  Next, the operation of the game system in this embodiment will be described. First, a process for registering a character used in a game will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of processing related to character registration. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen display at the time of character registration. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which a player photographs a dog using the photographing means 13 of the terminal device 10 and the photographed dog (strictly, a dog image) appears as a character in the game. In this embodiment, a case where a photographed dog (strictly, an image of a dog) is made to appear in the game as a character will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an arbitrary subject (strictly, an image of the subject) can be used. It can appear in the game as a character.

  In order to register a character to be used in the game, when the player performs an operation of inputting a player name, a dog name, and a dog breed using the input unit 12 of the terminal device 10, the input unit 12 displays the player name (see FIG. 3). In the example shown, “owner”), the name of the dog (“dog name” in the example shown in FIG. 3), and the input data indicating the dog type (“dog type name” in the example shown in FIG. 3) are input to the terminal device 10 (Step S1). For example, an input screen as shown in FIG. 3A is displayed on the display means 11, and the contents of the input operation are reflected.

  Next, when the data input in step S1 is completed, the photographing unit 13 of the terminal device 10 is activated. Then, the photographing unit 13 photographs a subject (a dog in this example) according to the operation of the player, and generates photographed image data (step S2).

  Next, when the player performs a registration operation using the input unit 12 of the terminal device 10 in order to use the subject (dog in this example) photographed in step S2 as a character, the data transmission / reception unit 19 of the terminal device 10 Along with the character registration request, the input data input in step S1 and the captured image data generated in step S2 are transmitted to the server device 20 (step S3).

  For example, when a registration screen as shown in FIG. 3B is displayed on the display means 11 and an operation of touching a determination button (in this example, realized by a software key) is performed as a registration operation, character registration is performed. Requests etc. are sent.

  When the character registration request is received from the terminal device 10, the character generation means 21 of the server device 20 generates a character to appear in the game based on the input data and captured image data received together with the character registration request. Specifically, the character generation means 21 first generates a character card (specifically, character card image data) (step S4). The character card is realized by, for example, an image obtained by superimposing a frame image on a captured image (for example, see FIG. 3C).

  Next, the character generation means 21 uses the data indicating the dog type in the input data as attribute data, and based on the attribute data and a predetermined index (for example, a data table), the character ability data (character level and , Physical strength, instantaneous power, skill, charm, etc.). Then, the character generation means 21 associates the generated character card image data and ability data with the received input data (player name, dog name, dog breed) and stores them in the storage means 29 (step S5). . In this embodiment, the data indicating the breed is used as attribute data, and the ability data of the character is generated based on the attribute data and a predetermined index. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The character ability data may be generated based on arbitrary data such as, or may be generated uniformly with a predetermined initial value.

  Next, the character generation means 21 sends a character card (specifically, character card image data, character attribute data, character ability data, etc. together with the character registration completion notification. In addition, character attribute data, character capability data, and the like are included). Then, the display means 11 of the terminal device 10 displays the received character card (step S6). With the above processing, registration of characters used in the game is completed.

  Next, a description will be given of Osanpo production. In this game system, an effect of strolling a character can be executed. In addition, this sanpo production can acquire items used to grow the character and meet characters of other players.

  FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a process related to the walk effect. Moreover, FIG. 7 is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the screen display at the time of a walk production and item use. Hereinafter, when processing related to a plurality of terminal devices 10 is performed, the first terminal device 10 is referred to as a first terminal device 10, the second terminal device 10 is referred to as a second terminal device 10, The third terminal device 10 is referred to as a third terminal device 10, and the fourth terminal device 10 is referred to as a fourth terminal device 10. In the first terminal device 10, when the player A who uses the character A performs a start operation using the input means 12 in order to start the walk effect, the walk effect execution means 14 of the first terminal device 10 A display screen (for example, FIG. 7A) is displayed on the display means 11.

  Also, the hospitality effect execution means 14 transmits a hospitality effect start notification and player identification data (for example, a player name) for identifying the player to the server device 20 (step S11). In this embodiment, since only one character can be generated per player, the characters can be simultaneously identified by the player identification data, but a plurality of characters can be generated per player. In this case, character identification data for identifying a character may be used instead of the player identification data.

