At this time, regarding the dismissal of the teammates, in order to avoid giving a negative impression to the user, especially the child, it is also possible to inform, for example, that the character is detached from the teammate due to the busyness, and instead of giving the accessory and other offers to the user. It is displayed on the personal page under the control of the server control unit 301.

Alternatively, the information of the user-specific information 1161 and the friend category 1162 may be added to the friend list 1125 when the relationship between the user indicated by the user-specific information 1161 related to the released character is established. Alternatively, it may be configured as a user who is established for a friend relationship, and manages user-specific information and friend categories for both the friend list 1125 and the teammate list 1126.

Moreover, the teammate list 1126 is the same as the friend list 1125, and includes, for example, a logical type invitation flag 1169, which indicates that the role included in the list can be mandatory as a candidate for the selection team member when the user performs team selection as described above. And the mandatory instructions (participation request (invitation)) are completed.

In the personal page shown in FIG. 3(a), the user relationship information included in the friend list 312 is displayed by the user information corresponding to each user when updating with the current or specific data. The network image of the character represented by the character ID 1142 is displayed together. Here, the user can view the personal page for the user's disclosure as shown in FIG. 3(b) by selecting the user 314 indicated by the name "△△△△" in the friend list 312, for example. The personal page for public use of other users as shown in FIG. 3(b) does not need to be configured to be accessible only to the user who is displayed on the friend list 312 in the nature of the SNS. It is possible to access a personal page of a user who does not have a friend relationship via, for example, a personal page of a user who has a friend relationship, or a ranking page that is not shown. For example, when the user of the accessed personal page does not have a friend relationship, the user of the page can be made to be a friend of the web friend by using the button 321 (operation input thereto). An application for the establishment of a relationship. Further, in the game system of the present embodiment, the display role 323 of the user of the page can be invited to another user by the button 322 of the personal page regardless of the presence or absence of a friend relationship.

In addition, the offer of the offer is not limited thereto, and may be advertised by a promotional event related to the specific game content after the rhythm game by, for example, a specific event based on the result of the rhythm game described later. Further, in the present embodiment, the item card purchase selection is described in consideration of the number of customer reflows and the game player is not played in the rhythm game. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be configured as a purchase card. After that, you can play games such as rhythm games.

Both "1P games" and "2P games" select their own operational characters, and use the props card to install various items for the character, so that the user can perform the service of the rhythm game. Only one user in "1P Games" can play games, and in 2P games, two users Playing games can be performed using different user interfaces of the same gaming device 100. In the case of "1P game" or "2P game", one item card is ejected to each user or user who plays the game. That is, the game device 100 of the present embodiment is configured such that even if the purchase of the card is not selected, the user can certainly start one item card in one game play.

The content of the game provided in the game device 100 of the present embodiment is the same as the game described in Patent Document 1, and the game is equipped with the desired character by the prop card, and then played in the "selection" to perform the selection. Rhythm player. The evaluation parameters of each user are updated based on the selected game results (scores), and the user can compete with other users who play games on the same game device arranged in the country. The performance of the rhythm game is not based solely on the success or failure of the operation of the specific timing of the corresponding rhythm. It is considered to be a special combination with the combination of the props installed in the operation character by the success of the operation input of the specific rhythm mark. The presence or absence of the effect, or the presence or absence of the above-mentioned accessories installed in the operating character, is evaluated. In addition, the selection system is configured to prepare a plurality of themes (cute, cool, sexy, and popular) for the platform for holding the selection, and to improve the evaluation according to the attire by installing an item that is more compatible with the preset theme.

In the present embodiment, in the "1P game", two types of "selection selection" mode and "team selection" mode are selected as selections, and the user can select whether to select "1P game" and then perform any selection mode. game.

