Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it should be noted that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to those embodiments and extends to the inventions described in the claims and their equivalents.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a battle game realized by cooperation between a plurality of mobile terminals and a terminal game program possessed by each mobile terminal. Hereinafter, the battle game provided by the plurality of mobile terminals of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

In the present embodiment, the player operates the mobile terminal 2a owned by the player to execute a battle game in which the character of the player and the character of another player have a cooperative relationship. Hereinafter, the player itself is referred to as an own player, a character possessed by the own player is referred to as an own character, a player other than the own player is referred to as another player, and a character possessed by the other player is referred to as another character. It should be noted that the plurality of other players operate the mobile terminals 2b, 2c, ... Owned by each other player to execute the battle game by each other character. Hereinafter, the mobile terminals 2a, 2b, and 2c may be simply referred to as the mobile terminal 2.

In the battle game, the own character and one or more other characters are movably arranged in the same battle game space, and play against one or more enemy characters existing in this battle game space. During the battle, the own character and the other character perform normal actions according to the operations of the own player and the other player. HP is associated with each of the own character, other characters, and enemy characters, and the HP of each character increases or decreases according to the action of the opponent's character, and as a result of the battle, the HP becomes a predetermined value (for example, 0 (zero)). ) The following characters will be incapacitated or defeated. The HP is an example of a physical strength parameter or a life parameter for each character to continue the battle game.

Normal actions are actions such as attack, defense, use of items, and activation of skills performed by each character, and affect the enemy character, own character, and / or other characters in the battle. Attack is an action that reduces the HP associated with an enemy character. The defense is an action of reducing the amount of HP reduction when the enemy character receives an action of reducing the HP associated with the own character. The item is a recovery item that increases the HP associated with your character or another character, an attack item that reduces the HP associated with the enemy character, and an HP that reduces the HP associated with your character. It is a defensive item that reduces the amount of reduction. Skills are special abilities owned by each character and / or special abilities learned during the battle game, attack magic that reduces the HP associated with the enemy character, and more HP associated with the enemy character than attack magic. A special move to reduce, or a recovery magic to increase the HP associated with your character and other characters. Each character consumes the MP (magic point) possessed by each character to activate the skill. The MP is an example of an activation parameter consumed to activate a specific action such as a skill. The normal action is an example of the first action.

Before the start of the battle game, the own player teams up with two other players out of a plurality of players. Each player requests the cooperation of the battle game from the other player by the own player, the cooperation request of the battle game by the other player to the own player, or the other character existing in the game space different from the battle game space by the own character. You can form a team by inviting them to. When the battle game is started, the own character and other characters belonging to the team play against one or more enemy characters existing in the game space. The number of team members is not limited to three.

In the battle game, the skill of the own character and the skill of the other character are activated according to the input instructions of the own player and the other player, and points are stored based on the activated skill. For example, if a skill such as attack magic of your character or another character is activated once and the skill hits an enemy character (for example, it succeeds in reducing the HP associated with the enemy character), it depends on the skill. 1 point is stored. In this case, if the own player hits the skill three times and the other player hits the skill five times during the battle game, a total of eight points accumulated according to these skills are stored. Hereinafter, the points accumulated and stored may be referred to as accumulated points. The points may be memorized when a normal action other than the skill is performed. For example, every time the attack by the own character or another character is successful, one point is stored, and the accumulated accumulated points are stored according to the number of successful attacks of each character. Further, depending on the type of skill, the amount of points stored may be changed according to the activation of one skill. For example, when a high-level skill is activated once, a higher point amount (for example, 3 points) is stored than when a low-level skill is activated. In addition, points may be accumulated according to the activation of the skill or the execution of the attack.

The mobile terminal 2a of the own player and the mobile terminals 2b and 2c of the other player share the accumulated points and display the accumulated points in real time ((A) in FIG. 1). The display of the cumulative points by the mobile terminals 2a, 2b, and 2c is displayed by the gauge (B). The gauge is a bar graph having a length corresponding to the accumulated points, for example, displaying the accumulated points up to 10 points. The 10 points, which is the upper limit of the points that can be displayed by the gauge, is an example of a predetermined value.