  The item granting unit 22 of the server device 20 executes a process of giving an item to the terminal device 10 (that is, a player or a character) that is executing the walk effect at any timing (step S12). For example, the item granting unit 22 transmits item data to the first terminal device 10 together with the item granting notification.

  When the first terminal device 10 receives the item data from the server device 20 together with the item grant notification, the first terminal device 10 stores the received item data in the storage unit 18. Further, the first terminal apparatus 10 displays the assigned item on the display unit 11 based on the received item data (see, for example, FIG. 7B).

  Next, when the player B who uses the character B performs a start operation using the input means 12 in the second terminal device 10 to start the sanpo effect, the sanpo effect execution means 14 of the second terminal device 10 is used. Causes the display means 11 to display a walk-on effect screen (for example, FIG. 7A).

  Also, the hospitality effect execution means 14 transmits a hospitality effect production start notification and player identification data to the server device 20 (step S13).

  The friend matching means 23 of the server device 20 performs a friend matching process on the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 that are executing the walk effect at an arbitrary timing (step S14). For example, the friend matching means 23 sends data related to each other's character (for example, character card image data and character Capability data, attribute data, etc.).

  In this embodiment, the other player's character can be registered as a friend by mutually approving with other players. When a friend is registered, data relating to the opponent character (for example, character card image data, ability data, attribute data, etc.) is stored in the storage means 18. With a friend-registered character (that is, a player), messages can be exchanged in a game or a dedicated bulletin board can be used, so that communication can be achieved. In addition, for example, a character registered as a friend (that is, a player) can challenge a game effect to be described later in a team. Friend matching creates an opportunity to meet other characters (that is, players) to meet each other, and promotes mutual friend registration.

  When the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 receive the friend matching notification, the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 receive the notification and receive data about the matched opponent player character (for example, character card image data, ability data, attribute data, etc. ) Is displayed on the display means 11. Then, the player confirms the content displayed on the display means 11, when approving friend matching, performs an approval operation using the input means 12, and when rejecting, rejects using the input means 12. Perform the operation.

  When the player performs an approval operation, the sanpo production execution means 14 of the terminal device 10 transmits an approval notification to the server device 20 (steps S15 and S16).

  When the server device 20 receives the acceptance notification from both the terminal devices 10 that have transmitted the friend matching notification, the server device 20 executes a process of giving the opponent player's character card (step S17). Specifically, the server device 20 transmits data relating to each other's character card to the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10. The first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 perform friend registration by causing the storage unit 18 to store the received data relating to the character card of the opponent player.

  After that, when it is time to end the sanpo effect (or when the player performs an operation to end the sanpo effect), the terminal device 10 ends the screen display based on the sanpo effect, and the server device 20 A walk-in effect end notification and player identification data are transmitted (steps S18 and S19).

  In this embodiment, the server device 20 is configured to include the item granting unit 22, but may be configured to be included in the terminal device 10, for example. In this case, in the terminal device 10, during the execution of the walk effect, the presence / absence of item grant and the type of item to be given may be determined and given. Further, in this case, each time the item data is newly stored in the storage means 18 in the terminal device 10 in order to prevent the item from being abnormally given due to illegal alteration of the program, etc., the server device 20 may be notified of this.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process related to the walk effect executed by the server device 20. When the server device 20 receives the sanpo effect start notification from the terminal device 10 (Y in step S101), the server device 20 specifies the player in the storage means 29 based on the player identification data received at the same time, and is associated with the specified player. In addition, a flag indicating that the sanpo production is being executed is set.

  Next, the item granting unit 22 of the server device 20 executes a process of selecting an item to be given to the player in which the flag for the sanpo effect is set in the storage unit 29 at any timing (step S102). ). For example, the item granting means 22 determines the presence / absence of item grant and the type of item to be given to the player for which the flag for the sanpo effect is set for each predetermined period. And the item provision means 22 transmits item data with the item provision notification to the terminal device 10 based on the determination result (step S103).

  In this embodiment, a plurality of types of items are provided, each having a different advantage. For example, a training card, which will be described later, is provided as an item, but there are things that improve the character's ability a little and things that greatly improve. It can be said that there is. Also, different abilities improve depending on the type of item.

