[Embodiment]
A game system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Explanation of the game>
In the game system 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the server device 2 and the game device 5 are communicably connected to each other via a communication network 6.

The game described in this embodiment is an online game executed by the game system 1. Examples of the game include a puzzle game and an action game, in which the stamina value is consumed as the quest is executed and the game progresses.

Then, the consumed stamina value can be recovered by the passage of time, billing or use of the item.

<Outline of game system 1>
As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes a server device 2 and a plurality of game devices 5. In this embodiment, the case where the game system 1 is a so-called native application is illustrated.

The server device 2 stores a game program and game data, and manages game data of each game device 5 (for each account information below).

The game device 5 executes a predetermined game based on a user's operation. Therefore, the game device 5 receives (specifically, downloads and installs) the game program and the game data from the server device 2 via the communication network 6. The game device 5 also receives (specifically, downloads and installs) the update game program and the game data from the server device 2.

Note that the game apparatus 5 first logs in to the server apparatus 2 when proceeding with the game. Different account information is assigned to each user, and the account information includes identification information (user ID) and password for each user. This account information is transmitted from the game apparatus 5 to the server apparatus 2 via the communication network 6 when logging in.

The server device 2 authenticates the user with respect to the accessed game device 5 based on the transmitted account information.

After the user authentication is completed, the game device 5 can communicate with the server device 2, and the data necessary for the game progress (data about the game progress status) is sent from the server device 2. Upon receiving the data, the game device 5 advances the game while outputting a game image and sound to the display 61 and the speaker 62 based on the user's operation.

As described above, in the game system 1, the server device 2 and the game device 5 are set at a predetermined timing.
Communicate with each other via the communication network 6. As a result, the game progresses while the server device 2 and the game device 5 are synchronized.

<Hardware configuration>
Hereinafter, the hardware configuration of the server device 2 and the hardware configuration of the game device 5 will be described.

<Configuration of server device 2>
The server device 2 has a network interface 21, a storage unit 22, and a control unit 23. The network interface 21 and the storage unit 22 have a bus 29.

The network interface 21 is communicatively connected to each game device 5 via a communication network 6 such as the Internet and a LAN. Through the network interface 21, game data, game programs, etc. are transmitted to the game apparatus 5, and account information is received from the game apparatus 5.

The storage unit 22 includes an HDD, a RAM, a ROM, and the like. Specifically, the storage unit 22 stores account information for collating each user, login history of each user, various programs, and the like. The game data includes information on the progress of the game for each account information (such as the stamina value).

The control unit 23 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU and a semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of each server 2 itself.

<Functional configuration of control unit 23 of server device 2>
The control unit 23 functions as the information processing unit 231, the matching unit 232, the maintenance control unit 233, the distribution unit 234, and the allowable value increasing unit 235 by executing various programs.

The information processing unit 231 transmits/receives data required for distribution of the game program to/from each game device 5. Examples of the data received by the information processing means 231 include download request information and account information. Examples of the data transmitted by the information processing unit 231 include information for confirming whether the game apparatus 5 has received the game program.

The collating unit 232 uses the account information received from the game apparatus 5 to transmit to the game apparatus 5 a user authentication process and an authentication request as to whether the user is in the process of playing a game.

The maintenance control unit 233 performs maintenance-related information creation, maintenance execution, suspension, suspension, termination, and measurement of a predetermined elapsed time from the start of maintenance. Further, the information regarding the maintenance means, for example, advance notice information of the maintenance (scheduled maintenance period, its contents, etc.) or completed maintenance information (the elapsed time, other maintenance results, etc.).

After the information processing unit 231 receives the download request information of the game program and the account information of the user, the distribution unit 234 distributes (transmits) the game program and the game data corresponding to the received account information to the game apparatus 5. Further, the distribution unit 234 sends a response to the login confirmation request received from the collation unit 232 to the server device 2, and the maintenance advance notice information created by the maintenance control unit 233 and the allowable value increase unit 235 described later are added. The stamina value is distributed (transmitted) to the game device 5.

