Description

  The present invention relates to a game management device, a game device, a game system, a game management method, and a program for managing game information of each user.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a game system in which a user can receive various game services provided from a game server by connecting the user's terminal device (personal computer, mobile phone terminal, etc.) to a game server installed on the Internet. (Patent Document 1, etc.). In recent years, a game system in which a browser game or the like can be enjoyed only by performing a simple operation with a terminal device such as a mobile phone has become widespread (Patent Document 2, etc.).

  As a game provided by such a game system, there is a battle-type game in which another user's character or team as an opponent can be selected and played (for example, a game of a sports game). For example, the user selects and opposes an opponent while comparing the abilities and levels of a plurality of opponent candidates displayed on the screen.

JP 2011-30892 A JP 2012-24248 A

  In a conventional game, if the ability of the opponent candidate displayed on the screen is compared with the ability of the player's own character, the majority of the wins and losses can be determined. Therefore, since the game user is likely to lose even if he chooses a character having a higher ability than his / her character's ability, he / she does not choose the higher (upper) opponent but only the lower (lower) opponent. There are many cases to choose and play. That is, the conventional game has a problem that the user's play style is substantially fixed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its object is to provide a game management device, a game device, a game system, and a game management that can realize a highly entertaining game in which the degree of freedom of the user's play style is increased. It is to provide a method and program.

  (1) A game management device according to one aspect of the present invention is a game management device that manages a game, and is owned by a user, and information on an attribute variable that can change an attribute during the game. And a lottery process for selecting n (n is a natural number) or n or less attribute variable objects by lot from among a plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user. The lottery means, display control means for executing display control for displaying the variable attribute selected by the lottery means on the game screen as an object to be selected, and a user possessing a predetermined condition regarding the object to be selected Attribute changing means for changing attributes of at least some of the plurality of attribute variable objects.

  The game management device having this configuration can be configured by an information processing device such as a server that can communicate with the terminal device of each user, for example, and manages various games such as online games and social games. can do. Alternatively, the game management device of this configuration includes a home video game device (a game device configured by connecting a home video game machine to a home television), a portable game dedicated device, a mobile phone terminal, a PHS. (Personal Handy-phone System) terminal, personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile terminal that combines a mobile phone and a personal digital assistant, such as a smartphone, a personal computer, or a tablet computer. It is applied to a game device and can manage a game.

  This game management device includes possession information storage control means for storing, in a storage device, information of an attribute variable that is owned by a user and can change an attribute during a game. Since the storage device itself is not included in this configuration, it may be installed anywhere, whether inside or outside the game management device. Here, the “variable attribute that can change the attribute during the game” can include a character (player card, etc.) and an item (weapon, armor, etc.). For example, a character (player card or the like) that can change (improve) an attribute of ability by strengthening / nurturing corresponds to an attribute variable. Also, items such as weapons and armor having attributes such as attack power and defense power (for example, special bats and gloves for baseball games, weapons and armor for battle games), and items are virtually used in the game. Items whose attributes can be changed by maintaining or maintaining them correspond to variable attributes. In addition, characters that can change attributes such as size (height, weight) and age in the breeding game, items that can have attributes such as taste, color, and shape in the cooking game also fall under the attribute variable. . Thus, the “attribute” refers to various parameters such as ability value, attack power, defense power, size, age, taste, color, and shape.

  And the lottery means executes a lottery process for selecting n or n or less attribute variable objects from among a plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user. Here, “select n or n attribute variable objects by lottery” means “(always) select n attribute variable objects by lottery” or “no more than n (that is, a maximum of n attribute variable objects). The attribute variable is selected by lottery ”. n can be set to an arbitrary number such as “5” or “10”.

  The lottery process may be a random lottery that equalizes the selection probabilities of all the attribute variable items owned by the user. In addition, it is good also as the weighted lottery which made the selection probability of the some attribute variable thing which a user owns differ from another attribute variable object. Further, the timing for executing the lottery process can be arbitrarily determined. For example, the lottery process may be executed at a timing when the user displays a predetermined game screen (My Page, etc.), or the lottery process is executed at a predetermined time (for example, 5:00, 17:00). Also good. Moreover, the frequency which performs a lottery process can also be defined arbitrarily. For example, the frequency of the lottery process can be set once per day, once every half day, once per hour, and the like.

  Further, the display control means executes display control for displaying the attribute variable selected by the lottery means as a selected object on a game screen (for example, a game top screen, a main screen, etc.). For example, when a game management device manages a game while communicating with a terminal device, display control information (for example, game screen data described in HTML) that displays an attribute variable selected by a lottery means as a selected item ) To the terminal device. For example, when the game management device is applied to a user's game device, the display control means can directly execute display control of the game screen of the game device.

  Then, the attribute changing means changes the attributes of at least some of the attribute variable objects among the plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user when the predetermined condition relating to the selected object is satisfied. Here, as an example of the “predetermined condition relating to the selection object”, a “condition that the attribute selection object owned by the user is included in the selection object equal to or greater than the first reference number (described in (3) below) Configuration) ”,“ Condition that the selected variable includes at least the second reference number or more attribute variable items that the user has registered in advance as in-game use items (for example, team order characters in a baseball game) (Structure of (5) described later) ”,“ Condition that an attribute variable having a predetermined value (for example, rarity) or more is included in the selected object in a third reference number or more (described later (6) For example). The first to third reference numbers may be the same or different.

  As another example of the predetermined condition, “a condition that the selected object becomes a predetermined pattern on the game screen, and a pattern piece corresponding to the selected object becomes a completed pattern of a predetermined shape or pattern (described later). (Configuration (7)) ”. These are only examples, and various conditions according to the type and contents of the game can be defined as “predetermined conditions regarding the selection object”.

  Further, “changing the attribute of the variable attribute object” includes changing the attribute of the variable attribute object so as to be advantageous in the game. For example, when the above-described predetermined condition is satisfied, it is possible to improve the attribute of the ability of the character as the attribute variable object, which is advantageous in the game. Furthermore, “changing the attribute of the attribute variable object” includes changing the attribute variable attribute so as to be disadvantageous in the game. For example, when the above-mentioned predetermined condition is satisfied, it may be disadvantageous in the game by reducing the attribute of the ability of the character.

  The user can change the attribute of the variable attribute object such as a character by performing game play such as reinforcement during the game. If the selected object satisfies the predetermined condition, the attribute of the attribute variable object is changed. In other words, this configuration is not limited to the attribute change of the voluntary attribute variable by the user's intention, but by incorporating incidental attribute change based on the selected object displayed by lottery on the game screen into the game. The improvement of the nature is aimed at.

  For example, in a game in which users play against each other using characters strengthened by each user, most of the wins and losses are determined by the ability of the character strengthened by each user. That is, in the past, it was difficult to win against a superior opponent, and as described above, it was a substantially fixed play style in which only the inferior opponents were selected to compete. On the other hand, in this configuration, when the selected object selected in the lottery satisfies the predetermined condition, for example, when the attribute of the attribute variable object is changed to be advantageous in the game, The chance of winning a match is higher than before. Therefore, in this case, it becomes easy to select a superior opponent as an opponent and play against it, and the variation of the user's play style is widened.

  In addition, if the selected object selected in the lottery satisfies the predetermined condition, for example, if the attribute of the attribute variable object is changed so as to be disadvantageous in the game, there is a possibility that it will not win even if it fights against a lower opponent Becomes higher. Therefore, when the attribute is changed disadvantageously in the game, it is possible to take a countermeasure such as playing another game mode (mode for strengthening the character) in advance of the battle.

  As described above, in this configuration, the game performance is improved by incorporating an accidental attribute change based on the selection displayed on the game screen by lottery, and the freedom of the user's play style is increased. A highly entertaining game can be realized.

  (2) In the above configuration, when the attribute changing unit satisfies the predetermined condition, the attributes of at least some of the attribute variable objects among the plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user are only for a predetermined period. It is desirable to change it so that it is advantageous to the game. For example, when the attribute variable is a game character, the ability of the game character may be improved.

  According to this configuration, the period during which the attribute of the attribute variable is changed so as to be advantageous to the game is limited to a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour). Therefore, each user is given a motivation to actively play a game using a variable attribute (such as a character) whose attribute has been changed during a period in which the game is advantageous. For example, the user's willingness to play can be evoked such that a battle with another user is performed while the ability of the game character is improving. Thereby, activation of the whole game can be aimed at.

  (3) In the configuration of the above (1) or (2), the predetermined condition is that an attribute variable possessed by the user is first among the selected objects selected within n by the lottery means. More than the reference number is included, and it is desirable that the attribute changing unit changes the attribute of the attribute variable that is owned by the user included in the selected object so as to be advantageous in the game.

  According to this configuration, it is predetermined that among the selection objects selected within n (for example, within 5), the attribute variable possessed by the user is included in the first reference number or more (for example, 3 or more). Condition. The first reference number is naturally 1 or more and n or less. In this configuration, among a plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user, for example, within 5 (that is, at most 5) attribute variable objects are selected as selection objects and displayed on the game screen. There may be cases where only a smaller number (for example, 1 to 2) of attribute variables than the reference number is selected. In such a situation, the attribute variable object owned by the user is selected as the selection object of the first reference number or more (for example, 3 or more), thereby satisfying the predetermined condition.

