Description

GAME CONTROL DEVICE, GAME CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, GAME SYSTEM

The present invention relates to a technique for controlling the progress of a game by each user according to each operation of a plurality of users.

In recent years, a so-called social game (Social) executed by a game application created based on an operating environment such as an API (Application Programming Interface) operating on a web browser in a social networking service (SNS) by a specific service provider. Game) is popular. It can be said that the social game is a kind of online game that is played while communicating among an unspecified number of users. If a user can connect to the Internet and has a communication terminal equipped with a web browser, the user can enjoy a social game regardless of time and place.

One of the features of the above-described social game is that it has a richer communication function for interaction between users than the conventional online game. In social games, for example, in addition to cooperative play with other users (friends), information exchange by communicating with friends such as greetings and contacts with friends, gifts of items on the game with friends or items An exchange has been made. As an example of such a social game, a digital card game (Dragon Collection (registered trademark)) described in Non-Patent Document 1 below is known.

In a conventional social game, an unscheduled voting event has been established for the purpose of capturing user preferences. In this voting event, users who participated in the event voted their favorite cards out of cards of a plurality of characters and announced the voting results. However, since it was an irregular event, the number of users who participated in this event was limited, and it was not possible to widely capture the user's preferences.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game control device, a game control method, a program, a recording medium, and a game system that can broadly capture the user's preferences for objects.

The first aspect of the present invention is:
Execution means for executing the game;
Display means for displaying a plurality of objects as options on the game image during the game;
Obtaining means for obtaining information related to an operation of selecting any one of the plurality of objects;
Based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit, a totaling unit that totals information about the selection result of the object;
It is a game control apparatus provided with.

The object may be anything as long as it is a selection target on the game screen, and includes, for example, items and characters. A character is, for example, a virtual person or creature on a game, or a monster, and includes those displayed on a card.

For example, if you want to aggregate information about the selection results (for example, voting results) of one of the objects from a plurality of objects, suppose that a menu or event for object selection is provided separately from the execution of the game. When set, the user may be annoyed and hesitate to select the menu or participate in the event. On the other hand, in the game control apparatus, while the game is being executed, a plurality of objects that are object choices are displayed on the game image, and the object selection result is acquired accordingly. There is no hassle of participating in a different menu or event from execution. For this reason, it is possible to easily obtain and tabulate information on the user object selection results. As a result, the user's preference for the object can be widely grasped.

In the game control device, the display means may display a plurality of options with different combinations of objects for the same user. When the option is displayed only once for the same user, that is, when the selection result of only one time is acquired, the selection result of the object by the user may vary. By acquiring, the variation is reduced, and the possibility that the user's preference is correctly reflected in the selection result can be increased.

The game control device may further include an adjusting unit that adjusts the object to be displayed as an option based on a history of the selection result of the object. By providing such adjustment means, the contents of the object presented to the user can be dynamically changed with a desired purpose in accordance with the total result.

In the game control device, each of the plurality of objects is associated with one of a plurality of attributes, and the adjustment unit has the same attribute as the attribute of the object most frequently selected by the user. You may select from objects. The attribute can be set as appropriate according to the object to be selected, and may be any attribute that represents the nature of the object.
The attribute of the object most frequently selected by the user can also be considered as the user's favorite attribute. Therefore, by setting the object as a user's favorite attribute, it is possible to further delve into preferences other than the user's attribute, and to deeply understand the user's taste.

In the game control device, the counting means may order the objects in the order of the selected number of times, and the adjusting means may select the objects from among the objects ordered higher than a predetermined order by the counting means. Good.
As a result of the ordering (for example, ranking) by the counting means, if the order of the objects selected by the user is low, the user may be disappointed with the counting result and may lose interest in the ranking result. In view of this, it is possible to attract the user's interest in the ranking result by using a relatively higher-level object as an object.

In the game control device, the counting unit may select the object according to a time difference between a time when the object is displayed on the game image and a time when the information related to the operation according to the game image is acquired. Information about may be adjusted.
It can be considered that the longer the time difference is, the harder the object is, and the user is troubled by the selection of the object. In that case, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the totaling result by reflecting in the object selection result that the user is troubled by the object selection. As an example of adjusting information about the selection result of the object, for example, when the object A and the object B are displayed as options and the object A is finally selected, if the time difference is short, the object A is set to 1. When the object B is counted as 0 and the time difference is long, for example, the object A may be counted as 0.7 and the object B as 0.3.

