JP 2013-244307 A

  In a game system in which a plurality of users participate in a common game, there is a difference in game progress among users. Specifically, for example, the level of the character used by the user in the game and the number of enemies defeated in the game differ among users. In general, a user with a high character level or a user with a large number of defeated enemies has a higher value item in the game than a user with a low character level or a user with a small number of defeated enemies. Or have more items. Therefore, for example, when the receiving side is set at random when sending an item, if a high-value item is sent to a user who participated in the game for the first time from a user with a fast game progress, only the user who sent the item is advantageous The game can be advanced to other users, and other novice users may feel unfair. Further, when an item is sent from a user with a slow game progress to a user with a fast game progress, the value of the item is low, and the user who received the item may feel dissatisfied. And if it restrict | limits so that an item can be sent only between users with the same progress of a game, there exists a possibility of restrict | limiting exchanges between users. An item is an example of an object having value in a game.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a game system capable of promoting object exchange between users with different game progress and promoting user interaction, a control method used therefor, and a computer program. With the goal.

  The game system of the present invention provides a game to a plurality of users, and one user can send an object having value in the game to another user in the game.

  The concept of the object in the present invention includes various items used in the game. For example, a recovery drug that can recover the physical strength of the character operated by the user by using it in the game, and an item that can power up the weapon used by the character by consuming a predetermined number, so-called material items, are the concept of the object. included. Furthermore, when a user plays a game using a plurality of monsters and characters during the game, these monsters and characters are also included in the concept of objects.

  Further, the progress of the game in the present invention is the degree to which the user has advanced the game. As an example, the level of the character operated by the user in the game, the number of enemy characters defeated by the user in the game, the number of stages captured by the user in the game, the game play time of the user, and the like correspond to the progress. The higher the character level, the greater the number of defeated enemy characters, the greater the number of captured stages, or the longer the game play time, the faster the progress of the game. Hereinafter, the level of the character may be abbreviated as “level”.

  The control method of the present invention is a computer incorporated in a game system that provides a game to a plurality of users and allows one user to send an object having value in the game to another user in the game. The adjustment step of adjusting at least one of the value and quantity of the object sent to the other user according to the progress of the game of the one user is executed.

  The computer program for a game system of the present invention is a game system that provides a game to a plurality of users, and allows one user to send an object having value in the game to another user in the game.

The player icon PI includes an icon image IM corresponding to the player character PC, user name information NI, and the like. The game screen GS is provided with a message area MA for displaying a message for the user of the game machine GM.

  As described above, in this game, the user can obtain an item when a predetermined acquisition condition such as defeating an enemy character in the game is satisfied. In this game, multiple types of items are prepared as items. The user is given an item randomly selected from these multiple types of items. That is, the user cannot freely select items that can be obtained. Therefore, a user with a high class or a user who has played a game for a long time may own a plurality of the same items. Therefore, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, each user can present items to other users. A consideration corresponding to the presented item is given to the user who presented the item. As this consideration, for example, points that can be used to customize the player character PC when used in a game are given. Below, the user who sends an item may be called a transmission user, and the user who receives an item may be called a receiving user.

  In this game system 1, various conditions are provided when sending items in this way. For example, the receiving user is set by the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2, and the transmitting user cannot select the receiving user. And a user whose class is lower than the transmitting user is set as the receiving user. Items that can be transmitted by the transmission user at a time are limited to a sum of the values of the items in the game that are not less than a predetermined lower limit value and not more than a predetermined upper limit value. Different types of items are given different value points according to the value in the game. The total value of items is a value obtained by integrating the value points of items selected by the transmission user. For example, if 10 items with a value point of 10 pt are selected, the total value of the items is 100 pt. In addition, when the sending user has selected a plurality of items, for example, when five items with a value point of 10 pt and three items with a value point of 30 pt are selected, the total value of the items is 140 pt. Become. Then, transmission of the next item is prohibited until a predetermined sending prohibition time (for example, 2 hours) elapses after the previous item is transmitted. In addition, there is a restriction on the receiving user, and the reception of the item is prohibited until a predetermined reception prohibition time (for example, 24 hours) elapses after the previous item is received.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 14, the item exchange between the users described above will be described in detail. First, transmission of an item from a transmission user will be described.

(Item transmission)
FIG. 5 shows an item transmission routine executed by the game system 1. This routine is executed by the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 and the item transmission unit 23 of the game machine GM.

