Next, the operation when a quiz is given from the communication terminal 10 to the communication terminal 20 by the communication terminals 10 and 20 and the server 30 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5.

The operation of the communication terminal 10 on the questioner side shown in FIG. 4 will be described. The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 is executed by the CPU 18.

First, in step S101, the voice input for creating the quiz question is instructed, and the process proceeds to step S102. In this step, for example, a guidance voice such as "Enter the quiz creation by voice. Please talk about the quiz problem first" is output from the speaker 13 to prompt the user to input the quiz question. This step functions as a game designation process for designating a battle-type game to play against another communication terminal.

Next, in step S102, it is determined whether or not the quiz question has been voice-input, and if the quiz question is voice-input (yes), the process proceeds to step S103, and if the quiz question is not voice-input (no), this step is performed. stand by. Whether or not the problem of the quiz is input by voice may be determined, for example, if the voice input from the microphone 12 can be recognized by the voice recognition processing unit 16 without an error, it may be considered that the quiz has been input.

Next, in step S103, the voice input for answering the quiz is instructed, and the process proceeds to step S104. In this step, for example, a guidance voice such as "Please tell me the correct answer of the quiz" is output from the speaker 13 to prompt the user to input the answer that is the correct answer of the quiz. That is, this step and step S101 function as a second input step for inputting to play a battle-type game designated by the game designating means. In this embodiment, since the quiz is performed as a battle-type game, the input for performing the battle-type game is an act of giving (creating) a quiz as a question terminal.

Next, in step S104, it is determined whether or not the answer to the quiz has been input by voice, and if the answer is input by voice (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S105, and if the answer is not input by voice (in the case of No), in this step. stand by. Whether or not the answer to the quiz is input by voice may be determined in the same manner as in step S102.

Next, in step S105, the voice input of the message or action at the time of correct answer and incorrect answer is instructed, and the process proceeds to step S106. In this step, for example, a guidance voice such as "Please tell me the message when the quiz is correct" or "Please tell me the message when the quiz is incorrect" is output from the speaker 13, and a message to be output to the user when the quiz is correct or incorrect. Prompt to enter (correct message, incorrect message).

Here, the action described in step S105 indicates, for example, an operation performed at the same time as a message is output at the time of a correct answer or an incorrect answer, and is, for example, a designation of a sound effect.

Next, in step S106, it is determined whether or not the message or action at the time of correct answer and incorrect answer is input by voice, and if the message or action is input by voice (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S107, and if the message or action is not input by voice (No). If) waits in this step. Whether or not the message or action at the time of correct answer and incorrect answer is input by voice may be determined in the same manner as in steps S102 and S104.

Next, in step S107, the voice input of the store or the like is instructed, and the process proceeds to step S108. In this step, for example, a guidance voice such as "Specify the store to bet on. Please speak the name of the store" is output from the speaker 13 to prompt the input of the store or the like. In other words, in this step, a store or the like that provides products and services obtained by winning or losing the quiz is selected. Therefore, the POI database 31 of the server 30 is accessed to obtain a list of registered stores (information about commercial facilities to which benefits can be delivered) from the server 30, and the list is displayed on the display unit 14. A display example of the display display unit 14 in this step is shown in FIG. 6A. When this step is executed, the display unit 14 displays a list of stores and the like as shown in FIG. 6A. Then, the user selects a store or the like by inputting the store name from the list from the microphone 12. This step functions as a delivery location designation process for designating the delivery location of benefits.

The stores and the like displayed in the list include the stores and the like registered in the POI database 31 of the server 30, but the stores and the like may be narrowed down and displayed based on a specific criterion. For example, the current position of the communication terminal 10 may be narrowed down to stores or the like within a predetermined range, or information on frequently used stores or the like may be combined with the POI database 31 of the server 30 by the position information of the GPS 15 or the user's declaration. Stores and the like that are accumulated so as to be associated and displayed based on the information may be narrowed down.

Next, in step S108, it is determined whether or not the store or the like has voice input, and if voice input is performed (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S109, and if voice input is not performed (in the case of No), the process waits in this step. To do. Whether or not the store or the like has been input by voice may be determined in the same manner as in steps S102, S104, and S106.

Next, in step S109, the voice input of the product to be bet is instructed and the process proceeds to step S110. In this step, for example, a guidance voice such as "Select a product to bet. Please tell me the name of the product to be bet" is output from the speaker 13 to prompt the input of the product (or service) to be bet. In other words, in this step, the products and services obtained by winning or losing the quiz are selected. Therefore, the POI database 31 of the server 30 is accessed to acquire the menu information of the store or the like input in step S107, and the menu information is displayed on the display unit 14. A display example of the display display unit 14 in this step is shown in FIG. 6 (b). When this step is executed, the display unit 14 displays a menu of products and services as shown in FIG. 6 (b). Then, the user selects the product or service by inputting the product name or service name from the list from the microphone 12. This step functions as a privilege designation process for designating the privilege obtained as a result of the competitive game.

The menu displayed when a product or service is selected is not limited to being registered in the POI database 31 for each store or the like, and the POI database 31 may be configured as shown in FIG. 7, for example. 7 (a) shows a POI table (POI Table) to which a sub-category (Sub Category) and a main category (Main Category) are added to FIG. 3, and a menu table (Men-Table) shown in FIG. 7 (b). ). The main category of the POI table is set to major categories such as restaurants (Restaurunts) and event venues (Events), and the subcategories are Italian restaurants (Italian), hamburger shops (Burgers), and event venues in the case of restaurants. The main categories such as movie theaters (Theaters) and concert halls (Concerts) are subdivided. That is, category information is set for each commercial facility.

In the menu table, as shown in FIG. 7B, each information of the Category ID and the menu (Menu1, Menu2, ...) Is set. The Category ID is a number uniquely assigned to one main category or sub-category. A menu is a menu list of products and services provided in the main category or sub-category. The menu of the menu table presets products and services that are likely to be normally provided for each category. For example, beer and coffee can usually be served at restaurants, so register them in advance. By doing so, if the main category or the sub-category is set without registering the menu of each store or the like in the POI table, the user can display and select the product or service. For example, in a store with a POI ID of p2001 in FIG. 7, since the main category is a restaurant and the subcategory is Italian food, beer, coffee, wine, and pizza are displayed without registering the actual menu of the store.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 4, in step S110, it is determined whether or not the product to be bet has been voice-input, and if voice input is performed (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S111, and if voice input is not performed (no). Waits in this step. Whether or not the product to be bet is input by voice may be determined in the same manner as in steps S102, S104, S106, and S108.