In the game control device, each of the objects is associated with one of a plurality of attributes, and a user selects an object having the same attribute among the plurality of attributes a predetermined number of times based on a selection result of the object. If it is determined, a privilege granting unit that grants a privilege on the game to the user may be provided.
In this configuration, a privilege is given to the user when a certain condition (an object having the same attribute is selected a predetermined number of times) is satisfied for the selection result of the user. This motivates the user to actively select an object. As a result, a large amount of information about the selection results (for example, voting results) by the user can be aggregated.

In the game control device, the privilege may be an increase in the frequency with which the user displays the object on a game image. For example, if a point on the game is given to the user every time an object is selected, the frequency of selection increases as the frequency of displaying the object increases, and thus a privilege is given to the user. Become.

In the game control device, the display means may display two objects as options on the game image. Accordingly, the selection result of the user is less likely to vary than when selecting an object from a large number of objects, and the user's preference is easily captured. In addition, by selecting an object from the two objects, the user can select with a relatively simple operation, and even if there are occasions when the user frequently makes a selection during the game, the burden on the user is small and a large amount of data can be collected. .

In the game control device, the execution means may advance the game without being limited to information related to the operation acquired by the acquisition means. In other words, since the selection of the object does not affect the progress of the game, the user can expect to perform a voting action that correctly reflects the user's taste while proceeding with the game.

A second aspect of the present invention is a game control method,
Running the game, and
Displaying a plurality of objects as options on the game image during execution of the game;
Obtaining information related to an operation of selecting any object from the plurality of objects;
Based on the information obtained by the obtaining step, totaling information about the selection result of the object;
including.

A third aspect of the present invention provides a computer for controlling the execution of a game.
The ability to run games,
A function of acquiring a plurality of objects as options from a storage device and displaying them on a game image during the execution of the game;
Based on the information acquired by the function for acquiring an operation for selecting any object from the plurality of objects, and the information acquired by the function to be acquired, information on the object selection result is aggregated in the storage device. The ability to record,
It is a program for realizing.

The computer may be, for example, a network server or a large computer. Further, this program may be stored in a computer-readable information storage medium such as a DVD-ROM or a CD-ROM. That is, a fourth aspect of the present invention is a computer-readable recording medium in which the program is recorded.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is a game system including a communication terminal and a server configured to be accessible from the communication terminal and controlling execution of the game by the communication terminal,
Execution means for executing the game,
Display means for displaying a plurality of objects as object choices on the game image during execution of the game,

In the following description, menus, marks and the like displayed on the web page displayed on the communication terminal 10 are arranged at desired positions on the web page, and are menus visually recognized on the communication terminal 10. The position on the display screen of the mark and the like can be changed by scrolling the web page by the user's direction instruction button or touch panel operation.

The top page of FIG. 9 includes a user data display area, a warrior image display area, and a menu display area.
The user data display area is an area where skill level, physical strength points, the number of warriors, and data of each item (see FIG. 6) included in the user data of the target user ID are displayed. In FIG. 9, “40/60” is described as an example of the number of warriors, but this is 40 warrior cards held by the user, and the maximum number of warrior cards that can be held is 60. Indicates that The warrior image display area is an area in which an image of a warrior card specified in advance by the user among a plurality of warrior cards included in the user data of the target user ID is displayed. The menu display area includes menus m1 and m2 respectively labeled “quest” and “battle” as menus corresponding to the processing (quest processing, battle processing) provided in the game of the present embodiment.
When the menu m1 or m2 is selected on the top page, the game is started.