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the attribute variable attribute included in the selection object is changed so as to be advantageous in the game. With this configuration, when the attribute variable possessed by the user is displayed on the game screen at the first reference number or more, if the game play using the attribute variable is performed, the game can be advantageously advanced. An interesting game that you can do. In addition, if the attribute variable possessed by the user is less than the first reference number, it is expected that the attribute will be equal to or higher than the first reference number at the next opportunity, so the user's interest in the game will continue. Will be sustained.

  (4) In the configuration of (3) above, the game is a game in which users can establish a fellowship relationship, and the game management device stores fellow information of each user in a storage device. Control means and login management means for managing the login state of each user's terminal device to the game, wherein the lottery means of a fellow terminal device managed as a login state by the login management means As the number of users increases, it is desirable to increase the probability of selecting a variable attribute owned by the user.

  According to this configuration, the users can establish a fellowship relationship, and the fellow information storage control means stores information about each user's fellows in the storage device. In addition, the login status of each user's terminal device to the game is managed by the login management means. Therefore, this game management device can recognize how many log-ins of the user's associates are currently in.

  Then, the user who has a larger number of fellow terminal devices managed as the login state by the login management unit increases the lottery probability that the attribute variable owned by the user is selected. For example, the lottery probability of each attribute variable when the number of logins of friends is 0, 1 to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 14, 15 to 19, 20 or more. 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%. Therefore, the game specification is such that the larger the number of friend terminal devices logged in, the easier it is to satisfy the predetermined condition.

  Note that the variable probability object lottery probability is 70%, for example, the probability that any of the variable attribute objects owned by the user is selected is 70%, and the variable attribute object owned by the user is not selected. The probability is 30%. Since the lottery means selects n or less variable attributes by lottery, the lottery with the attribute variable having a lottery probability of 70% is executed n times.

  With this configuration, as the number of friends increases, the number of logins of friends increases, and it becomes easier to satisfy predetermined conditions. Therefore, each user can be motivated to actively make many friends. become.

  In order to increase the number of logins of friends, for example, each user is expected to communicate with the friends by sending a message such as “Let's play a game together today's lunch break!”. As a result, a game environment in which communication can be actively carried out between friends can be promoted, and the entire game community can be activated.

  (5) In the configuration according to any one of (1) to (4), the game management device applies a predetermined number of attribute variable objects among the attribute variable objects owned by the user in the game that affects the game result. In accordance with information related to an operation for registering as a used item, the information processing device further includes registration means for registering the in-game use item, and the predetermined condition includes the selection item including the in-game use item equal to or greater than a second reference number. It is desirable that the attribute changing unit changes the attribute of the in-game use item included in the selection object so as to be advantageous in the game.

  According to this configuration, the user can register a predetermined number of attribute variable objects among the attribute variable objects owned by the user as in-game use items that affect the game result. Here, the “used item in game” corresponds to a player character registered as a team order in a baseball game, for example.

  Then, a predetermined condition is that the in-game use items are included in the selected items selected within n (for example, within 5) or more (for example, 1 or more). The second reference number is naturally 1 or more and n or less. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the attribute of the in-game use item included in the selection object is changed so as to be advantageous in the game (for example, the ability value is changed to 1.5 times). ) With this configuration, when the in-game use items registered in advance by the user are displayed on the game screen by the second reference number or more, it is advantageous to play the game using the in-game use items. A novel and interesting game that can be advanced. For example, if the user has 60 player characters, if 20 users are selected and registered as a team order, these 20 people correspond to “in-game items”. . That is, the player character owned by the user does not have to be simply selected as the selected object, and the player character registered by the user as the team order needs to be selected as the selected object by the second reference number or more. It is. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, the ability of the player character of the team order is improved, but for the user, the ability of the team order adopted when performing a battle with other users is improved. Since this is advantageous, according to the present configuration, a game full of interest that can be more interesting for the user is realized.

  Furthermore, according to this configuration, among attribute variable items owned by the user, those not registered as in-game use items are reduced (for example, sold in the game or presented to other users). Thus, it is possible to intentionally increase the probability that the in-game use item is selected. Therefore, before playing the game using the in-game use and before the lottery process by the lottery means, the attribute variable that is not registered as the in-game use is sold and reduced. After that, the result of the lottery process executed by the lottery means is confirmed on the game screen, and if a predetermined condition is satisfied, a game strategy of playing a game using the in-game use can be taken. With this configuration, the game performance is greatly improved.

  (6) In the configuration according to any one of (1) to (5) above, the attribute variable has a value attribute representing its value, and the predetermined condition is greater than or equal to a predetermined value for the object to be selected. Is included in the third reference number or more, and the attribute changing means, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the attributes of at least some of the attribute variable objects among the plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user, It is desirable to change it so that it is advantageous to the game.

  According to this configuration, the attribute variable has a value attribute. Here, as an example of the “value attribute”, there is a rarity (rare degree) indicating a high scarcity value. Other examples include ability levels and ability ranks that indicate high utility value. And in this structure, it is set as a predetermined condition that the thing more than a predetermined value is contained in the selection object more than a 3rd reference number (for example, 3 or more). The third reference number is naturally 1 or more and n or less.

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the attributes of at least some of the attribute variable objects among the plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user are changed so as to be advantageous in the game. For example, taking a baseball game as an example, the attribute of the ability of the player characters constituting the user's team is changed so as to be advantageous in the game. Or you may change the attribute of the selected object more than the predetermined value displayed on the game screen so that it may become advantageous on a game.

  With this configuration, the attribute is changed when an attribute variable having a predetermined value or more (for example, 3 or more of 1 to 5 rare degrees) is displayed on the game screen by the third reference number or more. If the game play using the attribute variable is performed, an interesting game that the game can be advantageously advanced can be realized.

  (7) In any one of the above configurations (1) to (6), the game management device stores pattern information that becomes a completed pattern having a predetermined shape or pattern by arranging n pattern pieces in a predetermined order. The image information storage control means stored in the storage device in advance, and the association means for associating each attribute variable owned by the user with any of the n picture pieces, the display control means, Display control is performed to display the picture piece associated with the selected object on the game screen, and the predetermined condition corresponds to the selected object in a state where the selected object is displayed side by side on the game screen. It is desirable that the finished picture is formed by the attached picture pieces.

  According to this configuration, pattern information that becomes a completed pattern by arranging n pattern pieces in a predetermined order (for example, five pattern pieces P1 to P5 are arranged in this order as illustrated in FIG. 26). Thus, the pattern information) that is the completed pattern of the bat is stored in the storage device. Each attribute variable owned by the user is associated with any one of the n picture pieces by the association unit (see FIG. 26). In addition, the pattern piece is displayed on the game screen together with the attribute variable object as the associated selection object. Note that there are various screen display formats, and the selected object and the picture piece associated with each other may be displayed side by side so as not to overlap each other, or both may be displayed in a superimposed manner. Alternatively, a pattern piece may be displayed on the background of the selected object (such as a character).

  In this configuration, it is a predetermined condition that the selected picture becomes the completed picture by the picture piece associated with the selected object in a state where the selected object is displayed side by side on the game screen. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, the attributes of at least some of the attribute variable objects among the plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user are changed so as to be advantageous (or disadvantageous) in terms of the game.

  In this configuration, since the predetermined condition is satisfied by displaying the completed picture on the game screen, it is possible to easily notify the user that the condition has been satisfied by the completed picture.

  (8) In any one of the constitutions (1) to (7), the lottery means does not execute the lottery process again until a predetermined period elapses after the lottery process is executed. Only when the lottery conditions are satisfied, it is desirable to execute the lottery process again even before the predetermined period has elapsed.

  According to this configuration, basically, after the lottery process is executed, it is necessary to wait for the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour) before the lottery process is executed again. However, only when the predetermined re-lottery condition is satisfied, the lottery process is executed again even before the predetermined period elapses. Here, as an example of the re-lottery condition, there is a condition that a predetermined point (or in-game currency) is consumed. As another re-lottery condition, there is a condition that a right item that can be re-drawn (re-lottery ticket or the like: obtainable by exchanging with in-game currency, for example). In addition, a condition such as clearing a predetermined stage in the game or winning a battle may be used as a re-drawing condition. These are only examples, and any condition can be used as the redrawing condition depending on the type and content of the game.

  As a result of the lottery process, even if the attribute of the attribute variable object cannot be enjoyed advantageously in the game as a result of the lottery process, if the re-lottery condition is satisfied, Since it becomes possible to receive a re-lottery without waiting for progress, it is possible to give the user an opportunity to enjoy the benefits early.

  (9) A game system according to another aspect of the present invention is a game system including a game management device that manages a game and a terminal device that communicates with the game management device. Owned information storage control means for storing in the storage device information on attribute variable objects that are owned and can change attributes during the game, and within a predetermined number of attribute variable objects owned by the user The lottery means for executing a lottery process for selecting a variable attribute object by lottery, the display control means for executing display control for displaying the attribute variable object selected by the lottery means as a selected object on the game screen, and the selected object Each means of the attribute changing means for changing the attributes of at least some of the attribute variable objects among the plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user when the predetermined condition is satisfied. It is either comprises configuration of management apparatus or the terminal device.

