That is, a wireless router for short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi is installed in the game venue 1, and the system management device 30 can communicate with a plurality of user terminals 42 via the wireless router.

[Functional configuration of system management device]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the system management device 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the system management device 30 executes various functions by the control unit 31 executing the computer program 32a stored in the storage unit 32. Specifically, the system management device 30 includes a user registration means 50, a play reception means (entry reception means) 51, a credit score acquisition means 52, an influence determination means 53, a schedule management means 54, a game progress management means 55, and a progress display means. It functions as the 56 and the guiding means 57.

The user registration means 50 registers in advance each user who is scheduled to participate in the competitive game of the game tournament held at the game venue 1. Specifically, the user information including the identification information of each user is stored in the storage unit 32 of the system management device 30.

The play receiving means 51 is based on the acquisition of user information by the user information acquisition device 20, and the play application from the user (entry application from the user in the game tournament) for the battle game in which the user specified by the user information is the battle user. ) Is accepted.

The credit score acquisition means 52 receives the credit score for the corresponding user based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition device 20. That is, the system management device 30 accesses the external credit score management device 41, receives the credit score of the user corresponding to the user information, associates it with the user information, and stores it in the storage unit 32.

The influence determining means 53 determines the influence given to the competitive game played by the user corresponding to the acquired credit score based on the acquired credit score. For example, for a user with a high credit score (a user who can be relatively trusted), the setting content that this user has an advantage in the battle game is determined as "the influence given to the battle game". On the contrary, for a user having a low credit score (a user who cannot be trusted relatively), the setting content that this user is disadvantageous in the battle game is determined as "the influence given to the battle game".

The schedule management means 54 manages the start condition of the battle game including at least the information about the start time of the battle game and the battle user.

The game progress management means 55 manages the progress of the competitive game including the determination of victory or defeat. Further, the game progress management means 55 determines whether or not the start condition for the battle game is satisfied based on the battle game managed by the schedule management means 54 and the user information of the battle game received by the play reception means (entry reception means) 51. If it is determined that the start condition is satisfied, the battle game is set to the execution permission state, and the game is executed (started) based on the user's operation.

The progress display means 56 displays game progress information including at least one of the schedule of each battle game managed by the schedule management means 54 and the winning / losing result of the battle game managed by the game progress management means 55. To display. Further, the progress display means 56 updates the game progress information to be displayed on the venue monitor 13 based on the result of each battle game.

The guidance means 57 transmits guidance information about the battle game to the user terminal 42 possessed by the user in the game venue 1. This guidance information includes information indicating a place where the user plays the next battle game, that is, a battle space 2 in which the battle game played by the user is played among the plurality of battle spaces 2.

[Game system operation flow]
Next, an operation example of the game system 100 when the game tournament is held at the game venue 1 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the system management device 100 receives a registration application from a user who wants to participate in the game tournament before the game tournament is held. Specifically, each user operates the user registration device 40 and inputs necessary information in a predetermined input form to apply for registration to the effect that he / she wishes to participate in the game tournament (step S10). The user registration device 40 transmits input information regarding a user registration application to the system management device 30. Upon receiving this, the system management device 30 functions as the user registration means 50, stores the received information in the storage unit 32, and accepts the registration application for this user (S100). In this way, the system management device 30 receives registration applications from each user who is scheduled to participate by the time the game tournament is held.

In the present embodiment, when the system management device 100 receives the user registration application, the system management device 100 transmits the identification information (ID, QR code, etc.) for identifying the user to the user registration device 40. Further, the system management device 100 determines the combination of users who will compete in the game tournament, the start time of each competition, the place to play (competition space 2), and the like, based on the user who has received the registration application. Among them, the start time of the battle game and the information about the user who plays the battle game are included in the "start condition" of the battle game. Then, the start condition of each battle game is managed by the system management device 100 that functions as the schedule management means 54.

After that, when the game tournament is held at a predetermined date and time and the game venue 1 is opened, users from various places gather at the game venue 1, and the first round is held at a predetermined time. The user who will play in the first round confirms the battle space 2 to be played by the user in advance or by the guidance at the venue. Then, the user operates the user information acquisition device 20 provided in the battle space 2 to make a play application (entry application) for playing the battle game.

