<Game overview>
The game according to the first embodiment is a position information game that reflects the position and movement of the player in the real world in the game content. In this game, for example, when the player moves in the real world, the player character arranged in the game field (virtual world) also moves. This player character is one or more characters available to the player in the game. The player gives an instruction to the player character by performing an input operation or the like on the touch panel 32.

Further, in the game according to the first embodiment, there are a field mode and an event mode. The field mode is a mode in which the player character moves in the game field. In this field mode, the player instructs the player character to equip (attach / detach) the equipment item he / she owns and to use (consume) the consumable item he / she owns. Equipment items include, for example, weapons, armor, accessories, and the like. Examples of consumable items include tools for recovering the hit points of the player character, tools for recovering abnormal status of the player character (paralysis, confusion, etc.), tools for strengthening equipment items, and the like. Further, the event mode is a mode in which the player moves in the real world, that is, the player character moves in the game field to perform an event corresponding to an enemy character or a boss character appearing (encountered) in the game field. This event is, for example, a battle game in which a player character plays a battle against an enemy character or a boss character. In this battle game, the player instructs the player character to attack the appearing enemy character (normal monster) or boss character (boss monster), use skills, defend, use (consume) items, and the like. For example, when the player (player character) wins the enemy character, that is, when the battle game is cleared, the reward is given to the player. This victory means, for example, reducing the hit points of the enemy character to 0 or less. The rewards are, for example, experience points for growing (leveling up) the player character, currencies (for example, medals and coins) that can be used in the game, drop items (for example, equipment items and consumable items), and the like. For example, if the enemy character's ability is high or the appearance frequency is low, a lot of experience points, currencies, and drop items with high rarity will be given as rewards. In this way, the event mode is more interesting than the field mode because a battle game with an enemy character is played and a reward is given to the player.

In addition, the game according to the first embodiment has a plurality of types of quests, each of which has a different name (title). The quest can be selected by the player on the quest menu screen or the like. This quest is associated with an enemy character that appears in the game field and a boss character that appears at the goal point of the quest. For example, the player can select a new quest by winning the battle with the boss character. The new quest has a higher difficulty level than, for example, a quest that the player can already select, and the abilities of the enemy character and the boss character become higher.

Further, in the game according to the first embodiment, a goal point of each quest is set as a landmark in the player's real world, that is, a virtual landmark in the game field. Examples of this landmark include commercial facilities, public facilities, and tourist spots. On the way to the goal point of the quest, the player can encounter the enemy character according to the quest and the position information. In addition, the player can encounter the boss character corresponding to the quest by moving to the vicinity of the landmark where the goal point of the quest is set (for example, within a radius of 20 m). The goal point of each quest may be set by the player or the game operator.

The location information history includes, for example, a history of location information for one hour. The accumulated information includes group information, an appearance position, and an accumulation period for each enemy character that appears in the game field, in association with the character ID of the enemy character. Enemy characters (character IDs) of a predetermined number (for example, 20) or less are accumulated in this accumulated information. The group information is a value for indicating the enemy characters that appear at the same time as one group. The appearance position includes the position information in the real world where the enemy character appears. The accumulation period includes an elapsed period (elapsed time) after the character ID of the enemy character is accumulated (stored).

The player character information 50B is stored for each player character in association with the character ID of the player character. The player character information 50B includes, for example, the name and image of the player character, the required experience value for each level, the ability information according to the level, the items that can be equipped, and the like.

The equipable item includes the item ID of the equipable equipment item.