The allowable value increasing means 235 requests the game device 5 to confirm the stamina value. The allowable value increasing unit 235 calculates the stamina value to be added based on the reading of the stamina value stored in the storage unit 22 and the measurement result of the “predetermined elapsed time” by the maintenance control unit 233. That is, the allowance increasing unit 235 calculates the stamina value to be added during the maintenance of the user device 2 according to the time required for the maintenance.

Further, the permissible value increasing means 235 increases the stamina value with the upper limit value (first upper limit value) as a limit with the passage of time during the execution of the game.

Further, when the upper limit value (first upper limit value) of the stamina value is set to a higher upper limit value (second upper limit value) by the setting means 564 described later, the allowable value increasing means 235 sets the stamina value S0 described later. Is greater than or equal to the first upper limit value, the stamina value increase processing is not performed.

<Structure of game device 5>
A display 61, a speaker 62, and a controller 63 are externally connected to or built in the game apparatus 5. In the game device 5, the game progresses based on the game program and the game data received from the server device 2. The game devices 5 can also perform data communication with each other using the communication network 6 or the short-range wireless communication device (not shown).

The game device 5 includes a network interface 51, a graphic processing unit 52, an audio processing unit 53, an operation unit 54, a storage unit 55, and a control unit 56. The network interface 51, the graphic processing unit 52, the audio processing unit 53, the operation unit 54, and the storage unit 55 are electrically connected to the control unit 56 via the bus 59.

The network interface 51 is communicatively connected to the communication network 6 in order to transmit and receive various data between each game device 5 and the server device 2.

The graphic processing unit 52 draws a game image including a player character and various objects related to the game space in a moving image format or a still image format according to the game image information output from the control unit 56. The graphic processing unit 52 is connected to the display 61, and the game image is displayed on the display 61 as a game screen. Further, the graphic processing unit 52 causes the game image to include the change due to the increase or decrease of the stamina value and the upper limit value of the stamina value, and displays the game image on the display 61.

The audio processing unit 53 reproduces and synthesizes a digital game sound according to an instruction from the control unit 56. The audio processing unit 53 is connected to the speaker 62, and the reproduced and synthesized game sound is output from the speaker 62.

The operation unit 54 is connected to the controller 63, and transmits/receives data regarding an operation input to/from the controller 63. For example, the user inputs an operation signal to the game apparatus 5 by operating an operator (not shown) such as a button provided on the controller 63.

The storage unit 55 includes an HDD, a RAM, a ROM and the like. The storage unit 55 can store the game program and the game data downloaded from the server device 2. In addition, the storage unit 55 stores the account information of the user of the own device 5 and the other account information received from the other game device 5 to be transmitted to the other game device 5.

The control unit 56 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU and a semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of the own device 5.

<Functional configuration of control unit 56 of game device 5>
The control unit 56 functions as the communication unit 561, the game execution unit 562, the execution prohibition unit 563, the setting unit 564, and the notification unit 565 by executing the game program.

The communication unit 561 has a function of communicating with the server device 2 via the network interface 51. The communication unit 561 transmits the account information and the download request information for new game data based on the user's operation to the server device 2. The new game data includes the stamina value transmitted to and received from the server device 2.

The game execution means 562 reads data such as game space objects and textures included in the game data and executes the game program to generate two-dimensional or three-dimensional game image information. By processing the game image information by the graphic processing unit 52, the processed game image is displayed on the display 61.

For example, the game execution means 562 controls the start or end of the game in accordance with an operation signal indicating the content of the operation of the controller 63 by the user under the progress of the game. Further, the game execution means 562 consumes the stamina value corresponding to the target quest at the start of the game.

The execution prohibition unit 563 interrupts the game in progress before the start of maintenance according to an instruction from the maintenance control unit 233, and prohibits login by a user operation during the maintenance period. On the other hand, the execution prohibition means 563 releases the prohibition of the login according to the instruction of the maintenance control means 233 after the maintenance is completed and permits the execution of the game.

