[3. Game executed in game system]
Next, a game executed in the game system 1 will be described. In the game system 1, each game of a plurality of users proceeds according to the game play of the user. In the present embodiment, a game in which each user's operation target character accepts a game task at a base in the virtual world will be described as an example.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit 15. As shown in FIG. 3, an image showing the state of the virtual world is displayed on the game screen 20. Here, the user's operation target character 22 is visiting a base in the virtual world, and a task list 24 of game tasks to be achieved by the user is displayed.

  Here, as the game tasks displayed in the task list 24, there are a game task that a user should achieve alone and a game task that a plurality of users should achieve in cooperation. When the user selects a game task to be achieved alone, the selected game task is set for the user. The user operates the character 22 and aims to achieve the set game task alone.

  On the other hand, for example, when the user A selects a game task to be achieved by a plurality of users in cooperation, the game device 10A and the game devices 10B and 10C are connected to each other. And if each game device 10 is connected by communication, the game which the user A-user C aims at achieving a game task in cooperation will be started. For example, when the user selects a game task of “defeating an enemy character”, it aims to defeat the enemy character in cooperation with other users.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a plurality of users aim to complete a game task in cooperation. As shown in FIG. 4, for example, characters 22 operated by each user are arranged in the virtual world, and these characters 22 are displayed on the game screen 20. Here, it is assumed that the characters 22 operated by the users A to C are characters 22A to 22C, respectively. The users A to C aim to defeat the enemy character 26 by operating the characters 22A to 22C, respectively.

  Here, the consistency of data relating to the game being executed by the game device 10 serving as a server and the game device 10 serving as a client is ensured. A similar game screen 20 is displayed. However, the viewpoint set in the virtual space is set based on the position of the character 22 operated by each user, and the character 22 operated by each user is always displayed on the game screen 20. It has become.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen when each user has achieved a game task. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, after each user cooperates and defeats the enemy character 26, when any of the characters 22 speaks to the predetermined character 28 in the virtual space, the message 30 indicates that the game task has been achieved. Is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the message 30, a given privilege (hereinafter referred to as a takeover privilege) is given to a user who has taken over saved data of another game when starting the game. It has become. For example, a takeover privilege is not given to a user who starts a game without taking over save data of another game. Here, the game item, the game card, the game character, and the in-game currency (for example, points) correspond to the takeover privilege given to the user.

  Here, a flow of processing for starting the game by taking over the save data will be described. FIG. 6 is an example of the game screen 20 displayed when the user starts the game. When the user starts a game, a game screen 20 is displayed for the user to select whether or not to start the game data. Here, three methods will be described as methods for starting the game.

  First, there is a method in which a user who starts a game starts without taking over saved data of another game. When the user selects the new start button 32, the game is started from scratch without taking over the save data of other games. That is, in this case, the user starts the game from the initial setting (initial state).

  Second, there is a method in which a user who has played a first game (hereinafter referred to as a trial version game) whose progress is limited to a certain degree of progress takes over the saved data of the game and starts the game. is there. The trial version game is restricted so that the user cannot advance the game beyond a certain progress (that is, restricted so that it can proceed only to a certain progress), for example, It is a game distributed free of charge to users who have not purchased the game. When the user selects the trial version takeover button 34, the game can be started by taking over the save data of the trial version game. That is, in this case, the user starts the game from the continuation of the trial version game.

  Third, there is a method in which a user who has played a second game related to a game started by the user (hereinafter referred to as a previous game) takes over the saved data of the game and starts the game. The previous game is a game including a story corresponding to the story of the game started by the user. For example, the title game related to the game started by the user or the game started before the game started by the user It is a game. When the user selects the previous game takeover button 36, the game can be started by taking over the save data of the trial version game. That is, in this case, the user starts the game from the continuation of the previous game.

  When the user takes over the save data of the trial version game or the previous game, for example, in the trial version game or the previous game, the character 22 used by the user or the game item held by the user is newly added. Will be used in succession to other games. In other words, the user can start the game while taking over the progress in the trial version game or the previous game by starting the game by taking over the save data. Hereinafter, in order to distinguish each game, the game started by the user is referred to as the latest game.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of users cooperate to achieve the game task of the latest game, the takeover benefit is based on whether the latest game is started by taking over the save data of the trial version game or the previous game. It is the structure which gives. Hereinafter, the present technology will be described in detail.

