Description

The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, method, and program.

A TCG is known in which users compete against each other using real cards. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a card game toy in which a plurality of cards with predetermined fighting abilities are used to repeatedly battle opponent cards, and finally the physical strength of the cards is reduced to zero to compete for victory or defeat. It is In TCG, the user collects cards and organizes the cards to be used in battle from among the collected cards. It can be said that it is also common to refer to this organization as "organizing a deck".

TCG users bring together decks of cards organized by each other in the real world and play against each other. In order to liven up such a TCG, businesses that provide TCG cards, stores that sell cards, and the like sometimes hold competitions.

JP-A-2001-204874

Various parameters such as compatibility and card effects are set for the cards organized in the deck. The user considers combinations of multiple cards while considering the parameters set for each of these cards. For example, depending on the types of cards incorporated into the deck, there may be decks that are compatible with a particular deck. It is interesting to organize a deck while considering the advantages and disadvantages of such cards.

Therefore, in order for the user to use the actual card in the analog TCG, it is necessary to store the actual card. Also, since decks are organized in various patterns, it is necessary to store more cards than the number of cards that make up the deck.

However, as the number of cards owned by the user increases in an attempt to increase variations in deck organization, it becomes more difficult to manage storage of which cards are placed where. Also, unlike the case where real cards are read and used in games, analog TCG uses real cards to play against each other, so it is necessary that ownership information as digital items is not linked. I can't even discard the card because it's too much.

Therefore, there is a need for techniques that make it easier for users to manage cards used in analog TCGs.

The present disclosure has been made to solve the above problems, and its object is to provide a device that allows a TCG user to easily manage multiple cards.

According to one embodiment, an information processing device for managing cards used in a TCG, comprising a storage unit and a control unit, wherein the control unit stores information on cards held by a player in the storage unit. a step of acquiring information about the object containing the card; and a step of associating the information of the card with the information about the object containing the card and storing the information in the storage unit.

According to one embodiment, an information processing device is provided for managing cards used in a TCG. The information processing device includes a storage section and a control section. The control unit stores the information of the cards held by the player in the storage unit, the step of generating the information of the deck to be used in the TCG match, and the storage unit by associating the information of the cards with the information of the decks. and in response to receiving from the player an operation for associating the information on the card held by the player with the information on the deck, the information on the card held by the player and the information on the deck are added to the information on the deck a step of registering as sub-card information information of a card associated with another deck different from the deck.

The present disclosure allows TCG users to easily manage multiple cards.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are given the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

First, an outline of a TCG (Trading Card Game) according to this embodiment will be described. Next, as one of techniques for supporting TCG competition between users, a support system that allows a user (player) to easily manage a plurality of cards will be described.

<1 Outline of TCG>
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the TCG according to this embodiment. State (A) of FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a situation in which a user prepares for a TCG competition using TCG supplies 30 . State (B) in FIG. 1 shows a situation in which the user is about to start a TCG match.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a situation in which each user is progressing a TCG match.

<1.1 Configuration of TCG article 30>
With reference to FIG. 1, various items used by each user in a TCG match will be described. As shown in state (A) of FIG. 1, when a first user (user 5A) and a second user (user 5B) start a TCG match, A TCG article 30 is placed. The TCG supplies 30 are for arranging cards that each user uses in a TCG match.

Each user arranges a card on the TCG supplies and advances the TCG battle while adding the card from the deck to the hand. First, the configuration of the TCG supplies 30 will be described. 32A and preparation card placement unit 32B (hereinafter, also collectively referred to as “preparation card placement unit 32”), win/lose condition card placement unit 33A and win/lose condition card placement unit 33B (hereinafter, “win/lose condition card placement unit 33 ), a battle card placement unit 34A and a battle card placement unit 34B (hereinafter also collectively referred to as a “battle card placement unit 34”), a consumption card placement unit 35A and a consumption card placement unit 35B (hereinafter also collectively referred to as "consumption card placement section 35").

Also, as shown in FIG. 2, in a TCG battle, each user advances a battle between cards while replenishing cards from the deck. In the example of FIG. 2, the first user (user 5A) has a hand 93A (two cards in the example of FIG. 2). A second user (user 5B) has a hand 93B (three cards in the example of FIG. 2).

The deck arranging portion 31 is an area for arranging a deck of cards organized by each user as a deck (combination of cards used in a TCG battle). The deck placement portion 31A is an area for the user 5A to place the deck. The deck placement portion 31B is an area for the user 5B to place the deck.

As shown in state (B) of FIG. 1, when each user starts a TCG battle, first, each user's cards are arranged as a deck in the deck placement section 31 . The deck placement section 31 is an area for the user to place the deck. Each user mixes the cards that make up the deck and arranges the cards face down in the deck placement section 31. - 特許庁The user 5A places the deck 91A in the deck placement section 31A. The user 5B places the deck 91B in the deck placement section 31B.

