The first game operation of the game device 100 is started with the completion of the payment of the equivalent value. If the game operation is started, the role of the game player is determined (the operation character), or the role of the game player's operation character (hereinafter, the same as the use role is indiscriminately mentioned), the execution role is used. Debut game processing.

The character can be used to register the character corresponding to each item by reading the item information of the card or the game currency by the first reader 120 or the second reader 130. Alternatively, it is possible to skip the registration based on the item information when the game player does not hold any item, and register the specific role assigned by the lottery process or the like as the use character. In the present embodiment, for the sake of simplification, a case where one character is used will be described.

The game provided by the game processing includes the following program: performing a battle program between the use character and the opponent character, and after the battle program is finished or finished, the specific effect related to the generation of the game or card ( The roulette program of the reel (draw) game of special skills/effects, role growth rewards, character level changes, etc.

In the competition program, the game player can operate the opponent character determined by the result of the specific processing by performing the operation input as the battle game of the opponent. In the present embodiment, in order to simplify, it is possible to set the number of opponent characters to one corresponding to the role to be used, for example. It is determined by a lottery process or the like, for example, based on a game player's mode selection, or when the occurrence of an event of a competition game is determined in a specific game.

In the game provided by the game device 100 of the present embodiment, in the competition program, the use character registered by the game player can be used as a role of the action of the battle in the battle game with the opponent character. For each of the roles to be used, various parameters (operational parameters) reflecting the growth state of the card game or the game currency having the influence on the progress (or the victory or defeat) of the competition game are set. The progress of the game of the battle program is determined based on the parameter at the time of the operation, and the more the growth state is performed for the same character (for example, the higher the character level of the level information), the more advantageous it is. Moreover, during the progress of the game, reference may be made to the state of the reel game information 405, for example, in the case where the three stop motions match the specific character, or in the state where the stop motion is straight (like the draw) (by In the case where the remaining one stoppage result is determined and the combination of the stoppage results is more in line with the specific character), the corresponding special effect may be generated, and control for facilitating the progress of the game is performed. When the growth state of the use character is changed from the time of registration based on the operation content of the competition game, the card generation instruction is issued for the post-growth use character, and the game player can start the card corresponding to the post-growth character.

Operational Processing

In the game device 100 of the present embodiment having the above configuration, the specific processing is explained using the flowchart of FIG. 5 for the operation providing processing related to the one-time game operation. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 101 reading a processing program stored in, for example, the recording medium 102, and expanding and executing the memory 103.

Specifically, the control unit 101 operates the acquisition unit 105, the first reader 120, and the second reader 130 so that the article information of the registered character can be acquired. At this time, under the control of the control unit 101, the presentation control unit 107 displays the screen and the sound of the state in which the current card or the coin is read as a standby state, and the display unit 140 and the sound are output. The part 150 makes a prompt.

In S602, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the reading of the article information of any of the cards (target articles) from the card and the medal is completed. The control unit 101 determines whether or not the acquisition of the article information (target article information) via the first reader 120 or the second reader 130 by the acquisition unit 105 is performed. When the control unit 101 determines that the reading of the target item information is completed, the control unit 101 shifts the processing to S603, and if it is determined that the processing is not completed, the processing of this step is repeated. In addition, the control unit 101 acquires, from the character DB 106, the selection based on the lottery process for the character determined to be the initial character, for example, without performing the information acquisition from the article. Character role information, and use the role information and games described later Set the player name and transfer the processing to S608.

In S603, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the acquired target item information is from the medal acquirer. The determination of this step may be performed by the acquisition unit 105 performing information acquisition from any of the readers, but may be performed by, for example, analysis of the data structure of the acquired target article information. When the control unit 101 determines that the target item information is acquired from the medal, the process proceeds to S604, and when it is determined that the target item information is not acquired from the medal, that is, if it is acquired from the card, the process proceeds to S606.

