Description

  The present invention relates to a program and a terminal.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a timing determination game (music game) in which a player inputs a marker according to the rhythm of music. In the game device for such a music game, the determination reference timing is predetermined in accordance with the rhythm of music and is converted into data. Then, a process of evaluating the player's input is performed based on the degree of deviation between the predetermined determination reference timing and the player's input timing.

  In such a game, score calculation is performed based on the player's input evaluation with respect to the marker, and the player enjoys the game play with the goal of high score (see Patent Document 1).

JP, 2010-88684, A

  By the way, in such a game, a player constructs a unit (deck) composed of a plurality of characters to be set as a character for the game, and causes each character to appear in the game space to perform the game processing. For example, the dance motion or image of each character forming the unit and the singing voice data of the character are reproduced in association with each other, and the input of the player is evaluated.

  Usually, the singing voice data of the character prepared in advance for one music piece is one. For example, when reproducing a song "ABC" for a unit composed of five characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, singing voice data of each character PA, PB, PC, PD, PE is prepared. , Singing voice data of other characters (for example, the character PF) is not prepared. That is, on the management side, each character that constitutes a unit for each music piece is defined in advance, and singing voice data in which a singing voice of a voice actor determined for each character is recorded is prepared in advance.

  In addition, the player can acquire a new character by a predetermined lottery process (so-called gasha) or when it is determined that the game result is clear. However, when the music that the player wants to play is “ABC”, the player often cannot own the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE of the singing voice data.

  Therefore, when the player plays the music "ABC" in a situation where the player cannot own the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE of the singing voice data of the music "ABC", a different character (for example, the character PF) is used. , PG, PH, PI, PJ) to construct a unit and play the game.

  However, when the game of the song "ABC" is started, the singing voice data for the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE is reproduced, so the motions and images of the characters PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ are displayed on the game screen. When is played, it does not match the singing voice, which causes a feeling of strangeness.

  Further, if the player tries to collect the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE for the song “ABC”, the game play and the lottery process are repeated, which takes time. Also, since new music is provided according to the progress of the game, when the player's game is not progressing so much, the character owned by the player (for example, the character PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ, etc.). It may not be possible to play the game of the music of the singing voice data.

  Further, in such a game, when it is determined that the result of the game play by each character PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ which constitutes a unit is clear, conventionally, each character PF, PG, PH, PI, The parameters of PJ could be increased. Since the character parameters are reflected in the score calculation, the player needs to increase the character parameters in order to aim for a high score.

  Then, for example, when the player newly obtains the character PA having the singing voice data of the song “ABC” and tries to replace the character PF with the character PA among the PF, PG, PH, PI, and PJ that form the unit. The character PA must be increased from the initial value parameter, and the game play needs to be repeated to increase the parameter of the character PA, which requires time and effort.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to reproduce a music data and evaluate a player's input with respect to a marker even if the player replaces a character. , It is to provide a program and a terminal capable of minimizing the influence on the score calculated in the game.

Therefore, the player can obtain a pleasant sensation as if he/she is virtually playing the music by inputting the operation in accordance with the timing of the marker 6 exactly overlapping the detection area 7 in accordance with the rhythm of the music.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the evaluation display body 3 showing the input evaluation of the player may be displayed in the lower center part of the game screen W4, or the evaluation display body 3 may be displayed around the marker 6. ..

3.2 Description of Input Evaluation The terminal of the present embodiment evaluates the input of the player as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the terminal evaluates the player's input with respect to the markers corresponding to the respective characters PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ.

  For example, in the present embodiment, when the operation input position of the player is detected in the detection area 7 of each character, the marker based on the musical score data is searched for based on the elapsed time from the start of the game when the operation input position is detected. Then, the success or failure of the input is determined based on the time difference (temporal deviation) between the determination reference timing of the marker and the input timing of the player. For example, in this embodiment, the smaller the time difference, the higher the evaluation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when evaluating the time difference between the determination reference timing and the input timing, a plurality of time difference widths are provided before and after the determination reference timing, the evaluation is assigned to each time difference width, and the corresponding time difference is assigned. Read width evaluation.

