JP 2008-178442 A

  In a quiz game, a player may want to review or confirm a problem that has been answered incorrectly. However, paid game systems that allow game play as consideration for paying the play fee are based on the premise of paying a play fee that is commensurate with the original play range. is necessary. However, in the quiz game, since the number of questions that are incorrect is not constant, it is a problem how to handle the billing according to the number of questions to be re-issued, and a game system that enables re-question is provided. Absent. This kind of problem can occur not only in quiz games but also in various games where the replay range is not fixed.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a game system or the like that can match the replay range and the fee required for replay even when the replay range is set to a part of the played range. With the goal.

  The game system of the present invention includes a fee collection means (13, 14, 10) for collecting a play fee from a user, and when the fee collection means collects an initial fee from the user, a game in a predetermined range is played Replay range setting means (S8) capable of setting a replay range limited to a part of the predetermined range in a game system (1) comprising: a game control means (10) that permits a user; Replay fee setting means (S9) for setting a play fee necessary for play in the replay range, the replay range set by the replay range setting means, or the replay range for the replay range An adjusting means (S9) for changing one of the play charges set by the charge setting means in accordance with the other setting, and the charge collecting means is the replay charge. On the condition that the play fee set by the setting means is collected from the user, after the game of the predetermined range is completed, the play fee corresponding to the play fee is set as the game of the replay range set by the replay range setting means Replay processing means (S11, S12, S13, S14) for executing replay processing for causing the user to play a game in the replay range.

  According to the game system of the present invention, either the replay range set by the replay range setting means or the play fee set by the replay fee setting means is set according to the other setting. By providing the adjusting means for changing, even when the replay range is set as a part of the played range, the replay range and the fee required for the replay can be matched.

  In the reference mode, the game control means is configured to advance the game in the predetermined range by a predetermined unit, and the number of game units in the replay range is set to be smaller than the number of game units in the predetermined range. The adjustment means sets the one setting to the other setting so that the increase in the number of units included in the replay range and the increase in the play fee set by the replay fee setting means are linked. You may change according to. According to this, it is possible to rationally match the number of units included in the replay range and the fee required for replay.

  Furthermore, in the reference form, the game apparatus has a score evaluation unit that evaluates a play score for each unit, and the replay range setting unit extracts a unit having a relatively low score from the game units included in the predetermined range. The replay range is set, and the replay fee setting means functions as the adjusting means by increasing or decreasing the play fee according to the replay range set by the replay range setting means. It may be. According to this, since a unit having a low score when a game corresponding to the initial fee is played is set in the replay range, the score can be improved by replay.

  Further, in the reference mode, the game is configured as a quiz game in which a question is given as a question and a player's answer as the unit, and the game is advanced by the unit, and the replay range setting means is a game included in the predetermined range The replay range setting unit is extracted by extracting a unit in which the player's answer is incorrect from the unit of the above, and the replay fee setting unit increases the number of units included in the replay range setting unit. It may be configured to function as the adjusting means by increasing the play fee. In this case, the replay processing means may execute a process of presenting a problem included in the replay range to the player as the replay process. According to these forms, it becomes possible for the player to reconfirm the problem that has become incorrect by additional payment of a reasonable play fee.

  In one form of this invention, the said charge collection means and the said game control means are provided in the game terminal (2), The said replay process means performs the process which plays the game of the said replay range on the said game terminal. The replay process may be executed. According to this, it becomes possible to play the game in the replay range on the spot where the game is played with the initial fee paid.

May be provided.

  Next, a game executed in the game system 1 and a review thereof will be described. FIG. 4 shows a quiz control routine executed by the control unit 10 when the user of the game machine 2 plays a quiz game. When the user pays a predetermined play fee (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an initial fee) and instructs the game machine 2 to start a quiz game, the control unit 10 starts the routine of FIG. In that routine, the control unit 10 first selects one question ID to be given in step S1, and in the subsequent step S2, reads the question corresponding to the selected question ID from the quiz data 102 and gives it to the player. In the next step S3, the control unit 10 receives an answer from the player. When the player inputs an answer from the input device 11, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S <b> 4, determines whether or not the player has answered correctly by checking the answer content of the player against the answer corresponding to the problem ID, That is, the player is notified of whether the answer is correct. Thereafter, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S5, and stores the determination result of correct / incorrect in association with the problem ID.

