Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a terminal device 11 used by a plurality of users, and a server device 12 for providing a game to the terminal device 11. The terminal device 11 and the server device 12 can communicate with each other via a wired or wireless network 13. The terminal device 11 and the server device 12 are information processing devices such as a mobile phone or a computer.

First, an outline of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment is a game in which a player plays against a predetermined opponent using individual game media owned by the user. In the present embodiment, the game medium will be described as an in-game card, but may be any medium in the game, such as an in-game character, weapon, armor, or item. The game according to the present embodiment has two battle methods, a normal battle and a special battle.

The normal battle is a battle method in which a reward such as a game medium or an in-game currency can be obtained by playing against a predetermined opponent or capturing an in-game mission (quest).

A special match is, for example, a match played using a plurality of game media acquired in a normal match.
Includes two matches, a first match and a second match. Special battles are implemented as, for example, limited-time events.

The first match is a match between users (for example, a first user and a second user), for example, in real time. Hereinafter, the outline of the first battle according to the present embodiment will be described. First, a predetermined value of points (battle points) is given to each user. The user selects a command to be executed from a plurality of commands (actions). The selected command is executed by consuming a predetermined value of battle points associated with the command.
For example, the executed command damages the opponent user. After the start of the battle, the user who has caused more damage wins after a predetermined time has passed.
Hereinafter, the process of performing the first battle described above is referred to as the first process. Further, each user can execute, for example, a normal battle in parallel even during the continuation of the first battle. The user can obtain additional battle points as a reward, for example, by performing a normal battle.

The second match is a match between a plurality of users and an opponent common to the plurality of users. The second match will be played after the victory or defeat of the first match has been decided. A common opponent is, for example, a character (NPC; Non-Player Charact) automatically operated by the server device 12.
er). In the second match, a plurality of users including the user (first user and second user) who played the first match is defined as a user (participating user) who can participate in the second match.

The outline of the second battle according to the present embodiment will be described. Participating users participate in the second battle, for example, by consuming a predetermined value of points (attack points). The user
Select the command you want to execute from multiple commands (actions), such as attack, skill, and magic. When the selected command is executed, the opponent is damaged. Opponents, for example, act automatically to damage participating users. Participating users and opponents damage each other and reduce a predetermined parameter of the opponent, for example, a parameter (HP) indicating physical strength or the like.

For example, if the HP of the opponent is reduced to zero by the time when the predetermined time elapses after the opponent is determined, that is, if the opponent is defeated, the participating user succeeds in defeating the opponent. Preferably, if the opponent is successfully defeated, a reward such as a game medium or in-game currency is given to the participating user. The game medium acquired by the user in the special battle may be used not only in the special battle but also in the normal battle. On the other hand, if the HP of the opponent is greater than zero at the lapse of a predetermined time, the participating user fails to subdue the opponent.

Moreover, when the HP of each participating user decreases to zero, the participating user is defeated. The defeated participating user can recover the HP by consuming a predetermined item or battle point, for example, and return to the battle with the opponent until a predetermined time elapses from the appearance of the opponent. In addition, the defeated participating user can request other users with a predetermined association to participate in the second match. Here, the predetermined association is, for example, friend registration through a friend request performed between users, registration of a group composed of a plurality of users in order to play against an enemy, and the like. Hereinafter, the process of performing the above-mentioned second battle is referred to as a second process. Further, each user can execute, for example, a normal battle in parallel even during the continuation of the second battle. The user can obtain additional attack points as a reward, for example, by performing a normal battle.

Next, each component of the communication system 10 will be described. The terminal device 11 includes a terminal communication unit 14, a display unit 15, and a terminal control unit 16.

The server communication unit 17 transmits / receives information to / from the terminal device 11.

The storage unit 18 stores the user information 25. The user information 25 is information unique to each user of the communication system 10, and includes various information used for the progress of the game. User information 25
Includes owned card information, deck information, level information, friend user information, and battled user information in association with the user ID, which is a user identifier, for example, as shown in FIG. It may contain any other information.

Owned card information is information on all cards owned by the user. Each card is associated with a predetermined parameter indicating the strength of the card itself. The card of this embodiment includes five parameters of "HP", "AT", "DF", "attack", "skill", and "magic". "HP", "AT", and "DF" are parameters indicating the physical strength, offensive power, and defensive power of the card, respectively. "Attack", "skill", and "magic" are the first
This is a parameter defined in the content of the command that can be selected by the user in the battle or the second battle.

The deck information is information about a plurality of cards (deck) automatically or selected by the user among all the cards owned by the individual user. The deck information includes seven pieces of information, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, "deck list", "total HP", "total AT", "total DF", "attack", "skill", and "magic". However, it is not limited to these.

