[Embodiment 1]
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below provides the player with the game play in which the character appears by acquiring the game information from the card corresponding to the character appearing in the game as an example of the game device. An example in which the present invention is applied to a game device will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to cards, and is an article corresponding to an appearance object including a character or an item that appears in the game, and game information is acquired from an article having game information indicating the appearance object, It can be applied to any device capable of providing the game play. That is, the article is not limited to the card, but may be a toy body such as a figure or a medal as long as the game information is recorded. In addition to the characters and items, the appearing objects may include actions (commands, techniques) that can be used for the characters in the game, play fields for playing the game, reproduced music, and the like.

<< Structure of game device >>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a game device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The control unit 101 is, for example, a CPU, and controls the operation of each block included in the game device 100. The control unit 101 reads, for example, an operation program of each block recorded in the recording medium 102 or a program related to a game (provided game) of the present embodiment that provides a game experience in response to payment of consideration, and stores the program in the memory 103. The operation of each block is controlled by expanding and executing.

  The recording medium 102 is, for example, a recording device that permanently records information, such as a built-in memory or an HDD, and may be built in the game device 100 or detachably connected thereto. The recording medium 102 stores various information such as parameters and display images necessary for the operation of each block, in addition to the operation program of each block included in the game device 100. The memory 103 is a volatile storage device such as a RAM. The memory 103 may be used not only as a development area for an operation program of each block, but also as a storage area for intermediate data output in the operation of each block and a work area related to the operation of each block.

  The card DB 104 is a database that manages information (cards) on each of the cards that can be used in playing the provided game. As shown in FIG. 5A, the card information managed in the card DB 104 of the present embodiment is associated with a card ID 501 for identifying a card, and a character ID 502 for identifying a character corresponding to the card and a card are used. It includes management information 503 indicating a history of played game play and the like.

  In the provided game executed by the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the player uses the character corresponding to the card in the game by causing the recognition unit 106, which will be described later, to recognize (scan) a specified number of cards during the game play. It can be registered as a character and can be played against a predetermined fighting character in the fighting game. Further, at the end of the provided game related to one game play, the player can eject a predetermined number of characters as new cards from the characters that appear during the play including the used character. At this time, when the character to be a new card is a used character, that is, a character who already owns the card, the parameter of the character is updated (growth: parameter, character image, etc. is a predetermined growth rule or game for each character). It will be changed according to the result). That is, in the provided game of the present embodiment, when a used character is selected as an ejection target, a new card of the same character (or a different character having a growth relationship) is “derived” from the card used to register the used character. Can be output. In order to make it easier to understand the correspondence of the cards, we will use the cards that have been grown and newly output as used cards as "derivative cards", and the cards used to register the used characters before growth as "basic cards" as necessary. Mention.

  In the card DB 104 of the present embodiment, at least the basic card management information 503 includes information (which may be a card ID) for identifying a derived card so as to show such a correspondence relationship between the cards. Further, the derivative card can output a further derived card when the used character is registered using the derived card during game play and the same used character is output as a card. That is, there can be a plurality of derivative cards for one card in consideration of indirect derivation. As will be described later, in the provided game of the present embodiment, in order to prevent the player from playing the same game development scenario again when the basic card is erroneously used for registration, the management information 503 includes the derivative genealogy. Information is included to identify the most recent derivative card of the. For example, when there is a card B derived from the card A and a card C derived from the card B, the management information 503 related to the card A and the card B is for identifying the card C. Information is stored.

  In the present embodiment, the management information 503 is described as storing information for identifying the latest derivative card of the derivative genealogy, but it is easily understood that the present invention is not limited to this. .. For example, in order to indicate a derivative card, the management information 503 stores information for specifying a derivative card generated using the corresponding card, that is, a derivative card directly derived (immediately after in the derivative genealogy). It may be one. In this case, in order to specify the latest derivative card, it is sufficient to perform processing so as to refer to the management information 503 of the derivative card until the card whose management information 503 does not include information for identifying the derivative card. .. Alternatively, in the management information 503 related to the apex of the derivative lineage, that is, the basic card (parent card) that records a state in which no derivation is performed, information for specifying all derivative cards (child cards) of the derivative lineage and the parent card Information indicating that there is a certain card is stored, and information for identifying the parent card and information indicating that the card is a child card are stored in each management information 503 related to these child cards. Good.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, derivative cards can be output by growing one used character at the end of the provided game related to one game play, that is, one derivative card is generated for one basic card. Although it is described as possible, it is not limited to this. For example, a combination (combination / combination) with another card or a used character may be used as a growth factor for deriving, and a derivative card may be output according to the combination. In this case, since it corresponds to the presence of a plurality of basic cards for one derived card, the management information 503 of each of the plurality of basic cards may store information for specifying the same derived card. ..

