FIG. 3 is a data structure diagram of the player data storage unit 120.
A player who wants to play the game L sends a player registration instruction to the game server 102 via the input unit 162 of the game terminal 104. At this time, the player can specify a player name of up to four characters. Upon receiving an instruction for player registration from the communication unit 150, the player registration unit 146 assigns a player ID to the player who transmitted the instruction, and performs player registration based on the content of the instruction. Once registered, it cannot be changed.

  The player can have a plurality of character characters. There is no upper limit to the number of character characters that can be held. However, the player cannot hold the same character character repeatedly. When the player is registered in the game L, the player obtains 20 character characters. The type of character character obtained at this time is randomly determined. The number of character characters held by the player increases when a quest described later is cleared. In FIG. 3, player A has character characters with IDs “C001” and “C010”. Each character character is assigned an ID and registered in a database in the character data storage unit 122. In FIG. 3, the player C also has a character character with an ID of “C010”. From this, it can be seen that the player A and the player C have the same character character.

  Players challenge various quests during the game. A quest is a task given to a player in the course of a game. Each time the player challenges the quest, the player selects 12 characters from the possessed character characters.

  The setting unit 132 randomly extracts four characters from the twelve character characters selected by the player each time a battle with an enemy character occurs, and arranges them as handpieces. Details of the character character will be described later.

  The game L is a multiplayer game. The player forms a team of 2 to 4 players (hereinafter referred to as “team team”), and plays against NPC (Non Player Character) enemy characters one after another.

  The player who has registered as a player in the game L then sends a team organization instruction (hereinafter referred to as “team organization instruction”) to the game server 102 via the input unit 162 of the game terminal 104. Upon receiving the team organization instruction from the communication unit 150, the team organization unit 148 extracts and matches the players who have the closest number of character characters from the plurality of players who have received the team organization instruction, and forms an ally team.

  When the received team organization instruction is 1 or less, the team organization unit 148 does not organize an ally team. In that case, the team organizing unit 148 notifies the game terminal 104 of the player who has transmitted the team organization instruction that the team cannot be organized.

  The player can transmit a team formation instruction even when the game is resumed.

FIG. 4 is a screen view of the first battle screen 200 showing the state of the hand screen of the player during the turn who is playing against the enemy character 204.
The battle in the game L is developed for each stage. This stage is called “Battle Stage”. There are multiple battle stages in the quest as barriers that prevent the team from going. For each battle stage, the player creates words in cooperation with other players and fights the enemy character 204 that attacks. The game L includes a plurality of stories. The “quest” corresponds to this story. A quest includes multiple battle stages. Each time you clear the battle stage, a story develops. When all battle stages included in the quest are cleared, the story is completed and the quest is cleared.

  FIG. 4 shows the display content of the player A's hand screen 200 during a battle with the enemy character 204 called “Monster M”. Player A forms an ally team with players called player B, player C, and player D. The names of the players in the team are displayed on the tab 208. On the other hand, the name of the enemy character is displayed in the information window 212 arranged at the bottom of the screen.

  On the first battle screen 200 shown in FIG. 4, the tab 208 of the player A himself is opened. The four character characters 210 displayed in the tab respectively correspond to the characters “o”, “su”, “u”, and “sa”. Player A can select one of these four character characters 210. The tab 208 will be described later.

  The setting unit 132 sets the character frame 206 for each battle. In the character frame 206, words having the same number of characters as the number of character frames 206 are set according to the theme of the battle stage. The set word is provided with blanks corresponding to the number of players in the team. Which of the character frames 206 is left blank is randomly determined by the game control unit 116.

  In FIG. 4, two characters “ka” and “me” are set in a character frame 206 for six characters arranged at the center of the screen. The same four characters as the number of players in the team are blank. In the situation shown in FIG. 4, a word (hereinafter referred to as “theme word”) that is actually a six-character theme “Wakame Gohan” is set. However, the theme word is not disclosed to the player. In cooperation with other players, the player who successfully inserted the four characters “wa”, “go”, “ha”, “n” in the blank space has the theme word set in this battle stage as “wakame rice”. Know that.

