[Interlocking setting method]
In order to use the game interlocking service provided by the interlocking server 36 with the smart speaker 24, first, a predetermined interlocking setting for linking the game service provided by the game server 32 with the network service provided by the management server 34. Need to be done. The interlocking setting of this embodiment is a mechanism that allows users to be authenticated and linked between different services without notifying or sharing the personal information of the user managed for each service to other services. ing.

The game service provided by the game server 32 and the network service provided by the management server 34 are independent services. The user 40 can use the game service provided by the game server 32 by using the user terminal 22 that communicates with the game server 32. Further, the network service provided by the management server 34 can be used by using the smart speaker 24 that communicates with the management server 34. As a premise for performing the interlocking setting, it is assumed that the user has registered as a user for each of the game service and the network service. Hereinafter, the user registered in the game service is referred to as a "game user", and the user registered in the network service is referred to as a "service user".

The interlocking setting is realized by three steps of (A) account issuance process, (B) interlocking service use setting process, and (C) linking process. It should be noted that (B) the linking process needs to be performed after (A) the account issuing process. Further, the order of (B) the interlocking service use setting process and (C) the linking process may be reversed.

2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating (A) an account issuance process. FIG. 2 is a diagram focusing on the flow of communication between devices, and FIG. 3 is a diagram focusing on the processing of each device. The account issuance process is a process of issuing / acquiring a linked account for linking with a network service from a game service.

First, the user 40 accesses the game server 32 using the user terminal 22 and logs in to the game service (step a1). Then, on the predetermined input screen, an account issuance request for setting the linkage with the network service is input (step a2). This input can be realized by, for example, selecting a predetermined button. The user terminal 22 transmits the account issuance request input by the user to the game server 32 (step a3).

The game server 32 that has received the account issuance request issues an interlocking account linked to the logged-in user 40 (game user) (step a4), and transmits the issued interlocking account to the user terminal 22 (step). a5). The user terminal 22 presents the interlocking account received from the game server 32 to the user 40, for example, by displaying it on a display (step a6). The user 40 saves the presented interlocking account. It may be saved by storing it in the user terminal 22. The account issuance process is performed in this way.

4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining (B) the interlocking service use setting process. FIG. 4 is a diagram focusing on the flow of communication between devices, and FIG. 5 is a diagram focusing on the processing of each device. The interlocking service use setting step is a step of setting the game interlocking service provided by the interlocking server 36 so that the user 40 can use the smart speaker 24 as an additional service of the network service provided by the management server 34.

The user 40 accesses the management server 34 using the user terminal 22 and logs in to the network service (step b1). Then, on the predetermined input screen, a function use setting request for enabling the use of the game interlocking service linked with the game service is input (step b2). This input can be realized by, for example, selecting a predetermined button. The user terminal 22 transmits the input function use setting request to the management server 34 (step b3).

The management server 34 effectively sets the function of the game interlocking service linked with the game service according to the received function use setting request (step b4), and transmits the activation notification to the user terminal 22 (step b5). The user terminal 22 that has received the activation notification presents to the user 40 that the function of the game interlocking service linked with the game service can be used, for example, by displaying it on a display (step b6).

6 and 7 are diagrams illustrating (C) the associating step. FIG. 6 is a diagram focusing on the flow of communication between devices, and FIG. 7 is a diagram focusing on the processing of each device. The linking process is a step of linking the user 40 between the game service and the network service using the interlocking account.

The user 40 accesses the management server 34 using the user terminal 22 and logs in to the network service (step c1). Then, on the predetermined input screen, the interlocking setting request with the game service is input (step c2). This input can be realized by, for example, selecting a predetermined button. The user terminal 22 transmits the interlocking setting request input by the user to the management server 34 (step c3).

The management server 34 that has received the interlocking setting request transmits a redirect instruction to the game server 32 to the user terminal 22 (step c4). The user terminal 22 executes a code issuance process with the game server 32 using the interlocking account according to the received redirect instruction (step c5), and acquires the interlocking authentication code issued by the game server 32.