  In addition to this, the management information 503 may include, for example, information relating to the game record of the game played on the card, the parameter correction of the character, and the like. The information included in the management information 503 may be referred to during game play or card output.

  In the present embodiment, the card DB 104 is used to manage the card information of all the cards that can be used in the game device 100, including the cards output from the game device 100. Is not limited to this. The card information may be managed for each player who owns the card. In this case, in the player DB that manages information about each player separately from the card DB 104, the management information is associated with the player identification information. 503 may be managed.

  The character DB 105 manages various information (character information) about each of the characters appearing in the provided game. Character information managed in the character DB 105 of this embodiment is associated with a character ID 511 for identifying a character as shown in FIG. 5B, and when the character appears in the provided game and is displayed on the game screen. It includes a character image 512 used for composition / generation of the screen, and growth information 513 indicating the transition of the growth process defined for the character. The character image 512 may be a different image depending on the growth stage of the character, and in this case, the image displayed on the game screen and the card displayed on the output card are also associated with each growth stage. It may be defined as a variable.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, the card DB 104 and the character DB 105 are shown as the configurations that the game device 100 has, but information that may be referred to in a plurality of game devices managed by these databases is recorded in each game device. You don't have to. That is, at least one of the card DB 104 and the character DB 105 may be configured as an external device such as a server communicatively connected to the game device 100 via a communication unit 110 described later. In this case, even if the player is a game device that is different from the game device that generated the derivative card, the player can enjoy a game experience with improved convenience in various processes described below when performing game play using the basic card. ..

  The recognition unit 106 is a card relating to any character based on the information acquired from the card by scanning by an information acquisition device such as a card reader provided as an internal configuration of the game device 100 or connected to the game device 100. Recognize if there is. For example, the recognition unit 106 refers to the card DB 104 based on the card ID 501 acquired from the recognition target card and acquires the card information (character ID 502 and management information 503) related to the card. The recognition unit 106 also acquires the character information of the corresponding character based on the obtained character ID 502. The character information acquired by the recognition unit 106 may be stored in the memory 103 as the used character information together with the card ID and the management information, or by applying a predetermined conversion process.

  The drawing unit 107 is, for example, a drawing device such as a GPU, and performs drawing processing of various screens related to the provided game. The drawing unit 107 draws the game screen to which the character image of the used character is applied as the game screen during the play of the provided game, for example. In addition to the game screen, the drawing unit 107 may also generate image data that is the print content of the card output after the game is played.

  The display unit 108 is a display device included in the game device 100, such as an LCD, and displays the game screen generated by the drawing unit 107 at a predetermined frame rate to allow the player to experience the game related to the provided game. ..

  The output unit 109 outputs a card that can be used in the game play of the provided game by issuing an output command to a printing device such as a printer provided as an internal configuration of the game device 100 or connected to the game device 100. To achieve. The output command is issued together with the image data to be printed on the card, and the printing device prints the image data on a predetermined print medium (card paper / roll paper etc.) and can be acquired by the player via a predetermined discharge mechanism. To eject the card.

  The communication unit 110 is a communication interface with other devices included in the game device 100. The game device 100 can connect to another game device that provides the provided game with a similar configuration or a predetermined server via the predetermined network by the communication unit 110 to exchange information. The communication method via the communication unit 110 may be performed according to a predetermined standard, and which standard is used or communication is wired / wireless is not particularly limited.