  When each player of the team of friends fills all the blanks in the character frame 206 by selecting the character characters 210 in order or at the same time, the attack activation unit 134 normally calculates the damage to the enemy character according to the completed word. . However, unlike a normal word, the theme word does not calculate damage to the enemy character 204 even if it is completed, and acts as a one-shot killing technique. Only one theme word is set for each battle stage. When the teammate completes the theme word set in the battle stage, all enemy characters 204 in the battle are wiped out. Searching for theme words is one of the interests of Game L. A method for calculating the damage that a normal word causes to the enemy character 204 will be described later.

  A corresponding character is set in each character character 210. The player selects the character character 210 and inserts it into any of the blanks in the character frame 206, and creates a word in cooperation with other players.

FIG. 5 is a screen diagram of the second battle screen 220 showing the selection operation of the character character 210 by the player during the turn.
During the turn, the player taps one of the four character characters 210 to select it, slides it as it is, and inserts it into one of the blanks in the character frame 206. In the scene of FIG. 5, the player A in the turn selects the character character 210 corresponding to the character “O” and inserts it in the leftmost blank of the character frame 206 in order to complete the word “okame”. doing.

  When the input unit 162 of the game terminal 104 of the turn player detects a tap operation on the character character 210 and a slide operation of the tapped character character 210 on the character frame 206, the game server 102 is connected via the communication unit 150. Send the operation details to. Upon receiving the operation content from the communication unit 110, the setting unit 132 sets the tapped character character 210 to the inserted character frame 206, and transmits the processing result to the game terminal 104 of each player.

  In the scene of FIG. 5, when the player A completes the word “okame”, the display contents of the screens of the game terminals 104 of all the players in the team are synchronized by the above processing, “XX” is displayed.

  The turn control unit 128 gives a time limit to the player during the turn. During the turn, the player can check the time limit with the timer 202. The timer 202 represents the time limit with a gauge. As time passes, the gauge decreases. In the situation of FIG. 5, 1/3 of the time limit given to the player A has elapsed. The timer 202 is displayed only on the battle screen 200 of the player during the turn.

  When the player during the turn does not insert the character character 210 into the character frame 206 within the time limit, the setting unit 132 randomly selects one character character 210 from the character character 210 arranged for the player during the turn. Automatically insert into the blank space inside. When there are a plurality of blanks in the character frame 206, the insertion location of the character character 210 is determined at random.

  When the character character 210 is inserted into any of the blanks in the character frame 206, the turn control unit 128 gives a turn to the next player.

FIG. 6 is a data structure diagram of the character data storage unit 122.
Each character character 210 has a character name, a corresponding character, a corresponding attribute, HP, and possessed skill. All the character characters 210 are registered in advance in the database in the character data storage unit 122 and will not increase later.

  Character characters 210 include character characters 210, “ha”, “pa”, and “one” that correspond one-to-one with characters such as “o”, “su”, “u”, and “sa” arranged for player A in FIG. There is a character character 210 that can be changed to a semi-voiced sound or a cloudy sound such as “B”, and a line character character 210 that includes all vowels that can be combined such as “A line” or “Ka line”. The line character 210 changes to “a”, “i”, “u”, “e”, and “o” each time the player taps the line character 210 in the selected state. The character character 210 that can be changed to a semi-turbid sound or a muddy sound is also changed by the same operation. For example, if the line character 210 is “ka line”, it can be changed to “ka” “ki” “ku” “ke” “ko”, so it is easy to use in various scenes. However, the basic damage given to the enemy character 204 is set low due to the wide application range. On the other hand, the character character 210 that has a one-to-one correspondence with a single character is set to have a higher basic damage to the enemy character 204 because the application range is narrower than the changeable character character 210.

  The character character 210 has an attribute. The enemy character 204 also has attributes. The attribute acts as a variable for calculating damage to the enemy character 204.

  There are five types of attributes: “fire”, “grass”, “water”, “light”, and “darkness”. Of these, the three attributes “fire”, “grass”, and “water” have a three-way relationship. That is, the “fire” attribute is strong to the “grass” attribute and weak to the “water” attribute. The “grass” attribute is strong to the “water” attribute and weak to the “fire” attribute. The “water” attribute is strong to the “fire” attribute and weak to the “grass” attribute. In addition, the “light” attribute and the “darkness” attribute have a conflicting relationship.

