 Specification

 Mobile phone, mobile phone game program, service providing server using the game program, and game control method

 Technical field

 [oooi] This invention uses a mobile phone, and is a completely new game program for a mobile phone that combines a unique receiving Z transmission function of the mobile phone with a net game using a communication line such as the Internet. The present invention relates to a server using the game program and a game control method.

 Background art

 [0002] In recent years, the proliferation of mobile phones has become more and more owned by most humans, especially among young people. On the other hand, in order to differentiate the ringtone from other users, the so-called ringtone personality is changed, such as changing to a favorite music according to the user's preference and displayed on the display means of the mobile phone. As for the standby screen, users tend to use their own standby screen to differentiate themselves from other people's mobile phones.

[0003] Recently, in i-mode (registered trademark), various games such as i-αppli can be played on a mobile phone according to JAVA (registered trademark) standard. However, due to the JAVA application, the standby screen described above was previously only a still image, but a video standby screen has also appeared.

 [0004] For example, as shown in Non-Patent Document 1, as a standby screen for such a moving image, a 3D polygon engine is used as a JAVA application of Sega that is supplied to J-phones. The main character of “Space Channel 5” “Urara” appears on the standby screen, and when a character drawn with 3D polygons dances, Umono is proposed! RU

[0005] This JAVA application can display an animation linked to an incoming call or mail, and can set a voice ringtone with a voice of "Urara". In addition, by answering a simple question such as “How was the current phone call?” After the call is finished, the compatibility with the call partner is displayed in a ranking “Call Call” User's answer data that can be enjoyed even in `` Ritsu '' is accumulated, and the fun function that the costume and movement of `` Urara '' changes and the mysterious characters appear as you use it, The "Introduced on the homepage."

 [0006] Furthermore, many services have been proposed that allow applications for sweepstakes using a mobile phone as described above (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4). reference).

 [0007] The invention described in Patent Document 1 discloses a prize execution method and a prize system for implementing a prize using a portable terminal such as a mobile phone. Specifically, both the application side and the application side of the prize are disclosed. The purpose was to make it possible to minimize the work required to implement the sweepstakes.

 [0008] The invention described in Patent Document 2 was made for the purpose of pursuing the interactive nature of lottery applications. As soon as a lottery application is made, the applicant can be notified of the lottery result by e-mail or the like. It is disclosed.

 [0009] The invention described in Patent Document 3 is intended to provide a communication sweepstakes system in which results can be obtained on the spot. By operating the communication terminal of the applicant who is the caller, the center apparatus connects to the center apparatus through the information communication network and applies for the sweepstakes, and the center apparatus does not win against the application from the communication terminal from the communication terminal. It is proposed to judge on the spot and immediately return the result to the communication terminal via the information communication network and notify the applicant.

 [0010] The invention described in Patent Document 4 proposes a method of transmitting a mutual greeting card with a prize lottery.

[0011] If the video moves in response to an incoming call from a mobile phone, such as "Urara" described above, it is possible to adopt the video as a standby screen, By adopting a video screen different from others for the standby screen, the mobile phone can be made more original. However, there is a problem that if the phone is prolonged, the moving image cannot be seen and the user gets bored by seeing the phone many times.

[0012] Those who apply to the sweepstakes website using the Internet communication function of mobile phones In the ceremony, it was difficult to say that the mobile phone function was fully demonstrated, which was different from that of applying for a prize through an Internet communication line using a personal computer.

 [0013] The applicant of the present invention has also filed Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-78591 (Patent Document 4) with the above-mentioned problem power. A mobile phone having a game program capable of displaying a result, wherein a game based on the game program starts in response to an incoming call or outgoing call of the mobile phone, and a connection release for the incoming call or outgoing call of the mobile phone Or a game program characterized in that a game result capable of providing a specific benefit to a user of the mobile phone is displayed on the display means after a predetermined time has elapsed. And a mobile phone power game result received through a communication line network, and the user of the mobile phone responds to the received game result. A service providing server capable of providing a service, wherein the game result is based on an incoming or outgoing call to the mobile phone, and a game is started in response to a connection release based on the incoming or outgoing call, or It proposes an invention of a service providing sano characterized by being determined after a predetermined time has elapsed.

