Further, in the present embodiment, the first article and the second object of the present invention are configured to have different aspects. The former is the item that is generated in the game device when the game is provided in the game device of the embodiment, and the latter is a different game game provided by the game device different from the game device of the embodiment. In the case of the game, it will be described as an item that is generated and discharged in the game device. In the following description, for the sake of simplicity, the game content of the game game provided in the game device of the present embodiment is set to "this work content", and the game content of the game device provided by the different game device is set to " The content of the old work is described as the successor of the work of the old work. Here, the term "subsequent work" refers to a player who provides a common role or world view, a game mode, a game experience flow, a game item used, a basic appearance of a game shell, a game title, etc., at least a part of the elements. A work that has a common or similar relationship with the content of an old work.

In addition, the first work generated by the game device of the present embodiment which provides the content of the present work is referred to as "this work card", and the second item generated by the game device providing the different contents of the old work is referred to as "the old work card". In terms of. In the present embodiment, the game article that can be used in the game device is described as a card player. However, the game article is not limited to the card as long as it is configured to be able to acquire the article information to be described later. In the case where a device capable of generating a three-dimensional shaped object such as a so-called 3D printer is connected to the game device, the game article may be a figure such as a character or a figure of the object, and the item information may also be recorded from inside the shape object. Part of the appearance of the media, or the stamp or print attached to the shape. The game items are not only statues, but also toys or labels.

Further, in the present embodiment, the card used for the game game may be different depending on which of the work content and the old work content is executed in the game device in which the card is generated. Although the description is made, the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. The two types of cards are not necessarily generated by the game device. Also in the implementation of the present invention, two types of cards The game content corresponding to the piece is not necessarily the game content having the relationship between the preceding work and the successor work, and may be, for example, content having relevance, so-called content having a relationship of providing a mutually convertible game experience by cohesion or the like. In this case, it is preferable that the card of the content of the other one of the contents of the one of the contents may be used in the game game, and the game element corresponding to the card in the content of the other one is in the content of the one. It can also be composed in the middle.

"The composition of the game system"

Fig. 1 is a view showing the system configuration of a game game for providing the content of the present work in the game system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the gaming system is configured to enable the gaming device 100 to communicate with the server 200 via the network 300.

<Configuration of Game Device 100>

Here, the functional configuration of the game device 100 will be described using the block diagram of FIG.

The control unit 101 is, for example, a CPU, and controls the operations of the respective blocks included in the game device 100. Specifically, the control unit 101 reads out, for example, an operation program recorded in each block of the recording medium 102, and executes it in the memory 103 to control the operation of each block.

The recording medium 102 is a recording device capable of permanently retaining data such as non-volatile memory or HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The recording medium 102 stores information such as parameters necessary for the operation of each block or various graphic data used for the game executed by the game device 100, in addition to the operation program of each block of the game device 100. The memory 103 is, for example, a memory device for temporary data storage such as volatile memory. The memory 103 is used not only as an expansion area of an operation program of each block but also as a storage area for temporarily storing data and the like outputted in the operation of each block.

The payment detecting unit 104 detects that an equivalent payment is made in the game device 100. An equivalent payment may also be a coin or equivalent token that is invested by detecting, for example, a coin input, or It is judged based on completion of settlement processing of communication of a wafer related to a specific electronic money, and the like. The game device 100 of the present embodiment is described as a player who starts to provide a game game to the user based on the equivalent payment. However, the equivalent payment is not an essential requirement, and the game game may be started based on the specific start instruction. By.

When the acquisition unit 105 is in the game game of the content of the work provided by the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the information obtained by at least one of the character and the object used in the game is acquired as the article information. The item information is obtained from a game item, that is, a card, via a reader 120 that is detachably connected to the outside of the game device 100 in the same casing as the game device 100. At this time, in order to convert the article information obtained from the card into a form suitable for the processing and use of the game, a specific data conversion process or the like may be performed. The reader 120 performs detection of a card placed on a specific portion, and identification of the article or acquisition of information from the article, for example, using an imaging device and specific image processing.

