conversion is performed on the other four groups to obtain five 2-byte data (step S64). When all the wireless IDs mentioned above as an example are converted, “hB7T32C5672DZCd” becomes “0C3F”, “2A3D”, “102F”, “B002”, and “3DA4”.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, data conversion III is executed based on the five 2-byte data obtained by this data conversion II (step S7). This data conversion III is a process for determining the opponent (character) based on the above five 2-byte data, and determining the opponent's attack power, defense power, physical strength, items such as weapons and armor, etc. . FIG. 10 shows a flowchart for explaining the processing procedure. First, arithmetic processing is performed on the first and last 2-byte data of the five 2-byte data converted by the data conversion II. For example, these are multiplied, and further 2 bytes data is obtained from the middle 4 digits of the multiplied result (step S70). In the case of the above-described wireless ID given as an example, when “0C3F” and “3DA4” are multiplied, “2CDAB32F” is obtained, and when the middle 2-byte data is extracted, “DAB3” is obtained. Then, a character is determined from the obtained 2-byte data (step S71). This can be performed using a character table prepared in advance. An example of the character table is shown in FIG. 11. In the example shown here, 65536 numbers from “0” to “65535” (the 16th power of “2”) are appropriately classified (for example, 100 by 100). The character and its attack power, defense power, and physical strength are determined for each classification. The 4-digit 2-byte data described above corresponds to any number from “0” to “65535”. By performing such conversion, a predetermined attack is performed based on the 4-digit 2-byte data. You can determine the character of strength, defense and physical strength.

  Next, the attack power of the character is determined from the second 2 byte data (step S72). In the example described here, since a character whose attributes such as attack power and defense power are predetermined is determined first, the attributes are adjusted in step S72. However, the present invention may be configured such that a character without an attribute is first determined, and then an attribute such as attack power is determined. The processing contents of step S72 will be described in detail. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the adjustment value is obtained using a customization table set in advance. An example of the customization table is shown in FIG. 12, and the customization table shown here is stored in the fourth ROM 54. Similarly to the table shown in FIG. 11 described above, 65536 (0 to 65535) ( “2” to the 16th power) is appropriately divided (for example, divided into 100), and an adjustment value is determined for each division. Since the second 4-digit 2-byte data corresponds to any number from “0” to “65535”, by performing such conversion, the second 2-byte data is based on the second 2-byte data. The adjustment value can be determined. The adjustment value obtained in this way is for determining the attack power of the character, and therefore, the final attack power is determined by adding the adjustment value to the attack power provided in advance by the character. For example, when the second 2 byte data is “2A3D”, “+5” is obtained from the customization table. If the previously determined character's attack power is “30”, the obtained “+5” is added to “35”.

  The defense power and physical strength are determined by the same method as the determination of the attack power. That is, the third 2-byte data is used as the defense power, the fourth 2-byte data is used as the physical strength, and values are read based on the respective 2-byte data and the customization table, and added to the previously determined character data (step S73). For example, if the previously determined character's defense strength is “5”, physical strength is “20”, defense strength obtained from 2 bytes data is “−3”, and physical strength is “+10”, finally The defense power of the character to be determined is “2”, and the physical strength is “30”. Therefore, depending on the wireless ID, characters having the same name or form may have different attributes such as attack power.

  As described above, the character and its attribute are determined based on each wireless ID, and each data is stored in the third RAM 63 (step S8). FIG. 13 shows an example of data stored in the third RAM 63. In FIG. 13, there are two characters named “Dragon”. This is because the characters themselves are the same because some of the two received wireless IDs are the same. Yes, but the other parts are different, so the attributes are different and treated as different characters.

  Then, the game selects an appropriate character stored in the third RAM 63 and makes it play against a predetermined opponent according to the game story. Based on the result, attribute data such as attack power and defense power is obtained. The game will be advanced while updating. In this way, since the character or the battle subject provided for the game is added to the third RAM 63 every time a new wireless ID is acquired, a character is created based on the wireless ID in the sense that more characters can be used for the game. Or you have acquired. On the other hand, since these characters and their attributes are already stored in the third ROM 53, the characters and their attributes are selected based on the wireless ID in terms of using them. In any case, a new character appears with a new wireless ID. And if the data reception function of the game machine is turned on, the wireless ID is obtained unintentionally, and the contents of the wireless ID, the transmission source, the place where it can be received, the time, etc. are almost unknown. , Relying on chance. In other words, according to the present invention, the character is obtained almost completely by chance, and the attributes such as the attack power and the point cannot be predicted, so that it is possible to play a game that is unexpectedly high as before. The game is also interesting and can be continued.

  Here, the relationship between the above-described specific example and the present invention will be briefly described. The functional means for executing the control of steps S1 to S5 shown in FIG. 1 corresponds to the receiving means in the present invention. The functional means for executing the control of S6 corresponds to the data processing means in the present invention, and the functional means for executing the control of step S7 corresponds to the character determining means in the present invention.

  The above-described means for converting the wireless ID into the battle subject or character data is merely an example of the present invention. In short, the present invention receives the wireless ID and uses the wireless ID for the battle subject or character data. It is not limited to the example described above. In addition, the data conversion method may be different for each game machine, and even if the same wireless ID is acquired, different characters and attributes are set for each game machine. It becomes possible to increase the fun of the game machine or the game. Moreover, in this invention, whenever a wireless ID is acquired, it may be comprised so that a character may be changed according to the wireless ID.
