The game server device 2 has a function of providing a game to a user who operates the client device 3. The game provided by the game server device 2 is not particularly limited, and any genre of game such as a role-playing game, an action game, a simulation game, and a sports game can be applied.

The other server device 4 is, for example, a web server device for providing a service different from the game provided by the game server device 2. Examples of services provided by the other server device 4 include EC services such as home appliances, stationery, and clothing. The client device 3 can access another server device 4 via a browser. For example, the user A can log in by accessing the other server device 4 from the client device 3a and entering the ID and password unique to the user A. The client device 3a can browse products such as home appliances, stationery, and clothing, and purchase these products. Further, at this time, in the client device 3a, the user A can design by himself / herself and purchase the designed product.

The design information regarding the product design by the user A is transmitted from the other server device 4 to the game server device 2 together with the identification information for identifying the user A. The game server device 2 can generate a game medium having a design based on the received design information. For example, when the service provided by the other server device 4 is an EC service for clothing, items such as clothing and armor that can be equipped by a user character that can be operated by the user can be generated as a game medium. With such a configuration, the user can purchase the clothes in the real world designed by himself / herself and use the items related to the clothes designed by himself / herself in the game.

For real-world products designed by user A, users B to Z who operate client devices 3b to 3z (corresponding to "other client devices" in the first embodiments 1 to 9) are other users. It is also possible to purchase from the website operated by the server device 4. It is also possible to obtain the game media generated by the game server device 2 based on the design of the user A by lottery on the client devices 3b to 3z operated by the users B to Z. It is also possible to evaluate for ranking creation.

Next, the game medium generation process in the game system according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 20 is a flowchart of a game medium generation process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. User A operates the client device 3a, accesses another server device 4 (web server), and logs in by entering an ID and password (step S101). User A designs clothing (for example, a T-shirt) by himself / herself, and selects a course for purchasing the designed clothing (step S102). At this time, the size of the clothes can also be selected in advance.

The user A designs the pattern and color of the pattern to be attached to the clothing by operating the client device 3a (step S103). When the user A completes the design of the design, the user A presses the design confirmation button to confirm the design (step S104).

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a display screen of a client device corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. The figure shows a display screen 39 of the client device 3 when designing a pattern or color of a pattern to be attached to clothing in step S103. In the center of the display screen 39, the article 50 (clothing) to be designed is displayed. At the bottom of the display screen, a pen button 51, an eraser button 52, a color change button 53, a CLEAR button 54, and a confirmation button 55 are provided in this order from the left side. By selecting each button while moving the cursor 56, the function of each button is activated.

The cursor 56 has a display mode that matches the function of the selected button so that it can be seen which button is selected. In FIG. 26, the cursor 56 has the same display mode as the pen of the pen button 51, and it can be seen that the pen button 51 is selected.

By selecting the pen button 51 and moving the cursor 56, a pattern can be drawn in the article 50. If you want to erase the drawn pattern, use the eraser button 52. If you want to change the color drawn with the pen button 51, you can select the color change button 53 and select the desired color.

If you want to erase the pattern drawn in the article 50 and return it to the initial state, select the CLEAR button 54. Further, when the design is completed and the pattern drawn in the article 50 is confirmed, the confirmation button 55 is selected.

When the design is finalized, the operation information input to the client device 3a or the design information generated based on the operation information is transmitted to the other server device 4 (step S105), and the settlement process is continuously performed. When the payment process is completed, the clothing with the design input by the user A is sent to the address specified by the user A.

Next, the other server device 4 receives the operation information input to the client device 3a or the design information generated based on the operation information (step S106). When the operation information is received from the client device 3a, the design information for transmission to the game server device 2 is also generated. The other server device 4 transmits the design information as well as the identification information capable of identifying the user A who has input the design corresponding to the design information to the game server device 2 (step S107).

The game server device 2 receives the design information transmitted from the other server device 4 and the identification information of the user A (step S108). The game server device 2 specifies the attributes of the game medium according to the design information (step S109).

The attributes of the game medium can be specified based on the color information of each pixel in the design information. For example, based on the R, G, and B density values of all pixels, the average of the R density values, the average of the G density values, and the average of the B density values are calculated, and the calculated values are also calculated. Specify the attributes to and. For example, among the average of the concentration values of R, G, and B, if the largest value is the concentration value of R, the attribute is "fire", and if the largest value is the concentration value of G, it is "tree". It can be an attribute, and when the largest value is the concentration value of B, it can be an attribute of "water".