  In step S102, when determining the presence / absence of item grant and the type of item to be given, it may be decided at random, or at a different rate based on the character's attribute data and ability data. It may be. Specifically, in the case of a specific dog breed, the rate at which a specific item is given is increased, or when the character level is low, the rate at which an item with low advantage is given is increased. Also good.

  In addition, for example, when the terminal device 10 includes a time data means or a position data acquisition means using GPS, at a different rate based on the date and time when the sanpo production is started or the position of the terminal device 10. You may make it determine the presence or absence of an item provision, and the kind of item in the case of provision. Specifically, the terminal device 10 is configured to transmit date and time data and position data together with the sanpo production start notification. When it is determined that the terminal device 10 is at a specific date and time or a specific position, the ratio of items to be given is You may make it high, or you may make it the ratio that an advantageous item is provided becomes high. In addition, for example, it is configured to transmit position data from the terminal device 10 every predetermined period, and when it is determined that the user has moved a predetermined distance or more from the position of the start of the sanpo effect, it is determined to give the item. Alternatively, when it is determined that a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the walk production based on the date and time data, it may be determined that the item is to be assigned.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it is configured so that an item is given during the sanpo production, but it may be configured so that benefits such as gold, decoration parts, and experience values, which will be described later, are given. .

  Next, the friend matching means 23 of the server device 20 executes the friend matching process for the two players in the storage means 29 for which the flag indicating that the sanpo production is in progress is set (step S104). . For example, the friend matching means 23 provides a friend matching notification to two players (that is, the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10) for which the flag for the sanpo effect is set every predetermined period, Send data about each other's characters.

  When the server device 20 receives the acceptance notification from both the terminal devices 10 that have transmitted the friend matching notification (Y in step S106), the server device 20 executes a process of assigning the opponent player's character card (step S107). Specifically, the server device 20 transmits data relating to each other's character card to the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10.

  Further, when the server apparatus 20 receives the sanpo production end notification, the server device 20 identifies the player in the storage means 29 based on the received player knowledge data, and resets the sanpo production in-progress flag associated with the identified player. (Y in step S108).

  In this embodiment, predetermined bonuses (items, gold, decoration parts, experience points, etc.) can be acquired by executing the sanpo production, and friends of other matched players can be registered with each other. It is configured to be able to. With a friend-registered character (that is, a player), messages can be exchanged in a game or a dedicated bulletin board can be used, so that communication can be achieved. Further, for example, a character registered as a friend (that is, a player) can challenge a competition effect described later in a team. By comprising in this way, the opportunity to meet and match with other characters (namely, player) can be created, and it can accelerate | stimulate mutually performing friend registration and exchange.

  FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of processing related to item use. In the terminal device 10, when the player performs an item display operation using the input unit 12 in order to display the item list, the item use unit 16 of the terminal device 10 is based on the item data stored in the storage unit 18. Then, the item list is displayed on the display means 11. And when a player performs item use operation using the input means 12 in order to use any item, the item use means 16 of the terminal device 10 can specify the item to be used with respect to the server apparatus 20. The player identification data is transmitted together with a notification of item use (step S21). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7C, a training card that improves character ability data is used as an item.

  When the capability data update unit 28 of the server device 20 receives the item use notification, it specifies the player in the storage unit 29 based on the player identification data received at the same time. Then, the ability data update unit 28 updates the ability data of the character used by the specified player according to the item specified by the item use notification (step S22) and stores it in the storage unit 29 (step S23). In addition, the capability data update unit 28 transmits the updated capability data to the terminal device 10.

  When receiving the updated ability data, the terminal device 10 displays the character card on the display means 11 based on the updated ability data (step S24). Further, the terminal device 10 stores the updated capability data in the storage unit 18 and deletes the item data of the item specified in step S21 from the storage unit 18.

  In this embodiment, the server device 20 is configured to include the capability data update unit 28, but may be configured to be included in the terminal device 10, for example. In this case, the terminal device 10 updates the ability data of the character and notifies the server apparatus 20 of the updated ability data. Further, for example, the ability data update unit 28 may change the design of the character card (for example, change the frame image) when the improved ability of the character reaches a predetermined value.