The preparation card arrangement portion 32 is an area for arranging cards that can battle against opponent's cards. Each user exchanges the cards arranged in the preparation card arrangement section 32 and the cards arranged in the battle card arrangement section 34, and exchanges the cards arranged in the battle card arrangement section 34 with each other to increase the attack power, The battle progresses by correcting the damage amount according to physical strength, card attributes, weaknesses, etc. As shown in the state (B) of FIG. 1, no cards are placed in the preparation card placement section 32 and the battle card placement section 34 before the TCG battle is started. On the other hand, as shown in state (A) of FIG. 2, when the TCG battle progresses, each user places cards in the preparation card placement section 32 and the battle card placement section 34 and battles the cards. Each user arranges cards to be used in a battle from his or her hand in the preparation card arrangement section 32 and the battle card arrangement section 34 while replenishing his or her hand from the deck. The user 5A places cards in the preparation card placement section 32A. The user 5B places cards in the preparation card placement section 32B.

The winning/losing condition card arrangement portion 33 is an area indicating to what extent each player satisfies the winning conditions. In the present embodiment, each player places a predetermined number of cards from the deck face down in the win/lose condition card placement section 33 . As shown in the state (B) of FIG. 1, the user 5A places cards in the win/lose condition card placement section 33A. The user 5B places cards in the win/lose condition card placement section 33B.

The battle card placement section 34 is an area for placing cards that battle against opponent's cards. The user 5A places cards in the battle card placement section 34A. The user 5B places cards in the battle card placement section 34B. In this embodiment, basically, the cards placed in the battle card placement section 34A and the cards placed in the battle card placement section 34B have physical strength, attack power, and physical strength set to each card. Battles are based on character attributes, weak point attributes, and other parameters. When the physical strength set in the card is lost due to being attacked or the like, the character indicated on the card is dismissed from the battle as fainted and placed in a consumption card placement section 35, which will be described later.

The consumption card placement section 35 is an area for placing cards consumed in the TCG battle. For example, a card that has lost physical strength due to a battle loss, a card that activates an effect, and the like are placed in the consumption card placement section 35 . As shown in FIG. 2, the user 5A places a card 92A in the consumption card placement section 35A. The user 5B places the card 92B in the consumption card placement section 35B.

<1.2 Types of cards used in TCG>
In the TCG of this embodiment, the types of cards are (i) a character card that can be used in battle, (ii) a power card (energy card) that is used in association with the character card, and (iii) There is an effect card that exerts a specific effect on

(i) Character cards include cards (also referred to as “unconditional cards”) that can be used in battle by being placed in the battle card placement section 34 after the user draws a card from the deck and adds it to his or her hand. , and cards that can be used in battle by satisfying specific conditions (also called “conditional cards”).

(iA) For example, a conditional card can participate in a battle contingent on using an unconditional card associated with the conditional card. For example, likening to the evolution of a character, first, an unconditional card is presented to the opponent user by placing it on the TCG supplies 30, and then a conditional card related to the unconditional card is placed on the TCG supplies 30. By doing so, conditional cards can participate in the battle. Such conditional cards are sometimes called "evolved characters" as evolved from unconditional cards. In addition, the unconditional card can also be called a "seed character" because it can be said that the "evolution character" is a base character for making the "evolution character" participate in the battle.

(iB) For example, a conditional card can participate in a battle by consuming a specific card and moving it to the consumption card placement section 35 . Specifically, as a specific card, an unconditional card placed in the TCG supplies 30 can be consumed (moved to the consumption card placement unit 35), and a conditional card can participate in the battle. good too.

For example, conditional cards may be entered into battle in exchange for one or more character cards placed by the user on TCG supplies 30 . For example, if each character card has parameters indicating the overall performance of the character (e.g., evolution level, etc.) in addition to individual parameters such as attack power of the character indicated on the card, the user A conditional card having an evolution level corresponding to the value of the evolution level of the arranged character card may be allowed to participate in the battle. For example, in a state where a character of evolution level 1 and a character of evolution level 2 are placed in the TCG supplies 30, a conditional card of evolution level 3 is superimposed on the cards of these characters (or in exchange for these character cards). can be placed.

Alternatively, in exchange for a plurality of character cards determined by the conditional card, the conditional card may be allowed to participate in the battle. At this time, the conditional card may participate in the battle by consuming a later-described auxiliary card different from the character card. For example, as an effect shown in the auxiliary card, in exchange for a specific unconditional card in the battle card placement section 34, the consumption card placement section 35, etc. of the TCG supplies 30, a specific conditional card can be made to participate in the battle. It is defined.

(iC) These cards include those that serve as a plurality of the above character cards, energy cards, and auxiliary cards, which will be described later. For example, a special card that can be used as a character card and also as an auxiliary card may be included. The user can use the special card as a character card when it is placed in a position where a character card should be placed (for example, the preparation card placement section 32 and the battle card placement section 34).

(ii) action power card (energy card), after the user draws a card from the deck and adds it to the hand, places it on the TCG supplies 30 in association with the character card, thereby performing a predetermined action shown on the character card. It is possible to do. The operation of associating the energy card with the character card may be performed during the user's turn, for example. For example, the character card may be associated with the character card by placing the energy card near the character card placed on the TCG supplies 30 . Also, there may be a limit to the number of times a power card can be associated with a character card during a turn. For example, once during the user's turn, one of the character cards placed on the TCG supplies 30 can be placed so as to associate the energy card in the hand. For example, assume that a character card has a first attack action and a second attack action. The first attack action can be used when one energy card is associated with the character card, and the second attack action requires two energy cards because one energy card is not enough. may be available when is associated with a character card.