The setting unit 564 satisfies a predetermined condition as a result of the game being executed by the game executing unit 562 (for example, executing and clearing a quest, charging, or consuming game contents). , The upper limit value of the stamina value is set to a second upper limit value higher than the first upper limit value before the event execution.

The notification means 565 displays the stamina value after maintenance completion, which is calculated by the allowable value increasing means 235 received from the server device 2 after maintenance, on the screen or by sound or both methods, and the display 61 and the speaker 62. To the user via at least one of

<Consumption of stamina value by game executing means and increase processing of stamina value by allowable value increasing means>
Mainly, the stamina value consumption executed by the game executing means 562 and the stamina value increasing processing by the allowable value increasing means 235 will be described in detail.

The stamina value will recover over time during the maintenance period, so the user will advance the game until just before the maintenance starts, reduce the stamina value, and proceed with the stamina value recovered during the maintenance period. The user psychology of making it work works.

However, when the stamina value recovers to the upper limit value, it is not added any more. Therefore, depending on the stamina value immediately before the start of maintenance, the stamina value may recover to the upper limit value during the maintenance period. Then, if the game can be progressed, the stamina value that should be originally obtained cannot be obtained any more, and the user may feel that he/she is losing.

Further, even if the maintenance period is extended for some reason, the stamina value corresponding to the time during which the game cannot be progressed due to the extension is not added, and the user may feel that he/she is losing as described above. is there.

Therefore, the allowable value increasing means 235 according to the present embodiment calculates the stamina value to be added from the start of the maintenance by the maintenance control means 233 to the time when a predetermined time has elapsed, and uses the stamina value as the stamina value at the start of maintenance. Even if the upper limit is exceeded, the process of adding is performed.

FIG. 3 is an example of a screen displayed on the display 61 while the game is in progress. The stamina value is shown as a gauge b1 and a numerical value b2 in the upper part of the screen. The denominator value b21 of the numerical value b2 indicates the stamina upper limit value Sfull, and the numerator value b22 indicates the stamina value S0 when the game progresses. FIG. 3 shows a case where the stamina value S0 is the stamina upper limit value Sfull in the initial state before the execution of the quest.

When the quest is started by the game executing means 562, the stamina value according to the quest is consumed. Hereinafter, the consumed stamina value is referred to as a "quest value". For example, in FIG. 3, the stamina value S0=65, the stamina upper limit value Sfull=65, the quest value=15, and the stamina value S0 after the quest is executed by the game executing means 562 is decreased and displayed as shown in FIG. (S0=50).

As shown in FIG. 5, when the stamina value required to execute the quest by the game execution means 562 is insufficient, the execution processing of the quest by the game execution means 562 is limited, and the user can proceed with the game. Can not. However, the stamina value can be recovered over time or by charging or consuming a stamina value recovery item.

Here, the advance notice image is displayed on the game device 5 in advance before the maintenance of the server device 2 is started (for example, FIG. 8 ). During the period displayed in the notice image, the game device 5 is restricted from logging in to the server device 2, and the user cannot proceed with the game.

However, the allowable value increasing means 235 causes the stamina value to recover during the maintenance period with the lapse of time from the start of the maintenance, and the stamina value S0 is added beyond the stamina upper limit value Sfull even if the stamina value reaches the stamina upper limit value Sfull during the maintenance period. To be done. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the game apparatus 5 logs in to the server apparatus 2 after the maintenance is completed, the stamina value S0=90 (numerator) that exceeds the stamina upper limit value Sfull=65 (denominator value b21) is displayed in the game image. The value b22) is displayed.

Although not shown, when the stamina upper limit value Sfull is increased by the game execution means 562 executing the above-mentioned event during the game progress, that is, the first upper limit value which is the stamina upper limit value before the event execution. When the upper limit value of the stamina value is set to the second upper limit value after the event execution, the stamina upper limit value Sfull (that is, the second upper limit value) after the setting is displayed.