In the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the reader 120 and the acquisition unit 105 are configured to acquire item information from both the work card and the old work card. Here, the difference between the work card and the old work card will be described using FIG. In addition, in FIG. 7, a card system corresponds to any one of the characters that can be played in the game, and the pattern (character image) of the character is exemplified, but the card and the game are not excluded. The likelihood that an object or other game element corresponds.

Fig. 7(a) illustrates a work card in which the content of the present work of the game game is provided in the game device 100 of the present embodiment. This work card is generated and discharged when it is played in a game game such as the content of this work. As shown, the work card 700 has, in addition to the character image 701, the character name 702, and various parameters 703, a code image for identifying at least a portion of the identifiable information in the game device 100. 704. In the present embodiment, the code image 704 is obtained by converting the item information corresponding to the card using a specific conversion operation, for example, a one-dimensional or multi-dimensional pattern, and is configured to be read by the reader 120. Information on items can be obtained.

Further, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the card that can be used is described as a game element corresponding to the character, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. Of course, for a card, it can also be used as a game element, corresponding to an object other than a character, or other elements.

Fig. 7(b) illustrates an old work card in which the contents of the old work of the game game are provided in the game device different from the game device 100 of the present embodiment. When the old work card is, for example, one game game of the old work content, one piece is produced and discharged. As shown, the old work card 710, in the same manner as the work card 700, has a character image 711, a character name 712, various parameters 713, and a code image 714 that is configured to recognize at least a portion of the information.

In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the work card and the old work card are configured to have the same size and shape. Further, when it is placed on a specific mounting position (not shown) on the reader 120, the card information can be obtained by the same method regardless of whether the card is a work card or an old work card. The arrangement positions of the code images of the cards of the two cards are configured to be at the same position when placed on the reader 120. That is, the arrangement position of the code image on the card is common to both the work card and the old work card. However, as described later, the item information includes the information of the unique card, and is configured differently for each card, so the appearance (pattern) of the code image is different.

On the other hand, as shown in Figures 7(a) and (b), the work card and the old product card are in the composition of the reading surface (the face of the printed code image), and at least the card except the code image. The character images in the characters are different. Figures 7(a) and (b) show the work card and the old work card corresponding to the same character in a manner showing the same character name. The difference in the gesture pattern of the character image may be, for example, the same character as in this example, but the character images printed on the card are different. Further, as shown in the figure, the position where the character image is printed or the size or shape of the character image may be different. In addition, this work card and the old work card can also be used to distinguish each card from any game. The method of accommodating the cards, for example, the contents of the printed matter of the card, such as the items of various parameters or the font of the character name.

Further, in the present embodiment, the article information is described as being printed on the card as a code image in a visible state. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, invisible. The ink is printed and attached to a recording medium such as an IC chip contained in the card, and is held as a material.

The item information attached to the card may also be composed of, for example, the materials of Figures 8(a) and (b). Figure 8(a) shows the data structure of the item information attached to this work card. As shown in the figure, the item information attached to the work card is associated with the work card ID 801 that uniquely identifies the work card, and has the following: game ID 802, which indicates that the card is provided for the content of the work; The character ID 803 specifies a role corresponding to the card; and the work ranking information 804 is used to specify various parameters corresponding to the card. In addition, in the present embodiment, the ranking information is described as a character level in the game (indicating the value of the growth stage) for the sake of brevity, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible to set a stage in a game with various parameters such as physical strength or attack power, skill, skill, and the like, and the display rank information 804 can be any information such as specific information. .

Fig. 8(b) shows the data structure of the article information attached to the old work card. As shown, the item information attached to the old work card is associated with the old work card ID 801 of the uniquely specific old work card and is set to have the following: game ID 812, which displays the card for the old work content provider; The work character ID 813, which has a role corresponding to the card, and the old work ranking information 814, are used to specify various parameters corresponding to the card. As described above, the old work ranking information 814 is described as a character level in the game for the sake of simplicity.

Here, the game ID 802 and the game ID 812 may also mainly provide a basic use of the card tour. A game device of a game game that identifies information about the content of the game being executed. In other words, in the present embodiment, the game ID 802 and the game ID 812 are different in displaying the content of the work and the content of the old work. In connection with this, the work card ID 801 and the old work card ID 811 may be information uniquely unique to each other, or may be a combination of the game ID 802 or the game ID 812 to uniquely specify the information of the card. In this case, the work card ID 801 used in the content of the work and the old work card ID 811 used in the content of the old work may also be the same information.