[4. Functions realized in the game system]
FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the game system 1 implements a game data storage unit 50, a game execution unit 52, a takeover determination unit 54, an attribute acquisition unit 56, and a privilege granting unit 58 by executing a game program. Here, a case where the game apparatus 10 serving as a server realizes these functions will be described as an example. The game data storage unit 50 is realized mainly by the storage unit 12 and the optical disk, and other functions are realized mainly by the control unit 11.

[4-1. Game data storage unit]
The game data storage unit 50 stores various data necessary for realizing the game. Here, as an example of data stored in the game data storage unit 50, user save data and game status data indicating the status of the game being executed will be described.

[Save data]
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a data storage example of save data. The save data indicates the progress of the game played by each user, and is stored in the game device 10 of each user. As shown in FIG. 8, the save data includes various items related to the progress of the game. For example, information for identifying the user, current parameters regarding the character 22 operated by the user (for example, the ability value, role, And skills, etc.), data indicating game items or in-game currency possessed by the user, data indicating the current position of the user's operation target, data indicating the privilege granted to the user, and data indicating the game task achieved by the user Etc. are stored.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since the user can play the latest game, the trial game, and the previous game, when the user has played the trial game, the trial game Is stored in the game data storage unit 50, and when the user has played the previous game, the save data of the previous game is stored in the game data storage unit 50.

  It is assumed that the data format of the save data of the latest game, the save data of the trial game, and the save data of the previous game is common. That is, the items included in each save data correspond to each other and are compatible.

  In the present embodiment, the save data of the latest game includes a takeover flag which is information for identifying whether or not the user has taken over the save data of the trial version game or the previous game. For example, the value of the takeover flag being “0” indicates that the user has started the latest game without taking over the save data of the trial version game or the previous game. That the value of the takeover flag is “1” indicates that the user has taken over the save data of the trial version game and started the latest game. That the value of the takeover flag is “2” indicates that the user has taken over the save data of the previous game and started the game. The value of the takeover flag is determined at the start of the latest game.

[Game status data]
The game situation data is generated based on the user's save data, and is updated according to the user's game play. The game situation data includes, for example, data indicating the current state of the virtual world (for example, data indicating the position of the character 22 placed in the virtual world, the position of the viewpoint, the line-of-sight direction, etc.), and the current state of the character 22 operated by the user. (For example, the position of the character 22 and the current parameter) are stored.

  For example, when a plurality of users participate in the latest game, information regarding the users participating in the game is stored in the game situation data. Information relating to the user includes information for identifying each user (for example, a game machine serial number and a user ID for uniquely identifying the user), and information regarding the character 22 operated by each user (for example, an image of the character 22). Data, parameters, etc.) and data indicating game items owned by each user are stored.

  The control unit 11 functions as a means for acquiring various data stored in the game data storage unit 50. Further, the control unit 11 functions as means for changing (updating) various data stored in the game data storage unit 50. Further, the data stored in the game data storage unit 50 is not limited to the above-described example, and it is sufficient that data necessary for the game apparatus 10 to execute the game is stored. Data (for example, user IDs, names, images, and the like of each user) and various data related to game tasks (for example, occurrence conditions and achievement conditions of each game task) are stored.

[4-2. Game execution part]
The game execution unit 52 executes the user's game based on the user's game data (for example, save data).

  Here, the user's game is a game that each user plays alone, for example, a game that is executed using only the save data of each user without using the save data of other users. In other words, each user's game is not a game in which a plurality of users participate (a so-called multi-play game, that is, a game that a plurality of users advance or a game in which a plurality of users cooperate or compete). It can also be said to be a game in which each user participates alone (a so-called single-play game, that is, a game that each user advances alone).

  Further, the “game data” here is data relating to each user's game (data relating to the progress of each user's game), for example, at least one of save data, character data, item data, and card data. including.

  In this embodiment, in addition to each user's game described above, the game execution unit 52 executes a game based on one user's game data (for example, save data) and another user's game data. For example, the game execution unit 52 executes a game in which one user and another user participate (that is, a game that a plurality of users play together). The game execution unit 52 advances one game based on the save data of one user and the save data of another user.

