Two energization areas 204 and 205 are provided. In the present embodiment, the energized areas 204 and 205 are formed by printing with energized ink on the seal substrate, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, the character object appearing in the game modeled on the upper surface 200a is determined by the positions of the contacts 204a and 205a of the energized areas 204 and 205. Note that although a case where two energization regions are provided is described in this embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and an arbitrary number of two or more can be selected. The energizing portions 204b and 205b included in the energizing regions 204 and 205 extend to the grip portions 203a and 203b that are picked and operated by the player, and are arranged to be electrically connected.

  FIG. 3 shows the internal configuration of the game apparatus 100. The game apparatus 100 includes a CPU 101, a RAM 102, a touch panel unit 103, a communication interface (I / F) unit 104, a ROM 105, a sound processing unit 107, a speaker 108, and an internal storage device 110. A control line is commonly connected to a bus 109 composed of a plurality of lines.

  The CPU 101 controls the entire game apparatus 100 using programs, data, and the like according to the present embodiment stored in a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 105, as well as a game application 111 described later. Control progress. The RAM 102 includes an area for reading the game application 111 and the game data 112 stored in the internal storage device 110, and also includes a work area used when the CPU 101 executes various processes.

  The touch panel unit 103 functions as an input unit that receives input from the player, and further functions as a display unit that displays display data generated by the CPU 101. As will be described later, when the touch panel unit 103 detects that a predetermined area is assigned to the touch surface and the medal 200 is placed in the predetermined area of the touch surface, the touch panel unit 103 transfers the position information to the CPU 101. Receiving this, the CPU 101 recognizes the position of each contact printed on the bottom surface of the medal 200, generates a character object determined by the combination of the recognized positions of each contact, and displays it on the touch panel unit 103. In the present embodiment, display data is displayed on the touch panel unit, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be changed as appropriate. For example, a display unit may be provided separately from the touch panel unit that performs operation control, or a plurality of touch panel units and display units may be provided.

  The communication I / F unit 104 functions as an interface circuit for connecting to another game device via a cable, or connecting to the Internet or a LAN (local area network). Directly related to the present invention, the game server 400 is connected to an external game server 400 via an IP (Internet Protocol) network 300. When the game server 100 (CPU 101) newly registers a serial number uniquely assigned to each medal 200 by the game device 100 (CPU 101), the registered serial number is the same group as the character object having the serial number previously input. It is determined whether or not it belongs to (group), the data of the character object is updated according to the determination result, data for displaying the character object whose effect in the game is doubled on the display unit of the game device is generated, and the IP It transmits to the game apparatus 100 via the network 300.

  In addition to the program according to the present embodiment, for example, a boot program and setting data for the game apparatus 100 are stored in the ROM 105, and transferred to the RAM 102 as necessary. As will be described later, the program according to the present embodiment includes a medal registration process, a medal recognition process, and a game cooperation process. That is, after registering the serial number of the medal 200 in the game server 400 and detecting that the medal 200 is placed in a predetermined area on the touch surface of the touch panel unit 103, the position of each contact is recognized and recognized. In addition, a character object appearing in the game determined by the combination of the positions of the respective contacts is generated and displayed on the touch panel unit 103.

  The sound processing unit 107 generates BGM and sound effects based on the sound data included in the game data 112 and outputs the generated BGM and sound effects to the speaker 108.

  The internal storage device 110 is configured by a storage device capable of writing and reading, such as a hard disk and a flash memory, and stores game data 112 and a character conversion table 113 in addition to the game application 111. The game application 111 is a program that controls the entire game, and is acquired from the game server 400 by downloading as necessary. The game data 112 includes data for generating an image of each object (character, item, background screen, etc.) constituting the game screen, the above-described sound data, various parameters, and the like. That is, it includes character data and item data representing characters used in the game. When a player tries to execute an online game by connecting the game apparatus 100 to a network, the game application 111 or the game data 112 is downloaded from the game server 400 on the network that provides the game application 111. Includes game apps and data.

  The character conversion table 113 stores correspondence data between a combination of integer values generated by the CPU 101 and a character object to be converted, as will be described later. That is, when the CPU 101 detects that the medal 200 is placed in a predetermined area on the touch surface of the touch panel unit 103, the CPU 101 recognizes the position of each contact point that the medal 200 has and recognizes the position of each recognized contact point. It functions as an application execution control unit that generates a character object that appears in the game application 111 determined by the combination (output as an integer) and displays it on the touch panel unit 103. The character conversion table 113 is referred to at this time.