In addition, the character shared by the content of the present work and the content of the old work may be related to the game, but in the present embodiment, the character ID attached to each of the characters that can be played in the game is attached to each content. It is explained as a different person. In other words, even if the character ID 803 and the old work character ID 813 are the same characters, it is set to display different identification information. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto, and in the case of a card with a character image corresponding to the same character, the present character ID 803 and the old work character ID 813 may be those using the same identification information.

Further, in the present embodiment, the ranking information is described as a character level on a game in which the priority of the game is changed. However, the work ranking information 804 and the old work ranking information 814 may be a range of settable values. Different people. For example, in the content of the old work, the rank of the character is set to 1 to 40. According to the content of the game game that cultivates the content, one character is set to be up to 40. On the other hand, in the content of this work, the rank of the character is set to 1~50, and a character can be set to a maximum of 50 by the game game that cultivates the content. Here, the higher the level of a character (the larger the number), the more favorable the game is.

The character DB 106 manages a database of character information for each of the characters that are preset in the content of the present work. The character information managed for one character may also have a data constructor as shown, for example, in FIG. 8(c). In the example of Figure 8(c), as a role The role information management managed by the 1 record on the character DB 106: the work role ID 822, which is associated with the material ID 821 identifying the record, and uniquely identifies the character in the content of the work; the work description information 823 is displayed a character image displayed when the character is played in the game of the content based on the work card; and the old work character ID 824, which is specified for the same role in the old work content; The information 825 is displayed on a character image (a character image corresponding to the old work content) displayed when the character is played in the game of the work content based on the old work card. The character image is used for the game screen when it is used in the game game of the content of this work. Further, the character information includes a basic parameter 826 which displays an initial value of a capability parameter inherent to the character of the physical strength or attack power, the skill, the skill, and the like which are set in advance regardless of the state of the growth element (reference value: for example, at level 1 And the growth information 827, which displays the increase or decrease corresponding to the growth (level, number of games, game content) of the various parameters from the basic parameters, or the skill of the additional hand, Skills, etc.

The display control unit 107 is a drawing device that performs a drawing process such as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and generates a game screen. The display control unit 107 performs drawing of the game screen related to the content of the present work. Specifically, the display control unit 107 reads the necessary target for drawing and performs appropriate arithmetic processing based on the information such as the in-game parameters corresponding to the progress of the game, and executes the appropriate arithmetic processing. Depiction. The generated game screen is output to the display unit 130, which is a display device that is detachably connected to the game device 100 or detachably connected to the outside of the game device 100, and is presented to the user by being displayed on a specific display area.

The print control unit 108 generates a print of the work card including the print output of the code image of the article information and the character image for the role of the cardization (the card is generated by printing). data. When the print data is generated by the print control unit 108, the print data is sent to the printing unit 140 together with the print command, and the printed card is instructed to be printed and discharged. The printing unit 140 is configured as a printing device such as a printer that can be connected to the game device 100 in the same casing or detachably connected to the printing control unit 108 outside the game device 100. When the printing unit 140 receives the printing data of the card and the printing command of the data from the printing control unit 108, the printing unit 140 performs a printing operation of the printing material. When the printing unit 140 is built in the same casing as the game device 100, the card discharged by printing can be taken out from the outside of the game device 100 to an accessible outlet (not shown) and provided to the user.

The operation input unit 109 is, for example, a user interface provided by the game device 100 for inputting an operation member for direction input or for determining an input operation member or various sensors. When the operation input unit 109 detects an operation input to the operation member, the operation input unit 109 outputs a control signal corresponding to the operation input to the control unit 101. Further, in the present embodiment, the game device 100 is described as a physical operation member, and various types of interfaces are described. However, for example, the touch input detection feeling of the touch input performed on the screen of the display unit 130 may be included. Detector, etc.

The communication unit 110 is a communication interface that the game device 100 has. The communication unit 110 converts information input as a transmission target into a specific format, for example, and transmits the information to the external device (server 200) via the network 300. Further, when the communication unit 110 receives information via the network 300, for example, the communication unit 110 decodes the information and stores it in the memory 103.