Next, a game medium that can be used in the game and has a design based on the design information received in step S108 is generated (step S110), and the attribute specified in step S109 is associated with the game medium (step). S111). Examples of the generated game medium include characters, items, cards, and the like appearing in the game.

When designing clothing in step S103, it is possible to design a pattern attached to the front of the clothing. In this case, the design can be designed in a two-dimensional plane shape. When the design is designed in a two-dimensional plane shape, the design information transmitted to the game server device 2 is also two-dimensional data. For example, when the game medium is generated in step S110, a virtual three-dimensional item can be generated based on the design information (two-dimensional data) transmitted from the other server device 4.

For example, a development view in which the surface shape of the three-dimensional model is developed in two dimensions is prepared, and in step S103, the design is edited on the two-dimensional development drawing. For the edited 2D data, by calculating the 3D model data according to the correspondence between the model data of the 3D model and the development drawing, the 3D of the item corresponding to the design of the 2D planar product Model data can be obtained as design information. When the game medium is generated in step S110, the item in the virtual three-dimensional space can be drawn on a plane by performing perspective transformation based on the three-dimensional model data.

FIG. 27 is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between a three-dimensional model corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention and a developed view 62 in which the three-dimensional model is developed in two dimensions. The clothing model represented in three dimensions is cut into molds 62a to 62 for each part (sleeve, body part, etc.) and developed on a flat surface. The correspondence between the three-dimensional clothing model 61 and its developed view 62 is predetermined for each clothing model.

FIG. 28 is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between a polygon and a mold of a three-dimensional model corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 28 (a) shows the mold 62a corresponding to the front surface of the body of the clothing model 61, and FIG. 28 (b) shows the clothing model 61. The clothing model 61 is configured by connecting a plurality of triangular or quadrangular polygons to each other. In FIG. 28 (a), numbers are assigned to each region constituting the mold 62a, and in FIG. 28 (b), numbers are assigned to each polygon constituting the clothing model 61. Areas with the same numbers are associated with polygons. As a result, the design created on the mold 62a represented in two dimensions is reflected on the surface of the clothing model 61 represented in three dimensions.

The type of game medium generated can also be changed according to the product designed in step S103. For example, in step S103, when a design of clothing to be worn on the upper body such as a T-shirt is designed, armor that the character can wear on the upper body can be generated as a game medium and worn on the lower body such as pants. When the design of the clothing for the purpose is designed, the armor that the character can wear on the lower body can be generated as a game medium.

The generated game medium is associated with the account of user A or with the user character controlled by the operation of user A (step S112). The game progresses according to the operation of the user on the client device 3 (step S113). The game progresses according to the attributes associated with the game medium. For example, a "fire" attribute weapon can be more effective against "wood" attribute armor, but less effective than normal "water" attribute armor. Can not do it.

The attribute associated with the game medium in step S109 may be a status such as rarity or rank. By specifying such a status as a game medium, it is possible to urge the user to design a product in order to obtain a game medium with a higher status.

Prior to proceeding with the game in step S113, the user needs to operate the client device 3, access the game server device 2, log in, and then start the game. When logging in to the game server device 2, the same ID and password as when logging in to another server device 4 can be used. It is also possible to use passwords that have the same ID but different passwords. If the IDs are the same, it is possible to specify which user in the game the design information transmitted from the other server device 4 corresponds to. Even if the ID for logging in to the game server device 2 and the ID for logging in to another server device 4 are different, the game medium is generated in step S110 after logging in to the game server device 2. By inputting an ID for logging in to another server device 4, it is possible to specify the design information corresponding to the user.

By the way, the size of the generated game medium may be determined according to the size of the product designed in step S103. For example, if the product designed in step S103 is a T-shirt and its size is "L", the item generated in step S110 is also an item for clothing worn on the upper body of the character. The size can be "L". When the size of the product designed in step S103 is "M", the size of the item generated in step S110 is also "M".

In this case, the characters operated by the user also have different sizes, and the size of the item that can be worn can be determined according to the size of the character. For example, a large-sized character can wear an "L" size item, a medium-sized character can wear an "M" size item, and a small-sized character can wear it. For example, you can wear "S" size items.

Next, the ranking creation process in the game system according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the game provided by the game server device 2, the user A plays a battle with other users B to Z by communication, or plays a cooperative play to fight a common enemy character. Can be done.

During competitive play or cooperative play, users B to Z have an opportunity to see an item or the like for which user A has designed a design, and can evaluate the item or the like by pressing the "good" button or the like. .. It is also possible to hold an event in the game where items designed by oneself are entered, items designed by other users are evaluated and voted.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart of a ranking creation process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. For example, for the item designed by the user A, the evaluation information is input in each of the client devices 3b to 3z operated by the other users B to Z different from the user A (step S121). The input evaluation information is transmitted from each of the client devices 3b to 3z to the game server device 2 (step S122).