  In this process, the item transmission unit 23 of the game machine GM first determines whether or not the user of the game machine GM has requested transmission of an item (step S11). For example, a button “I want to send an item” is displayed on the display device of the game machine GM before the game is started. Then, when the user selects the button, it may be determined that the item transmission is requested. If it is determined that the user has not requested item transmission, the current routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the user is requesting transmission of an item, the process proceeds to step S12, and the item transmission unit 23 transmits the user data 14 of this user (transmission user) to the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2. Request transmission. Upon receiving this transmission request, the item transfer management unit 16 transmits the user data 14 stored in the storage unit 12 to the item transmission unit 23 in step S21. In the next step S13, the item transmission unit 23 determines whether or not the transmission user satisfies a predetermined transmission condition. The transmission condition is, for example, that the level of the transmitting user's character (hereinafter may be abbreviated as the transmitting user's level) is level 2 or higher, and a predetermined sending prohibition time has elapsed since the previous item was transmitted. Is determined to be satisfied. This determination may be performed based on the item transmission / reception history of the user data 14. If it is determined that the transmission condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S14, and the item transmission unit 23 executes a predetermined transmission prohibition process. In this transmission prohibition process, for example, a message such as “24 hours have not elapsed since the previous transmission” is displayed on the display device of the game machine GM. Thereafter, the current routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it determines with satisfy | filling transmission conditions, it progresses to step S15 and the item transmission part 23 performs an item selection process. The contents of the item selection process will be described with reference to FIGS. In this item selection process, the transmission item selection screen SS shown as an example in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display device of the game machine GM. On the selection screen SS, an item display section 31, quantity selection buttons 32a to 32e, a gift box section 33, a “reset” button 34, a “send” button 35, and a “return” button 36 are displayed. In addition, an operation pointer 37 operated by the transmission user is displayed on the selection screen SS.

  The item display unit 31 displays items that have been acquired by the transmission user. In addition, “?” Is displayed at a part of an item that has never been acquired. Next to the items that have been acquired, the number currently owned by the sending user is displayed. Further, below each item, a value point given to the item is shown. As shown in this figure, four types of items A to D are prepared in this game. And the item level of 1-8 is provided in item AD of each system | strain. That is, 32 types of items are prepared in this game. The items A to D have a high value in the game in the order of the item A, the item B, the item C, and the item D. Further, each item A to D has a higher value in the game as the item level becomes higher. Value points are given according to these rules. Therefore, item A-1 shown in this figure has the lowest value point, and item D-8 has the highest value point.

  The quantity selection buttons 32 a to 32 e are buttons for selecting a quantity as a unit when an item is moved between the item display part 31 and the gift box part 33. More specifically, for example, when the quantity selection button 32b of “× 10” is selected, items can be moved in units of ten.

  The gift box section 33 is a place for displaying items to be sent to other users. The transmission user selects an item to be sent to another user from the items displayed on the item display unit 31. In the gift box section 33, the selected items are displayed. As shown in this figure, in this game system 1, a maximum of five types of items can be sent to other users. The number of item types that can be sent to other users is determined by the level of the sending user. The higher the level of the transmission user, the greater the number of types that can be transmitted. In the example shown in this figure, up to three types of items can be sent. In the gift box section 33, the sum of the values of the items selected by the transmission user is indicated by a numerical value as a gift value 33a and a bar graph as a gift gauge 33b. The gift gauge 33b visually represents the sum of the values of the selected items. As described above, the total value of items is an integrated value of the value points of the selected item. In the example of this figure, six items C-2 with a value point of 60 pt and three items B-5 with a value point of 100 pt are selected. Therefore, the total value of items is 660 pt. This value is shown as the gift value 33a. The numerical value 33c shown beside the gift value 33a is the above-described upper limit value. Therefore, 1000 pt is the upper limit value of this transmission user.

  The “reset” button 34 is a button for canceling all items selected by the transmission user and emptying the gift box 33. The “Send” button 35 is a button for sending the item selected by the sending user to another user. The “return” button 36 is a button for canceling item transmission and returning to the previous screen.

  On this selection screen SS, the transmission user operates the operation pointer 37 with the input device 27 to select items to be sent to other users and their quantities. Specifically, first, the operation pointer 37 is operated to select one button from the five quantity selection buttons 32a to 32e. After that, as shown in FIG. 7, the operation pointer 37 is operated to move the item between the item display unit 31 and the gift box unit 33. In addition, what is necessary is just to use a known method suitably for the method of moving an item in this selection screen SS. For example, the item may be moved by dragging and dropping the item from the item display unit 31 to the gift box unit 33 by operating the operation pointer 37. Similarly, when moving an item from the gift box section 33 to the item display section 31, a known moving method may be used as appropriate. At this time, the item moves by the quantity of the quantity selection buttons 32a to 32e selected in advance. That is, when the “× 10” button 32b is selected, the item moves in units of ten. Then, the number of source items decreases in units of 10, and the number of destination items increases in units of 10. The same applies when other quantity selection buttons 32a and 32c to 32e are selected.