  Subsequently, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S6 and determines whether or not the game is over. For example, it is determined that the game is over when the number of questions commensurate with the pre-paid play fee is given or when the game time commensurate with the play fee has elapsed. If the game is not over, the control unit 10 returns to step S1 and selects the next problem. By repeating steps S1 to S6, a plurality of questions are sequentially presented.

  If it is determined in step S6 that the game is over, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S7 and processes the results of the current game. For example, referring to the result of the correct / incorrect determination stored in step S5 from the start of the game to the game over, the number of correct answers, the correct answer rate, or the score of the player is calculated as a game result. The calculated score is presented to the player or stored in the player data as part of the play history. Thereafter, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S8 and creates an incorrect answer list. This process is a process of creating a list by listing the problem IDs of problems that have been answered incorrectly by the player, from among the questions presented from the start of the game to the game over.

  When the incorrect answer list is created, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S9, and calculates a play fee required for review based on the incorrect answer list as a review fee. For example, the review fee is set to an amount obtained by multiplying the number of questions included in the incorrect answer list by the unit price per question. For example, if 20 questions are listed on the wrong answer list for 2 yen per question, the review fee is 40 yen. The review fee may be set as a total amount of a fixed basic fee regardless of the number of questions and a metered fee that varies according to the number of questions. It is desirable that the review fee be set lower than the initial fee even if all questions are incorrect.

  When the review fee is calculated, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S10 and requests the player to pay the review fee. However, as a payment method in this case, a payment method using an electronic currency is required. This is because the review fee has a fraction that cannot be paid with the minimum unit amount when paying in cash. In subsequent step S11, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the review fee has been paid in electronic currency. If paid, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S12 and confirms with the player whether or not to continue the review on the game machine 2. If the player requests to continue reviewing, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S13 and executes review based on the incorrect answer list. That is, questions with question IDs included in the incorrect answer list are presented in order, and the answers are obtained from the player to determine whether the answer is correct. When all questions on the wrong answer list and questions of correctness are completed, the control unit 10 ends the current quiz control routine. In this case, the review is only one time.

  On the other hand, if the player does not request a subsequent review in step S12, the control unit 10 proceeds to step S14 and stores the incorrect answer list in the player data 203 associated with the user ID on the center server 3. Let The incorrect answer list may be stored in the player data on the game machine 2 together with the grade information processed in step S7, and then the player data may be sent to the center server 3 for storage. When the process of step S14 is completed, the control unit 10 ends the current routine. If the play fee has not been paid in step S11, the control unit 10 skips the processing in step S12 and subsequent steps and ends the current routine. In this case, the incorrect answer list is discarded.

  The incorrect answer list stored in the player data 203 of the center server 3 is used for reviewing the user by access from the user terminal 7. FIG. 5 shows the processing. When the user of the user terminal 7 makes the center server 3 authenticate his / her user ID and requests the user terminal 7 to review the quiz game, the control unit 30 of the user terminal 7 executes the review control routine of FIG. Start. This routine is a process that the review control unit 32 takes charge of.

  When the review control routine of FIG. 5 is started, the control unit 30 first requests the center server 3 to establish a session for communication in step S101. In response to this, the control unit 20 of the center server 3 uses the review management unit 22 to start the review information provision routine of FIG. 5 and constructs a session with the user terminal 7 in step S201. When the session is established, the control unit 30 of the user terminal 7 proceeds to step S102, requests the center server 3 to transmit review data 302, and then proceeds to step S103 to receive review initial data. The control unit 20 of the center server 3 proceeds to step S202, and displays the incorrect answer list stored in association with the user ID designated by the user terminal 7 (user ID associated with the user of the user terminal 7). Extract from data 203. In subsequent step S <b> 203, the control unit 20 transmits review initial data including the extracted incorrect answer list to the user terminal 7.

  When receiving the review initial data from the center server 3, the control unit 30 of the user terminal 7 proceeds to step S104, and selects any one problem ID from the problem IDs included in the incorrect answer list included in the data. To do. In subsequent step S105, the control unit 30 requests the center server 3 to transmit the problem and answer data corresponding to the selected problem ID as selection data. Thereafter, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S106 and receives selection data from the center server 3. The control unit 20 of the center server 3 receives the request of step S105 in step S204, and acquires the requested question ID and answer from the quiz data 202 as selection data. In subsequent step S <b> 205, the control unit 20 transmits selection data to the user terminal 7.