<Composition of Server 200>

Next, the functional configuration of the server 200 will be described using FIG. 3. In the description of the configuration of the server 200, the configuration of the same function as that of the game device 100 is described with the prefix of the "server" and can be discriminated.

The server control unit 201 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit: central processing unit) Element) controls the action of each block of the server 200. Specifically, the server control unit 201 reads, for example, an operation program recorded in each block of the server recording medium 202, and controls the operation of each block by the server memory 203 being developed and executed.

The server recording medium 202 is a recording device that can hold data for a long period of time, such as a non-volatile memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The server recording medium 202 stores information such as parameters necessary for the operation of each block in addition to the operation programs of the blocks included in the server 200. The server memory 203 is a memory device used for temporary data storage such as volatile memory. The server memory 203 is used not only as an expansion area of an operation program of each block but also as a storage area for temporarily storing data and the like outputted in the operation of each block.

The generated card DB 204 manages whether or not the library for the production of the work card is based on the card for each of the old work cards issued or generated for the old work content. The information managed in the generated card DB 204 may also be information for managing, for example, whether or not the old work card ID 811 is associated with, for example, information generated by logical type information.

The server communication unit 205 is a communication interface that the server 200 has. The server communication unit 205 converts information input as a transmission target into a specific format of data, and transmits the information to the external device (game device 100) via the network 300. Further, if the server communication unit 205 receives information via the network 300, for example, the information is decoded and stored in the server memory 203. Specifically, in the server 200 of the present embodiment, when receiving the information of the old work card ID 811 generated by the work card based on the old work card together with the information update request, the server control unit 201 The old work card ID 811 is updated with the information managed by the generated card DB 204 to the state in which the work card has been generated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the server 200, which is an external device, is configured to manage whether or not to generate information of the work card based on the old work card for each old work card, and a plurality of games. The game device 100 can access the information, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, for the generated card DB 204 and its information management, it may be installed in the game device 100 alone.

"The game is handled"

In the game device 100 of the present embodiment having such a configuration, the specific processing is described using the flowchart of FIG. 4 for the game processing of the game game providing the content of the present work. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 101 reading, for example, a corresponding processing program stored in the memory medium 102, and executing it in the memory 103. In addition, the game processing is described as, for example, the start of the equivalent detection of the game game by the payment detecting unit 104. The display control unit 107 appropriately generates a screen corresponding to the game based on the processing or the command by the control unit 101, and displays it on the display unit 130, unless otherwise specified.

In S401, the control unit 101 performs a registration process of registering a character (using a character) used in the game game. By reading the work card or the old work card by the reader 120 as described above (to obtain the card information from the card), or by the control unit 101 using the lottery process or the like, the character that can appear in the game is selected. Log in.

<Login processing>

Here, the registration processing executed in S401 of the game processing will be described in detail using the flowchart of FIG. 5.

In S501, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the registration of the use role is completed. The completion of the registration using the character may be performed based on the detection of the user's operation input related to the end of the registration or the registration of the use role of the upper limit number. Further, in the content of the present work provided in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, for example, in the state in which the card is not held during the initial experience, The game game can be played, and the operation input related to the completion of the registration can be performed without using the card to log in using the character, whereby the user can omit the use of the character registration to play the game.

When the control unit 101 determines that the registration of the use role is completed, the control unit 101 completes the login process. In this case, when the number of registered use characters does not reach the upper limit, the control unit 101 acquires the character information from the character DB 106 for the insufficient number of characters selected based on the specific lottery process, and adds the character information to the memory. 103 management can use the role management table. The character thus added may also be a player selected from a role that is preset to be used even if there is no card. In addition, the information managed for a role in the role management table is, for example, as shown in FIG. 8(d), and may also be associated with the role ID 831 and includes the following information: a game used in the game game of this time. The office time parameter 832, the drawing information 833, the card usage flag 834 indicating whether or not the card is used to log in using the role (for example, logical type), indicating whether the character is registered based on the old work card (for example, logical type) The old work flag 835, and the card ID 836 of the card used for registration. In the case where an insufficient number of characters are added to the character management table, for example, the basic parameter 822 of the character is substituted into the game-time parameter 832, and the card usage flag 834 is used to indicate that the card is not used in the login (False) : False), and the use of the old work flag 835 indicates that the information is not based on the character registered by the old work card. Further, in the character ID 831 and the drawing information 833, the content of the present work in the obtained character information (the material for drawing represented by the present character ID 822, the present work drawing information 823, or the present work drawing information 823) is substituted. In this case, as long as the card ID 836 is substituted for blank information.