Next, in step S111, the voice input of the transmission destination is instructed, and the process proceeds to step S112. In this step, for example, a guidance voice such as "Specify a friend of the destination. Please speak the name of the friend" is output from the speaker 13 to prompt the input of the destination. In this step, a friend who will be the opponent of the quiz is selected. Therefore, the friend information database 32 of the server 30 is accessed to acquire a list of registered friends, and the list is displayed on the display unit 14. A display example of the display display unit 14 in this step is shown in FIG. 6 (c). When this step is executed, the display unit 14 displays a list of friends as shown in FIG. 6 (c). Then, the user selects from the list by inputting the name of the friend to be the opponent from the microphone 12. This step functions as an opponent designation process for designating an opponent to play a competitive game.

Next, in step S112, it is determined whether or not the destination has been input by voice, and if the destination is input by voice (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S113, and if the destination is not input by voice (in the case of No), the process waits in this step. To do. Whether or not the transmission destination has been input by voice may be determined in the same manner as in steps S102, S104, S106, S108, and S110.

Next, in step S113, a message with the created quiz information (quiz information), store information, and betting product is created, and the process proceeds to step S114. In this step, a message including each information of a product or service such as a quiz, a store, etc. input by the above-mentioned operation is created. The created message is displayed on the display display unit 14 with the configuration as shown in FIG. 8, for example.

That is, the quiz information (question information, correct answer information, correct / incorrect answer message or action) corresponds to the competitive game information, the betting product corresponds to the privilege information, and the store information corresponds to the location information of the privilege delivery place. The opponent information corresponds to the User ID, name, etc. of the questioner who created the quiz using the question terminal. Further, in this embodiment, not only the location information such as latitude, longitude, and location, but also the information that can identify the commercial facility such as POI ID and the information related to the commercial facility such as the store name, telephone number, and evaluation are included as the store information. You may.

Next, in step S114, the voice input for confirmation before transmission is instructed, and the process proceeds to step S115. In this step, the message content created in step S113 is read aloud as a guidance voice, and the user is asked to answer whether or not the message may be transmitted.

Next, in step S115, it is confirmed whether or not transmission may be performed, and if it is acceptable (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S116. If it is not good (No), it ends. In this step, if a positive answer such as "yes" is input from the microphone 12 as a result of having the user answer in step S114, the process proceeds to step S116 to transmit and end, and a negative answer such as "no" is given. If an answer is input from the microphone 12, the process ends without transmission. In step S116, the battle type game information which is the information of the battle type game designated by the game designation means, the opponent information which notifies the opponent designated by the opponent designation means of the information of the opponent who will play in the battle type game, It functions as a second transmission step of transmitting the privilege information which is the information of the privilege designated by the privilege designating means and the position information of the delivery place of the privilege designated by the delivery place designating means.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, the problem is created, the store is selected, the product is selected, and the destination is selected, but the procedure is not limited to this. For example, the store selection and the product selection may be performed first, or the sender selection may be performed first. That is, these orders may be arbitrarily determined.

Further, the selection of the store in step S107 is not limited to simply selecting from the list or map data, but the destination is specified first to determine the opponent, and the position information (competitor) of the opponent (communication terminal 20) is determined. (Position information) is acquired, and based on the opponent's position information and the current position information acquired from GPS15 of itself (communication terminal 10), facilities within a predetermined range are narrowed down and displayed from both communication terminals. You may. By doing so, it is possible to designate a place where the opponents can easily reach each other as a delivery place. That is, based on the current position information and the opponent position information, the facility within a predetermined range is designated as the delivery place from both communication terminals.

Further, the selection of the destination in step S111 is not limited to displaying the list acquired from the friend information database 32, but is acquired from the location information of the store and the GPS 15 of itself (communication terminal 10) after designating the store. Based on the current location information, friends within a predetermined range from both the store and the current location may be narrowed down and displayed. By doing so, it is possible to first specify the delivery place and then specify a friend or the like near the delivery place as an opponent. That is, based on the current position information and the position information of the delivery place, another communication terminal within a predetermined range is designated from both position information.

Further, the store, the product, and the destination are not limited to being selected from the list or map data, and may be directly input as shown in FIG. 6 (b)'.

Next, the operation of the communication terminal 20 on the answerer side shown in FIG. 5 will be described. The flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is executed by the CPU 28.

First, in step S201, it is determined whether or not the message with the game has been received, and if it is received (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S202, and if it is not received (in the case of No), it waits in this step. The reception of the message with a game can be determined by adding information indicating that the message is attached to the communication terminal 10 at the time of transmitting the message and the presence or absence of the information at the time of reception. That is, this step functions as a first receiving step of receiving the battle type game information, the opponent information to be played in the battle type game, the privilege information obtained as a result of the battle type game, and the position information of the privilege delivery place. ..

Next, in step S202, the quiz, the store information, and the message with the betting product are displayed, and the process proceeds to step S203. FIG. 9 shows an example of a message displayed on the display display unit 24. In this step, a screen as shown in FIG. 9A is displayed.

Next, in step S203, the game is agreed or voice input is instructed, and the process proceeds to step S204. In this step, for example, "I received a message with a game from my friend" Bob ". It is a game where you bet the product" Beer "at the shop" Japanese Restaurant A "and answer the quiz that" Bob "questions. If you answer the quiz correctly, you can get "Beer" from "Bob", and if it is incorrect, you give "Beer" to "Bob". Do you want to play a game? " , Prompts the user to enter whether or not they agree with the game.

Next, in step 204, it is determined whether or not the user has agreed to the game, and if the user agrees (yes), the process proceeds to step S205, and if the user does not agree (no), the process proceeds to step S214. Whether or not the user agrees is determined if the user agrees if a positive answer such as "yes" is input from the microphone 22, and if a negative answer such as "no" is input from the microphone 22. Judge that you do not agree.

Next, in step S205, the quiz question is output as voice and the process proceeds to step S206. When this step is executed, a quiz question (Question Message) and an answer column (Enter Your Answer) are displayed on the display display unit 24 as shown in FIG. 9B. That is, the display display unit 24 functions as the first output means and outputs a quiz problem (predetermined problem).

Next, in step S206, it is determined whether or not the answer has been input, and if it is input (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S207, and if it is not input (in the case of No), the process returns to step S205. Whether or not the answer has been input may be determined, for example, if the voice input from the microphone 22 can be recognized by the voice recognition processing unit 26 without an error, it may be considered that the answer has been input. That is, this step functions as a first input step for inputting to play the battle-type game indicated by the battle-type game information.

Next, in step S207, the voice recognition processing unit 26 is made to voice-recognize the answer input in step S206, the input answer is confirmed, and the process proceeds to step S208. In this step, the display unit 24 is displayed as shown in FIG. 9 (c), and a guidance voice such as "Your answer is" 3 ". Final answer?" Is output from the speaker 23 to the user. To confirm the answer.

Next, in step S208, it is determined whether or not the user agrees to confirm the answer, and if the user agrees (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S209, and if the user does not agree (in the case of No), the process returns to step S205. Whether or not the user agrees is judged to agree if the user inputs a positive answer such as "final answer" or "yes" from the microphone 22, and a negative answer such as "no" is input from the microphone 22. If it is entered, it will be judged that you do not agree.

