Description

The present invention relates to a game system and a game program.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a service has been performed in which a virtual game hall is opened on a network and provided to players. The player who uses the service uses the terminal device to make necessary payments (in addition to cash payment, medals, coins, token (substitute coins) payment, electronic money, electronic payment such as points issued by stores, etc., Make payments (including all payment forms established by exchanging things that have an economic value), exchange it for an item with a game value (for example, a virtual medal), and exchange it for the game value item A game can be played on the device (for example, see Patent Document 1). In some games, a game value item is given to the player based on the game result like a slot machine. In such a game, the player uses the game value item acquired in the game. Furthermore, it is possible to play games.

JP 2001-300998 A

However, in the conventional service as described above, there is no distinction between the game value item exchanged by the player with the economically valued object and the game value item acquired based on the game result, so that the game player It is possible to continue playing using only the game value items acquired as a result, so the game is free, making it difficult for those operating a virtual game hall to generate profits. ..

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game device and a game program having an improved structure that is hard to generate a profit, such as in the case where a game can be continued to be played by using a game value item acquired by a game result. ..

The present inventor has conducted various studies in order to solve such problems. Under the conventional game providing service form as described above, even if a player (service user) wants to try a new game software (application) or want to play a game, he/she pays for the chargeable object for each different software. If it is premised on purchasing game value items, this is a factor that reluctant to play, and the fact is that the incentive to actually play is reduced. In this respect, it is considered that there is a fence between different game software (applications). Under these circumstances, even if a new game is developed, it will take time for it to penetrate among service users, and in some cases, it will be buried before it becomes popular in the game market. From the standpoint of the service provider who operates a virtual amusement park, it is difficult to generate a profit even if a game is newly developed. In some cases, it was necessary for the development. It is considered to be one of the reasons why there is a difficult situation even for the recovery of investment. The present inventor, who has paid attention to such a situation and made repeated studies, has obtained new knowledge leading to the solution of such a problem.

The present invention is based on such knowledge, and is a game device in which a player plays a game.
Storage means for storing the respective quantities of the first game value item exchanged with the economically valued object and the second game value item given to the player based on the result of the game,
Control means that consumes at least one of the first game value item and the second game value item to execute a game,
Means for exchanging information with an external server that stores the quantity information of the second game value item,
Equipped with
The control means exchanges only the quantity information of the second game value item in the storage means with the server.

In the game device according to the present invention, a plurality of types of game value items, that is, a first game value item and a second game value item are set. Of these, the first game value item is an item that can be exchanged for an economically valued object, and is given to the player by paying money, for example, whereas the second game value item is the game value item. The item is given to the player based on the result of, and is set as the item given to the player, for example, according to the winning result during the game. Regarding the execution of the game, it can be executed by consuming any of the first and second game value items, while regarding the point of exchanging information with an external server, these first and second game value items can be executed. The first and second game value items are treated as different items. That is, in the present invention, the control means exchanges the quantity information of the second game value item with the server, but does not exchange the information regarding the first game value item. In this way, the control means exchanges the quantity information regarding the second game value item with the server and synchronizes the quantity information, so that the second game value item is exchanged with the server. It becomes possible to carry out (for example, deposit and withdrawal). Furthermore, if the same configuration is applied to another game software (application) so that the quantity information of the second game value item can be shared, a predetermined condition can be established between these different game software (applications). It is possible to share the second game value item on the assumption that the above condition is satisfied.

Further, as in the present invention, the first game value item exchanged with the economically valued object and the second game value item acquired by the player based on the game result are managed separately as being different from each other. This makes it possible to clarify the difference between a paid item (charged item) and a free item in the game using the game device. According to this, the player (user) can freely select any of the game value items according to factors such as the frequency of use of the game value item, the degree of convenience, the range of use, etc. It will also be possible to balance among multiple types of game value items.

