  Base object types include stations and bus stops. When the user has a plurality of stations and bus stops, the station 1, the station 2, the bus stop 1, and the bus stop 2 are managed so that they can be distinguished from each other.

  The status of the base object indicates whether or not the base object is operating, and if it is operating, it indicates whether the movement has started and ended, or whether it is a relay base. “The base object is in operation” means that the vehicle object is moving with the base object as a base. For example, the station 1 in FIG. 6 indicates that the train A is moving from the station 1 as a base and the connection destination is the station 3 in the area A3.

  Thus, the connection destination indicates to which base object the base object that is the base of movement is connected. The base object and the connection destination object may be arranged in the same area of the same user, may be arranged between different areas of the same user, or may be arranged between different users. .

  The number of tracks / roads is the distance to the connection destination base object. Tracks and roads are objects for connecting bases. An object for connecting base objects such as a track connecting stations and a road connecting bus stops is called a “connection object”.

  In addition, the number of tracks / roads is the same as the number of tracks / road objects installed in the local area and the number of tracks / road objects installed in the local area, regardless of whether the user is a user or a different user. And the total number of tracks or road objects arranged in

  If the connection destinations are in different areas, objects serving as temporary bases may be placed in the spaces where the base objects connected to each other are placed. In this case, the distance between the base objects is the sum of the number of connection objects from the base object to the temporary base and the number of connection objects from the temporary base in the connection destination area to the base object of the connection destination.

  An example of the temporary base object is an object such as a tunnel. In this embodiment, a case where a tunnel object is used as an indication of the position of a temporary base will be described, but the present invention is not limited to such a form. For example, the position of the temporary base may be indicated by an image such as an arrow instead of the object. In the present embodiment, an object that is a temporary base is also referred to as a “temporary base object”.

  The loaded item indicates an item loaded on the vehicle object. In this way, items may be loaded on the vehicle object.

  The fare is a game point (coin) that is given by selecting an object that is a base of the vehicle object as a starting base. In the present embodiment, a case where the fare is a coin will be described. The fare is calculated by the reward calculation unit 116 based on the state of surrounding objects and the like. The fare calculated by the reward calculation unit 116 is stored in the user management table 301 by the terminal processing unit 112. For example, if there is no peripheral object, only the basic fare associated with the base object is provided, and if there is a peripheral object, a bonus associated with the type or the like is added. In the present specification, an object that affects the calculation of the fare by being within a specified range from the base object is referred to as a “neighboring object”.

  Next, an object management table 302 for managing information associated with each building object will be described with reference to FIG. The object management table 302 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the object management table 302, attributes (types) of each building object and various types of information related to the building object are associated. Examples of the various types of information include information on game population that can be acquired, such as possessed population, coins to be produced, and items, and game parameters.

  Further, in order to be able to acquire game points and game parameters from each building object, it is necessary to operate the object. As a game parameter necessary for operation, power consumption is associated with an attribute (type) of each building object (not shown).

  In addition, the building time, which is the time required for each object to be changed to a built building after being placed in the game space as a building under construction, is associated with the attribute (type) of each building object (not shown). .

  In addition, a preparation time required for each object to produce coins, items, and the like is associated with an attribute (type) of each building object (not shown). A plurality of preparation times may be determined, and each time the preparation time elapses, the amount of coin and item production may be increased.

  Although not shown, for a station or a bus stop, a basic fare may be associated with an attribute (type) of each building object. The basic fare is a fare unique to the base object before the calculation based on the bonus by the surrounding objects and the number of connected objects.

  Next, an object management table 303 for managing information associated with a vehicle object will be described with reference to FIG. The object management table 303 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100.

Examples of the various types of information include information on images (graphics) used for display, speed, the number of reciprocations, and the number of stackable items.

  As shown in FIG. 8, although the speed is described as “fast”, “normal”, “slow”, for example, movement per object (railway, road) for connecting the above-mentioned bases Time (hours, minutes, seconds) may be specified. In the vehicle object management table, as shown in FIG. 8, it is defined as “fast”, “normal”, “slow”, etc., and the specific time based on each specified content can be managed separately. Good.

  The number of reciprocations is the number of times the vehicle object reciprocates between the base objects until the vehicle object finishes moving after it has once departed.

  Next, a passive skill management table 304 for managing passive skills associated with base objects will be described with reference to FIG. The passive skill management table 304 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the passive skill management table 304 associates object names, skill contents, and effective ranges.

  By operating the base object, a predetermined skill (passive skill) for advantageously proceeding with the game can be activated. Specifically, the skill is automatically activated by starting the movement of the vehicle object with the base object as the departure base.