In S604, the control unit 101 refers to the character ID 412 included in the target item information, and acquires the character information of the target item (game currency) from the character DB 106. Then, based on the acquired character information, the control unit 101 stores the used character information referred to in the game in the memory 103 for the use character. Specifically, the control unit 101 acquires the character information of the character ID 412 included in the target item information in the character information managed by the character DB 106. The stored usage role information may be configured to be associated with the role ID 431 of the usage character as shown in FIG. 4(d), and has an operation time parameter 432, which is related to the decision made during execution of the game process. Referenced; prompt information 433 for prompting the use of the character; game currency login flag 434 (eg, logical type) showing whether the game currency is used when logging in; and using the current level information 435 of the character. When the character information corresponding to the game currency is obtained, the control unit 101 forms the character ID 421, the basic parameter 422, and the presentation information 424 of the acquired character information as the role ID 431, the operation parameter 432, and the use role of the presentation information 433. Information and stored in the memory 103. Further, since the target item is the medal, the control unit 101 sets the medal registration flag 434 to true (true), and sets the level information 435 to display the information of the initial level. As described above, since the game currency does not constitute the game item mainly used in the game device 100, and the second item information does not have the level information indicating the growth state, in the present embodiment, The role registered in the game currency is explained as the case where the character is registered as the initial level. However, it should be understood that in the practice of the present invention, the method of determining the parameter 432 and the level information 435 may be different when using the operation of the use of the coin registration. For example, in the case of logging in with a character of a specific level higher than the initial level, it is possible to more appropriately guide the game player holding the coin to the operation of the game provided in the game device 100 of the present embodiment.

In S605, the control unit 101 sets the game player name for the game player who performs the game operation. The game player name can be set to, for example, a string input by the game player, and can be set as a preset game player name without input. The set game player name is stored, for example, in the memory 103, and is used in the production of the printed material of the game and the re-discharged card.

In S606, the control unit 101 refers to the character ID 403 included in the target item information, and acquires the character information of the target article (card) from the character DB 106. Then, the control unit 101 stores the used character information in the memory 103 based on the acquired character information. Specifically, the control unit 101 acquires the character information of the character ID 403 included in the target item information in the character information managed by the character DB 106. Then, the control unit 101 forms the character ID 421 and the presentation information 424 of the acquired character information as the use character information of the character ID 431 and the presentation information 433, and stores them in the memory 103. Further, since the target item is a card, the control unit 101 sets the medal registration flag 434 to false (false). Further, with respect to the operation-time parameter 432, the control unit 101 follows the growth-time change information 423 of the acquired character information, and sets the basic parameter 422 to a value obtained by changing the level information 404 based on the target item information. Further, for the level information 435, the level information 404 of the target item information is set. Thereby, in the case of using the card to log in using the character, the game player can be provided with a continuous game element that can be re-operated from the state in which the card is displayed.

In S607, the control unit 101 uses the game player name 402 of the target item information as the execution of this. The game player name of the game player of the secondary game operation is stored in the memory 103.

In S608, the presentation control unit 107, based on the use of the character information, performs a presentation of the registered use character under the control of the control unit 101. The presentation is performed by the display unit 140 including the screen of the operation-time parameter corresponding to the growth state of the corresponding character image and the character, the reading sound of the character name, the character sound of the character, and the theme song. The sound output from the sound output unit 150 is performed.

When the registration process is completed, the control unit 101 determines the opponent character (competition opponent) of the competition program in S502 of the operation providing process, and executes the game process of the competition program. When the game processing of the competition program is completed, that is, the game of the competition game of one game operation is determined, the control unit 101 shifts the process to S503.

In S503, the control unit 101 executes game processing of the reel program. In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the rotation of the roulette program after the end of the game processing of the competition program, the operation content of the reel program affects the change of the growth state of the new card in the future (utilization of the rotation) The case where the result of the drawing of the roulette determines whether or not a specific effect is generated is explained, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. The roulette program can occur in the middle of the game processing of the battle program as described above. In this case, it is not limited to the specific effects involved in the generation of the new card, and can also bring about the battle game. influences. The result of the operation content of the reel program can change, for example, the increase rate of the character level of the generated card (in the case where the parameter is a basic parameter during operation, the change to the character level that is not the initial level) or the increase rate of the parameter at the time of operation Wait.

In S504, the control unit 101 performs a function of causing the printing unit 160 to print, generate, and discharge a new card (hereinafter referred to as a card) during the game operation, and executes the first item information (output item information) to which the card is given. The production process.

<production processing>

Here, the details of the generation processing executed in this step will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

In S701, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the use character is registered using the medal. Specifically, the control unit 101 can perform the determination of this step by referring to the game currency registration flag 434 using the character information. When the control unit 101 determines that the use character is registered using the medal, the process proceeds to S702, and when it is determined that the game is not registered with the game currency, the process proceeds to S703.