  When an item is selected in the gift box section 33, the gift value 33a and the gift gauge 33b change according to the type and number of the selected item. As described above, in the game system 1, items that can be transmitted at one time by the transmission user are limited such that the sum of the values of items, that is, the gift value 33 a is not less than a predetermined lower limit and not more than a predetermined upper limit. Therefore, when the gift value 33a is less than the lower limit value or when the gift value 33a is greater than the upper limit value, the “Send” button 35 cannot be selected. Further, when the gift value 33a reaches the upper limit value while the sending user is selecting an item, no more items can be selected. The upper limit is set according to the level of the transmitting user, and the upper limit increases as the level of the transmitting user increases. Moreover, a lower limit is set according to an upper limit, for example, 30% of an upper limit is set.

  When the transmission user selects the “reset” button 34 or the “return” button 36, the above-described processing set for each button is executed.

  In the next step S16, the item transmission unit 23 determines whether or not the gift value 33a is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value. If it is determined that the gift value 33a is greater than the upper limit value, the process returns to step S15. On the other hand, if it is determined that the gift value 33a is equal to or less than the upper limit value, the process proceeds to step S17, and the item transmission unit 23 determines whether the gift value 33a is equal to or greater than a predetermined lower limit value. If it is determined that the gift value 33a is less than the lower limit value, the process returns to step S15. On the other hand, if it is determined that the gift value 33a is greater than or equal to the lower limit value, the process proceeds to step S18, and the item transmission unit 23 determines whether or not the transmission user has selected the “send” button 35. If it is determined that the transmission user has not selected the “transmission” button 35, the process returns to step S15.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the transmission user has selected the “transmission” button 35, the process proceeds to step S 19, where the item transmission unit 23 selects information about the selected item (for example, the type and number of items) and information about the transmission user (for example, , The ID of the transmitting user and the level of the character) are transmitted to the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2. Thereafter, the current routine is terminated.

  Upon receiving the item information and the sending user information, the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 creates gift box data 17 based on the information and stores it in the storage unit 12. Note that the gift box data 17 created at this time may be associated with the user data 14 of the sending user. Thereafter, the current routine is terminated. FIG. 8 shows an example of the gift box data 17. As shown in this figure, the gift box data 17 includes the sending user ID, sending user level, sending date and time, sending item information, sending item number, receiving user ID, receiving date and time, receiving item information, and The number of received items is recorded. The information and the number of items to be transmitted are information and the number of items actually transmitted by the transmitting user. The information and the number of items received are the information and the number of items received by the receiving user. At the time of transmission from the game machine GM of the transmission user to the center server 2, only some information such as the transmission user ID, the transmission user level, the transmission date and time, the transmission item information, and the number of transmission items is included. Recorded in the gift box data 17. The remaining information other than these is sequentially added to the gift box data 17 when the center server 2 receives the remaining information.

(Receiving user decision)
FIG. 9 shows a receiving user determination routine executed by the game system 1. This routine is executed by the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2.

  In this routine, the item transfer management unit 16 first reads the gift box data 17 from the storage unit 12 in step S31. In the next step S32, the item transfer management unit 16 executes a receiving user determination process. In this process, the receiving user is determined based on the plurality of user data 14 stored in the storage unit 12 and the level of the transmitting user. However, as described above, the reception of the next item is prohibited until the reception prohibition time elapses after the previous item is received. Therefore, users who have received items within the reception prohibition time from the current time are excluded. In this game system 1, the receiving user is limited to a user whose character level is lower than that of the transmitting user. And a receiving user is selected at random from the user who satisfy | fills these conditions.