The enemy character information 50C is stored for each enemy character in association with the character ID of the enemy character. This enemy character also includes a boss character. The enemy character information 50C includes, for example, the name and image of the enemy character, the appearance frequency, the appearance area, the accumulable period, the ability information, the reward information, and the like. The appearance frequency includes a numerical value according to the frequency at which the enemy character appears in the game field. For example, "50" is set for the enemy character with the highest appearance frequency (lowest rarity), and "1" is set for the enemy character with the lowest appearance frequency (highest rarity). The appearance area includes the real-world area (range) where the enemy character appears. This area is, for example, the range indicated by the latitude and longitude of the real world. The appearance area may be an area (range) indicated by the coordinates of the game field. When an enemy character appears, the accumulable period includes a period (deadline) during which the enemy character can be accumulated in the accumulated information of the player information 50A. For example, the higher the frequency of appearance, the longer the period that can be accumulated is associated, and the lower the frequency of appearance, the shorter the period. For example, when the appearance frequency is "50", the accumulable period is associated with "50 hours", and when the appearance frequency is "1", the accumulable period is associated with "1 hour". Ability information includes ability values and skill information. Reward information includes experience points, currency amounts, and drop item information. The drop item information includes the item ID of the drop item and the drop rate. The drop rate is the probability of giving a drop item to a player as a reward.

The character appearance information includes character IDs of various characters that appear in the game field during quest execution. For example, the character appearance information includes character IDs such as an enemy character (normal monster) and a boss character (boss monster) that appears at the goal.

The item information 50E is stored for each item in association with the item ID of the item. This item information 50E includes an item name, an image, an item classification, a rarity, and an effect. The item classification includes a flag value indicating the classification of equipment items such as weapons and armor, and consumable items such as tools. Rarity includes, for example, a number from 1 to 6. For example, an item with high rarity is set to have an effect that makes it advantageous to play against an enemy character. The effect includes, for example, a value in which the ability value changes (rises or falls) when the player character equips the equipment item, a value in which the player character's hit points are restored by using the consumable item, and the like.

The acquisition means 52 is a functional means for acquiring position information. In the first embodiment, the acquisition means 52 acquires the position information of the player in the real world. For example, the acquisition means 52 acquires the latitude and longitude indicating the current position of the terminal device 12 possessed by the player from the GPS receiving unit 39 at regular time intervals (for example, 5 seconds). Further, for example, the acquisition means 52 stores the acquired time and position information in the position information history of the player information 50A.

The determination means 54 is a functional means for performing various determinations. In the first embodiment, the determination means 54 determines whether or not a predetermined condition regarding the movement or position of the player is satisfied based on the position information acquired by the acquisition means 52. The predetermined conditions include that the player is moving, that the player has moved a predetermined distance, and that the position information is in the vicinity of the predetermined position. For example, the determination means 54 determines whether or not the player is moving at a predetermined speed (for example, 1 to 2 m / s) according to the position information (position information history) acquired by the acquisition means 52 at regular time intervals (for example, 5 seconds). Is determined. Specifically, the determination means 54 determines a predetermined time (for example, 30) according to a value (speed) obtained by dividing the difference (distance) between the front and rear position information included in the position information history by a fixed time (5 seconds). The average moving speed of the player in (seconds) is calculated, and it is determined whether or not the average moving speed is included in the range of 1 to 2 m per second. Further, for example, the determination means 54 determines whether or not the player has moved a predetermined distance (for example, 5 km) according to the position information acquired by the acquisition means 52 at regular time intervals. Specifically, the determination means 54 calculates a value obtained by summing the differences (distances) of the front and rear position information included in the position information history, that is, the total movement distance of the player in a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour). It is determined whether or not the total travel distance has reached 5 km. Further, for example, the determination means 54 determines whether or not the position information is in the vicinity of a predetermined position (for example, within 10 m) according to the position information acquired by the acquisition means 52. Examples of this predetermined position include one or more landmarks. This predetermined position may be changed at regular intervals (for example, one day).