As a code issuance process, the user terminal 22 accesses the game server 32 according to the redirect instruction (step c6). The game server 32 redirected from the user terminal 22 transmits an authentication URL for user authentication to the user terminal 22 (step c7). The user terminal 22 accesses the received authentication URL and displays the authentication screen (step c8). Then, the user 40 inputs the interlocking account on this authentication screen (step c9). The interlocking account entered here was acquired in the above-mentioned account issuance process. The user terminal 22 transmits the input interlocking account to the game server 32 (step c10). The game server 32 authenticates the user 40 (game user) associated with the received interlocking account, and issues the interlocking authentication code associated with the user 40 (game user) (step C11). This is the code issuance process. Then, the issued interlocking authentication code is transmitted to the user terminal 22 (step c12).

Upon receiving the interlocking authentication code, the user terminal 22 displays a predetermined display screen and asks the user 40 to input the transmission permission of the interlocking authentication code. Here, the interlocking authentication code itself may or may not be presented (displayed) to the user 40. When the transmission permission is input (step c13), the user terminal 22 transmits the interlocking authentication code to the management server 34 (step c14). The management server 34 that has received the interlocking authentication code executes the interlocking authentication process with the game server 32 using the interlocking authentication code (step c15), and acquires an access token. As the interlocking authentication process, the management server 34 transmits the interlocking authentication code to the game server 32 (step c16).

The game server 32 authenticates the user (game user) associated with the received interlocking authentication code, and issues an access token associated with the authenticated user 40 (game user) (step c17). Then, the issued access token is transmitted to the management server 34 (step c18). The management server 34 stores the received access token in association with the logged-in user (service user). The management server 34 uses this access token to communicate with the game server 32 related to the interlocking play of the game by the user 40. So to speak, the access token can also be said to be data of proxy rights when the user 40 logs in to the game server 32 as a game user.

By such a linking process, an access token linked to one user 40 who is a user (game user) registered in the game service and also a user (service user) registered in the network service can be obtained. It can be acquired by each of the game server 32 and the management server 34. For the game server 32, this access token is associated with a registered user (game user) of the game service provided by the game server 32, and for the management server 34, the registered user of the network service provided by the user (game user). It is associated with the service user). In addition, when generating an access token, information about the user managed by each service is not notified or shared with other services.

[Implementation of interlocking play]
After implementing the above interlocking settings, the user 40 can perform interlocking play of the game using the smart speaker 24 by the game interlocking service provided by the interlocking server 36.

(D) Interlocking play of the game FIGS. 8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating the interlocking play of the game. FIG. 8 is a diagram focusing on the flow of communication between devices, and FIG. 9 is a diagram focusing on the processing of each device.

The user 40 uses the smart speaker 24 to input a play command related to the interlocking play of the game by voice (step d1). Here, the play command is set in advance according to the content of the game and the like. Specifically, the play command itself is set as a relatively short word (line) that is easy to speak, and the specific processing content to be executed in the game is associated with this. For example, the play command is "Raise the level!" To the player character until "a predetermined condition (for example, a predetermined number of times, a predetermined time, until the level is raised, etc.) is satisfied in the predetermined map". Then, the processing contents such as "repeat the battle with the enemy character" are associated with each other, and "collect the materials!" Is used as the play command. It is possible to associate the processing contents such as "the collection and search of the object set as" is performed for a predetermined time. " Further, it is desirable to add a word (abbreviation, etc.) indicating the name of the target game to the play command.

The smart speaker 24 transmits the input voice data to the management server 34 (step d2). The management server 34 performs voice recognition processing on the received input voice data, identifies the user (service user), converts the input voice into text data, and text data (command data) of the play command which is the input content. ) Is generated (step d3). As a method of specifying a user (service user) using input voice, for example, the following method can be adopted. That is, the voice pattern data (also referred to as sound pattern data) of the user is set and registered in advance when the user who uses the smart speaker 24 is registered, and the received input voice data is transmitted to the user of the smart speaker 24. By collating with the voice print data registered as, it is possible to adopt a method of identifying a user (service user). After specifying the user (service user), the generated command data is transmitted to the interlocking server 36 together with the access token associated with the specified user (service user) (step d4).