  In addition, the CPU 101 captures the serial number that is uniquely assigned to each medal 200 by the player operating the touch panel unit 103 and newly inputs the serial number, and the game is played via a communication line such as the IP network 300. When the game server 400 determines that the registered serial number belongs to the same group as the previously generated character object, the character transmitted from the game server 400 is powered up. It also functions as an application execution control unit that receives data of a character object that has an effect such as a drop, generates a new character object that reflects the effect based on the received data, and displays it on the touch panel unit 103.

(Operation of the embodiment)
Hereinafter, the operation of the game apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 and the operation conceptual diagrams shown in FIGS.

  First, the basic processing operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. If the game device 100 (CPU 101) is a medal 200 newly purchased by the player (step S10 “Yes”), the game device 100 (CPU 101) displays a new medal registration screen on the touch panel unit 103 and prints it on the top surface 200a of the medal 200. A medal registration process for registering the serial number thus registered in the game server 400 is executed (step S11). Subsequently, when it is detected that the medal 200 is placed in a predetermined area on the touch surface of the touch panel unit 103, a medal recognition process for recognizing the positions of the two contact points printed on the bottom surface 200b of the medal 200 is executed. (Step S12). And the game cooperation process which produces | generates the object which appears in the game application decided by the combination of the position of each recognized contact, and displays it on the touch panel part 103 is performed (step S13).

  The procedure of the medal registration process in FIG. 5 (step S11 in FIG. 4) will be described. First, an identification information (serial number) input screen is displayed on the touch panel unit 103 under the control of the CPU 101 (step S110). When the player inputs a serial number uniquely assigned to each medal 200 by operating the touch panel unit 103 on the serial number input screen (step S111 “Yes”), the CPU 101 captures the serial number, and the bus 109, communication I / F The information is transmitted to the game server 400 via the unit 104 and the IP network 300 (step S112).

  In response, the game server 400 determines whether or not the registered serial numbers belong to the same character group that has been registered by the same game device 100 (IP address) in the past. If it is determined that the registration is completely new (step S113 “No”), the effect data is received from the game server 400 (step S114), and belongs to the same character group registered in the past. If it is determined (step S113 “Yes”), the effect data with improved rarity is received (step S115). Then, the CPU 101 stores the received effect data as game data 112 in the internal storage device 110 (step S116).

As will be described later by this process, the game apparatus 100 can display a character object indicating a specific character based on the effect data on the touch panel unit 103 to appear in the game application 111, or indicates a character with increased effect. The character object can be displayed on the touch panel unit 103 and reflected on the game application 111.

  Next, the procedure of the medal recognition process in FIG. 6 (step S12 in FIG. 4) will be described. First, under the control of the CPU 101, a medal recognition screen is displayed on the touch panel unit 103 (step S120). For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the medal recognition screen is displayed by assigning a start area 103a and a determination area 103b provided at a position shifted from the start area 103a to a predetermined screen area of the touch panel unit 103. . If the CPU 101 recognizes that both of the two contacts 204a and 205a printed on the bottom surface 200b of the medal 200 are touched in the start area 103a (step S121 “Yes”), the CPU 101 determines the integer value “0”. Is output to start the medal recognition (step S122).

  Subsequently, when the player performs a drag operation on the medal 200 to the determination area 103b (step S123 “Yes”), the CPU 101 uses the two contact points 204a and 205a on the bottom surface 200b of the medal 200 in the determination area 103b to coordinate the touch point. After the start of recognition, for example, after a countdown of 2 seconds or the like (step S124 “Yes”), when the corresponding specific value is confirmed (step S125 “Yes”), the value is output as position information (step S124). S126). In this embodiment, when the medal 200 is slid to the determination area after the touch of the two contacts of the medal 200 is detected in the start area, the process of starting the recognition of the coordinate positions of the two contacts of the medal 200 is performed. Done. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the start area is not provided, and the medal 200 may be suddenly placed in the determination area. However, as in the present embodiment, the start area is provided before the determination area. Thus, erroneous recognition of the contacts can be prevented.

  FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the output integer value and the touch points by the two contact points 204a and 205a of the medal 200. As shown in FIG. 9, the specific value is represented by a 2-digit integer value. In the determination area 103b, integers “1” to “7” are assigned to the left and right blocks with the center line c as a boundary. The CPU 101 calculates integers “1” to “7” respectively assigned to the left and right blocks in the determination area 103b according to the touch positions of the two contact points 204a and 205a of the medal 200 on the determination area 103b of the touch panel unit 103. Then, two-digit integer values “11” to “77” based on the combination are output. That is, the touch point value of the left determination area 103b is output as 1 digit and the touch point value of the right determination area 103b is output as 10 digits toward the front of the character formed on the top surface 200a of the medal 200. In total, 49 types of integers exist.

  Therefore, according to the touch point to the determination area 103b of the two contacts 204a and 205a of the medal 200 shown in FIG. 9A, “integer 33” is output, and the CPU 101 stores the character conversion table 113 of the internal storage device 110. By referencing, it is converted into the character object of the corresponding character A and reflected in the game application 111. Further, according to the touch point to the determination area 103b of the two contact points 204a and 205a shown in FIG. 9B, “integer 44” is output, and the CPU 101 refers to the character conversion table 113 of the internal storage device 110. Is converted into the character object of the corresponding character B and reflected in the game application 111. Further, according to the touch point to the determination area 103b of the two contact points 204a and 205a shown in FIG. 9C, “integer 47” is output, and the CPU 101 refers to the character conversion table 113 of the internal storage device 110. Is converted into the character object of the corresponding character C and reflected in the game application 111.

  Further, according to the touch point to the determination area 103b of the two contacts 204a and 205a of the medal 200 shown in FIG. 9D, “integer 34” is output, and the CPU 101 stores the character conversion table 113 of the internal storage device 110. By referencing, it is converted into a character object of the corresponding character D and reflected in the game application 111. Further, according to the touch point to the determination area 103b of the two contact points 204a and 205a of the medal 200 shown in FIG. 9E, “integer 74” is output, and the CPU 101 stores the character conversion table 113 of the internal storage device 110. By referencing, it is converted into a character object of the corresponding character E and reflected in the game application 111. Further, according to the touch point to the determination area 103b of the two contact points 204a and 205a of the medal 200 shown in FIG. 9F, “integer 77” is output, and the CPU 101 stores the character conversion table 113 of the internal storage device 110. By referencing, it is converted into the character object of the corresponding character F and reflected in the game application 111.

  By the way, the medal 200 is manipulated by gripping both ends. At a predetermined position of the bottom surface 200b of the base material A having a predetermined thickness, a tip portion having contacts 204a and 205a and an end of the base material A from the tip portion. As described above, the two energized areas 204 and 205 on which the energized ink is printed are provided. The energized areas 204b and 205b extend toward the area. The medal 200 is prepared corresponding to each character object generated by the game apparatus 100. That is, corresponding to the 49 types of touch points including the arrangements of FIGS. 9A to 9F, the contacts 204a and 205b are arranged at the respective tips, and extend toward the grips 203a and 203b. Thus, there is a medal 200 on which the energization areas 204 and 205 including the energization units 204b and 205b are mounted.

  10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D show four extracted examples of the arrangement of the energized areas 204 and 205 printed on the bottom surface 200b of the medal 200. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, each energization region is mounted at the tip portion having contacts 204a, 205a of energization regions 204, 205 mounted on the bottom surface 200b of the medal 200. In addition to the different positions, the lengths of the energization units 204b and 205b are also different. In particular, in the energization region 204 shown in FIG. 10 (d), the contact 204a is disposed near the center of the bottom surface, and therefore the energization portion 204b is compared with the case where the contact 204a is disposed near the end of the bottom surface. The distance is long. In this case, since the area of contact with the touch surface of the touch panel unit 103 is larger than the case where the contact 204a is arranged near the end of the bottom surface, there is a high possibility that the energization unit 204b is recognized as a contact instead of the contact 204a. In addition, the possibility of erroneous recognition of the contact is increased.

