  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of a network game start system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The network game start system 1 includes a game server 2 that registers and manages a game and controls a game from the start to the end of the game, and a plurality of mobile phone terminals 3, 4 a that are connected to the game server 2 through an Internet line. 4b, and so on. In the network game start system 1, the plurality of mobile phone terminals include one organizer mobile phone terminal 3 for holding a game, and participant mobile phone terminals 4 a of a plurality of participants participating in the held game. 4b, and so on.

  A plurality of game programs (so-called apps and game software) are registered and stored in the game server 2. The game server 2 applies for holding a registered game from the organizer (member), issues an ID number for the held game for which it has been applied, accepts participants in the held game, registers the number of participants, and holds it The deadline for accepting the start of the hosted game and the acceptance of the participants of the hosted game by the user, support from the start of the hosted game to the end, downloading of the application to the mobile phone terminal, etc. are performed.

  Hereinafter, in the network game start system 1 of the present invention, the organizer mobile phone terminal 3 of the game organizer, the participant mobile phone terminals 4a (4b,...) Of the participants who participate in the held game, and the game server 2 are described in detail. The operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 2 to 4 are flowcharts of processing related to a game providing service performed by the game server 2 (hereinafter referred to as a game server) according to the embodiment of the present invention. 5 to 6 are flowcharts of processing relating to a game providing service performed by the organizer's organizer mobile phone terminal 3 (hereinafter referred to as the organizer terminal). Further, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of processing relating to a game providing service performed by the participant's participant mobile phone terminal 4a (hereinafter referred to as a participant terminal).

  As a premise, the organizer of the game registers in advance with the business company that provides the game providing service. Member registration is required for only one organizer among the members (organizers and participants) who perform the game, and not all members need to register as members.

  When a game is held, the organizer terminal requests connection to the game site of the game server through the Internet line (step A01). When the game server starts processing, it determines whether or not there is a connection request (step S01). If there is no connection request, the game server determines whether or not the game is being held (step S20). If not being held, the process returns to step S01. Note that “game in progress” means that when a game host is requested by the organizer terminal, it is in a state of accepting participation in the held game from the participant terminal that intends to participate in the held game. The game server repeatedly executes step S01 and step S20 until there is a connection request, and waits for a connection request from the organizer terminal.

  When there is a connection request from the organizer terminal, the game server determines that step S01 is true, and transmits a “game site menu” screen as shown in FIG. 8 to the mobile terminal of the partner who has requested connection (step S02). The process proceeds to step S03. When there is a connection request, there are a connection request from the organizer terminal and a connection request from the participant terminal, which are identified by the processing in step S03 and subsequent steps.

  On the other hand, when the organizer terminal connects to the game site, the organizer terminal determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step A02), and when the game site menu screen is transmitted from the game server, the organizer terminal transmits it from the game server. The received game site menu screen is received (step A03), and the game site menu screen is displayed on the display screen (step A04).

  As shown in FIG. 8, a list of games that can be held and “direct ID input” for participating in the game by directly entering an ID are displayed on the game site menu screen. A favorite game is selected and inputted from the “list of games that can be held” (step A04). Note that FIG. 8 shows an example in which four types of games that can be held, for example, “Net DE Bingo”, “Net DE Amida”, “Net Submarine”, and “Net Hide and Seek” can be selected. In the following description, it is assumed that “net DE bingo” is selected. When a favorite game is selected (step A05), the organizer terminal transmits the selected and input game information and member information to the game server (step A06). The member information is stored in the mobile phone terminal when the owner of the mobile phone terminal registers as a member of the game providing service company.

  When the game server transmits the game site menu screen, the game server determines whether or not there is data transmission in step S03. When input data is transmitted from the opponent mobile terminal to the game site menu screen, the game server receives the data. (Step S04), it is determined whether or not the content of the received data is a game selection (Step S05). If the content of the received data is a game selection, the partner mobile terminal holds the game. It is determined that the host terminal is the application terminal, and the process proceeds to step S06 to determine whether or not the received member information is registered by searching the registered member file (step S06). In step S06, if there is no member information that matches the received member information in the registered member file, it is determined that the member is not a member. In this case, a non-member as a determination result for the registered member is shown in FIG. A “notice” screen is transmitted to the organizer terminal, and the process returns to step S01.

  When the organizer terminal transmits the selected game information and member information to the game server, the organizer terminal determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step A07). The received data (authentication result of whether it is a registered member or a non-member) is received (step A08), and it is determined whether or not the member is authenticated based on the content of the received data (step A09). If the member authentication result is non-member, step A09 is determined to be false, a notification screen is displayed (step A10), and the process returns to step A01. In addition, the notice screen displays that the game holding service cannot be used unless the member is registered, and that the ID received from the member is entered from the ID input screen in the case of a non-member. .

