The card discharge port 12 is used for discharging the character card KC printed inside the housing 2. The control panel 3 is also provided with various operation units such as buttons that can be used for determining the operation, etc., but these are not shown.

  With reference to FIG. 2, the structure of the game machine 1 is further demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the game machine 1. Inside the housing 2 of the game machine 1, a control unit 15 as a computer and a printer 16 as output means are provided. The printer 16 is used for printing the character card KC. The printer 16 is configured to be capable of color printing.

  The monitor 4, control panel 3, speaker 5, barcode reader 10, and printer 16 are all connected to the control unit 15. The control unit 15 includes a game control unit 17 as a control subject, a display control unit 18 that operates according to an output from the game control unit 17, and an audio output control unit 19. The game control unit 17 is configured as a unit combining a microprocessor and various peripheral devices such as an internal storage device (for example, ROM and RAM) necessary for the operation of the microprocessor.

  The display control unit 18 draws an image corresponding to the image data supplied from the game control unit 17 in the frame buffer, and outputs a video signal corresponding to the drawn image to the monitor 4, whereby a predetermined signal is displayed on the monitor 4. Display an image. The audio output control unit 19 generates an audio reproduction signal corresponding to the audio reproduction data given from the game control unit 17 and outputs the audio reproduction signal to the speaker 5 to reproduce predetermined audio (including music) from the speaker 5. Let

  An external storage device 21 is connected to the game control unit 17. As the external storage device 21, a storage medium that can hold the storage without power supply, such as an optical storage medium such as a DVDROM or a CDROM, or a nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as an EEPROM is used.

  The external storage device 21 stores a game program 22 and game data 23. The game program 22 is a computer program necessary for executing a monster training game in accordance with a predetermined procedure on the game machine 1.

  When the game machine 1 is activated, the game control unit 17 executes an operation program stored in the internal storage device and executes various processes necessary to operate as the game machine 1. Subsequently, the game control unit 17 sets an environment for executing the monster training game according to the game program 22. When the game program 22 is executed by the game control unit 17, a reproduction unit 25 and a data generation unit 26 are generated in the game control unit 17. The reproduction unit 25 and the data generation unit 26 are logical devices realized by a combination of computer hardware and a computer program.

  The reproduction unit 25 executes processing for reproducing the character during the game based on information included in the barcode read by the barcode reader 10. The data generation unit 26 executes a process for generating data necessary for printing a new character card based on the game play result. The game program 22 includes various modules, and the game control unit 17 includes various logical devices necessary for executing the game in addition to the reproduction unit 25 and the data generation unit 26 based on these modules. Are generated, but their illustration is omitted.

  The game data 23 includes various data to be referred to when executing the monster training game according to the game program 22. For example, the game data 23 includes image data 28 and sound effect data 29. The sound effect data 29 is data in which a plurality of types of sound effects to be output from the speaker 5 according to the player's operation or game situation are recorded in association with unique codes for each sound effect.

  The image data 28 is data for displaying on the monitor 4 a background image in the game screen, various objects, icons, characters to appear in the game, and the like. Data for displaying each character included in the image data 28 is associated with a unique code for each displayable character. Further, the image data 28 includes format data for displaying a format image as a basic format corresponding to a fixed portion of the character card KC to be printed. Details of the format image will be described later.

  Next, a monster training game executed on the game machine 1 will be described. In the game, the player executes monster training. Specifically, the monster is trained by causing the monster to be trained to fight other monsters or responding to events during the game. In monsters, growth increases in strength and changes in characteristics. In addition, by combining a plurality of monsters, a new monster having new characteristics and the like is generated.

  The monster to be raised can be selected in the game. Further, by reading the information on the character card KC into the game machine 1 through the bar code reader 10, the monster (functioning as an example of a play medium) defined by the character card KC is reproduced during the game. The monster of the character card KC reproduced during the game can be selected as a breeding target.