  In this embodiment, by using items, the character can be changed (specifically, the ability of the character can be improved or the design of the character card can be changed). . By comprising in this way, while being able to enjoy the change of a character, the competition production mentioned later can be advanced advantageously and an interest can be improved.

  Next, the competition production will be described. In this game system, it is possible to execute an effect of competing between the player's character and another player's character. Moreover, a privilege can be acquired by this competition production. In this embodiment, gold used for acquiring decoration parts as a privilege can be acquired.

  FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a process related to a competition effect. Moreover, FIG. 10 is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the screen display at the time of competition production. In the first terminal device 10, when the player A performs a start operation using the input means 12 in order to start the game effect, the game effect execution means 15 of the first terminal device 10 displays the game effect display screen. 11 is displayed.

  Moreover, the competition effect execution means 15 of the 1st terminal device 10 transmits a competition effect start notification and player identification data (step S31).

  Next, when the player B performs a start operation using the input means 12 in the second terminal device 10 to start the competition effect, the competition effect executing means 15 of the second terminal device 10 displays the competition effect screen. It is displayed on the display means 11.

  Moreover, the competition effect execution means 15 of the 2nd terminal device 10 transmits a competition effect start notification and player identification data (step S32).

  The competitor matching means 24 of the server device 20 performs an opponent matching process on the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 that have transmitted the competition effect start notification (step S33). For example, the competitor matching unit 24 transmits data related to each other's character together with the competitor matching notification to the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 that have transmitted the competition effect start notification.

  In this embodiment, the matched players (that is, the characters) can compete with each other when both players who have received the competition matching notification approve each other.

  When the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 receive the opponent matching notification, the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 display data regarding the matched opponent player character on the display means 11 together with the notification received (for example, FIG. 10 ( A)). Then, the player confirms the content displayed on the display means 11, when approving the opponent matching, performs an approval operation using the input means 12, and when rejecting, the input means 12 is used. Reject operation is performed.

  When the player performs an approval operation, the game performance executing means 15 of the terminal device 10 transmits an approval notification to the server device 20 (steps S34 and S35).

  The competition matching means 24 of the server apparatus 20 will transmit the start instruction | indication of a competition effect, if the notification of consent is received from both the terminal devices 10 which transmitted the competition matching notification (step S36).

  The first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 start the competition effect when receiving the start instruction of the competition effect. For example, the competition effect execution means 15 causes the display means 11 to display a screen display for competition effects.

  When a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the competition presentation, the competition result determination means 25 of the server device 20 determines the competition result (that is, win / loss) in the competition presentation based on the attribute data and ability data of the characters used by both players. To do. And the competition result determination means 25 transmits the competition result notification which shows the determined competition result to the 1st terminal device 10 and the 2nd terminal device 10 (step S39).

  Upon receiving the competition result notification, the first terminal apparatus 10 and the second terminal apparatus 10 each display a screen display indicating the competition result on the display means 11 (see, for example, FIG. 10B), and finish the competition effect. (Steps S40 and S41).

  Further, the gold granting means 26 of the server device 20 executes a process of granting gold to the player who has won the competition (step S42). Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 8, since the character of the player B has won, the gold granting means 26 of the server device 20 indicates the number of gold to be given to the second terminal device 10. Send data. Further, the second terminal device 10 stores the received gold data in the storage unit 18.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process related to a competition effect executed by the server device 20. When the server device 20 receives the competition effect start notification from the terminal device 10 (Y in step S201), the server device 20 identifies the player in the storage means 29 based on the simultaneously received player identification data, and is associated with the identified player. Set an opponent matching flag to indicate that an opponent is being matched.

  Next, the competitor matching means 24 of the server device 20 matches the two players in the storage means 29 that are set to match the opponent as competitors (step S202). Next, the opponent matching means 24 transmits the data relating to each other's characters to the two players (specifically, the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10) together with the opponent matching notification ( Step S203).

  In step S202, when matching a competitor, it may be determined randomly, or may be determined based on character attribute data or ability data. For example, it may be matched with a character having a similar level, or may be matched with a character of the same dog breed (or dog size). It should be noted that although the rate of matching with characters of the same dog type (or dog size) is high, it may be matched with characters of other dog types (or dog sizes) at a low rate. Further, for example, matching may be performed based on the past game performance history so as not to be the same opponent.