Furthermore, if the second game value item is shared between different game software (applications), the second game value item is a free item (a non-charged item and is free depending on the game result). However, it is likely that it will lead to improved profitability. In other words, instead of forcing a charge for the acquisition of necessary items for each different software, it is possible to play another game software (application) using a free common item (second game value item). If so, there will be no factor to be reluctant to charge, so to speak, the barrier between different game software (application) will be removed, and players (users who use the service) will have an opportunity to experience new game software. Increase. If so, it causes an incentive for the experienced player to obtain another item (first game value item) even if it is a fee, and the service provider side actually purchases the item. We can expect more opportunities.

In the game device as described above, the control means determines whether or not there is a first game value that can be used when executing a game, and if there is, the first game value is given priority over the second game value item. It preferably consumes items. When the player is playing while holding both the first game value item and the second game value item, by preferentially consuming (using) the first game value item, The item (first game value item) whose quantity information cannot be exchanged between items is consumed first, and only the second game value item is held at an early stage. be able to.

Further, in the game device as described above, when the game software is activated, the control means communicates with the server before consuming the first game value item and displays the quantity information of the second game value item. It is preferable that they are synchronized.

Further, in the game device as described above, the control means communicates with the server and synchronizes the quantity information of the second game value item, and then the server has the quantity information of the second game value item that can be used. In some cases, it is more preferable to inform the player.

Further, it is preferable that the control means, after recognizing the ID of the player, exchanges the quantity information of the second game value item corresponding to the ID with the server.

Further, it is preferable that the first game value item and the second game value item are separately displayed in a recognizable manner as different items in the display screen of the game device.

It is also preferable that the display area of the first game value item and the display area of the second game value item are distinguished in the display screen of the game device.

Further, in the game device, it is also preferable that an upper limit is set for the transferable amount of the quantity information of the second game value item transferred between the control means and the server.

Further, the program according to the present invention is stored in a computer of a game device in which a player plays a game.
Storing the respective quantities of the first game value item exchanged with the economic value realization object and the second game value item given to the player based on the result of the game,
Consuming at least one of the first game value item and the second game value item to execute a game,
Exchanging information with an external server which stores the quantity information of the second game value item,
Exchanging only the quantity information of the second game value item in the storage means with the server,
Is to be executed.

According to the present invention, it is possible to improve a structure in which it is difficult to generate a profit as in the case where a game can be continued to be played by using a game value item acquired by a game result.

It is a figure which shows an example of the external appearance shape of the game device which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a block diagram which shows the structure of a game device roughly. It is a flow chart which shows an example of a processing procedure from a game software starting to a game start in one embodiment of the present invention.

It is a figure which shows the example of a screen of a game device at the time of drawing out the deposited free medal (2nd game value item) from a management server, when playing with the game software different from the last time.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail based on an example of an embodiment shown in the drawings (see FIGS. 1 to 7).

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an external shape of a game device 10 according to this embodiment. A typical example of the game device 10 is a mobile phone, but in addition to this, a network such as a game-dedicated terminal or a general-purpose terminal, a mobile terminal wirelessly connectable to a network, or an electronic device equipped with a touch panel such as a tablet terminal is used. A general-purpose device capable of playing a game while communicating with each other may be included in the game device of the present invention.

The game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes a rectangular thin casing 11, and the touch panel 12 occupies a large part on one surface of the casing 11 (see FIG. 1 ). A receiver 13, a microphone 14, and a hard button 15 are provided on the surface (front surface) on which the touch panel 12 is mounted. In addition, on the side surface or the bottom surface of the game apparatus 10, external interfaces such as the hard key 16, the speaker 18 (see FIG. 2), and the audio output terminal 17 (see FIG. 2) are provided. Further, a camera 30 (see FIG. 2) is provided on the back surface of the game device 10.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the game device 10 according to the present embodiment. The game device 10 includes at least a mobile communication antenna 21, a mobile communication unit 22, a wireless LAN communication antenna 23, a wireless LAN communication unit 24, a storage unit 25, and a main control unit 26 in addition to the above-described components. Further, the external interface 32 including the speaker 18, the camera 30, and the audio output terminal 17 is further provided.