The selection mode is a rhythm game in which the characters used by other users in playing the game, the characters selected from the game original NPC, and the media combination corresponding to the NPC are the opponents of the game (other characters appearing in the same selection). mode. In the selection mode, the game is cleared (selected) by achieving the above-mentioned results of the pre-set evaluation. In this case, in the game of the present embodiment, when the result of the user's operation character satisfies the specific condition related to the role of the opponent, the event may be generated after the rhythm game ends, and the role is set as the team selected by the team. Member candidates can be forced to make their appearance (teammates) by invitation. Specifically, it will indicate that the role is a teammate’s information and user The information is linked, and the user can make a request for participation in the team selection (invitation) in advance on the personal page, so that the team member of the team selection will be allowed to appear on the scene. Moreover, at this time, in a situation where the friend relationship with the user corresponding to the character is not established, the user only needs to establish the friend relationship of the friend type as the web friend user in the game device 100. Apply now.

The team selection mode selects a specific number (4) of team members from the roles displayed as team member candidates in addition to the operation characters operated by the user, and performs a rhythm game mode by a total of 5 character units. The team selection mode is also the same as the selection mode, and the game is cleared by achieving the pre-set evaluation results. The role of becoming a team member alternate is not limited to the above-mentioned role of invitation to participate in the team selection, but a predetermined number of roles are displayed as candidates. For example, the role of the above-mentioned friend relationship may also be included in the team member candidate. For example, a character used by another user in the same game device 100 or a character used by another user in another game device 100 connected via the network 200 may be included in, for example, a theme extraction of a platform for selection. Team member alternate. At this time, when the role selected to the team member is the role of the teammate who is logged in as the user, it is also easier to control the evaluation of the rhythm game as compared with the role that is not registered as the teammate. Or, in the case where a friend relationship between a user who is selected as a team member and a user who plays a game is established, the character may be compared with a character generated by a user whose friend relationship is not established. It is easy to control the way the evaluation of the rhythm game rises. In this way, the role of the teammate relationship established by the game selection selection mode or the role of the user established in the game SNS friend relationship can be further improved by the team selection mode. A common sense of unity that promotes communication between users or playing games.

In the game system of the present embodiment, in the selection mode and the team selection mode, the game device 100 can be accessed by the client terminal 400 without using the game device 100 installed in, for example, a store. And pre-determined to make it mandatory Participate in the selection or inclusion of the role of the team member alternate. The operation related to the decision may be realized by moving to a list of friends and teammates of the invitation as shown in FIG. 5, which can be accessed from, for example, a personal page via a link (not shown). In the list page shown in FIG. 5, a teammate and a user (my friend) having a friend relationship other than the teammate are displayed in each of the areas 501 and 502. The display of the page is transmitted to the client by, for example, the server control unit 301 when the request from the client terminal 400 is present, and the user information of the corresponding user is generated by referring to the friend list 1125 and the teammate list 1126. The terminal terminal 400 can be implemented. In the page shown in FIG. 5, the user can confirm the identity of the teammate and the user who has the friend relationship or the role thereof, and the friend category (Web friend user, IC friend) by identifying the display 503 and 504. The confirmation of the user, and by the invitation request button 505 or the invitation cancel button 506, is a selection for an invitation to select or select a selection or to cancel the invitation. Similarly, the information related to the change of the invitation status of the list page completion in the display device of the client terminal 400 is transmitted to the server 300 via the network 200, and the server control unit 301 is based on the received information. Update the user information of the corresponding user with the information.

Further, the game system of the present embodiment may be configured such that, as shown in FIG. 5, a user may be included in a team member in a game team selection or a role of a user who does not have a friend relationship from a public page. Also log in as a teammate. In this case, it suffices that the user can make an application for establishing a friend relationship with the user corresponding to the character by inputting the operation of the application button 508 on the page.

Moreover, in the example of FIG. 5, the inviting person can be described as a teammate to the role of another user, but in order to improve the interest of a user who has less experience in playing games for the primary user, it may be The media combination corresponds to a manner in which an NPC or the like can be invited from the beginning, and the characters are displayed as a teammate by a preset.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the "2P game", the user of two people can select which one of the cooperative game and the competition game to perform the one-selection related rhythm game. In this implementation In the game of the form, when any one of the two users in the 2P game performs the game by the identification unit 109 recognizing the state of each of the personal cards, the friend category can be made compatible with the IC among the users. The friend relationship of friend users was established.