The selection means 56 is a functional means for selecting an enemy character (content). In the first embodiment, the selection means 56 selects one or more enemy characters from a plurality of types of enemy characters based on the appearance frequency, regardless of the request from the player, in response to the affirmation of the determination by the determination means 54. select. For example, when the player is moving at a predetermined speed, the selection means 56 automatically selects one or more enemy characters based on the appearance frequency of a plurality of types of enemy characters appearing in the quest executed by the player. select. Specifically, the selection means 56 refers to the player information 50A and the quest information 50D, and acquires the enemy character appearance information associated with the quest ID of the quest being executed by the player. Subsequently, the selection means 56 refers to the enemy character information 50C and acquires the appearance frequency of each enemy character appearing in the game field included in the acquired enemy character appearance information. Subsequently, the selection means 56 divides the appearance frequency of each enemy character by the total appearance frequency of each enemy character to calculate the appearance probability of each enemy character. Then, the selection means 56 randomly (randomly) selects one or more enemy characters according to the appearance probability. For example, when the appearance frequency of the enemy character A is "50" and the total appearance frequency of each enemy character is "250", the appearance probability of the enemy character A is "20%". The selection means 56 randomly determines the number of selected enemy characters.

Further, the selection means 56 selects an enemy character based on the position information acquired by the acquisition means 52. For example, the selection means 56 selects an enemy character that includes the acquired position information in the appearance area. Specifically, the selection means 56 refers to the enemy character information 50C and selects an enemy character that includes the acquired position information latitude and longitude in the appearance area. In this case, the selection means 56 may select an enemy character different from the enemy character appearing in the quest being executed by the player.

The storage means 58 is a functional means for storing various types of information in the storage information associated with the player. In the first embodiment, the storage means 58 stores one or more enemy characters selected by the selection means 56 in the storage information associated with the player. For example, the storage means 58 stores (stores) group information and a storage period in association with the character ID of each of one or more enemy characters selected for the storage information.

Further, the storage means 58 limits the number of enemy characters stored in the player's storage information to a predetermined number (for example, 20) or less. For example, when the number of enemy characters stored in the stored information reaches a predetermined number, the storage means 58 does not store new enemy characters in the stored information.

Further, in the storage means 58, when the number of enemy characters stored in the player's storage information has reached a predetermined number, when a new enemy character selected by the selection means 56 is stored, the amount of reward is increased. Enemy characters with a large number of characters or enemy characters with a low frequency of appearance are preferentially accumulated.

For example, the storage means 58 refers to the reward information of the enemy character information 50C, and acquires the experience value of the enemy character accumulated in the storage information of the player and the experience value of a new enemy character. Subsequently, the storage means 58 compares the experience value of the enemy character with the lowest experience value among the enemy characters stored in the stored information with the experience value of the new enemy character. Then, when the experience value of the new enemy character is high, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the enemy character having the lowest experience value from the storage information and stores the information about the new enemy character in the storage information. Replace.

Further, for example, the storage means 58 refers to the reward information of the enemy character information 50C, and acquires the currency amount of the enemy character stored in the storage information of the player and the currency amount of the new enemy character. Subsequently, the storage means 58 compares the currency amount of the enemy character with the lowest currency amount among the enemy characters stored in the stored information with the currency amount of the new enemy character. Then, when the currency amount of the new enemy character is high, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the enemy character having the lowest currency amount from the storage information and stores the information about the new enemy character in the storage information. Replace.

Further, for example, the storage means 58 refers to the appearance frequency of the enemy character information 50C, and acquires the appearance frequency of the enemy character accumulated in the stored information of the player and the appearance frequency of a new enemy character. Subsequently, the storage means 58 compares the appearance frequency of the enemy character with the highest appearance frequency among the enemy characters stored in the stored information with the appearance frequency of a new enemy character. Then, when the appearance frequency of the new enemy character is low, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the enemy character having the highest appearance frequency from the storage information and stores the information about the new enemy character in the storage information. Replace.

Further, the storage means 58 is acquired by the player when a new enemy character selected by the selection means 56 is stored when the number of enemy characters stored in the player's storage information has reached a predetermined number. Priority is given to the enemy characters associated with the rewards that have never been accumulated.