  In addition, for example, when the terminal device 10 includes position data acquisition means, the partner to be matched may be determined based on the position of the terminal device 10 when the competition effect is started. Specifically, the terminal device 10 may be configured to transmit the position data together with the competition effect start notification so that the rate of matching with the opponent at a close position may be increased.

  And the competition partner matching means 24 of the server apparatus 20 will transmit a competition production start notification, if a consent notification is received from both the terminal devices 10 which transmitted the competition matching notification (step S205). At this time, the competitor matching unit 24 resets the competitor matching flag in the storage unit 29 associated with both players.

  Next, the competition result determination means 25 of the server device 20 determines the competition result (that is, victory or defeat) in the competition effect (step S206). In step S206, the competition result determination means 25 determines a competition result (that is, win / loss) based on, for example, ability data and attribute data of the character being used. Specifically, using the character data and a predetermined index, the superiority and inferiority of both characters may be digitized and compared, and the competition result (that is, victory or defeat) may be determined based on the numerical difference as it is. Based on the calculated numerical value, a lottery may be performed to determine the competition result (that is, win / loss). For example, when character A and character B are digitized by using a predetermined index and the calculated character A is 70 points and character B is 30 points, the character A is determined to be a victory. Alternatively, a lottery may be performed in which the character A is determined to win at a rate of 70% and the character B is determined to win at a rate of 30%. By doing in this way, the competition result can be given unexpectedness.

  Next, the competition result determination unit 25 of the server device 20 transmits a competition result notification indicating the determined competition result to the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10 (step S207).

  Next, the gold granting means 26 of the server device 20 transmits gold data indicating the number of gold to be granted to the winning player (specifically, to any one of the terminal devices 10) (step S208). ).

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it is configured so that gold is awarded when winning in a competition effect, but it may be configured so that items and decoration parts are given. Further, for example, when a competition effect is executed, an experience value indicating the degree of growth of the character is given according to the content of the game and the attributes and abilities of the opponent character who competed, and when the experience value reaches a predetermined value, Or the character card design may change (for example, the frame image of the character card may change).

  Moreover, you may enable it to register the partner matched as a competition partner at the time of completion | finish of a competition production. For example, the server device 20 may execute the processes of steps S105 to S107 shown in FIG. 5 after the process of step S208.

  In this way, by performing a competition effect that competes with the characters of other players, and by giving predetermined benefits (gold, items, decoration parts, experience points, etc.) to the winning player, You can have a strong interest in competing with characters and growing your own characters, and you can improve your interest.

  Next, character card decoration will be described. In this game system, a decoration part can be acquired according to the number of gold possessed by the player (specifically, gold data stored in the storage means 18), and a character can be obtained using this decoration part. You can decorate the card. In addition, by decorating the character card, the ability of the character can be improved.

  FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of processing related to character card decoration. When the player A performs a list request operation using the input unit 12 in order to view the decoration parts list in the terminal device 10, the decoration unit 17 of the terminal device 10 transmits a decoration parts list request (step S51). ).

  The decoration part providing unit 27 of the server device 20 transmits the decoration part list data to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the decoration parts list request (step S52).

  The terminal device 10 that has received the decoration part list data causes the display unit 11 to display the decoration part list based on the received list data. Then, when the player who has confirmed the list of decoration parts performs a decoration part acquisition operation using the input unit 12 in order to select and acquire one of the decoration parts, the decoration unit 17 of the terminal device 10 selects A decoration part acquisition request for requesting acquisition of the decoration parts is transmitted (step S53).

  The decoration part attaching unit 27 of the server device 20 executes a process of attaching a decoration part to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the decoration part acquisition request (step S54). Specifically, the decoration part providing unit 27 transmits the decoration part data specified by the decoration part acquisition request to the terminal device 10.

  The decoration unit 17 of the terminal device 10 stores the received decoration part data in the storage unit 18. Further, the decoration means 17 updates the gold data stored in the storage means 18 based on the received decoration part data (step S55).