  On the other hand, if the member information matching the received member information is present in the registered member file in step S06, it is determined that the member is a member. In this case, the member as an authentication result for the registered member is shown in FIG. The “game top” screen is transmitted to the organizer terminal (step S08). The organizer terminal receives the game top screen sent from the game server (step A07), determines that the member authentication is true (step A09), and displays the game top screen on the display screen (step A11).

  The game top screen displays “game explanation / operation method” and “game holding” as selection items. By selecting “game description / operation method” on the game top screen, detailed explanation of the game And the explanation screen of the operation method is displayed. Further, when “game holding” is selected and input on the game top screen (step A12), the organizer terminal transmits a new ID creation request to the game server (step A13).

  When the game server transmits the game top screen to the organizer terminal, the game server determines whether or not there is data transmission from the organizer terminal in step S09, and if there is data transmission, receives a new ID creation request. (Step S10), a new ID number is created (Step S11), and the newly created ID number is transmitted to the organizer terminal (Step S12).

  On the other hand, when the organizer terminal transmits a new ID creation request to the game server, the organizer terminal determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step A14). The ID number is received (step A15), and an “ID notification” screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed (step A16). The ID notification screen displays an ID number for holding the game (for example, 00116522) and a message that informs the participant who plays the game together with the ID number. By notifying the participant, the participant who is informed of the ID number can participate in the same game.

  When the game server transmits the created ID number to the organizer terminal in step S12, the created ID number, game information, and the number of participants participating in the game are displayed in the holding area set in the memory (not shown). Is stored (however, the initial value is “0”) (step S13). In addition, since the ID number, the game information, and the participant number counter are stored in the holding area, the holding game is handled.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of each piece of information stored in the holding area. FIG. 17 shows an example in which an ID number “00116522”, “Net DE Bingo” as game information, and “4” as the number of participants are stored. The ID number assigned to the organizer is valid only for a certain time (for example, 1 hour), and the assigned ID number is invalidated if the host game is not started within a certain time. May be.

  In addition, “Next” and “To main menu” are displayed as selection items on the ID notification screen (see FIG. 11) of the organizer terminal. By selecting “To main menu” on the ID notification screen, Return to the game site menu screen. Further, when “next” is selected and input on the ID notification screen (step A 17), the organizer terminal applies an application (game software for the held game, “Net DE Bingo” application in this description) to its own mobile phone terminal. Is already acquired (step A18), and if it is determined that it has not been acquired, a “download confirmation” screen as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed (step A19), and an application download request is displayed. Is transmitted to the game server (step A20). On the other hand, if it is determined that the application has already been downloaded, the downloaded data is transmitted to the game server (step A22), and the process proceeds to step A23.

  When the process of step S13 is performed, the game server determines in step S14 whether or not there is transmission of reply data regarding the download of the application from the organizer terminal (step S14), and when the reply data is transmitted. The reply data is received (step S15), it is determined whether or not it is a download request (step S16), and if it is a download request, the game application is transmitted to the organizer terminal (step S17), and step S18. Proceed to On the other hand, if the received reply data has already been downloaded, step S16 is determined to be false and the process proceeds directly to step S18. In step S18, the game server transmits a start waiting screen and the number of participants as shown in FIG. 13 to the organizer terminal (step S18), and returns to step S01.

  On the other hand, when the organizer terminal transmits a download request to the game server, the game application is transmitted from the game server, and the game application is downloaded (step A21). When the download of the game application is completed, the organizer terminal proceeds to step A23.

  When the organizer terminal proceeds to step A23, it determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step A23), and if there is data transmission, the data sent from the game server (start waiting screen, number of participants) ) (Step A24), a start waiting screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed (step A25), the number of participants is updated on the start waiting screen (step A26), and the process proceeds to step A27. If there is no data transmission from the game server in step A23, the process jumps directly to step A27. In step A27, the organizer terminal updates the date and time and the current time on the start waiting screen (step A27), and then proceeds to step A28. In addition, a “game start” button is displayed on the start waiting screen, and when the display of “current time”, “number of participants”, etc. reaches an arbitrary time or an arbitrary number of participants, By selecting “Start”, the game server is notified of the game start and the game is started. In step A28, the organizer terminal determines whether “game start” has been input. If “game start” has not been input, the organizer terminal returns to step A23. Hereinafter, when the “game start” is not input, the organizer terminal monitors whether there is data transmission (number of participants) from the game server in the determination process of step A23, and if there is data transmission, Update the display.