Next, in step S209, the voice recognition processing unit 26 is made to voice-recognize the consent answer input in step S208, and the correct / incorrect determination of the answer is made, and the process proceeds to step S210. In this step, after the user agrees to confirm the answer as a "final answer" or the like in step S208, the answer is compared with the correct answer included in the message with the game received in step S201 to make a correct / incorrect judgment. That is, this step functions as a first winning / losing result acquisition step of determining the correct / incorrect result of the quiz and acquiring the winning / losing result of the competitive game.

Next, in step S210, it is determined whether or not the answer is correct as a result of the correct / incorrect determination in step S209. If the answer is correct (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S211 and if the answer is incorrect (in the case of No). Proceeds to step S212.

Next, in step S211, as a result of the determination in step S210, the answer is correct, so the message (correct answer message) at the time of the correct answer is displayed and the action process is performed, and the process proceeds to step S213. In this step, in addition to displaying as shown in Fig. 9 (d), for example, "The correct answer is" 3 ". You win! This is a message from" Bob "." I got the correct answer, so I will buy a glass of beer. .. How about this weekend? A guidance voice such as "" is output from the speaker 23, and an action set in the received message such as sounding a sound effect such as a fanfare is performed.

On the other hand, in step S212, as a result of the determination in step S210, the answer is incorrect. Therefore, a message (incorrect answer message) at the time of incorrect answer is displayed and action processing is performed, and the process proceeds to step S213. In this step, for example, a display in which FIG. 9D is replaced with a message at the time of incorrect answer is displayed, and a voice output or action of the message at the time of incorrect answer is performed.

Next, in step S213, the content of the game, the result, the store where the bet was placed, and the product are registered in the game result detail database 33 of the server 30, and the process proceeds to step S214. This step functions as a game result output process that outputs the battle-type game information, the opponent information, the privilege information, the position information, and the winning / losing result in association with each other.

Next, in step S214, the result of the game is transmitted to the questioner to end the game. As for the result of the game, the result itself may be transmitted, or as described later, the Game ID acquired when the game result is registered in the server 30 in step S213 may be transmitted. That is, the information may be a clue that the questioner can know the game result without including the game result itself. That is, information on the result of winning or losing is transmitted to another communication terminal. If you do not agree with the game in step S204, that fact is transmitted.

Although the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 have been described by mainly inputting voice from the microphone 12, recognizing the voice, inputting a quiz question, inputting an answer, etc., the input unit 11 is used. You may enter it.

In the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5, the operation of the communication terminals 10 and 20 has been described, but the operation centered on the server 30 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The flowchart of FIG. 10 is executed by the CPU 18 (question terminal), the CPU 28 (answer terminal), and the CPU 35 (server), respectively.

First, in the question terminal (communication terminal 10), in step S301, game information including a quiz question, an answer, a message, store information, product information, a destination, and the like is created, and the process proceeds to step S102. That is, steps S101 to S113 of FIG. 4 are executed.

Next, in step S302, the game information created in step S301 is transmitted to the answer terminal (communication terminal 20), and the process proceeds to step S303. That is, steps S114 to S116 of FIG. 4 are executed, and game information is transmitted from the network communication unit 17.

Next, in the answer terminal, in step S303, the game information transmitted from the question terminal is received and displayed, and the process proceeds to step S304. That is, the network communication unit 27 receives the game information, and the CPU 28 executes steps S201 to S202 of FIG.

Next, in step S304, the game (quiz) is executed, the winning / losing result (game result) is determined, and the process proceeds to step S305. That is, steps S203 to S212 of FIG. 5 are executed.

Next, in step S305, the game information and the game result determined in step S304 are transmitted to the server 30, and the process proceeds to step S306. That is, step S213 of FIG. 5 is executed, and the game information and the game result are transmitted from the network communication unit 27.

Next, in step S306, the server 30 receives the game information and the game result transmitted from the answer terminal and proceeds to step S307. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the game information and the game result and outputs them to the CPU 35.

Next, in step S307, the game information and the game result received in step S306 are given a Game ID, registered in the game result detail database 33, and proceed to step S308. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the game information (question date, questioner, answerer, question content, correct answer, POI ID, product) and the game result (answer date, actual answer, correct answer) for each Game ID. Whether or not) is registered.

Next, in step S308, the Game ID given in step S307 is transmitted to the answering terminal, and the process proceeds to step S309. That is, the Game ID is transmitted from the network communication unit 34.

Next, in the answer terminal, in step S309, the Game ID transmitted from the server 30 is received, and the process proceeds to step S310. That is, the network communication unit 27 receives the Game ID and outputs it to the CPU 28.

Next, in step S310, a message indicating that the game result has been obtained is transmitted to the question terminal including the Game ID, and the process proceeds to step S311. Note that this message does not have to include the outcome of the game itself. That is, step S214 of FIG. 5 is executed and transmitted from the network communication unit 27.

Next, in step S311 the question terminal receives the message including the Game ID transmitted from the answer terminal and proceeds to step S312. That is, the network communication unit 17 receives the Game ID and outputs it to the CPU 18.

Next, in step S312, the server 30 is inquired about the game result based on the game ID received in step S311, and the process proceeds to step S313. That is, the Game ID is transmitted from the network communication unit 17.

Next, in step S313, the server 30 searches the game result detail database 33 based on the Game ID transmitted from the question terminal and proceeds to step S314. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the Game ID, and the CPU 35 searches the game detailed result database 33.

Next, in step S314, the game result obtained as a result of the search in step S313 is transmitted to the question terminal, and the process proceeds to step S315. That is, the game result is transmitted from the network communication unit 34.

Next, in the question terminal, in step S315, the game result is acquired from the server 30 and displayed on the display display unit 14. That is, the network communication unit 17 receives the game result and outputs it to the CPU 18, and the CPU 18 causes the display display unit 14 to display the game result. In this way, the question terminal can know the game result, and the game information and the game result are registered in the server 30 from the answer terminal. This step functions as a second winning / losing result acquisition process for acquiring the winning / losing result of the competitive game.

As is clear from the explanation of the flowcharts of FIGS. 4, 5, and 10, the communication terminal 10 which is the question terminal (the side applying for the bet) delivers the game designation means, the opponent designation means, the privilege designation means, and the delivery. The communication terminal 20 which is a communication terminal and an answer terminal (the side where a bet is applied) having a place designating means, a second transmitting means, a second input means, and a second winning / losing result acquisition means is the first. It is a communication terminal having 1 receiving means, 1st input means, 1st win / loss result acquisition means, and game result output means.

In the flowchart of FIG. 10, after the game result is output on the answer terminal, a notification that the game result is output is transmitted from the answer terminal to the question terminal, but the server 30 updates the game result detail database 33 to the answer terminal. After transmitting the Game ID (after step S308), the server 30 may notify the question terminal that the game result has been obtained. That is, the server 30 may perform step S310.