  In the next step S33, the item transfer management unit 16 determines the value of the item sent to the receiving user based on the level of the transmitting user and the level of the receiving user's character (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the receiving user's level). Adjust the sum of. FIG. 10 shows an example of a table used for this adjustment. As described above, the level of the receiving user is lower than the level of the transmitting user. Therefore, “x” in this figure indicates that an item cannot be transmitted and received. Each numerical value in the table indicates a correction value used when adjusting the total value of items. As shown in this figure, if the value obtained by subtracting the level of the receiving user from the level of the transmitting user (hereinafter sometimes referred to as level difference) is 3 or less, 100% is set as the correction value. In this case, the item sent by the sending user is sent to the receiving user as it is. On the other hand, when the level difference is 4 or more, the correction value decreases as the level difference increases. Then, an item whose value sum is adjusted with this correction value is sent to the receiving user. More specifically, for example, when the level of the transmitting user is “8” and the level of the receiving user is “1”, 60% is set as the correction value. In this case, an item whose total value of items transmitted by the transmitting user is reduced to 60% is sent to the receiving user. The adjustment of the sum of the values is performed by adjusting at least one of the item value and the quantity. For example, the case where the transmission user has selected 10 items A-5 whose value points are 50 pt will be described. In this case, the total value may be reduced to 60% by reducing the number of items A-5 to 6. Further, the total number of values may be set to 60% by changing the item A-5 to the item A-3 having the same system and a value point of 30 pt without changing the number. In particular, when only one type of item is selected as the transmission item, the total value of the items can be adjusted by changing the item to a different value point. Further, the total value may be adjusted by changing both the item type and quantity. When the transmission user has selected a plurality of items, the total value may be adjusted by deleting the number of some items in the gift box to zero, that is, removing some of the items. In this case, for example, the sum of the values may be adjusted by deleting from items with high value points. In this process, first, a correction value is calculated based on the level of the transmitting user, the level of the receiving user, and the table of FIG. Thereafter, the sum of the values of items received by the receiving user is adjusted based on the calculated correction value. As a result, the received item information and the number of received items are calculated.

  In the next step S <b> 34, the item transfer management unit 16 adds the received user ID, the received item information, and the number of received items to the gift box data 17, and stores the updated gift box data 17 in the storage unit 12. Thereafter, the current routine is terminated.

(Item reception)
FIG. 11 shows an item reception routine executed by the game system 1. This routine is executed by the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 and the item reception unit 24 of the game machine GM.

  In this routine, first, the item receiving unit 24 of the game machine GM transmits the user data 14 of the user who is currently playing the game on the game machine GM to the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 (step S41). Upon receipt of the user data 14, the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 determines whether or not the user is a receiving user (step S51). This determination may be performed based on a plurality of gift box data 17 stored in the storage unit 12. If it is determined that this user is not the receiving user, the current routine is terminated. Note that the item reception unit 24 of the game machine GM ends the current routine if there is no response from the item transfer management unit 16 even after a predetermined time has passed since the user data 14 was transmitted.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the user of the game machine GM is the receiving user, the process proceeds to step S52, and the item transfer management unit 16 stores the gift box data 17 set as the receiving user by the user of the game machine GM. Send to. Upon receiving the gift box data 17, the item receiving unit 24 executes an item receiving process (step S42). In the item reception process, for example, a message such as “Item received” is displayed in the message area MA of the game screen GS. Thereafter, when the receiving user performs a predetermined operation on the input device 27, a receiving screen AS shown as an example in FIG. 12 is displayed on the display device. FIG. 12 shows a case where an item is sent from the player 4 (sending user) to the player 2 (receiving user). As shown in this figure, on the receiving screen AS, the player character PC of the transmitting user, information on received items, and the number of received items are displayed.

  Further, the receiving screen AS is displayed with the player character PC of the receiving user and three icons I1 to I3. Icons I1 to I3 are used to select a comment that the receiving user sends to the transmitting user. The receiving user selects any one of these icons I1 to I3. When the receiving user selects any icon, the comment of the icon is displayed in the balloon CA of the displayed receiving user's player character PC. When the receiving user selects any icon, the reception of the item is completed, and the received item is added to the user data 14 of the receiving user.

  In the item reception process, when the receiving user receives the item, the date and time (reception date and time) when the receiving user receives the item and the information of the icon selected by the receiving user are transmitted to the item transfer management unit 16. Thereafter, the current routine is terminated.

  Upon receipt of the reception date and time and icon information, the item transfer management unit 16 adds the information to the gift box data 17 and stores the updated gift box data 17 in the storage unit 12. Thereafter, the current routine is terminated.

(Transmission completion report)
FIG. 13 shows a transmission completion report routine executed by the game system 1. This routine is executed by the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 and the item transmission unit 23 of the game machine GM.

  In this routine, first, the item transmission unit 23 of the game machine GM transmits the user data 14 of the user who is currently playing the game on the game machine GM to the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 (step S61). Upon receiving the user data 14, the item transfer management unit 16 of the center server 2 determines whether or not the user is a transmission user (step S71). This determination may be performed based on a plurality of gift box data 17 stored in the storage unit 12. If it is determined that this user is not the transmission user, the current routine is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that this user is the transmission user, the process proceeds to step S72, and the item transmission unit 23 determines whether or not the receiving user has received the item. Whether or not it has been received may be determined based on the reception date and time of the gift box data 17, for example. If the receiving user has not received the item yet, the current routine is terminated. Note that the item transmission unit 23 of the game machine GM ends the current routine if there is no response from the item transfer management unit 16 even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the user data 14 was transmitted.

