  Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it should be noted that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and extends to the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof.

1. Outline of Embodiment In the game system of this embodiment, a player executes a game provided by a server using a mobile terminal. In the game system of the present embodiment, the server provides a game that is executed on each mobile terminal owned by each of a plurality of players.

  The game executed on each mobile terminal includes a battle event executed as a quest and an event that proceed according to the game scenario. A quest is generally called a search, a mission, or the like, and has a plurality of floors (stages) in each of a plurality of dungeons, and sequentially executes the processing of each floor. The processing of each floor includes a battle between a character possessed by the player and an enemy character (a non-player character or a character possessed by another player), granting a privilege such as a specific item to the player, and the like. The battle event is a so-called RAID battle in which a plurality of players cooperate to fight an enemy character (a so-called non-player character), and is an example of a battle game.

  A character is an example of a game medium. A game medium is electronic data used in a game, and includes, for example, a card, an item, a character, an avatar, and the like. The game medium is electronic data that can be acquired, held, used, managed, exchanged, combined, strengthened, sold, discarded, and / or gifted, etc. by the player as the game progresses. The usage mode of the game media is not limited to those specified in this specification. The player can grow the character and acquire items by executing the quest.

  In this embodiment, the server provides each of a plurality of players with a period event that is performed for a predetermined period. During the period event, a game predetermined in the period event is advanced. When the period event is performed for four days, the server divides the four days for which the period event is performed into period 1, period 2, period 3 and period 4, and every period 1, period 2, period 3 and period 4 Run the game. For example, the server performs the four days in which the period event is carried out for the period 1 from 10 pm on October 10 to 9:59 pm on the next day and from 10 pm on October 11 to 9:59 pm on the next day. The period 2 is divided into a period 3 from 10 pm on October 12 to 9:59 pm on the next day and a period 4 from 10 pm on October 13 to 9:59 pm on the next day. Hereinafter, the period 1, the period 2, the period 3, and the period 4 may be referred to as each period. The combination of the period 1 and the period 2, the period 2 and the period 3, or the period 3 and the period 4 is an example of the combination of the first period and the second period. It should be noted that the period of the period event may be a period longer than four days, in which case the fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day,...・ It becomes. Each divided period is not limited to one day (24 hours), and may be a period shorter or longer than one day.

  In the present embodiment, the server gives each player a score point by associating and storing a score point with each player in accordance with the progress of each player's game in each period. In the following, giving various points or various privileges to the player is an example of storing various points or various privileges in association with the player. The score point is an example of a first game point and a second game point, and is awarded to a player who has won an enemy character. Note that the performance points are not given to the player only when the enemy character is won. For example, when a player clears a quest that progresses according to a game scenario, the server 3 may be awarded to the player by storing the score points in association with the player. Each score point is used to determine the ranking of each player who participated in the game in each period. In addition, each performance point is the number of skills acquired by each player, the number of items, the number of characters or the amount of virtual currency, the increase value of each player's level, or other players who are friends with each player for each period. It may be calculated based on the number or the like.

  In each period, the server determines the ranking of each player in accordance with the score points given to each of the plurality of players according to the progress of the game. Next, in each period, the server gives rank points to each player by storing the rank points corresponding to the determined ranks of the respective players in association with the respective players. The rank in the first period is an example of the first rank, and the rank in the second period is an example of the second rank.

  Next, the server corrects the ranking point of each player awarded in each period according to the ranking determined in the period before the period. The server calculates a correction point corresponding to the ranking of each player determined in a period before the period, and adds a correction point to the ranking point, thereby calculating a correction ranking point in which the ranking point is corrected.

  And a server gives a privilege to each player by memorize | storing the privilege corresponding to each player's correction | amendment ranking point in each period in association with each player. The privilege is a game medium such as a character or an item, an experience value, a virtual currency, or a right to participate in an event or a game.

  As a result, the game system of the present embodiment can cause a player with a good game result in the previous period to expect a bonus to be added to the game result in the next period. It is possible to improve the willingness to continue. Therefore, the game system of the present embodiment can improve the motivation of the player who intends to participate in the game over a plurality of periods. Further, in the game system of the present embodiment, since the game result of the previous period does not directly affect the progress of the game of the next period, it is possible to give the player a sense of fairness in the progress of the game in each period. It becomes possible.