When a character card leaves the battle due to exhaustion of physical strength, etc., the energy card associated with the character card may also be disabled during the battle.

(iii) Auxiliary cards that assist the battle include card types that the user can use any number of cards during the turn as long as they are in the user's hand, and card types that the user can use only one card during the turn. These auxiliary cards include those that are activated by declaring that the user will use the effect of the auxiliary card.

In addition, as an auxiliary card, it is arranged in advance at a predetermined position of the TCG article 30 (in the present embodiment, the predetermined position is not shown), such as facing down, and the user removes the auxiliary card. It also includes those that demonstrate the effect of the auxiliary card by declaring its use by vocalization or the like.

<1.3 Overview of TCG competition rules>
As described above, the TCG supplies 30 used in the TCG competition and the types of cards have been described. Next, the battle rules of TCG will be described in detail.

In the TCG shown in the present embodiment, as described above, each user attacks or defends (battles) based on the cards placed in the battle card placement section 34A and the battle card placement section 34B to progress the TCG match. do. In the TCG match, the users alternately perform actions on a turn-by-turn basis. For example, when the first user finishes the action of the turn, it becomes the second user's turn. When the second user performs an action in the turn and completes the action, it becomes the first user's turn.

Each user draws a predetermined number of cards from the deck and adds them to their hand each time their turn arrives.

Each user arranges candidates for cards (character cards) to be used for attacking or defending the cards of the opponent's user in the preparation card arrangement section 32 among the cards in the hand.

The user 5A can replace the cards laid out in the preparation card placement section 32A and the cards laid out in the battle card placement section 34A during the turn of the user 5A. In addition, the user 5B can switch the cards arranged in the preparation card placement section 32A and the cards arranged in the battle card placement section 34A during the turn of the user 5B.

The win/lose condition card placement section 33A and the win/lose condition card placement section 33B are areas for notifying each user of how much progress each user has made with respect to the condition for winning the battle, as described above. be. Here, as a condition for the user to win the battle, for example, all the cards placed in the win/lose condition card placement section 33A or the win/lose condition card placement section 33B may be collected. That is, victory or defeat may be determined by collecting all the cards in either the victory condition card arrangement section 33A or the victory condition card arrangement section 33B.

For example, each user arranges a predetermined number of cards from the deck in the win/lose condition card placement section 33A or the win/lose condition card placement section 33B prior to a TCG match. That is, the user 5A extracts a predetermined number of cards from the deck and places them in the winning/losing condition card placing section 33A. The user 5B extracts a predetermined number of cards from the deck and places them in the winning/losing condition card placing section 33B. When the character card placed in the battle card placement section 34A by the user 5A and the character card placed in the battle card placement section 34B by the user 5B are played against each other, and the exit condition set for the character card is satisfied (for example, the character card is subtracted based on the attack power set in the opponent's character card, and the physical strength value set in the opponent's character card is exhausted), it is assumed that the character of the character card has fainted, and the consumption card placement section 35 (also known as "trash" ).

As a result, the user who has won the battle and dismissed the opponent's character card adds the card placed in the win/lose condition card placement section 33A or the win/lose condition card placement section 33B to the hand. For example, when the user 5B leaves the card placed in the battle card placement section 34A by attacking the character card of the user 5A on his/her turn, a predetermined number of cards placed in the victory/loss condition card placement section 33B Take a number of cards and add them to your hand. On the other hand, when the user 5A leaves the cards arranged in the battle card placement section 34B by attacking the character card of the user 5B on his/her turn, a predetermined Take a number of cards and add them to your hand. These operations are repeated until the user 5B collects all the cards placed in the win/lose condition card placement section 33B, or when the user 5A collects all the cards placed in the win/lose condition card placement section 33A. The user who has won the TCG match may be determined as the user who has won the TCG match. In addition, as a victory condition of the match, it may be assumed that the character card is defeated when there is no character card in either the battle card placement section 34 or the preparation card placement section 32 . Also, as a victory condition for the battle, each user may be defeated if he/she cannot draw a deck from the deck placement section 31 on his or her turn.

<1.4 Objects that hold cards>
Since the user may damage the cards used in the TCG as they are, in order to protect the cards, the cards are stored one by one in a dedicated storage bag. The storage bag is called a card sleeve, a card case, a card protector, or the like, and one side (back side) of the storage bag is plain or designed with a picture or pattern of a character. The user can easily grasp the cards that make up each deck by storing cards for each deck using storage bags with the same design, pattern, color, or the like, for example. In addition, by using storage bags with the same pattern, pattern, color, etc., it is not possible to grasp the type of each card from the back side, so you can play TCG while it is in the storage bag. .

Also, when a user collects a large number of cards, he or she puts them in a storage box and keeps them. The storage box is preferably a box dedicated to TCG cards in which the storage space is formed according to the size of the card.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an object containing cards according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3A is a view showing an example of a storage bag that stores cards, and FIG. 3B is a view that shows an example of a storage box that stores cards.