The evaluation information transmitted from the client devices 3b to 3z is received by the game server device 2 (step S123), and is stored in the storage means as the evaluation information for creating the ranking (step S124). For example, when a predetermined period determined by the event for creating the ranking elapses, the evaluation information is aggregated for each user or each item (step S125), and the ranking is created (step S126). The created ranking can be viewed by the user. In addition, benefits that can be used in the game can be given to the top ranking players.

Evaluation of items by other users may be divided into a plurality of evaluation items. For example, it is divided into evaluation items such as "cool", "cute", and "interesting". Users B to Z who see the item designed by user A can vote for the item as "cool" or "cute". In this case, the evaluation information is aggregated in step S125 for each evaluation item. The ranking created in step S126 is also created for each evaluation item.

For an item that satisfies a predetermined condition, such as being in the top 10 in the ranking, the status associated with the item is changed according to the evaluation item (step S127). The standard status of the item is set in advance. For example, if the item is in the top 10 for "cool", the "defense power" of the armor item is increased from the standard status, and the item is ranked high for "cute". If it is 10 or less, the "attractiveness" of the armor item can be increased from the standard status. After the status is changed, the game progresses according to the changed status.

Next, the lottery process in the game system according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The items designed by the user A can be acquired by the users B to Z who operate the client devices 3b to 3z by lottery. For example, the user A can set any item among the plurality of items designed by the user A so that another user can acquire the item by lottery. In this case, the user A can be given a privilege such as an in-game currency or another special item in exchange for making the item designed by himself / herself a lottery target.

In addition, the user A is automatically subject to a lottery for items whose ranking satisfies a predetermined condition, particularly items whose status is to be changed in step S127, from among a plurality of items designed by the user A. It can also be configured as follows. In this case, the user A can be given a privilege such as an in-game currency or another special item in exchange for making the item designed by himself / herself a lottery target.

Users B to Z can acquire items that are not designed by themselves by lottery. The lottery may be configured by consuming the in-game currency and points owned by each of the users B to Z, so that each user can perform the lottery only once a day without consuming the in-game currency and points. It can also be configured as such.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the lottery process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. First, the user B operates the client device 3b and inputs the lottery start request (step S131), so that the lottery start request is transmitted from the client device 3b to the game server device 2 (step S132). When the game server device 2 receives the lottery start request (step S133), the in-game currency or points owned by the user B stored in the storage are subtracted (step S134).

Next, the game server device 2 executes a lottery to determine an item to be given to the user B (step S135). The method of determining the items to be given to the user by the lottery is not only the method of determining the items to be given to the user at random from the items to be drawn, but also the rarity (rareness) and rank level for each item. It is also possible to set a predetermined status so that the probability of being selected by lottery differs depending on the rarity and rank / level.

When the lottery is executed in step S135, the determined item is associated with the account of user B or the user character that can be operated by user B in the storage of the game server device 2 (step S136). Then, the result of the lottery is transmitted from the game server device 2 to the client device 3b (step S137). The client device 3b receives the lottery result (step S138) and displays the result on the display screen (step S139).

Next, the purchase process in the game system according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The real-world products designed by the user A can be purchased by the users B to Z who operate the client devices 3b to 3z. Users B to Z can access the other server devices 4 from the client devices 3b to 3z and log in by inputting a unique ID and password for each of the users B to Z. .. In the client devices 3b to 3z, it is possible to browse products such as home appliances, stationery, and clothing, and purchase these products. Among these products, products designed by user A are also included.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the purchase process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. By the operation of the user B, the client device 3b receives a purchase request for purchasing the product designed by the user A (step S141). The received purchase request is transmitted to the other server device 4 (step S142).

When the other server device 4 receives the purchase request from the client device 3b (step S143), the payment process is continuously performed. Payment processing can be performed not only in real currency, which is treated as currency in the real world, but also in-game currency that can be purchased in real currency. When the payment process is completed, the clothing with the design input by the user A is sent to the address specified by the user B.

The purchase information regarding the purchase of the product designed by the user A by other users such as the users B to Z, or the purchase-related information obtained by processing the purchase information can identify the user A. It is transmitted to the game server device 2 together with the identification information (step S144). The game server device 2 receives the purchase information or the purchase-related information and the identification information of the user A (step S145), and stores the purchase information or the purchase-related information received for each user in the storage.