Specifically, the user operates the user information acquisition device 20 to input his / her own user information. This user information includes at least user identification information (ID, QR code, etc.). When the user information acquisition device 20 receives the user information input by the user (step S20), the user information acquisition device 20 makes a play request (entry request) by transmitting the user information to the system management device 100 (step S21). Then, the system management device 100 that has received this functions as a play reception means 51, and receives a play request for a battle game in which the user specified by the received user information is the battle user (step S101).

When the system management device 100 receives the user information, it determines whether or not it matches the start condition of each battle game that has been managed in advance. Specifically, whether the user information is included in the user information registered in advance, or the user information acquisition device 20 operated by the user (where the user information is input) is a battle space to be played by this user. Judge whether it is the one of 2 or whether the timing of the play application is appropriate. Then, if there is no defect in any of the items, the play request from this user (that is, the play request from the user information acquisition device 20 operated by this user) is accepted (step S101). On the other hand, if any of the items is deficient, the information indicating the deficiency is transmitted to the user information acquisition device 20 and displayed on the monitor or the like of the user information acquisition device 20.

Next, the system management device 100 functions as a credit score acquisition means 52 to acquire the credit score of the user who has received the play request. That is, the system management device 100 requests the credit score from the external credit score management device 41 based on the user information of this user (step S102). When the credit score management device 41 receives this request (step S30), it queries its own database, extracts the corresponding credit score, and transmits it to the system management device 100 (step S31). As a result, the system management device 100 receives the user's credit score (step S103).

The system management device 100 functions as the influence determination means 53, and determines the influence to be given to the battle game based on the received credit score (step S104).

There are various examples of the influence given to the battle game, and for example, the following contents can be adopted.

As an example of the influence given to the battle game, the setting value regarding the character's own ability (status) such as the physical strength value and the attack power of the character used by the user in the battle game may be changed. In this case, as an effect that the user has an advantage, such a setting value may be increased for a user having a high credit score, and as an effect that is disadvantageous, such a setting value may be decreased for a user having a low credit score. ..

As another example of the effect, the in-game cost required for the user to select a character or item may be changed from the initial setting value. In this case, as an advantageous effect, such a setting value may be lowered for a user having a high credit score, and as a disadvantageous effect, such a setting value may be increased for a user having a low credit score.

As yet another example of the influence, in a battle game in which the character to be used by the user is selected, the priority of selection (leading position) may be set. In this case, as an advantageous effect, a user having a high credit score may preferentially select a character under the condition that each user who plays against the opponent cannot select the same character, or instead, the character may be selected preferentially. , Or, in addition to this, the choice of characters (type, quantity, etc.) by the opponent user may be restricted.

As yet another example of the effect, the type or quantity of items that the user can possess may be changed from the initial setting value. In this case, as an advantageous effect, for a user with a high credit score, the type or quantity of items that can be possessed may be larger than the default value. In addition, as a disadvantageous effect, for a user with a low credit score, the type or quantity of items that can be possessed may be less than the default value.

As an example of changing the type of items that the user can possess from the initial setting value, the effect of the items that the user can possess may be changed according to the credit score. Specifically, even if the recovery drug has the same name or appearance, the recovery drug that can be possessed by a user with a high credit score has a large physical strength value to recover at the time of use, and the recovery drug that can be possessed by a user with a low credit score is at the time of use. The health value to recover is small. Alternatively, even if the weapons have the same name or appearance, a weapon possessed by a user with a high credit score has a large attack power, and a weapon possessed by a user with a low credit score has a small attack power. The name and appearance of each item may be different depending on the difference in the effect.

As yet another example of the influence, a method of determining the outcome in the case of a draw in a competitive game may be included. For example, as an advantageous effect, a user with a high credit score may be automatically treated as a "win" when a draw is made in a competitive game. In addition, as a disadvantageous effect, a user with a low credit score may be automatically treated as a "loser" when a tie is drawn. In this case, it is not necessary to acquire the credit score of each user who plays the match game before playing the match game. That is, at the timing when the battle game is over and it is determined that the game is a draw, the credit score of each user may be acquired, and the victory or defeat may be determined based on this credit score.