  When the character completed by the team of friends includes the character character 210 having the “fire” attribute, the damage to the enemy character 204 having the “grass” attribute is doubled. On the other hand, even if the completed word includes the character character 210 having the “fire” attribute, if the enemy character 204 has the “water” attribute, the damage done is halved.

  There is also a character character 210 having a skill such as “double damage” that doubles the damage given to the enemy character 204 when the character character 210 is used to complete a word.

FIG. 7 is a data structure diagram of the word data storage unit 124.
The words completed by the team are assigned an ID for each word and registered in the database in the word data storage unit 124. The database in the word data storage unit 124 is regularly updated via the Internet 106.

  Similarly to the character character 210, the attribute is set for each word. For example, the word “Kitsune udon” has a “fire” attribute, and the word “okame” has a “light” attribute. When the teammate completes the word with the “fire” attribute, the damage to the enemy character 204 with the “grass” attribute doubles. Further, depending on the battle stage, when the completed word has the “fire” attribute, damage to the enemy character 204 increases.

  On the other hand, even if the ally team completes the word with the “fire” attribute, if the enemy character 204 has the “water” attribute, the damage to be done is halved. Further, depending on the battle stage, when the completed word has the “fire” attribute, damage to the enemy character 204 is reduced.

FIG. 8 is a data structure diagram of the damage data storage unit 126.
The basic damage given to the enemy character 204 is set for each word stored in the word data storage unit 124. In the game L, the square of the number of characters of the completed word is basic damage given to the enemy character 204.

  The attack activation unit 134 activates an attack on the enemy character 204 when all the blanks in the character frame 206 are filled.

  The damage given to the enemy character 204 is calculated based on the damage set for each completed word. The damage given to the enemy character 204 varies depending on the character character 210 used, the completed word, the attribute of the enemy character 204, and the theme of the battle stage.

  For example, the basic damage that the “fire” attribute word “Kitsune udon” gives to the enemy character 204 with the “fire” attribute is 36, which is the square of the number of characters. At this time, when any of the character characters 210 corresponding to the characters “ki” “tsu” “ne” “u” “do” “n” has the “water” attribute, or the power of the word of the “fire” attribute In the case of an enhanced battle stage, damage to the enemy character 204 increases. Also, if any of the character characters 210 corresponding to the characters “ki”, “tsu”, “ne”, “u”, “do”, and “n” has the skill of “double damage”, the damage to the enemy character 204 is increased. 72.

  Furthermore, when a completed character string includes a plurality of words, a combo attack is activated. For example, the character string “Kitsune Udon” includes the words “Kitsune” and “Udon” with a basic damage of 9 and the word “Udon” with a basic damage of 4. Therefore, the basic damage given to the enemy character 204 is 36 + 9 + 9 + 4 = 58.

  When the damage given to the enemy character 204 exceeds the HP of the enemy character 204, the team of friends destroys the enemy character 204. When the enemy character 204 is defeated, the game control unit 116 completes the battle stage and notifies the game terminal 104 of each player of the processing result.

  On the other hand, if the damage given to the enemy character 204 falls below the HP of the enemy character 204, in other words, if the enemy character 204 is not finished by the character string completed after one turn, the player is over the game. . Alternatively, an attack from the enemy character 204 may be received.

  In the process of clearing the quest, the player faces a plurality of battle stages. The quest progresses with the completion of the battle stage, and the team will soon enter the next battle stage. If you capture all the battle stages in the quest, the quest is cleared.

FIG. 9 is a screen diagram of the third battle screen 300 showing a state when the player during the turn opens the tab of the player outside the turn.
The player can check the character characters 210 that other players can select at any time during the battle. FIG. 9 is a hand screen 300 of the player A. The player A in the turn taps and opens the tab 208 of the player B who is given the turn next to him and confirms the four character characters 210 that can be selected. By this operation, the player A knows that the character B corresponding to the characters “A”, “RI”, “O”, and “U” is arranged on the player B.

  Game L is a game in which a maximum of four players cooperate to create a word. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player during the turn to effectively select the character character 210 arranged for the player during the turn by grasping the character character 210 arranged for the player outside the turn.