  (10) A game management method according to another aspect of the present invention is a game management method in a computer that manages a game, the computer owns the user, and changes an attribute during the game. Possession information storage control step for storing information on variable attribute objects that can be stored in the storage device, and a lottery process in which the computer selects a predetermined number of attribute variable objects from among a plurality of attribute variable objects owned by the user by lottery. A lottery step to be executed; a display control step in which the computer displays a variable attribute selected in the lottery step as a selected item on the game screen; and a computer sets a predetermined condition relating to the selected item. When satisfied, change the attribute of at least some of the variable attributes among multiple attribute variable owned by the user Including an attribute changing step that, a.

  (11) A program according to another aspect of the present invention is a program for causing a computer to operate as a game management device for managing a game, wherein the computer is owned by a user and is in a game. Owner information storage control means for storing information on variable attribute items that can be changed in the storage device, lottery for selecting a predetermined number of attribute variable items from a plurality of variable attribute items owned by the user by lottery A lottery means for executing processing, a display control means for executing display control for displaying an attribute variable selected by the lottery means as a selection on the game screen, and a user who satisfies a predetermined condition regarding the selection Is a property change means for changing the attributes of at least some of the variable attributes of the plurality of variable attributes owned by A gram.

  According to the present invention, the game property is improved by incorporating an accidental attribute change based on a selection displayed on the game screen by lottery into the game, and the freedom of the user's play style is enhanced. A high game can be realized.

  Hereinafter, a game management device, a game device, a game system, a game management method, and a program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Outline of the game system]
FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a game system in which a game management device according to an embodiment of the present invention is incorporated. As shown in the figure, this game system includes a game server 1 installed on a network 4 such as the Internet, a database server 2 connected to be communicable with the game server 1, and a game server via the network 4. 1 and the terminal device 3 of each user that can be communicably connected.

  The network 4 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the Internet. For example, as long as the game server 1 and the terminal device 3 of each user can be connected to each other so as to communicate with each other, for example, a dedicated line, a public line, etc. It may be a line (telephone line, mobile communication line, etc.), wired LAN (Local Area Network), wireless LAN, or the like, or a combination of the Internet and these.

  In this example of the game system, a game management device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a game server 1 and a database server 2. The game server 1 receives access from the terminal device 3 of each user who receives the game service via the network 4 and stores and manages game information of each user in the database server 2 (storage device). A game service is provided via the network 4.

  In the present embodiment, an example of providing a so-called browser game in which a game can be played by a web browser mounted on each user's terminal device 3 will be described as one form of game service provided by the game server 1. In the service form for providing the browser game, it is not necessary to download or install software dedicated to the game on the user's terminal device 3, and the user can easily connect to the game server anywhere as long as the terminal device 3 can be connected to the network 4. The game service provided from 1 can be enjoyed.

  In this game system, a program (application software) for a browser game is installed in the game server 1, and the game server 1 performs arithmetic processing and data for progressing the game in accordance with input operations on the terminal device 3 of each user. Execute the process. Then, the game server 1 updates the game information of each user in the database server 2 based on the execution result of the arithmetic processing and the like, and web page information for displaying the execution result on the screen of the user terminal device 3 (Game screen data) is transmitted to the terminal device 3 of each user.

  Each user's terminal device 3 is equipped with a web browser having a website browsing function as a user agent so that the web page information transmitted from the game server 1 can be displayed on the screen of the terminal device 3. It has become. As the terminal device 3, for example, a mobile phone terminal, a PHS terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a personal computer, a tablet computer, or a communication function that is a mobile terminal in which a mobile phone and a mobile information terminal are integrated. Various terminals that can be connected to the game server 1 via the network 4 and receive a game service, such as game devices (stationary or portable game devices), can be applied.

  In addition, the game provided in the present embodiment can have a so-called social game element that allows the user to play while interacting with other users who are receiving game services. For example, by incorporating the game server 1 and the database server 2 of the present embodiment into a social networking service (SNS) system, a game system that provides a social game service as one of the SNS services can be obtained. In this way, a game service can be provided to the user by a game system operating on the SNS platform, but the game server 1 and the database server 2 can be constructed as independent game systems without being incorporated into the SNS system. Good. Although this game system can be applied to an online game that cannot interact with other users, in this embodiment, a game that can interact with other users will be described.

  Examples of games provided by the game server 1 include sports / racing games, simulation games, and training games for baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, golf, boxing, horse racing, car racing, and the like. Various games such as role-playing games and quiz games can be used regardless of the game format and genre. As an example, in the present embodiment, an example in which the game server 1 manages a baseball game will be described below.

  This game server 1 selects n or less, for example, 5 or less player characters from among player characters (variable attributes) owned by the user, and displays them on a game screen (such as My Page). And when the player character as a selection thing chosen by lottery satisfies predetermined conditions, at least some characters (for example, the character selected by lottery) in the player character which a user owns Change the attribute (ability value, etc.) to be advantageous to the game. That is, the game server 1 according to the present embodiment is intended to improve game characteristics by incorporating an accidental attribute change based on a selection displayed on the game screen by lottery into the game. Thereby, when a user battles with an opponent, if the attribute of the player character has been changed advantageously in the game, there is a high possibility that the player can win even if he battles with a higher opponent. Therefore, unlike the conventional game, the game style does not become a substantially fixed game style in which only the lower level opponents are selected and battled, and the variation of the user's play style is widened. Details of the configuration of the game management device and the like according to the present embodiment for realizing this will be described below.

[Functional configuration of game management device]
FIG. 4 is a main functional block diagram of a game management device (game server 1 and database server 2) that communicates with the terminal device 3. The game management apparatus according to the present embodiment mainly includes owned player card storage control means 51 (owned information storage control means), lottery means 52, display control means 53, attribute change means 54, and the like. Each of these means is realized by the CPU 11 of the game server 1 executing the program according to the present embodiment.

  In the baseball game of the present embodiment, a user can obtain a player character in the game and use the player character to play a match (match) with another user in the game. The player character owned by the user can be in a card format in which the form of the player character is visible on the game screen of the terminal device 3. That is, the player character is managed by the game server 1 as a digital player card and displayed on the game screen of the user terminal device 3. FIG. 5 illustrates five player cards 100 displayed on the main screen (so-called “My Page”) of the terminal device 3 of the user. The player character form and card rarity (the level of rarity value is shown). It is displayed on the screen as a digital player card with a notation of stars).

  The user can collect player cards while playing the game, form his own original team, and compete with other users for ranking. In addition, the user can improve the attribute of the ability of the player card by synthesizing the collected player cards (that is, train the player), and can enjoy the game with the aim of creating a stronger team. In addition to the composition of the player cards, for example, the ability attribute of the player card may be improved by virtually performing practice in the practice mode.

  In such a baseball game, the owned player card storage control means 51 has a function of storing information on player cards (attribute variable objects) owned by the user in the storage device 50 (such as the database server 2). FIG. 6 shows an example of player card information owned by the user, which the owned player card storage control means 51 stores and manages in the database server 2 (in this example, information for one person with user ID = “000001”). Show.

  The owned player card storage control means 51 associates with the user ID, which is identification information for uniquely identifying the user, and stores information on the player card owned by the user in the game in a predetermined storage of the database server 2. Store in the area. Examples of the player card information include identification information (player card ID) for uniquely identifying a player card, an ability value indicating the height of a player's ability, an order player flag, and the like.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which a player's ability value can be set for three ability items (abilities 1 to 3). As an example of the ability item, when the player card is a fielder, the abilities 1 to 3 can be “blow”, “running power”, “defense”, etc., and when the player card is a pitcher, ability 1 ˜3 can be set as “sphere force”, “ball control”, “change”, and the like. The capability item is not limited to this example, and can be increased or decreased. An order player flag is a player (player incorporated in a team order) who participates in a match with another user's team among player cards possessed by the user, or is a stand-by player other than that This flag is “1”, indicating that it is registered as a team order player card. The user can set a team order from among the player cards owned by operating the terminal device 3.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the database server 2 is associated with the player card ID, and the player name, player number, position, team, rarity value, ability value (reinforced by synthesis) of the player card. There is a player card database in which player card information such as image data is not stored. The player card can be, for example, a card that replicates a real player belonging to any of 12 professional baseball teams (or 30 MLB teams) in the real world. And the game server 1 can acquire the attribute information and image data of the player card corresponding to the said player card ID from the player card database based on the player card ID stored in the owned player card storage control means 51. It has become.

  In addition, you may provide arbitrary upper limits, such as 50 sheets and 100 sheets, for example in the possession number of the player card which each user can own in a game.

  Next, the lottery means 52 will be described. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, five selected object display areas 101 to 105 are provided in the main screen. A player card selected by lottery by the lottery means 52 from among player cards owned by the user is displayed in the selection object display area 101.

  That is, the lottery means 52 has a function of executing a lottery process for selecting n (n = 5 in the present embodiment) player cards by lottery from among a plurality of player cards owned by the user. Note that the lottery means 52 may always select five player cards by lottery, or draw player cards within five (that is, a maximum of five and sometimes less than five). You may choose by.