[4-3. Inheritance determination unit]
When each user's game is started, the takeover determining unit 54 determines whether or not to take over game data of another game that the user has played in the past (for example, trial version game or previous game save data). To do. “Taking over the game data of another game” means executing (starting) the game based on the game data of the other game. In the present embodiment, the takeover determination unit 54 determines whether the trial version game or the previous time is based on a user operation (that is, which of the new start button 32, the trial version takeover button 34, and the previous work takeover button 36 has been selected). Decide whether or not to save the game save data.

  When it is determined to take over the save data of the trial version game or the previous game, the game execution unit 52 starts the game based on the save data. For example, the game execution unit 52 generates game status data and save data of the latest game based on the save data of the trial version game or the previous game. That is, the game execution unit 52 starts the latest game from the continuation of the trial game or the previous game in a state where the progress of the trial game or the previous game is reflected in the latest game.

[4-4. Attribute acquisition unit]
The attribute acquisition unit 56 acquires an attribute of one user and an attribute of another user. The attribute is information indicating the property (characteristic) of each user, and at least one of a plurality of types of attributes is given to the user. Here, the attribute indicates whether the user has started the game by taking over the game data. Information indicating the user's attribute is stored in the game data storage unit 50. Here, the attribute acquisition unit 56 acquires the takeover flag included in the save data of each user.

[4-5. Bonus Grant Department]
When the game execution unit 52 executes a game (for example, a game in which one user and another user participate), the privilege granting unit 58 has one user attribute (for example, one user takes over the game data). On the basis of the combination of the attributes of other users and the attributes of other users (for example, whether other users started the game by taking over the game data) A privilege is given to at least one of the above.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the association between attributes and benefits. The privilege grant unit 58 grants a privilege to each user based on the privilege associated with the attribute of each user. That is, the privilege granting unit 58 determines a user who gives a privilege among these users based on a combination of the attribute of one user and the attribute of another user, or among these types of benefits The type of privilege granted to the user is determined.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the privilege provision part 58 provides a privilege to the user who took over game data and started the game among one user and another user. That is, the privilege provision part 58 does not provide a privilege to the user who started the game, without taking over game data, among one user and another user.

[5. Processing executed in game system]
Next, processing executed in the game system will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing processing executed by the game system 1. Here, a process executed by the game apparatus 10 serving as a server will be described. The control unit 11 of the game apparatus 10 serving as a server executes the process shown in FIG. 10 according to a program stored on the optical disc. Here, in the task list 24 on the game screen 20, when a game task with which a plurality of users cooperate is selected, the process shown in FIG. 10 is executed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 11 determines whether there is another user who participates in the game (S1). In S1, the control part 11 communicates with the other game device 10 via the communication part 14, and determines whether the other user is performing the predetermined operation for participating in a game. For example, the control unit 11 determines whether another user has selected the same game task from the task list 24 of the game screen 20.

  When it is determined that there is no other user participating in the game (S1; N), the control unit 11 displays a given error message (S2), and the process ends. In this case, since the communication with the other game device 10 is not normally performed or the other user is not in the first place, the user plays the game task achieved in cooperation with the other user. I can't.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that there is another user participating in the game (S1; Y), the control unit 11 acquires data regarding the other user (S3). In S <b> 3, for example, the control unit 11 communicates with the game device 10 of another user via the communication unit 14, acquires save data of another user, or other users stored in the save data. The data regarding the character 22 is acquired.

  The control unit 11 starts a game in which a plurality of users participate based on the data acquired in S3 (S4). In S4, for example, the control unit 11 adds data related to the character 22 operated by the user of the other user device 10 to the game situation data, and starts the game task selected by the user.

  The control part 11 acquires the operation content of the user who operates the game device 10 based on the detection signal of the operation part 17 (S5). The control part 11 acquires the operation content of another user via the communication part 14 (S6). In S6, the control part 11 will acquire the operation content of the said other user based on the detection signal of the operation part 17 of the game device 10 of another user.

  The control unit 11 updates and distributes the game situation data based on the operation content acquired in S5 and S6 (S7). In S <b> 7, the control unit 11 moves the character 22 of each user based on the operation content of each user. The latest game situation data is appropriately distributed to the game devices 10 of other users, and the game situation data is consistent between the game devices 10 of the respective users. Then, display control of the game screen 20 is executed based on the game situation data updated and distributed in S7.

