A configuration for connecting to a game server, (2) a configuration in which a plurality of game terminals are connected by a communication line without using a game server, and (3) a plurality of game terminals are connected by a communication line, of which There are configurations in which one unit has a game server function, and (4) a configuration in which a plurality of game terminals are physically coupled to form a single system (for example, an arcade game machine) as a whole. Although the present invention can be applied to any system configuration, in the present embodiment, a network game having a configuration in which the game terminal (1) and the game server are connected via a communication line will be described as an example.
[0040]
[First Embodiment]
First, a first embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of the game system 1 in the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the game system 1 includes a game server 2 and a plurality of game terminals 4 (4-1, 4-2,..., 4-n) connected to the game server 2 via a communication line. It consists of.
[0041]
The game server 2 performs a game progress process such as branching of the behavior of the appearance character in response to the operation instruction of the player at each game terminal 4, and transmits the processing result to the game terminal 4.
[0042]
The game terminal 4 generates and displays a game image based on the information received from the game server 2.
[0043]
In this game system 1, the player of each game terminal 4 connected to the game server 2 moves a player character (hereinafter referred to as “own player character”) according to the story development of the game. In addition, the player proceeds with the game while communicating, such as forming a party with another player through the player character while the game is in progress, and consulting with the other player regarding the strategy and the direction of the battle. In the first embodiment, it is assumed that a player who operates each game terminal 4 operates only one character.
[0044]
For example, when a player operates the game terminal 4 to connect to the game server 2, the player is first passed to a “waiting place” for chatting with other players, waiting for a party, or creating a party. . FIG. 2 shows an example of a game screen displaying “waiting place”. In the figure, the player character 6 is greeting the player character 8.
[0045]
In the present invention, when the number of incentives set according to the number of other players who satisfy a predetermined condition among the other players that the player meets in the shared game space reaches a preset threshold, the player On the other hand, a privilege that provides an incentive is granted. In the first embodiment, when a plurality of players form a party in the “waiting place” shown in FIG. 2, an update condition for the number of incentives of the players making up the party is established. In addition, when updating the number of incentives, the number of times the corresponding players have formed a party in the past is considered.
[0046]
Next, a functional configuration in the first embodiment will be described. First, the functional configuration of the game server 2 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, the functional block of the game server 2 includes a processing unit 100, a communication unit 200, and a storage unit 300.
[0047]
The processing unit 100 controls the game server 2 as a whole based on programs and data stored in the storage unit 300 or data transmitted from the game terminal 4 connected to the game server 2. Various processes such as an instruction to the function unit, a control of the entire game system 1 and a process for realizing a game are performed. The functions of the processing unit 100 are realized by hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), and a given program.
[0048]
The processing unit 100 includes a game progress management unit 120 as a main functional unit. The game progress management unit 120 is based on an operation signal transmitted from the game terminal 4, a game progress management program 320 read from the storage unit 300, and the like. Various game processes such as a process for calculating the position and orientation, the speed of movement, the traveling direction, and the like, and a process for setting the position and line-of-sight direction of the virtual camera in the game space are executed. The game progress management unit 120 includes a player information management unit 122, an incentive number updating unit 124, and a privilege granting unit 126.
[0049]
The player information management unit 122 executes processing according to the player information management program 322, and assigns a unique player ID to a player who first participates in the network game. Further, the assigned player ID is stored in the player information 340 in association with the information related to the player, and thereafter stored as user information for identifying a player participating in the network game.
[0050]
FIG. 4 shows an example of player information 340 and player data 350 stored in the player information 340. As shown in the figure, the player information 340 includes a plurality of player data 350-1, 350-2, 350-3,..., And each player data 350 identifies a player. In association with the player ID 351, information such as character information 352, other player information 353, the number of incentives 354, and the accumulated play time 355 is stored. The player information 340 is updated as needed as the game progresses.
[0051]
The character information 352 stores character data related to the player character operated by the player. FIG. 5 shows an example of the character information 352. As shown in the figure, the character information 352 includes a character ID for identifying the character, a name, an occupation, an ability parameter such as level, life, attack power, defense power, magic power, and various ability parameters, for example. Items that increase or decrease the value, event items that generate various events, possessed items such as key items.