<Regarding the flow of processing performed by the server device 2 and the game device 5>
The flow of processing performed by the server device 2 and the game equipment 5 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8.

First, before maintenance of the server device 2 is performed, maintenance advance notice information created in advance by the maintenance control unit 233 is transmitted (distributed) to the game device 5 by the distribution unit 234. The delivered maintenance notice information is displayed on the display 61 of the logged-in game apparatus 5 as shown in FIG. 8 as an example.

Before the maintenance control unit 233 starts maintenance of the own device 2 (server device), the matching unit 232 makes a login confirmation request to each game device 5 (#1).

When the game apparatus 5 is in the login state (YES in #2), the maintenance control unit 233 of the server apparatus 2 transmits a game interruption instruction to the game apparatus 5 (#3), and the execution prohibition unit 563 of the game apparatus 5 is Forcibly interrupt the game (#4).

After that, the maintenance control means 233 of the server device 2 transmits a login restriction request to the game device 5 (#5), and restricts login so that the user cannot log in to the game during the maintenance period (#6).

The maintenance control means 233 of the server device 2 requests the game device 5 to confirm the stamina value (#7). Upon receiving the stamina value confirmation request, the communication unit 561 of the game apparatus 5 transmits the stamina value S0 at the start of login restriction to the server apparatus 2 (#8). At this time, the stamina value S0 is stored in the storage unit 22 (#9). For example, in FIG. 5, a state in which the stamina value S0 after the start of login restriction is “10” is stored.

With all game devices 5 logged out, the maintenance control unit 233 starts maintenance of the server device 2 (#10) and starts measuring the maintenance time (#11). When the maintenance is completed, the maintenance control means 233 sends a maintenance completion notification to the game device 5 (#12). The execution prohibiting unit 563 of the game apparatus 5 that has received the maintenance completion notification cancels the login restriction (#13).

After that, when the game apparatus 5 logs in to the server apparatus 2 by the user's operation (#14), is the maintenance control unit 233 determined that the login has been performed within a predetermined period of time after the maintenance is completed. A determination is made (#15).

When the login is performed within a certain time (YES in #15), the maintenance control unit 233 measures a predetermined time from the start of maintenance to the login (#16), and stamina. The stamina value for addition Sadd to be added to the value S0 is calculated (#18).

On the other hand, if the login is made after the elapse of the certain time (NO in #15), the maintenance control unit 233 measures a predetermined time from the start of maintenance to the elapse of the certain time (# 17) Then, the stamina value for addition Sadd to be added to the stamina value S0 is calculated based on the time (#18).

Here, the allowable value increasing means 235 reads the stamina value S0 already stored in the storage unit 22, and determines whether or not the stamina value S0 is less than or equal to the stamina upper limit value Sfull value (#19).

When the stamina value S0 is equal to or larger than the stamina upper limit value Sfull (NO in #19), it is not necessary to add the stamina value Sadd for addition to the stamina value S0. Therefore, the stamina value S0 is continuously stored in the storage unit 22 (#24). For example, the stamina upper limit value S
When full is “65” and the stamina value S0 is “65”, the allowable value increasing means 235 does not add the stamina value Sadd for addition to the stamina value S0 “65”, and the storage unit 22 continues to store it. The stamina value S0 "65" is stored.

Here, "the stamina value S0 is equal to or more than the stamina upper limit value Sfull" means that the stamina value S0 is the stamina upper limit value Sfull before the event execution due to the execution of the event by the game executing means 562 described above. The above is the case. In other words, the stamina upper limit value Sfull referred to here is the upper limit value of the stamina value S0 in the default state, that is, the event is not executed, that is, the rank is not upgraded or charged.

When the stamina value S0 is less than the stamina upper limit value Sfull (YES in #19), the allowable value increasing means 235 adds the addition stamina value Sadd calculated in #18 to the stamina value S0 (#20).

Next, the allowable value increasing means 235 determines whether the stamina value S1 after addition in #20 is less than the maximum stamina value Smax (#21).