Next, the operations of the communication terminals 10 and 20 and the server 30 after the end of the game (quiz) will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14. After the game is over, there is no difference in operation between the communication terminals 10 and 20.

First, the operation when confirming the usage status of the game (quiz) in the store will be described with reference to FIG. That is, FIG. 11 is a flowchart when referring to the usage status of the game at an arbitrary POI (store or the like). The flowchart of FIG. 11 is executed by the CPU 18 or 28 (communication terminal) and the CPU 35 (server), respectively.

In step S401 of FIG. 11, the communication terminal 10 or 20 selects a store for which the game usage status is to be confirmed, and proceeds to step S402. The selection may be made, for example, by displaying the map data on the display unit 14 and selecting the location of the store from the map data, or by directly inputting from the input unit 11 or the microphone 12. There may be a plurality of stores to be selected. Information on the selected store or the like is transmitted from the network communication unit 17 or 27 to the server 30.

Next, in step S402, the server 30 searches the game result detail database 33 for the Game ID in which the store is included as the POI ID for the store or the like selected by the communication terminal 10 or 20, and proceeds to step S403. That is, by extracting the Game ID including the specific POI ID from the game result detail database 33 shown in FIG. 3, the usage status of the game at the POI ID (store or the like) can be known. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the information of the store or the like, and the CPU 35 searches the game result detail database 33 based on the information of the store or the like.

Next, in step S403, the result searched in step S402 is transmitted to the communication terminal 10 or 20, and the process proceeds to step S404. That is, the search result is transmitted from the network communication unit 34.

Next, in step S404, the communication terminal 10 or 20 receives the search result of the server 30 and proceeds to step S405. That is, the network communication unit 17 or 27 receives the search result.

Next, in step S405, the result (usage status of the game of the selected store) received in step S404 is displayed on the display display unit 24. As a display method, it may be simply displayed in a list, or when an icon or the like is displayed at the position of the store or the like on the map to indicate whether or not the game is used and the icon is selected. Detailed information may be displayed. That is, information indicating the usage status of betting using the competitive game received by the first receiving means or the second receiving means is output to the position indicated by the position information on the map data. By doing so, it is possible to check the usage status of betting using the competitive game including not only itself but also other users for each position.

In the flowchart of FIG. 11, the store was selected in step S401, but the store is within a predetermined range centered on the user's current position (current position of the communication terminal 20 or 30) without selecting a specific store. The status of (POI) may be searched and displayed. Alternatively, it may be within the range of the map displayed on the display unit 14.

Next, the operation when the user of the communication terminal 10 or 20 himself searches for the store used in the game (quiz) will be described with reference to FIG. That is, FIG. 12 is a flowchart in the case of referring to the POI (store or the like) used when the user participates in the game. Participating in this game means that if it is a quiz, it includes both the questioner and the answerer, but it may be possible to specify that only one of them should be searched. The flowchart of FIG. 12 is executed by the CPU 18 or 28 (communication terminal) and the CPU 35 (server), respectively.

In step S501 of FIG. 12, the communication terminal 10 or 20 instructs the user to search for the store used in the game, and proceeds to step S502. The search instruction information is transmitted from the network communication unit 17 or 27 to the server 30.

Next, in step S502, on the server 30, based on the instruction from the communication terminal 10 or 20, the Game ID in which the User ID assigned to the communication terminal (user) is included as the questioner or answerer is used as the game result. The detailed database 33 is searched, the POI ID included in the searched Game ID is extracted, and the process proceeds to step S503. That is, it is specified by searching the Game ID including the specific User ID from the game result detail database 33 shown in FIG. 3, identifying the participating game, and extracting the POI ID included in the searched Game ID. The POI used by the User ID of the above can be extracted. The network communication unit 34 receives the search instruction information, and the CPU 35 searches the game result detail database 33 based on the User ID of the user who transmitted the search instruction information.

Next, in step S503, the result searched in step S502 is transmitted to the communication terminal 10 or 20, and the process proceeds to step S504. That is, the search result is transmitted from the network communication unit 34. This search result includes at least POI position information (latitude, longitude) and winning / losing results.

Next, in step S504, the communication terminal 10 or 20 receives the search result of the server 30 and proceeds to step S505. That is, the network communication unit 17 or 27 receives the search result.

Next, in step S505, the result received in step S504 (the store or the like that the player used for the game) is displayed on the display display unit 24. That is, based on the map data, the position information acquired by the first game history acquisition means (or the second game history acquisition means), and the win / loss result, information indicating the win / loss result at the position indicated by the position information on the map data. Is being output. As a display method, it may be simply displayed in a list, or as shown in FIG. 13A, an icon or the like indicating that the store has been used may be displayed at the location of the store on the map data. Good. In addition, a trophy, a white flag, or the like may be displayed as an icon so that the winning / losing situation can be understood, or as shown in FIG. 13B, detailed contents are displayed when the icon is selected. May be good. In addition, when it is used a plurality of times, a plurality of trophy or white flag icons may be displayed.

If the acquired POI ID position information and the current position information acquired by the GPS 15 of the own terminal are within a predetermined distance, for example, the winning / losing result and the product at the store, etc. indicated by the POI ID on the map data, or Information about the service (product information) may be displayed on the display unit 14. In addition, when displaying, only games (quizzes) for which delivery of goods or services has not been completed may be displayed, or the entire history of the store may be displayed so that delivery completed or incomplete can be identified. You may do it. By doing so, when the product is located near the delivery place of the product, it is possible to notify that the privilege can be given and received and the product that has been given and received in the past.

Next, after the end of the game, when the player is in the store used for the game (quiz) with the opponent, the operation of notifying that the goods or services have not been delivered is performed with reference to the flowchart of FIG. explain. The flowchart of FIG. 14 is executed by the CPU 18 or 28 (communication terminal) and the CPU 35 (server), respectively.

First, in step S601, the communication terminal 10 or 20 asks the server 30 whether or not there is a game (quiz) for which the delivery date has not been input, and proceeds to step S601. The inquiry information is transmitted from the network communication unit 17 or 27 to the server 30.

Next, in step S602, the server 30 searches the game result detail database 33 and proceeds to step S603. In this step, the Game ID for which the delivery date has not been input is extracted in the game related to the User ID for which the inquiry in the game result detail database 33 has been made. The network communication unit 34 receives the inquiry information, and the CPU 35 searches the game result detail database 33 based on the inquiry information.

Next, in step S603, the search result executed in step S602 is transmitted, and the process proceeds to step S604. It is assumed that the search result includes each item of the game result detailed database 33 shown in FIG. That is, the search result is transmitted from the network communication unit 34.

Next, in step S604, the communication terminal 10 or 20 receives the search result transmitted from the server 30 and proceeds to step S605. That is, the network communication unit 17 or 27 receives the search result.