 [0014] On the other hand, recently, a plurality of game terminals are connected through a server, game input from the plurality of game terminals is performed at each game terminal, and a game program in the server is used for each game terminal power game input. The server receives communication via the Internet communication network, and multiple game players play against each other in one game space that progresses in one game time axis. Games with interesting fun are popular (so-called net games).

Disclosure of the invention Problems to be solved by the invention

 [0016] In Patent Document 4 proposed by the applicant of the present application, the prize of the prize can be achieved by making full use of the functions of the mobile phone described above and by helping other people not to take the lead. Although it is possible to provide a stand-by sweepstakes program, a mobile phone incorporating the program, or a service providing server using the sweepstakes program, there is only a one-to-one relationship between the server and the mobile phone, so game play The inventor of the present application considered that a technique for further improving the above-mentioned is necessary. Further, in Patent Document 4, since a lottery result (game result) advantageous to the player depends on 100% of the lottery probability using random numbers in each mobile phone, for example, the game result If the prize game is to provide prizes according to the power, it is necessary to prepare more prizes than the probability value based on the target number of prizes. Since the error from the target number of prizes depends on the number of prize holders, it may be difficult to accurately predict the number of prizes to be prepared. However, in Patent Document 4, since the number of times of access to the server is limited to the case where the game result is practically advantageous for the user due to the problem of increased communication charges, as a mobile phone company, However, if the increase in call charges depended on the number of prizes, there were few other benefits, and there were other problems.

 [0017] In addition, the power of a variety of the above-mentioned net games has appeared. A wide-area communication network such as one that can play a multiplayer game in one conventional game machine, or a driving game connected to a local network. However, there is currently no novel game that can enjoy exceptional fun because of its essential requirements, and the conventional communication game connected with a simple karnet is simply a wide area network. Most of them are just applied to the Internet, and in order to further spread the online games, the appearance of online games that can become a new genre is desired.

 Means for solving the problem

[0018] In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, the game power S starts in response to an incoming call or outgoing call to the mobile phone, and the incoming call state is released (so-called “end button input”). Based on the lottery calculation result determined accordingly, a number is displayed for the display means of the mobile phone. The game progress data related to the displayed figure is transmitted to the game server, and the game progress data is transmitted to the mobile phone as an incoming call or outgoing call. When a game result that progresses according to the game program in the game server based on the repeatedly transmitted game progress data is a predetermined result based on the game progress data that is repeatedly transmitted, the game result A mobile phone having a function of receiving information is provided.

 [0019] In addition, based on a lottery calculation result determined when a game starts in response to an incoming or outgoing call to the mobile phone and the incoming call is canceled, the display means of the mobile phone A game server that can be connected to a mobile phone having a function of displaying a symbol and transmitting game progress data related to a number related to the displayed symbol to the game server via a wide area communication line. Based on information related to the number of the game progress data received from the telephone, a predetermined goal such as Sugoroku is set based on the game program stored in advance in the game server. A game such as a game is advanced by controlling the number of pieces by the number, and information related to the number of the game progress data received from the mobile phone is repeatedly received. When the piece that is advanced by the button reaches the goal, image data indicating that the mobile phone user is provided with a predetermined benefit, or goal achievement data for generating the image data is displayed. A game server having a function of transmitting to a mobile phone is provided.

 [0020] According to the present invention, since it is not determined whether or not the player can enjoy the profit by one lottery, even if a prize is prepared as the profit, it is transmitted to the server or the server Is provided to the user of the mobile phone in accordance with the game progress data related to the number received by the user, so that the number of prizes hits more than the expected number of prizes, or the expected number of prizes It is possible to avoid the habit of leaving a small amount of prizes.