Game Processing

Regarding the game processing executed in the game device 100 of the present embodiment having such a configuration, a specific process will be described using the flowchart of Fig. 6 . The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by causing the control unit 101 to read a corresponding processing program stored in, for example, the memory medium 102, and executing the memory 103. In addition, the game processing is described in the case where it is detected that an equivalent payment is made for a coin or a token that is set to a coin input port (not shown) of the game device.

In S601, the control unit 101 determines which of the "prop card purchase", "1P game", and "2P game" is selected for the game. The control unit 101 moves the process to S602 when the selected menu is "prop card purchase", moves the process to S605 when it is "1P game", and moves the process to "605 game" when it is "1P game". S614.

In S602, the control unit 101 performs a process of discharging the item card. Moreover, the control unit 101 determines in S603 whether or not the number of cards discharged during the game play reaches the upper limit number of sheets. The control unit 101 completes the game processing when it is determined that the number of sheets of the ejected card has reached the upper limit number, and if the determination is that the number of the cards has not been reached, the process proceeds to S604.

In S604, the control unit 101 accepts whether or not the operation input of the additional card is discharged, and determines the operation input of the completion. When the control unit 101 determines that the operation input related to the discharge of the additional card has been completed, the control unit 101 returns the processing to S602 after completing the equivalent payment for the card purchase. Moreover, the control unit 101 completes the game processing when it is determined that the operation input of the purpose of not discharging the additional card has been completed.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S601 that the "1P game" menu is selected, the control unit 101 performs the process of discharging the item card in S605. Moreover, in S606, the identification unit 109 determines Whether or not a personal card is placed at a specific position of the game device 100 is broken. The identification unit 109 identifies the card in S607 when it is determined that the personal card is placed, and obtains the user-specific information, and stores the information as user-specific information (player-specific information) of the user in the game in the memory. Body 103, and the process is moved to S608. At this time, in order to notify the user that the personal card has been recognized, the drawing unit 105 may also display the notification related to the notification and display it on the display unit 106. Moreover, the identification unit 109 moves the process to S608 when it is determined that the personal card is not placed.

In S608, the control unit 101 determines which of the selection selection mode and the team selection mode is selected. The control unit 101 moves the process to S609 when it is determined that the selection selection mode is selected, and moves the process to S610 when it is determined that the team selection mode is selected.

In S609, the control unit 101 performs a selection process related to the selection and selection mode.

<Selection Processing (Selection)>

Here, regarding the selection processing (selection) performed in this step, details will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In S701, the control unit 101 accepts the selection of the type of the selected selection theme, the selection of the operation character of the appearance of the theme selection, and the installation result based on the identification result of the item card obtained by the identification unit 109. The operation input related to the decision of the item. In the present step, the control unit 101 is configured to transmit the information to the server 300 via the communication unit 108 to request the corresponding user information, and receive and store the information in the memory. 103. Further, the drawing unit 105 generates a list screen of the user's use characters reflecting the network image information 1134 and the accessory information 1135 of each character based on the received user information usage character information 1122, and displays the list screen on the display unit 106. The control unit 101 determines an operation character based on an operation input for the completion of the screen. In addition, in this case, when the information (not shown) in which the user has changed the network image information 1134 and the decoration information 1135 in the personal page is included in the user information, the drawing unit 105 may reflect the change. The notification (UPDATE!, etc.) is marked in the corresponding Displayed by the character.

In the processing of S702 to S705 below, the control unit 101 performs processing for determining the role of the opponent to be played in the selection of the theme selected in the selection and selection mode.