  The base object has a skill capable of acquiring a fare as a passive skill, and the passive skill management table 304 defines information regarding the skill for acquiring a fare.

  In this embodiment, the skill content is acquisition of a fare as shown in FIG. That is, the fare can be acquired when the corresponding base object is the first and last movement. In addition, the fare can be calculated for the base object serving as a relay base between the first departure and the last arrival. Although the description is simplified in FIG. 9, a station may be a relay base. Also, there are cases where bus stops also operate as first and last arrivals.

  The effective range is information that defines in which range around the base object is used for calculating the fare.

  In addition, although the passive skill relevant to acquisition of a fare was demonstrated here, the passive skill etc. which increase / decrease the population within an effective range for every object may be provided, for example.

  Next, an active skill management table 305 for managing active skills associated with the base object will be described with reference to FIG. The active skill management table 305 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the active skill management table 305, an object name, skill contents, an effective range, and an activation condition are associated.

  The active skill is a skill that is activated to advance the game advantageously by accepting a skill activation request from the user after satisfying the activation condition.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, an active skill is set for the station object.

  Specifically, the activation condition is that a train loaded with a predetermined item arrives. That is, the station object is an arrival base, and satisfies the trigger condition when a train loaded with a predetermined item arrives. Thereafter, by receiving a skill activation request from the user, a predetermined amount of coins is transferred to the station object from which the train on which the item is stacked is the departure base.

  In the station object as the departure base, a display indicating that a predetermined amount of coins has been transferred is displayed. The user who owns the station object can acquire the coin by performing an operation for acquiring the coin based on the display.

<Processing flow of game system>
Hereinafter, the processing flow of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The user can place each object in the game space by selecting an object to be placed (so-called “architecture”) in the game space from an object list (not shown) and specifying a location.

  The user can acquire the population, coins (in-game currency), and various items as game points by arranging each object in the game space. Further, by selecting an object that has already been arranged and designating another location, the arrangement position of the object can be moved.

[Game progress processing by user A]
With reference to FIGS. 11-14, the flow of the game progress process in the home game space linked | related with the user A is demonstrated in detail. Specifically, a process in which a population P as a game point is given to the user A by arranging a building as a game object will be described.

  Note that, as will be described later, in the game system 1, game spaces associated with a plurality of users can be connected via a network, and the user A is a user among a plurality of users described in the present embodiment. Be alone.

  In the following embodiment, the user A's terminal is the first user terminal 100-1 and has the same configuration as the user terminal 100 described above. In addition, a second user terminal 100-2 of user B described later is also configured to have the same configuration as the user terminal 100.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that there are a plurality of areas in the home game space, and the user A has a plurality of areas. Hereinafter, the game progress process in the area A1 will be described. That is, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are diagrams schematically showing an example of the configuration of the area A1. FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are examples of flowcharts showing processing of the game system that causes the computer to execute the function.

  As illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 13, the user A selects a predetermined object by pressing and holding a predetermined object from the shop objects SO included in the shop S displayed on the first user terminal 100-1. Next, drag to a predetermined position on the plane PL1 in the area A1.

  In S <b> 101, the action receiving unit 111 detects an action on the input unit 151 from the user A. In S102, the action accepting unit 111 accepts the detected action by the user A as an object placement request for placing an object in the game space.

  In S103, the display control unit 115 arranges the building under construction BO (first state) on the plane PL1 based on the object arrangement request. In step S <b> 104, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits game space information indicating that the object is arranged in the area A <b> 1 to the game server 200.

  In S <b> 201, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives information related to the object placed by the user A. In S202, the data management unit 213 updates the user information (user management table 300) based on the received information.

  In S105, when the building BO under construction is arranged on the plane PL1, the timer unit 113 starts measuring elapsed time. In the case of YES in S106, the timer unit 113 recognizes that the elapsed time of the building under construction set for each object has exceeded. Furthermore, in the case of YES in S107, the action receiving unit 111 receives a user action (for example, a tap operation) for the building under construction BO. In S108, as shown in FIG. 12, the display control unit 115 changes the building BO under construction to O1 to O5 that are objects of the already built building. In the case of NO in any one of S106 and S107, that is, when the elapsed time of the building under construction has not elapsed or when the user action on the building BO under construction is not accepted, the processing shown in FIG. Continue to loop.

  Next, in S109, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether or not electric power is supplied to the constructed object from the lifeline. In S110, the terminal processing unit 112 operates each object. In the example shown in FIG. 12, since the power plant O3 that is a lifeline is arranged adjacent to the road R, power is supplied to the object adjacent to the road R. In the present embodiment, the condominium O1, the store O4, and the fire department O5 are operated by electric power supplied from the power plant O3. Moreover, since the park O2 does not require electric power, it operates even if it is not adjacent to the road R.