  The control unit 11 determines whether any character 22 of the plurality of users has spoken to the predetermined character 28 (S8). In S8, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the user has performed a predetermined operation in a state where the character 22 of the user and the predetermined character 28 are within a predetermined distance.

  When it is determined that the character 22 has spoken to the predetermined character 28 (S8; Y), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the game task has been achieved (S9). In S9, the control part 11 determines whether the achievement conditions of a game task are satisfy | filled based on game situation data. For example, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the character 22 has defeated a given enemy character 26.

  When it is determined that the game task has been achieved (S9; Y), the control unit 11 acquires a takeover flag for each user participating in the game (S10). Based on the combination of each user's takeover flag acquired in S10, the control unit 11 determines each user's takeover privilege (S11), and the process ends. In S11, for example, the control unit 11 gives a takeover benefit to a user whose takeover flag indicates a predetermined value (for example, “1” or “2”) among the users who participate in the game.

  When it is determined that the character 22 is not speaking to the predetermined character 28 (S8; N), and when it is determined that the game task has not been achieved (S9; N), the process returns to S5, and the game Will proceed. In addition, when a given end operation is performed by the user during the execution of the process illustrated in FIG. 10, the process illustrated in FIG. 10 may be terminated.

  According to the game system 1 described above, since the privilege to be given to the user is determined based on the combination of the attributes of the user, diversity can be given to the privilege to be given to the user. Motivation for playing a game using game data can be given to the user.

  Furthermore, for example, by preparing a privilege that is not granted unless the trial version game is played, motivation for playing the latest game after playing the trial version game can be given to the user. Furthermore, by preparing a privilege that is not granted unless the previous game is played, the user can be motivated to play the latest game as well as the previous game.

[6. Modified example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Modifications can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  FIG. 11 is a functional block diagram in the modified example. In the modification described below, in addition to the functions described in the embodiment, a start-time privilege grant unit 60, a grant determination unit 62, and a type acquisition unit 64 are realized. Each of these functions is implemented mainly by the control unit 11 serving as a server, for example.

  (1) For example, in the embodiment, the case where a privilege is granted to a user who has inherited the save data has been described. However, a privilege that is granted to each user according to the combination of game types from which the save data is inherited May be different. That is, the privilege to be given may differ depending on the combination of whether the user has taken over the save data of the trial version game or the save data of the previous game.

  In this modification, the attribute indicates the type of game that has inherited the game data among a plurality of types of games (that is, the type of game from which the save data is inherited). For example, any of the trial version game and the previous game Indicates whether the game data has been taken over. The attribute acquisition unit 56 refers to the value of the takeover flag indicating the type of game that is the takeover source, and acquires the type of game that the user has taken over.

  The privilege granting unit 58 includes a plurality of types of games in which one user takes over the game data (for example, one of the trial version game and the previous game that is taken over by one user), and a plurality of types of games. Based on the combination of the type of game that another user has inherited the game data of (for example, the one that the other user has inherited between the trial version game and the previous game), A privilege is given to at least one of the user and other users.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the association between a combination of game types in which each user has inherited saved data and a privilege. The association is stored in the game data storage unit 50 and may be, for example, a mathematical expression format or a table format. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the privilege granting unit 58 grants a privilege to each user based on a privilege associated with a combination of game types in which each user has inherited the save data. For example, the privilege granting unit 58 changes the user to whom the privilege is given or the type or number of the privilege to be given to the user according to the combination of the game types that have inherited the save data.

  According to the modified example (1), since the privilege is given to the user according to the combination of the game that has inherited the save data, the privilege can be given diversity, and the latest game, the trial version game, and the previous game Motivation to play the game can be given to each user.

  (2) Further, for example, a given privilege may be given to the user who has started the game by taking over the save data at the start of the game. Furthermore, you may make it make the privilege when the said user plays a game with another user differ from the privilege at the time of the said start.

  The start time privilege granting unit 60 gives the first privilege to the user who started the game by taking over the game data (for example, the trial version game or the save data of the previous game). The first privilege is a game item, a game card, a game character, and in-game currency (for example, points). Note that the timing at which the first privilege is given may be immediately after the start of the game, or a predetermined timing after the game is started (for example, timing when the user performs a given receiving operation). Also good.