For example, the storage means 58 refers to the reward information of the enemy character information 50C, and acquires the drop items of each enemy character stored in the storage information of the player and the drop items of a new enemy character. Subsequently, the storage means 58 refers to the acquired item information of the player information 50A, and the drop item of the new enemy character is an item that the player has never acquired, and is stored in the accumulated information. If the drop item of the enemy character is an item that the player has acquired, the information about the accumulated enemy character is deleted from the accumulated information, and the information about the new enemy character is accumulated in the accumulated information. I do.

Further, when the number of enemy characters accumulated in the accumulated information has reached a predetermined number, the accumulating means 58 gives priority to the enemy characters that the player has never encountered when accumulating new enemy characters. accumulate.

For example, in the storage means 58, referring to the encounter information of the player information 50A, a new enemy character is an enemy character that the player has never encountered, and the enemy character that is stored in the player's storage information is If the enemy character has been encountered by the player, the stored information about the enemy character is deleted from the stored information, and the information about the new enemy character is stored in the stored information.

Further, the storage means 58 deletes the enemy character whose storage period has expired from the player's storage information. For example, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the enemy character from the storage information when the storage period of the enemy character stored in the storage information exceeds the storage period of the enemy character. The storage means 58 deletes information about the enemy character from the stored information as the event (competition game) corresponding to the enemy character stored in the player's stored information is executed.

Further, the storage means 58 stores one or more enemy characters selected by the selection means 56 as one group in the player's storage information, and limits the number of the storage groups to a predetermined number (for example, 5) or less. For example, when the number of groups accumulated in the accumulated information of the player has reached a predetermined number, the accumulating means 58 does not accumulate a new group in the accumulated information.

Further, the storage means 58 is a group having a large amount of reward when a new group selected by the selection means 56 is stored when the number of groups stored in the player's storage information has reached a predetermined number. Alternatively, preferentially accumulate groups that include enemy characters that appear infrequently.

For example, the accumulation means 58 refers to the reward information of the enemy character information 50C, and refers to the experience value of each enemy character included in the group accumulated in the accumulated information of the player, and each of the enemy characters included in the new group. Get experience points. Subsequently, the accumulation means 58 compares the total experience value of each enemy character included in the group accumulated in the accumulated information with the total experience value of each enemy character included in the new group. Then, when the total experience value of each enemy character included in the new group is high, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the group having the low total experience value from the accumulated information and stores the information about the new group. The stored information is replaced.

Further, for example, the storage means 58 refers to the reward information of the enemy character information 50C, and refers to the currency amount of each enemy character included in the group stored in the player's storage information, and the enemy character included in the new group. Get each currency amount. Subsequently, the storage means 58 compares the total currency amount of each enemy character included in the group stored in the stored information with the total currency amount of each enemy character included in the new group. Then, when the total currency amount of each enemy character included in the new group is high, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the group having a low total currency amount from the stored information and stores the information about the new group. The stored information is replaced.

Further, for example, the storage means 58 refers to the appearance frequency of the enemy character information 50C, and refers to the appearance frequency of each enemy character included in the group stored in the accumulated information of the player, and the enemy character included in the new group. Get the frequency of each occurrence. Subsequently, the storage means 58 has the lowest appearance frequency of the enemy characters included in the group stored in the stored information and the highest appearance frequency of the enemy characters included in the new group. Compare with the appearance frequency of low enemy characters. Then, when the appearance frequency of the enemy character included in the new group is low, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the stored group from the stored information and converts the information about the new group into the stored information. Replace the accumulated.

Further, the storage means 58 deletes the group whose storage period has passed from the storage information of the player. Here, the group is associated with a storage period according to the appearance frequency of the enemy characters included in the group. For example, the accumulating period of a group is the same as the accumulating period of the enemy character included in the group and having the lowest appearance frequency. In other words, the accumulable period of the group is the same as the accumulable period of the enemy character having the shortest accumulable period included in the group. For example, the storage means 58 deletes each enemy character included in the group from the storage information when the storage period of the group stored in the storage information exceeds the storage period of the group. The storage means 58 deletes the group from the stored information as the event (competition game) corresponding to the group stored in the player's stored information is executed.