When the menu m1 is selected and operated on the top page of FIG. 9, the quest process is executed. The web page is updated as indicated by P1 in FIG. In the web page P1 of FIG. 10, in the display area 100, a Japan map divided into a plurality of regions (areas) is displayed in a state where an area to be searched is highlighted.
In the quest process, the user selects the menu m5 described as “search” provided for each area to be searched (in the example of FIG. 10, area 9 (subareas 9-1, 9-2,...)). Select the operation. With this operation as a trigger, a search for an area to be searched is performed, and when a warrior card is excavated, the warrior card of the warrior is displayed in the display area 102. At this time, every time the menu m5 is selected and searched, the value of “progress” (%) displayed in the display area 101 increases by a random increase amount. The display area 101 displays the value of the action point required for one search (in the example of FIG. 10, “−5” is displayed, meaning that only five action points are consumed). Is done. The user's action points are reduced by the value of the displayed action point for each search.

In the quest process, when the selection operation for the menu m5 is repeatedly performed by the user, and the progress of all areas of the sub-areas 9-1, 9-2,. The search object moves to the next area (in this case, area 10). Even if the progress reaches 100%, the maximum number of warrior cards that can be displayed in the display area 102 (four in subarea 9-1 in FIG. 10) can be found. Not necessarily.

In the quest process, the action points decrease each time the selection operation is performed on the menu m5. Therefore, when the top page is displayed immediately after the quest process is executed, the action points displayed on the top page are The quest process will be displayed in a reduced amount. The action points are recovered (increased) by one point each time a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) elapses, for example.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the quest process, a web page that allows an overview of the search results of each area that the user has already played (that is, searched) is displayed by the selection operation of the menu m6 by the user. In the display area 110, the “complete rate” for each area is displayed. The “complete rate” (achievement level) is a value indicating the ratio of the number of types of warrior cards actually excavated to the maximum number of types of warrior cards that can be excavated in each area. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, if area 9 is composed of three subareas, areas 9-1, 9-2, and 9-3, a maximum of four warrior cards can be excavated in each subarea. Then, 12 warrior cards can be excavated in the entire area 9. At this time, when the number of excavated warrior cards is 6 in the entire area 9, the complete rate is 50%.
In the example shown in FIG. 11, the user indicates that the area 2 is the most advanced area in the game quest process. In FIG. 11, the user can search for the selected area again by selecting and operating an area where the complete rate is not 100% among the other areas already played (areas 1 to 8). It is configured as follows.

While the user is executing the quest process, the web page is updated as shown in P3 of FIG. 12 so that the user can vote the female character in an alternative format. This update of the web page may be performed with a constant or random probability each time the menu m5 is selected and operated, for example. The web page P3 includes images, names (for example, S1, S18, etc.), ages (18 years, 25 years, etc.), three sizes (ie, B ( (Bust), W (waist), H (hip) cm display). Each female character is associated with menus m10 and m11 each labeled “vote”. Hereinafter, as shown in the web page P3, a web page on which two female characters to be voted by the user are displayed is referred to as a “voting page”.

For example, when the menu m10 is selected and operated on the web page P3, the web page is updated as shown in P4. In this example, the female character S1 is selected from the two female characters, and a confirmation message indicating that the vote for the female character S1 has been received is displayed. On the web page P4, a menu m12 labeled "Return to quest" is displayed. In response to the selection operation of the menu m12, the web page is updated again as indicated by P1 in FIG. Thereby, the user can continue the quest process after voting.

For example, when a certain time such as two weeks elapses after the voting is started, the vote results of the female characters by the user are aggregated to create a popular vote ranking, and the user can view the popular vote ranking. For example, when the popular voting ranking becomes available for browsing, for example, as shown on the web page P5, a menu m13 labeled “Popular voting ranking announcement!” Is displayed on the web page. This menu m13 may be provided on the top page. When the menu m13 is selected, the web page is updated as shown in P6. On the web page P6, female characters of higher rank than a predetermined rank (for example, 20th rank) are displayed together with images, age, and three sizes.

(6) Overview of Each Process in Game Control Device Next, each process in the game control device will be described in order to realize the above-described game of the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the game server 20 and the database server 30 constitute a game control device. Below, the function implement | achieved with the game control apparatus of this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG. 14 for the case where the game of this embodiment mentioned above is applied as an example. FIG. 14 is a functional block diagram for explaining functions that play a main role in the game control apparatus of the present embodiment.