Further, when the control unit 101 determines that the registration of the use role has not ended, the control unit 101 advances the processing to S502.

In S502, the control unit 101 determines whether or not to read the card (target card). Control department The determination of this step is performed based on whether or not the acquisition unit 105 acquires the item information (target item information). When the control unit 101 determines that the target card is to be read, the process proceeds to S503, and when it is determined that the process has not been performed, the process of this step is repeated.

In S503, the control unit 101 determines whether the target card is an old work card. The control unit 101 refers to the game ID 802 or the game ID 812 included in the target item information, and determines whether the target card is the game item of the old work content, that is, the old work card. When the control unit 101 determines that the target card is the old work card, the process proceeds to S504. Further, when the control unit 101 determines that the target card is not the old work card, that is, the case of the work card, the process proceeds to S507. Further, in the present embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, the card that cannot be used in the game game in the game device 100 is described as not being used for the user to be registered, but the error handling that is not available when the card is used is easy. understanding.

In S504, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the production of the work card based on the target card has been performed. As described later, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, when the old work card is used in the game game of the present content, although the work card based on the old work card is possible, if not limited, By permitting it, it is possible to make the work card which is beneficially played by the game flow in a large amount. Therefore, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, only one old work card is allowed to be generated only once based on the work card of the card. Therefore, the control unit 101 transmits the old work card ID 811 included in the target item information to the communication unit 110, and the server 200 is required to provide information on the status of the work card based on the target card. When the control unit 101 sends back the information of the production status from the server 200, the determination of this step is performed based on the information. When the control unit 101 determines that the production of the work card based on the target card has been performed, for example, since the corresponding work card has been generated, it is notified that the target card cannot be used, and the process returns to S501. Further, when the control unit 101 determines that the production of the work card based on the target card has not been performed, the control unit 101 will process Go to S505.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the present card based on the target card is generated, the target card is used as a character registration, but the game card is advantageously prevented from being played as described above. The aspect of mass circulation is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to control that the registration as the use character is confirmed, but when the production is already performed, the production of the work card based on the character cannot be performed.

In S505, the control unit 101 refers to the old work character ID 813 included in the target item information, and acquires the character information of the target card from the character DB 106. Specifically, the control unit 101 acquires the old work character ID 824 in the character information managed by the character DB 106 as the character information ID 813 included in the target item information, that is, the character information.

In S506, the control unit 101 adds various pieces of information to the use character management table based on the character information acquired in S505. The information added to the table in this step is registered based on the used character of the old work card, so the control unit 101 sets the card use flag 834 as the information displayed on the registered use card (True: true), and the old work The flag 835 is set to display the information that the target card is the old work card (True: true), and the card ID 836 is substituted for the old work card ID 811 of the target item information. Further, in order to facilitate the reference in processing, the control unit 101 substitutes the character ID 831 with the present work character ID 822 of the acquired character information. On the other hand, the drawing information 833 is based on the fact that the game is played based on the old work card, and the present information is not based on the character image including the character image of the work content. The old work depiction of the character image corresponding to the work card is set by the information 825.

