JP 2015-198722 A Japanese Patent No. 5995946

By the way, when the printed normal cards and the printed special cards are shuffled and stacked in the card ejection mechanism of the game device, or when the cut sheets for printing the normal cards and the cut sheets for printing the special cards are shuffled, the game is played. If the cards are stuck in the paper feed section of the printer of the device, the order in which the special cards are issued is determined in advance. You lose interest in the game.
As described in Patent Document 2, two types of printing media with different pre-decorations are applied to one printer (shared) or dedicated printers for each, and loading units for the same two types of printing media are independently installed. prepare. In this case, the printing media can be decorated differently in advance for normal cards and for special cards, and the order in which the special cards are issued is not determined in advance.
However, in this case, depending on how the issuance ratio of normal cards and special cards is controlled, the consumption timing of each of the two types of printing media will be different cannot be predicted).
If the consumption timings of the two kinds of print media are different, the print media are supplied to the game installation store before the print media of either the special card or the normal card are consumed, which is inefficient.
On the other hand, the issuance ratio of normal cards and special cards should be controlled to a certain extent by alleviating the imbalance to some extent, giving priority to maintaining the rarity of special cards and enhancing the interest of the game.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems in the prior art described above. To make the simultaneous consumption timing of the loaded two types of print media come when a predetermined number of print media are issued while enhancing the interest of a game by controlling.

The invention according to claim 1 for solving the above problems is a video output unit, an audio output unit, an operation input unit, and the video output unit and the audio output unit based on operation input information from the operation input unit. A control unit that develops the game by controlling the
As the printing media, a first type printing medium and a second type printing medium having different decorations are loaded into different loading units of the printing unit for a predetermined number of printed materials,
The number (ma ), and the number (nb) obtained by multiplying the number of loaded sheets (n) of the type 2 printing medium by a second natural number (b) that may be the same as the first natural number (nb), and the average issuance ratio ( ma:nb) is at the latest the number obtained by multiplying the number of one load of the first type printing medium by the first natural number and the number obtained by multiplying the number of one load of the second type printing medium by the second natural number at the latest. In order to reach at the time of issuing the number of printed materials corresponding to the sum (ma + nb) of
The control unit
When the average issue ratio (ma:nb) is represented by the simplest integer ratio (A:B), the number of first-type print media corresponding to (A) and the number corresponding to (B) Allocating the second type print medium to a calculation table, subtracting one of the first type print media from the table when the first type print medium is selected, and selecting the second type print medium from the table performing a lottery to determine the print media to be issued each time from the table by subtracting one from the second type print media, each time the number of print media corresponding to (A+B) is issued and the total print media is issued; Repeat until the number of sheets reaches the number corresponding to the sum (ma + nb),
This game device is characterized by:

The invention according to claim 2 is the game apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit sets the second natural number (b) to one.

The invention according to claim 3 is the game apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit makes the number of the first-type print media loaded in one load larger than the number of the second-type print media loaded in one.

The invention according to claim 4 is the game apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the control unit sets the first natural number (a) to 2 or more.

In the invention according to claim 5 , the print medium is roll paper, the number of printed matter equivalents contained in the roll paper of the first type print medium and the roll paper of the second type print medium is each a predetermined number, and the first type 5. The game apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the number of rolls that can be loaded into the loading unit for the print medium and the second type print medium is one roll each.

According to the present invention, when the first type print medium is loaded a first natural number (a) times and the second type print medium is loaded a second natural number (b) times, when they are all consumed, As the timing of simultaneous consumption of the first and second print media arrives, the issue ratio of the first and second print media converges to the average issue ratio.
Therefore, if one supply unit or two or more units of a combination of type 1 print media equivalent to ma and type 2 print media equivalent to nb are supplied to a game installation shop per game device, The first and second types of print media are consumed in just the right amount.
In addition, according to the second aspect of the invention, the average issue ratio is achieved for each minimum number of units, and the number of times the game is run is small. The bias in the issuance ratio when viewed in terms of is alleviated.
Further, according to the third aspect of the invention, once the second type printing medium is loaded (initial loading), the first type printing medium and the second type printing medium are simultaneously consumed without replenishment. Since the timing comes, there is no replenishment work on the way and it is efficient.
Further, according to the fourth or fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to increase the rarity of the special card by using the first type printing medium as the normal card and the second type printing medium as the special card.
Further, according to the sixth aspect of the invention, it is easy to make constant the number of first-type print media per load and the number of second-type print media per load.