In S702, the control unit 101 determines whether there is a user who completes the invitation to select the selection. Specifically, the control unit 101 first determines whether or not the user information corresponding to the player-specific information is stored in the memory 103. Then, when there is a storage situation, the control unit 101 refers to the friend list 1125 of the user information, and performs the determination of this step based on whether or not the data of the invitation flag 1153 is true. When the control unit 101 determines that there is a user who has completed the invitation, the process proceeds to S703, and when it is determined that there is no case, the process proceeds to S705.

In S703, the control unit 101 adds the display role related to the user who has completed the invitation as the competition target character to participate in the selection. Specifically, the control unit 101 transmits the user-specific information 1151 of the data whose invitation flag 1153 is true to the server 300, and obtains the role related to the role indicated by the display role ID 1142 in the corresponding user information. Information (role information). Then, the control unit 101 stores the character information as the information of the opponent character in the memory 103. In the process of this step, when the number of users who complete the invitation is greater than the upper limit of the opponent role, as long as the role information obtained for each user is included, the selection theme corresponding to the selection selected by the user will be installed. The role of the item information 1136 is preferably selected as the target role of the competition.

In S704, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the number of roles related to the user who completed the invitation as stored in the memory object 103 has reached the upper limit of the opponent role. When the control unit 101 determines that the number of opponent objects has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to S706, and when it is determined that the number of opponents is insufficient, the process proceeds to S705.

In S705, the control unit 101 stores the character information acquired from the server 300 based on the pre-set conditions in the memory 103 until the number of the opponent objects is the upper limit. In addition, the pre-set conditions may use an installation road having a selection theme such as the selected one. The role of the information 1136 or the various status information 1124 included in the user information is various conditions such as the display role of the user of the same ranking. Further, the determination as to whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied may be performed by the server control unit 301 based on, for example, a request to be completed by the game device 100.

In S706, the control unit 101 performs processing related to the rhythm game based on the selection of the selected theme. The rhythm game is controlled and developed in such a manner that the opponent character determined by the processing of S702 to S705 is debuted on the platform. In the execution of the rhythm game, the control unit 101 performs processing for determining the success or failure of the operation input by the user. Then, the control section 101 completes the selection process when the rhythm game is completed, and returns the process to the game process.

On the other hand, when it is determined in the game processing S608 that the team selection is selected, the control unit 101 performs the selection process related to the team selection in S610.

<Selection Processing (Team)>

Here, regarding the selection processing (team) performed in this step, details will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the selection process (team), the same steps as those of the above-described selection process (selection) are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

After the selection of the theme and the selection of the operation character and the determination of the installation item are completed in S701, the control unit 101 performs the role of the team member candidate in the team selection process in the following processes S801 to S804.

In S801, the control unit 101 determines whether or not there is a role of completing the invitation to select the team. Specifically, the control unit 101 first determines whether or not the user information corresponding to the player-specific information is stored in the memory 103. Then, when there is a storage situation, the control unit 101 refers to the teammate list 1126 of the user information, and performs the determination of this step based on whether or not the data including the value of the invitation flag 1169 is true. The control unit 101 moves the process to S802 when it is determined that there is a role of completing the invitation, and moves the process to S804 when it is determined that there is no case.

In S802, the control unit 101 adds the role information (including the user-specific information 1161, the role name 1163, the parameter information 1164, the network image information 1165, the ornament information 1166, and the installation item information 1167) of the completed invitation character to the storage. A list of team member candidates in memory 103. In addition, when the number of the roles of the invitation is more than the upper limit of the team member candidates, the character information having the installation item information 1167 conforming to the selection theme selected by the user is preferentially added to the list.

In S803, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the character information added to the list of team member candidates reaches the upper limit of the predetermined team member candidate. When the control unit 101 determines that the character information added to the list has reached the upper limit of the team member candidate, the process proceeds to S805, and when it is determined that the role is insufficient, the process proceeds to S804.

In S804, the control unit 101 adds the character information acquired from the server 300 according to the preset conditions until the number of character information included in the list of team member candidates is the upper limit. Further, the pre-set conditions are as long as the role of the friend relationship established as described above, the role used by another user in the same game device 100, or other use in the other game device 100 connectable via the network 200. The role information such as the role used by the person is extracted according to, for example, the theme of the platform for selection, and is added until the list of candidate members of the team reaches the upper limit.