  In this embodiment, the decoration parts can be acquired according to the number of gold possessed by the player (specifically, the gold data stored in the storage means 18). That is, the player can acquire decoration parts in exchange for the gold he possesses. Further, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of decoration parts are provided, and the number of gold necessary for acquisition differs depending on the type of decoration parts. Accordingly, the decoration means 17 updates the gold data in step S55 so that the gold number is subtracted according to the acquired decoration part. In step S53, before sending the decoration part acquisition request, the number of gold necessary to acquire the selected decoration part is compared with the number of gold possessed by the player to obtain the required number of gold. If not, a message indicating that may be displayed on the display means 11 so that the subsequent processing is not executed.

  The player can decorate the character card using the decoration parts possessed (specifically, the gold data stored in the storage means 18). For example, in order to decorate a character card, when the player performs an operation of placing a decoration part using the input means 12, the decoration means 17 selects one of the stored decoration parts according to the operation of the player, A decoration setting process for placing the selected decoration part on the character card is executed (step S56). In step S56, the decoration means 17 can arrange the decoration parts on the character card by enlarging, reducing, or rotating the decoration parts according to the operation of the player.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of decoration of a character card. In this embodiment, the decoration parts shown in FIG. 12B can be arranged on the character card that is not decorated as shown in FIG. Further, by decorating the decoration parts by enlarging, reducing, or rotating them and placing them on the character card, the character card can be decorated as shown in FIG.

  When the placement operation of the decoration parts is completed and the player performs the placement completion operation using the input means 12, the decoration means 17 performs player identification together with a decoration setting notification capable of specifying the placement state of the decoration parts according to the player's operation. Data is transmitted to the server device 20 (step S57).

  Upon receiving the decoration setting notification, the ability data updating means 28 of the server device 20 identifies the player in the storage means 29 based on the player identification data received at the same time, and the ability data of the identified player character is stored in the decoration part. It is updated according to the arrangement state (step S58) and stored in the storage means 29 (step S59). In addition, the capability data update unit 28 transmits the updated capability data to the terminal device 10. In step S58, for example, the ability addition value determined for each decoration part is updated so as to be reflected in the ability data. Further, for example, the ability addition value reflected in the ability data may be changed according to the position where the decoration part is arranged and the state (magnification / reduction degree, rotation angle, etc.).

  When receiving the updated ability data, the terminal device 10 displays the character card on which the decoration parts are arranged on the display means 11 based on the updated ability data (step S60).

  Thus, in this embodiment, the character card can be decorated. By comprising in this way, while being able to enjoy the change of a character, a competition effect can be advanced advantageously by improving the capability of a character, and an interest can be improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the arrangement of the decoration parts is completed, the decorated character card is displayed even when another player refers to the character card. For example, in step S59, the decoration parts are arranged and the ability data is updated with respect to another player who has registered the character whose ability data has been updated as a friend (that is, given a character card). Data relating to the character card may be transmitted, updated and stored. By being configured in this way, the decorated character card can be seen with other players, and the enjoyment of decoration can be shared with other players. In this embodiment, since a photographed dog or the like (strictly, an image of a dog or the like) can be used as a game character, resistance and obstacles when the character is disclosed to other users can be reduced. it can.

  Next, a modified example of the competition effect will be described. In this embodiment, the case where the player performs the game performance on a one-to-one basis has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. .

  FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of processing related to a competition effect (modification). In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, the first terminal device 10 used by the player A and the first terminal device 20 used by the player B form a team, the third terminal device 10 used by the player C, and the fourth terminal used by the player D. The case of playing a team with the device 20 is shown.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, for example, the first terminal device 10 sends a team game effect start request for designating a player B (that is, a character B) registered as a friend as a member of the team in accordance with the operation of the player A. 20 (step S71). Then, the server device 20 transmits a team matching notification that notifies the second terminal device 10 that a game with the player A (that is, the character A) is performed (step S72).

  When the team matching notification is received, the competition effect executing means 15 of the second terminal device 10 causes the display means 11 to display a screen display to that effect. Then, when the player B uses the input unit 12 to perform a consent operation for accepting a game with the player A (that is, the character A), the competition effect executing unit 15 of the second terminal device 10 In accordance with the operation B, a consent notice is transmitted to the server device 20 (step S73).