In FIG. 3A, the card 95 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and is formed with a predetermined thickness using a material such as paper or plastic, for example. In addition, on the surface of the card 95, information indicating the card is displayed. Also, the card 95 may be provided with an identifier that uniquely identifies the card.

The housing bag 96 is formed in a bag-like shape having substantially the same shape (substantially rectangular in FIG. 3A) as the shape of the card 95 in a plan view, and one (singular) card 95 is placed inside. can accommodate. In addition, a transparent or translucent material is used for the covering member covering the surface of the storage bag 96 on which the card information is displayed so that at least the card information displayed on the card 95 can be visually recognized from the outside.

A marker 97 is attached to the containing bag 96 . The marker 97 is information about the object containing the card, such as an identifier that can uniquely identify the containing bag. The marker 97 is, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a bar code or QR code (registered trademark), but may be an IC chip or the like. The position where the marker 97 is attached is not particularly limited, but it may be attached to one side of the storage bag 96 that is not the covering member, or may be attached to the covering member. When it is attached to the covering member, it is preferable to attach it to a position where the display showing the information on the card 95 and the marker 97 can be simultaneously photographed by the camera. As a result, it is possible to reduce the effort of the user to take pictures (operate the reading mechanism) for card management. Note that the marker 97 may be printed with ink that is invisible under natural light so that the marker 97 does not interfere with the recognition of the card 95 .

Further, the marker 97 of the storage bag 96 may include information (identifier) for identifying the deck as deck information. As described above, if storage bags with the same design or the like are used for each deck, it becomes easier to grasp the cards that make up the deck. Since it is not necessary to specify and manage a unique storage bag for management, storage bags of the same design are given the same deck identifier in advance to facilitate card management. can be done. Details will be described later.

In FIG. 3(B), the storage box 98 forms a card storage space inside, and is integrally provided with a lid portion capable of covering the top of the card storage space. The card storage space is of a size that can accommodate a plurality of cards 95, and the direction in which the cards 95 are accommodated is not particularly limited.

A marker 99 is attached to the storage box 98 . The marker 99 is information about an object containing cards, and is an identifier that can uniquely identify a container, for example. The marker 99 is, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a bar code or QR code (registered trademark), but may be an IC chip or the like. The position where the marker 99 is attached is not particularly limited, but it is preferably a position where the user can easily photograph the marker 99 with a camera.

Information on the card 95 held by the user is stored in the terminal device 10 (see FIG. 4) in association with information on the storage bag 96 and the storage box 98, which are objects for storing the card, so that the user can manage the card. It can be carried out.

A GPS module is a receiving device used in a satellite positioning system. The satellite positioning system receives signals from at least three or four satellites, and detects the current position of the terminal device 10 equipped with a GPS module based on the received signals. The position detected by the GPS module is used, for example, when the position information of the terminal device 10 when the terminal device 10 performs predetermined notification processing based on the detection result of the sensor device 50 is stored in the memory. can be utilized.

The camera 160 is a device for receiving light with a light receiving element and outputting it as a photographed image. The camera 160 is, for example, a depth camera that can detect the distance from the camera 160 to the subject. The camera 160 also functions as a reading mechanism, and can photograph a marker attached to an object containing a card and read information on the marker.

The storage unit 180 is configured by, for example, a flash memory or the like, and stores data and programs used by the terminal device 10 . The storage unit 180 stores card information 181 and deck information 182 .

The card information 181 is information on the card held by the user. The card information includes, for example, a correspondence between the identifier of the card, the identifier of the object containing the card, and the identifier of the deck in which the card is combined. The card information 181 may also include information such as characters, characters, symbols drawn on the card, effects in the game, strength, attributes, and the like.

The deck information 182 is deck information indicating a combination of cards to be used in a TCG battle. The deck information includes, for example, a correspondence between the identifier of the deck and the identifiers of the cards that make up the deck. Further, the deck information includes a correspondence between the deck identifier and desired card information (described later) and/or sub-card information (described later).

The control unit 190 controls the operation of the terminal device 10 by reading programs stored in the storage unit 180 and executing instructions included in the programs. The control unit 190 is, for example, an application processor. The control unit 190 functions as an input operation reception unit 191, a transmission/reception unit 192, a data processing unit 193, and a notification control unit 194 by operating according to a program.

The input operation reception unit 191 performs processing for receiving a user's input operation to the input device such as the touch sensitive device 131 . The input operation reception unit 191 determines whether the user's operation is a flick operation, a tap operation, or a drag (swipe) operation based on information on coordinates at which the user touches the touch-sensitive device 131 with a finger or the like. Determines the type of operation such as presence.

The transmission/reception unit 192 performs processing for the terminal device 10 to transmit/receive data to/from an external device such as the server 20 according to a communication protocol.

The data processing unit 193 performs processing according to a program to perform computation on data input by the terminal device 10, and outputs the computation result to a memory or the like.