In S805, the control unit 101 determines, from the determined role of the team member candidate, the role of the participating player as the team member based on the operation input performed by the user. The decision screen of the team member may be, for example, the screen of FIG. 9 . In addition to the operation character 901 of the user who plays the game, each of the four characters is also input for the operation of the change button 902, whereby the user can Team members are allowed to display in sequence while deciding on team members. Further, for example, when the invitation 509 of the name "△△△△" in the teammate is completed as shown in FIG. 5, the corresponding character 903 may be displayed on the screen of FIG. Notice 904 of the character. The control unit 101 moves the process to S806 after the team member determines, or when it is determined that the preset time limit has elapsed.

In S806, the control unit 101 transmits the role information determined to be the role of the team member to the server 300 via the communication unit 108, and requests the teammate list 1126 for updating the user information corresponding to the user-specific information. Specifically, when the character is already included in the teammate list 1126 as a teammate, the control unit 101 requests the server control unit 301 to change the teammate continuous value 1168 of the corresponding material to the maximum value. Further, when the character has not been included in the teammate list 1126 as a teammate, the control unit 101 may request the server control unit 301 to add the material corresponding to the character to the teammate list 1126.

In S807, the control unit 101 performs processing related to the rhythm game for team selection based on the selected theme. The rhythm game is controlled in such a way that the role of the team members identified in S805 is presented on the platform. In the execution of the rhythm game, the control unit 101 performs processing for determining the success or failure of the operation input by the user. Then, the control section 101 completes the selection process when the rhythm game is completed, and returns the process to the game process.

In this way, when the various selected rhythm games related to the "1P game" are completed, the control unit 101 evaluates the game result (score) of the rhythm game in the game processing S611, and displays the result on the display unit 106. Then, in S612, the control section 101 determines whether the evaluation of the score satisfies the condition for generating a specific event. The specific event includes an event (selection) in which the role played by the invitation is set as a teammate, for example, in the selected target role. At this time, the condition for generating the event may be set to the condition for evaluation in comparison with the case where the friend relationship with the user corresponding to the role appearing because of the invitation is established, and the case where it is more difficult to generate in the case where it is not established. Further, in the specific event, it is only necessary to include an event requesting the establishment of a friend relationship in which the user corresponding to the opponent character is requested to be a friend of the Web friend. The judgment of the occurrence of the event may be performed based on the evaluation of the score, or may be determined to be a certain producer only when the friend relationship with the user corresponding to the character is not generated.

The control unit 101 moves the process to S613 when it is determined that the evaluation of the achievement satisfies the condition for generating the specific event, and moves the process to S619 when it is determined that the situation is not satisfied. Then, in S613, the control unit 101 causes a specific event to be generated. The specific event is as described above, and if it is a selection event, the character information corresponding to the character is transmitted to the server 300 via the communication unit 108, and the information of the character is added to the teammate list 1126 of the user information corresponding to the user. Further, in the game system of the present embodiment, when such a selection is made, the user who has created the character is newly controlled to give, for example, a preferential accessory. Specifically, the control unit 101 is configured to transmit the user-specific information 1151 of the user who generated the role, and to update all the accessory lists 1128 of the user information corresponding to the specific information. The server control unit 301 is instructed. The grant of such a privilege may also be given to the user who created the additional role not only at the time of selection but also when the team member is added to the team member. In addition, when the role of the user is selected in such a way that the role generated by the user is selected by other users or set as a team member, the user is also given a discount, and the user is activated to communicate or improve the use. The effect of interest in the game.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S601 that the "2P game" menu is selected, the control unit 101 performs a process of discharging the item card for each of the two-person users in S614. Further, in S615, the identification unit 109 determines whether or not a personal card is placed at a specific position of the game device 100. The identification unit 109 identifies the card in S616 when it is determined that the personal card is placed, and after acquiring the user-specific information, stores the information as user-specific information (player-specific information) of the user in the game. The memory 103 is moved and the process is moved to S617. Moreover, the identification unit 109 moves the process to S617 when it is determined that it is not placed.