  More specifically, referring to FIG. 5, a predetermined period is provided at the determination reference timing. Then, the predetermined period is further divided into periods t1 to t4 according to four evaluation stages, and it is determined whether the input timing of the player belongs to the periods t1 to t4, or the period, or does not belong. The input evaluation of the player is performed based on the determination result.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the period t1 is a period that is the same as or substantially coincides with the determination reference timing T0, and is set, for example, before and after the period t1 based on the determination reference timing T0. There is. Further, the period t2 is set to a period before and after (t1+t2) period (excluding the t1 period) with reference to the determination reference timing T0. Further, the period t3 is set, for example, to a period before and after (t1+t2+t3) (excluding the periods t1 and t2) with respect to the determination reference timing T0. Further, the period t4 is set to, for example, a period before and after (t1+t2+t3+t4) (except the periods t1, t2, and t3) with reference to the determination reference timing T0.

  For example, with respect to the determination reference timing T0, when the player's input timing is acquired in the period t1, the player's input at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as “Perfect”. When the player's input timing is acquired in the period t2, the player's input at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as “Great”. Further, when the input timing of the player is acquired in the period t3, the input of the player at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as “Nice”. Further, when the input timing of the player is acquired in the period t3, the input of the player at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as “Bad”.

  When the player's input timing is acquired during a period other than the predetermined period, or when the player's input is not acquired during the predetermined period, the player's input at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as “Miss”.

  In the present embodiment, when the input timing of the player is “Perfect”, “Great” or “Nice”, it is determined that the input timing of the player is successful, and the input timing of the player is “Bad” or “Miss”. In the case of, it is determined that the input timing of the player has failed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of markers 6 may be used. Although any type of marker is a marker that indicates the determination reference position or the determination reference timing, there is a marker that requires a long press, a marker that indicates the flick direction, or the like.

  For example, in the case of a marker that requires a long press, a marker indicating the determination reference timing of contact start and the determination reference timing (release timing) of contact end is displayed, and evaluation based on the operation input timing of the player and the determination reference timing of contact start is performed. Is successful, and whether the evaluation based on the timing (release timing) at which the player's touch is no longer detected and the contact end determination reference timing is successful is determined.

  For the marker indicating the flick direction, a marker indicating the determination reference direction is displayed to determine whether the flick direction (operation input direction) is the determination reference direction, and the flick direction (operation input direction) is the determination reference direction. If it is, it is determined that the input is successful.

3.3 Description of Number of Successful Successes (Combo Value) Next, the combo of the present embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the number of consecutive successes K (combo value) of each player is set for each player. In the present embodiment, by setting the number of consecutive successes K of an individual, the player's motivation for the game is increased, and the player is motivated to continuously succeed.

  In this embodiment, the initial value of the continuous success count K is set to 0 at the start of the game. Further, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the player's input to the marker is successful, the continuous success number K is counted so as to be incremented by 1, and when it is determined that the player's input is unsuccessful, A process of resetting the number of consecutive successes K to an initial value (0) (returning process) is performed.

  Then, in the present embodiment, control for increasing the score of the player is performed based on the number of consecutive successes.

4. Description of Method for Controlling Parameters of Setting Frame In the present embodiment, a unit corresponding to a music piece is provided with a plurality of setting frames for setting a character, and parameters of the plurality of setting frames are increased based on input evaluation. Adopt a method that reflects the parameters of the setting frame in the score. This is because even if the player replaces the character, the influence on the score can be minimized.

  In the conventional technique, when there is a song “ABC” in which a singing voice of a specific character PA, PB, PC, PD, PE) prepared by the administrator in advance is recorded, the player must play the song “ABC” in order to play the song. When the player tries to collect the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE that match the singing voice of the determined character, but if the player does not own the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, another character is selected. I used to play games.

In addition, in the conventional technique, the higher the parameter of the character of the unit, the higher the score of the music game, so the player has to increase the parameter of the character in order to aim for the high score. It took a long time to play the game.

  Therefore, for example, when the target character PA is newly obtained and the characters are replaced and the character PA is put in the unit, the score of the character PA is temporarily lowered because the parameter of the character PA is the initial value. A situation occurs, and the parameters of the new character PA have to be trained from the initial values.