The touch panel 12 has both functions of a display device and an input device, and is configured by a display (display screen) 27 having a display function and a touch sensor 28 having an input function. The display 27 is configured by a general display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display. The touch sensor 28 is configured to include an element for detecting a touch operation arranged on the upper surface of the display 27 and a transparent operation surface laminated on the element. As a contact detection method of the touch sensor 28, any method among known methods such as a capacitance type, a resistance film type (pressure sensitive type), and an electromagnetic induction type can be adopted.

The touch panel 12 as a display device displays a game image generated by execution of the computer game program by the main control unit 26. The touch panel 12 as an input device detects a motion of a contact object (including a player's finger, a touch pen, etc., which will be described below as a representative example) that is in contact with the operation surface. , Receives the operation input, and gives the information of the contact position to the main control unit 26. The movement of the finger is detected as coordinate information indicating the position or area of the contact point, and the coordinate information is represented as, for example, coordinate values on two axes of the touch panel 12 in the short side direction and the long side direction.

The game device 10 is connected to the network (Internet) 40 through the mobile communication antenna 21 and the wireless LAN communication antenna 23, and can perform data communication with the management server 50 (see FIG. 2 ). The management server 50 serves as a hub of the game system, for example, collecting play data (game-related data) such as a game executed in the game device 10 via the network 40 and accumulating and managing the play data. Function as. In the management server 50 of the present embodiment, each player's ID (code for identifying a system user), nickname, icon (icon selected by each player), access history, number of deposited game value items, Various history information such as game history of various games, game status during games, various settings (settings common to the game), and unique indexes (level and experience value indicating the proficiency level of the game) are accumulated and managed. Has been done.

In this embodiment, when the game device 10 is connected to the network 40 and the management server 50, an online game system that can provide various games to the game device 10 online is constructed. In the online game system, by managing and providing play data corresponding to a plurality of types of game software (applications), it is possible for a player to enjoy playing various games in a game center as if they were playing the game. It is possible to provide. The game software (application) may be installed in the game device 10 or may be provided with a game function online from a server (management server 50). As an example, the content of the game, the content of processing during the progress, and the like will be described below while showing an online medal game using virtual medals (see FIGS. 3 to 7 ).

In the online game system including this game device 10, in addition to medals (hereinafter referred to as billing medals, denoted by reference character Mc) which are pay game value items, the result of the game (for example, when a slot is won) ), a free medal (hereinafter referred to as a free medal, denoted by a symbol Mf) which is a game value item given to the player is set. In the present embodiment, of these two types of medals, a specific medal (in the present embodiment, a free medal Mf) can be deposited in or withdrawn from the management server 50. Therefore, as for the free medals Mf, the mode in which the medals can be deposited and withdrawn in the management server 50 is like that of an actual medal depositing machine (medal bank).

In addition, it is preferable that the billing medal Mc and the free medal Mf are displayed on the screen so as to be distinguishable from each other. This makes it easier for the player to recognize the number of medals held by each type. The display means for making them distinguishable may be, for example, changing the color arrangement of both medals, or changing the pattern or design (see FIGS. 4 and 6). It is also preferable to divide the display area of the charge medal Mc from the display area of the free medal Mf and display each medal in each display area (see FIGS. 4 and 6).

When starting the game, first, when the player activates the software of the online medal game (as an example, a game application A having a slot machine as a motif) on the game device 10 (step SP1), a login screen is displayed, Allow the player to carry out the required login procedure (step SP2). After logging in, information specific to the player, such as the number of medals held, is displayed on the screen (touch panel 12) as necessary.

