The feature is that the image 5b is arranged. That is, the CPU 10a reads the image data corresponding to each answer on the questionnaire Q1 screen 22 and the questionnaire Q2 screen 23 from the character table T1, for example, the answer to the questionnaire Q1 screen 22 is "Man" and the questionnaire Q2 If the answer to the screen 23 is “10 years old”, the image data d001 (data indicating an image of a boy of about 10 years old or less) is read out.

  In this way, the questionnaire Q3 screen 24 displays the characters (objects) reflecting the response results so far (answers indicating the user's own profile), so that the person who answers the questionnaire is the third person on the questionnaire Q3 screen 24. In response to the question, the user will be interested in what kind of character is displayed, which brings about an effect of increasing interest in the questionnaire.

  The questionnaire Q3 screen 24 shows a third question 24a below the response character 5b, and a first response button 24b and a second response in order from the lower left to the right of the screen. A button (father) 24c, a third answer button (mother) 24d, a fourth answer button (grandpa) 24e, and a fifth answer button (grandma) 24f are arranged.

  In the questionnaire Q3 screen 24, as in the questionnaire screens 22 and 23 described above, when any of the first response button 24b to the fifth response button 24f is selected, the content corresponding to the selected button is used as an answer. The CPU 10a receives and performs a process of storing answer data indicating the selected button in the column Q3 of the answer table T3. When each of the answer buttons 24b to 24f is selected, the answer stored in the column of Q3 is any one of “1” to {5} as in the case of the questionnaire Q2 screen 23. In the questionnaire Q3 screen 24, a plurality of response buttons 24b to 24f can be selected. When a plurality of response buttons 24b to 24f are selected, a plurality of responses are also stored in the column of Q3 of the response table T3. .

  FIG. 8B shows a state in which all the responses have been completed by selecting the third response button 24d and the fifth response button 24f on the above-described questionnaire Q3 screen 24. FIG. When the CPU 10a receives an answer on the questionnaire Q3 screen 24, in addition to storing the answer in the column Q3 of the answer table T3 described above, the CPU 10a responds to the accepted answer from the character table T1 of FIG. The image data is read out and the images of the support characters (corresponding to objects) 6 and 7 corresponding to the read image data are arranged and displayed on the screen, and the CPU 10a functions as an object display means. .

  In the case of FIG. 8B, the CPU 10a reads out from the character table T1 image data d022 corresponding to the “mother” of the third answer button 24d and image data d024 corresponding to “granny” of the fourth answer button 24f. The images of the support characters 6 and 7 are arranged on the questionnaire Q3 screen 24 by performing display processing of the read image data d022 and d024. The questionnaire processing in the questionnaire program P10 has contents that specify that the questionnaire questions are presented and responses are received using the screens 22 to 24 in the above-described procedure.

  Next, the game process in the questionnaire program P10 will be described. In the game process, when an answer is received in the above-described questionnaire process, the contents of the game process to be performed next are defined, and the game is performed using the answer character 5b and the support characters 6 and 7 that are also displayed in the questionnaire process. When a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the questionnaire Q3 screen 24 including the support characters 6 and 7 shown in FIG. 8B is displayed, the CPU 10a starts the progress of the game process. It will be.

  FIG. 9 shows a game screen 26 in progress of the game. In the game of the present embodiment, the answer character 5b who performs ball riding has a content that allows the predetermined route R to reach the goal without departing from the goal, and the display content is the answer character 5b displayed in the previous questionnaire process. , And the support characters 6 and 7 are continuously displayed, so that answering each question of the above-mentioned questionnaire results in setting the appearance character in the game screen. It has also become a thing.

  Further, as a way of playing the game in the present embodiment, the answer character 5b performing ball riding is advanced by tilting the casing 11 of the questionnaire device 10 forward, backward, leftward and rightward to a required degree. While the game is in progress, the CPU 10a displays the support characters 6 and 7 on the screen. The CPU 10a is devised to increase the atmosphere for supporting the game by appropriately moving the display position according to the progress of the game. The location on the screen where the support characters 6 and 7 are displayed is set around the answer character 5b and the display location is changed as the game progresses. The production is enhanced.

