In the game system 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the server device 2 and the game device 5 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via the communication network 6.

The game described in this embodiment is an online game executed by the game system 1. The game is, for example, a puzzle game or an action game in which a stamina value is consumed as the quest is executed to advance the game.

The consumed stamina value can then be recovered over time, billing, or using items.

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

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

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

The game device 5 first logs in to the server device 2 as the game progresses. Different account information is assigned to each user, and the account information includes identification information (user ID) and password for each user. This account information is transmitted from the game device 5 to the server device 2 via the communication network 6 at the time of login.

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

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

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

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

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

The network interface 21 is communicably connected to each game device 5 via a communication network 6 such as the Internet and a LAN. The game data, the game program, and the like are transmitted to the game device 5 and the account information is received from the game device 5 via the network interface 21.

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

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

<Functional configuration of the control unit 23 of the server device 2>
By executing various programs, the control unit 23 functions as an information processing means 231, a collation means 232, a maintenance control means 233, a distribution means 234, and a permissible value increasing means 235.

The information processing means 231 transmits and receives data necessary for distribution of the game program to and from each game device 5. Examples of the data received by the information processing means 231 include download request information and account information. Examples of the data transmitted by the information processing means 231 include information for confirming whether or not the game device 5 has received the game program.

The collation means 232 uses the account information received from the game device 5 to transmit the user authentication process and the authentication request as to whether the user is in the game to the game device 5.

The maintenance control means 233 creates information about maintenance, executes, cancels, suspends, and ends maintenance, and measures a predetermined elapsed time from the start of maintenance. Further, the information related to the maintenance means, for example, maintenance notice information (scheduled maintenance period and its contents, etc.) or completed maintenance information (the elapsed time, other maintenance results, etc.).

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

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

Further, the permissible value increasing means 235 increases the stamina value up to the upper limit value (first upper limit value) according to the passage of time during the execution of the game.

Further, the permissible value increasing means 235 has a stamina value S0 described later when the upper limit value (first upper limit value) of the stamina value is set to a higher upper limit value (second upper limit value) by the setting means 564 described later. When is equal to or higher than the first upper limit value, the stamina value increasing process is not performed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The storage unit 55 is composed of an HDD, a RAM, a ROM, and the like. The storage unit 55 can store the game program and game data downloaded from the server device 2. Further, the storage unit 55 stores the account information of the user of the own device 5 and the other account information received from the other game device 5 for transmission to the other game device 5.

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

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

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

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

For example, the game execution means 562 controls the start or end of the game according to the operation signal representing the content of the operation of the controller 63 of the user under the progress of the game. Further, the game execution means 562 consumes the stamina value according to the target quest at the start of the game.

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

The setting means 564 satisfies a predetermined condition as a result of executing the game by the game executing means 562 (for example, when the quest is executed and cleared, when a charge is made, or when the game medium is consumed). , The upper limit of the stamina value is set to the second upper limit value higher than the first upper limit value before the event execution.

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

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

Since the stamina value recovers over time during the maintenance period, the user advances the game until just before the maintenance starts to reduce the stamina value, and proceeds with the game with the recovered stamina value during the maintenance period. The user's psychology of letting them work.

However, once the stamina value is restored to the upper limit, it is not added any more. Therefore, depending on the stamina value immediately before the start of maintenance, the stamina value may be restored to the upper limit in the middle of the maintenance period. Then, if the game can be advanced, the stamina value that should be originally obtained cannot be obtained any more, and the user may feel that he / she is losing money.

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

Therefore, the permissible value increasing means 235 according to the present embodiment calculates the stamina value to be added from the start of maintenance by the maintenance control means 233 to the lapse of a predetermined time, and sets the stamina value as the stamina value at the start of maintenance. Even if the upper limit is exceeded, the processing is performed.

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

When a quest is started by the game execution means 562, the stamina value corresponding to the quest is consumed. In the following, the consumed stamina value will be referred to as the "quest value". For example, in FIG. 3, the stamina value S0 = 65, the stamina upper limit value Sfull = 65, the quest value = 15, and the stamina value S0 after executing the quest by the game execution means 562 are reduced and displayed as shown in FIG. (S0 = 50).

As shown in FIG. 5, if the stamina value required to execute the quest by the game execution means 562 is insufficient, the execution process of the quest by the game execution means 562 is restricted, and the user can proceed with the game. Can not. However, the stamina value can be restored over time, or by charging or consuming stamina value recovery items.

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

However, the stamina value is recovered with the passage of time from the start of maintenance even during the maintenance period by the permissible value increasing means 235, and the stamina value S0 is added even if the stamina upper limit value Sfull is reached during the maintenance period. Will be done. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the game device 5 logs in to the server device 2 after the maintenance is completed, the stamina value S0 = 90 (numerator) exceeding the stamina upper limit value Sfull = 65 (denominator value b21) is displayed in the game image. The value b22) is displayed.

Further, although not shown, when the stamina upper limit value Sfull increases due to the game execution means 562 executing the above-mentioned event while the game is in progress, that is, the first upper limit value which is the stamina upper limit value before the event execution. When the upper limit of the stamina value is set to the second upper limit value after the event is executed, the stamina upper limit value Sfull (that is, the second upper limit value) after the setting is displayed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

With all the game devices 5 logged out, the maintenance control means 233 starts the maintenance of the server device 2 (# 10) and starts the measurement of the maintenance time (# 11). When the maintenance is completed, the maintenance control means 233 transmits a maintenance end notification to the game device 5 (# 12). The execution prohibition means 563 of the game device 5 that has received the maintenance end notification releases the login restriction (# 13).

After that, when the game device 5 logs in to the server device 2 by the user's operation (# 14), is the maintenance control means 233 performed within a certain time set in advance from the end of the maintenance? Make a judgment (# 15).

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

On the other hand, when the login is performed after the lapse of the fixed time (NO in # 15), the maintenance control means 233 measures a predetermined time from the start of maintenance to the lapse of the fixed time (#). 17), the addition stamina value Sadd to be added to the stamina value S0 is calculated based on the time (# 18).

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

When the stamina value S0 is equal to or more than the stamina upper limit value Sfull (NO of # 19), it is not necessary to add the stamina value Sadd for addition to the stamina value S0. Therefore, the stamina value S0 is continuously stored in the storage unit 22 (# 24). For example, when the stamina upper limit value Sfull is "65" and the stamina value S0 is "65", the permissible value increasing means 235 does not add the stamina value Sadd for addition to the stamina value S0 "65" and stores it. The stamina value S0 "65" is continuously stored in the part 22.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On the other hand, assuming that the maximum value Smax is, for example, "85", the stamina value S1 after addition exceeds the maximum value Smax (S1> Smax). Therefore, # 23 is established, the maximum value Smax "85" is transmitted to the game device 5, and the stamina display unit b2 is displayed as "85/65" (FIG. 7).

Summarizing the above, in the game program of the present embodiment, the control unit 56 (computer) of the game device 5 has the game execution means 562 that executes the game according to the operation of the user and the game execution means 562 for a predetermined period. A stamina value (game progress allowable value) in which the control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 is deducted according to the execution of the game while functioning as the execution prohibition means 563 for prohibiting the execution of the game. However, if the predetermined condition is satisfied at the start of the predetermined period, the permissible value increasing means 235 that increases the stamina value beyond the first upper limit value, which is the upper limit value during the progress of the game, with the passage of time during the predetermined period. And, it functions as.

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

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

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

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

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