After login, if the player does not have a free medal (when the number of medals deposited in the management server 50 is 0) (No in step SP3), a screen for purchasing charged medals Then, the player who wishes to purchase can perform the purchase procedure (step SP5). Note that the online medal game of the present embodiment has a content imitating an actual device (amusement machine) installed in a game center or the like, and if neither the free medal Mf nor the charging medal Mc is owned. It is set so that it cannot be played. When the player purchases the charging medal Mc (step SP6), the player can play the medal game (step SP7). During the game, when the slot combination is completed, the betting is on the spot (winning), the number of free medals Mf can be refunded according to the betting rate and the winning content (see FIGS. 4 and 6).

The means for purchasing medals is not particularly limited, and in addition to credit payment, payment using medals, coins, tokens (substitute coins), electronic money, electronic payment of points issued by stores, etc. It is possible to purchase medals in any form of payment that is established by exchanging objects whose value is embodied.

If the player holds the free medals Mf (Yes in step SP3), the screen shifts to the medal drawing screen (see FIG. 4), and the desired number of free medals are deposited in the management server 50. The procedure for extracting Mf is made possible (step SP4). Although the procedure has been described here before the game starts, it is preferable that the player can perform the withdrawal procedure of the free medal Mf at any time during the game or after the game ends, if desired by the player. As an example, in the game device 10 of the present embodiment, a "drawer" button is set in the screen (see FIG. 4), and the player can operate the button to perform the withdrawal procedure of the free medal Mf at any time. I have to.

The player who has withdrawn the free medal Mf deposited as described above can play a game using the medal (step SP7). Although not shown in the figure, when the possessed medals are exhausted (or may be before exhaustion), the player can withdraw the free medals Mf deposited in the management server 50, or a predetermined procedure. It is also possible to purchase the charging medal Mc through the.

In addition, in such a game device 10 and a game system, when the player in the game is playing while holding both the charging medal Mc and the free medal Mf, the charging medal Mc is preferentially consumed. (Use) may be performed (see FIG. 6). By doing so, the medals (charge medals Mc) that cannot be deposited in the management server 50 are consumed first, and only the free medals Mf that can be deposited are held at an early stage. be able to. Further, from the standpoint of the service provider who operates a virtual game arcade, there is also an advantage that it is easy to improve profits by first consuming the charging medal Mc that directly leads to profits.

Incidentally, as a means for preferentially consuming the charge medal Mc, in a situation where the player in the game has both the charge medal Mc and the free medal Mf, the consumption (use) of the free medal Mf is performed. And the like. In the present embodiment, when a game is executed, it is determined whether or not there is a charging medal Mc that can be used by the player at that time, and if the player holds the charging medal Mc, consumption (use of the free medal Mf) ) Is limited, and the charge medal Mc is consumed in preference to the free medal Mf. At this time, the main control unit 26 transmits and receives only the quantity information of the free medals Mf in the storage unit 25 to and from the management server 50, and synchronizes the quantity information, so that the free medals Mf with the management server 50. It is possible to carry out delivery (for example, deposit or withdrawal). Further, the main control unit 26 communicates with the management server 50 to synchronize the quantity information of the free medals Mf, and then notifies the player if the management server 50 has the quantity information of the free medals Mf available. .. The main means for informing the player is mainly to display characters and images on the display 27, but even if sound or vibration is adopted as means other than these, or means combined with these. Good.

In addition, when the consumption limit as described here is attached, it is preferable to display the fact on the screen so that the player can easily understand the limit. For example, in the case of the game system of the present embodiment, the management server 50, which communicates with the game device 10 via the main control unit 26, provides the charge medal Mc and the free medal Mf on the game software (application) of the game device 10. Are distinguished and the number of each is managed appropriately (see FIG. 6).