  The player can print the monster cultivated through the game as a new character card KC. In other words, a monster that has grown through battles with other monsters or a monster that has been newly synthesized and generated can be created as a new character card KC. This character card KC can be used in the next game. Therefore, the character card can be used as a record of the training result, and one character (Monster) can be continuously trained.

  In this way, it is possible to continuously cultivate monsters or generate new monsters using the character card KC. And since the game result is reflected in this character card KC, it is hard to generate the thing of the same content elsewhere. Therefore, an original character card KC that does not exist elsewhere can be created.

  Next, the character card KC created by the game machine 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the character card KC created by the game machine 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the character card KC includes a basic information area SI, a barcode information area BI, a character image area CI, and a feature information area FI.

  In the basic information area SI, information on the name of the player, information on the name of the character defined by each card, and status information indicating the hit point (HP), attack point (AT), special point (SP), etc. of the character. It is included. In the character image area CI, a character image KG defined by each card is displayed. In the feature information area FI, when the character defined in each card is used in the game, information on options (techniques) that can be executed in the game, information on special moves, and a card number indicating the ID of each card Contains information.

  In the barcode information area BI, a two-dimensional barcode NB as a game two-dimensional barcode is displayed. The two-dimensional barcode NB is used to reproduce the character defined by each card during the game. Specifically, the two-dimensional barcode NB is used for reading with a card reader of a game machine. For this reason, the information indicated by the two-dimensional barcode NB includes all information for defining the characters included in the character card KC. That is, the two-dimensional barcode includes information in each of the basic information area SI, the character image area CI, and the feature information area FI. Information such as a unique number indicating the image KG may be used as information on the character image KG in the character image area CI. In the game machine, the character image KG may be displayed using a table that associates the unique number with the character image KG.

  Each information in each of the basic information area SI, the character image area CI, and the characteristic information area FI varies depending on the game play result, that is, the breeding result. For example, the hit points of the character increase, the options that can be executed in the game increase, or change depending on the play result of the game. That is, each information in each of the basic information area SI, the character image area CI, and the feature information area FI is associated with the game result so as to change based on the game play content. Each information in the basic information area SI, the character image area CI, and the feature information area FI functions as reproduction information of the present invention. In addition, information used for reproducing the character in the game among the reproduction information functions as definition information of the present invention. Then, the definition information and the option information after changing according to the game result function as the definition information after the change and the information of the option after the change, respectively.

  On the other hand, FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a format image. As shown in FIG. 4, in each area of the basic information area SI, barcode information area BI, character image area CI, and feature information area FI of the format image FG, there is information for defining a character to be reproduced during the game. Not included. That is, the format image FG is an image of a basic format portion that can be fixedly printed on the character card KC. More specifically, the basic format portion is formed by a boundary line for defining each area. That is, the character card KC is configured by the format image FG and each piece of information (information arranged in each area) that changes according to the game result.

  In the example of FIG. 4, player name information, character name information, and the like are not displayed in the basic information area SI. That is, they are blank. Similarly, numerical values such as hit points corresponding to the status information are not displayed. That is, the basic information area SI does not include information corresponding to these. The character image area CI does not display the character image KG, and the feature information area FI does not display option information, information on the special move, card number information, or the like. Furthermore, the two-dimensional barcode NB is not displayed in the barcode information area BI. That is, an area for concretely defining characters in each of the basic information area SI, the barcode information area BI, the character image area CI, and the feature information area FI, that is, an area in which information changes according to the game result is Is blank. In these blank display areas, information corresponding to the game result is arranged when the character card KC is printed.

  Next, an outline of processing executed by the game control unit 17 will be described. The game control unit 17 appropriately executes a reproduction processing routine shown in FIG. 5 and an image data generation processing routine shown in FIG. 6 as processing necessary for creating the character card KC and reproducing the character defined by the character card KC. To run. 5 is handled by the reproduction unit 25, and the routine of FIG. 6 is handled by the data generation unit 26. In addition, the game control unit 17 executes various other processes necessary for the game, but since these can be realized by known processes, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of a reproduction processing routine. The routine of FIG. 5 is executed in order to reproduce the character defined by the character card KC during the game. For example, the reproduction unit 25 is executed at a predetermined cycle during a predetermined period from the instruction to start reading barcode information to the instruction to start the game. Alternatively, it may be executed based on an operation of inserting a card into the barcode reader 10 instead of a predetermined cycle.