  In the scene of FIG. 9, the player A in the turn can recognize that the player B can also select to complete the word “okame” by inserting “o” in the leftmost blank of the character frame 206. Since the word only needs to be completed by all the members, if there are other players in the team that have the same choice, that choice may not be chosen by the player. On the other hand, only the player A has the option to insert the word “su” in the blank field to the right of “me” to complete the word “female”. In this way, the player A can conclude that it is reasonable to insert “su” in the blank next to “me”. In this way, the player during the turn can easily make a rational selection considering the entire team by grasping the character characters 210 distributed to the other players by the above operation.

  On the other hand, the player outside the turn can also grasp the character characters 210 distributed to other players in advance. For example, the player C can predict the move of the player B if the character character 210 arranged for the player B is confirmed in advance. In addition, the selection of the character character 210 can be considered based on the prediction.

FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram of processing when confirming the character character 210 arranged for another player.
A series of operations of the player A in the scene of FIG. 9 is realized by the following processing. When the input unit 162 detects a tap (input) to the tab 208 of another player (S10), the player of the tab 208 in which the tap is detected (hereinafter, “disclosure”) is transmitted to the game server 102 via the communication unit 150. An instruction is transmitted to disclose the four character characters 210 arranged on the “target player” (S12). When player A designates player B as a disclosure target player, a disclosure request designating player B is transmitted. The disclosure unit 136 that has received the disclosure instruction from the communication unit 110 checks the four character characters 210 allocated to the disclosure target player (S14), and notifies the disclosure result to the player who has transmitted the disclosure instruction ( S16).

  The output unit 164 that has received the disclosure result from the communication unit 150 opens the tab 208 of the disclosure target player and displays the disclosure result. In FIG. 9, the tab of the player B who is the disclosure target player is opened, and four character characters 210 that can be selected by the player B are displayed.

FIG. 11 is a screen diagram of the fourth battle screen 320 showing an operation when the player outside the turn advises the player during the turn.
The player outside the turn can open the tab 208 of the player during the turn, tap one of the four character characters 210 arranged for the player during the turn, and perform an operation of inserting it into the character frame 206. In FIG. 11, the player B outside the turn opens the tab of the player A during the turn, taps and selects the character character 210 corresponding to the character “O”, and slides it to the leftmost blank of the character frame 206. ing. By this operation, player B who is an off-turn player can give advice or appeal to player A of the player who is turning to select the character character 210 corresponding to “O”.

FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram of processing when the player outside the turn performs an advice operation.
The advice to player A by the above operation of player B in the scene of FIG. 11 is realized by the following processing. The input unit 162 of the game terminal 104a of the player outside the turn performs a tap operation on any one of the four character characters 210 arranged for the player during the turn and an arbitrary character frame 206 of the tapped character character 210. When the slide operation is detected (S20), the operation content is transmitted to the game server 102 via the communication unit 150 (S22). In the case of the above-described example, an operation in which the player B who is an off-turn player selects one character character 210 from the character A 210 arranged on the player A during the turn and inserts it into an arbitrary character frame is detected. When the presentation receiving unit 138 receives the operation content from the communication unit 110, the presentation unit 140 transmits the operation content to the game terminal 104b of the player during the turn through the communication unit 110 (S24). The output unit 164 that has received the operation content from the communication unit 150 displays the input content when a predetermined time, for example, 1/3 of the time limit elapses (S26). Note that the advice of the player B is not displayed to players other than the player A. In the case of the above-described example, when the time limit for the player A who is the player during the turn becomes 2/3, the input content of the player B who is the player outside the turn is displayed on the screen of the player A. With such a control method, the player during the turn can first consider his / her hand calmly without being bothered by the advice of other players, and is displayed on the screen if the hand cannot be determined after a predetermined time. With reference to advice from other players, the move can be determined before the time limit expires. By such a control method, a game property that can receive another person's proposal while making independent judgment as a principle is realized. The operation content is displayed until the time limit becomes zero.

FIG. 13 is a screen view of the fifth battle screen 340 showing a state when the player during the turn receives advice from a player outside the turn.
The output unit 164 of the game terminal 104b of the player during the turn displays a transparent display so that the above-described operation content by the player outside the turn can be identified as an operation of the player selecting the character character 210 and inserting it into the character frame 206. To do. In FIG. 13, the contents of the operation performed by the player B outside the turn in FIG. 11 are displayed in a translucent manner on the hand screen 340 of the player A during the turn.