  The operation input unit 111 is, for example, an operation input interface included in the game device 100, such as a button or a direction indicating stick. When the operation input unit 111 detects that an operation input has been input to the operation input interface, the operation input unit 111 outputs a control signal corresponding to the operation input to the control unit 101.

<< Processing at output >>
Hereinafter, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment having such a configuration, a specific process of the output process related to the card output performed for one game play will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 101 reading out a corresponding processing program stored in the recording medium 102, expanding the processing program in the memory 103, and executing the program. It should be noted that the present output process will be described as being started, for example, when the battle game with a predetermined battle character is finished in the provided game.

  In S201, the control unit 101 determines whether or not a character (output character) for card output is selected. In the provided game of the present embodiment, the player can select a character to be card-outputted from the used character registered by the player in the game play and the opponent character who is the opponent of the opponent game. When it is determined that the output character has been selected, the control unit 101 moves the process to S202, and when it is determined that the output character has not been selected, the process of this step is repeated.

  In S202, control unit 101 determines whether or not the character selected as the output character is the used character. That is, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the output character is selected from the used characters registered by the player using the corresponding card during the game play. When the control unit 101 determines that the output character is the used character, the process proceeds to S203, and when the output character is not the used character, the process proceeds to S205.

  In S203, the control unit 101 updates the information of various parameters stored in the memory 103 for the output character, assigns a new card ID (output card ID), and outputs the output card information (derivation) of the output character. Card information) is generated. Then, the control unit 101 stores the generated output card information in the card DB 104. The output card information has the same structure as the card information. That is, the control unit 101 generates output card information having the output card ID as the card ID 501, the character ID of the output character as the character ID 502, and the management information 503 based on the updated parameter information. When it is determined that the output character changes to a different type of character due to derivation, the character ID of the changed character and the various parameters are acquired from the character DB 105 when updating the information of the various parameters, and output based on the information. Card information may be constructed.

  In S204, the control unit 101 changes the management information 503 stored in the card DB 104 for the used character selected as the output character. In this step, when the derived card is generated based on the used character, the management information 503 managed in the card DB 104 regarding the card related to the used character includes information for specifying the derived card (output card). Additions are made. Specifically, the control unit 101 requests the card DB 104 to update the card information so as to add the output card ID as information for specifying the derived card to the management information 503 of the corresponding used character. In addition, when other card information associated with the derivative genealogy is managed in the card DB 104, that is, the card ID of the card used for registering the used character is used as the management information as information for identifying the derived card. When the card information included in 503 is managed, the control unit 101 may make a similar update request for the card information.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S202 that the output character is not the used character, that is, the fighting character, the control unit 101 generates output card information to which the output card ID is assigned based on the character information of the selected fighting character in S205. To do. Then, the control unit 101 stores the generated output card information in the card DB 104.

  In step S206, the control unit 101 causes the drawing unit 107 to generate image data related to the output card information. Further, the control unit 101 controls the output unit 109 so that the card related to the generated image data is ejected from the printing device.

  By executing the present output process in this way, it is possible to associate information for specifying the derivative card with the basic card that once generated the derivative card.

"registration process"
Next, a registration process for registering a used character in one game play using a card usable for the provided game, including a card printed out by the output process, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 101 reading out a corresponding processing program stored in the recording medium 102, expanding the processing program in the memory 103, and executing the program. It should be noted that the main registration process will be described as being started, for example, when the payment for one game play is paid and the process of the provided game reaches the sequence for preparing the player of the competitive game.

  In S301, the recognition unit 106 determines whether or not the card registered as the used character has been scanned. That is, the recognition unit 106 determines whether or not the information about the provided game is acquired from the usable card. If it is determined that the card has been scanned, the recognition unit 106 moves the process to S302, and if it is determined that the card has not been scanned, the process of this step is repeated.

  In S302, the recognition unit 106 acquires corresponding card information from the card DB 104 based on the card ID included in the information acquired from the card, and stores it in the memory 103 as detected card information. Then, the recognition unit 106 refers to the detected card information and determines whether the scanned card is a card for which a derivative card has already been generated. Specifically, the recognition unit 106 makes the determination in this step based on whether or not the management information 503 of the detected card information includes information for identifying the derivative card. If the recognition unit 106 determines that the scanned card is a card for which a derivative card has already been generated, the processing proceeds to S303, and if it is determined that the card has not been generated for a derivative card. Moves the process to S304.