[0052]
FIG. 6 shows an example of the storage format of the other player information 353. The other player information 353 stores a player ID of another player who forms a party with the player. The other player ID is stored in association with the number of times the player has formed a party with the corresponding other player.
[0053]
Although the details will be described later, the incentive number 354 stores the incentive number based on the other player information 353 described above and is updated in accordance with the update of the other player information 353.
[0054]
In the accumulated play time 355, the play time of the month (for example, October 2001) is accumulated, and updated by the player information management unit 122 as needed according to the play time of the player. The game server 2 is connected to a billing server (not shown) that manages information related to the game fee of each player. The play time stored in the accumulated play time 355 is transmitted to the billing server every month by the player information management unit 122, and the game fee of each player for that month is calculated based on the play time. Of course, the game server 2 may be provided with the function of a billing server and manage information related to the play fee of each player.
[0055]
The incentive number update unit 124 executes processing according to the incentive number update program 324. Specifically, the establishment of the incentive number update condition of the players participating in the network game (that is, party creation by a plurality of players) is monitored, and when the incentive number update condition is satisfied, other players of the corresponding player Information 353 and incentive number 354 are updated.
[0056]
When the privilege granting unit 126 executes the process according to the privilege granting program 326 and determines that the number of incentives updated by the incentive number updating unit 124 has reached a preset threshold value, the privilege granting unit 126 applies the privilege according to the threshold value. Is given to the player.
[0057]
FIG. 7 shows an example of privilege information 360. As shown in the figure, the privilege information 360 is a data table in which thresholds and privileges are associated with each other. For example, when it is determined that the updated number of incentives has reached the threshold value 30, the privilege granting unit 126 grants the privilege “attack power + 10” corresponding to the threshold value 30 to the corresponding player. Specifically, the privilege granting unit 126 adds 10 to the attack parameter value of the capability parameter stored in the character information 352 of the player.
[0058]
When it is determined that the updated number of incentives has reached the threshold value 200, a privilege “Do not open door key” corresponding to the threshold value 200 is given to the corresponding player. Specifically, the key item of the door that is not opened is added to the possessed item of the character information 352 of the player. When the player uses this key item to open a predetermined door arranged in the game space, for example, a special stage, a mini game, or the like can be played.
[0059]
Next, the operation of the processing unit 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, when the game is started, the incentive number update unit 124 monitors the establishment of the incentive number update condition (step S10), and waits until it is determined that the incentive number update condition is satisfied. If the incentive number updating unit 124 determines that the incentive number updating condition is satisfied, the incentive number updating unit 124 performs an incentive number updating process for all the players constituting the party (step S12). Hereinafter, the incentive number updating process will be described by taking as an example a case where the player A participating in the network game forms a party with the players B and C.
[0060]
For example, the incentive number updating unit 124 first performs an incentive number updating process for the player A. That is, the player information 353 and the incentive number 354 of the player A are updated. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the player ID of another player (for example, player B) is included in the other player information 353, and whether or not player A has formed a party with player B in the past. Judging. When it is determined that the same player ID as the player B does not exist in the other player information 353, the player ID of the player B associated with the number of times “1” is added to the other player information 353. If it is determined that the same player ID as the player B exists in the other player information 353, the number of times associated with the corresponding other player ID is updated. Next, the incentive number updating unit 124 refers to the incentive number conversion table 380 and updates the incentive number 354 according to the updated number.
[0061]
FIG. 9 shows an example of the incentive number conversion table 380. As shown in the figure, in the incentive number conversion table 380, the number of incentives corresponding to the number of times is set. The incentive number updating unit 124 holds the incentive number 354 in accordance with the incentive number conversion table 380 when the number of times of updating is “1”, that is, when another player ID is newly added to the other player information 353. Add “3” to the value. If the same other player ID exists in the other player information 353 and the number of times of updating is “4 or more”, “0” is added to the value held by the incentive number 354. That is, even if a party is formed four or more times with the same other player, it is not an element that gives a privilege to the player.
[0062]
According to this, the update amount of the number of incentives used as a reference when granting a privilege is the number of times that a player forms a party with another player when the player satisfies the update condition of the number of incentives by forming a party with another player.

Specifically, when it is determined that the incentive number update condition is satisfied, the other player information 853 and the incentive number 854 stored in the player information 850 shown in FIG. The abnormality determination of the incentive number 854 is performed.