  When the lottery means 52 always selects five player cards by lottery, the player card 100 is displayed in each of the five selected object display areas 101 to 105 in the main screen shown in FIG. Nothing will be displayed. On the other hand, when the lottery means 52 selects up to five player cards by lottery, items other than the player cards (for example, items such as gloves, balls, spike shoes, etc.) may be selected. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, not only the player card 100 but also gloves, balls, spike shoes, etc. other than the player card are displayed in the five selected object display areas 101 to 105 in the main screen. Sometimes.

  The lottery process executed by the lottery means 52 can be a random lottery that equalizes the selection probabilities of all player cards owned by the user. Or it is good also as the weighted lottery which made the selection probability of the some player card which a user owns differ from other player cards. For example, the player card set in the team order by the user may have a higher selection probability than other player cards.

  The timing at which the lottery means 52 executes the lottery process can be arbitrarily determined. For example, the lottery means 52 can execute the lottery process at a predetermined time (for example, every day at 5:00 and 17:00). An example in which the lottery means 52 executes the lottery process when the screen is displayed will be described.

  Further, the frequency with which the lottery means 52 executes the lottery process can be arbitrarily determined. For example, the frequency of the lottery process can be set once per day, once every half day, once per hour, and the like.

  When the frequency of the lottery process is once a day, the player cards displayed in the five selected object display areas 101 to 105 in the main screen are changed only once a day. For example, the lottery process is executed every day when the main screen is first displayed. In addition, when the frequency of the lottery process is set to once every half day, the lottery process can be executed every day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, when the main screen is displayed.

  In addition, when the frequency of the lottery process is once per hour, for example, when the lottery process is executed when the main screen is displayed, the next lottery process may not be executed unless one hour has passed thereafter. it can.

  Next, the display control means 53 will be described. The display control means 53 has a function of executing display control for displaying the player card selected by the lottery means 52 on the game screen (in this embodiment, the main screen) as an object to be selected. In the present embodiment, the display control means 53 of the game server 1 communicates with the terminal device 3 and executes display control of the game screen. That is, the display control unit 53 transmits display control information (for example, main screen data described in HTML) for displaying the player card selected by the lottery unit 52 as a selected object to the terminal device 3, thereby causing the game screen to be displayed. Execute display control.

  Next, the attribute changing unit 54 will be described. The attribute changing unit 54 satisfies at least a part of the plurality of player cards owned by the user when satisfying a predetermined condition regarding the selected object (player card displayed on the game screen) selected by the lottery unit 52. It has a function to change the attribute of the player card.

  In the present embodiment, as an example of the “predetermined condition regarding the selection object”, “a condition that the selection object includes at least a first reference number (for example, three) player cards owned by the user” Will be described. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, items such as gloves other than the player cards can be displayed in the selection object display areas 101 to 105 on the main screen, and the player card owned by the user is the first reference. The predetermined condition is satisfied by displaying more than a few on the main screen. The first reference number may be set to any one of “1” to “5”. In the present embodiment, an example in which the first reference number is “3” will be described.

  The attribute changing unit 54, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, includes at least some of the player cards of the plurality of player cards owned by the user, for example, player cards displayed as a selection object on the main screen. Change the attribute of the ability to be advantageous to the game. For example, the attribute of the player card is changed by adding a predetermined value to the ability value of the player card or improving the ability value of the player card by a predetermined ratio.

  As a specific example, when three or more player cards owned by the user are displayed on the main screen, the attribute changing unit 54 changes the displayed ability value of the player card to 1.5 times. To do. In this case, if the user sets a player card displayed on the main screen as a team order and performs a battle, the user can advantageously advance the battle with the team strength increased.

  As a variation, the attribute changing means 54 may improve the abilities of all player cards owned by the user when the predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, the abilities of all player cards are increased by 1.1 times). change). Alternatively, the abilities of all the player cards set in the team order may be improved (for example, the abilities of all the player cards in the team order are changed to 1.2 times).

  As shown in FIG. 9, the game server 1 includes game information storage control means 61 and game progress means 62. The game information storage control means 61 stores the game information of each user in the database server 2 as the storage device 50.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the game information storage control means 61 includes, in addition to the above-mentioned owned player card storage control means 51, a user information storage control means 61a, an owned point storage control means 61b, an owned coin storage control means 61c, Item storage control means 61d and the like are provided. FIG. 11 shows an example of game information of each user stored in the database server 2 by the storage control means 61a to 61d of the game information storage control means 61 (in this example, a game for one person with user ID = “000001”). Information).

  As shown in FIG. 11, the user information storage control means 61a associates a user ID with each of a login ID, a password, a user name (such as a nickname used in the game), a team name, a game level, and a favorite team. User information regarding the user is stored in a predetermined storage area of the database server 2. Here, the login ID and password are used for login authentication when each user operates the terminal device 3 to access the game server 1. The user name information is arbitrary information set by the user when the user registers as a member for receiving the game service or when the game is executed for the first time. The team name is the name of his / her team arbitrarily given by the user. The favorite team is information in which an arbitrary team desired by the user among 12 professional baseball teams (or 30 MLB teams) is set as a “favorite team”. The game level is improved when the user progresses the game and acquires an experience value.

  The owned point storage control means 51b stores various points (including values corresponding to points) owned by the user in the game in a predetermined storage area of the database server 2 in association with the user ID. In this game, there are various game modes, and various points can be acquired and the acquired points can be used according to the game mode.

  Examples of points include action points, operating costs, reinforcement points, and exchange points in addition to the above experience values. The action points are used in a “scout mode” in which a player card is searched while consuming the action points to scout the players. The management cost is used in the “match mode” in which an individual match is specified by specifying another user, and the individual match is performed at a cost (point) necessary for managing the match. It is consumed by. For example, the action points and operating costs consumed and reduced during the game are recovered over time (for example, one point is recovered every 3 minutes), or the experience value reaches a certain amount. As the user level increases, the maximum value can be recovered at once.

  The strengthening points are used in the “strengthening mode” in which the player card to be strengthened and the player card of the strengthening material are combined to improve the ability of the player card to be strengthened. It is consumed by doing. The player card of the reinforcing material used for this synthesis is excluded from the player card owned by the user. Reinforcement points can be obtained, for example, by executing a scout mode or a battle mode. In addition, the exchange point is a point that can be obtained when a user exchanges messages by sending messages to other users. This exchange point can be used, for example, in a “player acquisition mode” in which a predetermined number (for example, one) of player cards can be acquired by lottery based on a random number or the like from all player cards managed by the game server 1. Yes, you can receive one player acquisition lottery for a given exchange point.

  The owned coin storage control means 51c associates the user ID with the coin owned by the user in the game (in-game currency different from the points) for each user ID in a predetermined storage area of the database server 2. To remember. This coin is necessary, for example, when acquiring an item to be charged.

  The owned item storage control unit 51d stores an item acquired by the user in the game in a predetermined storage area of the database server 2 for each user ID in association with the user ID. As shown in FIG. 11, examples of items include recovery items. The recovery item is an item that recovers the above-mentioned action points consumed and reduced during the game to the maximum value instantly without waiting for the passage of time. For example, the recovery item can be acquired by consuming and purchasing the coin or satisfying a predetermined bonus condition in the game.

  The items that the user can acquire and possess in the game are not limited to these, for example, treasure items that can be acquired when winning a battle, equipment for characters such as weapons and armor, It is also possible to own magic items, special items, and various other items that generate various effects and effects.

  Next, the game progress means 62 shown in FIG. 9 will be described. As shown in the figure, the game progress means 62 functionally includes a reception means 62a, a game execution means 62b, a screen generation means 62c, a transmission means 62d, and the like. The game progress means 62 basically executes the game in response to an operation on the terminal device 3 by the user, generates game screen data corresponding to the execution result, and transmits the game screen data to the terminal device 3. The game is advanced by displaying a game screen corresponding to the user's operation on 3.

  Each means 52 to 54 of the game server 1 shown in FIG. 4 operates in cooperation with the game progress means 62 or operates as part of the function of the game progress means 62.

  When the game screen is displayed by the web browser of the user's terminal device 3, when the user performs an operation of selecting a selectable button object or a character string with a hyperlink set on the game screen, the operation Operation information (such as a request for a game screen) is transmitted to the game server 1 by the web browser of the terminal device 3. In the game server 1, when the receiving means 62a receives the operation information, the game executing means 62b reads the user's game information in accordance with the operation information, and executes the game by performing calculations and data processing.

  For example, in the case where the user performs an operation of playing against another user's team in the battle mode, the game execution means 62b is configured such that the characters (both teams) corresponding to the user IDs of both users who are playing the battle ( The information of the character that participates in the game is read from the database server 2. And the game execution means 62b performs the calculation which determines a win / loss based on the ability value etc. of the character of both teams. As an example of the calculation of this win / loss decision, the winning team may be the player with the higher total ability value of the characters of both teams, or the team with the higher total ability value wins with a higher probability of winning. The team may be obtained by probability calculation.

  The screen generation means 62c generates game screen data made up of, for example, HTML data according to the execution result by the game execution means 62b. The HTML data may include image data such as characters read from the database server 2. Moreover, the script (program) which operate | moves by the plug-in of the web browser of the terminal device 3 may be embedded in HTML data. When the script provided from the game server 1 is executed by the terminal device 3, the game screen displayed on the terminal device 3 can be a moving image.