  However, according to the present embodiment, the parameter of the setting frame is grown, and the score calculation is performed according to the value of the parameter of the setting frame. Therefore, even if the character is replaced, the influence on the score can be minimized. it can. That is, the player can minimize the situation in which the score is lowered even if a new character is put in the unit by training the parameters of the setting frame. Hereinafter, an example of performing score calculation by controlling the parameters of the setting frame will be described in detail.

4.1 Character Information FIG. 6 shows an example of character information owned by the player. In the present embodiment, the card ID, the attribute (type) of the character, and the rarity are stored in the storage unit of the terminal in association with each character ID (character name, character identification information).

  The “character ID” indicates identification information of the character given to the player.

  The "card ID" indicates the identification information of the card corresponding to the character given to the player. In this embodiment, a plurality of cards may exist for the same character ID. In addition, a plurality of cards having different rarities or attributes may exist for the same character ID. For example, for the same character PA, a card with a rarity of "1" and a card ID of "C101" and a card with a rarity of "2" and a card ID of "C102" may exist.

  The "rare degree" indicates the rarity value of the character. For example, a lower number indicates a lower rarity value, and a higher number indicates a higher rarity value.

  In addition, the “attribute” indicates the characteristic of the character, and one of “cute”, “cool”, and “passion” is set for each character.

  The terminal may send and receive character information from the server at a given timing, and the terminal and the server may synchronize the character information. That is, when the terminal updates the latest character information, the terminal sends the updated content to the server. The server stores and manages character information having the same contents as the terminal.

  Further, the player of this embodiment may own a plurality of the same character IDs.

4.2 Description of Unit Information FIG. 7 shows an example of unit information. In this embodiment, the music ID, the setting frame ID, the experience value of the setting frame, the level of the setting frame, the character ID set in the setting frame, and the main character ID are associated with each unit ID (unit identification information). Is stored in the storage unit of the terminal.

The terminal may transmit/receive unit information from the server at a given timing, and the unit information may be synchronized between the terminal and the server. That is, when the terminal updates the latest unit information, the terminal sends the updated contents to the server. The server stores and manages unit information having the same contents as the terminal.

4.3 Description of Setting Frame Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, one unit is provided with a predetermined number of setting frames. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of setting frames for one unit is five, but it may be one or may be two or more.

  In the present embodiment, the setting frame ID, the experience value of the setting frame, the level of the setting frame, and the character ID are associated and stored in the storage unit of the terminal.

  The “experimental value of the setting frame” and the “level of the setting frame” are both examples of the parameters of the setting frame, and are parameters indicating the progress degree of the setting frame. A predetermined upper limit is set for the experience value of the setting frame and the level of the setting frame.

  The “experience value of the setting frame” increases when the game result is determined to be a predetermined result (clear). Further, when the “experience value of the setting frame” reaches a predetermined upper limit value, “1” is added to the “level of the setting frame” and the “experience value of the setting frame” is updated to the initial value (0). I do.

  The terminal of the present embodiment receives a selection of a character from a plurality of characters owned by the player based on an input from the player, and sets the selected character in the setting frame.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the setting screen W8 of the unit UA. For example, the terminal associates setting frame IDs=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with setting frame 1 (setting frame ID=1), setting frame 2 (setting frame ID=2), setting frame from the left of the screen. 3 (setting frame ID=3), setting frame 4 (setting frame ID=4), and setting frame 5 (setting frame ID=5) are displayed.

  Further, the terminal displays the parameters of the setting frames of the respective setting frames 1 to 5 (experience value of the setting frame, level of the setting frame).

  Then, a character (character ID) is set in each of the setting frames 1 to 5. For example, the terminal sets the character PF in the setting frame 1, the character PG in the setting frame 2, the character PH in the setting frame 3, and the character PI in the setting frame 4 based on the player's input. , The character PJ is set in the setting frame 5.

  The terminal of the present embodiment can change each character set in each of the setting frames 1 to 5 to another character owned by the player based on the input by the player. For example, when the terminal receives a change from the character PF of the setting frame 1 to the character PA based on the input of the player, the terminal sets the character PA in the setting frame 1.

4.4 Player Information The server of this embodiment manages player information for each player. Further, the terminal of this embodiment receives player information from the server at a given timing before the start of the game.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the server stores parameters such as the stamina value and the in-game currency as player information in association with the player ID.