  In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 11B, in the energization region 204b mounting region in the energization region 204 of the base material A, a shape processing process with a gradient 200c is applied to the end region. . FIG.11 (c) is the figure which provided the electricity supply area | region in the base material in which the gradient 200c was provided in the edge part. As shown in FIG. 11C, when the base material A is placed on the touch panel unit 103 by providing a gradient 200c inclined upward from the bottom surface toward the gripping unit 203b, the contact 204a is connected to the touch panel unit. The contact portion 103b is in contact with the touch surface of the touch panel portion 103 but the contact portion 103b is difficult to contact with the touch surface of the touch panel portion 103, so that the possibility of erroneous recognition of the contact point that the conductive portion 204b is erroneously recognized as a contact point is reduced. Can do. In addition, Fig.11 (a) is the planar base material A which does not have the gradient 200c. In this way, by tilting the vicinity of the end of the substrate according to the position of the contact, the possibility of erroneous recognition of the contact in the touch panel portion can be reduced.

  The description returns to the flowchart of FIG. When the CPU 101 receives the cancel signal after the integer value is determined and output (step S125 “Yes”, S126), for example, the medal 200 is separated from the touch surface of the touch panel unit 103 within 2 seconds. (Step S127 “Yes”), the integer value “88” is output, and the process returns to Step S (Step S130). This is effective as a remedy for misrecognition. Further, for example, when an error determination is made (for example, when an integer is not fixed even after 2 seconds have elapsed) (step S125 “No”), for example, an integer value “99” is output (step S128). After one second has elapsed (step S129 “Yes”), the state returns to the two-point touch standby state by the contact in step S121.

  Next, the game cooperation process in FIG. 7 (step S13 in FIG. 4) will be described. First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the integer values “11” to “77” determined in the medal recognition process (step S12 in FIG. 4) have been received (step S130). Here, if the confirmed correct integer value is received (step S130 “Yes”), the presence / absence of a registered medal determined by the game server 400 (step S131), or none (step S131 “No”). Then, an original character object is generated (step S132), and if present (step S131 “Yes”), an evolved character object or item based on the effect data acquired from the game server 400 is generated (step S133). By reflecting in the game application 111, cooperation with the game application 111 is performed (step S134). Thereafter, game processing is executed in the game application 111 in which the character has participated (step S135).

  According to the game device 100 according to the present embodiment, the application execution control unit realized by the cooperation of the CPU 101 and the touch panel unit 103 has a game character input device having two contact points 204a and 205a on the bottom surface 200b.

  Further, the application execution control unit described above registers in the game server 400 each time a serial number (identification information) assigned to each medal 200 is newly input, and the game server 400 generates the serial number first. If it is determined that the character object belongs to the same group as the character object, the data of the character object with increased effect is received, and a new character object evolved based on the received data is generated. Therefore, the player registers a plurality of serial numbers belonging to the same character type, so that the player can use the character object or the evolved item that has doubled the effect based on the data obtained from the game server 400 with improved rarity. Since the game can be executed, it is more interesting. In addition, since the effect doubles as the medals 200 are collected, the medal seller can obtain a sales promotion effect by selling the medals 200 as the capsule product 20.

  In addition, although the smart phone was illustrated as the game device 100 concerning this embodiment, it is not restricted to a smart phone, The game machine which has a touchscreen as an operation display means, and has an internet connection environment, PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), or PC (Personal Computer). Further, as a newly generated character object, an object related to a character modeled on the top surface 200a of the medal 200 without being limited to the two-dimensional animation CG, an illustration, a still image, a three-dimensional animation CG, Alternatively, any of augmented reality images using AR (Augment Reality) technology may be used.

  Note that the program according to the present embodiment is executed by a computer (CPU 101) of a game device 100 that executes a game application, which includes a touch panel unit 103 with a predetermined area assigned to a touch surface, as shown in FIG. Executed. Then, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, a game character input device having two contacts on the bottom surface of the base material having a predetermined thickness that is operated by pinching both ends is provided on the computer. When the position of the contact is detected, the process of recognizing the position of each contact (step S12 in FIG. 4; steps S120 to S130 in FIG. 6) and the recognized position of each contact A process of generating a character object appearing in the game application determined by the process and displaying it on the touch panel unit (step S13 in FIG. 4; steps S130 to S135 in FIG. 7) is executed.

  According to the program according to the present embodiment, for example, when the CPU 101 sequentially reads and executes the program stored in the ROM 103, a character object of a new character appears by the medal 200 in an evolutionary battle game, for example. By linking with the application 111, the player can have new interest. Further, since the character evolves as the medals 200 are collected, the sales company can obtain an effect of increasing the sales promotion effect by selling the medals 200 as the capsule product 20.