Next, in step S605, with respect to the result received in step S604, it is determined whether or not there is a game for which the delivery date has not been input, and if there is (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S606, and if there is not (in the case of No). ) Ends.

Next, in step S606, the server 30 is requested to provide the location information of the POI ID of the store or the like used in the game for which the delivery date has not been input, and the process proceeds to step S607. Since the POI ID of the store or the like used in the game for which the delivery date has not been input is included in the result received in step S604, the POI ID included in the result is extracted and inquired to the server 30. The inquiry information is transmitted from the network communication unit 17 or 27 to the server 30.

Next, in step S607, the server 30 searches the POI database 31 for the location information of the requested POI ID, and proceeds to step S608. The network communication unit 34 receives the inquiry information, and the CPU 35 searches the POI database 31 based on the search instruction information.

Next, in step S608, the search result executed in step S607 is transmitted, and the process proceeds to step S609. That is, the search result is transmitted from the network communication unit 34.

Next, in step S609, the communication terminal 10 or 20 receives the search result transmitted from the server 30 and proceeds to step S610. That is, the network communication unit 17 or 27 receives the search result.

Next, in step S610, the position information of itself (own terminal) is acquired from GPS 15, and the process proceeds to step S611.

Next, in step S611, the position information (player position information) of the communication terminal of the opponent (answerer or questioner) is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S612. The position information of the opponent may be obtained, for example, by transmitting a message or the like inquiring about the position information from the communication terminal of the opponent from the network communication unit 17 or 27 and replying to the message. As another method, the location information is periodically uploaded to the server 30 for both the question terminal and the answer terminal, the location information is saved on the server 30 side, and the location information of the opponent's communication terminal is stored on the server. You may contact 30 to obtain it.

Next, in step S612, does the POI ID position information acquired in step S609, the own position information acquired in step S610, and the position information of the opponent's communication terminal acquired in step S611 all match? It is determined whether or not, and if all match (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S613, and if they do not match (in the case of No), the process ends. In other words, if all the location information matches, it can be said that you and your opponent are in the store used for the game. The match in this step is not limited to a perfect match, and the above three position information may exist within a predetermined distance, for example, within a radius of 10 m.

Next, in step S613, it is displayed that the product can be received, and the receiving status input screen is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S614. In this step, the receipt status input screen is displayed, and at the same time, the receipt of the goods or services is notified, so that the receipt of the goods or services and the input of the receipt status are urged. Further, in this step, only the fact that the goods or services can be received may be notified, and the receiving status input may be performed later by the user separately operating the communication terminal 10 or 20 at an arbitrary timing. .. That is, based on the current position information and the opponent's position information, when each communication terminal exists within a predetermined distance, a notification prompting the input of information as to whether or not the privilege has been delivered or the privilege is output. Information indicating that delivery is possible is output.

Next, in step S614, it is determined whether or not the receiving status is input using the input unit 11 or the microphone 12, and if it is input (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S615, and if it is not input (No). In the case of) ends. The case where the input is not input in this step is a case where the input is rejected by erasing the input screen instead of waiting for the input.

Next, in step S615, the information input in step S614 is transmitted to the server 30, and the process proceeds to step S616. That is, the input information is transmitted from the network communication unit 17 or 27.

Next, in step S616, the server 30 updates the game result detail database 33 based on the received information. Specifically, the delivery date is set. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the information, and the CPU 35 updates the game result detail database 33 based on the received information.

In addition, although the input of the receipt status is prompted in step S613 of this flowchart, the receipt date is not limited to directly input as the receipt status, but a button such as transfer completion is displayed and communication is performed by clicking the button. The date in the terminal 10 or 20 or the server 30 side may be converted to today's date. In addition, in this flowchart, it is possible to receive by matching the position information of the POI ID, the position information of itself, and the position information of the communication terminal of the opponent, and the reception status input display is performed. It may be performed only by matching the position information and the position information of the communication terminal of the opponent. Even in that case, if the opponents are close to each other, it is possible to notify that the goods or services can be delivered.

Further, the notification that the delivery of goods and services is possible is not limited to the detection of the position information between the opponents, and for example, the communication terminals 10 and 20 are set to the current position and settings. If you have a navigation function that guides you from the specified position to the set destination, if the destination setting to the navigation function is specified as an action, for Game IDs for which the delivery date of the product has not been entered, on weekends or It is possible to display product information and store information at a predetermined date and time such as a holiday, and at the same time, automatically set the store specified for delivery of products and services as the destination of the navigation function and guide it. May be displayed. The CPU 18 (28) generates and performs a route to guide to the set destination.

Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 14, the operation of prompting the game in which the delivery date has not been input to input the delivery date is shown, but after the delivery date is input, a display indicating that the delivery date is input is displayed. You may go. For example, when the delivery date is input, the display mode may be changed by inputting / not inputting the delivery date, such as reducing the size of the icon on the map or reducing the brightness to tone down. .. That is, when the information indicating that the privilege has been delivered is input, the information indicating that the privilege has been delivered is output.

According to this embodiment, in the communication terminal 20, the network communication unit 27 provides game information, a sender, a product or service, a product or service of a quiz consisting of a predetermined question and an answer from the communication terminal 10. Since the CPU 28 determines the correct / incorrect result by receiving the store information, inputting the answer from the microphone 22, and performing the quiz, the product, service, and delivery position are received together with the quiz when the quiz is performed. , There is no need to contact each other separately to decide the product and its delivery location, and when a bet by a competitive game such as a quiz is applied from the communication terminal 10, the delivery location of the product or product is specified. Can be imagined.

In addition, since the delivery place of the product is a commercial facility such as a store, and the product is also a product or service provided at the commercial facility, it is commercial for the opponent to visit the commercial facility after a game such as a quiz. It can be connected to attracting customers to the facility.

Further, after the network communication unit 27 receives the correct answer message when the predetermined question is answered correctly and the incorrect answer message when the answer is incorrect, and the display display unit 14 determines the correct / incorrect result by the CPU 28. , Since either the correct answer message or the incorrect answer message is output based on the correct / incorrect result, the correct answer message or the incorrect answer message arbitrarily specified by the questioner can be output to notify the correct answer or the incorrect answer of the quiz. it can. In addition, by including a message regarding the transfer of goods and services in the correct answer message and the incorrect answer message, it is possible to make the content of the bet more specific, for example, "buy a glass of beer".

In addition, after the network communication units 17 and 27 acquire the map data, and after the quiz is completed and the quiz result is registered in the server 30, the display units 14 and 24 use the store for the quiz that they are involved in on the map data. Since the trophy or white flag icon indicating the winning / losing result is displayed at the position such as, the winning / losing result can be displayed on the map, and the battle result can be easily confirmed.