  Furthermore, the game screen 26 displays a first heart image 26a to a third heart image 26c showing an outline of elapsed time on the upper left of the screen. The CPU 10a starts the time counting process at the start of the game, and performs display processing for erasing the heart image 26a and the like one by one every time 30 seconds are counted, and the player of the game selects the heart images 26a to 26c. An overview of the remaining time can be grasped by the number. In the present embodiment, the CPU 10a determines that the game is over if 90 seconds have elapsed from the start of the game and the goal has not been reached using a total of three heart images 26a to 26c.

  FIG. 10A shows a game over screen 27. When the CPU 10a detects that 90 seconds have elapsed from the start of the game, the progress of the game is stopped and a game over character 27a is displayed at the center of the screen. It is the one arranged. As another example of the game over, when the answer character 5b is out of the route R, the game is over, and the CPU 10a always detects whether the answer character 5b remains in the route R while the game is in progress. If it is detected that the route R is off, it is determined that the game is over at that time.

  On the other hand, FIG. 10B shows a game clear screen 28, which is displayed when the CPU 10a detects that the answer character 5b has arrived at the goal (Goal) within 90 seconds from the start of the game. It is. When the game is cleared, the time measured when the game is cleared is stored in the main storage unit 10i. The game processing in the questionnaire program P10 stipulates that the contents relating to the progress of the game, the game over, and the game clear are performed in the above procedure.

  Finally, the lottery process in the questionnaire program P10 will be described. The lottery process is a process that starts when the game is cleared as shown in FIG. 10B in the above-described game process. Each lottery process is displayed on the display unit 12 while displaying the lottery screen. Process.

  FIG. 11A shows a lottery start screen 30 displayed on the display unit 12 when the lottery process is started. The lottery start screen 30 includes the above-described best score (the shortest time measured among the main memory 10i) and the current score (the latest time stored). When the lottery start screen 30 is displayed, the CPU 10a automatically performs a lottery process. The lottery process of the present embodiment basically uses a well-known method, and dynamically determines the winning probability using the total number of first prizes and second prizes in the prize table T2 of FIG. 4 as the denominator. A lottery is held. If all the prizes in the prize table T2 become zero, an error is displayed on the screen when the game ends, so it is necessary to make an appropriate setting on the management setting screen 21 described above.

  FIG. 11B shows a lottery result screen 31 in which the names of prizes awarded in the lottery are arranged in the center lottery result column 31a. In addition, with the display of the lottery result screen 31, the CPU 10a performs a process of subtracting the number of prizes won in the lottery from the prize table T2 in FIG. The lottery process in the questionnaire program P10 stipulates that the contents related to the lottery are performed in the above procedure.

  The first flowchart shown in FIG. 12 is a summary of the overall flow of a series of processing performed by the questionnaire device 10 (CPU 10a) based on the above-described rules of the questionnaire program P10. In addition, this 1st flowchart shows the flow of a process from the state which the questionnaire program P10 started.

  First, the questionnaire device 10 displays the opening screen 20 shown in FIG. 6A (S1), and determines whether or not an operation for calling the management setting screen 21 is performed in this display state (S2). When the operation is performed (S2: YES), the questionnaire device 10 performs a management setting process (S3). After the management setting process is performed (S3) or when the operation for reading the management setting screen 21 is not performed (S2: NO), the questionnaire device 10 next determines whether or not the game start button 20a is selected. Judgment is made (S4).

  When the game start button 20a is not selected (S4: NO), the selection wait state is entered, and when the game start button 20a is selected (S4: YES), the questionnaire device 10 performs a questionnaire process (S5), When the process is finished, a game process is performed (S6). Then, the questionnaire device 10 determines whether or not the game is cleared (S7).