[0100]
Here, the player information 850 corresponds to the player data 350 stored in the player information 340 in the first embodiment, stores player data relating to the player operating the game terminal 4, and stores the game data. Updated as needed. That is, each player data is managed in each game terminal 4 while the game is in progress. The player information 850 is transmitted to the game server 2 when the connection with the game server 2 is disconnected, for example, and held as the latest player data in the player information 340 of the game server 2. When the game server 2 is accessed, the corresponding player data 350 is downloaded from the player information 340 and stored in the own player information 850.
[0101]
FIG. 15 shows an example of the player information 850. In the second embodiment, the incentive number 854 is stored in association with the check value 855. The check value 855 is overwritten with the value stored in the incentive number 854 when the incentive number update unit 524 updates the incentive number 854. In the initial state, for example, 0 is stored in the incentive number 854 and the check value 855. That is, in the normal case, the same value is always stored in the incentive number 854 and the check value 855. The incentive number updating unit 524 determines whether or not the values stored in the incentive number 854 and the check value 855 are the same value, and determines that they do not match, that is, the incentive number 854 of the own player information 850. When it is determined that the value stored in is illegally rewritten, an abnormality occurrence notification is transmitted to the game server 2.
[0102]
The terminal-side privilege grant unit 526 executes processing according to the terminal-side privilege grant program 826 and updates the player information 850 according to the privilege information or the penalty information received from the game server 2.

[0104]
Next, operations of the processing unit 100 of the game server 2 and the processing unit 500 of the game terminal 4 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the game system 1 in the second embodiment. As shown in the figure, when the game is started, in each game terminal 4, the incentive number update unit 524 monitors the establishment of the incentive number update condition (step S20), and determines that the incentive number update condition is satisfied. In this case, first, abnormality determination of the number of incentives 854 is performed (step S22). Specifically, the incentive number updating unit 524 compares and determines the values stored in the incentive number 854 and the check value 855, and transmits an abnormality occurrence notification to the game server 2 when it is determined that the two values are different. (Step S24).
[0105]
When the game server 2 receives the abnormality occurrence notification (step S26), the server-side privilege grant unit 127 refers to the penalty information 370 and transmits a penal information write request to the corresponding game terminal 4 (step S28). Then, when the game terminal 4 receives a penal information write request (step S30), the terminal-side privilege grant unit 526 updates the player information 850 according to the received penal information.
[0106]
If it is determined in step S22 that the incentive number is normal, the incentive number updating unit 524 performs incentive number updating processing (step S32). Specifically, the incentive number updating unit 524 updates the other player information 853, updates the incentive number 854 with reference to the incentive number conversion table 870, and updates the check value 855 with the updated number of incentives. Then, the incentive number updating unit 524 transmits the incentive number to the game server 2 (step S34).
[0107]
When the game server 2 receives the number of incentives (step S36), the server-side privilege grant unit 127 executes a privilege grant process (step S38). Specifically, when the server-side privilege grant unit 127 determines whether or not the number of incentives has reached a preset threshold with reference to the privilege information 360, and determines that the number of incentives has reached the threshold In addition, a privilege information write request corresponding to the threshold value is transmitted to the corresponding game terminal 4.
[0108]
When the game terminal 4 receives a privilege information write request (step S40), the terminal-side privilege grant unit 526 updates the player information 850 in accordance with the received write request. When the game server 2 determines that the number of incentives does not exceed the threshold, the game server 4 is notified that the threshold determination has been performed at the game server 2, and the game terminal 4 returns to step S20. The above processing is repeated.
[0109]
As described above, according to the second embodiment, the processing performed on the game server 2 in the first embodiment is shared with the game terminal 4 to reduce the processing load on the game server 2. Can be made.
[0110]
As mentioned above, in 2nd Embodiment, although the embodiment at the time of sharing the process in the game server 2 of 1st Embodiment with the game terminal 4 was demonstrated, the process sharing with the game server 2 and the game terminal 4 is 1st. It is not limited to the example shown in the second embodiment. Specifically, by transmitting / receiving processing requests and data between the game server 2 and the game terminal 4, (1) processing for monitoring the establishment of the incentive number update condition, (2) processing for updating the number of incentives, (3) ▼ It is possible to appropriately share the process of comparing and determining the number of incentives and a preset threshold value.