  The player outside the turn can give a hint to the player during the turn by showing the character character 210 arranged for the player during the turn. On the other hand, the player during the turn can determine the move while referring to proposals from other players. However, the advice from other players is not actually displayed unless the time limit has exceeded a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds. For this reason, the player during the turn can consider his / her move calmly without being bothered by the advice of other players for 5 seconds. If a move cannot be determined after 5 seconds, advice from other players is displayed on the screen. Thereby, before the time limit expires, a move can be determined with reference to advice from other players. Since the player outside the turn is not a party, it may be possible to propose a better move than the player during the turn. The player during the turn may revisit it after referring to the other player's advice after deciding the hand. According to such a control method, since it is possible to receive another person's proposal while taking independent judgment as a principle, it is easy to improve the sense of unity as a team while respecting individual judgment. The player outside the turn is originally in a position to wait for the player's judgment during the turn, but according to the control method, the “right to advise” is given to the player during the turn. For this reason, it becomes easy to be actively involved in the game L even outside the turn.

  In addition, the player during the turn can easily obtain more options by advice from a viewpoint different from that of the player outside the turn. For example, in the scene of FIG. 13, the only option in mind for player A during the turn is “O” to the character box 206 to the right of “Me” to complete the word “Kameo”. It is assumed that the character character corresponding to is inserted. At this time, in order to complete the word “okame”, the player A obtains an option to insert the character character 210 corresponding to “o” in the leftmost character frame 206 with the advice of the player B of the player outside the turn. it can. Considering the damage to the enemy character 204, the word to be completed is better than “Kameo” rather than “Kameo”. This is because, in the scene of FIG. 13, the character box 206 on the right side of “Me” is all blank, so words with a large number of characters such as “okame soba”, “okame udon”, “okameinko”, etc. depending on the player's pointing It is because it is completed. In this way, the player during the turn can easily obtain more options by the advice of the player outside the turn. As a result, teammates can easily choose the best.

  The above operations are effective when you want to unite your will in the team. In particular, it is easy to exert an effect when the player during the turn is a beginner or an indecisive player and the player outside the turn is an advanced player or a player with determination.

  When two or more players outside the turn perform the above operation, every time the presentation receiving unit 138 receives an advice operation, the received operation details of the player are overwritten and displayed on the game terminal 104b of the player during the turn. For example, in the situation of FIG. 13 in which the input content of the player B outside the turn is displayed on the hand screen 340 of the player A during the turn, when the player C newly performs an advice operation, the presentation receiving unit 138 The input contents of C are accepted. At this time, the presentation unit 140 ends the transmission of the input content of the player B to the game terminal 104b of the player A, and transmits the input content of the player C to the game terminal 104b of the player A. Therefore, on the hand screen 340 of the player A during the turn, the input content of the player who has finally accepted the advice operation by the presentation receiving unit 138 is always displayed.

FIG. 14 is a screen view of a sixth battle screen 360 showing an operation when appealing a move scheduled by a player outside the turn to another player.
The player outside the turn taps and selects one character character 210 with his / her tab 208 opened, and inserts it into one of the blanks in the character frame 206, thereby indicating a target move (hereinafter, “selection”). You can appeal to other players. In FIG. 14, the player B outside the turn opens his / her tab, selects the character character 210 corresponding to the character “O”, and slides it to the leftmost blank of the character frame 206.

  The player outside the turn can appeal the selection schedule to the player ahead of himself by the above operation. In the scene of FIG. 14, player B who is an off-turn player appeals that he wants to complete the word “okame” by inserting the character character 210 corresponding to “o” into the leftmost character frame 206. . When this appeal is made, it becomes easier to make the desired selection even when the selection schedule conflicts with another player. In the scene of FIG. 14, the player A who is actually turning can select the character character 210 corresponding to the character “O” (see FIG. 11). However, the appeal of the player B makes it easy to make another selection without sticking to the option of inserting the character character 210 corresponding to the character “o” into the leftmost blank of the character frame 206. For example, if the player A inserts the character character 210 corresponding to the character “O” into the blank space on the right side of “Me” instead of the leftmost blank space in the character string, the word “Kameo” is completed. To do. In addition, the player A is provided with a character character 210 corresponding to the character “sa”. Therefore, the player A inserts the character character 210 corresponding to the character “sa” into the blank on the right of “me”, and either player C or player D inserts “n” into the blank on the right. In this case, the word “Kamesan” is completed. Thus, the appeal of the player who is scheduled to be selected by the non-turn player makes it easy for the entire team to point best.

FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram of processing when the player outside the turn performs an appeal operation scheduled to be selected.
The appeal to other players scheduled to be selected by the above operation of the player B in the scene of FIG. 14 is realized by the following processing. When the input unit 162 of the game terminal 104a of the off-turn player detects a tap operation on the four character characters 210 arranged for the player and a slide operation of the tapped character character 210 to an arbitrary character frame (S30). ), The input content is transmitted to the game server 102 via the communication unit 150 (S32). In the case of the above-described example, an operation in which the player B who is an off-turn player selects one character character 210 from the player B and inserts it into an arbitrary character frame is detected. When the presentation receiving unit 138 receives the input content from the communication unit 110, the presentation unit 140 transmits the input content to the game terminal 104 of each player via the communication unit 110 (S34). The output unit 164 that has received the input content from the communication unit 150 displays the input content when a predetermined time, for example, 1/3 of the time limit imposed on the player during the turn, has elapsed (S36). In the case of the above-described example, when the time limit of the player A who is the player during the turn becomes 2/3, the input content of the player B who is the player outside the turn is displayed on each screen of the player A, the player C and the player D. The operation content is displayed until the time limit of the player during the turn becomes zero.

  The output unit 164 of the game terminal 104 of the other player in the team of friends displays the above input content by the non-turn player when a predetermined time, for example, 1/3 of the time limit of the player during the turn, has passed. The purpose of this function is the same as the function in which the advice of the player outside the turn is displayed on the player's hand screen 340 during the turn. Further, the display mode in this case is the same as the advice of the player outside the turn. The predetermined time may be 5 seconds, for example.

  In addition, when two or more players outside the turn perform the above operation, the player's operation content received by the presentation receiving unit 138 is overwritten and displayed one after another on the game terminal 104b of the player during the turn. This is the same as the case where advice is given. For example, in a situation where the operation content of the player B outside the turn is displayed on the other player's hand screen 340, when the player C newly performs the above operation, the presentation receiving unit 138 receives the operation content of the player C. . At this time, the presentation unit 140 ends the transmission of the operation content of the player B to the game terminal 104 of the other player, and transmits the operation content of the player C to the game terminal 104 of the other player. Therefore, the operation content of the player who has received the above operation last by the presentation receiving unit 138 is always displayed on the hand screen of each player.

FIG. 16 is a screen view of the seventh battle screen 400 showing an operation when the player outside the turn changes the target.
When there are two or more enemy characters 204, the enemy character 204 to be attacked (hereinafter referred to as “target”) can be changed by tapping the enemy character 204 that the player wants to attack during the turn.

  In the game L, the off-turn player can also change the target. FIG. 16 is a hand screen 400 of the player B who is an off-turn player who is playing against an enemy character 204 called “Oshika Brothers”. In FIG. 16, there are two enemy characters 204. Therefore, the target selection frame 214 is displayed on the screen. The enemy character 204 on the left side surrounded by the target selection frame 214 is a target in the situation of FIG. In this situation, when the player B taps the enemy character 204 on the right side with a finger, the target is changed to the enemy character 204 on the right side.

FIG. 17 is a sequence diagram of processing when the player outside the turn performs a target changing operation.
The change of the target by the tap operation of the player B in the scene of FIG. 16 is realized by the following processing. When the input unit 162 detects a tap (input) to the enemy character 204 by the player outside the turn (S40), the game server 102 is changed to the tapped enemy character 204 via the communication unit 150 so as to change the target. An instruction is transmitted (S42). When player B of the off-turn player designates the right enemy character 204 as a target, a target change instruction designating the right enemy character 204 is transmitted. When receiving a target change instruction from the communication unit 110, the target change unit 142 changes the target to the tapped enemy character 204 (S44), and transmits the change result to the game terminal 104 of each player (S46).