The execution means 60 is a functional means for executing an event. In the first embodiment, the execution means 60 executes an event corresponding to the enemy character accumulated in the player's accumulated information at the request of the player. For example, the execution means 60 executes an event that encounters an enemy character accumulated in the accumulated information at the request of the player. Specifically, the execution means 60 executes a battle game with the enemy character in response to a battle request with the enemy character accumulated in the accumulated information from the player.

Further, the execution means 60 executes an event corresponding to the group accumulated in the accumulated information of the player at the request of the player. For example, the execution means 60 executes an event that encounters a group accumulated in the player's accumulated information at the request of the player. Specifically, the execution means 60 executes a battle game with the group in response to a battle request from the player with the group stored in the stored information.

Further, the execution means 60 gives the player a reward for the enemy character accumulated in the player's accumulated information according to the execution of the event. For example, when the execution means 60 wins the battle game with the enemy character accumulated in the accumulated information, the execution means 60 gives the player a reward associated with the enemy character. This reward includes, for example, experience points, currencies, drop items, and the like.

Further, the execution means 60 permits the execution of the event regardless of whether or not the player is moving. That is, the execution means 60 permits the execution of the battle game regardless of whether or not the player is moving.

Further, the execution means 60 limits the execution of the event when the player is moving. That is, the execution means 60 limits (prohibits) the execution of the battle game when the player is moving. For example, the execution means 60 refers to the position information history of the player information 50A, and when it detects that the player is moving, stops the execution of the battle game.

--- Second embodiment ---
Next, the second embodiment will be described.

The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the selection means 56 selects an event, the storage means 58 stores the selected event, the execution means 60 executes the stored event, and the like. .. The configuration and functions of the game system according to the second embodiment, which are not described below, are the same as the configurations and functions of the game system according to the first embodiment.

The storage means 50 stores event information. The event information is stored in association with the event ID of the event for each event. This event information includes, for example, the name and appearance frequency of the event, the appearance area, the appearance character information, the accumulable period, the reward information, and the like. The frequency of occurrence includes a numerical value according to the frequency of appearance of the event in the game field. The spawn area includes the real-world area (range) where the event appears. The appearing character information includes character IDs of various characters appearing in the event. The appearing character information includes, for example, the character IDs of one or more enemy characters. When an event appears, the accumulable period includes a period (deadline) during which the event can be accumulated in the accumulated information of the player information 50A. For example, the higher the frequency of appearance, the longer the period that can be accumulated is associated, and the lower the frequency of appearance, the shorter the period. The reward information includes experience points, currency amounts, and grant item information. The grant item information includes the item ID of the grant item and the grant rate. The grant rate is the probability of granting a grant item to the player as a reward.

The encounter information of the player information 50A includes an event ID of an event that has been encountered and an event ID of an event that has never been encountered.

The accumulated information of the player information 50A includes an appearance position and an accumulation period for each event that appears (encounters) in the game field in association with the event ID of the event. Events (event IDs) of a predetermined number (for example, 5) or less are accumulated in this accumulated information. The appearance position includes the position information (latitude and longitude) of the real world where the event appeared. The accumulation period includes an elapsed period (elapsed time) after the event ID of the event is accumulated (stored).

The quest information 50D includes event appearance information. The event appearance information includes event IDs of various events that appear in the game field during quest execution.

Further, in the second embodiment, the selection means 56 generates one or more events from a plurality of types of events based on the appearance frequency, regardless of the request from the player, in response to the affirmation of the determination by the determination means 54. select. For example, when the player moves a predetermined distance, the selection means 56 automatically selects one or more events based on the appearance frequency of a plurality of types of events appearing in the quest executed by the player. Specifically, the selection means 56 refers to the player information 50A and the quest information 50D, and acquires the event appearance information associated with the quest ID of the quest being executed by the player. Subsequently, the selection means 56 refers to the event information and acquires the appearance frequency of each event that appears in the game field included in the acquired event appearance information. Subsequently, the selection means 56 divides the appearance frequency of each event by the total appearance frequency of each event to calculate the appearance probability of each event. Then, the selection means 56 randomly selects one or more events according to the appearance probability.