 [0021] More specifically, the following invention is provided.

[0022] (1) The game progress data includes storage means for storing a game program for extracting and displaying numbers for progressing a game by internal lottery or game progress data related to the numbers in response to an incoming call. Is sent to the game server via the transmission / reception means The mobile phone includes a symbol image display data storage means for storing a number associated with the game progress data or a plurality of types of symbol image display data associated with the number, and the symbol. The lottery result image extracting means for extracting the number corresponding to the internal lottery result or the symbol image display data related to the number from the image display data storage means, and the symbol image display data extracted by the lottery result image extracting means. Display means for displaying data, and the game progress data to be used for another game in the game server each time the game progress data is drawn by the internal lottery to the game server. It is possible to transmit.

[0023] According to the above configuration, the data for progressing the game that is advanced for the acquisition of the prize, which does not immediately lead to the acquisition of the prize, as the result of the lottery triggered by the incoming call to the mobile phone is the internal lottery in this mobile telephone. The game progress data for the progress of the game is transmitted to the game server, and a game such as a sugoroku game is based on the game program based on the received game progress data in the game server. Therefore, when the game result reaches a predetermined result, communication for notifying the mobile phone terminal from the server that the prize has been acquired can be performed. It becomes easy to manage the number of prizes prepared in advance on the server side. Of course, “The game progress data determined by lottery on the mobile phone is based on the condition that a call from anyone is received, so it eliminates the hassle of accessing the prize server as usual. In addition to being able to draw a lottery only for the sake of my own convenience, it can be said that Tatsushina has presented a sweepstakes application form.

Including the numerical value for advancing or retreating the piece, and on the condition that the user has entered an input that allows the piece to be moved on the board game using the number of pieces obtained by the lottery. Obtained by lottery means It is characterized by having a control means for displaying the number of frames or display information related to the number of frames.

 [0025] According to the above invention, in the invention of (1), before the game progress data for progressing the game is transmitted to the server, the game progress data is displayed on the display means of the mobile phone as the game progress data. In contrast to displaying numbers or symbol image display data related to the numbers, in the present invention, the number of pieces obtained by the lottery includes a numerical value for advancing or retreating the pieces on the board game. Relevant to the number of frames obtained by lottery on the display means, provided that the user inputs an input permitting the movement of the pieces on the board game using the number of frames obtained by lottery. The display information to be displayed is displayed. Therefore, the user determines whether the number of pieces obtained by the lottery is the number of pieces to be moved backward in the board game, or the number of pieces to be advanced. Connected to the piece The user will not know until he / she decides to proceed and inputs to allow, so for example, it is more interesting to apply to a board game where you can get a prize by going to the goal. can do. From another point of view, if the number of pieces obtained in advance through the lottery is known before connecting to the server, when it is applied to the Sugoroku game as a board game, there are always many dice. There is a possibility that it will not be possible to enjoy the fun of returning the goal power rather than just going to the goal quickly, and there is a possibility that users who receive a lot of calls will be advantageous just by moving forward monotonously. With this configuration, if the number of incoming calls is large, it is not always possible to make an early goal, so the fun is further improved.

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

 Hereinafter, an embodiment as an example in which the present invention is applied to a mobile phone and a server connectable with the mobile phone will be described with reference to the drawings.

 FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram to which the present invention is applied. In FIG. 1, 1 is a service providing server, and the service providing server 1 is connected via an Internet network 10 and a base station 11. The mobile phone 20 is configured so as to be able to send and receive data.