The interlocking server 36 determines a play command corresponding to the received command data, and transmits the play command to the game server 32 together with the received access token together with the command data (step d5).

The game server 32 performs user authentication based on the access token, identifies the corresponding user (game user), and executes a process corresponding to the received play command in the game of the user (game user) (step d7). ). When the process is completed, the execution result is transmitted to the interlocking server 36 together with the access token of the user (game user) (step d8). The interlocking server 36 generates text data (execution result data) of the received execution result, and transmits the received access token together with the access token to the management server 34 (step d9).

The management server 34, which has received the execution result data from the interlocking server 36, identifies the user (service user) from the access tokens received together (step d10). Further, the text sentence indicated by the execution result data is converted into voice data to generate the voice data of the execution result (step d11). Then, the generated voice data is transmitted to the smart speaker 24 of the specified user (service user) (step d12). The smart speaker 24 reproduces the received voice data to output the execution result by voice (step d13).

(E) Push notification In the game interlocking service, the execution result for the play command is output as a push notification by voice from the smart speaker 24. This push notification can include not only the execution result for the play command but also the notification regarding the progress of the game.

10 and 11 are diagrams illustrating push notifications. FIG. 10 is a diagram focusing on the flow of communication between devices, and FIG. 11 is a diagram focusing on the processing of each device.

When the game progress status of the user (game user) meets a predetermined notification condition, the game server 32 transmits a push notification related to the status to the interlocking server 36 together with the access token of the user (game user). (Step e1). Here, the notification condition can be set according to the content of the game, in addition to the end of the processing for the above-mentioned play command. It is desirable that the notification condition is a condition that can occur in a situation where the user 40 is not logged in to the game system, such as a change in rank (up / down) relative to other users.

The interlocking server 36 that has received the push notification generates the text data (push notification data) of the push notification, and stores and stores it in association with the corresponding access token (step e2). Next, data indicating that there is a push notification (data with notification) is transmitted to the management server 34 together with the access token (step e3). The transmission in step e3 may be to transmit the stored data (data with notification) to the management server 34 based on the transmission request (data acquisition request) from the management server 34, or the interlocking server. The data (data with notification) that the 36 automatically stores and stores periodically / irregularly may be transmitted to the management server 34.

Here, if the interlocking server 36 is configured to store the correspondence between the game user (specifically, the game user ID or the like) and the access token, the interlocking server 36 is connected to the game server 32 in step e1. The push notification to be sent to is not an access token but a game user identification information (for example, a game user ID). After that, the interlocking server 36 identifies the access token corresponding to the game user related to the received push notification, and transmits the notified data together with the access token to the management server 34 (step e3).

The management server 34 that has received the notified data identifies a user (service user) from the access tokens received together, and transmits the notified data to the smart speaker 24 of the specified user (service user) (step e4). The smart speaker 24 that has received the notification data outputs a predetermined push notification sound by voice (step e5). Here, the voice data of the push notification sound may be transmitted from the management server 34, or may be configured to be selected from those stored in advance in the smart speaker 24.

The user 40 who has heard the push notification sound inputs a predetermined push notification sound request command by voice using the smart speaker 24 (step e6). The smart speaker 24 transmits the input voice data to the management server 34 (step e7).

[Action effect]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the game provided by the game server 32 is linked to the network service provided by the management server 34, and the user 40 is connected to the smart speaker 24 which is a device capable of inputting and outputting voice. It is possible to play a game in conjunction with the smart speaker 24, such as inputting a play command by voice. In the interlocking play of the game, the play command voice-input by the user 40 is notified from the management server 34 to the game server 32 via the interlocking server 36 by using the access token acquired in the linking process.