  The action accepting unit 111 starts accepting a user action on a building object when the built building is in operation. As a result, it is possible to accept the acquisition of the population P by the building object and the activation of the skill (second state).

  In S110, when the terminal processing unit 112 changes the building under construction to a built building, the timer unit 113 starts measuring the elapsed time of each of the objects O1 to O5. In addition, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A the population P associated with the object, which is acquired by placing the object in the area A1. In S111, the terminal processing unit 112 updates the population P associated with the user A as a game point.

  In S <b> 112, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits game information including information that the building under construction has changed to a built building to the game server 200. In S <b> 203, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives information indicating that the building object held by the user has changed to a built building, and information regarding the population P acquired by operating the built building. . In S204, the data management unit 213 updates the user management table 300 based on these pieces of information.

  The already constructed building may be changed to a building under construction again. For example, the population that can be held and / or the coin production amount may be increased by increasing or leveling up a built building. In this case, the display control unit 115 changes the built building again to the building under construction, and starts measuring the elapsed time of the timer unit 113 (similar to S105).

  Next, the action reception unit 111 receives a user action after the construction time (extension time) necessary for extension or level-up has elapsed (similar to S106 to S107). Through the above processing, the building under construction may be changed to an already built building after extension or level-up (similar to S108). The subsequent processes S109 to S112 and S203 to S204 can also be applied to the subsequent game point update process.

  Next, a process for increasing / decreasing the population P of the apartment O1 by the passive skills of surrounding objects will be described. Here, a case will be described in which the park O2 increases the population of objects arranged within the effective range, and the power plant O3 has a passive skill that reduces the population of objects arranged within the effective range.

  As shown in FIG.12 and FIG.14, when the condominium O1, the park O2, the power plant O3, the store O4, and the fire department O5 as a built building are arranged on the plane PL1 in S113, the reward calculation unit 116 in S118 The game points associated with the user A are calculated by calculating the population owned by each object. In the present embodiment, the building object that can hold the population P is only the apartment O1.

  First, in S114, the reward calculation unit 116 identifies the population that can be owned by the apartment O1. Next, in S115, the reward calculation unit 116 identifies an initial population that can be held by the apartment O1 being placed on the plane PL1. S114 and S115 are performed by the reward calculation unit 116 referring to the object management table 302.

  Next, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates a change in the population held in the apartment O1 by the skill of another object. First, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether the apartment O1 belongs to the effective range of another object (S116). It is determined that the apartment O1 belongs to the effective range E1 of the park O2 and the effective range E2 of the power plant O3. The reward calculation unit 116 receives this determination result.

  In S117, when the reward calculation unit 116 identifies the contents of the passive skills of the park O2 and the power plant O3, the reward increase unit 116 adds the population increase due to the passive skill of the park O2 from the initial population, and reduces the population decrease due to the passive skill of the power plant O3. Is subtracted. Thereby, in S118, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the population owned by the apartment O1.

  In S119, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits the possessed population P obtained by placing the apartment O1 in the area A1 to the transmission / reception unit 211 as game point information. In S205, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives information regarding the game point. In S206, the data management unit 213 updates the user information (user management table 300) based on the information.

[Fare grant processing example 1]
Next, a process in which the user A moves a train object using a station object owned by another user as a destination and obtains a fare as a reward will be described with reference to FIGS. The fare is paid in coins.

  As described above, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of users are connected via a network. Here, as shown in FIG. 15, a case where users A to D can be connected to each other will be described. Further, areas A1 to A3 exist in the game space G1 of the user A. There are areas A11 to A13 in the game space G2 of the user B.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the user A sets the station OS1, tunnel OT1, track R1, bus stops OB1 to OB3, station square shopping street O11, station square plaza O12, station square police box O13, and water tower O14 on the plane PL1 in the area A1. It is arranged.

  Further, the user A has a train OV1. Although FIG. 16 shows a state where the train OV1 is moving, the display control unit 115 does not display the train OV1 on the display unit 152 before starting the movement. However, the display control unit 115 may cause the display unit 152 to display another image indicating that the station OS1 stores the train OV1 instead of the station OS1.

  First, as shown in FIG. 17, in S151, the action accepting unit 111 of the first user terminal 100-1 accepts an operation in which the user A instructs the departure of the train OV1 from the station OS1. As operation which instruct | indicates the departure, the following operation is mentioned, for example. First, when the user A taps the station OS1, a screen that allows the user A to select whether or not to leave the train is displayed on the display unit 152. Next, when the user A gives an instruction to leave the train (tap options, etc.), a list of vehicle objects owned by the user A is displayed on the display unit 152. Next, when the user A taps the train OV1 from the list, the movement of the train OV1 starts. It should be noted that from the tap by the user A to the display on the display unit 152, the acceptance of the tap by the action receiving unit 111, the notification of the received result to the display control unit 115, and the display unit 152 by the display control unit 115 A display instruction is given.