[0041] The mobile phone 20 can exchange calls and mails with other mobile phones 20 via the base station 11 and can be connected as a wide area communication network via the base station 11. Can connect to a server connected to the Internet network via the Internet network It is configured to function. More specifically, the service providing server 1 includes a board game program stored in advance in an internal storage device, and a mobile phone is provided for a board game that proceeds based on the board game program. As many as the dice S of the game progress data received from 20 are S. The game that aims at a predetermined goal is executed by advancing the pieces related to the mobile phone 20. In this board game, a plurality of mobile phone devices 20 are played on the same time axis, and a plurality of users of the mobile phone 20 compete with each other to quickly reach the goal. The number of prizes prepared by the sponsor will be provided. In other words, the owner of the mobile phone 20 downloads the dice game program in which the dice S's eyes A can be obtained in advance by lottery and the advertisement information of the sponsor from the server 1, receives the call, and enters the end call button. Each time a force is applied, the die A of the dice S determined by lottery is sent to the server 1 each time, and the pieces on the board game executed in the server 1 are sequentially advanced toward the goal. Then, when the goal is reached, the power registered in the server 1 in advance, or the address, name, etc. for sending the prize sent from the server 1 to the mobile phone 20 when triggered by the goal Based on the information, it will be sent to the user of the mobile phone 20 whose prize is the goal. Of course, in this embodiment, the number of pieces to be advanced in the board game in the server 1 is determined by the dice game. However, for example, as a slot game, the sum of the numbers resulting from the fluctuation stop advances the pieces. The number of frames may be used, or as a card game, a game where a plurality of playing cards are displayed and a card game can be advanced by the number of frames by subtracting one playing card force card. The dice game can be changed as appropriate.

FIG. 2 shows a hardware configuration diagram of the mobile phone 20, and the mobile phone 20 includes a control means 21. The control means 21 includes a standby screen and a game result of a dice game described later. Display means 22 capable of displaying (game progress data), transmission / reception means 23 such as an antenna, and input means 24 for the user of the mobile phone 20 to input a telephone number or e-mail character , A system program, etc., pre-stored ROM 25, a dice game program for deciding the dice S of board game A by lottery, other mobile phones that have received or sent calls, permanent phones, etc. phone A RAM 26 is connected as a storage means for storing numbers and the like, and storing or deleting the stored dice game program and telephone numbers by the user's input means 24 operation.

 [0043] As described above, the "RAM game program for a certain sponsor" is stored in the RAM 26. This “dice game program inspired by a certain sponsor” is configured so that it can be downloaded from the server 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the dice game program is stored in advance in the ROM 25 or RAM 26 as a storage means in the mobile phone 20. It may be configured to install. “To be attributed to a sponsor” means that the eyes A of the dice S displayed on the display means 22 as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. This logo can be arbitrarily set, such as the name of a company, the name of a new product.

 [0044] Further, the advertising information of the sponsor is, for example, commercial video data of a certain campaign. After the dice S rotates and starts to change, the start of the change is shown to the user. Using the moving image data, the control means 21 can display a directional moving image on the display means 22. However, advertising information that displays this commercial video is not an essential component of the present invention. However, by using this advertising information or the logo for advertising mentioned above in the eyes of a dice, Effective advertising effect can be expected by using the display means 22 of the telephone 20

[0045] In particular, if the purpose of preventing modification of the program is to be pursued, it may be stored in a non-rewritable mask ROM during the manufacturing process. In this case, in order to be able to replace the dice S's eye A with the design or company name of the product that the sponsor wants to advertise, separate the image data of the variable design from other game programs, It is also preferable that only data be downloaded from the server 1 appropriately by operating the input means 24 of the mobile phone 20 to reduce the data to be downloaded.

As the display means 22, a liquid crystal display device generally used for the cellular phone 20 is adopted as the power saving power. In addition, as the input means 24, there are various functions such as key button switch 24A for creating a mail with alpha numbers stamped on the surface of the button, and for the other party who wants to talk to enter the phone number. Multi-directional switch 24B for selection In addition, a dedicated game result transmission switch 24C is provided for transmitting the game result (number of pieces) of the dice game. The game result transmission switch 24C is not essential, and the number of frames as a game result is transmitted to the server 1 using the key switch 24A and the multidirectional switch 24B, and transmitted on the board game progressing in the server 1. The server 1 is caused to execute a process of advancing as many times as the number of frames received corresponding to the mobile phone 20.