The access token used here is associated with a user authenticated by each of the game server 32 and the management server 34. The management server 34 causes a user (service user) who has been authenticated by himself / herself to access the game server 32 via the user terminal 22 and acquires an authentication code which is the result of authentication by the game server 32. Then, using this authentication code, an access token associated with the user is acquired with the game server 32. As a result, by using the access token linked to the user between different services, the personal information registered and managed in each service is not notified to or shared with the other service, and the game using the smart speaker 24 can be used. Interlocking play is possible.

It should be noted that the applicable embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and of course, it can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, when the push notification is output by voice from the smart speaker 24, an effect corresponding to the corresponding game may be performed. Specifically, prior to the voice output of the push notification, the BGM used in the corresponding game is output by voice, or the BGM is output by voice together with the push notification, and the voice of the push notification is the character appearing in the game. There is a production such as making it the voice of. The BGM voice data may be transmitted by the management server 34 to the smart speaker 24, or may be stored in advance in the smart speaker 24, and the stored data may be reproduced and output.

Further, depending on whether or not the user 40 is playing the game on the user terminal 22, whether or not to give a push notification to the smart speaker 24, or to change the content of the push notification. Specifically, if the game user 40 is not logged in to the game service (logging out), the game server 32 determines that the game is not being played, and in addition to the execution result of the play command by the game user 40, the game. The content prompting the play, the progress of the play by another game user, and the like are transmitted as push notifications to the interlocking server 36, and the smart speaker 24 outputs the voice. If the game user 40 is logged in, it is determined that the game is being played, so that the push notification itself is not performed, and information to that effect is transmitted to the interlocking server 36 so that the sound output from the smart speaker 24 is not performed. Or, information about the game being played is transmitted to the interlocking server 36 as a push notification, and the smart speaker 24 outputs the voice.

Further, depending on the time zone, the push notification may be switched on / off by voice output from the smart speaker 24. Specifically, the game user 40 sets a time zone (for example, 8:00 to 20:00) for receiving push notifications for the game service based on the setting operation from the user terminal 22. When notifying the push notification to the game user 40, the game server 32 determines whether or not it is within the time zone set as the time zone for receiving the push notification by the game user 40, and if it is within the time zone. Only, the push notification is transmitted to the interlocking server 36 and the smart speaker 24 outputs the voice.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the smart speaker 24 is taken as an example of a device capable of inputting / outputting audio, but other devices may be used as long as they have the same functions as the smart speaker 24. .. For example, the function of the smart speaker 24 may be incorporated into a home appliance such as a refrigerator, a toy imitating a pet, a robot, or the like. In that case, the home appliances, toys, and robots become devices capable of audio input / output.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in order to make the explanation easy to understand, the game server 32 is described as one, but there are a plurality of game servers 32 for each game, and between each game server 32 and the management server 34. And, of course, interlocking play can be set.

That is, the management server 34 can set the interlocking play for each game server 32 by the method of the above-described embodiment. After that, the user 40 selects a desired game server 32 while giving a selection instruction to the management server 34 by voice or having a question and answer session with the management server 34 via the smart speaker 22 which is a device. However, it is possible to notify the desired game server 32 of the play command through the interlocking server 36.

For example, when the management server 34 identifies the user 40 from the voice input to the smart speaker 22, it is estimated that the game server 32 to which the user 40 has notified the play command most recently is the desired game server 32. It is possible to adopt the method of selecting. Alternatively, it is also possible to adopt a method of presuming that the game server 32 to which the push notification has been sent most recently to the user 40 identified from the voice is the desired game server 32 and selecting the game server 32. Alternatively, when a word that can identify the game server 32 can be recognized from the voice input to the smart speaker 22, the method of presuming that the game server 32 is the desired game server 32 and selecting the game server 32 is adopted. You can also.

Alternatively, a method is adopted in which the user 40 and the management server 34 repeat a question and answer session via the smart speaker 22, and the game server 32 desired by the user 40 is selected from the game servers 32 for which interlocking play is set. You may.