  The “stamina value” is a parameter that increases with the lapse of time, up to an upper limit value that is predetermined for each player. For example, 1 is added to the stamina value every 5 minutes.

  In the present embodiment, when starting one game (game of one song), the consumed stamina value associated with the song ID is subtracted from the stamina value of the player. For example, if the stamina value of the player P1 is 40, the consumption stamina required for playing the song "ABC" is "11", and if the game is started with the song "ABC", the stamina value of the player is Is updated to "39".

  The stamina value can be increased by the player using the item for recovering stamina. For example, without waiting for the time until the stamina value recovers (increases), the player can immediately play the game of the next song by using the item for recovering the stamina.

  The “in-game currency” is a currency in the game, and a predetermined currency is given to the player by a privilege or a billing process. For example, a player can subtract (spend) a predetermined amount from the in-game currency to acquire an item.

  The player information may include information other than the stamina value and the like.

4.5 Selection of Music and Difficulty Level As shown in FIG. 10, the server according to the present embodiment associates music data (music name or music identification information) with music data (for example, MP3 data), musical score data. , The consumption stamina and the attribute are stored in the storage unit as music information. Then, the server transmits the music information to the terminal in response to the request from the terminal.

  The musical score data defines the determination reference timing (time from the start of the game) and the length of the note (note type) in association with the marker ID. In the present embodiment, five levels of difficulty are provided for one song, and music score data for each difficulty is prepared in association with the song ID.

  Further, as the “attribute” of the music, any one of “all types”, “cute”, “cool”, and “passion” is set. “All types” means that all attributes of “cute”, “cool”, and “passion” are supported.

  In the present embodiment, when the "attribute" of the music and the "attribute" of the character of the unit match, the score is controlled to increase. When the "attribute" of the music is "all types", it is determined that all "attributes" of the character match.

  Further, the degree of difficulty is in five levels from 1 to 5, and a lower number means a lower degree of difficulty, and a higher number means a higher degree of difficulty.

  In the present embodiment, before the game starts, the selection of the music to be played is accepted based on the selection input by the player.

  Further, the “singing voice character” is a character predetermined by the management side. When the music is reproduced, the singing voice data of the singing voice character is reproduced.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of a music selection screen displayed on the display unit of the terminal.

  In the present embodiment, the information, which is the information of the selected music, the attribute, the center of the screen, and the lower part of the screen are displayed. Also, the consumption stamina of the selected song is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  Further, in the present embodiment, before the game starts, the selection of the difficulty level of the selected music is accepted based on the selection input of the player.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 11, one song (for example, “ABC”) is selected from a plurality of songs, the attribute of the song is “all types”, the consumption stamina is “11”, and the difficulty level is set. Is selected by "1". Further, the example of FIG. 11 indicates that the singing voice characters of the music are PA, PB, PC, PD and PE.

  Then, when the player receives the operation input (touch input) of “decide”, the selected music and the difficulty level are determined as the music and the difficulty level of the game to be started.

4.6 Confirmation of Unit As shown in FIG. 12, in the present embodiment, the unit corresponding to the selected song is displayed on the game screen W12.

  That is, the terminal of the present embodiment displays the unit UA (unit ID is “UA”) corresponding to the song “ABC” (the song ID is “ABC”), and the setting corresponding to the song “ABC” (unit UA) is displayed. Each character (each character PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ) set (stored) in the frames 1 to 5 is displayed.

  Then, when the terminal receives a game start input of the player (for example, when a touch input of the game start button area is received), the game is started and score calculation is performed.

4.7 Game Processing In the present embodiment, when a game start input is received, the game is started and parameters (score etc.) are calculated.

  That is, in the present embodiment, a process of evaluating the player's input with respect to the markers corresponding to the characters PF to PJ set in the setting frames 1 to 5 is performed.

(1) Description of Score First, the score calculation of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the score is calculated based on the player's input evaluation with respect to the marker corresponding to each setting frame, the type of the character set in the setting frame, and the parameter of the setting frame. ..

  A specific example will be described in which the unit UA (characters PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ) corresponding to the song "ABC" performs the calculation.

  First, the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 of the unit UA will be described. At the start of the game, the score of the character PF is set to an initial value (0 point), and after the game starts, the player for each marker for the character PF. Points corresponding to the evaluation based on the input of are added to the score of the character PF.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, since each marker for the character PF is displayed along the reference line 4-1 corresponding to the character PF, the player detects the marker displayed along the reference line 4-1. It is input by carefully considering the timing matching the area 7-1.