  Next, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display a screen for inquiring whether the destination of the train OV1 is another station owned by the user A or another station owned by the other user. The action receiving unit 111 receives an operation that the user A selects a station owned by another user, and notifies the terminal processing unit 112 that the operation has been received.

  In S152, the terminal processing unit 112 accepts the notification as an instruction to display candidates of other users (partner users) who own a station serving as the destination of the train OV1. In S153, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits the instruction to the game server 200. In S251, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the instruction.

  In S252, the matching unit 214 selects a candidate for a user who owns a station as a connection destination. Specifically, a user who has a station that can be connected as a destination of the train OV1 is selected from the user information stored in the storage unit 220, and a predetermined number is randomly selected from the selected users. Select users. Specifically, the matching unit 214 selects a station that can be connected to a user who has a station and a tunnel and is connected through a track from among users stored in the storage unit 220. Judgment as a possessing user and selection. In addition, you may provide the function which makes a user set whether to permit the connection with another user.

  When the train OV1 starts from a station arranged in its own area and moves to any other area owned by itself or any area (other area) owned by another user, a tunnel object arranged in the own area Is a temporary arrival point of the train OV1 in its own area. On the other hand, the tunnel object arranged in the destination area (other area) of the train OV1 is a temporary departure base of the train OV1.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since temporary base objects (tunnel objects) that can be temporary departure bases or temporary arrival bases are arranged in each area, the user A can place a station arranged in the own area in another area. It is possible to easily determine whether or not it is possible to connect to the station to be arranged through the appearance of the own area. That is, such an idea makes it easy for the user A to grasp the state of the own area.

  Further, when the user A browses the area of the other user, the user A can easily grasp the state of the area of the other user.

  Note that the method for indicating the presence of the temporary base is not limited to the form in which the temporary base object is provided, and an image in which the position of the temporary base is displayed, such as an arrow, may be used. In this case, it may be possible to move to another area by connecting from the image to a base object such as a station with a connection object such as a railroad or a road. Even in such a form, the advantage of facilitating the grasp of the state of the above-mentioned own area and other areas can be obtained.

  In S252, the matching unit 214 may not randomly select a predetermined number of users from among connectable users. Instead, for example, the matching unit 214 may preferentially select a specific user associated with the user A as a friend as a candidate user, and set a level (rank) corresponding to the progress of the game to the user ID. It is also possible to preferentially select users having similar levels as candidate users in advance.

  In S253, the transmission / reception unit 211 transmits the user information related to the candidate user selected by the matching unit 214 to the first user terminal 100-1. At this time, in addition to the user information, the number of tracks from the tunnel to the station held by the selected candidate user is also transmitted. When the selected candidate user has a plurality of stations, the list of stations and the number of tracks to each station are transmitted in association with each other.

  In S154, the transmission / reception unit 117 receives the candidate user information together with the number of lines, and notifies the display control unit 115 of the candidate user information and the number of lines. The display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display the candidate user information and the number of tracks.

  The user A selects desired user information as a partner user, and when the partner user has a plurality of stations, the user A performs an operation of selecting which station is the arrival base. Next, in S155, the action accepting unit 111 accepts the operation. In S156, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits the selected user information to the game server 200, and in S254, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives the user information.

  Note that the display control unit 115 may display the game space of the candidate user on the display unit 152 based on an instruction from the user A. Then, the action receiving unit 111 may receive an operation of directly tapping the target station by the user.

  By making it possible to select a base object owned by a different user as a connection destination of the train OV1 as in this embodiment, the social nature of the game is improved. In other words, it's not just to run the game alone, but also to increase the chances of viewing other people's cityscapes and increasing the opportunity to send messages by selecting them as train destinations. The game can be progressed.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, description will be made assuming that the station OS2 arranged in the area A11 of the user B is the connection destination. As shown in FIG. 16, station OS2, tunnel OT2, track R2, station front department store O15, and water tower O16 are arranged on plane PL11 in area A11 of user B.

  In S255, the transmission / reception unit 211 transmits information indicating that the selection from the user A is accepted to the second user terminal 100-2 of the user B. In S351, the transmission / reception unit (not shown) of the second user terminal 100-2 receives the information.

  Further, the number of tracks from the station OS1 to the station OS2 is determined by the above processing. Therefore, in S157 (point calculation step) and S352 (second point calculation step), the reward calculation unit 116 and the reward calculation unit (not shown) of the second user terminal 100-2 are respectively connected to the user A side and The fare acquired on the user B side is calculated.