  On the other hand, if the receiving user determines that the item has been received, the process proceeds to step S73, and the item transfer management unit 16 specifies a privilege given to the transmitting user. This privilege is calculated | required based on the sum total of the value of the item which the gift value 33a of the transmission item, ie, the transmission user transmitted. For example, a table indicating the relationship between the gift value 33a of the transmission item and the privilege is prepared in advance and stored in the storage unit 12 of the center server 2, and the privilege may be specified using the table. Note that the method for obtaining a privilege is not limited to this method. For example, a calculation formula for calculating a privilege using the gift value 33a may be set in advance and calculated using the formula. In the next step S74, the item transfer management unit 16 transmits the specified privilege and gift box data 17 to the item transmission unit 23.

  The item transmission part 23 will perform privilege provision process, if those data are received (step S62). In this privilege granting process, for example, a message such as “Item transmission completed” is displayed in the message area MA of the game screen GS. Thereafter, when the transmission user performs a predetermined operation on the input device 27, a transmission completion report screen RS shown as an example in FIG. 14 is displayed on the display device. As shown in this figure, on the transmission completion report screen RS, the player character PC of the receiving user and the comment selected by the receiving user are displayed. Moreover, the privilege for the transmission user is also displayed on this screen RS. In the example shown in this figure, “5000 points” and “SP cartridge” are given to the transmission user as a privilege. In addition, this point is a point which can customize player character PC by using in a game as mentioned above. The SP cartridge is a weapon item that can advantageously advance the game when used in the game. These privileges are given to the transmission user when the transmission completion report screen RS is displayed.

  In the privilege granting process, when the transmitting user receives the privilege in this way, information indicating that the transmitting user has received the privilege, such as the date and time when the privilege is received, is transmitted to the item transfer management unit 16. When the item transfer management unit 16 receives the information indicating that the privilege has been received, the item transfer management unit 16 adds the received information to the gift box data 17 (step S75). As a result, the processing for exchanging items related to the gift box data 17 is completed. Thereafter, the current routine is terminated.

  As described above, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the sum of the values of items sent by the transmitting user is adjusted according to the level of the transmitting user and the level of the receiving user. Thereby, the item of value suitable for the level of the receiving user can be sent to the receiving user. Therefore, for example, an item having a high value in the game can be prevented from being sent to a user with a low level. In addition, it is possible to prevent a large amount of items from being sent to one of the low-level users. Therefore, it can suppress that only the user who received the item becomes advantageous in a game. Further, it is possible to prevent a high-value item that cannot be used unless the character level exceeds a predetermined value from being sent to a user whose character level is lower than the predetermined value. Then, by adjusting the sum of the values of items in this way, the transmission user can freely select the item he / she wants to send without considering the level of his / her character and the level of the receiving user's character. As a result, it is possible to promote the exchange of items between users with different character levels, and therefore it is possible to promote exchanges between users with different character levels.

  Note that, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, even if the total value of items is adjusted in this way, a privilege according to the total value of items sent by the transmitting user is given to the transmitting user. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the transmission user from being disadvantaged.

  As is apparent from FIG. 10, when adjusting the sum of the values of items, the sum of the values is reduced as the difference between the level of the transmitting user and the level of the receiving user is larger. By adjusting the sum of the values of items in this way, an item suitable for the level of the receiving user can be sent to the receiving user.

  In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, a user whose character level is lower than that of the transmitting user is set as the receiving user. In other words, the receiving user is restricted so that a user whose character level is higher than the character level of the transmitting user is not set as the receiving user. In this case, since the item is sent only from a user with a high character level to a user with a low character level, it is possible to promote interaction between users with different character levels. In addition, by limiting the receiving user in this way, the level of the beginner character can be raised.

  In the game system 1 of this embodiment, an item cannot be transmitted unless the gift value 33a (the sum of the values of the selected items) is equal to or greater than a predetermined lower limit value. By limiting the items that can be transmitted in this manner, it is possible to secure a room for adjusting the total value of the items. Note that the method of setting the lower limit value is not limited to the method of setting based on the upper limit value. For example, it may be set by an appropriate method such as setting a lower limit value based on the level of the transmitting user. Further, it is not always necessary to provide both the upper limit value and the lower limit value. For example, only one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value may be provided. Furthermore, these upper limit value and lower limit value may be absent.

  Moreover, in the game system 1 of this embodiment, an item cannot be transmitted unless the gift value 33a is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value. By limiting the items that can be transmitted at a time in this way, it is possible to prevent a large amount of items from being sent to one user. Thereby, since it can suppress that the user's character to which the item was sent becomes strong too much, a game balance can be maintained. The method for setting the upper limit value is not limited to the method described above, and may be set by an appropriate method that can appropriately limit items that can be transmitted at one time.