  In addition, for example, the third terminal device 10 transmits a team competition effect start request that designates the player D (that is, the character D) registered as a friend as a member of the team to the server device 20 in accordance with the operation of the player C ( Step S74). Then, the server apparatus 20 transmits a team matching notification that notifies the fourth terminal apparatus 10 that a game with the player C (that is, the character C) is performed (step S75).

  When the team matching notification is received, the competition effect executing means 15 of the fourth terminal device 10 causes the display means 11 to display a screen display to that effect. Then, when the player D uses the input means 12 to perform an approval operation for accepting a game with the player C (that is, the character C), the game effect executing means 15 of the fourth terminal device 10 In accordance with the operation D, a notification of consent is transmitted to the server device 20 (step S76).

  Next, the competitor matching unit 24 of the server device 20 executes a team competitor matching process (step S77). For example, the competitor matching means 24 transmits a team competition production start request, and matches teams that have obtained consent to perform a competition with the team. Specifically, a team composed of player A (that is, character A) and player B (that is, character B) is matched with a team composed of player C (that is, character C) and player D (that is, character D). Then, the opponent matching means 24 is for the players A and B and the players C and D (that is, the first terminal device 10 and the second terminal device 10, the third terminal device 10 and the fourth terminal device). 10), data on each other's character is transmitted together with the team competitor matching notification.

  Then, the teams that have received the team competition matching notification approve each other, so that the matched teams can compete. Hereinafter, the process after step S33 of the process regarding the competition effect shown in FIG. 8 is performed. In addition, the victory or defeat of team competition may be determined by simply calculating the ability data of the characters that make up the team and calculating the ability of the team and comparing them, or by combining the characters that make up the team May be determined by calculating the ability of the team in consideration of the above and comparing them. For example, teams composed of characters having the same attributes may be given points when calculating the ability of the team. Also, when matching with the opponent team (or a single opponent character), matching may be performed between the teams having close abilities (or the team's ability and the single character's abilities being close).

  In this way, by configuring the team with the characters of other players and challenging the competition with the team, it is possible to obtain a variety of competition effects and gain the benefits of registering friends, Interest can be improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, the server device 20 automatically matches the competitor when executing the competition effect, but the player may be able to specify the competitor. For example, in step S31 of FIG. 8, competition opponent designation data for designating the player B character registered as a friend is transmitted together with the competition presentation start request and player identification data of the first terminal device 10. Then, the competitor matching means 24 of the server device 20 transmits an opponent matching notification to the player B (specifically, the second terminal device 10) based on the competitor designation data. And if the consent notification is received from the 2nd terminal device 10, the competition matching means 24 of the server apparatus 20 will transmit a competition production start notification with respect to both the terminal devices 10. FIG.

  Further, in this embodiment, when performing the competition effect, the consent of all the players participating in the competition is required, but not limited to this, only the consent of some players may be required. . In other words, it may be possible to execute the competition effect without obtaining the consent of the competitor.

  FIG. 14 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of processing related to a competition effect (modification). With reference to FIG. 14, the example which performs the competition production which requires only consent of a part of player is demonstrated.

  In the example of FIG. 14, when the player A who uses the character A performs a start operation using the input unit 12 in order to start the game effect in the first terminal device 10, the game effect of the first terminal device 10. The execution means 15 causes the display means 11 to display a competition effect screen.

  Moreover, the competition effect execution means 15 of the 1st terminal device 10 transmits a competition effect start notification and player identification data (step S81).

  The competitor matching means 24 of the server device 20 performs an opponent matching process on the first terminal device 10 that has transmitted the competition effect start notification (step S82). Here, the opponent matching means 24 determines an opponent character to compete with the character A of the player A regardless of whether or not a competition effect start request is transmitted from the opponent character side, and the first terminal device 10 Then, data on the determined opponent character is transmitted together with the competition matching notification. In this example, the character B used by the player B possessing the second terminal device 10 is determined as the opponent character. However, according to the ability data and attribute data of the character A, a one-to-multiple You may decide to match.

  When receiving the competition matching notification, the first terminal device 10 displays the data related to the matched opponent character on the display means 11 together with the notification (for example, see FIG. 10A). Then, the player confirms the content displayed on the display means 11, when approving the opponent matching, performs an approval operation using the input means 12, and when rejecting, the input means 12 is used. Reject operation is performed.