The mobile terminal 2a of the own player and the mobile terminals 2b and 2c of the other player determine whether or not the accumulated points are stored 10 points or more. When 10 or more accumulated points are stored, the own player and other players can activate the special skill (C). The special skill is an example of the second action. The second action is an action that has a greater effect on the enemy character, the own character, and / or another character than the first action. For example, the special skill is a special attack magic that reduces the HP associated with the enemy character more than when a skill such as attack magic is activated, or a recovery magic that recovers the HP associated with the own character and other characters. It is a special recovery magic that increases more than when skills such as are activated. Also, for example, a special attack is an action that reduces the HP associated with an enemy character more than when the attack is executed.

When it becomes possible to activate the special skill, the mobile terminal 2a and the mobile terminals 2b and 2c display a special skill activation button for activating the special skill. When either the own player or another player first selects the special skill activation button (D), the time when the special skill activation is instructed is stored. The special skill activation button is an example of an operation button. Next, a specific period (for example, 5 seconds) from the time when the special skill is instructed to be activated is set as the cooperation acceptance period. Hereinafter, the player who first selects the special skill activation button may be referred to as the activation player.

Next, it is determined whether or not the cooperation player has instructed to activate the special skill during the cooperation acceptance period. The cooperating player is a player other than the activated player among the own player and other players. When the cooperating player selects the special skill activation button displayed on the cooperating player's mobile terminal 2 (E), it is determined that the cooperating player has instructed to activate the special skill. Each cooperating player can select the special skill activation button displayed on the cooperating player's mobile terminal 2 once during the cooperation acceptance period. The maximum number of times (for example, 3 times) that the special skill activation button can be selected during the cooperation acceptance period may be set in advance for each cooperation player. In this case, each cooperating player can select the special skill activation button up to the maximum number of times during the cooperating acceptance period. In addition, the total maximum number of times for each cooperative player who can select the special skill activation button during the cooperation acceptance period is set in advance, and each cooperative player activates the special skill until the total maximum number of times is reached during the cooperation acceptance period. You may be able to select a button.

The effect of the special skill changes according to the number of times the special skill activation button of the cooperating player is selected during the cooperating acceptance period (F). The effect of the special skill is the degree of influence on the enemy character, the own character and / or another character, for example, the amount of damage to the enemy character, the amount of recovery of the damage of the own character and the other character, and the like. The greater the number of selections, the greater the amount of damage or recovery.

Then, when the cooperation acceptance period ends, the special skill instructed to be activated by the invoking player is activated with the changed effect.

In this way, when the cooperating player cooperates or agrees with the activation of the special action of the activating player, the effect of the special action can be changed. This makes it possible to influence the cooperation or approval intention of the cooperating player on the effect of the special action. In addition, since a lot of cooperation or approval can be obtained from cooperating players, it is possible to realize a battle game that requires each player to take a strategy so as to activate a special action at an appropriate stage in the progress of the battle game. It is possible to improve the fun of the game.

Similar to the battle game screen 910 in FIG. 9B, the battle game screen 1000 shows the own character 1001, a certain range of battle game space around the own character 1001, and enemies existing in the certain range of battle game space. The character 1002, the gauge 1003, and the guide figure A are displayed.

The battle game screen 1000 is divided into a circular region B1, a first angle region B2, and a second angle region B3 by the guide figure A, and is different for each of the circular region B1, the first angle region B2, and the second angle region B3. Action input instructions are associated. For example, the circular area B1 is associated with an attack input instruction, the first angle area B2 is associated with a skill activation input instruction, and the second angle area B3 is associated with a defense input instruction. It is attached.