FIG. 18 is a screen view of the eighth battle screen 420 showing the display content of the player's hand screen during the turn when the target is changed.
When the target change result is synchronized by the target changing unit 142, the target is also changed on the game terminal 104b of the player during the turn. FIG. 18 shows a hand screen 420 of the player A who is the player during the turn. Since the target is changed by the player B's tap operation, the target selection frame 214 surrounds the enemy character 204 on the right side.

  The above operation is effective when it is desired to efficiently attack the enemy character 204. In particular, when the player during the turn is a beginner and the player outside the turn is an advanced player, it becomes easier to set the target appropriately.

  In addition, the above-described operation enables cooperative play in which a player outside the turn designates a target and the player during the turn concentrates on selecting the character character 210. This cooperative play makes it easier for the team to choose the best.

  When two or more players perform the above operation, the target is the enemy character 204 specified by the player who has received the target change instruction last time by the target change unit 142. For example, when the target change unit 142 receives target change instructions in the order of player B, player C, and player D, the enemy character 204 that was last tapped by the player D becomes the target.

The game system 100 has been described above based on the embodiment.
In this embodiment, the player can check the character character 210 distributed to other players at any time during the battle. This specification allows the player during the turn to select the character character 210 while keeping in mind the character character 210 that can be selected by other players. Further, the off-turn player can grasp the character characters 210 distributed to the other players in advance, and can effectively select the character characters 210 when the turn comes around. As a result, it becomes easier to unify the intentions within the team.

  In the present embodiment, the player outside the turn designates one character character from the four character characters 210 arranged for the player during the turn, and inserts it into the character frame 206. 210 selections can be advised. This specification makes it easier for the player during the turn to effectively select the character character 210 by receiving advice from the player outside the turn, even if the player is a beginner or an indecisive player. In addition, by giving and receiving advice from each other, it becomes easier to unify intentions within the team.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the player outside the turn can appeal the selection schedule to other players by an operation of selecting one character character 210 arranged on the player and inserting it into the character frame 206. With this specification, the player outside the turn can give advice to the player during the turn and can check other players. In addition, the player during the turn can easily select the character character 210 effectively by grasping the finger scheduled by the player behind him. As a result, it becomes easier to unify the intentions within the team.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment and modification, A component can be deform | transformed and embodied in the range which does not deviate from a summary. Various inventions may be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the above embodiments and modifications. Moreover, you may delete some components from all the components shown by the said embodiment and modification.

  Although it has been described that the game system 100 is configured by a plurality of game terminals 104 and one game server 102, some of the functions of the game terminal 104 may be realized by the game server 102, or the functions of the game server 102 may be A part may be assigned to the game terminal 104. In addition, a third device other than the game server 102 or the game terminal 104 may bear a part of the function.

  The game system 100, which is an aggregate of the functions of the game terminal 104 and the game server 102 described in FIG. 2, can be generally grasped as one “information processing apparatus”. How to allocate a plurality of functions necessary for realizing the present invention to one or a plurality of hardware depends on the processing capability of each hardware, the specifications required for the game system 100, and the like. It only has to be decided.

  In the present embodiment, when the player taps the tab 208 of the disclosure target player, the player can confirm the four character characters 210 arranged in the disclosure target player. However, the operation content for confirming the character character 210 arranged in the disclosure target player can be arbitrarily set by the designer. For example, the input unit 162 may transmit a disclosure instruction to the disclosure unit 136 when detecting a double tap on the tab 208 of the disclosure target player. In this case, since the input unit 162 does not transmit a disclosure instruction to the disclosure unit 136 until a double tap on the tab 208 of the disclosure target player is detected, it is easy to prevent an erroneous operation.

  The display method of the four character characters 210 arranged for the disclosure target player can be arbitrarily set by the designer. For example, an icon indicating each player is displayed on the third battle screen 300 instead of the tab, and when the player taps the icon of the disclosure target player, the disclosure unit 136 calls another window and distributes it to the disclosure target player. The displayed character character 210 may be displayed. In this case, since the character character 210 is arranged in a wide window, the player can easily see the character character 210 arranged in the disclosure target player. As a result, the player can easily grasp the character characters 210 arranged for the other players even in the midst of an intense battle.