The use of the role registration is based on the old work card, and it is determined that the user is a user of the game game from the old work content to the content of the work. Therefore, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, when the user is registered based on the used character of the old work card, In the award of the character of the state corresponding to the old work card in the old work content, the game time parameter 832 having a higher basic parameter corresponding to the cultivation status (the old work ranking information 814) is set. When the game is set, the parameter 832 is adjusted to be more favorable to the direction of the game than the old work ranking information 814 of the object information. The reason for this is that if the state of cultivation of the old work content is maintained (for example, the role of reaching the upper limit level), the game balance may be destroyed. More specifically, in the competition game or the score ranking in the content of the present work, it is advantageous only for a part of the user who plays the old work content, and thus it is possible to reduce the interest of the user who has started to use the content of the work. Therefore, in this step, the control unit 101 changes the acquired character level determined by the old work ranking information 814 of the target item information to a lower character level (rank) than the predetermined level of the level, and based on the change The level corresponding to the growth information 827 and the basic parameter 826, the self-obtained character information determines the game time parameter 832.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the character registration is performed based on the old work card, the role of the target is changed to be higher than the basic parameter determined by the content of the work, and the information of the target article obtained from the old work card is older. The ranking information 814 is determined by the ranking of the ranking information 814 (the game progresses to be unfavorable), and the game setting parameter 832 is described. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. The login based on the role of the old work card can be adjusted in such a way as to guarantee a better game experience for the user who plays the content of the work. For example, the character level determined by the old work ranking information 814 of the target item information may be directly used when the growth state does not exceed the character level, and may be adjusted to a specific character level when the specific character level is exceeded. For example, the level of the character determined by the old work ranking information 814 of the free object information may be uniformly subtracted from the specific value (10 level, etc.) as the adjusted level, and the adjusted level is lower than the adjusted level. In the case of the initial level 1, the level is changed to the aspect of 1 or 2. In the case of a change to level 1, there is no reward for the parameters of the game of the old work content, but at least this In the game content of the product content, the role corresponding to the old work card can be used to guarantee the priority of the user. The parameter adjustment at the time of login based on the use role of the old work card is not limited thereto, and should be easily understood or changed to various aspects.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the user who is registered based on the old work card is described as a person who uses the character image of the old work content for the display of the character on the game, but it should be easy to understand. The implementation of the invention is not limited thereto. That is, if the character corresponding to the old work card is used to be understandable by the user, the information used for displaying the character may be the one corresponding to the content of any one.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S503 that the target card is the work card, the control unit 101 refers to the present work character ID 803 included in the target article information in S507, and acquires the character information of the target card from the character DB 106. Specifically, the control unit 101 acquires the character information managed by the character DB 106, and the work character ID 822 is the character information ID 803 included in the target article information, that is, the character information.

In S508, the control unit 101 adds various pieces of information to the use character management table based on the character information acquired in S507. The information added to the table in this step is registered based on the use role of the work card, so the control unit 101 sets the card use flag 834 to display the information of the use card at the time of registration (True: true), and the old work flag is The flag 835 is set to display information that the target card is not the old work card (False: False), and the card ID 836 is substituted for the work card ID 801 of the target item information. Further, the control unit 101 substitutes the role ID 831 of the acquired character information in the character ID 831. Further, the control unit 101 sets the drawing information 833 based on the present drawing information 823. In response to the game time parameter 832, the control unit 101 changes the basic parameter 826 based on the present work ranking information 804 of the target item information based on the obtained character information growth information 827, and substitutes it.

In S505 and S506, or S507 and S508, when the registration of the role of the target card to the use character management table is completed, the control unit 101 returns the process to S501.

When the registration process is completed, the control unit 101 executes a game process of playing a game in which the character registered in the character management table is used as a use character in the game process S402. In addition, the game of the content of the present embodiment of the present embodiment is based on a predetermined number of used characters and a rival opponent, that is, an opponent character, and a battle game based on a predetermined game rule. That is, the control unit 101 executes a competition game controlled in such a manner that the character and the opponent character are used. Further, the competition game is a user who plays the game game in the game device 100 at the same time (so-called two-player battle), and the user who plays the game game in the other game device 100 that is connected via the communication unit 110 and provides the same content ( NPC (Non Player Character) (or AI (Artificial Intelligence)) that performs processing equivalent to a specific program, such as a network game, is implemented between the user and the user. That is, the action decision of the opponent character group is performed by other users or NPCs. When the game processing of the competition game is completed, that is, if the decision to win or lose the match game of the game game to the next game is performed, the control unit 101 advances the process to S403.

In S403, the control unit 101 executes the generation processing of the generated item information for the character of the card game at the current game game.

<production processing>

Here, the generation processing performed in this step will be specifically described using the flowchart of FIG. 6.

