[Details of the embodiment of the present invention]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of a league game system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The league game system 100 includes at least a processor 102, a storage 104, an input / output interface 106, and a communication interface 108. The league game system 100 can be realized as a server such as a personal computer or a game server, for example. The storage 104 stores at least an operating system, a league game program, and various data used for the league game, or a database for storing them. The operating system is a computer program for controlling the overall operation of the league game system 100. The league game program is a computer program for realizing each function of the league game described later by the league game system 100. The storage 104 can also temporarily or permanently store data generated by the operation of the league game system 100. Specific examples of the storage 104 include a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a hard disk, a flash memory, and an optical disk.

  The processor 102 is configured to read a program stored in the storage 104 and execute processing according to the program. When the processor 102 executes the league game program stored in the storage 104, each function of the league game system described later is realized. The processor 102 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

  The input / output interface 106 is configured to receive an input for managing the league game system 100 from an operator of the league game system 100 and to generate an output such as a display for the operator. Specific examples of the input / output interface 106 include a keyboard, a touch pad, a mouse, a display, and a printer.

  The communication interface 108 is a network interface for communicating with many user terminals 120-1 to 120-n via the network 110. For example, the league game system 100 can send and receive various data for use in the league game between various user terminals connected to the network 110 using the communication interface 108.

  The user terminals 120-1 to 120-n can be, for example, personal computers, tablet computers, mobile phones such as smartphones, game devices, and the like. The user terminal can also include an input device and an output device such as a head mounted display.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the league game system 100, which is implemented by a computer program executed by the computer hardware of FIG. The league game system 100 includes a league management unit 200, a group management unit 202, a battle management unit 204, and an inter-league movement management unit 206, as shown. The battle management unit 204 includes an opponent candidate selection unit 240, a battle processing unit 242, and a battle evaluation unit 244.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, an outline of the overall operation of the league game system 100 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. First, in step 300, the league management unit 200 organizes a plurality of leagues for a league game (also called a round-robin game), and performs member management including user allocation to each league hierarchy. Next, in step 302, the group management unit 202 organizes a group of users who are members in order to fight a league game in each league tier in each of the leagues in the plurality of tiers. Next, in step 304, the battle management unit 204 manages the battle between users, and for this purpose, the opponent candidate selection unit 240 selects and presents the opponent candidate to the user, and the battle processing unit 242 selects the selection. The battle between the opponent and the user is processed, and the battle evaluation unit 244 evaluates the result of the battle. In step 306, the inter-league movement management unit 206 performs the promotion process, the demotion process, and the remaining inter-league movement process according to the result of the battle between the users. The promotion to the higher league, the relegation to the lower league when there is a lower league, and the remaining in the league are determined.

  Next, one specific example of details of step 300 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. First, in step 400, the league management unit 200 forms a plurality of leagues for a league match, as shown in FIG. The league hierarchy example shown in FIG. 5 is a four-tiered league composed of leagues A, B, C, and D, and is divided into a hierarchy from the lowest league D to the highest league A. For example, league D may be a municipal league, league C may be a prefectural league, league B may be a local league such as the Kanto league, and league A may be a national league. In the example shown in the figure, there are four hierarchies, but more or fewer hierarchies can be used. The league of each hierarchy organized as described above is assigned and identified with a corresponding league hierarchy point. For example, league hierarchy points 1, 2, 3, and 4 can be assigned to leagues A, B, C, and D, respectively.

  Next, in step 402, as shown in FIG. 5, it is determined whether there is a new participant in this league match, or whether there are promoters, relegators, and remnants in each league hierarchy. If NO, loop and wait. In the case of YES, in the next step 404, new participants, promoters, demotes, and remnants are allocated to the corresponding leagues based on the league hierarchy points. The new player's league level points can be assigned to the lowest league by assigning league level points 1 as a default. However, based on the user's skill (skill level) in other games, it can be assigned to a higher league. In this way, when all users including new participants have been assigned to the corresponding league hierarchy, the process returns to step 402 and waits until new participants, promoters, demotions, and residuals appear.

  Next, one specific example of the details of step 302 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. First, in step 600, the group management unit 202 determines whether there are users who are not divided into groups in the leagues of each hierarchy. If NO, loop and wait. In the case of YES, in the next step 602, the users who have participated in the league game are grouped.

  At the beginning of the formation of the league, all the participants are not yet grouped. Therefore, the participating users are grouped according to the user level, and as shown in FIG. A plurality of groups 1 to n are organized. Thereby, the user in each group in each league hierarchy fights the league game of each league hierarchy. As the user level, information included in the user attribute can be used. The user attributes include a user rank representing a skill (skill level) in the game, a team strength of a team (for example, a soccer team) possessed by the user, and a battle record. Thereby, it is possible to include users having relatively close levels in the group. In addition, a certain number (for example, twelve) users are included as members of each group, but the number of members is arbitrary, and can be larger or smaller. In this case, the surplus participants due to grouping are kept waiting until a certain number of participants appear and reach a certain number. On the other hand, the number of members of this group can be slightly varied. For example, an increase of 1 to 2 people can be recognized, and the number of members can be in the range of 13 to 14 people. In this case, the surplus participants can be incorporated into already organized groups.

  Further, the number of groups in each league hierarchy is determined depending on the number of members in each league hierarchy and the above-mentioned set number of members in group. It should be noted that the number of groups in the top league may be only one group with a variable number of members in the group, or two or more groups may be organized. When a plurality of groups are organized in the top league, winning in the top league is limited to a specific group in the top league.