When the guide figure A is displayed, the player taps any of the circular area B1, the first angle area B2, and the second angle area B3, and the player taps the battle game screen 1000 designated by the tap operation. An action associated with the area including the designated position 1004 is input-instructed, and the input-instructed action is performed. In FIG. 10B, since the designated position 1004 is included in the first angle region B2, the activation of the skill associated with the first angle region B2 is instructed to be input. The designated position 1004 is an example of the second position. In this way, the skill activation input instruction can be made by the relative relationship between the first position (designated position 904, etc. in FIG. 9A) and the second position (designated position 1004, etc. in FIG. 10B). Skills can be activated with intuitive and simple operations.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of a mobile terminal 20 that gives an input instruction of a skill based on a position designation. In FIG. 11, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the mobile terminal 2 shown in FIG. 3, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The mobile terminal 20 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal storage unit 22, an operation unit 23, a display unit 24, and a terminal processing unit 250. The terminal processing unit 25 includes at least a battle game execution unit 251, a cumulative unit 252, a cooperation unit 253, an activation unit 254, and an input processing unit 255. Hereinafter, the function of the input processing unit 255 will be described. Since the battle game execution unit 251 and the cumulative unit 252, the cooperation unit 253, and the activation unit 254 are the same as those shown in FIG. 3, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the input processing unit 255, the operation unit 23 composed of a pointing device such as a touch panel is tapped by the player, specifies a designated position on the battle game screen designated by the tap operation, and is based on the specified designated position. Take action.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow of input instruction processing by the input processing unit 255.

First, the input processing unit 255 specifies a designated position on the battle game screen designated by tapping the operation unit 23 by the own player (step S301). Next, the input processing unit 255 determines whether or not the guide figure is displayed on the battle game screen (step S302).

Next, when it is determined that the guide figure is not displayed (step S302-No), the input processing unit 255 selects an attack as the action of the own character, executes the attack (step S303), and steps S308. Proceed to the process.

Further, when it is determined that the guide figure is displayed (step S302-Yes), the input processing unit 255 determines whether or not the designated position specified in step S301 is included in the circular region (step S304). ).

Next, when it is determined that the designated position is included in the circular region (step S304-Yes), the input processing unit 255 proceeds to the process in step S303. On the other hand, when it is determined that the designated position is not included in the circular region (step S304-No), the input processing unit 255 determines whether or not the designated position specified in step S301 is included in the first angle region. (Step S305).

Next, when it is determined that the designated position is included in the first angle region (step S305-Yes), the input processing unit 255 selects the activation of the skill as the action of the own character and activates the skill (step). S306), the process proceeds to step S308. On the other hand, when it is determined that the designated position is not included in the first angle region (step S305-No), the input processing unit 255 selects defense as the action of the own character and executes the defense (step S307). , Step S308.

Next, the input processing unit 255 deletes the guide figure when the guide figure is displayed. Then, the input processing unit 255 newly creates a guide figure based on the designated position specified in step S301, displays the created guide figure on the battle game screen (step S308), and ends a series of steps. do.

As described above, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player can easily give an input instruction for the next plurality of actions based on the tap operation immediately before. As a result, the player can intuitively give an input instruction without checking the user interface for operation input, so that the operability of the battle game can be improved.

In addition, by associating an action such as an attack that requires continuous operation (continuous hitting) with the circular area B1 centered on the designated position, continuous operation can be performed while displaying the guide figure, and the operation of the battle game can be performed. It is possible to improve the sex. The number of angle regions divided by the guide figure A may be larger than this.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram for explaining another example of the guide figure A.

The guide figure A is a circle figure A1 that defines a circle area B1 centered on a designated position, a first line figure A2 located on a first straight line passing through a designated position, and a second line figure A2 located on a second straight line passing through a designated position. It is composed of a two-line figure A3, a third line figure A4 located on a third straight line passing through a designated position, and a fourth line figure A5 located on a fourth straight line passing through a designated position. The battle game screen has a circle area B1, a first angle area B2, a second angle area B3, and a second line figure A1, a first line figure A2, a second line figure A3, a third line figure A4, and a fourth line figure A5. It is divided into a three-angle region B4 and a fourth angle region B5. The first angle region B2 is a region having an angle A6, the second angle region B3 is a region having an angle A7, the third angle region B4 is a region having an angle A8, and the fourth angle region B5 is a circle. It is a region other than the region B1, the first angle region B2, the second angle region B3, and the third angle region B4. In this way, by increasing the number of angle regions, even if the number of actions associated with the angle regions increases, the angle regions can be appropriately increased, so that the operability of the battle game can be improved. Will be.