  When the reproduction process routine of FIG. 5 is started, the reproduction unit 25 first acquires information for defining a character included in the character card KC in step S1. Specifically, based on a signal output from the barcode reader 10, information defining a character included in the two-dimensional barcode NB of the character card KC, that is, a basic information area SI, a character image area CI, a feature information area Each information in each area of the FI is acquired.

  In the next step S <b> 2, the reproduction unit 25 acquires data for displaying a character image corresponding to the character defined by the character card KC from the image data 28. Specifically, it is defined by the character card KC from among the images of each character that can be displayed by the image data 28 based on the information indicating the character image KG included in the two-dimensional barcode NB acquired in step S1. The character image KG corresponding to the character to be identified is specified. This specification may be realized by, for example, a unique number and a table that associates this number with the character image KG. Then, data for displaying the image KG of the specified character is acquired from the image data 28.

  In subsequent step S3, the reproduction unit 25 generates reproduction data used to reproduce the character defined by the character card KC during the game. The reproduction data includes data for displaying the character image KG acquired in step S2. The reproduction data also includes each piece of information acquired in step S21.

  In the next step S4, the reproduction unit 25 outputs the reproduction data generated in step S3 to a predetermined storage area, and ends the current routine. As the predetermined storage area, an area such as an internal storage device of the game control unit 17 or an external storage device 21 in which various data usable in the game are stored at least temporarily may be used. The reproduction data is stored in a predetermined storage area, and is appropriately used depending on the situation such as game development. As a result, a character having characteristics and the like defined by the character card KC is reproduced during the game with an image similar to the display on the character card KC (as a result, the character image KG functions as the play medium of the present invention. ).

  On the other hand, characters reproduced on the character card KC are nurtured throughout the game, and the characteristics and the like can change. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of an image data generation processing routine. The routine of FIG. 6 is executed to create a character card KC corresponding to the raised character based on the game result. The data generation unit 26 executes the routine of FIG. 6 based on a predetermined instruction from the player such as a character card printing instruction, for example. Note that the predetermined instruction may include an operation of selecting a character for which a character card KC is to be created from characters existing in the game. Moreover, the routine of FIG. 6 is not limited to the form performed based on the predetermined | prescribed instruction | indication of a player. For example, the routine of FIG. 6 may be executed every time the game ends.

  When the image data generation processing routine of FIG. 6 is started, the data generation unit 26 first acquires a game result in step S11. The game result includes information such as characteristics that have grown and changed due to the game, that is, information on the basic information area SI, the character image area CI, and the feature information area FI that have changed throughout the game.

  In the next step S12, the data generation unit 26 acquires image data 28 for causing the printer 16 to print the character image KG corresponding to the game result acquired in step S11. Specifically, data for printing the character image KG changed according to the game result in the character image area CI is acquired from the image data 28.

  In the next step S <b> 13, the data generation unit 26 further acquires format data included in the image data 28. In subsequent step S14, the data generation unit 26 generates barcode data for expressing the two-dimensional barcode NB including each piece of information based on each piece of information acquired in step S11.

  In the next step S15, the data generation unit 26 is based on the game result acquired in step S11, the image data 28 acquired in step S12, the format data acquired in step S13, and the barcode data generated in step S14. Generate image data. Specifically, specific information (character image) corresponding to the game result is displayed in each blank display area of the basic information area SI, the characteristic information area FI, the character image area CI, and the barcode information area BI in the format image FG. Image data for expressing a combined image obtained by combining the format image FG and each piece of information regarding the game result is generated. The composite image represented by the image data includes display of a character image KG and a two-dimensional barcode NB. In other words, this image data is a composite image displayed based on the image data 28 and the barcode data, the character image KG being displayed in the character image area CI, and the two-dimensional barcode NB being displayed in the barcode information area BI. It is configured to express.