As yet another example of the influence, the positioning of members when the battle game is a team battle may be included. For example, as a disadvantageous effect, a user with a low credit score may be treated as a substitute in the team at the start of the competitive game. As an advantageous effect, users with a high credit score may not be treated as substitutes as described above.

As yet another example of the influence, the setting of whether or not to participate in the play in the competitive game may be included. For example, as a disadvantageous effect, a user with a low credit score may not be allowed to participate in the competitive game. As an advantageous effect, users with a high credit score may not be treated as non-participation as described above.

As yet another example of the influence, a priority may be set when selecting a game rule or a game stage (game course). In this case, as an advantageous effect, a user having a high credit score may be able to select a game rule or a game stage (game course) related to a competitive game in preference to a user having a low credit score. This allows the favorably affected user to select a game rule or game stage that he or she is good at (or is not good at opponents).

The advantages and disadvantages are two sides of the same coin. Therefore, a "favorable effect" on one user can be a "disadvantageous effect" on the other user in the initial state to which such an effect is not applied. On the contrary, the "advantageous effect" on one user can be the "advantageous effect" on the other user in the initial state in which such an effect is not applied. In addition, the above-mentioned examples relating to the effects may be applied individually or a plurality of effects may be applied at the same time.

When such an "influence" is determined (step S104), the content thereof is appropriately reflected in the game device 10. That is, the system management device 30 transmits information regarding the content of the influence to the game device 10 of the battle space 2 in which the user plays. Upon receiving this, the game device 10 that has been on standby (step S40) changes the settings of its own machine according to the content of the influence shown in this information (step S41). As a result, the influence determined based on the user's credit score is reflected in the competitive game.

Next, the system management device 30 functions as the game progress management means 55, and determines whether or not the start condition of the battle game is satisfied (step S105). That is, the system management device 30 determines whether or not the start condition is satisfied based on the battle game managed by the schedule management means 54 and the user information of the battle user received by the play reception means (entry reception means) 42. do. This start condition includes, at least, a condition that the number of user entries (number of play applications) for the target competitive game has reached a predetermined predetermined number. Further, the start condition may include, for example, a condition that the position of the battle space 2, the battle user, the start time, and the like match the schedule planned in advance (that is, the start condition).

Then, when the system management device 30 determines that the start condition is met (satisfied) (step S105: YES), the system management device 30 transmits a notification to the game device 10 that the start of the competitive game is permitted (step S106). .. After receiving this notification, the game device 10 can accept the operation to start the game by the user, and when this operation is accepted, the battle game is started (step S42).

In this way, the battle game is played in the battle space 2. Then, when the battle game is completed (step S43), the content thereof is transmitted from the game device 10 to the system management device 30. The system management device 30 functions as a game progress management means 55, and determines the outcome of this competitive game based on the information regarding the game result received from the game device 10 (step S107).

After that, the system management device 30 functions as the progress display means 56. That is, the system management device 30 that functions as the progress display means 56 timely switches the game progress information including at least one of the battle game schedule and the victory / defeat result of the battle game with other information, play relay, and the like at the venue. Displayed on the monitor 13. Further, when the battle is completed in any of the battle spaces 2 and the victory or defeat is decided, the game progress information is updated based on this, and the updated game progress information is displayed on the venue monitor 13 (step S108).

Further, the system management device 30 also functions as a guiding means 57. That is, the system management device 30 that functions as the guidance means 57 is a battle space for playing to the user terminal 42 possessed by the user who has set the next battle game among the users who have played the battle game for which the victory or defeat has been decided. Guidance information regarding the competitive game including at least one of the information indicating the location of 2, the time when the play application is accepted, or the time when the play starts is transmitted (step S109). Since the user terminal 42 that receives this displays the guidance information on the display of its own machine, the user confirms the guidance information and prepares for the next battle game to be played. The schedule management means 54 sets the next battle game after the victory or defeat of the battle game is decided.

In the game tournament according to the present embodiment, the system management device 30 manages the progress of the battle game as described above. Among the users who have finished the battle game, there are users who have an opportunity to play the next battle game and users who have lost such an opportunity. The former user applies for play in a timely manner in the battle space 2 where the next battle game is performed according to the guidance information displayed on the user terminal 42 or the guidance information appropriately displayed on the venue monitor 13 (step S21). By performing the above, the next battle game is played under the influence determined according to the procedure after step S101.