  Furthermore, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, transmission of the next item is prohibited until a predetermined transmission prohibition time has elapsed since the previous item was transmitted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent one user from sending a large amount of items in a short period. The receiving side is also prohibited from receiving the next item until the reception prohibition time has elapsed since the previous item was received. By limiting the reception of items in this way, it is possible to prevent one user from receiving a large amount of items. Therefore, items can be sent to many users. And thereby, the exchange between users can be promoted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the item transfer management unit 16 executes the routines of FIGS. 5, 9, 11, and 13 so that the item transfer management unit 16 adjusts the receiving user, the receiving user limiting unit, the privilege granting unit, and the receiving unit. Functions as a limiting means. Moreover, by executing these routines, the item transmission unit 23 functions as a privilege granting unit, a lower limit limiting unit, an upper limit limiting unit, and a transmission limiting unit of the present invention. In the above-described form, items A-1 to D-8 correspond to objects of the present invention.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described form and can be implemented in various forms. For example, in the embodiment described above, the sum of the item values is adjusted according to the level of the transmitting user and the level of the receiving user, but the sum of the item values may be adjusted only according to the level of the transmitting user. For example, the correction value may be specified based only on the level of the transmitting user, such as increasing the correction value as the level of the transmitting user increases. For example, regarding the same type of item, the quantity of items that can be transmitted may be increased as the level of the transmission user increases. In general, a user with a high character level is likely to own a large amount of items with low value points, for example, the item A-1 in the form described above. In general, if the character level is high, there are few opportunities to use items with low value points. Therefore, there is a high possibility that such a user has a lot of items with low value points. Thus, by increasing the number of items that can be transmitted as the level of the transmitting user's character increases, the user with a higher character level can appropriately digest the surplus items. In general, a user having a higher character level has a smaller number of people. In addition, a user with a lower character level requires a lower-value item. Therefore, by adjusting the quantity of items that can be transmitted in this way, the game balance can be maintained by appropriately balancing supply and demand.

  In the above-described form, a user whose character level is lower than that of the transmitting user is set as the receiving user, but the user set as the receiving user is not limited to such a user. A user whose character level is equal to or higher than that of the transmitting user may be set as the receiving user. And when an item is sent to a user with a high character level from a user with a low character level, you may increase the sum total of the value of the item which the transmission user sent. Such adjustment may be performed, for example, by increasing the number of items. Moreover, you may increase the sum total of value by changing a transmission item, for example. Specifically, for example, when the item B-2 in FIG. 6 is selected as the transmission item, the sum of the values is increased by changing the item to the item B-4 of the same system.

  In the embodiment described above, the correction value used for the adjustment of the sum of the item values is obtained using the table of FIG. 10, but the method of calculating the correction value is not limited to this method. For example, a level difference obtained by subtracting the level of the receiving user from the level of the transmitting user may be calculated, and the correction value may be calculated based on the calculated level difference. Specifically, when the level difference is 0, 100% is set as the correction value. The correction value is reduced from 100% as the level difference increases in the positive direction. On the other hand, the correction value is increased from 100% as the level difference increases in the negative direction. Even if the correction value is set in this way, the sum of the values of the items can be adjusted similarly to the above-described embodiment.

  In the form described above, the center server 2 sets the receiving user, but the transmitting user may be able to select the receiving user. In this case, the center server 2 first selects a plurality of users (for example, 10 people) that satisfy a predetermined condition. Note that, as the predetermined condition, for example, as in the above-described form, it is set that the item has not been received within the reception prohibition time from the present time and the level is lower than that of the receiving user. Then, a plurality of users selected by the center server 2 are displayed on the display device of the game machine GM, and a user who wants to send an item is selected from those users. In addition, for example, the transmitting user may be able to select the receiving user by causing the transmitting user to input the ID of the user who wants to send the item.

  Further, the receiving user may be able to select the transmitting user. For example, a plurality of transmission users (for example, 10 people) are shown on the display device of the game machine GM of the receiving user. In this case, items that can be received from each sending user are also shown. However, the item shown on the display device is an item after the sum of values has already been adjusted according to the level difference between the receiving user and each transmitting user. The receiving user selects one of the plurality of sending users and receives an item from the sending user. Note that the transmission user that is not selected may be routed to another receiving user.