  In the next step S <b> 16, the data generation unit 26 outputs the image data generated in step S <b> 15 to the printer 16. The printer 16 prints a composite image expressed by the image data on the character card KC based on the output image data. The printer 16 may be controlled by the control unit 15 so that a composite image represented by the image data is printed on the character card KC based on the output image data. When the data generation unit 26 finishes the process of step S16, the current routine ends. Thereby, the character card KC that defines the character that has grown in accordance with the game result is printed through the printer 16 and discharged from the card discharge port 12.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the game result is reflected on the printed character card KC. That is, the content of the printed character card KC changes according to the game result. For this reason, the variation of the character card KC can theoretically be increased without limitation. Therefore, the player can also acquire an original character card that does not exist elsewhere. Thereby, the interest property of a game can be improved. Further, since it is not necessary to prepare a printed character card KC in the game machine 1, it is possible to reduce costs and labor for inventory management and the like.

  Further, the printed character card KC includes a two-dimensional barcode NB including information on the character defined by the character card KC. For this reason, this character card KC can be used in the next and subsequent games. Thus, since the character can be continuously nurtured, that is, a continuous game play can be promoted, an increase in the number of plays can be promoted. On the other hand, if the game result is unsatisfactory, such as character training, it can be rearranged using the pre-play cards. In this case as well, motivation for replaying the game can be provided, so that an increase in the number of plays can be promoted.

  In the above embodiment, the control unit 15 functions as an information providing unit by executing the routine of FIG. 6 through the data generation unit 26.

  This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned form, It can implement with a suitable form. In the above-described form, a card-like paper member is used as the print medium, but the print medium is not limited to such a form. For example, if printing is possible with a printer, each member such as a plastic member or a metal member may be used as the print medium.

  Further, the recording medium is not limited to such a printing medium. For example, an optical storage medium such as DVDROM or CDROM, or a nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as EEPROM may be used as the recording medium. An IC card is an example in which a nonvolatile semiconductor memory is used. In this case, various types of information such as image data may be output so as to be stored in these storage media. Therefore, in this case, the control unit 15 may function as an output unit through the data generation unit 26.

  The storage medium may include a communication unit that can transmit and receive information using infrared rays or the like, and may be configured to be communicable. The communication unit may be configured to be able to communicate through a network such as the Internet. A mobile phone may be used as an example of a storage medium including such a communication unit. In this case, information such as received image data may be stored in an external storage device connected to the CPU included in the mobile phone. In this case, the external storage device of the mobile phone functions as a recording unit. Moreover, in these cases, the game machine should just be provided with the communication means which can communicate with a communication part. Thereby, the communication means functions as the output means. In this case, the communication means may be controlled by the control unit 15.

  Further, if the recording medium includes a control unit such as a CPU and a monitor, such as a mobile phone, a composite image can be displayed on the monitor based on the image data. Thereby, also in these cases, information such as image data recorded on the recording medium can be recognized by the player through display of a composite image or the like. As described above, when the recording medium can represent the composite image based on the image data, the image data is obtained. When the recording medium is a print medium that cannot represent the image data, the composite image is obtained. Should be recorded.