  The transmission unit 62d transmits the game screen data (HTML data or the like) generated by the screen generation unit 62c to the user terminal device 3 as a response to the game screen request. In the terminal device 3 of the user who has received the game screen data, the game screen is displayed on the display unit 35 by the web browser.

Receiving this request, the game server 1 performs arithmetic processing and data processing according to the user's operation to execute the game (S23), and transmits game screen data reflecting the execution result to the terminal device 3 (S24). ). And in the terminal device 3 which received screen data, a web browser interprets the said data and displays a game screen on the display part 35 (S15).

  Thereafter, the above-described S14 and S15 are repeated in the user terminal device 3, and the above-described S23 and S24 are repeated in the game server 1, whereby the selectable button displayed on the screen of the terminal device 3 Etc., the game screen of the terminal device 3 is switched one after another, and the game can be advanced.

  Thereafter, when the user operates the terminal device 3 to close the game screen (S16), the game server 1 performs logout processing (S25). For example, when the user closes the web browser, the game server 1 performs logout processing after a session timeout.

  By the way, in this game system, even when the user logs out from the game server 1, the game server 1 side can read out the game information of the user and advance the game. For example, another logged-in user may fight against a team of logged-out users. Also in this case, the game progress means 62 of the game server 1 reads out the game information of each user from the database server 2 and executes a battle regardless of whether the user is logged in or not, and reflects the execution result. Update the game information of each user. Thus, the result of the game executed when the user is logged out from the game server 1 can be confirmed on the screen when the user accesses the game server 1 thereafter.

[Operation of game management device]
Next, a more detailed operation example of the game management device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. FIG. 13 shows the flow of processing of the game server 1 targeting one user, and the same processing is performed for each user managed by the game server 1.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the authentication means 53 of the game server 1 receives an access request from the user's terminal device 3 (YES in S31), the login ID / password transmitted from the terminal device 3 or the mobile phone Based on the individual identification number of the terminal or the like, login authentication is performed to determine whether or not to permit access (S32). Here, when access is not permitted (NO in S32), the game server 1 transmits screen data for prompting registration of use of the game service to the terminal device 3 (S33). On the other hand, when access is permitted (YES in S32), access information (log) is stored (S34).

  Then, the game server 1 transmits main screen data (or top screen data) to the terminal device 3 of the user who has permitted access (S35). Thereafter, when a screen request corresponding to the user's game operation transmitted from the user's terminal device 3 is received (YES in S36), the game executing means 52a performs arithmetic processing and data processing corresponding to the screen request. The game is executed (S37).

  Thereafter, the game server 1 determines whether or not the user's game information needs to be updated by executing the game (S38). If the game server 1 needs to be updated (YES in S38), it is stored in the database server 2. The user's game information is updated (S39). For example, when the user's game operation is an operation of performing an individual battle with another user, the game information of the user such as information on the game result, operation cost, and strengthening points is updated as a result of the battle being executed. It will be. On the other hand, for example, when the user's game operation is a screen movement operation, the game execution process corresponding to the operation is only data processing such as reading out the user's game information from the database server 2, and the process There is no change in the user's game information before and after, so there is no need to update the user's game information (NO in S38).

  Thereafter, the screen generation means 63c generates game screen data reflecting the game execution result (S40), and the transmission means 53d transmits the game screen data to the user terminal device 3 (S41). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the user's terminal device 3 has logged out (S42), and the game proceeds by repeating the processes of S36 to S41 until the terminal device 3 logs out.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 14, a processing example of a player card lottery displayed on the main screen and an attribute change process based on the lottery result will be described.

  When the user operates the terminal device 3 to perform an operation for displaying the main screen (YES in S51), the game server 1 performs a lottery process for player cards owned by the user according to the information related to the operation. Execute (S52). In this lottery process, items such as gloves, balls, spike shoes, etc. other than player cards may be selected. For example, the probability that any one of the player cards owned by the user is selected may be 60%, and the probability that an item other than the player cards is selected may be 40%. In the present embodiment, five selected object display areas 101 to 105 are provided on the main screen, and a maximum of five player cards are displayed. Therefore, the lottery process in step S52 is executed five times.

  After the lottery process is executed five times (YES in S53), the game server 1 creates main screen data in which the player cards or items selected in the lottery are arranged in the selection object display areas 101 to 105 ( S54). Then, the game server 1 transmits the created main screen data to the user terminal device 3 (S55). Thereby, the main screen illustrated in FIG. 5 or 8 is displayed on the screen of the terminal device 3.

  Furthermore, when the player card displayed on the main screen satisfies the predetermined condition (YES in S56), the game server 1 improves the ability of at least a part of the player card owned by the user (S57). .

  A specific example of steps S56 and S57 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The game server 1 determines whether three or more player cards owned by the user have been selected by the lottery process (S61). If YES in step S61, the game server 1 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied (S62), and the ability of the player card selected in the lottery (that is, the player card displayed on the main screen) is, for example, 1 Improve by 5 times. That is, the owned player card storage control unit 51 changes the ability value (attribute) of the target player card stored in the storage device 50.

  On the other hand, when the number of player cards selected by the lottery process is two or less (NO in S61), it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (S64), and the attribute change of the ability of the player card is not performed.

  The user can improve the ability of the player card owned by the user by playing the game in the enhanced mode during the game. However, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the user is further displayed on the game screen. If a player card satisfies a predetermined condition, the ability of the player card is improved. In other words, this configuration not only enhances the ability of independent player cards based on the user's intention, but also incorporates accidental ability enhancement based on player cards displayed in a lottery on the game screen into the game. The improvement of the nature is aimed at.

  For example, in a game in which users play against each other using characters strengthened by each user, conventionally, there is no accidental change in attributes, so that most of the wins and losses are determined by the ability of the character strengthened by each user. That is, in the past, it was difficult to win against a superior opponent, and as described above, it was a substantially fixed play style in which only the inferior opponents were selected to compete. On the other hand, in the configuration of the present embodiment, when a player card displayed by lottery on the main screen satisfies a predetermined condition, the attribute of the player card is changed to be advantageous in terms of the game. Therefore, if the player card displayed on the main screen is set as a team order and a battle is performed, the team strength of the user is increased, so that the possibility of winning against a higher opponent is higher than before. Therefore, in this case, it becomes easier to select a higher-ranking opponent as the opponent, and the user's play style variation is widened.

  The game according to the present embodiment is a reward that can be obtained when a user wins an opponent rather than a battle against a lower or peer opponent when the user battles with an upper (upper) opponent in the battle mode. It is desirable to have a game specification in which (such as points or items) increases. Here, the higher-level opponent is related to the strength in the match, such as an opponent whose game level is higher than that of the user, or an opponent whose strength (the strength in which the attribute is not changed by the attribute changing means 54) is higher than that of the user. A partner whose parameter is larger than that of the user. For example, if the in-game points (enhancement points, etc.) that can be obtained when winning against a lower or peer opponent are 1000 points, the in-game points that can be obtained when winning against an upper opponent (Strengthening points, etc.) is 2000 points. Further, as the strength of the opponent is stronger, the reward that can be acquired when the opponent is won may be increased.

  By adopting the game specifications as described above, when the player card displayed on the main screen satisfies a predetermined condition and is advantageous in terms of the game, the user actively tries to compete with a higher opponent. Will be motivated to do. Then, the user can consider strategies such as selecting a strong and weak opponent, and selecting a strong enemy to aim for a larger reward, thereby improving the game performance.

  As described above, the game management device according to the present embodiment is, as shown in FIG. 4, the owned player card storage control means 51 (owned information storage control means), the lottery means 52, the display control means 53, and the attribute change means 54. It is the structure equipped with. As a result, by incorporating incidental attribute changes based on selected objects displayed in the game screen by lottery into the game, the game is improved and a highly entertaining game in which the freedom of the user's play style is increased. realizable.

  By the way, it is possible to limit the duration of the effect (merit) of the attribute change based on the selection object displayed by lottery on the game screen. That is, the attribute changing means 54 is advantageous in terms of the game only for a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour) for attributes of at least some of the player cards owned by the user when the predetermined condition is satisfied. It is set as the structure changed so that it may become. An example of the operation of this configuration will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the player card displayed on the main screen satisfies the predetermined condition, the attribute changing unit 54 improves the ability of at least some of the player cards owned by the user (YES in S71) ) The game server 1 starts measuring the duration of the ability improvement state (S72). This timing process can be executed based on the internal clock of the CPU 11 of the game server 1 or the like.

  In addition, during the ability improvement state of the player card, the game server 1 uses the game screen (the countdown display information in units of 1 second) of the remaining time during which the ability improvement state is maintained to the game screen ( It is desirable to execute display control to be displayed on the main screen or the like. Thereafter, if one hour has elapsed (YES in S73), the game server 1 cancels the ability improvement state of the player card (S74).

  Thus, in this structure, the period when the attribute of a player card is changed so that it may become advantageous on a game is limited to a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour). Therefore, each user is given the motivation to actively play the game using the player card whose attribute has been changed during the period when the game is advantageous. Thereby, activation of the whole game can be aimed at.