Therefore, in addition to the user's skill level in the game and the in-game elements selected by the user himself / herself, it is possible to influence the competitive game played by the user.

(Other embodiments)
By the way, the computer program 32a and the game system 100 according to the present invention do not require all the above-mentioned configurations. Some of the above-mentioned configurations can be omitted, and other configurations can be added or replaced. For example, the user registration means 50, the schedule management means 54, the progress display means 56, and the guidance means 57 are not essential configurations.

More specifically, the computer program 32a includes a user information acquisition device 20 for acquiring user information including user identification information and a system management device 30 which is a computer, and is used in a game system for executing a battle game. A computer program 32a executed by the system management device 30, which is the system management device 32a, at least based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition device 20, according to at least the cumulative information over time regarding the corresponding user. The credit score acquisition means 52 for acquiring the credit score, which is a fluctuating parameter, the play reception means 51 for accepting the play application of the battle game in which the user specified by the user information is the opponent user based on the acquisition of the user information, and the credit score. It suffices as long as it functions as an influence determining means 53 for determining the influence given to the battle game and a game progress management means 55 for determining the victory or defeat of the battle game.

Further, in the computer program 32a, the cumulative information regarding the credit score may include at least the past action history of the user outside the battle game. As this cumulative information, as already explained, for example, past action history related to games other than competitive games played at game venue 1, user's school, employment, income, savings amount, academic ability, qualification, traffic violation It may contain information such as history, criminal record, etc.

Further, in the computer program 32a, the influence determining means 53 exerts an influence on the battle game based on the relative difference between the credit score of one opponent user and the credit score of the other opponent user who are competing in the battle game. It may be decided. In this case, the influence given to the competition game can be appropriately reflected in the difference in the credit score between the users who are competing.

Further, in the computer program 32a, when the battle game is a team battle in which teams play against each other, the influence determination means 53 may determine a user who can belong to each team based on the credit score. For example, the users who can belong to each team in the team battle can be limited to those who satisfy a predetermined condition set based on the credit score, such as a person whose credit score is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold.

In the case of a team battle, the average value (or total value) of the credit scores of each user belonging to the team is calculated, and the condition that this value must be equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value when forming a team is stipulated. It may be set. In addition, when calculating the average value (or total value) of credit scores, the scores of some users such as the best score (for example, maximum value) and the worst score (for example, minimum value) are calculated. It may be outside. In these cases, if the credit score of another user is high, even a user with a low credit score can belong to the team.

Further, in the computer program 32a, the battle game is a game that determines the victory or defeat between the competing users in a game tournament in which a plurality of users enter, and the play application accepted by the play reception means 51 is carried out in the game tournament. It may include an entry application for each competitive game.

Further, in the computer program 32a, the game progress management means 55 determines the victory or defeat of a plurality of battle games in the league battle method or the tournament battle method, and the influence determination means 53 determines one or more based on the credit score. Seed rights may be granted to opponent users. That is, the influence determining means 53 may determine and give not only the influence on one battle game but also the influence on the whole of the league match or the tournament match based on the credit score.

Further, as another aspect, the computer program 32a includes a user information acquisition device 20 for acquiring user information including user identification information and a system management device 30 which is a computer, and is provided in a game system 100 for executing a game. A computer program 32a executed by the system management device 30, wherein the system management device 30 varies according to at least the cumulative information over time regarding the corresponding user based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition device 20. It may function as a credit score acquiring means 52 for acquiring the credit score, which is a parameter, and an influence determining means 53 for determining the status of the player character operated by the user in the game based on the credit score.

Further, as another aspect, the computer program 32a includes a user information acquisition device 20 for acquiring user information including user identification information and a system management device 30 which is a computer, and is used in a game system 100 for executing a game. , A computer program 32a executed by the system management device 30, wherein the system management device 30 varies according to at least the cumulative information over time regarding the corresponding user based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition device 20. It functions as a credit score acquisition means 52 for acquiring a credit score, which is a parameter to be performed, and an influence determination means 53 for determining an action on a player character operated by a user of a non-player character appearing in the game based on the credit score. All you need is.