  When the transmission user and the reception user can be selected in this way, the level difference between the transmission user and the reception user becomes clear when the other user is selected by one user. Therefore, you may perform adjustment of the sum total of the value of the item which had been performed in the center server 2 by the game machine GM (client apparatus) side in the form mentioned above. In this case, the item information after the sum of the values is adjusted is transmitted from the game machine GM to the center server 2. In this case, the item transmission unit 23 or the item reception unit 24 of the game machine GM functions as the adjustment unit of the present invention. In addition, the process performed by the center server 2 and the process performed by the game machine GM may be appropriately switched within a range where the same control as the above-described embodiment can be performed.

  In addition, for example, when items can be sent only between game machines GM in the same store, the game machine GM of the transmission user or the game machine GM of the reception user performs instead of the center server 2. Also good.

  The method for adjusting the sum of the values of items is not limited to the method described above. For example, the total value of items that can be received by the receiving user may be adjusted based on the level of the transmitting user and the level of the receiving user. For example, when the receiving user can receive up to 999 items, the number of items that can be received is decreased from the maximum value as the difference between the level of the transmitting user and the level of the receiving user increases. As shown in FIG. 12, when the receiving user can receive a maximum of five types of items, the types of items that can be received based on the level of the transmitting user and the level of the receiving user are set. It may be decreased. For example, when the level difference is within 3, 5 types of items can be received. On the other hand, when the level difference is 4 or more, the types of items that can be received decrease as the level difference increases. Thus, even if the sum of the values of items that can be received by the receiving user is adjusted, it is possible to obtain the same effect as the above-described embodiment. By performing the restriction on the receiving side in this way, it is possible to adjust the total value of items that can be appropriately received even when the receiving user can select the transmitting user as described above. Further, the value and quantity of items that can be received by the receiving user may be adjusted according to only the level of the receiving user, that is, the progress of the game of the receiving user, regardless of the level of the transmitting user. For example, the total value of items may be adjusted so that the total value of items that can be received becomes smaller as the level of the receiving user is lower. Also in this case, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  In the embodiment described above, the gift box data 17 is provided separately from the user data 14 and the item exchange is managed. However, the item data may be managed by the user data 14. For example, the user data 14 may include item exchange data related to the user, that is, the item transmission date and time, the type of transmission item, the number of transmission items, and the like. In this case, the ID of the transmission user or the like can be omitted, or the process of step S71 in FIG. 13 can be omitted.

  The game machine in the present invention is not limited to a so-called arcade game machine used for commercial purposes. When a home-use game machine, portable game machine, general-purpose personal computer, portable communication terminal (including a mobile phone) and other computer devices are combined with a specific game program to function as a game machine The computer device is also included in the concept of the game machine of the present invention.

  Although the form which presents an item to a receiving user was shown in the form mentioned above, the game system to which this invention is applied is not limited to this. For example, the present invention may be applied to a game system capable of buying and selling items between users in a game.

  As described above, the game system of the present invention provides a game to a plurality of users, and one user in the game has an object (for example, as shown in FIG. In the game system capable of sending the items A-1 to D-8) described above (for example, the game system 1 described in FIG. 1), the other user according to the progress of the game of the one user Adjustment means (for example, the item transfer management unit 16 shown in FIG. 2) that adjusts at least one of the value and quantity of the object sent to.

  According to this game system, for example, the faster the progress of one user's game, the smaller the value and quantity of objects sent to other users, so that a beginner receives a high-value object or a large amount of objects. Can be prevented. In this case, one user can freely select and send an object without considering the progress of his game or the progress of another user's game. Thereby, the sending of the object between users with different progress of a game can be promoted, and the exchange between users can be promoted.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, the adjusting means may determine the value and quantity of the object sent to the other user according to the progress of the game of the one user and the progress of the game of the other user. You may adjust at least any one of these. In this case, the value and quantity of the object are adjusted in consideration of the progress of the game of one user and the other user. Therefore, the object having the value and quantity suitable for the progress of the game of the other user is assigned to the other user. Can be sent to.

  In this embodiment, the adjusting means is configured to at least one of an object value and a quantity sent to the other user according to a difference between the game progress of the one user and the game progress of the other user. One of them may be adjusted. In addition, when the progress of the game of the one user is faster than the progress of the game of the other user, the adjusting means may determine the progress of the game of the one user and the progress of the game of the other user. As the difference is smaller, at least one of the value and quantity of the object sent to the other user may be reduced. By adjusting the value and quantity of the object in this way, it is possible to send an object with an appropriate value and an object with an appropriate quantity to other users.

  In one form of the game system according to the present invention, the adjustment means may be configured to detect objects that can be received by the other user based on the progress of the game of the one user and the progress of the game of the other user. You may adjust at least any one of a value and quantity. By adjusting the value and quantity of objects that can be received by other users in this way, it is possible to send objects of appropriate values and quantities to other users.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, a receiving user restricting means for restricting a user who can be set as the other user among the plurality of users according to the progress of the game of the one user (for example, FIG. 2 may be further provided. According to this aspect, by appropriately restricting users who can be set as other users, an object of one user can be sent to a user who desires the object.