  In S303, the recognition unit 106 acquires the card information of the derived card from the card DB 104 based on the information (card ID) for identifying the derived card, and updates the detected card information stored in S302.

  In S304, the recognition unit 106 acquires corresponding character information from the character DB 105 based on the character ID 502 of the detected card information and stores it in the memory 103 as used character information. At this time, the recognizing unit 106 converts the acquired character information based on the management information 503 of the detected card information in order to reflect the parameter change based on the growth status, and stores the converted character information as the used character information. Good. Although the character information includes the character image 512, the recognition unit 106 may expand the character image 512 into a state in which it can be used for the drawing process by the drawing unit 107 and store it in the memory 103. By doing this, for a card for which a derivative card has already been generated, the character information after derivation is assigned and registered for the scanned card, and the image of the character after derivation for that card is also displayed on the game screen. It can be configured to be displayed correspondingly.

  In S305, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the specified number of used character information items that are determined to be usable for game play are registered. The control unit 101 moves the process to S306 when determining that the specified number of used character information has been registered, and returns the process to S301 when determining that the specified number of used character information has not been registered. When the player inputs an operation to register the specified number of used character information, such as when the player does not own the specified number of cards, the control unit 101 performs the process regardless of the determination of this step. May be moved to S306.

  In step S306, the control unit 101 shifts the sequence of the provided game to the sequence of starting the competitive game, and completes the main registration process.

  By doing this, when the used character is registered using a card that does not have a derived card, the character information based on the character ID obtained from the basic card is registered as the used character information, and the derived card is When the used character is registered using the existing card, the character information acquired based on the character ID related to the derived card, which is different from the character ID acquired from the basic card, is registered as the used character information. It That is, after the derivative card is generated, the player can play the game from the state in which the derivative card is output, if there is a corresponding basic card, so that it is not necessary to replay the game for outputting the derivative card. .. In addition, even if you have a similar card with a derivative relationship, the player can play the game with the latest derivative card, so if you accidentally scan an unintended (pre-derivative) card There is no need to register characters again.

  In the card DB 104 of this embodiment, the management information 503 includes information for identifying the latest derivative card as described above. According to this configuration, when a card other than the latest derivative card in the derivative genealogy is scanned, the character ID of the latest derivative card can be uniquely acquired as the character ID of the used character. On the other hand, when a basic card containing a derivative card is scanned, if the game character is playable based on the card derived and output after the basic card, at least the derivative card is output from the basic card. The situation of playing the game for playing again is avoided. That is, in the implementation of the present invention, when a card including a derivative card is scanned, it is not always necessary to acquire the character information based on the character ID of the "latest" derivative card. For example, when there are a plurality of cards that are directly and indirectly derived from the scanned basic card and output, a character corresponding to any one of the plurality of derived cards can be set as a used character. May be configured as.

  Further, for example, enabling game play by using a derivative card related to a character grown by another player may hinder the player's favorable game experience from the viewpoint of so-called game balance and game story understanding. Therefore, as described above, the player DB is used to manage the information of the owned card for each player, and when a card owned by another player is used, different from the corresponding character of the card, for example, an initial parameter is set. The game play may be permitted by registering one selected character as a used character from a predetermined character group (not owned by any player). The information of the card owned by the player does not need to be managed as the player DB, and is recorded in a predetermined recording medium different from a character card such as an IC card configured so that the player can record the battle history and the like. Therefore, the inquiry may be made during the registration process.

[Embodiment 2]
In the above-described first embodiment, when the card including the derived card is used for registering the used character, the character corresponding to the latest derived card is registered as the used character.

  On the other hand, two types of characters that have a derivative relationship (connected by derivative genealogy) that have become different in appearance during the process of growth cannot be judged by just looking at the appearance of the card design. There is a nature. That is, there is a possibility that the player may scan a plurality of cards having the same latest derivative card at the time of registration of the used character due to the different appearances. In such a case, in the configuration illustrated in the first embodiment, a plurality of characters related to the latest derivative card are registered as used characters, which may cause a collapse of the game balance that hinders a favorable game experience.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration will be described in which when the use character is registered based on a plurality of cards having a derivation relationship, the same character is prevented from being registered as a plurality of use characters.