In S702, the control unit 101 selects the character to be used as the card-characterized object. In the game device 100 of the present embodiment, when the use of the game currency is used to register the use character, it is determined that the game player desires the generation of the card of the character, and the use character is selected as the card object regardless of the operation content of the game. The role.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S701 that the use character is not registered using the medal, the control unit 101 determines the role (candidate character) that is a candidate for cardization based on the operation content of the game process of the competition program in S703. The candidate character includes at least the use of the character, and is also based on the increase or decrease of the operation content of the game. In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the game, if the result of the competition game is a victory, the opponent character is included in the candidate character in addition to the role. If the result is a failure, the candidate character includes only the role to be used. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be understood that the role may be plural, or the game of competition is NPC (Non-Player Character), any of the opponents, etc., in any It can be changed in the status. When the information of the candidate character is determined, the control unit 101 stores the information in, for example, the memory 103.

In S704, the control unit 101 accepts the selection of the character to be cardified among the candidate characters determined in S703. The selection of the role of the card object is to make the screen of the candidate character Display on the display unit 140 is performed based on an operation input detected by the operation input unit 109 based on the screen. The card number of sheets may be configured to be increased by, for example, an additional equivalent value, and is not limited to one sheet. Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the selection of the character is performed based on the operation input by the game player will be described, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the case where a plurality of roles are registered using a role, and there is a use role corresponding to the growth of the operation content, it can be controlled in a manner of preferentially selecting as a card object.

In S705, the control unit 101 generates output item information for the selected character of the card object. Specifically, the control unit 101 performs determination based on the acquisition of the new card ID, the parameters of the operation content of the competition program and the reel program (new level information 404), and the information of the game player name card of the game player. The character ID of the object character and the wheel game information 405 of the object item information are combined to generate output item information. The parameter determined based on the operation content may be, for example, an absolute value after the increase or decrease, or may be a relative value according to the basic parameter. In the latter case, for example, in the case where the card-based object character is not based on the use role of the card login, the increase or decrease of the non-basic parameter can be displayed, and the change of the result corresponding to the competition game can be displayed on the basic parameter. The difference between the parameters and the basic parameters. Further, the parameter determination can be dynamically determined by, for example, the result of the competition game and the number of times of carding for the same character. Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the use character registered using the medal and the use character registered under the unused item are selected as the card target are used in the case where the character is used. In the manner in which the basic parameters are carded, the new level information 404 is set to display the value of the initial state. Further, when the new rating information 404 satisfies a specific condition, for example, the control unit 101 changes the reel game information to a state different from the revolving game information 405 of the target item information, and generates output item information.

When the process of generating is completed, the print control unit 108 generates in S505 of the operation providing process. The printed material of the new card is discharged, and a printing instruction is issued to the printing unit 160. More specifically, the print control unit 108, under the control of the control unit 101, arranges a coded image based on the output item information generated in the generation process and a character image of the card-type target character, and further includes various parameters after the change, and the like. And produce printed materials. The printed material is sent to the printing unit 160 together with the print command, and the printing unit 160 prints the card and discharges the card based thereon. When the discharge is completed, or if a predetermined time required for discharge is passed after the printing instruction is issued, the control unit 101 ends the operation providing process.

Further, in the case of using the use character of the game currency registration, in the case where it is confirmed that a plurality of new cards are generated, it is possible to easily start with a character having a high degree of difficulty in the case of using only the card operation in the game device 100, for example. Corresponding card. Thus, the game currency that has been used in the game operation can be controlled in such a manner that the corresponding role is forcibly selected as a card object and a card is generated for the game operation, and the card is completed and associated with the card. The game currency cannot be used in future game operations. The establishment of the association with the completion of the card may be performed by, for example, recording the unique coin currency of the specific coin on the external server or the like, or by writing the information generated by the display to the NFC tag of the coin. And proceed. In the latter case, the second reader 130 is configured to have not only an information acquisition (guidance) function from the NFC tag of the card but also an information rewriting (writing) function of the NFC tag.

In the present embodiment, for the sake of simplification, the case where the character and the opponent character that can be registered as the use character are respectively one is described, but the use character and the opponent character may be plural. In this case, the role of the card object may be configured to be one of a plurality of numbers. Further, as described above, in the case where there is a character registered using the medal in a plurality of use characters, the character can be forcibly selected as the card target.