  Here, an example of a fare calculation method will be described. In the present embodiment, the fare is calculated based on the peripheral objects installed within the specified range of the base object that is the starting base and the connection object for connecting the base objects.

  First, the fare for the station OS1 is calculated. The effective range of the station OS1 for the fare addition by the peripheral objects is within a 5 × 5 square centering on the station OS1, and is shown as a range e1 in FIG.

  In the range e1, a station square O12 and a station square police box O13 are arranged. Therefore, a bonus due to the station square O12 and the station police box O13 being arranged in the range e1 is added. If the station square shopping street O11 is located within the range e1, a bonus has been added. However, since the station square shopping street O11 is arranged outside the range e1, no bonus is added. Further, even if the water tower O14 is arranged in the range e1, no bonus is added.

  In this way, by providing objects that are subject to bonus addition and those that are not subject to addition depending on the object, it is possible to make a game with a high level of urban development elements centered on the base of transportation means. . This is because the presence of a bonus based on the object can motivate the user to place an object that generates a fare bonus in the vicinity of the station and the bus stop. Accordingly, it is possible to motivate the user to form different streets around the station, the bus stop, and other areas, and the game has a high urban development factor centered on the base of transportation. Many real cities have been developed around transportation hubs such as stations, but in light of the purpose of people's movement, they have developed due to the collection of highly convenient commercial facilities around transportation hubs. There are many things. Also according to the present invention, it is possible to allow the user to experience the creation of a city that is conscious of an actual person.

  In the present embodiment, the fare is added according to the number of populations living in the surrounding objects. For example, when an object of a residential facility such as an apartment is arranged in the range e1, a fare is added based on the total resident population.

  An addition based on the number of connection objects is also performed. For example, it may be 0 coin when the number of tracks or roads is 1 to 9, 10 coin when it is 10 to 19, 20 coin when it is 20 or more, and so on. In the present embodiment, the fare is based on the total number of line objects constituting the line R1 between the station OS1 and the tunnel OT1 and the number of line objects constituting the line R2 between the station OS2 and the tunnel OT2. Will increase.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the fare based on the state of the surrounding objects and the distance between the station OS1 and the station OS2. The reward calculation unit 116 may calculate the fare based on the travel time instead of the distance or in addition to the distance.

  Note that the vehicle object may not be operated when the number of objects connecting the bases is equal to or less than the predetermined number as in the case of 0 coins. Also, coins may be adjusted according to the level of the base object.

  Further, the number of round trips is defined for the vehicle object as shown in the object management table 303. For example, the train OV1 makes a specified number of round trips between the station OS1 and the station OS2. Then, after a predetermined number of round trips, the movement of the train OV1 ends.

  An example of a more specific fare calculation method based on the above description is as follows. In other words, an example of a formula for calculating the fare given by leaving the train from the station OS1 is as shown in the following formula. Fare of station OS1 = (basic fare of station OS1 + bonus by surrounding objects) × (population number living in surrounding objects).

  Since the train OV1 goes back and forth between the station OS1 and the station OS2, the total amount of fare given by leaving the train from the station OS1 is obtained by multiplying the above formula by (the number of times the train OV1 has been visited). It becomes.

  Further, at the station OS2 on the user B side, the fare can be acquired every time the train OV1 departs the return journey. An example of the calculation formula is as shown in the following formula. Fare of station OS2 = (basic fare of station OS2 + bonus by surrounding objects) × (population number living in surrounding objects). Similar to the fare on the station OS1 side, the total fare given by leaving the train from the station OS2 is obtained by multiplying the above formula by (the number of times the train OV1 is restored).

  Note that the effective range of the station OS2 for adding the fare by the peripheral object is within a 5 × 5 square centering on the station OS2, and is shown as a range e2 in FIG. A bonus due to the station department store O15 being arranged is added to the range e2. Further, even if the water tower O16 is arranged in the effective range, it is not a target for bonus addition.

  As described above, by using various elements for calculating the reward, it is possible to improve the strategy of the game and the motivation to play continuously.

  For example, in this embodiment, the greater the number of connection objects, the greater the reward. However, if other objects cannot be placed at the place where the number of connection objects is placed, a situation where the number of buildings cannot be increased occurs when the number of tracks is increased. This improves the strategy of the game such as devising the arrangement and number of tracks. Thus, the strategy of the game can be improved by using the distance between the base objects and the travel time for calculating the fare.

  The elements used for calculating the reward are not limited to the above-described forms, and for example, the level, type, grade, and the like of the base object and the vehicle object may be used as the elements.