  When the player performs an approval operation, the competition effect executing means 15 of the terminal device 10 transmits an approval notification to the server device 20 (step S83).

  When the competition matching means 24 of the server device 20 receives the acceptance notification from the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the competition matching notification, the competition matching means 24 transmits an instruction to start the competition production (step S84).

  When receiving the start instruction for the competition effect, the first terminal device 10 starts the competition effect (step S85). For example, the competition effect execution means 15 causes the display means 11 to display a screen display for competition effects.

  When a predetermined period elapses after the start of the game production, the game result determination unit 25 of the server device 20 determines the game result (that is, victory or defeat) in the game production based on the attribute data and ability data of both characters. And the competition result determination means 25 transmits the competition result notification which shows the determined competition result to the 1st terminal device 10 (step S86). In addition, the competition result determining unit 25 stores the data indicating the competition result and the character A and the character B (that is, player identification data) participating in the competition in the storage unit 29 in association with each other.

  When receiving the competition result notification, the first terminal device 10 displays a screen display indicating the competition result on the display means 11 (see, for example, FIG. 10B), and ends the competition effect (step S87). The gold granting means 26 of the server device 20 executes a process of granting gold to the player A (that is, the first terminal device 10) when the character A wins the competition.

  When the player B who uses the character B performs a reference operation using the input unit 12 in order to refer to the competition history of the character B, the second terminal device 10 makes a competition history to the server device 20. The player identification data is transmitted together with the reference request (step S88).

  Upon receiving the competition history reference request, the server device 20 extracts data indicating the competition result associated with the player identification data (that is, the character B) from the storage unit 29 based on the simultaneously received player identification data. And the server apparatus 20 transmits the competition log | history notification containing the data which show the extracted competition result to the 2nd terminal device 10 (step S89).

  In addition, after notifying the competition history notification, the gold granting means 26 of the server device 20 is the competition result of the competition effect that the player B does not voluntarily execute (that is, the character B is automatically matched as the opponent character). Accordingly, a process of giving gold to the player B (that is, the second terminal device 10) may be executed. In this case, you may make it the gold | metal | money provided be different by the case where a competition effect is performed voluntarily and the case where a competition effect is not performed voluntarily. For example, in the case where the game performance is voluntarily performed, the willingness to participate actively in the game can be given by increasing the amount of gold to be given.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when a competition effect is executed, only the consent of one player is required, so that the competition effect is executed regardless of whether or not the opponent player is playing. And the frequency at which matching is established (that is, the competition effect is executed) can be increased. In addition, the opponent player (that is, a player who does not voluntarily perform the game performance) can make the character participate in the game without performing an approval operation each time (or not playing), and is bothersome. It is reduced. Further, even if the player participates in the competition without performing the approval operation, the competition history is stored in the server device 20 and can be referred to. Therefore, the situation can be grasped as appropriate, and the character can enjoy the growth. .

  Note that the function for automatically establishing matching (that is, matching is established without the need for an acceptance operation by the opponent player) is not limited to the competitor matching process, and a series of friend matching processes shown in FIG. You may apply to the series of team matching processes shown. Further, whether or not the player is allowed to automatically establish matching as an opponent player may be set individually in the competition matching process, the friend matching process, and the team matching process. In this case, the server device 20 automatically establishes matching only for the players that are set to be permitted. In principle, some of the opponent matching process, friend matching process and team matching process are automatically established, and the others are not automatically matched. May be.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it is configured so that items, gold, and decoration parts can be acquired by executing a walk and a game production. For example, a billing unit for actually billing is provided. It may be configured so that items, gold, and decoration parts can be acquired in exchange for being charged by the charging means.

  In this embodiment, no upper limit is set for the number of items, gold, and decoration parts, but an upper limit may be set. Further, one player may be able to hold a plurality of characters. Then, the upper limit of the number of possessions (the number of holdings) may be increased in exchange for being charged by the charging means, or may be increased by using a specific item.

  In this embodiment, an example of using a training card as an item has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the training card can be used during the performance of the competition. An item to bring may be provided.

  In this embodiment, the character is made to appear in the game using the photographed image photographed by the photographing means 13, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the character is made to appear in the game using the already-stored photographed image.