 [0047] Note that in the mobile phone 20 equipped with JAVA, a normal phone call is made using an operating system and native software (browser, networking component, Phone Dialer, etc.). On the other hand, individual JAVA applications (game programs, etc.) stored in ROM 25 or RAM 26 are managed by JAVA Application Manager (JA M).

FIG. 3 is a hardware block diagram of the server 1. The server 1 includes a control unit 2, a communication interface 3 for connecting to the Internet network 10 and transmitting / receiving electronic data, a board game program, and a game progress received from the mobile phone 20. Based on the number of frames as data, a process for advancing the frame corresponding to the received mobile phone 20 is executed, and the control means 2 executes a process for determining whether or not the goal has been reached. Storage unit 4 that stores a notification program for notifying that the goal has been reached, and the mobile phone numbers of users of multiple mobile phones, such as addresses, age, gender, etc. Each user's database 5 is used to provide specific benefits to users of the mobile phone 20 such as the user database 5 in which information is stored and prizes or prizes provided by the sponsor. Dice game program for determining the number of frames for the telephone 20 and the sponsor database 6 as a plurality of types stored storage means is connected. The dice game program is different for each sponsor, and the user of the mobile phone 20 sees the prizes provided by each sponsor and inputs which dice game program to download. Determine using 24. In addition, a board game program is prepared for each sponsor mentioned above, an event is generated by the position of the piece stopped during the progress of the board game, and a game task accompanying the occurrence of the event is handled by operating the input means 24. When the owner of the mobile phone 20 is cleared, a discount privilege for the target prize can be obtained, or another prize related to the target prize can be received. In this case, it is preferable to store the board game program from the storage unit 4 into the sponsor database 6 which is another storage means. In addition, a program that allows a computer to execute processing such as retreating a piece of a user of another mobile phone 20 competing on the same board game upon the occurrence of an event can be provided.

[0049] On the condition that the mobile phone 20 is connected to the server 1 in the storage unit 4 in the server 1, the positional relationship of the pieces with the other mobile phones 20 in the board game The image data for visually displaying the image on the display means 22 is stored. When this image data is game progress data sent to the server 1 by the operation of the input means 24 of the mobile phone 20 to the server 1, the board game as a whole is advanced by the number of frames advanced in response to this transmission. Displayable image data is transmitted from the server 1 to the mobile phone 20.

 [0050] The sponsor database 6 is composed of a collection of a plurality of databases, and in each database, a piece is advanced by a board game that progresses under the control of the control means 2 in the server 1 with a probability table for each sponsor. A game program capable of executing a dice game for determining the number is stored. In addition to the game program for each sponsor that causes the dice game to be executed on the mobile phone 20, the number of prizes or prize contents or the number of prizes or prizes that can be won by operating the input means 20 of the mobile phone 20, or on the board game Various image data and character data for making it possible to view the positional relationship with other users of the mobile phone 20 can be searched under the control of the control means 2, and the various types of data searched for the mobile phone 20 It is stored so that it can be extracted for transmission of image data and text data.

[0051] Therefore, the mobile phone that the user owns a prize or prize corresponding to each game program from among a plurality of game programs (dice game program associated with the board game program) stored in the sponsor database 6. Operate the input means 24 of the telephone 20 to browse and decide which prize or prize to aim at downloading the game program, and operate the input means 24 to download the determined game program. Do. This dice game program includes a probability table that determines whether the number of pieces to be advanced is large or not, and if the number of premiums is small and the number of prizes is small, the promotional information is repeatedly viewed by the user. In order to ensure that the prize remains until the end of the campaign period! On the other hand, as a probability table where dice rolls are likely to be large, the user should be controlled to obtain many prizes!