For example, a mobile phone (so-called “feature phone”), a mobile information terminal (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a mobile game machine, a mobile music player, a tablet terminal, a tablet A PC, a notebook PC, or the like may be used.

2.1. Configuration of Mobile Terminal 2 FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of the mobile terminal 2.

  The mobile terminal 2 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal storage unit 22, an operation unit 23, a display unit 24, and a terminal processing unit 25. The portable terminal 2 requests the server 3 to advance the game in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 23 (touch panel, button, etc.) by the player. In addition, the mobile terminal 2 receives display data related to the progress of the game from the server 3 and displays it.

  The terminal communication unit 21 includes a communication interface circuit including an antenna whose sensitivity band is a predetermined frequency band, and connects the mobile terminal 2 to the wireless communication network. The terminal communication unit 21 establishes a radio signal line by a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) method or the like with the base station 4 through a channel assigned by the base station 4, and communicates with the base station 4. Do. Then, the terminal communication unit 21 transmits the data supplied from the terminal processing unit 25 to the server 3 or the like. Further, the terminal communication unit 21 supplies data received from the server 3 or the like to the terminal processing unit 25. Note that the terminal communication unit 21 may perform wireless communication with a wireless communication method of the IEEE 802.11 standard with a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) access point (not shown).

  The terminal storage unit 22 includes, for example, a semiconductor memory device. The terminal storage unit 22 stores an operating system program, a driver program, an application program, data, and the like used for processing in the terminal processing unit 25. For example, the terminal storage unit 22 stores an input device driver program for controlling the operation unit 23, an output device driver program for controlling the display unit 24, and the like as driver programs. In addition, the terminal storage unit 22 stores, as an application program, a program that acquires and displays display data related to the progress of the game. The computer program is a terminal storage unit using a known setup program or the like from a computer-readable portable recording medium such as a CD-ROM (compact disk read only memory) or a DVD-ROM (digital versatile disk read only memory). 22 may be installed. The computer program may be installed in the terminal storage unit 22 from a specific server device or the like via wireless communication. Further, the terminal storage unit 22 stores, as data, a player ID that is identification information of the user of the mobile terminal 2, display data relating to the progress of the game, video data, image data, and the like. Further, the terminal storage unit 22 may temporarily store temporary data related to a predetermined process.

  The operation unit 23 may be any device as long as the operation of the mobile terminal 2 is possible, and is, for example, a touch panel, a key button, or the like. The player can input characters, numbers, symbols, and the like using the operation unit 23. When operated by the player, the operation unit 23 generates a signal corresponding to the operation.

The terminal processing unit 25 executes processing based on programs (operating system program, driver program, application program, etc.) stored in the terminal storage unit 22. Further, the terminal processing unit 25 can execute a plurality of programs (such as application programs) in parallel.

2.1.1. Functions of Terminal Processing Unit 25 FIGS. 3 and 4 are schematic diagrams for explaining an example of a ranking point and correction ranking point grant process in a game that is performed in a period event provided by the game system 1. In the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, 10 players A to J participate in the game executed by the game system 1.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the server 3 gives score points to each of the players A to J according to the progress of the game in the period 1 of the period event. Next, the server 3 determines the ranking of the players A to J in the period 1 according to the score points given to the players A to J. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the ranks of the players A to J in the period 1 are 1 to 10 respectively.

  Then, the server 3 gives ranking points corresponding to the determined rankings of the players A to J in the period 1 to the players A to J. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the server 3 gives 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 and 10 as ranking points to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh players. 4 points are awarded. The server 3 gives 3 points as ranking points to the 8th to 10th players.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the server 3 gives score points to each of the players A to J according to the progress of the game in the period 2. Next, the server 3 determines the ranking of the players A to J in the period 2 in accordance with the score points given to the players A to J. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the rank of player B is first, and the ranks of players A, D, C, E, H, F, J, G, and I are each 2-10.

  Next, the server 3 gives ranking points corresponding to the rankings of the players A to J in the period 2 to the players A to J.