The shape and structure of the housing of such a game device, the shape of the exterior, the layout, etc. are examples, and are not limited to these.

[Main points of operation of the game device]
The main points of the operation of the game device (game system) will be described below in light of a specific game worldview.
The purpose of this game is to register as a member, play the game repeatedly, and obtain an evaluation each time to raise the rank. As a concrete view of the world, live performances of idol units are distributed on a virtual net channel, and the fashion coordination and live performance evaluation values (“Like (high evaluation)” and “Followers (channel subscribers)” ”) is a game to win. A so-called game score is expressed by the total number of “likes (high ratings)” acquired and the total number of “followers (channel subscribers)”. You can also add channel ranks. It is recommended that the first purpose is to increase the total number of “followers (channel subscribers)”.
A member ID is issued to the member. The game devices 100 installed in various places communicate with the server via the communication unit 8 . Game condition information is registered in the server in association with the member ID. The game condition information includes character setting information (character name, appearance, clothes, etc.), cumulative evaluation value (“like (high evaluation)” and “follower (channel subscriber)”, channel rank), member follow information is included.

(Printed media and printed matter)
Inside the main housing 100M, the loading section 9a of the printing section 9 is loaded with the roll paper R1 of the first type printing medium.
Inside the sub housing 100S, the loading section 14a of the printing section 14 is loaded with the roll paper R2 of the second type printing medium.
An example of decoration on the front and back of the first type print medium is shown in FIG. 3, and the first type print medium is usually used for cards. An example of decoration on the front and back of the second type print medium is shown in FIG. 4, and the second type print medium is for special cards.

The printed matter is the card shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. A card is composed of a series of a main card MC and a sub card SC, and can be divided into the main card MC and the sub card SC. FIG. 5 shows a main card MC1 as a member card and a sub card SC1 as another member identification card. As shown in FIG. 6, the main card MC2 is an item card and the sub card SC2 is a card for identifying other members. A two-dimensional code is printed on each of the main card and the sub card.
The same member ID is recorded in the two-dimensional code of the consecutive member card MC1 and other member identification card SC1. It is unnecessary to record the member ID in the item card MC2. This is because the item card MC2 in the game according to the present embodiment can be used by anyone, and there is no processing for reading the member ID. The member ID read or assigned at the start of the game when the card was issued (steps S2 and S3 to be described later) is recorded on the other member identification card SC2, which is connected to the item card MC2 or the like other than the member card. there is
A code for identifying each card type is also recorded. The item card MC2 also records a code specifying the type of item.

In detail, the printed contents of the membership card MC1 include a two-dimensional code 31, a channel rank 32, a member name (a character name can be substituted) 33, a member ID 34, an issue date 35, and a set character. A profile image 36 and an image (face photo of the game player) 37 captured by the imaging unit 7 are included.
The printed contents of the other member identification cards SC1 and SC2 include a two-dimensional code 41, a channel rank 42, a character name 43, the number of followers 44, the number of followers 45, the latest live image 46 of the set character, and the image taken by the imaging unit 7 ( game player's face photo) 47 is included.
The printed contents of the item card MC2 include a two-dimensional code 51, the latest live image (background) 52 of the set character, the item image 53, the item attribute 54, the item name 55, and the item's "like (high evaluation)" acquisition power 56. is included.

(Game operation flow)
The gist of the flow of actions for one game will be described with reference to the basic flow shown in FIG.
When a coin is inserted into the game device 100, the control unit 1 first reads the member ID and the like from the two-dimensional code 31 of the member card MC1 if the game player plays the game as a member (YES in S1) (S2). . If NO in step S1, a new member registration step S3 is executed and a new member ID is assigned. In the new member registration step S3, the game player is allowed to set the character's name, appearance, etc., and the member card MC1 + other member identification card SC1 shown in FIG. issuing step). It should be noted that the member ID may not be issued via a medium printed by the game device 100, and may be transmitted and stored in the mobile terminal of the member, for example. In that case, the member ID is read by the communication unit (8) with the portable terminal.

Next, the control section 1 executes a game condition setting step S4. In the game condition setting step S4, the control unit 1 sets the game conditions based on the game condition information registered in the server referred to by the member ID and the options selected by providing the selection step to the game player. The game conditions set here include the character's fashion/coordination, live stage, music used, composition of other members, backup by following members, and the like. As the setting of other member configuration, the control unit 1 allows the game player to select a character prepared by default and sets it as another member, reads the two-dimensional code 41 of the other member identification card SC1 or SC2, and reads the member ID. Set the registered character of the referenced server as another member. Also, the fashion item read from the two-dimensional code 51 of the item card MC2 is applied as the character's fashion coordination.
As a backup for member follow-up, if there are other members who have newly become followers, the number will increase, and if there are "likes (high ratings)" sent by other members ” is added to each of the “Likes (high ratings)” and “Followers (subscribers)” in the game.