Further, after the network communication unit 17 acquires the winning / losing result in the communication terminal 10 and the winning / losing result is acquired by the CPU 28 in the communication terminal 20, each of them is based on the current position information of the own terminal and the position information of another communication terminal. When the communication terminal of the above is within a predetermined distance from the position indicated by the position information, the display display units 14 and 24 output a notification prompting the input of information as to whether or not the goods or services have been delivered. Therefore, if the opponents are close to each other and the goods or services have not been delivered, the actual product can be entered by inputting information indicating that the goods or services have been delivered. It is possible to encourage the delivery of services and services.

Further, the network communication units 17 and 27 receive information from the server 30 indicating the usage status of betting using the quiz at the location of the store or the like selected on the map data, and the display units 14 and 24 display the map data. Since the usage status of the bet using the quiz at the above-mentioned store is displayed, the usage status of the bet using the quiz can be confirmed for each store or the like.

Further, the server 30 is connected to the communication terminal 20 via a network so as to be able to communicate with each other, and the game result detail database 33 and the game result detail database 33 in which the game information output by the communication terminal 20 and the information associated with the game result are stored. Since it has a CPU 35 that registers each information output by the communication terminal 20 in the game result detail database and searches each information in response to a request from the communication terminal 20, the server 30 has a battle game such as a quiz and its own. The contents of bets using the battle game can be registered, and they can be referred to as a history later. Further, the communication terminal 20 does not need to hold the history, and the capacity of the storage device or the like required by the communication terminal 20 can be reduced.

Further, the communication terminal 10 uses the microphone 12 to specify a quiz to play against the communication terminal 20, an opponent to play against, a product obtained as a result of the quiz, and a store to deliver the product, and a predetermined value is used with the microphone 12. The question and answer are created, the network communication unit 17 transmits the predetermined question and answer of the quiz, the sender, the product information, and the store information to the communication terminal 20, and the network communication unit 17 wins or loses the quiz from the server 30. Since the results are acquired, the products, services, and delivery position are sent together with the quiz when the quiz is performed, so there is no need for the opponents to contact each other separately to decide the benefits and delivery location, and the quiz and other battles When applying for a bet by a type game to the communication terminal 20, it is possible to specifically specify the product to be bet and the delivery place of the product.

Further, the delivery place of goods and services is a commercial facility such as a store, the network communication unit 17 acquires information about the store, etc., the display display unit 14 displays the information about the store, etc., and the microphone 12 is used. Since the store, etc. to be the delivery place of goods and services is specified, it can be the delivery place of the commercial facility, and the opponent visits the commercial facility to deliver the goods and services. It can be connected to attracting customers to commercial facilities.

Further, the network communication unit 17 receives menu information related to products and services provided at a designated store or the like, the display display unit 14 displays the menu information, and the microphone 12 is based on the displayed menu information. Therefore, since the products and services to be privileged are specified, the products and services provided by the designated stores can be the benefits obtained as a result of betting, and the sales of the stores, etc. can be increased. it can.

Further, the microphone 12 inputs a correct answer message when the predetermined question is answered correctly and an incorrect answer message when the answer is incorrect, and the network communication unit 17 inputs the correct answer message and the incorrect answer together with the quiz question and the answer. Since the message is sent, the correct answer message and the incorrect answer message can be set arbitrarily, and the correct answer and the incorrect answer of the quiz can be notified by these messages. In addition, by including a message regarding the giving and receiving of products in the correct answer message and the incorrect answer message, it is possible to make the content of the bet more specific, for example, "treat a glass of beer".

In the above-described embodiment, the benefits obtained mainly as a result of betting are mainly described with products such as beer, but the service may be a service such as a point service provided by the commercial facility. FIG. 15 is an example in which the product of the display example of FIG. 8 is used as a point. As shown in FIG. 15, by setting 300 points as a privilege depending on the correct or incorrect answer of the quiz and setting gifting or deprivation as an action, points based on the game result when going to the commercial facility after the quiz is completed. You can make changes. Alternatively, a discount coupon or the like may be used as a privilege, and if the quiz is answered correctly, a discount coupon may be obtained and used when going to the commercial facility.

Next, the communication terminal according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The configuration of the communication terminal according to this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, but the operation of registering game information and the like to the server 30 is different. The operation of the question terminal (communication terminal 10), the answer terminal (communication terminal 20), and the server 30 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The flowchart of FIG. 16 is executed by the CPU 18 (question terminal), the CPU 28 (answer terminal), and the CPU 35 (server), respectively.

First, in the question terminal, in step S701, game information including a quiz question, an answer, a message, store information, product information, a destination, and the like is created, and the process proceeds to step S702. That is, the flowchart of FIG. 4 is executed, but when transmission is executed in step S116, steps S702 to 707 described below are executed, and a message requesting a bet by a game (quiz) is transmitted to the destination. Will be done.

Next, in step S702, the game information created in step S701 is transmitted to the server 30, and the process proceeds to step S703. That is, the game information is transmitted from the network communication unit 17. In this embodiment, when the question terminal creates the game information, it is registered in the game result detail database 33 of the server 30. Of course, only the information generated by the question terminal is registered, and the information generated by the answer terminal such as the result is registered later. That is, the game result detail database 33 functions as a game content storage means, and the CPU 35 functions as a second control unit.

Next, in step S703, the server 30 receives the game information transmitted from the question terminal and proceeds to step S704. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the game information.

Next, in step S704, the game information received in step S703 is given a Game ID, registered in the game result detail database 33, and the process proceeds to step S705. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, game information (question date, questioner, answerer, question content, correct answer, POI ID, product) is registered for each Game ID.

Next, in step S705, the Game ID given in step S704 is transmitted to the question terminal, and the process proceeds to step S706. That is, the Game ID is transmitted from the network communication unit 34.

Next, in step S706, the question terminal receives the Game ID transmitted from the server 30 and proceeds to step S707. That is, the network communication unit 17 receives the Game ID.

Next, in step S707, the Game ID received in step S706 is transmitted to the answering terminal, and the process proceeds to step S708. That is, the network communication unit 17 transmits the Game ID. By executing this step, a message requesting a bet by the game is sent to the answering terminal. In the case of this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the actual game content is not directly transmitted to the answer terminal, but only the Game ID and the sender information are transmitted.

Next, in the answer terminal, in step S708, the Game ID transmitted from the question terminal is received, and the process proceeds to step S709. That is, the network communication unit 27 receives the Game ID.

Next, in step S709, the server 30 is requested to acquire the game content (quiz problem) of the Game ID received in step S708, and the process proceeds to step S710. That is, the network communication unit 27 transmits the Game ID.

Next, in step S710, the server 30 searches the game result detail database 33 from the Game ID received from the answer terminal, and proceeds to step S711.

Next, in step S711, the game content (quiz question) searched in step S710 is transmitted to the answer terminal, and the process proceeds to step S712. That is, the network communication unit 34 transmits the game content.

Next, in the answer terminal, in step S712, the game content is received from the server 30 and the process proceeds to step S713. That is, the network communication unit 27 receives the game content.