The data processing unit 193 acquires information on the card held by the user and stores it in the card information 181 of the storage unit 180 . The card information is information that can identify the card, and may be obtained from the card identifier (identification number, card name, etc.) input by the user. The information on the card may also be obtained by the data processing unit 193 analyzing a photographed image of the card photographed by the user with the camera 160 . For example, the identifier displayed on the card, characters, characters, graphics, combinations thereof, etc. are analyzed, the analysis result is transmitted to the server 20 that holds the information of the card used in the TCG, and based on the answer from the server 20 may be used to identify the card of the photographed image.

The data processing unit 193 also acquires information about the object containing the card. For example, when the user uses the camera 160 to read a marker attached to a storage bag or storage box, the data processing unit 193 converts information that can identify the storage bag or storage box as information about an object that stores cards. get.

Data processing unit 193 receives, via operation accepting unit 130, an operation for associating the information on the card stored in card information 181 with the information on the object containing the card from the user. and information on the object containing the card are associated with each other and stored in the card information 181 . For example, a card held by a user and a storage bag or storage box that stores the card are stored in association with each other. The user can easily manage the cards by associating and storing the cards held by the user with the objects containing the cards.

The data processing unit 193 also performs processing for generating a display image to be displayed on the display 132 . For example, when the data processing unit 193 receives an operation of specifying information about an object to be accommodated from the user, the data processing unit 193 displays a display image that presents to the user information on a card associated with the specified information about the object to be accommodated. to generate Thereby, the user can know the information of the cards contained in the specified storage bag or storage box.

Further, when the camera 160 reads the information about the storage bag, the data processing unit 193 associates the information about the storage bag with the information about the deck and stores them in the card information 181 . For example, the camera 160 reads the identifier of the storage bag and the identifier of the deck that are assigned in advance as the information about the storage bag, and the data processing unit 193 stores the identifier of the storage bag and the identifier of the deck in the card information 181 in association with each other. Let Then, the identifier of the deck and the information of the card associated with the storage bag associated with the identifier are generated as deck information and stored in the deck information 182 . The user can easily manage deck information by reading the storage bag with the camera 160 of the terminal device 10 .

At this time, the data processing unit 193 determines whether or not the information about the storage bag read by the camera 160 is stored in the card information 181 in association with the card information. That is, it is determined whether or not the identifier of the deck assigned in advance to the read storage bag is already stored. If it is determined that it is stored in the card information 181, the card associated with the read storage bag is added as a card constituting the deck to update the deck information. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not stored in the card information 181, deck information may be generated as described above.

In addition, the data processing unit 193, in response to receiving an operation from the user for associating the information of the cards not held by the user with the information of the deck, stores the cards held in the information of the deck regardless of the prescribed number of cards in the deck. Register the information of the card not to be used as desired card information. The user may want to combine cards that he or she does not own when considering the configuration of the deck. Therefore, by registering cards to be combined as desired card information in association with deck information, it is possible to function as a memo, which is useful when obtaining cards by purchasing or exchanging cards.

Further, in response to receiving an operation from the user to associate the information of the card held by the user with the information of the deck, the data processing unit 193 adds the information of the held card to the information of the deck as sub-card information. register. The number of cards that constitute a deck is prescribed in advance, and when a user considers the construction of a deck, it is necessary to combine the cards held according to the prescribed number. Therefore, if there are multiple candidate cards to be included in the deck among the cards held, by registering the candidate cards as sub-card information in association with the deck information, it can function as a memo, which is useful for deck management. is.

The notification control unit 194 performs processing for displaying a display image on the display 132 , processing for outputting sound to the speaker 142 , and processing for causing the camera 160 to vibrate.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of the server 20. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6 , the server 20 functions as a communication section 201 , a storage section 202 and a control section 203 .

The communication unit 201 performs processing for the server 20 to communicate with an external device.

The storage unit 202 stores data and programs used by the server 20 . The storage unit 202 stores a user information database 281 , a card information database 282 and a stored object database 283 .

The user information database 281 is a database for holding user information of each user who owns the terminal device 10 . Card information and deck information are stored for each user.

The card information database 282 is a database for holding information on cards used in TCG. The card information is associated with, for example, the identifier of the card, characters, pictures, graphics, symbols, characters, card strength, and effects displayed on the card. When analyzing the captured image of the card, the terminal device 10 may query the card information database 282 for the captured image and acquire the card information. In addition, the terminal device 10 may query the card information database 282 to confirm whether or not the card information input by the user is a card used in the TCG. In addition, the card information database 282 may hold information that serves as a criterion for determining whether or not each card can be used in a competition such as a tournament. For example, standards for cards that can be used are stipulated for each tournament. A plurality of types of standards may be prepared. The terminal device 10 inquires of the server 20 whether or not the card information input by the user can be used in the competition. It is also possible to respond whether or not it can be used.

The contained object database 283 is a database for holding information on objects containing cards, for example, objects to which markers are attached. The information about the object to be stored is associated with the identifier of the object to be stored, images such as characters and patterns displayed in the storage bag or storage box, the number of cards that can be stored in the storage box, and the like.

The control unit 203 exhibits functions shown as various modules when the processor of the server 20 performs processing according to a program.