  Next, when the player selected by the lottery means 52 includes more than the first reference number of player cards owned by the user, the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the attributes of the player cards are advantageous for the game. In the configuration to be changed, a configuration in which the probability that a player card owned by the user is displayed on the game screen as a selected object will be described as the number of logins of the user's associates increases.

  The game server 1 of this Embodiment manages the game in which users can build friendship. As one form for a user to establish a friendship relationship with another user, either one of the two users makes a friend application to the other user via the game server 1, and the friend application is made. The friend application made between both users and the operation of the approval that the received user approves becoming a friend via the game server 1 are mentioned. As another form, when a user who has already been registered in the game service invites an unregistered user to the game, and the user who has been invited registers in the game service, the user who has been invited is set to 2 There is also a form in which human users are friends.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the game server 1 includes fellow information storage control means 55 and login management means 56. Each of these means 55 and 56 is realized by the CPU 11 of the game server 1 executing the program according to the present embodiment.

  The fellow information storage control means 55 has a function of storing fellow information of each user in the storage device 50 (such as the database server 2). FIG. 18 shows an example of friend information stored in the database server 2 by the friend information storage control means 55. The companion information is information that associates two users with whom a companion relationship is established. As shown in the figure, when the fellowship relationship is established between two users, the fellow information storage control means 55 includes the user ID of the user who made the fellowship application and the user ID of the user who approved the fellowship application. Is stored in the database server 2. A fellow information ID for uniquely identifying these is added to each fellow information, and the game server 1 manages each user's fellows based on the fellow information ID.

  In the example of FIG. 18, the fellow information that associates two users, the user A with the user ID = “000001” who applied for the fellow and the user B with the user ID = “000002” who has approved it, is the fellow information ID. = Registered in the database server 2 as friend information of “1”. Thereby, for user A, user B is a friend who is in a friendship relationship, and for user B, user A is also a friend.

  In addition, each user can make a plurality of friends, and a friend group centered on each user can be formed. In the example of FIG. 18, the user A with the user ID = “000001” has also established a fellowship relationship with the users with the user ID = “000005”, “0000012”, and “000033”.

  Next, the login management unit 56 will be described. The login management unit 56 has a function of managing the login state of the terminal device 3 of each user. When a user who wants to receive the game service operates the terminal device 3 to access (log in) the game server 1, the login management unit 56 determines whether or not the user has a game participation qualification and performs login authentication. Do. As an example of this authentication, there is authentication based on the above-described login ID and password.

  In the game server 1 of the present embodiment, the session timeout time is set to 15 minutes. Therefore, the login management unit 56 automatically performs logout processing when 15 minutes have elapsed since the last access of the terminal device 3 that logged in. That is, the login management unit 56 determines that the terminal device 3 within 15 minutes from the last access of the terminal device 3 is in the login state. Note that this is an example, and for example, login management may be performed in which a login state is determined within 5 minutes from the last access of the terminal device 3 that has logged in.

  And the lottery means 52 of this Embodiment raises the lottery probability that the player card which a user owns is selected, so that the user with many number of the associate terminal devices 3 managed as the login state by the login management means 56 is high. To do. Note that the number of fellow terminal devices 3 managed as login states by the login management means 56 is referred to as “friend login number”. In FIG. 19, the example of the relationship information which shows the relationship between the lottery probability by which the player card which a user owns is selected, and the number of fellow logins is shown. This relation information is information that the game server 1 stores in the storage device 50 in advance.

  In the example of FIG. 19, each player card has 0, 1 to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 14, 15 to 19, and 20 or more friends. The lottery probability (probability that any of the player cards owned by the user is selected) is set to 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, and 85%. As a result, the probability that an item other than the player card owned by the user (such as the glove in FIG. 8) is selected by the lottery means 52 is 40%, 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, As the number of logins increases, it gradually decreases. Therefore, the game specification is such that the larger the number of terminal devices 3 that are logged in, the easier the predetermined condition is satisfied. The relationship between the player card lottery probability and the number of fellow logins is not limited to the example of FIG. 19 and can be set arbitrarily.

  An example of a lottery process for selecting a player card or the like to be displayed on the main screen by the game server 1 of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The game server 1 acquires the number of logins of the user's associates (S81), and determines the player card lottery probability according to the number of logins of the associates (S82). For example, based on the relationship information illustrated in FIG. 19, the player card lottery probability corresponding to the number of fellow logins is determined. And the game server 1 performs the lottery process which selects the player card etc. which are displayed on a main screen based on the lottery probability determined by step S82 (S83). In the present embodiment, since a maximum of five player cards are displayed on the main screen, the process ends after the lottery process in step S83 is executed five times (YES in S84).

  As described above, the game management apparatus of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, possessed player card storage control means 51, lottery means 52, display control means 53, attribute change means 54, fellow information storage control means 55. And login management means 56. And the lottery means 52 is a structure which makes the lottery probability by which the player card which a user owns is selected becomes higher so that a user with many associate login numbers. With this configuration, as the number of friends increases, the number of logins of the friends increases, and a predetermined condition (the player card owned by the user among the selected items selected by the lottery means 52 is equal to or greater than the first reference number). Therefore, each user is motivated to actively make many friends.

  In order to increase the number of logins of friends, for example, each user is expected to communicate with the friends by sending a message such as “Let's play a game together today's lunch break!”. As a result, a game environment in which communication can be actively carried out between friends can be promoted, and the entire game community can be activated.

  Next, if the selected item displayed on the main screen satisfies a predetermined condition that the player card registered by the user as a team order includes the second reference number or more, the player card A configuration for changing the attributes so as to be advantageous in the game will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the game server 1 having this configuration includes registration means 57. This registration means 57, according to the information regarding the operation for registering a predetermined number of player cards owned by the user as an order player card (in-game use that affects the game result) of his team, It has a function to register an order player card.

  When the user registers an order player card, if an “order” button 113 on the main screen in FIG. 5 is pressed, the screen changes to an order registration screen (not shown). In this order registration screen, an arbitrary player card can be selected from the player cards owned by the user and registered as a user's team order. Note that an “automatic order registration” button is provided on the order registration screen. By pressing this button, the game server 1 sets an appropriate team order and automatically registers the order player card. In this way, the user can manually register the order player card by operating his / her terminal device 3 or can automatically register the order player card.

  FIG. 22 shows an example of team order registration information (in this example, information for one user ID = “000001”) that the registration means 57 stores and manages in the storage device 50. The registration means 57 stores the registration information of each user's order player card in a predetermined area of the storage device 50 in association with the user ID.

The predetermined condition of the present embodiment is that the selected player displayed on the main screen includes an order player card (used in game) of the second reference number or more. The second reference number may be set to any one of “1” to “5”, but in the present embodiment, an example in which the second reference number is set to “1” will be described. That is, if at least one player card is displayed in the five selected object display areas 101 to 105 on the main screen, the predetermined condition is satisfied.
The second reference number is naturally 1 or more and 5 or less.

  Then, the attribute changing unit 54 changes the attribute of the order player card included in the selected object displayed on the main screen so as to be advantageous in the game when the predetermined condition is satisfied (improves ability) )

  Here, a specific example of steps S56 and S57 of FIG. 14 to which this configuration is applied will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The game server 1 determines whether or not one or more order player cards registered as a team order by the user are selected by the lottery process of the lottery means 52 (S91). If YES in step S91, the game server 1 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied (S92), and the ability of the order player card selected in the lottery (that is, the order player card displayed on the main screen) is determined. For example, it is improved 1.5 times. That is, the owned player card storage control unit 51 changes the ability value (attribute) of the target player card stored in the storage device 50.

  On the other hand, when no order player card is selected by the lottery process (NO in S91), it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (S94), and the attribute change of the ability of the player card is not performed.

  As described above, as shown in FIG. 21, the game management apparatus according to the present embodiment includes the owned player card storage control means 51, the lottery means 52, the display control means 53, the attribute change means 54, and the registration means 57. Yes. When the selected condition satisfies the predetermined condition that the order player card includes the second reference number or more, the attribute changing means 54 advantageously determines the attribute of the order player card included in the selected object. It is the structure which changes so that it may become. With this configuration, when the order player card registered in advance by the user is displayed on the game screen for the second reference number or more, game play using the order player card (in this embodiment, other users' If you play against a team), you can realize a new and interesting game that you can advance the game advantageously.

  In addition, according to this configuration, by reducing the number of player cards owned by the user that are not registered as order player cards (reserved player cards) (for example, sold in the game), The probability that the order player card is selected can be intentionally increased. In addition, as a method of reducing the player cards other than the ordered player cards, there are, for example, a method of selling in a game and converting it into in-game points, or a method of using it as a reinforcing material in the strengthening mode. Or you may give it away by giving a reserve player card to a friend.

  Therefore, before the match is done, sell the player cards to keep them low, etc. (increase the proportion of the order player cards in the player cards owned by the user), and then display the main screen The selected item on the main screen is confirmed, and if the selected player contains an order player card, a strategy of performing a battle can be taken. With this configuration, the game performance is greatly improved.