The input processing unit 255 may change the size of the angles A6 to A8 according to the state of the character of the player. For example, when the input processing unit 255 is associated with the input instruction for activating the skill in the angle region B2, the larger the amount of MP of the player character, the larger the angle A6. As a result, the smaller the MP, the smaller the angle region B2, and it becomes possible to prevent the skill that consumes the MP from being erroneously activated. Further, when the input processing unit 255 is associated with the defense input instruction in the angle region B3, the smaller the amount of HP of the player character, the larger the angle A7. As a result, the smaller the amount of HP, the larger the angle region B3. Therefore, when the amount of HP is small, the selection of defense that suppresses the decrease in HP due to the opponent's attack is promoted, and erroneous input of actions other than defense is prevented. It will be possible to prevent it.

The input processing unit 255 may change the size of each area according to the operation history of the player. For example, when the circular area B1 is associated with an input instruction for an attack that requires continuous operation (continuous hitting), the input processing unit 255 determines that when the number of repeated hits in the immediately preceding 3 seconds exceeds a predetermined number, the circular area B1 Increase B1. This makes it possible to prevent erroneous input of repeated hits by the player.

When the plurality of actions associated with each area of the guide figure A have a hierarchical data structure such as a tree structure, the input processing unit 255 may execute input instruction processing using the guide figure step by step. .. Hereinafter, the input instruction processing using the guide figure stepwise will be described.

FIG. 14A is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a plurality of actions having a hierarchical data structure. For example, as a higher hierarchy, major classification items that classify actions into skills, attacks, defenses, and the like are set. Next, as a middle level, a middle classification item that classifies skills into attack type, defense type, and the like is set. Then, as a lower hierarchy, for example, a sub-classification item in which the attack system of the skill is classified into a fire attribute skill, a water attribute skill, and the like is set. Each sub-category item in the lower hierarchy is the action that is the target of the input instruction.

FIG. 14B is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of input instruction processing using guide figures step by step. The guide figure A divides the battle game screen into a circular area B1 centered on the first designated position, a first angle area B2, a second angle area B3, and a third angle area B4. For example, the first angle area B2 is associated with the "skill" of the upper hierarchy major classification items, and the second angle region B3 is associated with the "attack" of the upper hierarchy major classification items. There is.

When the local player taps the first angle area B2 while the guide figure A is displayed, the guide figure A-1 is displayed. The guide figure A-1 displays the battle game screen on the circular area B1-1 centered on the second designated position, the first angle area B2-1, the second angle area B3-1, and the third angle area B4-. Divide into 1. For example, the first angle region B2-1 is associated with the "attack system" of the middle class items in the middle hierarchy, and the second angle area B3-1 is the "attack system" of the middle class items of the middle hierarchy. It is associated with "defense system".

When the local player taps the first angle area B2-1 while the guide figure A-1 is displayed, the guide figure A-2 is displayed. The guide figure A-2 displays the battle game screen on the circular area B1-2 centered on the third designated position, the first angle area B2-2, the second angle area B3-2, and the third angle area B4-. Divide into two. For example, the first angle area B2-2 is associated with the "fire attribute skill" among the items in the lower hierarchy, and the second angle area B3-2 is associated with the "water attribute skill" among the items in the lower hierarchy. It is associated.

When the own player taps the first angle area B2-2 while the guide figure A-2 is displayed, the "fire attribute skill" is activated.

As described above, by using the input instruction processing using the guide figure stepwise, it becomes possible to easily select the item having the hierarchical data structure only by the tap operation. The input instruction processing using the guide figure step by step is not limited to the input instruction of the action. For example, it can be used when the menu is selected hierarchically. In addition to the game field, it can be used in any field as long as it selects an item having a hierarchical data structure.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions and modifications can be made to this without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