Next, in step S713, the game is executed, the correct answer is inquired to the server 30, and the process proceeds to step S714. In this step, the operations corresponding to steps S201 to S208 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 are executed. That is, the display unit 14 of the answer terminal displays the application for the game, the content of the game (quiz), the store information, and the information of the product to be bet, confirms whether or not the player agrees with the game, outputs the voice of the question, and answers. It even inputs the voice of and confirms the answer. Then, the network communication unit 27 inquires the server 30 of the correct answer by the Game ID.

Next, in step S714, the server 30 searches for a correct answer from the received Game ID and proceeds to step S715. Not only the correct answer, but also the correct answer message, the incorrect answer message, and the action at the time of the correct answer or the incorrect answer are searched at the same time. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the inquiry content, and the CPU 35 searches the game result detail database 33.

Next, in step S715, the correct answer, the correct answer message, the incorrect answer message, the correct answer, the action at the time of the incorrect answer, and the like searched in step S714 are transmitted to the answer terminal, and the process proceeds to step S716. That is, the network communication unit 34 transmits a correct answer, a correct answer message, an incorrect answer message, an action at the time of the correct answer, an incorrect answer, and the like.

Next, in the answer terminal, in step S716, the correct answer or the like is received from the server 30 and the process proceeds to step S717. That is, the network communication unit 27 receives the correct answer, the correct answer message, the incorrect answer message, the correct answer, the action at the time of the incorrect answer, and the like.

Next, in step S717, a correct / incorrect determination is made as to whether or not the answer input based on the correct answer received in step S717 is correct, the determination result is displayed on the display unit 14, and the process proceeds to step S718. In this step, operations corresponding to steps S209 to S212 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 are executed. That is, correct / incorrect judgment and message display and action processing set according to whether the answer is correct or incorrect are performed.

Next, in step S718, the game result is transmitted in order to register the game result and the input answer determined in step S717 in the server 30, and registration in the game result detail database 33 is requested. Proceed to S720. In this step, the operation corresponding to step S213 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is executed, and the game result is transmitted from the network communication unit 27.

Next, in step S719, the server 30 registers the game result transmitted from the answer terminal in the game result detail database 33 and updates the database. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the game result, and the CPU 35 registers the game result in the game detailed result database 33.

On the other hand, in the answer terminal, in step S720, a message indicating that the game result has been obtained is transmitted to the question terminal including the Game ID, and the process proceeds to step S721. Note that this message does not have to include the outcome of the game itself. That is, step S214 of FIG. 5 is executed. In this step, the operation corresponding to step S214 of the flowchart of FIG. 5 is executed, and a message indicating that the game result has been obtained is transmitted from the network communication unit 27.

Next, in step S721, the question terminal receives the message including the Game ID transmitted from the answer terminal and proceeds to step S722. That is, the network communication unit 17 receives the message including the Game ID.

Next, in step S722, the game result is inquired to the server 30 based on the Game ID received in step S721, and the process proceeds to step S723. That is, the network communication unit 17 transmits inquiry information such as a Game ID.

Next, in step S723, the server 30 searches the game result detail database 33 based on the Game ID transmitted from the question terminal and proceeds to step S724. That is, the network communication unit 34 receives the Game ID, and the CPU 35 searches the game detailed result database 33.

Next, in step S724, the game result obtained as a result of the search in step S723 is transmitted to the question terminal, and the process proceeds to step S725. That is, the network communication unit 34 transmits the game result.

Next, in step S725, the game result is acquired from the server 30 and displayed on the display display unit 14. The network communication unit 17 receives the game result, and the CPU 28 causes the display unit 14 to display the game result. In this way, the question terminal can know the game result, and the game information and the game result are registered in the server 30 from the answer terminal.

In the flowchart of FIG. 16, the notification that the game result is output is transmitted from the answer terminal to the question terminal after the game result is output on the answer terminal as in the first embodiment, but the server 30 is the game result detailed database. After updating 33 (after step S719), the server 30 may notify the question terminal that the game result has been obtained. That is, the server 30 may perform step S720. Further, the question terminal registered the game information in the server 30, the game ID was transmitted from the server 30 to the question terminal, and the game ID was transmitted from the question terminal to the answer terminal, but the game ID was transmitted from the server 30 to the question terminal. (After step S705), the Game ID may also be transmitted to the answering terminal. That is, the server 30 may perform step S707.

Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 16, the correct answer of the game (quiz) was inquired to the server 30 from the answer terminal, but when the game content was acquired (step S712), the correct answer, the correct answer message, and the incorrect answer were not received in addition to the game content (quiz content). The correct answer message and the like may be received at the same time. In that case, steps S713 to S716 are unnecessary.

Further, although the game result is registered in the server 30 from the answer terminal, the game result may be transmitted to the question terminal as the game result and the game result may be registered in the server 30 from the question terminal.

According to this embodiment, the server 30 that is communicably connected to the communication terminal 10 via the network is associated with the battle-type game information, the opponent information, the product information, and the store information transmitted from the communication terminal 10. It has a game result detail database 33 in which the information is stored, registration of each information transmitted from the communication terminal 10 in the game result detail database 33, and a CPU 35 for searching the game result in response to a request from the communication terminal. Therefore, it is possible to register the battle game and the content of the bet using the battle game in the information processing device such as the server. Further, it is not necessary for the communication terminal to hold the history, and the capacity of the storage device or the like required by the communication terminal can be reduced.

Further, since the question terminal registers the game information in the server 30 and the answer terminal accesses the server to perform a quiz, the capacity of the message transmitted from the question terminal to the answer terminal can be reduced. Further, since the question terminal may receive necessary information from the server 30 and display it, the amount of memory and the like used can be reduced.

Next, the communication terminal according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The same parts as those of the first and second embodiments described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

This embodiment is an example in which the server 30 is not used when executing the game. That is, it is a case where each communication terminal has a database corresponding to the game result detail database 33. That is, the game result storage means is provided inside the communication terminal. The POI database 31 and the friend information database 32 may be provided in a server or the like outside the communication terminal, or may be possessed by each communication terminal.

First, in the question terminal, in step S801, game information including a quiz question, an answer, a message, store information, product information, a destination, and the like is created, and the process proceeds to step S802. That is, the flowchart of FIG. 4 is executed, but when the transmission is executed in step S116, steps S802 and S803 described below are executed, and a message for applying for a bet by the game is transmitted to the destination.

Next, in step S802, the game information created in step S801 is given a Game ID, registered in the local game result detail database (hereinafter referred to as the question side database) held by the question terminal, and the process proceeds to step S803. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, game information (question date, questioner, answerer, question content, correct answer, POI ID, product) is registered for each Game ID. That is, only the information generated by the question terminal is registered in the question side database, and the information generated by the answer terminal such as the result is registered later. The Game ID is generated so as to be a unique ID not only in itself but also in the answering terminal, for example, including a time stamp.