  When the game is cleared (S7: YES), the questionnaire device 10 performs a lottery process (S8). On the other hand, if the game is not cleared (S7: NO), or after the lottery process is performed (S8), it is determined whether or not an operation to end the questionnaire program P10 that has been started is performed (S9). When the ending operation is not performed (S9: NO), the process returns to the first stage (S1). When the ending operation is performed (S9: YES), the questionnaire device 10 ends the series of processes. It will be.

  The second flowchart in FIG. 13 shows details of the contents of the questionnaire process in the step S5 in the first flowchart in FIG. When the questionnaire process is started, the questionnaire apparatus 10 first displays the questionnaire Q1 screen 22 of FIG. 7A (S10), and the questionnaire apparatus 10 determines whether or not there is an answer to the first question (Q1). (S11). If there is no answer (S11: NO), the system waits for an answer, and if there is an answer (S11: YES), the questionnaire device 10 sends an answer (Q1 answer) to the answer table T3 shown in FIG. Is stored together with the date and time when it is received (S12).

  Then, the questionnaire device 10 displays the questionnaire Q2 screen 23 of FIG. 7B (S13), and the questionnaire device 10 determines whether or not there is an answer to the second question (Q2) (S14). If there is no answer (S14: NO), the system waits for an answer, and if there is an answer (S14: YES), the questionnaire device 10 stores the answer (Q2 answer) in the answer table T3 (S15), and next The questionnaire Q3 screen 24 shown in FIG. 8A is displayed (S16). The answer character 5b on the displayed questionnaire Q3 screen 24 is such that the image data corresponding to the above Q1 and Q2 answers is read from the character table T1 in FIG. 3, and the image corresponding to the image data is the answer character 5b. As shown in the questionnaire Q3 screen 24.

  Then, the questionnaire device 10 determines whether or not there is an answer to the third question (Q3) (S17). When there is no answer (S17: NO), the answering apparatus waits for an answer and there is an answer (S17). : YES), the answer (Q3 answer) is stored in the answer table T3 (S18). Finally, the questionnaire device 10 reads image data corresponding to the Q3 answer from the character table T1, and uses the images corresponding to the image data as the cheering characters 6 and 7, as shown in FIG. It arranges and displays in the screen 24 (S19). The questionnaire Q3 screen 24 of FIG. 8B is displayed for a while (for example, about 2 to 6 seconds), and the questionnaire apparatus 10 ends the questionnaire process and automatically starts the game process (first) (See S5 and S6 in the flowchart).

  The third flowchart of FIG. 14 shows the details of the game process at the stage S6 in the first flowchart of FIG. 12. In the game process at the stage S6, a series of processes shown in the third flowchart is performed. . First, along with the start of the game (see S4 in the first flowchart), the questionnaire device 10 starts timing (S20) and displays the game screen 26 of FIG. 9 (S21). In addition, in the game screen 26, the answer character 5b and the cheering characters 6 and 7 who perform ball riding are displayed.

  Then, the questionnaire device 10 determines whether or not the character 5b performing the ball riding has deviated from the route (S22), and if not deviated (S22: NO), the time counted up (90 seconds have elapsed). (S23). If the time is not up (S23: NO), it is determined whether or not a goal has been reached (S24). If the goal has not been reached (S24: NO), the process returns to the step of displaying the game screen 26 (S21) again, and the above-described determinations (S22, 23, 24) are repeated.

  When the route is off (S22: YES) or when the time is up (S23: YES), the questionnaire device 10 determines that the game is over (game over) and displays the game over screen 27 in FIG. 10 (a). (S25). On the other hand, when the goal is reached (S24: YES), the questionnaire device 10 determines that the game is cleared, and displays the game clear screen 28 of FIG. 10B (S26). Note that the determination result of the game over at the stage of S25 or the determination result of the game clear at the stage of S26 is used for the determination process whether or not the game at the stage of S7 in the first flowchart of FIG. 12 is cleared. become.