  When the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the fare that can be acquired at the station OS1, the calculation result is notified to the terminal processing unit 112. In S157, the terminal processing unit 112 updates the fare data of the user management table 301 in the user information of the user A. Since the fare data is a fare given to the user every time the train OV1 departs from the station OS1, it is the fare before being multiplied by the above (the number of times the train OV1 travels). Similarly, the fare that can be acquired by the station OS2 by the reward calculation unit of the second user terminal 100-2 is calculated and notified to a terminal processing unit (not shown) of the second user terminal 100-2. In S352, the terminal processing unit of the second user terminal 100-2 updates the fare data in the user management table 301 in the user information of the user B.

  In addition, the terminal processing unit 112 updates the user management table 301 so as to specify that the station OS1 is the first departure / end base. The same process is performed on the second user terminal 100-2.

  In S158 and S353, the transmission / reception unit 117 of the first user terminal 100-1 and the transmission / reception unit of the second user terminal 100-2 transmit the updated user information to the game server 200. Next, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives the user information and notifies the data management unit 213 of the user information. In S256, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of the user A and the user B stored in the storage unit 220.

  Next, in S159 (display control step), in the first user terminal 100-1, the display control unit 115 starts displaying an image indicating the movement of the train OV1 on the display unit 152.

  The travel time from the station OS1 to the station OS2 is determined from the lengths of the tracks R1 and R2 (number of track objects) and the type of the train OV1. The terminal determination unit 114 calculates the travel time. Further, the terminal determination unit 114 notifies the timer unit 113 of the travel time, and the timer unit 113 measures whether or not the travel time has elapsed since the start of the movement.

  In the case of YES in S160, that is, when the one-way travel time has elapsed, that is, when the time until the train OV1 arrives at the station OS2 has elapsed, the display control unit 115 can acquire the fare at the station OS1. An image indicating this is displayed on the display unit 152. As the image, for example, the balloon C11 is superimposed on the station OS1. Since the balloon C11 includes an image of a coin, the user can grasp that the coin can be acquired.

  In the case of YES in S161, that is, when the action receiving unit 111 receives an operation for acquiring a fare, the terminal processing unit 112 updates the information on the coins held in the user management table 300 in S162 (granting step). As operation for acquiring a fare, operation which taps above-mentioned balloon C11 is mentioned, for example.

  In the case of NO in S160, that is, when the travel time has not elapsed, and in the case of NO in S161, that is, when the user A does not perform an operation for acquiring the fare even if the travel time has elapsed. Then, S160 and S161 are continuously looped.

  After the terminal processing unit 112 updates the information on the coins held in the user management table 300, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits the updated user information to the game server 200 in S163. In S257, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives the user information.

  In S258, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of the user A stored in the storage unit 220 based on the user information received in S257.

  In the first user terminal 100-1, the timer unit 113 continues to measure the travel time. The timer unit 113 also counts the number of departures on the outward path. In the case of YES in S164, that is, when the timer unit 113 recognizes that the number of outgoing departures has reached the number specified in the train OV1, the display control unit 115 displays the next train OV1 on the display unit 152 in S165. Displays the arrival of the train at the station OS1, and then ends the display of the train movement. In the case of NO in S164, that is, while the number of outgoing departures does not reach the predetermined number, the processing of S160 to S163 is repeated.

  In S354 to S360 (S357 is the second grant step), the same processing is performed except that the fare generation timing is at the time of departure on the return route, and the count of the number of departures on the outward route is set as the count of the number of departures on the return route. This is performed by the user terminal 100-2. In S259 and S260, the game server 200 also updates the information on the coins owned by the user B by acquiring the fare, and ends the process.

  As described above, since the fare can be acquired even for the user leaving the return route, the opportunity to be aware of other users is further increased. This is because the presence of a reward such as a fare motivates the user to select a station owned by another user as the destination of the train. Therefore, a game with higher sociality can be provided.

  Moreover, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where the station which another user owns as a destination of a train was demonstrated, it is not limited to such a form. In the game execution method according to the present invention, the connection destination of the moving object may be between the base objects that are owned by itself and located in different areas. In such a case, it is possible to motivate the user to develop a plurality of areas together. This is a beneficial advantage in communication games via the Internet. This is because the amount of data communicated at a time can be reduced. If the game can be progressed by dividing it into a plurality of areas instead of proceeding in one large area, only the data of the area in which the game is progressing need be communicated. On the other hand, even when the user can have a plurality of areas, the user can advance the game in only one area. Therefore, simply dividing the area may cause disadvantages to the user when the area becomes narrow. However, in such a form, the user is motivated to develop a plurality of areas together, so the above-described reduction in the amount of data to be communicated and an increase in the fun of the game for the user are realized. Can do.