  The game device 100 according to the present embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, and the description of the functional configuration is omitted. On the other hand, when the card information managed by the card DB 104 of the present embodiment is a basic card, the management information 503 includes not only information for specifying the latest derivative card, but also a derivative card. Information indicating that the card is a derivative card is included in the management information 503.

"registration process"
Hereinafter, the registration process of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In addition, in the registration processing of the present embodiment, steps that perform the same processing as the registration processing of the first embodiment will be assigned the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted. Only the steps are explained.

  After determining in S301 that the card has been scanned, the recognizing unit 106 acquires card information corresponding to the card ID acquired from the card from the card DB 104 in S401. The recognition unit 106 also refers to the management information 503 of the acquired card information and determines whether the scanned card is a derivative card or a basic card in which the derivative card exists. If it is determined that the scanned card is a derived card or a basic card, the recognition unit 106 moves the process to S402, and if it is determined to be another card, the recognition unit 106 moves the process to S304.

  In S402, the recognition unit 106 determines whether or not a card having a derivative relationship with the scanned card has been used for registering a used character for game play. That is, if the card having a derivative relationship with the card scanned this time was used for registering the character used in the game play, the character information used for the latest derivative card is already available. It has been stored. Therefore, for example, the recognition unit 106 has acquired the card information based on the information (card ID) for specifying the derivative card included in the management information 503 of the acquired card information, for the already registered card. The determination in this step may be performed based on. If the recognition unit 106 determines that the card having a derivative relationship with the scanned card has been used for registration of the character used in the game play, the processing proceeds to S403, and if it is determined that the card is not used, the processing proceeds to S303. Move to.

  In S403, the recognition unit 106 acquires corresponding card information from the card DB 104 based on the card ID included in the information acquired from the card. Then, the recognition unit 106 performs a lottery process for randomly selecting a character to be registered as a use character from the character group determined based on the character ID 502 of the acquired card information. The lottery process may be performed for all character IDs registered in the character DB 105, for example, for the character ID group obtained by excluding the character ID 502 of the acquired card information and the character IDs of the characters having a derivative relationship thereof. Further, for example, from all the character IDs that belong to the category (rank, rarity, race, attribute, etc.) into which the character having the character ID 502 of the acquired card information is classified, the character ID 502 of the acquired card information and the characters that are in a derivative relationship thereof It may be performed for a character ID group excluding the character ID. Further, for example, the character ID group may be performed by excluding the character ID 502 of the acquired card information and the character IDs of the characters having a derivative relationship from the character ID group determined in advance as the target of the lottery process. .. Further, it goes without saying that the character group to be the target of the lottery process may be similarly defined based on the character ID 502 of the card information acquired for the latest derivative card.

  The recognition unit 106 acquires corresponding character information from the character DB 105 based on one character ID obtained as a result of the lottery process, and stores it in the memory 103 as used character information. At this time, since the character determined by the lottery process is a character determined not based on the scanned card, the recognition unit 106 does not have to perform the conversion such as S304. After storing the used character information, the recognition unit 106 moves the process to S305.

  By doing so, even if the use character is registered based on a plurality of cards having a derivation relationship, the same character is registered as the use character, which is a factor for reducing the interest. It can be excluded to ensure a good game experience.

[Modification]
In the above-described second embodiment, when a plurality of cards having a derivation relationship are used for registration of the used character, the used character based on the card is determined by the lottery process, except for one card. However, the determination of the used character based on the lottery process may be performed without being limited to such conditions.

  For example, if a card with a derived card is used, the used character may be registered by a lottery process regardless of whether the used character is registered using another card having a derivative relationship. Good. At this time, the character group that is the target of the lottery process may be determined by excluding the characters corresponding to the scanned card or its derivative card, or may not be excluded. When excluded, it is possible to ensure the effect of not replaying a predetermined game as in the first and second embodiments, and it is possible to make the player determine that the derived card is present.