  Further, when a mobile phone is used as a recording medium, a game using information related to game results in a storage medium may be provided on the mobile phone side. That is, a common monster training game may be provided in the mobile phone and the game machine 1. In addition, information regarding the game result provided to the mobile phone using the communication means or the like may be used in a monster training game provided by the mobile phone. That is, the game result of the game machine 1 may be used for a monster training game for a mobile phone. Furthermore, in the case where a game common to the game machine 1 is also provided on the mobile phone, provision of information related to the game result to the mobile phone is not limited to a form using a communication unit or the like. For example, when a mobile phone is provided with a camera or the like and the mobile phone can read code information created in accordance with a predetermined standard such as a two-dimensional bar code, a game is played on the mobile phone via the character card KC. Information about the results may be provided.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between the mobile phone and the game machine 1 when the monster training game is provided also on the mobile phone. Further, the example of FIG. 7 shows an example in which information related to the game result is provided to the mobile phone via the character card KC. As shown in FIG. 7, for example, on the mobile phone 35, the character defined in the character card KC is reproduced during the game based on the two-dimensional barcode NB of the character card KC. The process for reproducing the character may be the same as the routine of FIG. 5, for example. In addition, the mobile phone 35 provides a monster training game using characters reproduced in the same manner as the game machine 1. In the mobile phone 35, image data reflecting the game result is generated as a result of the monster training game. That is, as a result of the monster training game, image data for reproducing the post-bred character after the character card KC character has been bred is generated. The process for generating image data may be the same as the routine of FIG. 6, for example. Thereby, the game result of the game machine 1 can be taken over by the game of the mobile phone 35.

  On the other hand, information corresponding to the game result of the mobile phone 35 may be further provided to the game machine 1. That is, a post-bred character corresponding to the game result of the mobile phone 35 may be reproduced on the game machine 1. Such reproduction may be realized, for example, via the card image 36 displayed on the monitor MO of the mobile phone 35 by image data generated as a game result. Alternatively, the image data may be provided to the game machine 1 using communication means or the like. The card image 36 is an image that reproduces the character card KC. Therefore, it has the same information and mode as the character card KC. That is, the card image 36 can function as the character card KC. For this reason, for example, the game machine 1 is provided with information related to the game result via the code image NBI corresponding to the two-dimensional barcode NB in the card image 36. In this case, the barcode reader 10 may be configured by a camera or the like that can read the code image NBI. In this way, the game result of the mobile phone 35 may be returned to the game machine 1 further.

  In the game machine 1, a monster training game may be further executed using the game result provided by the mobile phone 35. The game result may be provided again as the character card KC. That is, between the game machine 1 and the mobile phone 35, a common monster training game for training a common character (used for playing a game) is provided. A loop state may be formed between the game machine 1 and the mobile phone 35 such that game results are mutually provided and common character development is promoted. By using the mobile phone 35, the game play time can be extended. Thereby, the interest property of a game can be improved. In addition, the game player layer can be expanded to the user group of the mobile phone 35. Thereby, since a player layer is expanded, utilization of the game machine 1 can be promoted. Furthermore, for example, if there are privileges such as items that can be given only when played on the game machine 1 side, the use of the game machine 1 can be further promoted.

  In addition, as long as it is possible to acquire and provide information regarding game results using a communication means or a code that conforms to a predetermined standard such as a two-dimensional barcode NB, a terminal that provides a game common to the game machine 1 It is not limited to the mobile phone 35. For example, a personal computer or a home game machine may be used as a terminal for providing a game common to the game machine 1. Further, the card image NBI generated by a mobile phone or the like and data for expressing the card image NBI may be used in the mobile phone without being output to the game machine 1, for example. That is, the card image NBI generated by a mobile phone or the like may be used so as to be completed within the mobile phone without being output to a mobile phone or the like different from the mobile phone.

  In addition, when the information regarding a game result is exchanged using a communication means etc., the code | cord | chord image NBI in the card | curd image 36 may be abbreviate | omitted. That is, the image data generated by the mobile phone 35 may not include data for expressing a code compliant with a predetermined standard such as the two-dimensional barcode NB.

  In the above-described embodiment, a monster training game is executed on the game machine 1, but a game (including a game provided by a mobile phone or the like) executed on the game machine 1 is not limited to such a game. For example, various games such as an action game and a role playing game may be executed. As game machines, various game machines such as business use, home use, stationary type, and portable type, personal computers, mobile phones, and the like may be used.