Then, for the marker corresponding to the character PF, the terminal adds 500 points to the score of the character PF when the evaluation of "Perfect" is determined, and 100 points when the evaluation of "Great" is determined. In addition to the score of the character PF, 50 points are added to the score of the character PF when "Nice" is evaluated, and 0 points are added to the score of the character PF when "Bad" or "Miss" is evaluated. Is added.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the score is increased according to the level of the setting frame.

  For example, when the level of the setting frame 1 is in the range of 1 to 10, the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient D (for example, D=1.0). Further, when the level of the setting frame 1 is in the range of 11 to 20, the coefficient D is increased (for example, updated to D=1.1), and the coefficient is added to the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1. Multiply by D (eg, D=1.1). When the level of the setting frame 1 is in the range of 21 to 30, the coefficient D is further increased (for example, updated to D=1.2), and the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is set. Multiply by a factor D (eg D=1.2). That is, the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is increased according to the level of the setting frame 1.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the score may be increased according to the rarity level (character type) of the character set in the setting frame.

  For example, when the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is “1”, the score of the character PF is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient E (for example, E=1.0). When the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is “2”, the coefficient E is increased (for example, E=1.1 is updated), and the coefficient E is added to the score of the character PF. Multiply by (E=1.1). Further, when the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is “3”, the coefficient E is increased (for example, updated to E=1.2) and the coefficient E is added to the score of the character PF. Multiply (E=1.2). That is, the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is increased according to the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1.

  Similarly, the score of the character PG set in the setting frame 2 of the unit UA, the score of the character PH set in the setting frame 3 of the unit UA, the score of the character PI set in the setting frame 4 of the unit UA, the unit UA The score of the character PJ set in the setting frame 5 is also calculated based on the input evaluation, the rarity of the character, and the level of the setting frame, similarly to the score calculation of the character PF.

  Then, after the game ends, the terminal finally calculates the total value of the scores of the characters PF, PG, PH, PI, and PJ that form the unit UA, and the total value is calculated for the music (game, stage). The score will be used.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, control is performed to further increase the player's score based on the number of consecutive consecutive successes in one game. For example, a coefficient (the coefficient is 1 or more) that becomes higher as the value of the number of consecutive successes is set, and the score of each character is multiplied by the coefficient.

  Further, in the present embodiment, control for increasing the score may be performed based on the attribute of the music and the attribute of each character of the unit. For example, if there is a character that matches the attribute of the music, the score of the character may be increased.

(2) Calculation of Parameter of Setting Frame In the present embodiment, the parameter of the setting frame (for example, the level and setting of the setting frame) is calculated based on the input evaluation of the player with respect to the marker corresponding to the setting frame. Control to increase at least one of the experience values of the frame.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the characters PF and PG are set in the setting frames 1 to 5 of the unit UA.
, PH, PI, PJ are set, the calculation of the parameters of the setting frames 1 to 5 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the game is clear, the “experience value of the setting frame” is increased based on the player's input evaluation of the marker corresponding to each setting frame.

  For example, when the terminal judges that the player's input evaluation of the marker corresponding to the setting frame 1 in which the character PF of the unit UA is set is “Perfect”, the acquired experience value=“20” is set to “setting frame 1”. "Experience value" and add "Experience value of setting frame 1" when "Great" evaluation is judged, and add when "Nice" evaluation is judged Experience value=“5” is added to “experience value of setting frame 1”. If the player's input evaluation is unsuccessful (“Bad” or “Miss”), the experience value addition process of the setting frame is not performed.

  That is, when the input evaluation of the marker corresponding to the setting frame is successful, the terminal adds the acquired experience value to the “experience value of the setting frame” and raises the “experience value of the setting frame”. Further, as the input evaluation of the marker corresponding to the setting frame is higher, the “acquired experience value” is increased.

  When the increased "experience value of setting frame" reaches the upper limit value, "1" is added to "level of setting frame", "experience value of setting frame" is updated to 0 and then increased, and repeated. The "experience value of setting frame" and the "level of setting frame" are controlled. In addition, each level and the upper limit value of the experience value are associated with each other and are defined in advance.