  Further, this configuration can be applied in combination with each configuration of the above-described embodiment. For example, the structure which limits the continuation period of the capability improvement state of an order player card to a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour) is applicable. Moreover, when the player card possessed by the user is included in the selected object more than the first reference number (for example, 3), the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the ability of the player card displayed on the main screen is, for example, You may apply combining the structure improved 1.5 times, and this structure. In this case, for example, the ability of the reserved player card displayed on the main screen may be multiplied by 1.5, and the ability of the order player card displayed on the main screen may be multiplied by (1.5 × 1.5). it can.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where a predetermined condition is that a player card having a predetermined value or more is included in the selection object displayed on the main screen by a third reference number or more.

  In the player card according to the present embodiment, a rarity level indicating a high rare value is set as a value attribute. For example, the rarity ranges from a minimum of “1” (one star displayed on the player card) to a maximum of “5” (5 star displayed on the player card). And in this structure, it is set as a predetermined condition that the thing more than a predetermined value (for example, rare degree 3 or more) contains more than a 3rd reference number in a selection object. The third reference number may be set to any one of “1” to “5”, but in the present embodiment, an example in which the third reference number is set to “3” will be described.

  The attribute changing means changes the attributes of at least some of the player cards of the plurality of player cards owned by the user so as to be advantageous in the game when the predetermined condition is satisfied (improves ability) ). For example, the ability of a player card with a rarity level of 3 or higher included in the selected object is changed to 1.5 times. Alternatively, the ability of all player cards included in the selection object is changed to 1.5 times. Or, the ability of all the order player cards of the user's team is changed to 1.2 times.

  Here, a specific example of steps S56 and S57 of FIG. 14 to which this configuration is applied will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The game server 1 determines whether or not three or more player cards with a rarity degree of 3 or more are included in the selected objects selected by the lottery process of the lottery means 52 (S101). If YES in step S101, the game server 1 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied (S102), and improves the ability of all the order player cards of the user's team by 1.2 times. That is, the owned player card storage control unit 51 changes the ability value (attribute) of the target player card stored in the storage device 50.

  On the other hand, when three or more player cards with a rarity level of 3 or more are not included in the selected object (NO in S101), it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (S104), and the ability attribute of the player card is determined. No change is made.

  In addition to the rareness indicating the scarce value, the value attribute includes a capability level and a capability rank indicating the high use value. The ability value of the player card is also included in the value attribute. Thus, for example, among the selected objects displayed on the main screen, there are player cards having a predetermined ability value or more (for example, the sum of ability values of “blow”, “running ability”, and “defense” is 600 or more). It may be a predetermined condition that the number is more than the third reference number.

  According to this configuration, when a player card having a predetermined value or more is displayed on the game screen for the third reference number or more, if the game play is performed using the player card whose attribute is advantageously changed in the game, the game is played. It is possible to realize an interesting game that can be advantageously advanced. Further, this configuration can be applied in combination with each configuration of the above-described embodiment. For example, the structure which limits the continuation period of the capability improvement state of a player card to a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour) is applicable. In addition, a configuration that satisfies a predetermined condition when a player has a player card possessed by the user in the selected object at a first reference number (for example, three or more), and / or an ordered player card in the selected object May be applied in combination with a configuration that satisfies the predetermined condition when the number is included in the second reference number (for example, one) or more. In addition, what is necessary is just to be made to improve the capability of a player card | curd collectively, when several predetermined conditions are satisfied.

  Next, when a predetermined number (five in this embodiment) of player cards displayed on the main screen is arranged in a predetermined manner, a certain shape or pattern (for example, the shape of a baseball bat) is completed. A configuration that satisfies the predetermined condition will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the game server 1 of the present embodiment includes a pattern information storage control unit 58 and an association unit 59. The pattern information storage control means 58 arranges n pieces (five in the present embodiment) of the pattern pieces in a predetermined order so that the pattern information that becomes a completed pattern of a predetermined shape or pattern is stored in the storage device 50 in advance. It has a function to memorize. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, the pattern information storage control means 58 arranges the five pattern pieces P1 to P5 in this order, thereby storing the pattern information that becomes the completed pattern of the bat in the storage device 50. I remember it.

  The association means 59 has a function of associating a player card owned by the user with any of the five picture pieces P1 to P5. An example of this association process is shown below. Here, a description will be given assuming that there are 26 player cards A to Z owned by the user. As shown in FIG. 26, the association means 59 associates the player cards A, F, K, P, U, and Z with the picture piece P1. Further, the player cards B, G, L, Q, and V are associated with the pattern piece P2. Further, the player cards C, H, M, R, and W are associated with the pattern piece P3. Further, the player cards D, I, N, S, and X are associated with the pattern piece P4. Further, the player cards E, J, O, T, and Y are associated with the pattern piece P5.

  Thus, all the player cards owned by the user are classified into five blocks, and the player cards classified into the five blocks are respectively associated with the five picture pieces P1 to P5.

  Note that the association in FIG. 26 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the player card A to E is a picture piece P1, the player card F to J is a picture piece P2, the player card K to O is a picture piece P3, the player card P to T is a picture piece P4, and the player card U to Z is a picture piece. Each may be associated with P5.

  In addition, here, for convenience of explanation, the player cards are represented as A to Z, but actually, the association unit 59 performs association with the pattern pieces P1 to P5 using the player card ID, and the associated information. Is stored in the storage device 50.

  And the display control means 53 of this Embodiment performs the display control which displays the pattern piece matched with it with the player card which the lottery means 52 selected as a to-be-selected thing. For example, as shown in FIG. 27, the player card and the picture piece may be α-blended and superimposed. The screen display format is not limited to the superimposed display, and for example, the player card and the picture piece may be displayed side by side so as not to overlap, or the picture piece may be displayed on the background of the player card.

  The predetermined condition of the present embodiment is that the player card selected by the lottery means 52 as the selected object is displayed on the selected object in a state where the player cards are displayed side by side in the five selected object display areas 101 to 105 in the main screen. The completed pattern (the shape of the two bats shown in FIG. 26) is formed by the associated pattern pieces. In addition, in the main screen illustrated in FIG. 27, since the arrangement order of the pattern pieces associated with the player card is not correct, the bat shape of the completed pattern is collapsed and does not satisfy the predetermined condition. On the other hand, in the main screen illustrated in FIG. 28, the pattern pieces associated with the player card are arranged in a predetermined order correctly to form a bat shape of the completed pattern, which satisfies the predetermined condition. When the bat-shaped pattern is completed as shown in FIG. 28, the completed pattern may be highlighted (for example, displayed in front of the player card).

  Then, when the predetermined condition is satisfied by displaying the completed picture on the main screen, the attribute changing unit 54 determines the attribute of at least some of the player cards owned by the user in terms of the game. To improve (improves ability). For example, the ability of the player card displayed on the main screen is changed to 1.5 times. Or, the ability of all the order player cards of the user's team is changed to 1.2 times.

  Here, an operation example of the game server 1 to which this configuration is applied will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. When the user performs an operation to display the main screen by operating the terminal device 3 (YES in S111), the game server 1 executes an association process between a player card owned by the user and a picture piece ( S112). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 26, each player card possessed by the user is associated with one of the pattern pieces P1 to P5. Thereafter, the game server 1 executes a lottery process for player cards owned by the user (S52).

  In the lottery process in step S52, five player cards may always be selected and items other than the player cards may not be selected. Alternatively, as described above, not only the player card but also items such as a glove, a ball, and spike shoes other than the player card may be selected with a predetermined probability.

  In the present embodiment, five selected object display areas 101 to 105 are provided on the main screen, and a maximum of five player cards are displayed. Therefore, the lottery process in step S113 is executed five times. After the lottery process is executed five times (YES in S114), the game server 1 displays the selected objects in the order in which the player cards selected in the lottery and the picture pieces associated therewith are selected in the lottery. Main screen data arranged in the areas 101 to 105 is created (S115). Then, the game server 1 transmits the created main screen data to the user terminal device 3 (S116). Thereby, the main screen illustrated in FIG. 27 or 28 is displayed on the screen of the terminal device 3.

  Furthermore, when the game server 1 satisfies the predetermined condition by displaying the completed pattern shown in FIG. 28 on the main screen (YES in S117), the game server 1 at least part of the player cards owned by the user Is improved (S118). For example, the ability of all the order player cards of the user's team is changed to 1.2 times.

  As described above, the game management apparatus of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, possessed player card storage control means 51, lottery means 52, display control means 53, attribute change means 54, picture information storage control means 58. The display control means 53 executes display control for displaying the selected pieces together with the picture pieces associated therewith on the game screen. Then, in a state in which the selected object is displayed side by side on the game screen, a predetermined condition is satisfied by forming a completed pattern with a pattern piece associated with the selected object. In this configuration, since the predetermined condition is satisfied by displaying the completed picture on the game screen, it is possible to easily notify the user that the condition has been satisfied by the completed picture. Then, when the completed picture is displayed on the game screen, it is possible to realize an interesting game in which the game can be advantageously advanced by playing the game using the player card whose attribute has been changed.

  Further, this configuration can be applied in combination with each configuration of the above-described embodiment. For example, the structure which limits the continuation period of the capability improvement state of a player card to a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour) is applicable. In addition, a configuration that satisfies a predetermined condition when a player card possessed by the user is included in the selected object is greater than or equal to the first reference number, and an order player card is included in the selected object that is greater than or equal to the second reference number. This configuration is configured to satisfy a predetermined condition when the player satisfies a predetermined condition and / or to satisfy a predetermined condition when a player card having a predetermined value or more is included in the selected object in a number equal to or greater than a third reference number. You may apply in combination. In addition, what is necessary is just to be made to improve the capability of a player card | curd collectively, when several predetermined conditions are satisfied.