  For example, a plurality of types of privileges are prepared as candidates for the first privilege, and the start-time privilege granting unit 60 grants at least one of the plurality of types of privileges as the first privilege. Also good. In this case, the start-time privilege granting unit 60 grants a privilege that is determined based on a privilege selected by the user or a given determination algorithm among a plurality of types of benefits to the user as a first privilege. The information indicating the first privilege granted to the user is stored in the user's save data, for example. It is assumed that data indicating the first privilege candidate is stored in the game data storage unit 50.

  The privilege granting part 58 gives a second privilege different from the first privilege to at least one of the one user and the other user. That is, here, the privilege granting unit 58 grants the second privilege from a plurality of types of benefits excluding the first privilege type.

  The second privilege may be higher in value or lower than the first privilege. Further, the second privilege may have the same value as the first privilege. The privilege value is, for example, the rarity level in the game or the height of the parameter relating to the privilege, for example, the rarity level of the game item or the height of the currency in the game.

  Furthermore, when the first privilege is selected from among a plurality of types of privileges, the privilege granting unit 58 has a second associated with the first privilege granted to the user among the plurality of types of privileges. You may make it provide a privilege. That is, the privilege granting unit 58 may change the type of the second privilege based on the type of the first privilege.

  According to the modified example (2), for example, the privilege given when each user plays the game together and the privilege given when the save data is taken over are made different from each other. The sex can be further improved.

  (3) Further, for example, the second privilege may be given based on the combination of the first privilege acquired by each user at the start of the game. That is, the type of the second privilege given to each user may be different depending on the combination of the types of the first privilege.

  The attribute of this modification shows the kind of the 1st privilege provided among the multiple types of privilege. Here, the attribute acquisition unit 56 acquires information indicating the type of the first privilege stored in the save data.

  The privilege granting unit 58 is based on a combination of a privilege granted to one user among a plurality of types of privilege and a privilege granted to another user among a plurality of types of privilege. A privilege is given to at least one of the other users.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an association between a combination of first privilege types and a second privilege. The association is stored in the game data storage unit 50 and may be, for example, a mathematical expression format or a table format. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the privilege granting unit 58 grants a user a second privilege associated with a combination of the first privilege types given to each user. That is, the privilege granting unit 58 changes the user who is given the second privilege based on the combination of the types of the first privilege given to each user, or the second privilege given to the user. Different types and numbers.

  According to the modification (3), the second privilege can be given to the user in accordance with the combination of the types of the first privilege given when the game is started by taking over the save data. The benefits granted to can be further diversified.

  (4) Also, for example, when the user takes over the save data of the trial game or the previous game, the privilege to be given to the user is determined according to the combination of the progress status of the trial game or the previous game. You may do it. That is, the privilege to be granted is determined according to the combination of whether the save data was taken over without progressing the trial version game or the previous game so much, or the save data was taken over in a very advanced state. Also good.

  The attribute of this modification is the progress status of another game (for example, the progress status of the trial game or the previous game) when the game data (for example, save data) is taken over. The progress of the game is indicated by the value of a given game parameter and stored in the save data of each game. For example, the parameter of the character 22 corresponds to information indicating the progress of the game.

  In this modification, information indicating the progress status of the takeover source game (that is, the trial version game or the previous game) is stored in the save data of each user. For example, information indicating the parameters of the character 22 when the save data of the trial game or the previous game is taken over is stored in the latest game save data.

  The privilege granting unit 58 is based on a combination of the progress of another game when one user takes over the game data and the progress of another game when another user takes over the game data. A privilege is given to at least one of one user and another user.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an association between a combination of progress situations and a privilege. The association is stored in the game data storage unit 50 and may be, for example, a mathematical expression format or a table format. As shown in FIG. 14, the privilege provision part 58 provides the privilege linked | related with the combination of the progress condition of the game of each user's taking over. That is, the privilege granting unit 58 changes the user to whom the privilege is given, or the type or number of the privilege to be given to each user based on the combination of the progress status of the game of each user's takeover. To do.

  According to the modification (4), since a privilege is given according to the combination of the progress status of the takeover source game by each user, the variety of privileges given to the user can be further improved.