The "deck list" is information indicating the cards contained in the deck. The "deck list" contains, for example, an identifier that can identify each card contained in the deck. "Total HP",
"Total AT" and "Total DF" are the parameters (HP, AT) of the cards included in the deck.
, DF). “Attack”, “skill”, and “magic” are the “attack”, “skill”, and “magic” associated with at least some of the cards in the deck.
"Magic" parameters. The "Total HP", "Total AT", "Total DF", "Attack", "Skill", and "Magic" parameters included in the deck information are the first match and / or In the second battle, it is used, for example, to calculate the amount of damage given to the opponent or the amount of recovery of physical strength.

The level information indicates the strength of the user in the game. For example, the higher the level value, the more
Indicates that the user is strong. The level information may be an arbitrary index indicating the strength of the user, for example, the type or number of titles (ranks) acquired by the user according to the progress of the game.

The friend user information is information indicating another user (friend user) having a predetermined association with the user corresponding to the user ID. For example, in the friend user information shown in FIG. 2, the user with the user ID "user001" has the user IDs "user003" and "user".
004 ”users are associated with each other. On the other hand, the friend user information indicates that the user with the user ID“ user002 ”is not associated with any user. The user and the friend user are communication systems. In 10, for example, exchange such as sending and receiving a message is possible or easy.

The battled user information is information indicating the user ID of another user who has played the first battle in the past by the corresponding user. For example, the battled user information shown in FIG. 2 is the user ID “us.
It indicates that the user of "er001" has played the first battle with the user of the user ID "user010" in the past. On the other hand, the battled user information is from the user ID "user002" to "user002".
Indicates that each user of "user004" has not played the first match in the past.

The user determination unit 19 shown in FIG. 1 notifies a plurality of terminal devices 1 of a request to start a first battle.
When acquired from 1, the first user and the second user who play the first match are determined from the combination of the users of the terminal device 11 who has given the notification. Preferably, the user determination unit 19 preferentially determines a first user and a second user from a combination of users satisfying a predetermined condition. For example, the user determination unit 19 determines a first user and a second user from a combination of users excluding a combination of users having a predetermined association. Further, for example, the user determination unit 19 determines a first user and a second user from a combination of users whose level information substantially matches. For example, when the level difference between users is equal to or less than a predetermined value, it is determined that the level information substantially matches. Further, for example, the user determination unit 19 selects the first user and the second user from the combination of users excluding the combination of the users who have played the first battle in the past based on the battled user information included in the user information 25. Determine the user of. The user determination unit 19 may use the above conditions in combination. The predetermined conditions are not limited to the above-mentioned specific examples, and may be arbitrarily determined.

Here, for example, when there is only one terminal device 11 that has notified the request to start the first battle, or when there is no set of users who satisfy a predetermined condition, the first user and the first user. It is conceivable that the user of 2 cannot be determined. In such a case, the user determination unit 19
For example, a first user and a second user may be determined including a virtual user in the game. The virtual user is generated and controlled by, for example, the server control unit 24. Alternatively, the user determination unit 19 sends a predetermined third to the terminal device 11 that has notified the request to start the first battle.
You may start the match. The third match is, for example, a match between a user and an NPC.

Further, when the first user is defeated in the second match, the user determination unit 19 determines one or more third users from a plurality of users. Preferably, the user determination unit 19 preferentially determines, for example, a third user a user who satisfies a predetermined condition from a plurality of users. For example, the user determination unit 19 determines a user other than a user having a predetermined association with the second user as the third user. Further, for example, the user determination unit 19 determines a user who has a predetermined association with the first user as the third user. The user determination unit 19 may use the above conditions in combination. The predetermined conditions are not limited to the above-mentioned specific examples, and may be arbitrarily determined.

The user registration unit 20 transmits a display instruction of the association application screen described later to at least one of the terminal device 11 of the first user and the terminal device 11 of the second user. Preferably, the user registration unit 20 transmits a display instruction of the association application screen after the completion of the second process. When the user registration unit 20 obtains an instruction notifying an application for a predetermined association from at least one of the terminal device 11 of the first user and the terminal device 11 of the second user, the user registration unit 20 sends the application to the terminal device of the other user. Notify 11 When the user registration unit 20 obtains a response (agreement) to the application from the terminal device 11 of the other user, the user registration unit 20 associates the first user with the second user. The user registration unit 20 updates the friend user information of each of the first user and the second user included in the user information 25 stored in the storage unit 18 by using the user ID of the associated user. The association may be a one-way association or a two-way association.

Similarly, the user registration unit 20 may, for example, after the completion of the second process, the terminal device 1 of the second user.
A display instruction of the association application screen is transmitted to at least one of the terminal devices 11 of the first and third users. When the user registration unit 20 obtains an instruction notifying an application for a predetermined association from at least one of the terminal device 11 of the second user and the terminal device 11 of the third user, the user registration unit 20 sends the application to the terminal device of the other user. Notify 11 When the user registration unit 20 obtains a response (agreement) to the application from the terminal device 11 of the other user, the user registration unit 20 associates the second user with the third user. The user registration unit 20 updates the friend user information of each of the first user and the second user included in the user information 25 stored in the storage unit 18 by using the user ID of the associated user.