  Next, the server 3 calculates correction points for correcting the ranking points given in the period 2 according to the ranking in the period 1. For example, when the ranking in period 1 is first, the server 3 calculates 200% of the ranking points in period 2 as correction points. Similarly, when the ranking determined in period 1 is second and third, the server 3 calculates 150% and 100% of the ranking points given in period 2 as correction points. Further, when the ranking determined in the period 1 is 4th to 6th, the server 3 calculates 50% of the ranking points given in the period 2 as correction points.

  Further, when the ranking determined in the period 1 is 7th to 10th, the server 3 calculates 0% of the ranking points given in the period 2 as a correction point. That is, when the ranking determined in period 1 is 7th to 10th, the correction point is 0 (zero).

  Next, the server 3 corrects the ranking points given in the period 2. The server 3 calculates the correction rank point by adding the correction point calculated in the period 2 to the rank point given in the period 2, and stores the calculated correction rank point in association with each player. The correction ranking point is given to each player.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the server 3 calculates a correction ranking point of 25 points by adding a correction point of 15 points to the ranking point of 10 points given to the player B, and gives it to the player B. Similarly, the server 3 calculates correction ranking points by adding correction points to the ranking points given to each player, and gives the calculated correction ranking points to each player.

  And the server 3 provides the privilege corresponding to the correction | amendment order point each provided to player AJ to player AJ. The server 3 gives a privilege with a higher value or rarity to the player as the player's correction ranking point is larger.

  Further, when the period in which the game proceeds after period 2 continues, the server 3 gives each player A to J a score in accordance with the progress of the game in each period after period 2, as in period 2. Points are assigned, the ranks of the players A to J in each period are determined according to the score points of the players A to J, and rank points corresponding to the ranks of the players A to J in each period are given to the players A to J. . Then, the server 3 calculates, for each of the players A to J, correction points according to the rank in the period immediately preceding each period, and adds the correction points to the rank points for each correction rank point calculated. It is given to the player.

  As described above, the server 3 calculates the correction ranking points in the specific period according to the ranking points given in the specific period and the ranking determined in the period before the specific period. It is possible to improve the motivation of the player who intends to participate in the game over a period of time. In addition, since a player who has a good game result in the previous period can expect a bonus to be added to the game result in the next period, the player's willingness to continue the game can be improved. Further, in the server 3 of the present embodiment, since the game result of the previous period does not directly affect the progress of the game of the next period, it is possible to give a fair feeling to the progress of the game in each period It becomes possible.

  5 and 6 are schematic diagrams for explaining an example of group classification processing in a game that is performed in a period event provided by the game system 1. In the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, 20 players A to T participate in the game executed by the game system 1. The server 3 classifies the 20 players A to T into two groups for each of a plurality of periods of the period event, and determines the ranking of each player in each group in each of the two groups. Thereby, since the game system 1 can change the other player with whom each player competes for ranking for each of a plurality of periods, it is possible to improve the willingness to continue the game for each player. Become.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the server 3 classifies the 20 players A to T into groups 1 and 2 each having 10 players at the start of the period 1. Note that the server 3 may classify each player into three or more groups in each period. In addition, the number of 10 players is an example of the number of affiliated players, but the number of affiliated players may be more or less than 10. The server 3 classifies the players A to T into the group 1 and the group 2 according to the points given to the players A to T in other events performed before this period event. Points given in other events are score points given to each player in accordance with the progress of the game in other events. The points given in other events may be ranking points corresponding to the rankings determined according to the performance points given to each player in other events.

  Next, the server 3 gives a score point to each of the players A to T according to the progress of the game in the period 1, and in each of the group 1 and the group 2 according to the score point given to the players A to T. Then, the ranking of the players A to T in the period 1 is determined. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the first place, the second place, the third place,..., The tenth place of the group 1 are the player B, the player D, the player A,. The second place, the third place,..., The tenth place are the player Q, the player K, the player N,.

  Next, as described with reference to FIG. 3, the server 3 gives ranking points corresponding to the rankings of the players A to T determined in the period 1 to the players A to T, respectively.