In S601, the control unit 101 determines the role (candidate character) to be a candidate for cardization based on the execution content of the game processing. The candidate character includes at least a character group selected as a role to be used, and is added or subtracted based on the execution content of the game processing. The control unit 101 is, for example, at When the game played in the game processing is a battle against a person (a battle with other users), only the role included in the role management table is determined as the candidate role. Further, when the control game 101 is in the case of an NPC game, for example, the control unit 101 may determine the opponent character group as the candidate character in addition to the role of the character management table. At this time, whether to add the opponent character group as the candidate character group, or to consider the result of the competition game, whether the competition game is a cooperative game (a game in which two users cooperate with the NPC), and a competition role or It is determined by at least one of the cardinable conditions. The information of the specific alternate character can also be maintained, for example, in the memory 103.

In S602, the control unit 101 accepts the selection of the character to be cardized among the candidate characters determined in S601. The selection of the character of the card-formed object is displayed on the display unit 130 in a screen for presenting the candidate character, and based on the screen based on the operation input detected by the operation input unit 109. In the present embodiment, the selection of the character is described based on the user's operation input, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when there is a role based on the use of the old work card, it is also possible to promote the change from the content of the old work to the user of the content of the work, or the use of the content of the work that is unique to the content of the work. The method used by the user does not depend on the operation input, but controls the use role as a card object.

In S603, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the character of the selected card-based object is a character registered based on the old work card. Specifically, when the role of the card-based object is included in the role of the character management table, the control unit 101 refers to the old work flag 835 of the corresponding character of the table, and performs the determination of this step. When the control unit 101 determines that the role of the selected card-based object is a character registered based on the old work card, the process proceeds to S604, and when it is determined that the character is not registered based on the old work card, the process proceeds to S606. .

In S604, the control unit 101 generates item information (output item information) for the work card for the character of the selected card object, and completes the generation processing. Specifically, the control unit 101 acquires a new card ID and sets it as the own card ID 801 that outputs the item information. Further, the control unit 101 sets the role ID 831 of the character corresponding to the character management table to the work character ID 803 of the output item information, and generates the ranking information based on the same game time parameter 832 (parameter adjusted in S505 of the registration process). , set to the item ranking information 804 of the output item information. Further, the control unit 101 sets the game ID 802 that outputs the item information as the information for displaying the content of the work, and completes the output of the item information.

In S605, the control unit 101 causes the server 200 to manage the old work card for registration of the character used for the card object, and generates the work card based on the card. More specifically, the control unit 101 transmits the card ID 836 of the character corresponding to the role management table to the communication unit 110, and transmits it to the server 200 together with the information update request.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S603 that the character of the card object is not the character registered based on the old work card, the control unit 101 generates the output item information for the character of the selected card object in S606. Specifically, the control unit 101 performs the acquisition of the new card ID and the determination of the parameter (the work ranking information 804) based on the execution content of the game processing, and sets the character ID of the card-targeting character and the game ID 802 indicating the content of the work. The information is combined to produce output item information. The parameter determined based on the execution content may be, for example, an absolute value after the increase or decrease, or may be a relative value to the basic parameter. In the latter case, for example, when the card object character is not using the character, the display may not increase or decrease from the basic parameter, and may also display parameters and basic parameters for adding changes corresponding to the result of the game to the basic parameter. The difference. Further, the parameter determination may be dynamically determined, for example, by considering the result of the competition game or the number of times of carding for the same character.

When the process is completed, the print control unit 108 generates print information of the ejected card in the game process S404, and instructs the print unit 140 to print. More specifically, the print control unit 108, under the control of the control unit 101, arranges the code image 704 based on the output item information generated in the generation processing and the card-based object role as shown in FIG. 7(a). The character image 701 further includes various parameters 703 and the like after the change to generate printed materials. Here, the character image 701 of the character of the card to be used is a character image of the present work drawing information 823 included in the character, and may be configured to be easily discriminated from the old work card. The printed material is sent to the printing unit 140 together with the print command, and the printing unit 140 prints the card based on it and discharges it. When the discharge is completed, or after the printing instruction is issued, the control unit 101 completes the game processing after the predetermined time has elapsed as the requester.