 [0052] After the game program for the dice game has been downloaded, the dice game is started each time an incoming call is made to the mobile phone 20, as will be described in detail in FIGS. The dice game ends when the connection is cut in response to the operation of the input means 24 for the end of the game, and the number of pieces for the game progress as a result of the dice game is displayed on the mobile phone 20. It is displayed in real time on means 22 (see the number of frames display state diagram 7). In this embodiment, the program structure is such that a pre-downloaded dice game is started when an incoming call to the mobile phone 20 is triggered. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a program such that a slot game is started when triggered by a call. Of course, it can also be set as this structure. In such a case, if the user of the mobile phone 20 uses the mobile phone 20, it is determined that the goal-in of the board game in which the game progress data is sent to the server 1 by lottery in a dice game will be realized at an early stage. If the dice game starts when an incoming call is received as in this embodiment, the incoming call from another mobile phone 20 can be scored in with a board game to win a prize or a prize. Expecting this, it is expected that there will be an effect of waiting for a phone call, no matter how powerful it is.

 [0053] (Game flow)

 Referring to FIG. 4, as described above, when the downloading of the dice game is completed in RAM 26 of mobile phone 20, mobile phone 20 waits for an incoming call with another telephone power (step Sl).

[0054] When the control means 21 determines that there is an incoming call from another telephone set by the system program stored in the ROM 25 in advance (step S2: YES), the control means 21 determines that the dice game in the RAM 26 has been received. The game program is activated to prepare for the start of the game, and at the same time, it is possible to send and receive calls with the destination telephone (step S3). [0055] When the preparation for starting the game is completed, the control means 21 starts the dice game (step S4). When the game power is started, the display means 22 of the mobile phone 20 is controlled by the control means 21 based on the image data included in the game program stored in the RAM 26 as a rewritable memory as shown in FIG. Dice S does not rotate. The rotational fluctuation state of the dice S is maintained until the incoming call is released, that is, until the connection with the other telephone incoming to the mobile phone 20 is released. When this connection is released, the rotation of the dice S stops as shown in FIG. 7, and the number of pieces as game progress data is confirmed and displayed. The dice itself or the dice eye symbol image data at this time is included in the game program and stored in the RAM 26 in advance.

 [0056] When the input means 24 of the mobile phone 20 is used to input an operation for closing the call, the control means 21 detects this (step S5: YES).

 [0057] When the input means 24 of the mobile phone 20 is not used to input an operation for the end of the call (step S5: NO), a connection release signal is received from the destination telephone. Or, when the connection state with the destination telephone is disconnected (transition to the non-incoming state), this is detected by the control means 21 (step S6: YES).

 [0058] Then, when the control means 21 detects that a non-incoming state has been reached at the stage of (Step S5: YES) or (Step S6: YES), «I continues to display the fluctuation state on the display means 22. The lottery process for determining the number of lottery results for the outcome A of the dice game is reduced under the control of the control means 21 while maintaining the dice game in progress. It is executed using the probability table in the loaded game program (step S7).

 [0059] According to the lottery of S7, the number of pieces as a game result is displayed on the display means 22 as the outcome A (step S8).

[0060] After the game result is displayed, when the control means 21 detects the operation input of the game result transmission switch 24C as the user input means 24 (step S9: YES), it is prepared in advance in the game program. A preparation process for transmitting game progress data as a game result to the server 1 located at the address with respect to the determined address is performed (step S10). This preparation Is a process of combining the obtained game progress data and the telephone number of the mobile phone as one data. When the processing of step S10 is completed, the mobile phone number data and the game result, which are data for determining which mobile phone power is transmitted to the address server 1 automatically, are stored in the server. When the control means 21 of the server 1 detects that the transmission has been completed, the connection with the server 1 is cut off and the process ends.