Further, in the second embodiment, the storage means 58 stores one or more events selected by the selection means 56 in the storage information associated with the player. For example, the storage means 58 stores (stores) event IDs of one or more events selected in the storage information.

Further, the storage means 58 limits the number of events stored in the player's storage information to a predetermined number (for example, 5) or less. For example, when the number of events stored in the stored information reaches a predetermined number, the storage means 58 does not store new events in the stored information.

Further, when the number of events stored in the player's storage information has reached a predetermined number, the storage means 58 stores a new event selected by the selection means 56, and the event has a large amount of reward. Alternatively, events with low frequency of appearance are preferentially accumulated.

For example, the accumulation means 58 refers to the reward information of the event information, and acquires the experience value of the event accumulated in the accumulation information of the player and the experience value of a new event. Subsequently, the storage means 58 compares the experience value of the event with the lowest experience value among the events stored in the stored information with the experience value of the new event. Then, when the experience value of the new event is high, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the event having the lowest experience value from the stored information and replaces the information about the new event with the stored information. ..

Further, for example, the storage means 58 refers to the reward information of the event information and acquires the currency amount of the event stored in the storage information of the player and the currency amount of the new event. Subsequently, the storage means 58 compares the currency amount of the event with the lowest currency amount among the events stored in the stored information with the currency amount of the new event. Then, when the currency amount of the new event is high, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the event having the lowest currency amount from the stored information and replaces the information about the new event with the stored information. ..

Further, for example, the storage means 58 refers to the appearance frequency of the event information, and acquires the appearance frequency of the event stored in the accumulated information of the player and the appearance frequency of a new event. Subsequently, the storage means 58 compares the appearance frequency of the event with the highest appearance frequency among the events stored in the stored information with the appearance frequency of a new event. Then, when the appearance frequency of the new event is low, the storage means 58 deletes the information about the event having the highest frequency of appearance from the storage information and replaces the information about the new event with the storage information. ..

Further, when the number of events stored in the player's storage information has reached a predetermined number, the storage means 58 has been acquired by the player when the new event selected by the selection means 56 is stored. Priority is given to the events associated with no rewards.

For example, the storage means 58 refers to the reward information of the event information, and acquires the grant item for each event stored in the storage information of the player and the grant item for a new event. Subsequently, the storage means 58 refers to the acquired item information of the player information 50A, and the event that the new event granting item is an item that the player has never acquired and is accumulated in the accumulated information. If the granted item is an item that the player has acquired, the accumulated event is deleted from the accumulated information, and a new event is accumulated in the accumulated information.

Further, when the number of events stored in the player's storage information has reached a predetermined number, the storage means 58 may have encountered a player when storing a new event selected by the selection means 56. Prioritize and accumulate non-events.

For example, the storage means 58 refers to the encounter information of the player information 50A, and the new event is an event that the player has never encountered, and the event that is stored in the player's storage information is the player's encounter. If the event has been performed, the information about the accumulated event is deleted from the accumulated information, and the information about the new event is accumulated in the accumulated information.

Further, the storage means 58 deletes the event for which the storage period has elapsed from the storage information of the player. For example, the storage means 58 deletes the event from the storage information when the storage period of the event stored in the storage information exceeds the storage period of the event. The storage means 58 deletes the event from the stored information as the event (competition game) stored in the player's stored information is executed.

Further, in the second embodiment, the execution means 60 executes the event accumulated in the accumulated information of the player at the request of the player. For example, the execution means 60 executes an event that encounters an appearing character related to the event in response to an event execution request stored in the accumulated information from the player. Specifically, the execution means 60 executes a battle game with the appearing characters related to the event in response to the execution request of the event accumulated in the accumulated information from the player.