According to this aspect, in the game device of the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a better game experience to the user for the game content in which the game game using the articles generated based on the different specifications can be performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the present work ranking information 804 that outputs the article information based on the parameters is described as a determinant, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as a game game that only uses the old work card, it is beneficial to the game, and the user of the old work content can provide a better game experience than other users. Therefore, in the generation of the work card based on the old work card, the work work ranking information 804 that outputs the item information based on the basic parameters of the work content may be determined as, for example, an initial value. In this case, the user can be given the opportunity to obtain the work card of the same role as the old work card, and the fairness of the user is guaranteed in the game experience of using the work card of the character.

[Embodiment 2]

However, by using the card held by the login of the character, the same character is selected in the role selection of the card object, and in the game device in which the character card of the growing state is obtained, the user can hold There are multiple cards for a character. In particular, in the game content in which the growth factor of the role of the change of the increase in the parameter value or the addition of the special effect is used, the user can use the same card until the card of the desired growth state is discharged. The game is played, so a card held by one user for the same character can also be a large amount.

That is, the status of holding a plurality of old work cards for one character means that the user makes more investment in the game of the old work content. Therefore, it is preferable that the reward setting of the parameters of the game of the old work content is poor between such a user and a user who holds only one old work card of the same character. Therefore, in the case of using the role registration in the present embodiment, when a plurality of old work cards of the same character are used, the manner in which the game parameters of the character are changed in different manners will be described. In addition, the configuration of the game system of the present embodiment, the configuration of the game device 100, and the various processes executed in the game device 100 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the description will be omitted below. Composition.

Login Processing

In the registration process of the present embodiment, when the object item information of the old work character ID 813 which is the same as the role added to the use character management table by the old work card is re-acquired, the number of registrations of the use character is not counted. The information is stored in such a way as to maintain the information of the old work card that has been added and the information of the newly acquired old work card.

Further, in the registration process of the first embodiment, the adjustment of the game time parameter 832 is performed in S506. However, in the registration process of the present embodiment, the adjustment of the game time parameter based on the role of the old work card registration is performed. Control is determined until the login of the role is determined to be used in S501. Do not proceed until the bundle.

Specifically, in S506 of the present embodiment, the control unit 101 performs the role ID 831, the drawing information 833, and the card on the use character management table based on the target item information acquired from the old work card and the character information acquired in association with the card. The information of the flag 834 and the old work flag 835 is stored, and the information of the parameter 832 and the card ID 836 at the time of the game is not added to the table. On the other hand, the control unit 101 stores the old work card ID 811 and the old work ranking information 814 of the target item information of the information that is not added, for example, in the memory 103.

When it is determined that the registration of the use character is completed, the control unit 101 determines the game time parameter 832 and the card ID 836 included in the corresponding information of the use character management table for each of the characters registered in the role based on the old work card. . More specifically, the control unit 101 adjusts the game time parameter 832 in the same manner as the registration process of the first embodiment in the role of the number of article information acquired in association with the registration (the character registered based on one old work card). And the setting of the card ID836. On the other hand, the number of pieces of article information acquired in connection with the registration is a plural number (a plurality of characters registered based on the old work card corresponding to the same character), and the control unit 101 stores the plural number stored in the memory 103 in association with the character. The old work card ID 811 is set to the card ID 836. Further, the control unit 101 determines the game time parameter 832 so as to correspond to a higher level of the character level specified by any one of the plurality of old work ranking information 814 stored in the memory 103 associated with the character. At this time, it is preferable to determine the game time parameter 832 for the level higher than the level based on the lowest character level among the plurality of old work ranking information 814, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it may be a method in which the sum of the character ranks of the plurality of old work ranking information 814 is different based on the character rank of the old work ranking information 814. In this case, for example, when the sum of the character levels is greater than the threshold, the character level of the plurality of old work ranking information 814 below the specific value is used as a reference, or When the sum of the ranks is smaller than the threshold value, the character rank of the plurality of old work ranking information 814 that is higher than the specific value is set as the reference. For another example, the more the number of ranking information 814 stored in the old work may be controlled by the higher character level in the plurality of old work ranking information 814.

With this arrangement, since the priority of the game can be changed according to the investment of the user of the game of the old work content, in particular, the user of the game content of the old work content can be concerned about the content of the work.