When the game condition setting step S4 is completed, the control unit 1 develops the game based on the game conditions set in the game condition setting step S4 (S5). The content of the game is a timing game in which operation buttons are operated at timing corresponding to video and audio. Deploy in such a way that high scores (“likes”) can be earned for good timing. In addition, processing is performed so that the more "followers (channel subscribers)" are, the more efficiently "likes (high ratings)" can be obtained. It is also possible to introduce a mechanism to calculate the "followers (channel subscribers)" at this time as the total number of followers of all members. In addition, according to the number of mutual followers in "followers (channel subscribers)" (the number of members who follow you and who also follow you) It is also possible to introduce a mechanism for processing so that it can be obtained.
In addition, the fashion coordination, the sense of unity of the fashion coordination of the entire unit, and the sense of matching with the music of the fashion coordination are also evaluated, and developed to give a score (“like (high evaluation)”).

After completing the game development step S5, the control unit 1 displays the game result (S6). Display the current "likes (high ratings)" and "followers (channel subscribers)" as game results. The control unit 1 determines the acquired item this time according to the game result.

Next, the control section 1 executes a printing condition setting step S7. In the printing condition setting step S7, the control unit 1 causes the game player to select from a plurality of graphics, and sets the printing of a card (MC2+SC2) as shown in FIG. 6 on which the selected graphics and acquired items are arranged. The plurality of graphics includes each scene of the game developed in the game development processing step S5.
After the printing condition setting step S7, the control unit 1 determines whether to print the special card (print on the second type printing medium) or print the normal card (print on the first type printing medium), A normal card or a special card is printed (S8-S10).
When the control unit 1 changes the display screen 21 to the continuous purchase screen and inserts coins into the game device 100, the process returns to the printing condition setting step S7 (YES in step S11). That is, the game player can receive a plurality of cards by inserting coins at this timing.
If NO in step S11, the control unit 1 displays a follow-up screen on the display screen 21 (S12). Characters followed by the member of the current game (the member with the member ID read in step S2) are displayed on the follow screen. If there is another member you are following, the character (idol) set by that member will be displayed on the follow screen. The characters of other members that the player is following are displayed in the game condition setting step S4.
Next, the control unit 1 proceeds to follow-up registration step S13 according to the operation from the operation input unit 4. FIG.
In the follow-up registration step S13, when the two-dimensional code 41 of the other member identification card SC1 or SC2 is read, the control unit 1 registers the member with the member ID as the member of the current game (the member with the member ID read in step S2). ) to follow. In addition, the game player can send "Like (high evaluation)" to other members to follow. The control unit 1 also receives and holds information on the number of “likes (high evaluations)” input via the operation input unit 4 . The transmission operation of "like (highly rated)" can be performed on the follow screen (S12) (from the next time onwards). Alternatively, it may be immediately after the follow-up registration in step S13.
Finally, the control unit 1 saves the updated game condition information for the current game, uploads it to the server at appropriate times, and shares the information so that it can be used by all game devices (S14).

(Special card issuance ratio management control)
The control unit 1 controls the average issuance ratio of the printed matter (ordinary card) printed by the first type printing medium and the printed matter (special card) printed by the second type printing medium as follows.
Let m be the number of first-type print media per load, a be the first natural number multiplied by this, n be the number of one-load second-type print media, and b be the second natural number to be multiplied by this. It does not matter whether the first natural number and the second natural number are the same or different.
The control unit 1 controls the average issuance ratio to ma:nb.
For example, the number m of normal cards loaded in one load is set to m=600, and the number of loaded special cards n in one load is set to n=240. That is, the roll paper R1 of the first type printing medium corresponding to 600 cards is loaded in the loading unit 9a, and the roll paper R2 of the second type printing medium corresponding to 240 cards is loaded in the loading unit 14a. It is designed to be loaded into
In this case, for example, a=4 and b=1 (see FIG. 8).
Therefore, let ma:nb=600×4:240×1=2400:240=10:1 be the average issuance ratio.
The timing for achieving the average issuance ratio is at the latest when the number of cards corresponding to ma+nb=2640 has been issued.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, one normal card roll paper R1 (for 240 sheets) and four special card roll paper R2 (for 600 sheets) are combined for each game machine. If one supply unit or two units or more thereof are supplied to the game installation store, the first and second types of print media are consumed in just the right amount.