  Next, after the lottery process for the player card to be displayed on the main screen is executed, in principle, the re-lottery will not be performed until the predetermined period has passed, but only if the predetermined re-lottery conditions are met, A configuration for performing the above will be described.

  Once the player card lottery process is executed once, in principle, at least a predetermined period (for example, one hour) is left before the process is executed again. For example, it is assumed that a lottery process is executed when the user logs in to the game and displays the main screen, and five (or less than five) player cards are displayed on the main screen. In this case, the display of the player card displayed on the main screen does not change until one hour has passed since the re-lottery is not executed in principle. Therefore, when the player card displayed on the main screen does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the advantage that the ability of the player card is improved cannot be enjoyed until one hour has passed.

  In addition, when the frequency of the lottery process is once a day in principle, when the lottery process is executed on a certain day, the lottery process is not executed again unless the next day is reached. In this case, the “predetermined period” required until receiving the next lottery process is until the next day. Therefore, the “predetermined period” that is a waiting period until the next lottery process is received is not necessarily a fixed predetermined period such as one hour.

  However, only when a predetermined re-lottery condition is satisfied, even if the predetermined period has not elapsed since the previous lottery process, the player card lottery process is executed, and the selected object display areas 101 to 105 of the main screen are displayed. The display switches. That is, the lottery means 52 of the present embodiment basically does not execute the lottery process again until a predetermined period (1 hour in the present embodiment) elapses after the lottery process is executed. Only when the re-lottery condition is satisfied, the lottery process is executed again even before the predetermined period elapses.

  Here, as an example of the re-drawing condition, there is a condition that a predetermined amount of in-game points or in-game currency owned by the user is consumed. For example, one lottery process is executed by consuming 200 points of exchange points obtained by the user interacting with friends in the game.

  FIG. 30 shows an example of a game screen that can be redrawn by consuming predetermined exchange points. When a lottery process is executed and a player card or the like is displayed in the selected object display areas 101 to 105 on the main screen, the remaining time information 121 necessary for receiving the next lottery is displayed on the main screen 121 (FIG. 30). In the example, “information of 55:35 until next lottery” is displayed. This remaining time information 121 is displayed, for example, countdown every second, and the display in the selection object display areas 101 to 105 is updated no matter how many times the main screen is displayed until “00:00”. Not. In addition, a command button called “re-lottery” button 122 is also displayed on the main screen. If the user performs an operation of pressing the “re-lottery” button 122, 200 AC points for receiving the re-lottery are consumed, and the re-lottery condition is satisfied. Thereby, even before the remaining time information 121 becomes “00:00”, the lottery process by the lottery means 52 is executed immediately.

  In addition, as another example of the re-lottery condition, there is a condition that a right item (re-lottery ticket or the like) owned by the user that can be re-drawn is used. The user can obtain a re-lottery ticket by, for example, clearing a stage in the game. Alternatively, a re-lottery ticket may be obtained by exchanging with in-game currency. For example, one lottery process is executed by using one re-lottery ticket. These are only examples, and arbitrary redrawing conditions can be defined.

  Furthermore, conditions such as clearing a predetermined stage in the game or winning a battle may be used as the re-drawing condition. These are only examples, and any condition can be used as the redrawing condition depending on the type and content of the game.

  Here, an operation example of the game server 1 to which the present configuration is applied will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. When the lottery means 52 executes the lottery process in response to the user performing an operation to display the main screen (YES in S121), the game server 1 sets the game status of the user to the lottery prohibited state. (S122). If the predetermined condition is satisfied by this lottery process, the ability of at least some of the player cards is improved as described above, but the description thereof is omitted here.

  In the lottery prohibition state, even if the user displays the main screen, the player card lottery process is not executed, so the player card display on the main screen is not changed. This lottery prohibition state is canceled when one hour has passed since the previous lottery process (YES in S123) or when the re-lottery condition is satisfied (YES in S124) (S125).

  When the main screen is displayed after the lottery prohibition state is cancelled, the lottery means 52 executes the lottery process. For example, when the “re-lottery” button 122 on the main screen shown in FIG. 30 is pressed and 200 AC points are consumed and the re-lottery condition is satisfied, the lottery prohibition state is canceled and the lottery process is executed immediately thereafter. Is done. Then, the main screen reflecting the result of the lottery process is displayed.

  Even if the result of the lottery process does not satisfy the predetermined condition and the player card attribute cannot be advantageously changed as a result of the lottery process, if the re-lottery condition is satisfied, the predetermined period has elapsed. Since it becomes possible to receive a re-lottery without waiting, it is possible to give the user an opportunity to enjoy the benefits early. Further, this configuration can be applied in combination with each configuration of the above-described embodiment.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, various “predetermined conditions regarding the selection target” have been described. However, these are merely examples, and other conditions can be applied. For example, the predetermined condition may be that a player's favorite team player card is included in the selection object by a fourth reference number or more.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the player card is exemplified as an example of “variable attribute that can change the attribute during the game”, but the present invention is not limited to this, and there are various types according to the type and content of the game. Characters and items can be variable attributes. For example, items such as weapons and armor having attributes such as attack power and defense power (for example, special bats and gloves for baseball games, weapons and armor for battle games), and items are virtually used in the game. Items whose attributes can be changed by maintaining or maintaining them correspond to variable attributes.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the selection object selected by the lottery means 52 is displayed on the main screen (My Page) is not limited to this. Display control for displaying a selection may be performed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the attribute of the player card as the attribute variable is changed so as to be advantageous in the game when a predetermined condition related to the selected object displayed on the game screen is satisfied will be described. However, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the attribute variable attribute may be changed so as to be disadvantageous in the game. For example, when a completed pattern (completed pattern that is disadvantageous in the game) is displayed by a pattern piece associated with the player card as the selection object, the attribute of the ability of the player card displayed on the game screen is reduced. Therefore, it may be disadvantageous in the game.

  In addition, in a configuration in which a predetermined condition is that a pattern piece associated with an object to be selected becomes a completed pattern, some of the plurality of pattern pieces may be almighty pattern pieces. And about an almighty pattern piece, even if it arrange | positions in any arrangement order of the to-be-selected object display areas 101-105 in a game screen, it shall comprise a part of completed pattern. Thereby, it can be set as the structure in which a complete pattern is easy to arrange.

  By the way, regarding a configuration having a storage control function for storing various kinds of information in the storage device (owned player card storage control means 51, fellow information storage control means 55, picture information storage control means 58, etc.), the storage device itself has the same configuration. Since it is not included, it may be installed anywhere regardless of the inside or outside of the game management device (or game system). For example, the storage device may include the RAM 13 and auxiliary storage device 14 of the game server 1, the database server 2, the RAM 33 and auxiliary storage device 39 of the terminal device 3, or a file server having a different configuration from the game management device and the terminal device 3. It may be.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the game execution program is mounted on the game server 1 side, and the game server 1 performs arithmetic processing and data processing for the game progress according to the input operation in the terminal device 3 of each user. The application example to the game system in which the game progresses by transmitting the screen data reflecting the execution result to the terminal device 3 has been described. This is a so-called client-server game system, but is not limited to this. For example, while the game server 1 manages game information related to the player cards owned by the user, the game execution process for advancing the game is basically applied to a game system performed on the user's terminal device side. it can.

  In other words, the present invention can also be applied to a game system in which a part or all of the game execution program is downloaded or installed on the user terminal device side and the game execution process is also performed on the terminal device. For example, a user terminal device peers with another user terminal device by Internet communication, wireless LAN communication, short-range wireless communication using a predetermined frequency band (for example, 2.4 GHz frequency band), or wired LAN communication. It is also possible to execute a peer-to-peer game by connecting two to peers.

  Therefore, as a user terminal device, various devices that can be connected to a game server (game management device) and receive a game service can be applied. The above-described mobile phone terminal, smart phone, PHS terminal, mobile information terminal In addition to (PDA), personal computers, and tablet computers, home video game devices having a network connection function (game devices configured by connecting home video game machines to home televisions), A portable game-dedicated device is also applicable.

  That is, in a game system including a game management device and a terminal device, each means included in the game management device described in each of the above embodiments may be provided in either the game management device or the terminal device. .

  Moreover, although the above-mentioned embodiment demonstrated the example which comprised the game management apparatus by the game server 1 and the database server 2 which can communicate with each user's terminal device, it is not limited to this. That is, the game management device is a user game composed of a home video game device, a portable game dedicated device, a mobile phone terminal, a PHS terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smartphone, a personal computer, a tablet computer, or the like. It can be applied to the device and manage the game. Thus, even if this game management device is applied to a game device that operates in a stand-alone manner, the same effects as when applied to the above-described game server 1 can be obtained. That is, each means of the game management device when the game management device is applied to the game server 1 executes processing while communicating between the game server 1 and the terminal device 3, whereas the game management device is used as a game. Although each means of the game management device when applied to the device performs a process according to the user's operation on the game device, the other functions and configurations are the same, and both have the same effect Play.