When the stored purchase information and / or purchase-related information satisfy a predetermined condition, the privilege is given to the user A or the user character that can be operated by the user A (step S146). The predetermined conditions can be appropriately set. For example, at least one of the goods designed by the user has been purchased, at least a predetermined number of goods have been purchased, the total amount of goods purchased is greater than or equal to the predetermined amount, and / or the goods. Can be a predetermined condition that the product has been purchased by the same other user at least a predetermined number of times.

Next, the game medium acquisition process in the game system according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 24 is a flowchart of a game medium acquisition process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. Users B to Z operating the client devices 3b to 3z can acquire the item designed by the user A in exchange for the in-game currency owned by each user B to Z. The user A can receive the in-game currency from the user who acquired the item in exchange for handing over the item designed by the user to another user.

The user A can operate the client device 3a and set the item designed by the user A so that the item can be sold. First, when the client device 3a receives the sale request of the item designed by the user A (step S151), the sale request is transmitted to the game server device 2 (step S152). The client device 3a can also set the amount of in-game currency that the user A can receive from the other party by selling. The sale request transmitted to the game server device 2 in step S152 also includes information regarding the amount of in-game currency that the user A can receive. If the item sale request is transmitted in step S152, the item cannot be used in the client device 3a.

When the game server device 2 receives the item sale request (step S153), the game server device 2 stores information about the item to be sold in the storage (step S154). Next, the game server device 2 generates browsing information so that the user can browse information about the item to be sold (step S155).

For example, when the client device 3b operated by the user B transmits a browsing request for browsing the item to be sold to the game server device 2, the browsing information is transmitted from the game server device 2 to the client device 3b (step). S156). When the browsing information is received by the client device 3b (step S157), the display device of the client device 3b displays information about the item and browsing information such as the amount of in-game currency that the user A can receive by selling. (Step S158).

When the user B confirms the information about the item displayed in step S158 and determines that he / she wants to acquire the item, the user A operates the client device 3b to request the acquisition of the item generated by the user A. Enter. When the client device 3b receives the acquisition request (step S159), the acquisition request is transmitted to the game server device 2 (step S160). When the game server device 2 receives the acquisition request for the game medium (step S161), the in-game currency owned by the user B is deducted from the in-game currency in an amount corresponding to the in-game currency that the user A can receive (step S161). S162). Further, the item is associated with user B (step S163), and the item can be used. In step S163, the item is associated with the user B, and the association with the user A is canceled. Further, for the in-game currency owned by the user A, an amount corresponding to the in-game currency that the user A can receive is added (step S164).

Next, a new game medium generation process in the game system according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 25 is a flowchart of a new game medium generation process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. The generation of a new game medium is to generate a new game medium that is an evolution of one game medium based on one game medium and a game medium as a "material", so-called "synthesis". Corresponds to this.

First, in the game server device 2, the game medium designed and generated by the user by the operation of the user A to the client device 3a is set as the game medium that is the basis of "synthesis" (step S171). Next, it is determined whether or not the set number of times of synthesizing the game medium is less than a predetermined number of times (step S172). If the number of times of synthesis of the set game medium is less than the predetermined number (YES in step S172), it is allowed to set as the game medium that is the basis of the synthesis, and the game medium that is the "material" is set. It becomes possible. When the set number of times of synthesizing the game medium has reached the predetermined number of times (NO in step S172), it cannot be the target of synthesizing, and an error is displayed on the display screen of the client device 3a. (Step S173). The maximum number of times that can be synthesized based on the game medium generated by the user can be set higher than the maximum number of times that can be synthesized based on the normal game medium.

Next, the game medium to be the "material" is set by the operation of the user A on the client device 3a (step S174). Then, when the "composite" button displayed on the display screen of the client device 3a is pressed, the composition is performed and a new game medium is generated (step S175).

It is preferable that the newly generated game medium has a status different from that of the underlying game medium. For example, the newly generated game medium can significantly increase the stats such as physical strength, offensive power, and defensive power of the basic game medium. It is also possible to resynthesize the newly generated game medium as a basic game medium. By repeating the synthesis in this way, the rarity and rank of the game medium increase.

When the number of times of synthesis of the basic game medium is equal to or more than a predetermined number of times, the design of the newly generated game medium can be changed. In this case, it is possible to change the design to a completely different design from the design of the basic game medium, and it is also possible to make the design by superimposing a predetermined pattern on the design of the basic game medium.

In step S175, a new game medium is generated, and the basic game medium and the game medium as the material are disassociated from the user A and disappear (step S176). Then, the newly generated game medium is associated with the user A (step S177).