  (5) For example, in the embodiment, the case where a privilege is given to the user who started the latest game by taking over the save data has been described, but conversely, the latest game was started without taking over the save data. A privilege may be given to the user.

  The privilege granting part 58 of this modification gives a privilege to the user who started the game without taking over the game data among the one user and the other user. That is, the privilege granting unit 58 gives a privilege to a user whose takeover flag is “0” among a plurality of users, and does not give a privilege to a user whose takeover flag is “1” or “2”.

  According to the modified example (5), since the privilege is given to the user who started the latest game from scratch without taking over the save data, for example, the user who has never played the trial game or the previous game is the latest Motivation to play the game can be given.

  (6) Also, for example, a privilege may not be given in subsequent play to a user who has been given a privilege by playing with another user in the past. That is, the privilege given when playing with other users may be only once.

  In this modification, a case will be described in which each user's save data includes information regarding whether or not a privilege has been granted. Note that information indicating the type of privilege granted to the user may be included in each user's save data.

  The grant determination unit 62 determines whether or not a privilege has been granted to at least one of one user and another user. The grant determination unit 62 refers to the save data of the user and determines whether or not a privilege has already been granted to the user. Further, the grant determination unit 62 refers to the save data of the user and identifies the type of privilege granted to the user in the past.

  The privilege granting unit 58 grants a privilege to at least one of the one user and the other user based on the combination of the attribute of the one user and the attribute of the other user and the determination result of the grant determining unit 62. To do.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating the association between the determination result of the grant determination unit 62 and the privilege. The association is stored in the game data storage unit 50 and may be, for example, a mathematical expression format or a table format. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the privilege grant unit 58 grants a privilege to the user based on the privilege associated with the determination result of the grant determination unit 62. That is, the privilege granting unit 58 changes the user to whom the privilege is granted based on the determination result of the granting determination unit 62, or changes the type or number of the privilege to be given to each user.

  According to modification (6), since a privilege can be provided to a user based on a privilege in the past, the diversity of the privilege can be improved. In addition, in the above, although the case where the privilege was not provided even if the user to whom the privilege was already given performed multi-play was explained, the privilege at the time of multi-play is determined based on the privilege granted to the user in the past. May be. For example, whenever a user acquires a privilege, the value of the privilege provided in subsequent multiplayer may increase or may decrease.

  (7) For example, in the embodiment, the case where an attribute indicating whether or not the save data of the trial version game or the previous game is used is used as an example of the user attribute. What can be done is not limited to this. In addition, for example, the type of the game device 10 used by the user may be used as an attribute.

  The attribute of this modification shows the kind of game terminal which a user uses among several types of game terminals. That is, in the present modification, the model of the computer used by the user (for example, the model of the portable game machine) corresponds to the attribute.

  The type acquisition unit 64 acquires the type (model) of the game terminal used by each user among a plurality of types of game terminals. It is assumed that information indicating the type of game terminal is stored in the game data storage unit 50. When a mobile phone (smartphone) is used as a game terminal, the type acquisition unit 64 acquires the model of the user's mobile phone.

  The privilege granting unit 58 grants a privilege to at least one of the one user and the other user based on the combination of the type of game terminal used by one user and the type of game terminal used by another user. .

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an association between a combination of game terminal types and a privilege. The association is stored in the game data storage unit 50 and may be, for example, a mathematical expression format or a table format. As illustrated in FIG. 16, the privilege granting unit 58 grants a privilege to the user based on the privilege associated with the combination of the types of game terminals of each user. That is, the privilege granting unit 58 changes the type of privilege given to each user or the user to whom the privilege is given, based on the combination of the types of game terminals of each user.

  According to modification (7), a privilege can be provided according to the combination of the types of game terminals used by each user.

  (8) For example, in the above description, an example in which the present invention is applied to a game in which a plurality of users participate is described, but a game to which the present invention is applicable is not limited thereto. In addition, for example, in a game of a certain user, the present invention may be applied to a game in which another user's character 22 supports the user.

  The game execution unit 52 of this modification executes a game of one user based on the game data of one user and the game data of another user. That is, the game execution unit 52 advances the game of the one user based on not only the game data of one user but also the game data of another user.