Further, the game system 100 or the computer program 32a according to the present embodiment may include the following modified examples. For example, in the above, the case where the user registration device 40 is a communication terminal owned by each user is illustrated, but the communication terminal provided in the game venue 1 and owned or managed by the tournament management entity may be the user registration device 40. .. Therefore, the user registration application may be made before and / or during the game tournament.

In the above, the case where the identification information created by the system management device 30 is transmitted to the user who has received the registration application has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the user may transmit his / her own identification information (ID, fingerprint information, etc.) to the system management device 30 at the time of application for registration, and the system management device 30 may store this as the user's identification information in the storage unit 32. If it is not necessary to determine the combination of user battles in advance in a game tournament, the user registration application itself may be omitted.

Although the credit score management device 41 is exemplified as being owned or managed by an entity other than the event operating entity, the event operating entity may own or manage it.

In the above, it has been explained that the cumulative information correlated with the credit score includes the action history (other action history) excluding the past action history regarding the battle game played at the game venue 1. However, instead of, or in addition to this, the cumulative information may include the past action history of the competitive game played at the game venue 1. In this case, for example, information such as the battle record and the degree of progress in this battle game (how many stages have been cleared, which boss character has been defeated, which item is owned, etc.) may be included in the cumulative information. good.

Further, examples of the influence on the competitive game based on the user's credit score are not limited to those described above. For example, depending on the credit score of the user, the corresponding content (action or remark) of the character in the game (non-player character) in contact with the player character operated by the user in the game may be different. Further, the items displayed (displayed) at the item store provided in the game space or the items that can be purchased there may be different depending on the credit score. Also, even if the items that can be purchased are the same, the values of the items (including the value of the parameters in the game and the value in the real world) may be different. It should be noted that the status of the character may be changed by equipping the character with the purchased (acquired) item.

In addition, if there is a facility in the game space where the player character's physical strength and other statuses are restored when the player character stays, the status when the player character stays at this facility is determined according to the credit score. The recovery rate may be different, or if the credit score is less than or equal to a predetermined value, accommodation may not be possible. In addition, the value required to stay at this facility (compensation for accommodation) may differ depending on the credit score. Furthermore, the value (compensation) required for any action of the player character, not limited to the accommodation act, may differ depending on the credit score of the user who operates the player character.

Also, in league games and tournament games, users with credit scores below the specified value can proceed to the next match game if they win each match game, but they will not be treated as a winner even if they win the final match. May be set to. Alternatively, in a tournament in which a prize is placed within a certain high ranking (for example, 1st to 8th place), even if the player wins within the winning range, the user whose credit score is below the predetermined value will not be treated as a prize. You may set it.

Further, although the entry start time is fixed, when the entry at an earlier time is permitted, the practice play by the user who entered may be permitted only for a predetermined period after the entry. For example, for a certain battle game, the entry start time is time T3, the start time of this battle game is time T4 after time T3, user A enters at time T1 before time T3, and user B enters the time. It is assumed that the entry is made at time T2 between T1 and time T3.

In this case, (1) user A may be allowed to practice play from the time T1 in which he / she entered to the time T2 in which user B entered. Further, (2) both user A and user B may be allowed to practice play from the time when each of them enters to the time T3 which is the initial entry start time. Further, (3) for both user A and user B, the time T4 (or the time before the predetermined time of the time T4), which is the start time of the battle game, from the time when each of the entries is made. However, the time after the time T3. .) May be allowed for practice play.

In either case, the practice play may be a battle play (that is, solo play) with an NPC (non-player character) controlled by the CPU, or the characters operated by the user A and the user B may appear in the same virtual space. Online play (multi-play) to play against is also possible. Further, regardless of the timing of entry, a user having a credit score lower than a predetermined value or a user having a relatively low credit score may be given a disadvantageous effect of not allowing practice play.

Further, in the above, the configuration in which the battle booth 2a is partitioned from the other battle booths 2a by a panel is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the adjacent battle booth 2a may not be partitioned by a panel, and may have an open configuration similar to the battle stage 2b.

In the above, the system management device 30 has been described for managing a game tournament in which a plurality of users gather at an actual game venue 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the system management device 30 can be used not only in the actual game venue 1 but also in the execution of a competitive game played online with a computer or another user. That is, even in an online battle game, the influence determined based on the user's credit score can be given to the battle game.

The present invention is applicable to computer programs and game systems.