  Similarly, the levels and experience values of the setting frames 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the unit UA are also calculated based on the input evaluation of the marker corresponding to the setting frame, like the level and the experience value of the setting frame 1. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, with respect to each of the setting frames 1 to 5 of the unit UA, the degree of increase in the parameter of the setting frame may be changed according to the character set in the setting frame.

  For example, when the character set in the setting frame matches any of the “singing voice characters” corresponding to the song ID for each setting frame of the unit, the experience value (or the acquired experience value) of the setting frame is set. You may multiply by the predetermined coefficient J (J>1, for example, J=1.1). By doing so, when the character set in the setting frame matches the “singing voice character”, it is possible to aim to increase the experience value and further increase the motivation of the player who wants to collect the character. Because you can.

  For example, the “singing voice character” corresponding to the music ID is PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, and when the character PA is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit, the experience value of the setting frame 1 is a coefficient. When the character PF is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit by multiplying J, the experience value of the setting frame 1 is controlled not to be multiplied by the coefficient J.

4.8 Game Result In this embodiment, it is determined that the game is “successful” when the clear condition of the game is satisfied.

Then, the terminal of this embodiment transmits the game result and the score to the server in association with the player ID, the music ID, and the difficulty level. When the server receives the game result and the like from the terminal, the server stores the game result and the score as a part of the player information in association with the player ID, the song ID, and the difficulty level, and the game play count of the song, Update the probability of success (the number of successes per number of times the song has been played).

4.9 Benefits Then, when it is determined that the game is successful, the server grants a benefit to the player. The privilege is a reward for a game success, such as a new character or a new item (an item that can be restarted by setting the physical strength value to the upper limit when the physical strength value reaches a predetermined value, or stamina). Items that can increase the value) etc. Note that the control for recovering the stamina value and the control for increasing the upper limit value of the stamina value are also examples of benefits.

4.10 Character Consumption In the present embodiment, selection of a character from a plurality of characters owned by the player is accepted based on the player's input, the character is set in the composition frame corresponding to the setting frame, and the game is cleared. When the condition (predetermined condition) is satisfied, the character set in the composition frame may be consumed (erased).

(1) Number of Composite Frames FIG. 13A shows an example of the number of composite frames corresponding to each setting frame. The terminal stores the number of composition frames of the setting frames 1 to 5 in the storage unit.

  For example, the number of composition frames corresponding to the setting frame 1 is “3”, the number of composition frames corresponding to the setting frame 2 is “3”, and the number of composition frames corresponding to the setting frame 3 is “2”. The number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame 4 is “1”, and the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame 5 is “0”.

  Then, in the present embodiment, the number of composition frames corresponding to the setting frame is determined according to the level of the setting frame (parameter of the setting frame in a broad sense). For example, when the level of the setting frame is 1 (initial value), the number of combination frames is set to 0. Then, when the level of the setting frame is 2 or more and less than 5, the number of composition frames corresponding to the setting frame is set to “1”, and when the level of the setting frame is 5 or more and less than 10, the setting frame is set to the setting frame. The number of corresponding composition frames is "2", and when the level of the setting frame is 10 or more, the number of composition frames corresponding to the setting frame is "3".

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as the level of the setting frame increases, the number of composition frames corresponding to the setting frame is controlled to increase.

(2) Setting of Character to be Consumed In the terminal of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, in the game screen W14, the composition frame 301 of the setting frame 1 of the unit UA, the composition frame 302 of the setting frame 2, and the setting frame 3 are set. The composite frame 303 of and the composite frame 304 of the setting frame 4 are displayed. The setting frame 5 is not displayed because it does not have a composition frame.

  Then, the terminal accepts a selection of a character to be consumed (combining target) from the plurality of characters owned by the player in the unit UA based on the input from the player, and sets the character as a compositing frame of the setting frame. ..

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the terminal sets the characters QA, QB, and QC in the composition frame of the setting frame 1 of the unit UA based on the input by the player, and sets the character RA in the composition frame of the setting frame 3. Is set, and the character SA is set in the composition frame of the setting frame 4.