Further, in the present embodiment, the use of the game currency for the use of the role registration In the following, since there is an advantage that a card capable of discharging a desired character (a character corresponding to a game coin) can be discharged, the basic parameters of the character are used in the operation of the competition game, but the implementation of the present invention is not Limited to this. The game player does not hold the game item (card) provided for the game executed in the game device 100, but the game item (game currency) holding the related content means the game player's content for the game. High attention and investment in this level. Therefore, it is possible to control in such a manner that the game is more advantageous than in the case of using the registration of the use character only by using the coin for the use of the character. The control can be adjusted in such a manner that at least one of the competition game program and the reel program becomes advantageous in the game by, for example, increasing the operation parameter with respect to the basic parameter, increasing the probability of selection of the reel, and the like. Parameters and so on.

As described above, according to the game device of the present embodiment, it is possible to realize the use of the favorite character and to provide a better game experience to the game player while ensuring the number of uses of the character in which the state change can be made.

[Variation 1]

In the first embodiment described above, in the case where the use of the game currency is used to register the use character, after the game program and the reel program are finished, the print corresponds to the use character. Card and drain the card. On the other hand, in recent years, there has also been a game device that performs a game operation by moving or rotating a physical object of a card placed on an operation panel. In order to provide the above-described operation experience, it is preferred that the game player start the card. Until the execution of the game processing of the game program. Therefore, in the case of using the game currency to perform the registration of the use character and discharging the card corresponding to the character, since the role of the card is determined without regard to the operation content of the game, it is possible to configure the game player to use the card. In the manner of game operation, the card is first discharged under the condition that the game operation is not processed by the game.

Further, by configuring as described above, the game player can still start and expect by reading the second item information from the coin even in a mode in which only the card is discharged without operating the game (card selling mode). The card corresponding to the character.

[Embodiment 2]

In the first embodiment and the first modification described above, the following description is made on the case where the second item information included in the medal has the character ID and is used to register the character, and the game currency can be given. The role of the character image appears in the game. However, in the practice of the present invention, the game element corresponding to the second item information of the medal is not limited to the character.

As described above, in the case where the game title (or the discharge item) is separately provided with the card and the game currency for the different game titles to be provided for one content, the game currency is also considered to be different from the game device 100. The device can be used in game operations. In the above aspect, in the case where a game item such as a medal having a particularly reproducible recording medium (NFC tag) is used for a game operation in the different device, the second item of the item is given. Information can be changed depending on the content of the operation. Therefore, for example, the game element displayed by the second item information given to the medal is not only a character appearing in the game but also a game in which a special skill or skill given to the character, or a parameter increase or decrease is added at the game level. Various attributes at the game level, such as effects, project additions, or equipment.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second item information of the medal has the data composition as shown in Fig. 4(e). More specifically, the game currency ID 441 is associated with, in addition to the character ID 442, attribute information 443 showing various attributes as described above. In addition, it is possible that the attribute information 443 is stored in the form of attribute information when a specific attribute is attached and is meaningful, and is configured as blank information without adding a specific attribute and being meaningless.

In the present embodiment, the second item information is configured as described above, and in the game executed in the game device 100, the medal is not limited to the registration of the use character, and the use of the attribute information 443 can be used. Reflector of the character (addition of game effects, project equipment, etc.). In other words, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the game currency can be used to specify the use character in connection with the use of the character registration, and the attribute information included in the second item information can be reflected for the use character registered using the card. Use 443 instead.

In the latter case, the registration processing is such that after the first item information is acquired from the card, the second item information can be acquired from the additional coin added to the attribute information 443. That is, the attribute information 443 to which the game currency is given may be configured not to be assigned to the character registered using the game currency but to be used as the use character. In other words, the attribute information 443 can reflect the parameters when using the operation of the character, and can affect the progress of the game. Further, in the case of the former, the use character registered using the medal can be reflected by the attribute information 443 without obtaining additional information.

Further, in the case where the attribute information 443 is reflected using the character as described above, the attribute information of the reflection can be reflected (included) in the output item information in the case where a new card is discharged for the use character. In the present embodiment, when the game effect based on the attribute information 443 of the game currency is added, the game player can visually recognize that the attribute information is given, and is not limited to outputting the item information. The character image can be changed. For example, in the case where the card for registering using the character is as shown in FIG. 3(a), or in the case where the attribute information 443 is not included in the second item information of the game currency, the coin corresponds to the game currency. In the case of a card that is normally ejected, as shown in FIG. 3(a), it is possible that the character used to reflect the attribute information has been completed, and has a character image 321 which is given an effect (pattern different) corresponding to the attribute information. The card of Figure 3(d) is re-discharged.