  Then, the server 3 reclassifies the players A to T into the group 1 and the group 2 according to the ranking points given to the players A to T in the period 1 at the start of the period 2. The server 3 arranges the players A to T in descending order of the ranking points given to the players A to T, and classifies the players A to T into the group 10 of the top 10 and the group 2 of the bottom 10.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the server 3 gives score points to each of the players A to T according to the progress of the game in the period 2. Next, the server 3 determines the ranking of the players A to T in the period 2 in each of the group 1 and the group 2 according to the score points given to the players A to T. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the first place, the second place, the third place,..., The tenth place of the group 1 are the player Q, the player N, the player B,. , 2nd, 3rd,..., 10th are respectively player J, player C, player R,.

  Next, as described with reference to FIG. 4, the server 3 gives correction ranking points to the players A to T. Next, for each player A to T, the server 3 adds classification points by adding the correction ranking points given to the players A to T in the period 2 to the ranking points given to the players A to T in the period 1. calculate. In the example shown in FIG. 6, for the player Q, 40 classification points obtained by adding 30 correction correction points in period 2 to 10 ranking points in period 1 are stored in association with each other. Classification points are given to the player Q.

  Then, the server 3 reclassifies the players A to T into the group 1 and the group 2 at the start of the period 3 according to the classification points given to the players A to T. The server 3 arranges the players A to T in descending order of the classification points given to the players A to T, and classifies the players A to T into the group 10 of the top 10 and the group 2 of the bottom 10.

  Further, when the period in which the game proceeds after period 3 continues, server 3 adds the correction rank points in each period and the correction rank points in the period immediately before each period in the same manner as in period 2. The value is calculated as a classification point in each period. The server 3 determines the classification points in the specific period as a total value (cumulative value) of the ranking points given in the period 1 and the correction ranking points given in all the periods from the period 2 to the specific period. Also good. Thereby, since the group classification reflecting the game result (score) in the past period in the period event can be performed, it is possible to classify the group by the more appropriate player strength. In this case, a predetermined coefficient may be set for the correction ranking point and the ranking point that are targets of calculation of the total value (cumulative value). For example, the server 3 sets a coefficient that reduces the accumulated points as the total value (cumulative value) as the correction ranking points and ranking points associated with the player become past. As a result, it is possible to classify the group that more appropriately reflects the strength of the current player.

  In this way, in the game system 1, since the other players with whom the player competes for ranking are changed for each of a plurality of periods, an event that does not get tired for each player is provided in each period, and the game is given to the player. It is possible to improve the willingness to continue. Also, according to the game result of each player in the previous period, competitors in the group in the next period can be expected to become other players in the game result close to each player, so in each period Competition becomes close and it becomes possible to improve each player's willingness to continue the game.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a main screen 700 displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 2.

  A main screen 700 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed when a button for participating in a period event is pressed on the home screen. Each screen described below is displayed based on display data received from the server 3. The home screen is displayed when an operation for starting a game or a transition to the home screen is performed by the player using the mobile terminal 2.

  On the main screen 700, a battle execution button 701, a privilege confirmation button 702, a game result 703 of a player, a ranking 704, a game result 705 for each group, and the like are displayed. The current period is a period including the time when the main screen 700 is displayed.

  When the battle execution button 701 is pressed, a battle game screen for executing the battle game is displayed, and the player can execute the battle game. When the privilege confirmation button 702 is pressed, a privilege confirmation screen for confirming the privilege granted to the player is displayed, and the player can receive each privilege. Details of each privilege will be described later.

  When the request received from the portable terminal 2 by the progress control unit 331 is not a battle execution request, the progress control unit 331 determines whether or not each period in the period event has ended (step S304). When the period has not ended (No at Step S304), the progress control unit 331 returns the process to Step S302 again.

  When the period is over (step S304—Yes), the rank determining unit 335 determines the rank of each player in each group (step S305). Next, the ranking point giving unit 336 gives ranking points corresponding to the ranking of each player to each player (step S306).

  Next, the correcting unit 337 determines whether or not the current period is a period in which the player has participated for the first time (step S307). When the current period is not the period in which the player has participated for the first time (step S307—No), the correction unit 337 corrects the ranking point of each player (step S308). When the current period is a period in which the player first participates (step S307—Yes), the process proceeds to step S310.