  FIG. 13B shows an example of information on the composition frame corresponding to each setting frame. The terminal stores the information of the composition frame corresponding to each setting frame in the storage unit.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 13B, the terminal stores the composition frame ID and the character ID set in the composition frame ID in the storage unit in association with the setting frame ID.

  For example, the character QA is set in the composition frame 1 of the setting frame 1, the character QB is set in the composition frame 2 of the setting frame 1, and the character QC is set in the composition frame 3 of the setting frame 1. Indicates that Further, the setting frame 2 has three composition frames, but no character is set. Further, there are two composition frames in the setting frame 3, and one of the composition frames 1 has the character RA set therein. Further, it is shown that the character SA is set in the composition frame 1 of the setting frame 4. Also, it is indicated that the number of composition frames of the setting frame 5 is “0”.

(3) Consumption of Character Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the terminal of the present embodiment plays the game after the consumption target characters QA, QB, QC, RA, and SA are set in the composition frame of the unit UA. When the game clear condition (predetermined condition) is satisfied, the characters QA, QB, QC, RA, and SA set in the composition frame are consumed (erased). That is, the characters QA, QB, QC, RA, and SA are erased from the player's own character.

(4) Calculation of Parameter of Setting Frame with Consumption of Character Then, when the character set in the composition frame is consumed, the terminal of this embodiment increases the parameter of the setting frame corresponding to the composition frame. ..

  For example, in each of the setting frames 1 to 5, the terminal adds “the number of consumed characters”ד100” to the experience value of the setting frame.

  For example, when the characters QA, QB, and QC set in the composition frames 1 to 3 of the setting frame 1 are consumed, “300” is added to the “experience value of the setting frame 1”. When the character RA set in the composition frame 1 of the setting frame 3 is consumed, “100” is added to the “experience value of the setting frame 3”. In addition, when the character SA set in the composition frame 1 of the setting frame 4 is consumed, “100” is added to the “experience value of the setting frame 4”.

  In addition, when the character set in the composition frame is consumed, the terminal of the present exemplary embodiment displays the setting frame corresponding to the composition frame based on the rarity (type) of the character set in the composition frame. The parameter may be increased.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the higher the rarity of the character set in the composition frame, the larger the value to be added to the experience value of the setting frame.

  For example, when the rarity of the character set in the composition frame is "1", the coefficient F is 1.0, when the rarity is "2", the coefficient F is 1.1, and the rarity is "3". In the case of, the coefficient F is set to be higher as the value of the degree of rarity becomes higher, such as the coefficient F=1.2.

  Then, in the present embodiment, in each of the setting frames 1 to 5, "experience value of the setting frame" is added with "a coefficient F of the consumed character's rarity degree"×"100" for each consumed character. By doing this, even if the rare character is consumed, it can be effectively utilized.

  For example, when the rarity of the characters QA, QB, and QC set in the composition frames 1 to 3 of the setting frame 1 is “3” and the coefficient F of the rarity “3” is F=1.2, the character QA , QB, QC are consumed, 3×1.2×100=360, so “360” is added to the “experience value of setting frame 1”.

4.11 Game Clear Determination In the present embodiment, the game clear determination is performed as follows. For example, when the player's input evaluation of the marker with respect to the marker fails (for example, “Bad” or “Miss”) is less than a predetermined number, it is determined that the game is clear.

  In the present embodiment, a physical strength value may be set for the character to determine whether or not the game clear condition is satisfied.

  For example, a physical strength value is set in advance for each character, and the total physical strength value of the characters forming the unit used in the game is taken as the unit physical strength value. After the game starts, a process of subtracting “10” from the unit physical strength value is performed each time the player's input evaluation to the marker fails (for example, “Bad” or “Miss”). In other words, if the input evaluation is successful (for example, “Perfect”, “Great” or “Nice”), the physical fitness value is not decreased.

  If the game ends before the unit physical strength value reaches a predetermined value (for example, 0), it is determined that the game is clear. On the other hand, if the unit physical strength value reaches a predetermined value before the end of the game, the game is forcibly ended even if the game is in progress (it is determined that the game is over). It is also possible for the player to restart the game by setting the physical strength value to the upper limit value on condition that the player uses a predetermined item.

  In this embodiment, various conditions may be game clear conditions. For example, a game clear condition may be that the score of the stage is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.