Next, a processing flow in the server 1 after the game result is transmitted to the server 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

 First, as described above, the server 1 waits for connection for downloading the dice game program from the mobile phone 20 and reception of the game result as the number of pieces (game progress data) from the mobile phone 20. The standby state is maintained (step S30). In this embodiment, the number of pieces = power as game progress data The game progress data is a broader concept than the number of pieces, and as data for advancing the game, for example, connected to the server 1 and roulette This includes data related to the number of times that the game is turned, or a shooting game that is not connected to the board game while being connected to the server 1, and the game progress data is the number of balls that can be fired in the shooting game. In other words, to explain in association with this embodiment, the first game as a dice game is a game for obtaining game progress data for advancing the second game as a board game. The control means 2 may make a goal while checking the stock of prizes by causing the first game to be played without being connected to the server and the second game to be played while being connected to the server 1. It will be possible to easily control the provision of services within the range of the number of prizes and prizes given by the sponsor while judging the strength (whether it is possible to apply the prize).

 [0063] Then, when the game result transmitted in step S11 is transmitted to the server 1, the control means 2 detects that the transmitted game result has been received (step S31).

When a game result as game progress data is received in step S31, an authentication process is executed based on the telephone number combined with the game progress data as the game result (step S32). This authentication process is a process for specifying a user as a user corresponding to the mobile phone number registered in the user database in advance. And this By identifying the user, the control means 2 accesses the user database 5 to see whether the user has already played the board game in the past. If there is a past board game execution history, the control means 2 extracts the piece position data that the user has advanced to the previous time.

Then, based on the received game result and the previous position data, a calculation process is executed under the control of the control means 2 to determine whether or not a goal has been reached when the board game is played (step S33).

 [0066] Next, as a result of the arithmetic processing, it is determined whether or not the control means 2 has reached the goal when the user's piece is moved by the number of pieces received on the board game (step S34).

 [0067] Then, (step S34: YES) If it is determined that the goal has been reached, the control means 2 determines which sponsor's game is being executed from the sponsor identification code accompanying the received game progress data. Then, by accessing the sponsor database 6 and seeing whether the number of stock prizes or the number of prizes remains, the control means 2 determines whether or not it is possible to make a goal (step S35).

 [0068] If it is determined that the goal cannot be achieved by the control means 2 as a result of this determination (step S35: NO), the mobile phone 20 that has received the fact that the number has already been completed is sent to the mobile phone 20. The image data or audio data is notified (step S39).

 [0069] When the control means 2 determines that the goal can be achieved by the received game result (step S35: YES), a process of issuing an authentication number indicating that the player has won by the goal; As the notification process, the control means 2 executes a process of extracting image data that praises the winning from the sponsor database 6 (step S36). This certification number is issued for the purpose of inquiring if prizes or prizes are not sent to the user later.

[0070] Following step S34, there is an authentication number prepared in step S34 and image data for notifying the winning (eg, image data for notifying the user again what has been won). When the preparation is completed, the prepared authentication number and image data for notifying the winning are transmitted as winning confirmation data to the address of the user's cellular phone 20 (step S 37). The data at this address is extracted from the user database 5 and the mobile phone number Or an e-mail address corresponds to this.

 [0071] When the transmission of the winning confirmation data is completed in step S37, next, the winning prize or prize is sent out with reference to the user database 5 (step S38), and the process is terminated.

 [0072] In the above-described embodiment, the case where the game is always executed has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the user operates the key button switch 24A. Thus, the execution of the game may be canceled halfway. In this case, when the control means 21 of the mobile phone 20 receives a game release command from the key button switch 24A, the control means 21 prohibits execution of the game program stored in the RAM 26 based on the command. As a result, the mobile phone 20 does not start a game even when an incoming call is received, and this can reduce battery consumption. The user can select whether or not the game can be executed depending on the remaining battery level.