Next, a processing example at the end of the game is shown below (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

When the player ends the game (Yes in step SP8), if the player does not have the free medal Mf (No in step SP9), the game software (application) can be ended as it is (step SP12). On the other hand, if the player holds the free medal Mf (Yes at step SP9), the free medal Mf can be deposited in the management server 50 at the request of the player himself (Yes at step SP10). Does not desire to deposit the free medal Mf (No in step SP10), the game software (application) can be terminated as it is (step SP12). In short, for the player, the management server 50 in the game system of the present embodiment is like a bank, and individual game software (applications) is like a wallet. Although the medal Mf is held in each game software (application), it is necessary to go through the management server 50 (so to speak, bank) when transferring to another game software (application).

In order to deposit the free medal Mf in the management server 50, on the medal deposit screen (see FIG. 6), the player may indicate the deposit of the free medal Mf by clicking or tapping the icon (step). SP11). As a result, the quantity information of the free medals Mf held by the player is transmitted to the management server 50 and managed as data. For example, in the game system of the present embodiment, when the deposit is instructed, the "number of medals in the application" (the number of free medals Mf held by the player in the game software (application) started up at that point) is The number becomes 0, and the number is added to the "number of medals deposited" (see FIG. 6). After the deposit procedure of the free medal Mf is completed, the game software (application) is terminated and a series of processing is completed (step SP12).

Although the procedure for depositing medals at the end of the game has been described as an example here, it is preferable that the procedure for depositing free medals Mf can be performed at any time during the game if the player so desires. As an example, in the game device 10 of the present embodiment, a “deposit” button is set on the screen (see FIG. 6), and the player can perform the deposit procedure of the free medal Mf at any time by operating the button. I have to.

Further, in the game system of the present embodiment, when playing with game software for an online medal game different from the game software (application A) up to the previous time (application B of a game with a horse racing motif as an example), It is possible to draw out the deposited free medals Mf and play the game (see FIG. 7). That is, as described with reference to FIG. 3, after the game software is started (step SP1), the user logs in (step SP2), a predetermined free medal withdrawal procedure (step SP4) is performed, and thereby the charged medal Mc is obtained. It is possible to play the online game using the free medals Mf that are held without purchasing (see FIG. 7, etc.).

As described above, according to the game device 10 and the game system of the present embodiment, a predetermined game value item (in the present embodiment, a free medal Mf) is shared or shared among a plurality of online medal game software. It will be possible. For this reason, even though it is an online virtual game, a player can bring out (carry) a medal in a real game center and enjoy another medal game. ) Mf can be used to enjoy other online games (see FIG. 6, etc.). Therefore, from the viewpoint of the player, there is an advantage that it is possible to enjoy a plurality of online medal game software without purchasing the charge medal Mc. Further, the free medals Mf can be accumulated in a certain game, and the free medals Mf can be used in another game to aim for a big win.

Moreover, such an online medal game can be easily played anytime, anywhere, even if it is not an actual machine (amusement machine) in a game center. Therefore, the fact that the free medals Mf can be shared or shared among a plurality of types of online medal games leads to further playing of these online medal games for the player, and the free medals Mf that have been earned and possessed have been acquired. It gives you the opportunity, anticipation, and peace of mind that you can use it for another type of online medal game without wasting it. In other words, for the player, the common use of the free medals Mf means that only one wallet (or medal holding box) is owned by one player when playing a plurality of types of online medal games. Is obtained. Then, in the end, when a new online medal game is added to the lineup, an incentive to try the new game by using the free medals Mf held is also exerted.