The reward giving unit 21 grants a reward such as a game medium or an in-game currency to a predetermined user. For example, when the victory or defeat is determined in the first match, the reward giving unit 21 gives a reward to the user who won the first match, or to both the winning user and the defeated user. The reward giving unit 21 may determine the content of the reward given to each user, for example, based on the level information of the first user and the second user, or the result of winning or losing.

Further, when the participating user succeeds in defeating the opponent in the second battle, the reward giving unit 21 gives a reward to each user who participated in the second battle. The reward giving unit 21 may give a reward to each user who participated in the second battle even if the participating user fails to subdue the opponent.
The reward giving unit 21 may determine the content of the reward given to each user according to, for example, the degree of activity of each user, the strength of the opponent, the success or failure of subjugation, and the like. The degree of activity of the user is judged to be high, for example, when the total value of the damage done by the user to the opponent is large, or when the user makes an attack that is the decisive factor for defeating the opponent. .. For example, the higher the degree of activity, the stronger the opponent, or the more successful the subjugation, the more game media or more valuable game media are set as rewards.

When the server control unit 24 transmits a display instruction of the first battle screen, which will be described later, to the terminal device 11 of each user, the first processing unit 22 performs the first processing. The first process is, for example, a process based on a command acquired from the terminal device 11 of the first user or the terminal device 11 of the second user, and a process result and a screen display / update instruction based on the process result of each user. It includes a process of transmitting to the terminal device 11. The processing based on the command is, for example, the calculation of the damage given to the opponent by the command and the integrated value of the damage, or the calculation of the battle points reduced by executing the command.

Then, for example, when a predetermined time elapses, the first processing unit 22 ends the first processing, and the first processing unit 22 finishes the first processing.
Determine the outcome of the match. For example, the server control unit 24 sets the server control unit 24 at a time when a predetermined time has elapsed.
It is determined that the user who inflicts more damage on the opponent, that is, the user who has a large cumulative value of the damage inflicted on the opponent wins.

When the server control unit 24 transmits a display instruction of the second battle screen, which will be described later, to the terminal device 11 of each participating user, the second processing unit 23 performs the second processing. The second process is, for example, a process based on a command acquired from the terminal device 11 of each participating user, and a process of transmitting a process result and a display / update instruction of a display screen based on the process result to the terminal device 11 of each participating user. ,including. The processing based on the command is, for example, the calculation of the damage given to the opponent by the command, the calculation of the damage given to the participating user by the action of the opponent, the detection of the defeat of the participating user or the opponent, or the attack points reduced by executing the command. Calculation etc.

Here, when the second processing unit 23 detects the defeat of the first user (for example, the HP of the first user is zero) during the second processing, the terminal device 11 of the first user will be described later. Send instructions to display the rescue request screen. When the server control unit 24 obtains an instruction from the terminal device 11 of the first user to notify the third user of the request to participate in the second battle, the server control unit 24 notifies the third user of the request. When the second processing unit 23 acquires the response to the request from the terminal device 11 of the third user, the second processing unit 23 adds the third user to the participating users.

Then, if the second processing unit 23 detects the defeat of the opponent before, for example, the predetermined time elapses, the second processing unit 23 ends the second processing and determines that the participating user has succeeded in defeating the opponent. On the other hand, if the HP of the opponent is larger than zero at the time when the predetermined time elapses, the second processing unit 23 ends the second processing and determines that the participating user has failed to subdue the opponent.

The server control unit 24 controls the operation of the entire server device 12. In addition, the server control unit 24
Executes the process of performing a normal battle.

Further, when the user determination unit 19 determines the first user and the second user, the server control unit 24 transmits a display instruction of the first battle screen, which will be described later, to the terminal device 11 of each user.

In addition, the server control unit 24 determines a plurality of participating users including the first user and the second user who have played the first battle. The server control unit 24 may determine a plurality of participating users including any user in addition to the first user and the second user. The server control unit 24 determines an opponent common to the participating users. The opponent is, for example, an NPC and acts under the control of the server control unit 24. The strength of the opponent may be determined based on, for example, the level information of the participating users or the number of times the opponent has been defeated in the past. For example, the higher the level information value or the more subjugation times, the stronger the opponent. Strengthening an opponent means, for example, setting an opponent's parameter (for example, HP, AT, or DF) to a higher value. For example, after determining the outcome of the first battle, the server control unit 24 transmits a display instruction on the opponent display screen, which will be described later, to the terminal device 11 of the participating user. Server control unit 2
For example, after transmitting the display instruction of the opponent display screen, the fourth transmits the display instruction of the second battle screen, which will be described later, to the terminal device 11 of each participating user.

Next, various game screens displayed on the display unit 15 of the terminal device 11 will be described.