  When the game server transmits the start waiting screen and the number of participants to the organizer terminal, the game server returns to step S01 and determines whether or not there is a connection request from the participant terminal. If there is no connection request from the participant terminal, the process proceeds to step S20, where it is determined whether or not the game is being held, because the ID number is stored in the holding area and the game is being held. In step S21, it is determined whether or not there is a game start request from the organizer terminal (step S21). If there is no game start request from the organizer terminal, the process returns to step S01. Until there is a connection request, the game server repeats a processing loop that determines that step S01 is false, step S20 is true, and step S21 is false, and waits for a connection request from a participant terminal.

  On the other hand, the organizer notifies the member who wants to participate in the game with the ID number displayed on the ID notification screen. The ID number transmission method is verbal when there are members on the spot, and is notified by telephone, e-mail, communication between mobile phone terminals or the like when there are no members on the spot.

Next, the application for participation in the held game will be described. When participating in the game, the participant recognizes the ID number in advance as described above, and connects to the game site using the participant terminal. There is no limitation on the mobile phone carriers that can participate in the game (by mobile phone carrier).
The participant terminal requests connection to the game site of the game server through the Internet line (step B01). When there is a connection request from the participant terminal, the game server determines that step S01 is true and transmits a “game site menu” screen as shown in FIG. 8 to the portable terminal of the participant who requested the connection (step S02). ), Go to step S03.

  On the other hand, when the participant terminal is connected to the game site, it determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step B02). When the game site menu screen is transmitted from the game server, the participant terminal transmits the data. The received game site menu screen is received (step B03), and the game site menu screen is displayed on the display screen (step B04). In the case of participating in the game, “direct ID input” for directly entering the ID on the game site menu screen and participating in the game is displayed, and “direct ID input” is selected. When “direct ID input” is selected and input (step B05), the participant terminal transmits an ID input request to the game server (step B06).

  When the game server transmits the game site menu screen, the game server determines whether or not there is data transmission in step S03. When input data is transmitted from the opponent mobile terminal to the game site menu screen, the game server receives the data. (Step S04), it is determined whether or not the content of the received data is a game selection (Step S05). In this case, since the content of the received data is an “ID input request”, the partner mobile terminal Then, it is determined that the terminal is a participant terminal applying for participation in the held game, that is, step S05 is determined to be false, and the process proceeds to step S30. When proceeding to step S30, the game server transmits a direct ID input screen as shown in FIG. 14 to the participant terminal (step S30) and waits for the ID number to be transmitted (step S31).

  When the participant terminal transmits an ID input request to the game server, the participant terminal determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step B07). If there is data transmission, the participant terminal transmits the transmission data ( Direct ID input screen) is received (step B08), and the direct ID input screen is displayed (step B09). The direct ID input screen displays that an ID number is to be input. The participant terminal receives the input of the ID number (step B10 to step B11). When the participant inputs an ID number (for example, “00116522”) to the participant terminal, the participant terminal transmits the ID number input to the game server (step B12).

  When the game server transmits the direct ID input screen to the participant terminal, the game server determines whether or not the ID number is transmitted from the participant terminal in step S31. The ID number is received (step S32), and it is determined whether or not the received ID number is valid (whether or not it is being held) (step S33). If the received ID number matches the ID number stored in the holding area, it is determined that the ID number is being held. On the other hand, if the received ID number does not match the ID number stored in the holding area, it is determined that the ID number is not being held. If it is determined that the event is not being held, an ID number error is transmitted to the participant terminal (step S34), and the process returns to step S01.

  On the other hand, when the participant terminal transmits the ID number to the game server, it determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step B13). It is received (step B14), and it is determined whether or not the content of the received data is being held (step B15). When the ID number error transmitted from the game server is received, the participant terminal determines that step B15 is false, displays an “input error” screen as shown in FIG. 15 (step B16), and is correct again. The user is prompted to enter an ID number (step B05).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S33 that the game is being held, the game server proceeds to step S35 and increments the value of the participant number counter corresponding to the ID number by 1 (step S35). The fact that it is being held is transmitted (step S36), and the process proceeds to step S37.

  In addition, when the in-progress message transmitted from the game server is received, the participant terminal determines that step B15 is true and proceeds to step B17. The participant terminal confirms whether or not the application (game software of the held game, “Net DE Bingo” application in this description) has already been acquired on its own mobile phone terminal (step B17) and has not been acquired. If it is determined, a “download confirmation” screen as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed (step B18), and an application download request is transmitted to the game server (step B19). On the other hand, if it is determined that the application has already been downloaded, the downloaded data is transmitted to the game server (step B21), and the process proceeds to step B22.

  When the game server performs the process of step S36, it determines in step S37 whether or not reply data related to the application download from the participant terminal has been transmitted (step S37), and when the reply data is transmitted. The reply data is received (step S38), it is determined whether or not it is a download request (step S39), and in the case of the download request, the game application is transmitted to the organizer terminal (step S40), and step S41. Proceed to On the other hand, if the received reply data has already been downloaded, step S39 is determined to be false and the process proceeds directly to step S41.