It is recognized that the above is also advantageous from the standpoint of the service provider. That is, an item (payable medal Mc) purchased by the player for payment and an item (free medal Mf) acquired based on the game result are separately managed, and the paid and free of the game are balanced. To share or share the free medal Mf among a plurality of online medal game software, it is necessary for the player to play the game concerned (especially, a new game or a game that has not yet gained popularity). If the number of players increases as a result of lowering the threshold (widening the door), the chances of purchasing the charging medal Mc also increase, and as a result, it is likely that the profit will be improved. In addition, if the number of players increases and more users are acquired through word-of-mouth, writing, etc., it can be expected to have a synergistic effect. Moreover, the commonalization or sharing of the free medals Mf between the online game systems as described above is an infrastructure in which a part of the specifications (specifically, the management server 50 as a platform) is standardized or shared. Since it is also constructed, there is an advantage that it is possible to relatively easily increase the types (contents) of game software and meet the needs of the player. Further, in addition, even if an item (for example, a charging medal Mc) is purchased through the online game system, it is impossible to use the charging medal Mc with another game software due to system restrictions or the like. By setting a plurality of types of game value items as in the present embodiment and sharing or sharing one of the items among the game software, movement of the item between the game software (so to speak, other game software) It is possible to take it out).

The above-described embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, although not mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the number of free medals Mf that can be withdrawn from the management server 50 per day can be limited to a certain number (for example, 10,000). This is relatively easy if, for example, there is a lineup of a plurality of online games in which the free medals Mf can be commonly used, and among them is a game in which it is relatively easy to obtain medals (a game called an inflation application or the like). It is possible to obtain a large amount of free medals Mf as a resource in such a game and suppress the action (inflation action) of playing the game to the fullest in another online game using the resource within a certain range.

Further, when there is a lineup of a plurality of online games that can commonly use the free medal Mf, the medal rate may be changed between different games. For example, when there is a degree of difficulty of the game, the number of medals acquired/consumed during the game, the number of required medals set for a predetermined event during the game, etc. It depends on the factors of. As an application example, when the existence of the “inflation application” is recognized as described above, it is possible to change the medal rate in the inflation application. In fact, game software with a high rate (application) tends to be treated as so-called "rich content" in which medals come and go, while game software with a low rate has a high possibility of being played by a player for a long time. Is recognized. In this regard, allowing the game to be selected according to the level of the rate will increase the variety and variety of ways of enjoyment for the player (user), and further increase the operational advantage for the service provider. You can expect to be connected with.

Although not particularly shown, the management server 50 may total the number of free medals Mf deposited for each player, and display the top several players as a ranking. In this case, the ranking may be displayed both on the medal withdrawal screen (see FIGS. 4 and 7) and the medal deposit screen (see FIG. 6), or before or after the withdrawal screen or the deposit screen is displayed. It may be displayed at the time. Since displaying the number of deposited medals in the ranking as described above can be a motivation for obtaining many free medals Mf, the number of players of the online medal game increases and the playing time (time spent in the online game) Can be a material for increasing the

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an online medal game that uses medals as game value items has been described as an example, but the application target of the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of objects other than medals can be used as game value items. Can be shared or shared between online games.

Similarly, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the game value item is the charge medal Mc or the free medal Mf is illustrated, but this is only a suitable example. The game value item may be other than a medal (for example, a “common lottery” or a “common item voucher”), and the point is that it can be exchanged for an economically valued physical object. The game value item and the second game value item given to the player based on the result of the game may be used, and a specific example thereof is not particularly limited.

Moreover, although the online medal games using virtual medals have been described so far, it seems that these online medal games imitate real machines (game machines and amusement machines actually arranged in game centers, etc.). In this case, it is possible to work with these actual machines. This is, for example, when a game event is held at a game center where the actual machine is placed, inform the information of the event through an online game, send location information including access information to the game center, I am interested in the game, such as disseminating the national ranking information on the actual machine, notifying the replacement of the actual machine with a new machine or minor change information, or distributing coupons with discount benefits etc. This applies to the form of using as an information transmission medium or communication tool for players, etc. (excluding the mode in which the actual medal used in the actual machine and the virtual medal online are actually linked). .. Furthermore, regardless of whether or not it is linked to the actual machine, when a common game event is held between a plurality of types of online game software sharing the management server 50, the event information is announced through the online game. Is also possible.