4.12 Rendering Process In the present embodiment, when the character set in the unit corresponding to the music matches the character of the singing voice, the character may be identified and displayed.

  For example, when the singing voice character of the song “ABC” is PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, and when the unit characters of the song “ABC” are PA, PG, PH, PI, PJ, the character PA. The motion of moving the mouth may be reproduced, and the motion of closing the mouth may be reproduced for the characters PG, PH, PI, and PJ. Alternatively, the image of the character PA may be subjected to image processing of a gorgeous effect, and the images of the characters PG, PH, PI, and PJ may not be subjected to the effect, and the character PA may be controlled to be conspicuous.

4.13 Flowchart Finally, the flow of processing of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the terminal determines a song based on the player's input (step S101). Then, a character to be set in each of the setting frames 1 to 5 of the unit associated with the music is determined (step S102). Then, the game is started (step S103).

  Next, the player's input is evaluated with respect to the marker corresponding to each setting frame (step S104).

  Then, the score is calculated based on the player's input evaluation with respect to the marker corresponding to each setting frame, the type of the character set in the setting frame, and the parameter of the setting frame (step S105). ).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the game is cleared (step S106), and when it is determined that the game is cleared (Y in step S106), the player's input with respect to the marker corresponding to the setting frame for each of the setting frames 1 to 5. Based on the evaluation, at least one of the experience value and the level of the setting frame is increased (step S107).

  If it is not determined that the game is cleared (N in step S106), the process ends. With that, the process ends.

5. Application Example The present invention is not limited to the one described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, terms referred to as broad or synonymous terms in the description or drawings can be replaced with broad or synonymous terms in other descriptions in the specification or drawings.

5.1 Character Growth In the present embodiment, an example in which the parameter (at least one of the level and the experience value) of the setting frame is grown (increased) when the game is cleared by the player's game play has been described. When cleared, the parameter of the character may be grown together with the parameter of the setting frame.

  For example, a parameter such as a level or appeal value is set for each character, a coefficient X (X≧1) that increases as the parameter of the character increases, and the coefficient X is multiplied by the score of the stage. You may do it.

5.2 Relationship Between Musical Piece and Setting Frame In the present embodiment, an example in which one musical piece and a setting frame of a unit are associated with each other has been described. It is possible to accept the selection of one unit from a plurality of units (for example, unit ID=UA, UB, UC, etc.) used in the music, set the character in the setting frame of the selected unit, and start the game. ..

  For example, the terminal may select one music piece, extract a unit including a singing voice character of the music piece, and start the game based on the extracted unit based on the input of the player. When there are a plurality of units including the singing voice character of the music, one unit including the most singing voice character of the music may be extracted.

5.3 Parameter of Setting Frame In this embodiment, an example of the level and the experience value has been described as the parameter of the setting frame, but a physical strength value may be set as an example of the parameter of the setting frame. Further, the degree of increase (growth degree) of the parameter of the setting frame may be changed according to the difficulty level of the music. For example, the coefficient Y (Y≧1) is controlled to be higher as the difficulty level of the music is higher, and the coefficient Y is the experience value of each setting frame of the unit of the music (or the acquisition experience value of the setting frame). To multiply.

5.4 Character of Singing Voice In the present embodiment, a “character of singing voice” may be set in association with the setting frames 1 to 5.

  For example, for the song ID "ABC", the setting frame 1 is associated with the character PA as a "singing voice character" in advance, the setting frame 2 is associated with the character PB as a "singing voice character" in advance, and the setting frame 3 is associated with the character PC ". The character PD may be previously associated with the setting frame 4 as the "singing voice character", and the character PE may be previously associated with the setting frame 5 as the "singing voice character".

  Then, for each setting frame of the unit, when the character set in the setting frame matches the “singing voice character” corresponding to the music ID and the setting frame ID, a predetermined coefficient J(J >1, for example J=1.1).

  For example, when the “singing voice character” corresponding to the setting frame 1 of music ID=ABC is the character PA and the character PA is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit, the experience value of the setting frame 1 is set. When the character PB is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit by multiplying by the coefficient J, the experience value of the setting frame 1 is controlled not to be multiplied by the coefficient J.

5.5 Number of Setting Frames In the present embodiment, an example in which the number of setting frames is five has been described, but the number of setting frames may be one.