In S617, the control unit 101 performs a 2P game related selection process.

<Selection Processing (2P)>

Here, regarding the selection processing (2P) performed in this step, details will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In S1001, the control unit 101 accepts the selection of the type of the selected selection theme, the selection of the operation role of each user who appears in the selection, and the installation result of the item card obtained by the identification unit 109, and the installation result is installed in each operation role. The operation input of the decision of the props. In the present step, when the memory specific information is stored in the memory 103, the control unit 101 transmits the information to the server 300 via the communication unit 108 to request the corresponding user information, and receives and stores the information in the memory 103.

In S1002, the control unit 101 accepts an operation input related to the determination of the selected game method by the user, and acquires information indicating which of the cooperative game and the competition game is selected, and stores the information in the memory 103.

In S1003, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the player-specific information about the two users is stored in the memory 103. The control unit 101 moves the processing when it is determined that the case where the player-specific information of the two users is stored in the memory 103 is moved to S1004, and it is determined that the player-specific information of at least one of the users is not stored. To S1005.

In S1004, the control unit 101 is set up between the users of the two players currently playing the game, and the friend relationship of the friend category is established. Specifically, the control unit 101 transmits the player-specific information of the two users to the server 300 via the communication unit 108, and the server control unit 301 adds the friend list 1125 of the user information corresponding to each player-specific information. The user-specific information 1151 of each other is indicated as the friend category 1152 of the IC friend user and the initial value is the dummy invitation flag 1153. Further, in the game of the present embodiment, users who simultaneously play games in the same game device 100 are also registered as teammates. Therefore, the control unit 101 transmits the information of the operation roles of the two users to the server 300, and the server control unit 301 adds the operational roles of each other to the teammate list 1126 of the user information corresponding to each player-specific information. Update with information.

In S1005, the control unit 101 performs processing related to the rhythm game based on the information of the game method stored in S1002 and the selection of the selected theme. This rhythm game is different from the 1P game, and is controlled by only the operation characters of two users appearing on the platform. development of. In the execution of the rhythm game, the control unit 101 performs processing for determining the success or failure of the operation input by the user. Then, the control section 101 completes the selection process when the rhythm game is completed, and returns the process to the game process.

When the selection of the rhythm game related to the "2P game" is completed, the control unit 101 evaluates the game result (score) of the rhythm game in the game processing S618, and displays the result on the display unit 106.

In this case, when the user's information corresponding to the player-specific information is stored in the memory 103 after the tempo game is completed in the 1P game or the 2P game, the control unit 101 refers to the schedule information 1127 of the user information in S619 to determine. Whether to include the reservation for playing the game on the date (current date) where the game is played. The control unit 101 moves the process to S620 when the date of the game play is the predetermined date of the game play, and moves to S621 when the predetermined date of the game play is not realized.

In S620, the control unit 101 transmits the information of the player history information including the score and the date of the game play to the server 300 via the communication unit 108, and causes various status information 1124 and scheduling of the user information corresponding to the user. The information 1127 is updated to the server control unit 301. Further, the game control unit 301 is controlled to complete the game processing by assigning a new ornament to all of the accessories list 1128, for example, the user information, as a reward for playing the game in accordance with the predetermined game.

On the other hand, in a case where the predetermined date of the game play is not realized, the control unit 101 transmits the game history information including the game result and the date of the game play to the server 300 via the communication unit 108 in S621. The state information 1124 and the schedule information 1127 of the user information corresponding to the user are updated to the server control unit 301 to complete the game processing.

As described above, according to the game device or the game system of the embodiment, the convenience of the game device installed in a store or the like can be improved. Specifically, the game device executes the game-related processing in accordance with the equivalent payment. The game device first obtains a specific play game.