  In this embodiment, the receiving user restricting means restricts the other user so that a user whose progress of the game is higher than the progress of the game of the one user among the plurality of users is not set as the other user. May be. In this case, since an object is sent only to a user whose game progress is delayed from a user whose game progress is fast, exchange between users with different game progress can be promoted.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, the adjusting means accepts an object selected by the one user to be sent to the other user, and at least one of the value and quantity of the accepted object is accepted by the one user. A privilege granting means (adjusting according to the progress of the game and sending it to the other user, and granting a privilege according to the value and quantity of the object received by the adjusting means from the one user to the one user ( For example, you may further provide the item transfer management part 16 and the item transmission part 23) of FIG. Thus, by giving a privilege to one user, even if the value and quantity of the sent object are adjusted, it is possible to prevent one user from being disadvantaged.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, a plurality of types of objects having different values are provided as the objects, and the one user can select a plurality of types of objects as objects to be sent to the other users. When the sum of the values of the selected objects calculated based on the value and quantity of the objects selected by the one user to send to the other user is less than a predetermined lower limit, the object of the one user May be further provided with a lower limit restricting means (item transmitting unit 23 described in FIG. 2) that prohibits the sending of. In this embodiment, the lower limit value may be set according to the progress of the game of the one user. Thus, by providing a lower limit value for the sum of the values of objects, a room for adjusting the value and quantity of the objects can be secured.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, a plurality of types of objects having different values are provided as the objects, and the one user can select a plurality of types of objects as objects to be sent to the other users. When the one user selects an object to send to the other user, the sum of the values of the selected objects calculated based on the value and quantity of the selected objects has reached a predetermined upper limit value. In this case, an upper limit restricting unit (item transmitting unit 23 shown in FIG. 2) that prohibits selection of further objects may be further provided. In this embodiment, the upper limit value may be set according to the progress of the game of the one user. Thus, by providing an upper limit value for the sum of the values of objects, it is possible to prevent a large number of objects from being sent to one user.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, a sending restriction means for prohibiting sending of an object by the one user until a predetermined sending-prohibited time elapses since the one user sent the object last time (described in FIG. 2). The item transmission unit 23) may be further provided. By limiting the transmission of objects in this way, it is possible to prevent one user from transmitting a large number of objects in a short period of time.

  In one form of the game system of the present invention, reception restriction means for prohibiting the other user from receiving the object until the predetermined reception prohibition time has elapsed since the other user received the object last time (see FIG. 2). The described item transfer management unit 16) may be further provided. By limiting the reception of objects in this way, it is possible to prevent one user from receiving a large amount of objects. Therefore, an object can be sent to many users. And thereby, the exchange between users can be promoted.

  Another game system of the present invention provides a game to a plurality of users, and an object in which one user has value for another user in the game (for example, the item A- in FIG. 6). 1-D-8) in a game system (for example, the game system 1 described in FIG. 1), the object sent to the other user according to the progress of the game of the other user. An adjustment means (for example, the item transfer management unit 16 shown in FIG. 2) for adjusting at least one of value and quantity is provided.

  According to another game system of the present invention, for example, the slower the progress of another user's game, the smaller the value and quantity of the object that the user can receive, so that a beginner can receive a high-value object or a large amount of object. You can prevent receiving objects. Therefore, the same effect as that of the present invention described above can be obtained.

  The control method of the present invention provides a game to a plurality of users, and an object in which one user has value for another user in the game (for example, items A-1 to A-1 shown in FIG. 6). D-8) can be sent to a computer (for example, the center server 2 illustrated in FIG. 2) incorporated in the game system (for example, the game system 1 illustrated in FIG. 1) of the game of the one user. According to the progress, an adjustment step of adjusting at least one of the value and quantity of the object sent to the other user is executed.

  In addition, the computer program for a game machine of the present invention provides a game to a plurality of users, and an object in which one user has value in the game to another user (for example, described in FIG. 6). A computer (for example, the center server 2 illustrated in FIG. 2) incorporated in a game system (for example, the game system 1 illustrated in FIG. 1) capable of sending the items A-1 to D-8). According to the progress of the user's game, it functions as adjustment means (for example, the item transfer management unit 16 shown in FIG. 2) that adjusts at least one of the value and quantity of the object sent to the other user. It is comprised as follows.

  By executing the control method or the computer program of the present invention, the game system of the present invention can be realized.