The transmission control module 2043 controls the processing by which the server 20 transmits signals to external devices according to the communication protocol.

<2.4 Data structure>
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the data structure of card information 181 and deck information 182 stored in terminal device 10. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, the card information 181 includes an item "card ID", an item "number (No.)", an item "contained object ID", and an item "deck ID".

The item "card ID" is information for identifying the card held by the user. The item "number (No.)" is information for distinguishing between cards of the same type when the user holds a plurality of identical cards. In some analog TCGs, it is allowed to organize multiple decks of the same card. In addition, the user may hold a plurality of identical cards and organize them into different decks. The item "contained object ID" is information for identifying an object containing a card. The item "deck ID" is information for identifying the deck.

For example, a user who owns the terminal device 10 may have card IDs "#0001", "#0122", "#0323", "#0014", "#1235", "#3216", "#0016", "# 7D1f”, “#0021”, . . . Each card ID contains an object ID "#a01", "#a02", "#b01", "#A", "#a03", "#a12", "#b03", "#A", " #b02" . . . are associated with each other. In the example of FIG. 7, an ID composed of lower-case alphabets and numbers indicates a storage bag, and an ID composed of upper-case alphabets indicates a storage box.

Among the storage bag IDs, those with the same lower-case alphabet indicate the same deck. For example, the stored object IDs "#a01" and "#a02" contain the common lower-case alphabet "a" and are associated with the deck ID "#a". That is, the card IDs "#0001", "#0122", "#1235" and "#3216" associated with the stored object IDs "#a01", "#a02", "#a03" and "#a12" are , and deck ID “#a”, indicating that the cards are combined in the same deck (deck a).

As for the card with the card ID "#0001", the item "number (No.)" indicates that the user has two cards with numbers "001" and "002". As for the card with the card ID "#0001", the card with the number "001" is contained in the object with the contained object ID "#a01" and organized into the deck ID "#a". Also, the card numbered "002" is contained in the object with the contained object ID "#c01" and organized into the deck ID "#c". For example, the terminal device 10 registers a record in the card information 181 by reading the information identifying the storage bag containing the card and the information identifying the card. At this time, the terminal device 10 reads the identification information of the cards that have already been registered in the card information 181, and determines that the user holds a plurality of the same cards. Determine the value of the item "No." so that the cards can be distinguished.

Card IDs "#0323", "#0016" and "#0021" associated with stored object IDs "#b01", "#b03" and "#b02" correspond to deck ID "#b". This indicates that the cards are combined in the same deck (deck b).

On the other hand, the card IDs "#0014" and "#7D1f" associated with the contained object ID "#A" (container box A) have the item "deck ID" of "-" (NULL) and form a deck. indicates that it is not a card that

The deck information 182 includes an item "deck ID", an item "deck card", an item "desired card ID", and an item "sub card ID".

The item "deck ID" is information for identifying the deck as described above.

The item "deck card" is information for identifying the cards that make up the deck. That is, the item "deck card" is a card registered in the deck. The card information shown in the item “deck card” is associated with the item “card ID” in the card information 181 . Therefore, the terminal device 10 can specify the location of each card organized in the deck (in which stored object it is stored) based on the card information 181 and the deck information 182 .

The item "desired card ID" is information for identifying a card (desired card) that the user wants to include in the deck. The desired card may be a card that the user does not own, or a card that is included in the deck but does not reach the maximum number of the same cards that can be organized in the deck and has room to be added to the deck. may be That is, the card indicated by the desired card information may be a card not included in the card information 181 . The terminal device 10 accepts from the user an operation of designating a desired card in association with the information for identifying the deck, so that the information for identifying the deck (item "deck ID") is entered in the deck information 182. , and updates the item "desired card ID". In other words, the terminal device 10 holds information for identifying the desired card specified by the user in the item "desired card ID". The terminal device 10 displays, on the screen, the cards constituting the deck (information of the item "deck card") and the desired card in association with the information for identifying the deck. By referring to the information of the desired cards registered in the deck, the user can easily grasp the cards that need to be newly possessed for constructing the deck.

The item "subcard ID" is information for identifying a card (subcard) that the user wants to include in the deck, which is a card held by the user. That is, the card indicated by the sub-card information is the card included in the card information 181 . Also, the sub-card information is a card already incorporated in another deck, and the physical location of the card indicated by the sub-card is not the deck associated with the sub-card information. The terminal device 10 displays on the screen the cards that make up the deck (information of the item "deck card") and the sub-cards in association with the information identifying the deck. As described above, since the desired card and sub-cards are managed separately in the terminal device 10, the user can refer to the information of the sub-cards registered in the deck to newly obtain the cards necessary for constructing the deck. You don't have to put it in the deck, and you can easily figure out which deck to search to find the desired card.

In the example of FIG. 7, deck ID "#a" is associated with card IDs "#0011", "#0122", "#1235", "#3216" . It shows that it is composed of a combination of cards identified by "#0011", "#0122", "#1235", "#3216", and so on. The deck ID "#a" is associated with the desired card IDs "#1100" and "#0102" and the sub card ID "#0014". Therefore, it can be easily understood that "#1100" and "#0102" are cards that the user does not possess.