  Next, the accumulating unit 338 calculates the accumulated ranking points and classification points of each player (step S309). Next, the privilege granting unit 339 grants each privilege to each player (S310). Details of the privilege grant processing will be described later.

  Then, the progress control unit 331 determines whether or not all the periods in the period event have ended (step S311). When all the periods have not ended (step S311-No), the progress control unit 331 returns the process to step S301 again. When all the periods have ended (step S311-Yes), a series of steps is ended.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation flow of a battle process performed by the battle execution unit 334. The battle process shown in FIG. 18 is executed in step S303 in FIG.

  First, the battle execution unit 334 determines whether or not the player character has won in the battle between the player character and the enemy character (step S401). When the player character has won (step S401—Yes), the battle execution unit 334 gives a score point to the player (step S402). When the player character is defeated (step S401-No), the series of steps is terminated.

  Next, the battle execution unit 334 determines whether or not the current period is a period in which the player has participated for the first time (step S403). When the current period is not the period in which the player has participated for the first time (step S403-No), the battle execution unit 334 calculates accumulated score points (step S404). When the current period is a period in which the player first participates (step S403-Yes), the series of steps is ended.

  And the battle | competition execution part 334 calculates the group performance point of the group to which a player belongs (step S405), and complete | finishes a series of steps.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation flow of the privilege granting process by the privilege granting unit 339. The privilege grant process shown in FIG. 19 is executed in step S310 in FIG.

  First, the privilege granting unit 339 determines whether or not each group has won the opponent group based on the group score points of each group and the group score points of the opponent group of each group (step S501). When each group has not won (step S501-No), the process proceeds to step S503. When each group wins (step S501-Yes), the privilege grant part 339 gives a group victory privilege to the player contained in each group (step S502).

  Next, the privilege granting unit 339 grants a ranking privilege corresponding to the ranking of each player to each player (step S503). Next, the privilege granting unit 339 gives each player a cumulative ranking privilege corresponding to each player's cumulative ranking point (step S504). And the privilege provision part 339 gives each player the cumulative victory privilege corresponding to each player's cumulative score point (step S505). End a series of steps.

  As described above, since the server 3 can add a bonus to the game result in the next period of the player having a good game result in the previous period, the player's willingness to continue the game is improved. Is possible. Therefore, the motivation of the player who intends to participate in the game over a plurality of periods can be improved.

  The classification unit 333 may classify each player into a plurality of groups based on the event participation time of each player in addition to the classification point of each player. For example, the event participation time includes a participation event time zone or a day of the week. The event participation time zone is a time zone in which the player participates in the deadline event among the time zones obtained by dividing one day in the deadline event into a plurality of times. Further, the day of the week is a day of the week when the player is participating in the deadline event among any one day or a plurality of days from Sunday to Saturday. Hereinafter, a case where the event participation time is the participation event time zone will be described. The classification unit 333 sets the day in the deadline event as 0:00 am to 8:00 am, 8 am to 3 pm, 3 pm to 8 pm, 8 pm to pm Divide into 11:59 hours. Next, at the start of each period, the classification unit 333 sets a time zone in which the number of times each player has transmitted a battle execution request in the immediately preceding period as the event participation time zone for each player. Next, the classification unit 333 classifies each player for each event participation time zone based on each player's event participation time zone. Then, the classification unit 333 classifies each player included in each event participation time zone into a plurality of groups based on the classification points given to each player in each event participation time zone. Thereby, players who can participate in an event only in a fixed time zone (for example, at night) can belong to the same group. Therefore, it can be expected that the competitors in the group in the next period will be other players having a similar game play style, so that each player's willingness to continue the game can be improved.

  Further, the classification unit 333 classifies each player into a plurality of groups in descending order of classification points. However, for a player having a smaller classification point than other players, only the player and a non-player character having a smaller virtual point are included. You may make it comprise a group. In this case, the classification unit 333 includes a group in which only the players whose classification points are less than a predetermined value or players whose classification points are smaller than the average value of the classification points of all the players and non-player characters whose virtual points are small are included. Configure. As a result, players with low levels are classified into groups of non-player characters with low levels, so events can be advanced in groups with competitors that match their level, and the player's willingness to continue the game Can be prevented from being lost.