Next, in step S803, the Game ID assigned in step S803 and the game information are transmitted to the answering terminal, and the process proceeds to step S804. By executing this step, a message requesting a bet by the game is sent to the answering terminal. In the case of this embodiment, the contents registered in the question-side database are transmitted from the network communication unit 17 together with the Game ID.

Next, in the answer terminal, in step S804, the Game ID and the game information transmitted from the question terminal are received, and the process proceeds to step S805. That is, the network communication unit 27 receives the Game ID and the game information.

Next, in step S805, the Game ID and game information received in step S804 are registered in the local game result detail database (hereinafter referred to as the answering side database) held by the answering terminal, and the process proceeds to step S806.

Next, in step S806, the game is displayed and executed, and the process proceeds to step S807. In this step, the operations corresponding to steps S201 to S208 in FIG. 5 are executed. That is, the display unit 14 of the answer terminal displays the application for the game, the content of the game (quiz), the store information, and the information of the product to be bet, confirms whether or not the player agrees with the game, outputs the voice of the question, and answers. It even inputs the voice of and confirms the answer.

Next, in step S807, correctness determination and display are performed, and the process proceeds to step S808. In this step, the correct / incorrect judgment of the answer input by the user is searched from the answer side database, the correct / incorrect result is determined, and the result is displayed on the display display unit 24. That is, the operations corresponding to steps S209 to S212 in FIG. 5 are executed to perform correct / incorrect determination, message display and action processing set according to whether the answer is correct or incorrect.

Next, in step S808, the answer side database is updated based on the correct / incorrect result determined in step S807 and the input answer, and the process proceeds to step S809. In this step, an operation corresponding to step S213 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is executed.

Next, in step S809, the Game ID and the game result (input answer, correct / incorrect result, answer date, etc.) are transmitted to the question terminal, and the process proceeds to step S810. In this step, an operation corresponding to step S214 of the flowchart of FIG. 5 is executed. That is, the game ID and the game result are transmitted from the network communication unit 27.

Next, in step S810, the question terminal receives the Game ID and the game result transmitted from the answer terminal, and proceeds to step S811. That is, the network communication unit 17 receives the Game ID and the game result.

Next, in step S811, the question-side database is updated based on the Game ID and the game result received in step S810, and the process proceeds to step S812.

Next, in step S812, the game result received in step S810 is displayed on the display display unit 14. In this way, the question terminal can know the game result, and the same data is registered and synchronized in both the question side database and the answer side database.

According to this embodiment, the communication terminal 10 and the communication terminal 20 directly send and receive game information without going through a server to execute a game (quiz), so that the game is executed or the history is referred to. It is not necessary to set up an external server in order to do so, and it is possible to make a bet using the game only with a communication terminal.

In the above three examples, the answer terminal is described in the case of one, but for example, in the case of a quiz, it is possible to give questions to a plurality of people at the same time. That is, there may be a plurality of answer terminals. In that case, in the game result detail database 33, an individual Game ID may be assigned to each answerer.

Further, in the above-mentioned three examples, the question of the quiz is one question, but it may be a plurality of questions. In that case, for example, the answerer may win if all the questions are answered correctly, or the answerer may win if more than half of the questions are answered correctly. Alternatively, each problem may be won or lost. In addition, a plurality of products and services that are benefits obtained as a result of betting may be prepared so that the number of products acquired by the answerer changes depending on the number of correct answers, and the grade of the products and services increases as the number of correct answers increases. You may want to go up (more pizza toppings, higher wines, more points earned, etc.). Alternatively, the product or service may change depending on the problem.

As a concrete example of changing the product or service (privilege) for each problem, not only the product or service is different for each problem, but also the difficulty level is set for each problem, and the product or service is set according to the difficulty level. You may want to change the service.

In addition, the products and services that are the benefits obtained as a result of betting are not limited to being specified by the questioner, and may be presented as recommendations in consideration of the user's taste. In addition, if there is a high-priority product or service sponsored by a commercial facility such as a selected store, the product or service may be presented with priority.

Alternatively, the quiz created by the questioner may be transmitted to the server 30 first, and the server may analyze the content of the quiz and present the recommended store, product, or the like to the questioner. In the analysis of the quiz content, for example, when a specific word is included in the quiz content, the word can be searched from the categories, subcategories, menus, etc. of the POI database 31, or a database in which the word is associated with the store, product, etc. in advance. Etc. may be prepared and searched.

In addition, if the answerer does not want the product or service that is the privilege specified by the questioner, the answerer may be able to change the product or service. In this case, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the questioner. Alternatively, the questioner may prepare a plurality of commercial facilities, a plurality of products, and the like and send them to the answerer so that the answerer can select the desired commercial facility or product.

Further, in the above three examples, when the questioner wins (the answerer is an incorrect answer), the answerer treats the questioner (the questioner acquires the product specified by the questioner), and the answerer In the case of winning (the answerer is the correct answer), the questioner treats the answerer (the answerer wins the product specified by the questioner), but even if the answerer can also specify the product. Good.

In the above case, for example, when the questioner specifies the product a of the store A and gives the quiz to the answerer, the answerer specifies the product b of the store A and replies to the questioner, and the questioner approves. If you do, the answerer will give you a quiz. Then, if the questioner wins, the questioner acquires the product b specified by the answerer, and if the answerer wins, the answerer acquires the product a specified by the questioner. Alternatively, if the questioner wins, the questioner may acquire the product a specified by the questioner, and if the answerer wins, the answerer may acquire the product b specified by the answerer. .. In this example, the stores are the same, but of course they may be different.

In addition, even if the questioner and the answerer switch positions and ask each other one question at a time, and the answerer is incorrect in the first quiz, the questioner is incorrect in the quiz given by the next answerer. In that case, it may be possible to eliminate the delivery of benefits by betting as a draw. The method of drawing is not limited to the method in which the questioner and the answerer exchange positions and ask one question at a time, but when the questioner asks two questions and the answerer wins and loses one. It may be a draw.

Further, not only an individual general user gives a quiz to a friend, but also a person related to a commercial facility may be a questioner to give a question to an unspecified number of users. In this case, the product or service may be the product or service provided by the commercial facility that is the questioner, and if the user wins, the product or service may be provided at the commercial facility.

In addition, it is sufficient that at least the answerer (the side who applied for the bet) can obtain the benefits such as the products to bet. For example, if the answerer answers the quiz incorrectly, it is not necessary to give the questioner some privilege, and the answerer may simply not get the privilege.

Further, in the above-described embodiment and the like, the quiz is described as a battle-type game, but the quiz is not limited to the quiz, and other games such as playing cards and puzzle games may be used as long as the battle-type game determines the outcome. Further, the game system is not limited to playing a game installed on a communication terminal, and may be installed on a server and the communication terminal may access the server.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the commercial facility is described as the delivery place (POI) of the privilege, and the product or service provided at the commercial facility is described as the privilege. As a privilege, you may treat the property (books, CDs, etc.) of the person applying for the bet such as the questioner or home cooking.