  When the game execution unit 52 executes a game for one user, the privilege granting unit 58 is based on a combination of the attribute of the one user and the attribute of the other user, and at least the one user and the other user. A privilege will be given to one side. The method itself that the privilege granting part 58 gives the privilege is the same as that of the embodiment, and the user to whom the privilege is given differs according to the combination of the attributes of each user, or the type of privilege given to each user or The number is different.

  According to the modification (8), for example, for a game in which the character 22 of another user supports the user, the variety of benefits given to the user is improved, so that motivation for playing the game is given. be able to.

  (9) Two or more modified examples may be combined. Furthermore, essential functions in the game system 1 according to the present invention are the game execution unit 52, the attribute acquisition unit 56, and the privilege granting unit 58, and other functions may be omitted.

  Further, for example, in the above description, the case where two types of trial game and previous game are prepared as save data takeover games has been described, but the takeover game is not limited to this. Any game that is compatible with the save data of the game started by the user may be used. For example, the save data of one type of game may be taken over, or the save data of three or more types of games may be taken over.

  Further, for example, the privilege granting unit 58 may determine whether or not to grant a privilege to a user based on a combination of attributes of each user (that is, determine a user who gives the privilege). The type of privilege granted to the user may be determined. In this case, the privilege granting unit 58 gives a privilege of the type associated with the combination of user attributes to the user. For example, by preparing a game item that is given only when playing with a user who has a combination of specific attributes, it provides a variety of benefits and motivation to play together with each other Can be given.

  Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to a game in which a plurality of users battle each other in addition to a game in which a plurality of users cooperate as in the embodiment. In addition, for example, the present invention can be applied to a shooting game (for example, FPS; First Person Shooting), a role playing game, and the like.

  Further, for example, in the embodiment, a case has been described in which a game device serving as a server acquires information indicating a user's operation from another game device and updates game situation data. The game status data may be updated in each game device by transmitting information indicating the operation. In this case, the consistency of the game situation data of each game device may be taken every predetermined time.

  Furthermore, each function block may be shared by each game apparatus 10 constituting the game system 1. That is, each of the functional blocks may be realized by any one of the game apparatuses 10 included in the game system 1.

  For example, the game device 10 that implements the game data storage unit 50 may be different from the game device 10 that implements the game execution unit 52, the attribute acquisition unit 56, and the privilege granting unit 58. In this case, the game execution unit 52 acquires various data relating to the game via the network 2 and performs game processing, and the attribute acquisition unit 56 acquires the attributes of each user via the network 2. The privilege grant unit 58 grants a privilege based on the attribute acquired via the network 2.

  Further, for example, in the embodiment, the case where the game system is realized by a plurality of game devices has been described. However, the game system may be realized by one or a plurality of computers, and the devices constituting the game system Is not limited to the example of the embodiment.

  For example, a game server that comprehensively controls a game executed by the game system and a game device operated by each user may be included. In this case, there are as many game devices as the number of users, and each game device transmits information indicating the operation contents of the user to the game server. The game server acquires the operation content from each game device and executes the game. Game status data indicating the status of the game being executed is distributed from the game server to each game device. In the game device, various game processes are executed based on the distributed game situation data, and a game screen is displayed. In other words, main processing relating to the game may be executed by the game server, and the computer on the user side may only accept the operation content and display the screen.

  Further, for example, the game system may be realized by a single game device. In this case, for example, there are as many display units and controllers as the number of users. The control unit of the game device updates the game situation data by acquiring the operation state of each controller. And a control part may produce | generate the game screen which should be displayed on the display part of each user, and you may make it display on each display part. In this case, each functional block of the game system is realized mainly by the control unit and the storage unit of the one game device.

  1 game system, 2 networks, 10, 10A, 10B, 10C game device, 11 control unit, 12 storage unit, 13 optical disc drive unit, 14 communication unit, 15 display unit, 16 sound output unit, 17 operation unit, 20 game screen , 22, 22A, 22B, 22C Character, 24 Task list, 26 Enemy character, 28 Predetermined character, 30 Message, 32 New start button, 34 Trial version takeover button, 36 Previous work takeover button, 50 Game data storage unit, 52 game Execution unit, 54 takeover determination unit, 56 attribute acquisition unit, 58 privilege grant unit, 60 start privilege grant unit, 62 grant determination unit, 64 type acquisition unit.