  In addition, when a player battles an enemy character in response to a battle participation request from another player included in the group to which the player belongs, the score points given to the player by winning the enemy character are given to other players. You may make it differ from the grade point given. In that case, the battle execution unit 334 makes the score points given to the player smaller than the score points given to other players. Thereby, it becomes possible to encourage each player to participate in the game spontaneously in the period event. Or the battle | competition execution part 334 makes the score point provided to a player larger than the score point provided to another player. Thereby, cooperation between players can be promoted, and exchange between players can be promoted.

  When a player plays an enemy character together with another specific player, the score points given to the player may be increased in accordance with the number of messages transmitted / received to / from another specific player. The message includes text information input by the player, a support message automatically transmitted by pressing a support button, and the like. As a result, communication between players can be promoted.

  Further, in addition to the rank 704 of each player in the group, the display data creation unit 332 specifies the player character image of each player in the group and the specific character selected as the representative character from the player characters possessed by each player in the group. Display data for displaying the main screen 700 displaying the image of the player character or the accumulated score points of each player in the group may be created. As a result, each player can check the information of other players in the group and participate in the event.

  Further, the virtual points stored in association with the non-player characters may be changed according to the progress of the game. For example, the virtual points of the non-player characters included in this group may be changed according to the average value of the cumulative score points of the players included in the group to which the non-player character belongs. As a result, non-player characters close to the level of each player can be included in the group, competition within the group becomes a close battle, and each player's willingness to continue the game can be improved.

  In addition, the correction unit 337 further adds the correction points in the specific period and the correction points calculated based on a predetermined number of periods before the specific period to the ranking points given to the player in the specific period. Thus, the ranking points given to the player in a specific period may be corrected. Thereby, the will of the player who intends to participate in a game over a plurality of periods can be further improved.

  Note that the server 3 may set a plurality of periods having overlapping time zones during a predetermined period in which the period event is performed. For example, the server 3 sets the period 2 to be held at a time before the time when the period 1 set during a predetermined period in which the period event is performed ends. In this case, the player plays the game in one of period 1 and period 2 in the overlapping time period of period 1 and period 2 (time period from the start time of period 2 to the end time of period 1). participate. Then, the classification unit 333 of the server 3 classifies the plurality of players into groups in the period 2 after the period 1 ends. As a result, in the time zone in which the period 1 and the period 2 overlap, the player participates in the game with a weight on either the game in the period 1 or the game in the period 2 in a state where the game result in the period 1 is unknown. Since it is possible to think about strategy, it is possible to provide a highly strategic game.

  The functions of the server processing unit 33 described above may be executed by the terminal processing unit 25 of the mobile terminal 2. In this case, if each table is stored in the terminal storage unit 22, it is not necessary to communicate with the server 3 each time processing is performed, and the above-described function can be realized only by the portable terminal 2. The game executed on the mobile terminal 2 may be a hybrid game in which each of the server 3 and the mobile terminal 2 takes part of the processing. In that case, for example, each screen related to the progress of the game is a web display displayed on the mobile terminal 2 based on display data generated by the server 3, and other menu screens and the like are installed in the mobile terminal 2. The native display is displayed by.

  Further, the game system 1 may be configured to include only a plurality of portable terminals 2 operated by each of a plurality of players. Each of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 performs wireless communication with another mobile terminal 2 by a wireless communication method of the IEEE 802.11 standard, and the plurality of mobile terminals 2 constitute an ad hoc network. In this case, a specific mobile terminal 2 of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 functions as a host, and executes each function of the server 3 described above. The mobile terminal 2 other than the specific mobile terminal 2 among the plurality of mobile terminals 2 communicates with the specific mobile terminal 2 that executes each function of the server 3, so that the game executed in the above-described period event is executed. Is done. The specific mobile terminal 2 that functions as a host executes both the functions of the server 3 and the functions of the mobile terminal 2.

  It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions, and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