  In this embodiment, the player outside the turn opens the tab 208 of the player during the turn, designates one of the four character characters 210 arranged for the player during the turn, and inserts it into the character frame 206. The player can be advised to select the character character 210 during the turn. The method for the player outside the turn to give advice to the player during the turn can be arbitrarily set by the designer within a range that can be detected by the input unit. For example, when a player outside the turn screams a character corresponding to the character character 210 to be selected verbally toward the input microphone of a smartphone that is his / her game terminal 104 while the player's tab 208 is open during the turn. In addition, the content screamed by the input unit 162 may be detected and transmitted to the presentation receiving unit 138 via the communication unit 150. In this case, since the operation becomes simple, it becomes easier to give advice to the player more quickly during the turn.

  In the present embodiment, the output unit 164 transparently displays the operation content when the player outside the turn gives advice to the player during the turn or appeals the selection schedule to other players. These operations may be displayed in a manner different from the display of the operation in which the player selects and inserts the character character 210 into the character frame 206 during the turn, and the specific display method can be arbitrarily set by the designer. . For example, the output unit 164 may display the advice given to the player during the turn by the player outside the turn and the operation for the player during the turn to select the character character 210 and insert it into the character frame 206 in different colors. In this case, depending on the player during the turn, it is easy to recognize the advice from the player outside the turn, so that the advice is easily utilized.

  In this embodiment, when two or more players outside the turn give advice to the player during the turn, each time the presentation receiving unit 138 receives the operation content, it is overwritten and displayed on the game terminal 104b of the player during the turn. However, when the advice is given redundantly by a plurality of players outside the turn, the advice may not be overwritten and all the advice may be displayed redundantly on the game terminal 104b of the player during the turn. In this case, the player during the turn can easily select the character character 210 because the player can refer to a plurality of advices when selecting the character character 210.

  In the present embodiment, the player outside the turn selects one character character 210 with his / her tab 208 opened, and inserts it into one of the blanks in the character frame 206 to the other player. I was able to appeal the selection schedule. The operation method for appealing the selection schedule by the player outside the turn can be arbitrarily set by the designer within a range that can be detected by the input unit 162. For example, the player outside the turn may directly enter a character associated with the character character 210 to be selected with a finger or a stylus in the character frame 206 to be inserted. In this case, since the player outside the turn can operate more intuitively, it becomes easier to surely display his intention even during a fast-paced battle.

  In the present embodiment, when two or more players outside the turn perform an operation to appeal the selection schedule, each time the presentation receiving unit 138 receives the operation content, it is overwritten on the game terminal 104 of another player. However, when a plurality of players outside the turn appeals the selection operation by duplication, it is not overwritten and displayed, and all the operation contents may be duplicated and displayed on the game terminals 104 of other players. In this case, since the player can list the intentions of other players, it becomes easier to cooperate.

  In the present embodiment, when the player outside the turn advises the player during the turn or appeals the selection schedule to other players, the output unit 164 is 1 / of the time limit imposed on the player during the turn. When 3 passed, the operation content was displayed. A specific setting time until the output unit displays these operations can be arbitrarily set by the designer. For example, the output unit 164 may start displaying advice from the player outside the turn when the time limit imposed on the player during the turn is 3 seconds remaining. In this case, the player can easily accept the advice during the turn because the player sees the advice in a more frustrating situation.

  In this embodiment, when there are two or more enemy characters 204, the target can be changed by tapping the enemy character 204 that the off-turn player wants to attack. However, the operation for changing the target can be arbitrarily set by the designer in addition to the tap on the enemy character 204. The input unit 162 may transmit a target change instruction when a touch on the enemy character 204 is detected for a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds. In this case, since the input unit 162 does not transmit a disclosure instruction to the disclosure unit 136 until a touch on the enemy character 204 is detected for 5 seconds, an erroneous operation is easily prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the team battle game has been described. However, the present invention can be applied to other types of games such as a shooting game and a rhythm game as well as the team battle game.

  In the present embodiment, the game for smartphones has been described. However, the game system 100 may be realized by a home game machine or a personal computer. It may be an arcade game or a game linked with an arcade game.

  In the present embodiment, a character that can be selected by a player who is given a turn in one turn has been described as one character. However, a player who is given a turn may be able to select two or more characters in one turn. For example, a player who is given a turn may be able to select an integrated character character corresponding to two or more characters in one turn. Further, a player who is given a turn may be able to select two or more character characters corresponding to one or more characters in one turn.