For example, the registration unit 51 has a function of recognizing a user registration request based on an appropriate operation input to the communication terminal 10 on a web page provided to the communication terminal 10 and performing a registration process. This registration process is executed when the user performs user registration for the game of the present embodiment.
The function of the registration means 51 is implement | achieved as follows, for example. The CPU 21 of the game server 20 receives a registration request message from the communication terminal 10 via the communication interface unit 25. The registration request message is automatically generated by a predetermined operation on the communication terminal 10 on the web page provided from the game server 20 (for example, a predetermined menu selection operation or a text input such as a user ID or password specified by the user). Web pages may be configured to be generated automatically. The registration request message may include information for identifying the communication terminal 10 of the transmission source (for example, individual identification information of a terminal such as a UID (Unique Identifier), a mail address, or the like) If another game by the same service provider is used, the user ID may be included.
When the CPU 21 receives the registration request message and the registration request message does not include the user ID, the CPU 21 issues a new user ID and performs registration processing of the user ID, and then the registration processing is completed. Is sent to the communication terminal 10. When the CPU 21 receives the registration request message and the registration request message includes a user ID, the CPU 21 performs registration processing of the user ID, and then transmits a registration completion message indicating that the registration processing is completed to the communication terminal. 10 to send.
When the registration is completed, the CPU 21 generates user data corresponding to the user ID and stores it in the user database 31. When the registration is completed, the user can execute the game of the present embodiment.

The game execution means 52 has a function of executing an authentication process when the user logs in when the user executes the game of the present embodiment.
The function of this game execution means 52 is implement | achieved as follows. When receiving the HTTP request from the communication terminal 10 of each user, the CPU 21 of the game server 20 acquires the individual identification information or the user ID and password from the HTTP request, and acquires the individual identification information or the user ID and password. For example, the authentication process is performed by collating with data recorded in the user database 31.

The game execution means 52 receives an HTTP request in response to a user's selection operation on the web page with respect to the communication terminal 10, and HTML data (that is, an HTTP response) for sequentially updating the web page displayed on the communication terminal 10. Is transmitted, the function of executing the game of this embodiment by a web service is provided. The game according to the present embodiment includes the following processing to be executed by the user.
・ Quest processing: Processing to search for warrior cards in order to build up their own team ・ Battle processing: Processing to battle (combat) a team composed of warrior cards owned by other users in the game The processing is not described in detail here, but for example, the result of the battle is determined according to the size of a parameter (for example, a value indicating attack power or defense power) indicating the ability of the warrior card used by the user in the battle. Configured as follows. For example, a user who uses a warrior card with a large parameter for a battle may be set to have a higher possibility of winning against another user who uses a warrior card with a smaller parameter for the battle.

The function in which the game execution means 52 performs a quest process is implement | achieved as follows.
When the CPU 21 of the game server 20 recognizes that the search menu m5 is selected, it accesses the user database 31 and updates (decreases) the action point value of the target user ID. In the quest process, the action points required for one search may be different for each area to be searched. That is, the amount of action points that are reduced (consumed) in one search may be different for each area to be searched. For example, each time the skill level of the user increases, the amount of action points consumed may be increased.

When the CPU 21 recognizes the selection operation for the menu m5 (“search”), the CPU 21 draws a warrior card with a predetermined or random probability to appear from a plurality of warrior cards prepared in advance for quest processing. When the warrior card appears (excavated), the CPU 21 accesses the user database 31 and adds the data of the new warrior card that appears to the data of the target user ID. Is increased by one. Further, the CPU 21 generates HTML data for displaying the excavated warrior card in the display area 102 (see FIG. 10) and transmits it to the communication terminal 10. The HTML data is configured such that the progress data in the display area 101 is updated (for example, increases by a certain amount). When the CPU 21 determines that the value of the degree of progress has reached 100%, the CPU 21 updates the HTML data so that the search target is shifted to the next area.