  On the other hand, after the league is formed and the league game is started, a promoted person or a demoted person appears by a battle in the group (see step 404 in FIG. 4). In the illustrated example of FIG. 7B, the league match between Group 1 and Group 3 ends, and there are promoters, demotions, and remnants who remain in the same league, and the group is released ( (Shown by a dotted line). Also shown are the promoters from the lower league (when there is a lower league), relegates from the higher league (when there is a higher league), and new participants. Thus, even when a member change occurs in the league hierarchy, step 600 in FIG. 6 becomes YES and the process proceeds to step 602 to group the promoted person, demoted person, remaining person, and new participant. In this case, it is possible to organize a group according to the user level with new members, but it may be incorporated into an existing group having relatively close users. When grouping is completed in this way, the system loops and waits.

  Next, one specific example of the details of step 304 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. In order to understand the processing here, a description will be given with reference to FIG. In FIG. 9, (A) shows, as an example, two leagues such as league C and league D, a plurality of groups in these leagues, a plurality of users in different groups, such as users U1 to U4 and U5. -U7 is shown. First, in step 800 of FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not there is a battle request from a specific user, for example, user U1, in each group of each league level. When there is a battle request, in the next step 802, several opponent candidates with the same rank are selected from the league to which the specific user belongs and presented to the user. Further, in step 802, the option for the challenge is displayed.

  As a comparable opponent candidate, a user close to the level of a specific user can be selected. In the illustrated example of FIG. 9, the users U2, U3, U4 are selected from the groups 2, 3, n in the league D to which the user U1 belongs and different from the group to which the user U1 belongs, and presented to the user. In addition, if the opponent candidate selection is a group in the same league, a candidate can be selected irrespective of whether it is a group to which the user U1 belongs. However, when users having relatively close levels are grouped into the same group, candidates may be selected from the same group. In this manner, as shown in FIG. 9B, for example, users U2, U3, and U4 who are equivalent opponent candidates are displayed. At this time, the candidate list includes items of user rank, team comprehensive ability, and battle record in order to indicate the level of the user, and can be used as a guide for knowing the ability of the opponent candidate. Here, the user rank represents the skill of the user or the skill level of the game. For example, in the case of soccer, the total team power can be the sum of ability values of team members. Each member's ability value can be increased by acquiring items in other games. The results show the wins and losses in previous games. FIG. 9B also shows a button 900 for selecting an option for the challenge as described above.

  Next, in step 804 of FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not a challenge is selected. This is determined, for example, based on whether or not the button 900 in FIG. 9B is clicked. If selected, in step 806, an opponent candidate is selected and presented from a league higher than the league to which the specific user belongs. The candidate selection from the higher league can be performed at random regardless of whether the user level is close or not because the user desires a higher challenge. In the illustrated example of FIG. 9C, users U5, U6, U7 of the higher league C are selected and presented to the user U1.

  Next, in step 808, it is determined whether or not an opponent has been selected by a specific user. When the opponent is selected, in the next step 810, a battle with the selected opponent is executed. This battle can usually be performed by manual operation on the specific user side and by AI (population intelligence) on the opponent side. However, the opponent side can also play the battle by manual operation instead of AI.

  When the battle is over, the battle result is processed in the next step 812. In this process, base points can be awarded based on winning, losing, and draw results, and additional points can be awarded based on in-game actions. For example, the base points can be given as points 3 for winning, 2 for drawing, and 1 for losing. The action in the game is, for example, an action when two or more actions succeed in succession. For example, when a combination play such as a dribble to pass, a pass to shoot, or a heading to shoot succeeds, Points are awarded for each play. Further, different points may be added depending on whether the game is home or away. The total of the points evaluated in this way can be registered in the user attribute battle record instead of, for example, winning / losing / drawing, or in combination with such winning / losing.

  Although the above is an evaluation method at the time of a match of the same rank, the challenge orientation of the user is satisfied by performing an evaluation different from the above at the battle of the rank. For example, in a competitive match, the number of points to be given as the above-mentioned base points or addition points can be increased or multiplied by a certain magnification (for example, twice) as compared to the case of a match with the same rank.

  As described above, one season in the league to which the user belongs can be completed by continuing the match within the group to which the specific user belongs. Here, one season is a period in which a league game is performed at each league level. For example, if there are a certain number of members, for example, 12 members in one group, a certain number of games of 11 or less are played. Can be terminated when digested. Alternatively, one season can be ended by the passage of a certain time. When one season is over, a season end notification is generated. By the end of this one season, the competition results in the league game of each user in the group are determined. The battle results are represented by league points obtained by summing up the base points and the addition points given by the above-described battle result processing for each battle for a plurality of battles.

  Next, one specific example of the details of step 306 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. In order to understand the processing here, FIG. 11 is also referred to. FIG. 11 shows users in a certain group. First, in step 1000 of FIG. 10, whether or not there is a group in which the season has ended in each league hierarchy is determined based on whether or not a season end notification has occurred. When it is determined that there is a group whose season has ended, in the next step 1002, the league hierarchy points of the users in the group are updated. That is, as shown in the example of FIG. 11, the top two users increase the league tier points by 1 to promote them to a higher league, and the lower two users add 1 league tier points to demote to a lower league. The remaining 8 players will remain in the league and will remain unchanged. If there is no lower league to be demoted, it will remain. In the top league, there is no higher league to be promoted, so the first place can be the winner of the top league. Next, in step 1004, the group is released so that the promoted person, the demoted person, and the remaining person can enter the new group.

  When step 306 in FIG. 3 is completed as described above, the process loops to step 300 in FIG. 3. In step 402 in FIG. 4, which shows details of step 300, YES is determined. The remaining persons are distributed to the corresponding league tiers based on the league tier points. In this way, when the season ends in each group, the league members are updated, and a new group organization is performed, so that the league battle in each league hierarchy progresses.

As mentioned above, although the league match game system of one embodiment of the present invention was explained, the present invention is not limited to this, and various changes are possible within the range which does not deviate from the gist.