[Fare grant processing example 2]
Next, a process of obtaining a coin as a reward as a fare by moving the bus object by the user A will be described.

  In the present example, as shown in FIG. 16, a mode in which the user A moves the bus OV2 from the bus stop OB1 to the bus stop OB3 via the bus stop OB2 will be described. The description of the processing similar to the processing example 1 of fare grant will be omitted, and different points will be mainly described.

  In this example, the bus stop OB1 serving as the departure base of the vehicle object and the bus stop OB3 serving as the arrival base are arranged in the same area A1, and are different from the processing example 1 for granting the fare. Since there is no need to select a base object held by another user via the server, S152 to S156 in FIG. 17 are not necessary. Instead, the bus stop OB1 is selected as the departure point, and the bus stop OB3 is selected as the arrival point.

  Specifically, as in S151, processing for receiving an instruction to leave the bus OV2 from the bus stop OB1 is performed.

  Next, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display a screen for inquiring whether the destination of the bus OV2 is another bus stop owned by the user A or another bus stop owned by another user. The action accepting unit 111 accepts an operation to the effect that the user A selects a bus stop OB3 that is a bus stop owned by the user A.

  In addition, this example is different from the fare grant processing example 1 in that there is a base serving as a relay. That is, the bus stop OB2 is arranged at a position adjacent to the road object in the middle of the road R11 connecting the bus stop OB1 and the bus stop OB3.

  As described above, after the action receiving unit 111 receives an instruction to select an arrival site by the user, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether there is an object that can be a site in the middle of the connection object. An object that is arranged in the middle of a connection object and can serve as a base is called a “relay object”.

  In this example, there is a bus stop OB2 as a relay object. Therefore, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display a screen that allows the user to select whether or not the bus stop OB2 is used as a relay base. The action accepting unit 111 accepts an operation that the user selects to set the bus stop OB2 as a relay base.

  When the relay base is set, the vehicle object arrives at the relay base and departs from the relay base, so that the fare can also be acquired at the relay base.

  When the action accepting unit 111 accepts an operation that the user A sets the bus stop OB2 as a relay base, next, as in S157, the reward calculation unit 116 can acquire at each of the bus stop OB1, the bus stop OB2, and the bus stop OB3. Calculate the fare.

  There are no peripheral objects that generate bonuses at the bus stops OB1 and OB3. Therefore, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the fare based on the basic fare of the bus stops OB1 and OB3 and the population within the predetermined range.

  In addition, since the station square shopping street O11 is arranged within the range e2 which is the prescribed range at the bus stop OB2, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates a fare by adding a bonus by surrounding objects.

  When the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the fare as described above, the terminal processing unit 112 updates the fare in the user management table 301.

  In addition, the terminal processing unit 112 updates the user management table 301 to specify that the bus stop OB1 and the bus stop OB3 are the starting / ending bases and the bus stop OB2 is the relay base.

  Next, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits the updated user management table 301 to the game server 200.

  Thereafter, the same processing as S158 to S165 is performed, and a moving image of the bus OV2 is displayed, a fare is acquired, and the like. The fare is generated each time the bus OV2 departs from the bus stop OB1, bus stop OB2, and bus stop OB3.

[Item transport processing example]
Next, in addition to the same process as the fare grant process example 1, an example in which the item I1 is mounted on the train OV1 will be described with reference to FIG. The description of the processing similar to the processing example 1 of fare grant will be omitted, and different points will be mainly described.

  In this example, after performing the process of selecting the other user (S155), the user A selects whether the item is to be mounted on the train OV1, and if it is to be mounted, which item is to be mounted. By sending the train OV1 carrying the item to the user B, the user B can acquire the item and the user A can acquire the coin. That is, a gift can be given between different users, and thereby both user A and user B can receive a gain. Thereby, the social property of a game improves more and it can advance a game, making a user conscious of another user.

  Specifically, the display control unit 115 first causes the display unit 152 to display a screen for selecting whether to mount an item. After the action accepting unit 111 accepts an operation that the user selects to mount an item, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display a list of mountable items.

  The action receiving unit 111 receives an operation of dragging the item I1 to be loaded to the station OS1, and recognizes that the item I1 has been selected as an item to be mounted on the train OV1.

  Next, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits information indicating that the user B has been selected and information indicating that the item I1 is mounted on the train OV1 to the game server 200 (S156).

  When the transmission / reception unit 211 transmits information indicating that the selection as the destination of the train OV1 is received from the user A to the transmission / reception unit of the second user terminal 100-2 of the user B, the item I1 is the train OV1. Also, information indicating that it is installed is transmitted (S255, S351).