Further, the control unit 1 performs control as follows in order to reduce the bias in the issue ratio when viewed with a small number of games played. That is, when the average issuance ratio (ma:nb) is represented by the integer ratio (A:B) of two integers with the smallest sum, the control unit 1 corresponds to the sum (A+B) of the two integers. achieved each time the number of printed materials is published. In the above example, it is 10:1, so 10+1=11, achieving an average issuance ratio (10:1) every time 11 cards are issued. It doesn't matter which of the 11 cards is the special card.
In particular, the special card with scarcity value is set to 1 (B = 1), the number of normal cards for one special card (10 in the above example) is determined, and the sum (11 in the above example) is the minimum As for the number of units, the control section 1 controls to issue one special card in any order while issuing the minimum number of cards. As a result, the bias in the issue ratio can be alleviated in the minimum unit based on one special card.

As in the above example, if the second natural number b is set to 1, the type 2 print medium can be printed with the type 1 print medium and the type 2 print medium without replenishment once loading (first loading). Since the simultaneous consumption timing of the seed printing medium arrives, there is no replenishment work on the way, which is efficient.
Also, by making the number m of one loaded type 1 print medium larger than the number n of one loaded type 2 print medium, setting the second natural number b to 1 and setting the first natural number a to 2 or more The rarity of the special card can be increased by using the first type print medium as the normal card and the second type print medium as the special card.
In addition, by loading the loading units 9a and 14a with the roll paper R1 and R2 of the predetermined number of cards, one loading number of the first type printing medium and one loading number of the second type printing medium are kept constant. It is easy to do.

If neither normal nor special cards are prohibited for all card types, it is sufficient to decide whether the card is a normal card or a special card by the time the card is printed. In the above example, the print media are assigned to the calculation table of the minimum unit number consisting of 10 normal cards and 1 special card in total. When a normal card is selected, one normal card is subtracted from the table, and when a special card is selected, one special card is subtracted from the table, and each time a lottery is drawn from the table.
However, as described above, the membership card is preferably a normal card for the sake of fairness among users.
In this case, while achieving an average issuance ratio (10:1 in the above example) with the minimum number of units (11 in the above example), the member card MC1 (including the sub card SC1; the same shall apply hereinafter) is controlled to always be a normal card. will be explained as follows.
(a) In the above example, print media are assigned to a table for calculating the minimum number of units consisting of 10 normal cards and 1 special card in total. There are 11 cards on each table.
(b) Pre-determine the order of special cards from 1-10 before starting to use the unconsumed table. That is, the last card is not pre-determined as a special card.
(c) When printing the item card MC2 (including the sub-card SC2; the same shall apply hereinafter), the normal card or the special card is applied and printed according to the preliminary decision. No matter how many consecutive additional purchases, one special card is selected from 11 cards before consumption at each table, so the average issuance ratio (10:1) can be achieved.
(d) When printing the membership card MC1, if the preliminary decision corresponds to a normal card, the normal card is printed and the preliminary decision is not changed; if the preliminary decision corresponds to the special card, the normal card is printed; The final eleventh card is determined as a special card (hereinafter referred to as "moving down the order of special cards").
(e) The printing of the membership card MC1 is not continuous, and the item card MC2 is always printed after the membership card MC1. Therefore, the first item card MC2 after moving down the order of the special cards is printed as the special card. do.
As described above, it is possible to control the membership card MC1 to always be a normal card while achieving the average issuance ratio with the minimum number of units.

As for the above-mentioned followers, it is possible to introduce a mechanism for controlling characters (anime characters, etc.) based on computers as followers and mutual followers instead of those based on actual members. In that case, a card printed with an image of a character (anime character, etc.) and an ID printed by a computer is also issued as a card for identifying other members. When a computer-based character (anime character, etc.) is followed by a member, the computer controls whether to follow back (mutually follow).

In the above embodiment, the printing section 9 for normal cards and the printing section 14 for special cards are provided separately, but the printing section may be shared and only the loading section may be independent. This is because even if it is implemented in this way, it is possible to select a normal card or a special card each time a card is issued.
In setting other members in follow-up registration step S13 and game condition setting step S4, the control unit 1 uses its own member ID (member ID in step S2 or S3) and other member identification card SC1 or SC2 It is determined that the read member ID does not match, and if it does not match, the process is performed as described above. If it matches, reject other member's setting and follow registration.