Here, Smax represents the maximum value of the stamina value after the addition, and the allowable value increasing means 235 does not increase the stamina value beyond Smax. That is, if the stamina value S1 after addition is less than the maximum value Smax (YES in #21), the allowable increase means 235 stores the stamina value S1 after addition in the storage unit 22 (#22). On the other hand, if the added stamina value S1 is greater than or equal to the maximum value Smax (NO in #21), the permissible increase means 235 stores the maximum value Smax in the storage unit 22 instead of the stamina value S1 (#23).

After that, the distribution means 234 of the server device 2 transmits the stamina value (specifically, S1, Smax or S0) stored in #22, #23 or #24 to the game device 5 (#25). The notification means 565 of the game apparatus 5 notifies the stamina value (S1, Smax or S0) received from the server apparatus 2, that is, the stamina value after the maintenance is completed, by the display 61 and the speaker 62, or by any of them (#26). ).

Hereinafter, an example of #21 to #26 will be briefly described. For example, it is assumed that the server device 2 is maintained with the stamina value of the game device 5 shown in FIG. 5 (stamina value S0 “10”). When the stamina value for addition Sadd is calculated as "80" by the maintenance, the stamina value for addition Sadd "80" is added to the stamina value S0 "10", and the displayed stamina value is as shown in FIG. The stamina value S1 after the addition is "90".

At this time, if the maximum value Smax is, for example, “95”, the stamina value S1 after addition is less than the maximum value Smax (S1<Smax), so that #21 is satisfied. Therefore, the added stamina value S1 “90” is transmitted to the game apparatus 5, and the stamina display portion b2 is displayed as “90/65”.

On the other hand, if the maximum value Smax is, for example, “85”, the stamina value S1 after addition exceeds the maximum value Smax (S1>Smax). Therefore, #23 is established, the maximum value Smax “85” is transmitted to the game apparatus 5, and the stamina display portion b2 is displayed as “85/65” (FIG. 7).

To summarize the above, the game program of the present embodiment causes the control unit 56 (computer) of the game apparatus 5 to execute game execution means 562 that executes a game according to a user's operation and server apparatus 2 that manages the game. During the maintenance, the game execution means 562 functions as the execution prohibition means 563 that prohibits the execution of the game, and the control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 is responsive to the execution of the game after the maintenance. The stamina value (game progress allowable value) from which the value is subtracted is allowed to function as the allowable value increasing means 235 which increases the stamina value (game allowable value) beyond the first upper limit value which is the upper limit value during game progress.

<Effect of the invention>
According to the game program of the present embodiment, the execution of the game is prohibited during the maintenance period of the server device 2, but during the maintenance period, the allowable value increasing means 235 adds the stamina value regardless of its upper limit value. Let Therefore, even if the stamina value subtracted by the progress of the game is restored to the upper limit value during the maintenance period, the stamina value is further exceeded and added. Therefore, the dissatisfaction of the user who cannot progress the game during the maintenance period is alleviated.

Further, the allowable value increasing means 235 calculates a stamina value according to a predetermined time from the start of maintenance to the time of login after the end of maintenance as the stamina value for addition. Therefore, even if the user cannot log in immediately after the maintenance ends, the predetermined time until the login is the addition target time of the stamina value for addition. Therefore, the user's dissatisfaction is alleviated as described above.

Further, when the upper limit value of the stamina value is increased by the setting means 564, if the stamina value at the start of maintenance is equal to or higher than the upper limit value before the increase, the allowable value increasing means 235 increases the stamina value during the maintenance period. Do not increase. Therefore, it is possible to fairly compensate for the user's disadvantage that may be caused by the maintenance.

Further, the maximum value of the stamina value after addition is preset in the allowable value increasing means 235. Therefore, similarly to the above, it is possible to fairly compensate the user for the disadvantage of the user that may be caused by the maintenance.

Further, when the server device 2 is logged in after the maintenance is finished, the added stamina value is notified by the display 61 and/or the speaker 62, or by either of them. Therefore, the user can easily recognize the increased stamina value.