  In addition, the terminal processing unit 112 performs a process of reducing the item I1 from the possessed items in the user management table 300.

  Next, in step S <b> 158, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits the user information after the terminal processing unit 112 adds the calculated fare and performs the process of reducing the item I <b> 1 to the game server 200. In S256, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives the user information, and the data management unit 213 updates the user information of the user A stored in the storage unit 220.

  When the fare that can be acquired by the reward calculation unit 116 at the station OS1 may be calculated by adding a bonus based on loading items.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by mounting the item I1 on the train OV1, the user B can activate the active skill defined in the active skill management table 305 shown in FIG. The case of giving to will be described.

  First, a process in which user B activates an active skill will be described. First, in S351, the transmission / reception unit of the second user terminal 100-2 receives information indicating that the item I1 is mounted on the train OV1.

  Next, the terminal determination part (not shown) of the 2nd user terminal 100-2 refers to the active skill management table 305 regarding a station. The conditions for activating the active skill of the present embodiment are that the train is equipped with a predetermined item (condition 1) and that the train arrives at the station (condition 2). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the item I1 is the predetermined item.

  The terminal determination unit of the second user terminal 100-2 compares Condition 1 and the information received in S351, and determines whether Condition 1 is satisfied. In the present embodiment, since the condition 1 is satisfied, the terminal determination unit of the second user terminal 100-2 determines that the condition 1 of the active skill is satisfied.

  In the case of YES in S355, that is, the timer section (not shown) of the second user terminal 100-2 that the time when the train OV1 carrying the item I2 corresponding to the item I1 has arrived at the station OS2 on the user B side has elapsed. ) Recognizes. Next, the timer unit of the second user terminal 100-2 notifies the terminal determination unit of the second user terminal 100-2.

  The terminal determination unit of the second user terminal 100-2 recognizes that the conditions 1 and 2 are satisfied, and determines that the active skill activation condition is satisfied. The terminal determination unit of the second user terminal 100-2 notifies the determination result to a display control unit (not shown) of the second user terminal 100-2.

  The display control unit of the second user terminal 100-2 displays an image indicating that the active skill can be activated on the display unit of the second user terminal 100-2. Specifically, the balloon S11 is displayed. When the action accepting unit (not shown) of the second user terminal 100-2 accepts an operation in which the user B taps the balloon S11, the action accepting unit notifies the transmitting / receiving unit of the second user terminal 100-2 that the operation has been accepted. To do. Next, the transmission / reception unit of the second user terminal 100-2 transmits information indicating that the activation of the active skill is instructed to the game server 200. The transmission / reception unit 211 receives the information and transmits it to the first user terminal 100-1. The transmission / reception unit 117 receives the information, and causes the display control unit 115 to display an image indicating that the coin can be received on the display unit 152. The action receiving unit 111 receives an operation for receiving a coin, and then the terminal processing unit 112 updates the user information in the storage unit 120. Thereafter, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits the updated user information to the game server 200. Next, based on the user information of user A received by the transmission / reception unit 211, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of user A in the storage unit 220.

  Next, a process in which the user B acquires the item I2 that is an item corresponding to the item I1 will be described. First, in S351, the transmission / reception unit of the second user terminal 100-2 receives information indicating that the item I1 is mounted on the train OV1. In the present embodiment, the item I1 mounted by the user A and the item I2 acquired by the user B are the same type. Therefore, in S351, when the transmission / reception unit of the second user terminal 100-2 receives that the item mounted on the train OV1 is the item I1, the second user terminal 100-2 is the same type item as the item I1. A process for causing the user B to acquire the item I2 is performed.

  First, the timer unit of the second user terminal 100-2 notifies the terminal processing unit of the second user terminal 100-2 that the time for the train OV1 carrying the item to arrive at the station OS2 on the user B side has elapsed. . The terminal processing unit of the second user terminal 100-2 notifies the display control unit of the second user terminal 100-2 that the item I2 can be acquired. The display control unit of the second user terminal 100-2 displays an image indicating that the item I2 can be acquired on the display unit of the second user terminal 100-2. Specifically, the image of the item I2 is displayed in the balloon.

  Next, the action receiving unit of the second user terminal 100-2 receives an operation to the effect that the user B instructs acquisition of the item I2, and notifies the terminal processing unit of the second user terminal 100-2. The terminal processing unit of the second user terminal 100-2 updates the user information of the user B stored in the storage unit of the second user terminal 100-2. Thereafter, the transmission / reception unit of the second user terminal 100-2 transmits the updated user information to the game server 200. Next, based on the user information of user B received by the transmission / reception unit 211, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of user B in the storage unit 220.