Similarly, the deck ID "#b" is associated with the item "deck card", the item "desired card ID", and the item "sub card ID". is "-" (NULL), indicating that the desired card information is not registered. On the other hand, the sub-card ID "#0122" is associated, and this sub-card is associated with the deck ID "#a" as a deck card. By referring to this information, when the user wants to play the game with the deck ID "#b", the deck ID "#0014", which is not associated with any deck, is incorporated into the deck, and the deck ID "#a" is added to the deck. By searching, it is possible to easily grasp that "#0122" should be incorporated.

<3 Operation>
A process for managing a plurality of cards used by the user in the TCG will be described below.

FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing for a user to manage cards. Needless to say, the order of each process is not limited to the example shown in FIG.

In step S<b>601 , the terminal device 10 reads card information with the camera 160 and stores the read card information in the card information 181 of the storage unit 180 . The terminal device 10 may use audio reading means in addition to optical reading means (such as taking an image of the card with the camera 160) in order to read the information on the card. For example, the terminal device 10 receives voice input from the user through the microphone 141 . The voice input includes receiving the voice read out by the user through the microphone 141 to identify the card. The terminal device 10, for example, acquires the voice uttered by the user by reading out the information written on the card such as the character name associated with the card, parameters of the character, skills, etc., through the microphone 141. The terminal device 10 performs voice recognition processing on the acquired voice based on the information of terms (character name, skill name, various parameter amounts (physical strength value, etc.)) that can be written on the card. Card information can be stored in card information 181 . For example, the terminal device 10 stores a card ID (identifier) based on the read card information as the card held by the user. Also, the card information is transmitted to the server 20 .

In step S651, the server 20 stores the received card information as a card held by the user in the user information database 281 in association with the user ID for identifying the user and the card ID. Here, the server 20 compares the information of the cards preliminarily registered as the cards to be used in the TCG match in the card information database 282, and the card read by the terminal device 10 is the preregistered card. You may make it check whether it is. If the card is not registered, the terminal device 10 may be notified of, for example, "error (misrecognition)". Further, when the card is registered, information such as the character displayed on the card and the strength of the card may be transmitted to the terminal device 10 as the card information. Steps S601 and S651 may be configured to be repeated until all the cards held by the user are stored in the storage unit.

In step S603, the terminal device 10 reads the marker attached to the object containing the card and acquires the identifier of the object containing the card. Then, the identifier of the object to be accommodated is transmitted to the server 20 .

In step S<b>653 , the server 20 collates the identifier of the contained object with the information stored in the contained object database 283 and transmits the information on the contained object to the terminal device 10 . For example, a character or pattern displayed on the contained object associated with the contained object identifier, image data representing the contained object, and the like are transmitted. In the example of FIG. 8 , the server 20 determines that the object to be stored is a storage bag as a result of collation, and transmits information on the storage bag to the terminal device 10 . Based on the received information, the terminal device 10 presents the storage bag to the user by displaying it on a display or the like.

In step S605, the terminal device 10 receives an operation from the user to associate the card ID stored in the card information 181 with the presented accommodation bag. Here, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the card information 181 stores information about the storage bag. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the identifier of the deck pre-assigned to the storage bag is stored in the card information 181 .

In step S607, if the terminal device 10 determines that the identifier of the deck is not stored, the terminal device 10 stores the card information 181 by associating the card ID with the storage bag ID and the deck ID based on the read storage bag information. memorize to Further, deck information in which the deck ID and the card ID are associated with each other is generated and stored in the deck information 182 .

On the other hand, when it is determined that the identifier of the deck is stored, the card ID associated with the ID of the storage bag is added as a card constituting the deck, and the deck information 182 is updated.

In step S655, the server 20 stores the deck information generated or updated in step S607 in the user information database 281. FIG.

In step S<b>609 , the terminal device 10 stores the card ID and the storage bag ID in the card information 181 in correspondence with each other in response to the operation in step S<b>605 , and transmits the correspondence to the server 20 .

In step S657, the server 20 stores the card ID and the storage bag ID in the user information database 281 in association with each other.

As described above, the user can manage the cards by correlating and storing the cards held by the user with the stored objects and decks.

FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing in which a user registers desired card information or sub-card information and updates deck information.

In step S701, the terminal device 10 receives an operation for associating a card ID and a deck ID from the user. The terminal device 10 may acquire the card ID from an identifier input by the user, a captured image, or the like.

In step S703, the terminal device 10 refers to the card information 181 and determines whether the card ID in step S701 is the card held by the user.

In step S705, if the terminal device 10 determines in step S703 that the card is not held by the user, it associates the card ID with the deck ID as desired card information, and updates the deck information. On the other hand, when it is determined that the card is held by the user, the card ID is associated with the deck ID as sub-card information, and the deck information is updated. The terminal device 10 transmits the updated deck information to the server 20 .

In step S751, the server 20 updates deck information based on the received information.

As described above, the user can manage the deck by associating the deck with the desired card information and the sub-card information and storing them.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the operation performed by the user on the card displayed on the display and the stored object.