  After receiving the selection data in step S106, the control unit 30 of the user terminal 7 stores the selection data in the storage device 31 as part of the review data 302. In subsequent step S107, the control unit 30 gives the user a question included in the selection data. Further, the control unit 30 obtains an answer to the question from the user, and collates it with the answer in the selection data to determine whether the answer of the user is correct. The result of the correctness determination is presented to the user. After determining the correctness or not, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S108 and determines whether or not the review of all the problem IDs listed in the incorrect answer list has been completed. If not completed, the control unit 30 returns to the process of step S104. When the review of all the problems has been completed, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S109 and ends the session with the center server 3.

  The end of the session is also notified to the control unit 20 of the center server 3. The control unit 20 of the center server 3 proceeds to step S206 after transmitting the selection data, and determines whether or not the end of the session is notified from the user terminal 7. If the session end is not notified, the control unit 20 returns to the process of step S204. On the other hand, when the end of the session is notified, the control unit 20 proceeds to step S207 and executes processing necessary for the end of the session. When the processes of step S109 and step S207 are completed, each of the control unit 30 of the user terminal 7 and the control unit 20 of the center server 3 ends the routine of FIG. At the end of the session, the control unit 30 of the user terminal 7 may erase the review data 302 stored in the storage device 31 or leave it. When the review data 302 is stored, the review can be performed again without access to the center server 3. Further, the control unit 20 of the center server 3 may delete the incorrect answer list in the player data 203 at the end of the session. When the erroneous answer list is erased by the control unit 20 and the review data 302 is erased by the control unit 30, the review at the user terminal 7 is limited to one time.

  In the above embodiment, the combination of the card reader 13, the money collection device 14, and the charge management unit 17 functions as a fee collection unit, and the control unit 10 functions as a game control unit. Further, the control unit 10 functions as a replay range setting unit by executing the process of step S8 in FIG. 5, and functions as a replay fee setting unit and an adjusting unit by executing the process of step S9. By performing the process of S14, it functions as a replay processing means. Moreover, in said form, the question of one question and the answer with respect to it correspond to the unit of a game, and the review by the game machine 2 or the user terminal 7 is equivalent to replay.

  This invention is not limited to the form mentioned above, You may implement in a various form. For example, in the above embodiment, a play fee payment method using electronic currency is adopted as an electronic payment method. However, if payment can be made in a smaller amount than cash payment, the electronic payment method is appropriately added. Can be changed. For example, fee collection using a credit card may be used as appropriate. Even when using electronic currency, in the above form, an account of electronic currency is built on the center server, and the play fee is paid by withdrawing the electronic currency equivalent to the play fee via the network. A so-called prepaid electronic currency system that charges an electronic currency to a card 8 or a storage medium such as an IC chip mounted on a mobile phone and reduces the balance of the electronic currency on the card 8 in accordance with payment of a play fee. It may be possible to pay the play fee. Even when a prepaid electronic currency system is used, the electronic currency account may be managed on a server different from the center server for realizing the game, and an electronic currency settlement system provided by an external contractor may be used. You may make it possible to pay the play fee.

  The present invention is not limited to an example of executing a quiz game, and can be applied to an appropriate type of game. For example, if the game system defines the units of the game in terms of stage and other concepts and advances the game for each unit, a unit with a relatively low score is extracted and incorporated into the replay range, and replays corresponding to this are extracted. You may set a fee. The replay range is not limited to the example in which the replay range is set based on the level of the result, and the replay range may be set in accordance with an instruction from the player. Alternatively, prior to the replay range, the game system may be modified such that the player sets the replay play fee and sets the replay range according to the set range. That is, the adjusting means of the present invention may be any means that sets the other according to the setting when either one of the replay range and the play fee necessary for the replay is set.

  The game system of the present invention is not limited to an example configured as a network type game system in which a game terminal and a center server are connected via a network, and is a so-called stand-alone type in which the game terminal is not connected to a network. It may be constructed as a game system composed only of game terminals. In addition, the game terminal is not limited to an example installed in a store, and for example, even a game system including a home game machine or a mobile phone as a game terminal is capable of paying a play fee, and If it is possible to play a game for a fee via a network, the game system of the present invention can be constructed.