  On the other hand, when the participant terminal transmits a download request to the game server, the game application is transmitted from the game server, and the game application is downloaded (step B20). When the download of the game application is completed, the participant terminal proceeds to step B22.

  When the game server proceeds to step S41, the game server transmits a game start screen B as shown in FIG. 16B to the participant terminal (step S41), and the organizer terminal responds to the increase in the number of participants. The number of participants is transmitted (step S42), and the process returns to step S01.

  When the participant terminal proceeds to step B22, it determines whether or not there is data transmission from the game server (step B22), and if there is data transmission, receives the game start screen B sent from the game server (step B22). B23), a game start screen B as shown in FIG. 16B is displayed (step B24), and the process proceeds to the game start process. Note that the game participants cannot start the game themselves, and the game does not start until the game organizer selects “start game”.

  When the number of participants is transmitted from the game server to the organizer terminal, the organizer terminal determines that step A23 is true, performs step A24 to step A26, and updates the display of the number of participants on the start waiting screen.

  The organizer can start the held game when the display of “current time”, “number of participants”, etc. on the start waiting screen reaches an arbitrary time or an arbitrary number of participants. When starting the held game, select and input “game start” on the start waiting screen. When “game start” is input in step A28, the organizer terminal transmits a game start request to the game server (step A29), and determines whether there is data transmission from the game server (step A30). ). Hereinafter, the organizer terminal repeats Step A30 until a “game start” screen is transmitted from the game server.

  On the other hand, when there is a game start request from the organizer terminal, the game server determines that step S21 is true and proceeds to step S22, and the ID number, game information, and number of participants stored in the holding area are displayed in the in-game area. (Step S22) (see FIG. 18). With this processing, the held game for the ID number is handled as a game start in the game server. Next, the game server clears the ID number, game information, and number of participants stored in the holding area (step S23). By this process, the held game for the ID number is not handled as being held in the game server, and the participation of the held game from the participant terminal is closed. Next, the game server transmits a “game start” screen A as shown in FIG. 16A to the organizer terminal (step S24), and proceeds to game processing. On the other hand, when the data (game start screen A) is transmitted from the game server, the organizer terminal receives the data (step A31) and displays a “game start” screen as shown in FIG. Step A32), a game by an application is started.

  Note that a game played between the participant's mobile phone terminal 3 and the participant terminal through the game server 2 via the Internet line will be briefly described by taking “Net DE Bingo” as an example.

During game holding (host terminal)
When the game is started, a game start screen for the organizer as shown in FIG. 16A is displayed. In addition to the bingo card, “lottery”, “drilling”, and “end” are displayed on the game start screen for the organizer, and the game organizer can perform a lottery of numbers. When “lottery” is selected on the “organizer” screen, an effect screen during lottery as shown in FIG. 19A is displayed, and the number is determined. When the lottery number is determined by lottery, the lottery number is transmitted to the game server 2 and the lottery number is registered. Thereafter, it is confirmed whether or not all the participants are established, and if all the participants are established, the end of the game is transmitted to the organizer terminal. When the game end is received from the game server 2, an “end confirmation” screen as shown in FIG. 19C is displayed on the organizer terminal, and the game ends. When the lottery number registration completion transmitted from the game server 2 is received, the game start screen for the organizer is returned, and the same exchange is repeated until the game ends. When “Hole” is selected on the game start screen for the organizer, the number selected so far is displayed. By selecting the number from the card, the hole shown in FIG. Is completed. When bingo is established on the punching screen, a bingo establishment notification is transmitted to the game server 2 and the bingo establishment is registered in the game server 2. When the drilling is completed, the game returns to the organizer's game start screen and the same exchange is repeated until the game ends. When “end” is selected on the game start screen for the organizer, an end request is transmitted to the game server 2, and an “end confirmation” screen as shown in FIG. 19C is displayed, and the game ends.

During game (participant terminal)
When the game is started, a game start screen for participants as shown in FIG. 16B is displayed. In addition to the bingo card, only “drilled” is displayed on the game start screen for the participants, and the numbers cannot be drawn by themselves. When “drill” is selected on the game start screen for the participant, a number acquisition request is transmitted to the game server 2, the numbers that have been registered so far in the game server 2 are acquired, and the participant terminal The number is displayed. Next, by selecting the displayed number from the cards, punching as shown in FIG. 19D is completed. When bingo is established on the punching screen, a bingo establishment notification is transmitted to the game server 2 and the bingo establishment is registered in the game server 2. When the drilling is completed, the screen returns to the game start screen for the participants, and the above contents are repeated until the bingo is established or the game ends.