FIG. 10A is an example of an operation for associating a card with a storage bag, and FIG. 10B is an example of a screen for presenting a user with a card associated with an object to be stored.

In FIG. 10A, the display 130 of the terminal device 10 shows a card 301 read by the camera 160 and a plurality of storage bags 302 and a plurality of storage boxes 303 stored in the storage unit.

For example, the user can associate the card 301 with the storage bag 302 by dragging the card 301 with a finger or the like in the direction of the arrow. In FIG. 10A, "card #0001" and "accommodation bag #a01" are associated. Also, when the card 301 is moved to the position where the storage bag 302 is displayed and the finger is held down for a predetermined time, the card 301 moves to the front storage bag (in this example, "storage bag #a01"). Instead, a plurality of storage bags arranged in the back row are displayed in order, and the user removes the finger holding the card 301 from the display at the timing when the storage bag desired to be associated is displayed, thereby storing the card 301. It may be configured to correspond to the bag 302

In FIG. 10B, the display 130 of the terminal device 10 shows a card 312 housed in the housing bag 302 and a group of cards 313 housed in the housing box 303 .

For example, by tapping the storage bag 302 or the storage box 303 with a finger or the like, the user displays which card the storage bag 302 or the storage box 303 is associated with (that is, which card is stored). be able to. Also, if the finger is held at the position of the storage bag 302 for a predetermined period of time, instead of the front storage bag (in this example, "storage bag #b03"), a plurality of fingers are arranged in the back row. are displayed in order, and the user removes his/her finger holding the storage bag 302 from the display at the timing when the storage bag desired to present the stored card is displayed. It may be configured to present a card associated with the accommodation bag 302 displayed in front.

<Modification>
(1) In the description of the above embodiment, in FIG. An example of reading information has been described. That is, by reading the markers attached to the storage bags and storage boxes, it is possible to specify each object containing the cards.

In addition, the terminal device 10 may specify the appearance (design, pattern) of the object containing the card and only identify the type of the object, but may not identify objects of the same type. good. For example, in the housing bag 96, a transparent or translucent material is used for the covering member that covers the surface (front surface) on which the card information is displayed, while the surface on which the card information is not displayed (front surface and It is assumed that a pattern, a background, a character, and the like are drawn on the covering member covering the back surface on the opposite side). For example, a user purchases a product in which a plurality of storage bags with the same design are enclosed at a store or the like.

The terminal device 10 can recognize the design of each storage bag 96 by photographing the covering member of the storage bag 96 with the camera 160 or the like.

Here, it is assumed that the user stores the cards constituting the deck in the storage bag 96 with the same design. Thereby, the terminal device 10 can manage the recognition result of the design of the storage bag 96 as information specifying the deck. In other words, the terminal device 10 associates the accommodation bag 96 of the first design with the cards accommodated in the plurality of accommodation bags 96 of the first design and manages them as one deck. The terminal device 10 may manage the item "card ID" in the card information 181 of FIG.

In addition, in order to facilitate the user to confirm the design of the storage bag 96 and the deck corresponding to the design, the information of the design of the storage bag 96 and the deck corresponding to the design is displayed in the terminal device 10 or the like. You may enable it to confirm.

For example, the terminal device 10 may display the design of the storage bag 96 and the deck corresponding to the design on the display 132 . For example, it is assumed that the user has registered in the terminal device 10 multiple decks and the design of the storage bag 96 corresponding to each deck. The terminal device 10 displays on the display 132 by arranging, for example, images showing the design of the accommodation bag 96 registered as a deck. The terminal device 10 accepts an input operation for designating the design of the storage bag 96 from the user, and in response to the input operation, information on the cards constituting the deck corresponding to the design (card pattern, card Various parameters to be set, etc.) are displayed on the display 132 . In one screen, the terminal device 10 has an area for receiving an input operation for specifying the design of the storage bag 96 and an area for displaying information on the cards constituting the deck corresponding to the specified design. may be displayed together.

This allows the user to more easily recognize which deck the design of the storage bag 96 corresponds to. For example, in a competition, the user can operate the terminal device 10 to check the contents of the deck while easily grasping the design of the storage bag 96 used in the TCG competition.

Also, the server 20 may manage the design of each user's storage bag 96 and information on the deck corresponding to each design. As a result, the terminal device 10 may accept from the user an operation to refer to the information of the other user's deck, based on the design of the storage bag 96 of the other user who has competed in a competition.

For example, assume that each user registers deck information in the server 20 or the like in advance in a competition or the like. The terminal device 10 requests the server 20 for information on the design of the storage bag 96 of another user different from the user of the terminal device 10 and the deck corresponding to the design. In response to the request, the server 20 transmits to the terminal device 10 the design of each user's storage bag 96 and information on the deck corresponding to the design. Thereby, the user can refer to the information of the opponent's user's deck by using the design of the storage bag 96 used by the other user at the time of the battle as a clue.

(2) In the description of the above embodiments, the card is stored in the storage bag or the storage box. However, the card stored in the storage bag may be stored in the storage box. As a result, there is no need to put the card in and take it out of the storage bag in order to store it in the storage box, and the card can be easily managed without making the user feel complicated.