[0111]
For example, as shown below, the game server 2 and the game terminal 4 share processing. That is, the game terminal 4 holds the number of incentives of the player of the game terminal 4 and executes the processes (1) to (3). When it is determined that the number of incentives exceeds the threshold value in the process (3), a privilege grant request is transmitted to the game server 2. When the game server 2 receives the privilege grant request, the game server 2 performs a process of granting privilege data corresponding to the threshold value to the player of the corresponding game terminal 4.
[0112]
Moreover, it is good also as sharing a process in the game server 2 and the game terminal 4 as shown below. That is, the game terminal 4 executes the process (1) and transmits an incentive number update request to the game server 2 when it is determined that the incentive number update condition is satisfied. Then, the game server 2 manages the number of incentives of players participating in the game, executes the processes (2) and (3) in response to the incentive number update request from the game terminal 4, and in (3) When it is determined that the updated number of incentives exceeds the threshold value, a privilege corresponding to the threshold value is given to the player of the corresponding game terminal 4.
[0113]
Further, when the number of incentives reaches a predetermined threshold value, a privilege related to the game fee may be given to the player. Specifically, for example, the player information management unit 122 associates the accumulated play time 355 in the first embodiment or the accumulated play time 856 in the second embodiment with the play time of the corresponding player. Is stored. In this service play time, “0” is stored as an initial value. Further, for example, a privilege “service play time + 3” is stored in the privilege information 360 in association with a predetermined threshold value. Then, when the privilege granting unit 126 in the first embodiment or the server-side privilege granting unit 127 in the second embodiment determines that the number of incentives has reached the threshold value, the privilege “service” Play time + 3 "is given. That is, 3 is added to the service play time described above. Then, when transmitting the accumulated play time of the player to the accounting server, the player information management unit 122 transmits the service play time by subtracting the service play time from the play time. As a result, it is possible to give a privilege to free the game fee for the service play time to the corresponding player. Further, as a privilege related to the game fee, the discount rate of the game fee may be changed.
[0114]
In the above-described embodiment, the party creation with another player is used as the incentive number update condition. However, for example, the player ID of the other player encountered in the game space is exchanged with the other player, such as in a conversation in the game space. It is stored as other player information in association with the number of encounters, whether or not this number exceeds a preset number as an incentive number update condition, and the number of other players that satisfy the incentive number update condition as an incentive number It is good also as holding. Alternatively, the player ID of another player who has met in the game space is stored as other player information in association with the time when the player has acted with the other player, and whether or not this time exceeds a preset time is determined as an incentive number update condition The number of other players that satisfy the incentive number update condition may be stored as the incentive number.
[0115]
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, as other player information, the player IDs of other players that have been met in the shared game space are automatically stored. The predetermined player information may be exchanged, and the player information of the exchanged other player may be stored as other player information.
[0116]
Further, in the above embodiment, the number of incentives set according to the number of other players who have formed a party considers the number of times a party has been formed with the other player in the past. The play time with each player may be taken into consideration on the assumption that the number of other players who have assembled exceeds the preset number of players.
[0117]
Moreover, although the case where it applied to RPG was demonstrated to the example in the said embodiment, for example, various sports games, such as a fighting game, a simulation game, or a tennis game or a golf game, with other players via a communication line, for example. It can also be applied to various games to be performed. For example, when the present invention is applied to a fighting game, a competitive sports game, or the like, the incentive number update condition is whether the game has progressed until winning or losing with another player as an opponent is determined.
[0118]
As described above, the number of incentives set when a player meets a predetermined condition such as forming a party with another player who has met another player through the player character in the game space is set in advance. When the threshold is reached, a privilege can be given to the player. That is, a player participating in the game can obtain a privilege according to the number of other players who have established a certain relationship or more via the player character.
[0119]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the player character makes contact or performs a joint action in the game space, and the player character corresponds to the number of other player characters whose contact or joint action satisfies a predetermined contact condition or joint condition. A privilege can be given to the player who operates the character. That is, a player participating in the game can obtain a privilege according to the number of other players who have established a certain relationship or more via the player character. Therefore, it is possible to provide motivation to actively play games with other players.