 [0073] FIG. 7 shows a state in which the outcome A of the psycho mouth S as the game progress data is displayed on the display means 22 of the mobile phone 20, and is the display screen of the game result display in step S8. is there. In this way, the game result is displayed, and the user decides whether or not to transmit “the dice roll 5” to the game server 1 (step S9). As shown in Fig. 7, the effective number of turns located in front of Dice S is set as the number of effective pieces, and as shown in Fig. 8 It is displayed as a game lottery result based on the probability table. As is clear from Figs. 7 and 8, the company's logo is used as advertising information in the eyes of Dice S, and the user must confirm the outcome A of Dice S. Make sure that you can get an advertising effect. Of course, as shown in this embodiment, the production of the dice S is not limited to the method in which the company uses the logo of the campaign prize to create an advertising effect on the outcome A. Can be displayed on the display means 22.

 [Modification]

FIG. 9 shows a modification of the processing in the mobile phone 20 of FIGS. 4 and 5. Steps S1 to S8 having the same flow are the same as FIGS. The repeated explanation is omitted. In this modification, the prizes provided by each sponsor on the mobile phone 20 The flow of the dice game program according to the prize is the same until the lottery result is finalized after the end of the call with the incoming call. In the case of the embodiment described above, The difference is that the number of pieces to be executed in the server 1 as the second game is controlled without being displayed on the display means 2 2. In other words, the number of pieces obtained by the lottery controlled by the control means 21 is set so that the probability table is set so as to include the numerical value for advancing or retreating the pieces on the board game, and the number of pieces obtained by the lottery is used. Display on the display means 22 related to the number of pieces obtained by lottery when the mobile phone 20 is connected to the server 1 on the condition that the user inputs an input permitting movement of the pieces on the game. Display information.

 In step S 8, a lottery result transmission confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the display means 22. While the user of the mobile phone 20 visually recognizes this lottery result transmission confirmation screen, the button with the mark B or C is pressed in the key button switch 24 of the input means 24 of the mobile phone 20, and the lottery result The user is prompted to decide whether or not to transmit the game progress data to the server 1.

 [0076] Next, when the input means 24 inputs that the lottery result is not transmitted (step S9-1: YES), the lottery result transmission confirmation screen is deleted, and the process is terminated.

 [0077] When the input means 24 inputs the lottery result, the process proceeds to step S10, and the control means 21 executes the lottery result transmission process.

 [0078] Based on the lottery result transmitted from the server 1, if the control means 21 determines that the piece number data corresponding to the lottery result has been received (step S12: YES), the received piece number data is Store in the RAM 25 (step S13).

 Next, the image data force included in the dice game program is extracted from the frame number related display data corresponding to the frame number data stored in the RAM 25 (step S 14).

 [0080] Following step S14, the control means 21 displays the frame number related display information on the display means 22 using the extracted image data as the frame number related display information (step S15).

[0081] When the control means 21 determines that the winning confirmation data is transmitted from the server 1 to the mobile phone 20 and received (step S16: YES), the winning effect display process is performed as a dice game. The image data force included in the data is also extracted (step SI 7) and displayed on the display means 22 (step S 18).

 FIG. 11 shows a processing flow in the server 1 corresponding to the processing flow in the mobile phone 20 of FIGS. 9 and 10. In other words, FIG. 11 shows a modification of the processing in the server 1 of FIG. 6, and is different in that step S32-1 of the frame number notification processing is inserted between step S32 and step S33. Since the other flow is the same as the flow in FIG. 6, the same reference numerals are given and repeated description is omitted.

 That is, in this modified example, the address of the transmission destination is controlled after the authentication process, triggered by the fact that the server 1 has received the lottery result corresponding to step S 12 in FIG. 9 from the mobile phone 20. This is the flow in which the means 2 is confirmed and the force is transmitted (step S321).

 In this embodiment, it has been described in more detail that one of the mobile phones 20 is connected to the server 1 and the board game proceeds. However, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of mobile phones are used. In order to increase the fun of the game, it is preferable to take a game form in which 20 players are connected and compete for goals on the same board game play field!