Thereby, it is possible to expand the use of the items obtained by the game player and to provide higher Gameplay and game items (cards).

Further, in the present embodiment, the reflection of the attribute information 443 is performed at the time of registration of the use character, which affects the progress of the game program to be executed later, and the description of the card to be re-discharged is explained, but The implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. The coin-acquisition attribute information 443 for discharging a new card to which attribute information is attached may be performed when the output item information is generated. That is, the operational experience reflecting the attribute information 443 may not be provided in the game operation of the discharge of the new card, and is provided in the next game operation after the use of the new card. In this case, for example, if the opponent character is included in the character of the card object, the opponent character can be changed to reflect the state of the attribute information 443 and can be cardified.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case where a new card reflecting the state of the attribute information 443 can be realized even in any of the roles is described. However, in order to consider the plot of the game content, or to ensure the fairness between the game players. It is possible to recognize the reflection of the attribute information 443 in a case where the role corresponding to the game currency and the role of the card registration using the reflection target are the same.

[Variation 2]

In the second embodiment described above, the case where the game element is displayed by the attribute information 443 included in the second article information has been described. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, a game item also includes a release of an event, a limited offer as an appendix of a related product and a cooperative product, and in the case where the item as described above is used for a game, it is generally configured to circulate in the usual manner. Compared with the items, it shows a more favorable additional effect. Alternatively, the so-called game item having a high degree of scarcity, which is set to a small number of circulations, is also used, and is also more advantageous in addition to other scarce items.

In the present modification, the effect of the addition based on the second item information as described above is not limited to the game in the case of using the game item (tour A method of further expanding the game element in the game and further improving the interest of the game provided in the game device 100 will be described. More specifically, in the present modification, the following aspects will be described, that is, in the attribute information 443 of the game currency, in addition to the game elements such as the game effect and the equipment item, it is further included in the useless In the case of the game operation performed, the trigger information for opening the discharge condition of the new card of the specific character is generated, and an additional effect is generated when the medal is used in the game device 100.

The game currency having the state of the attribute information 443 including the trigger information may be formed by writing the second item information including the trigger information to the NFC tag in the manufacturing process of the game currency which is limitedly provided as described above. Alternatively, the second item information may be rewritten by, for example, satisfying a specific condition in another game device.

In addition, in the case where the second item information acquired from the medal is used to trigger the information when the character is registered, the generation processing is not a role of selecting the use character as the card target as in the first embodiment, but for example The character and the specific character that can be carded using the trigger information are used as the candidate character prompt, and the selection of the role of the card object can be accepted. Alternatively, it may be configured to forcibly select a specific role that can be carded by the trigger information as the role of the card object.

Therefore, in the present variation, in the game operation using the game currency having the trigger information, the character determined by the operation content or the like, which is played in the competition game, is not used as the card game. The object is a card-oriented object that can be specified by the trigger information even if it is not in the game. In addition, the role specific to the trigger information may be configured as a character that may not appear in the game in the case of using a card to log in using the character. In this case, for example, it is possible to more appropriately guide the game player using the associated game title of the coin to the game title provided by the game device 100.

Further, in the present variation, in the case where the second article information included in one coin includes the trigger information for releasing the discharge condition of the new card of the specific character, the character can be selected as the card object. The configuration has been described, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the condition that the character can be selected as the card object is not the acquisition of the trigger information given to one coin, but the trigger information can be acquired from a plurality of coins. Further, in the case where the second article information includes a specific information such as trigger information, the combination of the attribute information 443 obtained from the plurality of game coins in a single game operation is a specific combination, and may be satisfied. Conditioner. Moreover, since it is difficult to set the conditions that should be satisfied in order to start the card of the character as described above, it can be controlled in such a manner that the character registered using the card and the character logged in without using the coin, or the use does not include The game is more advantageous than the role of the game currency registration of the second item information of the trigger information.

[Other Embodiments]

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the game device of the present invention can be realized by a program in which one or more computers function as the game device. The program can be provided/published by recording on a computer readable recording medium or via an electrical communication line.