  The fourth flowchart in FIG. 15 shows the contents of the lottery process in the step S8 in the first flowchart in FIG. 12. In the lottery process in the step S8, a series of processes shown in the fourth flowchart are performed. First, the questionnaire apparatus 10 displays the lottery start screen 30 of FIG. 11A with the start of the lottery process (S30), then executes the lottery (S31), and after a predetermined time (for example, 1 to 5 seconds) ) Displays the lottery result screen 31 of FIG. 11B (S32). Then, the questionnaire apparatus 10 performs a process of subtracting “1” from the number of prizes won in the lottery in the prize table T2 of FIG. 4 (S33), and ends the lottery process.

  As described above, since the questionnaire device 10 according to the present embodiment performs the questionnaire process in cooperation with the game process as described above, the answer to the questionnaire is appropriately displayed on the questionnaire screen and the game screen as a character (object). Will be displayed, and those who respond to the questionnaire will be less aware that they are answering the questionnaire and will be more aware that they are setting up the game. As well as making it easier to do so, there is a merit that it is easier to get answers based on natural consciousness. In addition, since the lottery can be performed if the game is cleared, the willingness to perform the questionnaire and the game is increased, and as a result, it is easy to increase the number of people who answer the questionnaire.

  Furthermore, since the questionnaire screen, the game screen, the lottery screen, and the like can be output from the questionnaire device 10 to the large display device 2, if these screens are displayed on the large screen 2a of the large display device 2, the surrounding people's Attracting interest and exhibiting the effect of attracting customers, it is expected that more people will answer the questionnaire for games or lottery purposes, and this will contribute to increasing the number of responses to the questionnaire. The answer stored in the questionnaire device 10 can be appropriately uploaded to the server S by the questionnaire operator or the administrator using the management setting screen 21, so that the answer can be reported in accordance with the convenience of the site where the questionnaire is conducted.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be considered. For example, the number of questions in the questionnaire process, the contents of the questions, etc. can be set as appropriate by the planner of the questionnaire. For example, the first question to the second question are question contents related to the game process, and the third question Thereafter, the contents may be irrelevant to the game process (for example, reasons for visiting the store, questions about new products / new services, etc., specifically, questions for asking the result of tasting new juice). Even with this kind of question setting, the first question (first and second questions) will be asked questions related to game processing. Awareness is often raised and awareness of questionnaires is often reduced. For this reason, when setting multiple questions, it is preferable that the first half of the multiple questions be related to the game processing in terms of having an image that makes the questionnaire responses also serve as game settings. Yes, it is preferable to set contents irrelevant to the game process (questions that the questionnaire planner really wants to ask) in the latter half of the plurality of questions.

  Further, it is of course possible to apply a game other than the above-mentioned ball riding game as the content of the game, even if a game on the game screen 40 as shown in FIG. 16 (a game aiming at the target 40b with the cannon 40a) is introduced. However, even in such a game, as shown in the game screen 40, images of the characters 41 to 43 corresponding to the answers obtained by the questionnaire process are arranged. Further, depending on the game content, a game explanation screen (tutorial screen) may be displayed between the questionnaire process and the game process (between the stage S5 and the stage S6 in the first flowchart in FIG. 12). In addition, on the displayed explanation screen, the user can learn how to operate the game (for example, how to operate the ball riding character to a predetermined place by tilting the housing 11 as appropriate). When the operation is mastered (for example, when the ball riding character has advanced to a predetermined location), the game process may be started. Furthermore, the type and number of prizes can of course be different from those described above according to the wishes of the questionnaire planner.

  The present invention makes it possible to play a game after the questionnaire, and to display a character reflecting the questionnaire response result on the game screen so that the questionnaire answer also serves as a game setting. Therefore, it can be used suitably for making it possible to obtain an answer smoothly.