The display means 53 displays a plurality (two in this embodiment) of female characters in the game image as choices of female characters by the user regardless of the progress of the game while the quest process is being executed (while the game is being executed). It has a function to make it. Here, “unrelated to the progress of the game” means, for example, that no difference occurs in the progress of the game after selection, regardless of which of the two female characters is selected, that is, it does not affect the progress of the game. That is.
The function of the display means 53 is realizable as follows. For example, when the CPU 21 of the game server 20 recognizes that the menu m5 (“search”) for proceeding with the game has been selected, for example, once in a predetermined number of selection operations or every time it recognizes that it has been selected. It is determined that the voting process is performed with a certain or random probability. When the CPU 21 determines to perform the voting process, the CPU 21 refers to the female character database in the game database 32, selects any two female characters, for example, at random using this database as a population, and associates them with the selected female character. Read the data of each item. Next, the CPU 21 generates HTML data for displaying a web page (for example, the web page P3 in FIG. 12) that includes data on the two selected female characters and that can vote for any of the female characters. To the user's communication terminal 10. As a result, two female characters as voting options are displayed on the game image of the communication terminal 10 of the user.

The acquisition unit 54 acquires information related to an operation for selecting any female character from the plurality of objects.
The function of the acquisition means 54 is realizable as follows. When the CPU 21 of the game server 20 generates HTML data for displaying a web page that allows female characters to vote (for example, the web page P3 in FIG. 12), each of the menus m10 and m11 for receiving a vote Is stored in the RAM 23 in association with one of the two selected female characters. When the CPU 21 receives an HTTP request including the selection result of one of the menus from the user's communication terminal 10, the voting result (selection result) of the female character of the user based on the selection result of the menu included in the HTTP request. Get the information.

The counting unit 55 has a function of counting information about the selection result of the female character based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit 54. The counting means 55 may have a function of ordering female characters in the order of the number of votes (that is, the number of times selected).
The function of the totaling means 55 is realizable as follows. When the CPU 21 of the game server 20 acquires information about the vote result of the female character of the user, the CPU 21 accesses the vote data of the game database 32 and performs a process of incrementing the value of the vote number corresponding to the voted female character. . When ordering female characters in the order of the number of votes, the CPU 21 accesses the vote data and performs a process of sorting the female characters in the order of the number of votes.

(7) Flow of main processing of game control device of this embodiment Next, an example of the flow of main processing performed by the game control device of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. . FIG. 15 is a flowchart when the quest process is performed in the game of the present embodiment. FIG. 16 is a flowchart when voting processing is performed in the game of this embodiment. FIG. 17 is a flowchart when performing a display process of ranking results of female characters in the game of the present embodiment.
As the processing in the flowcharts of FIGS. 15 to 17 is executed, HTML data for displaying the web pages P1 to P6 is transmitted from the game server 20 to the communication terminal 10 as appropriate. In some cases, the HTML data transmission process is not described in the flowchart. In the flowchart, the timings at which the web pages P1 to P6 are displayed are indicated by symbols P1 to P6.

First, in the flowchart of FIG. 15, when recognizing that the menu m1 for instructing execution of the quest process is selected on the top page (FIG. 9), the CPU 21 of the game server 20 displays the web page as shown in P1 of FIG. Is generated and transmitted to the communication terminal 10. Here, when it is recognized that the menu m5 (“search”) has been selected (step S100: YES), the CPU 21 is, for example, once every predetermined number of selection operations or whenever it is recognized that the selection has been made. Whether or not to perform the voting process is determined with a random probability (step S110). When the voting process is performed (step S110: YES), the process proceeds to step S120 which shows the detailed process in FIG. When the voting process is not performed (step S110: NO), the CPU 21 next draws a warrior card with a predetermined or random probability from a plurality of warrior cards prepared in advance for the quest, and the warrior card. Is determined (step S130: YES), a process of giving a warrior card to the user is performed (step S140). The process of giving a warrior card includes, for example, a process of updating user data based on the given warrior card. Further, the CPU 21 updates the progress and physical strength points (step S150), and the HTML data that displays the updated progress and physical strength points data and the data of the warrior card when a warrior card is given. Is generated and transmitted to the communication terminal 10.

In the flowchart of FIG. 16 (voting process), the CPU 21 refers to the female character database in the game database 32 and selects any two female characters, for example, at random using this database as a population (step S200). Next, the CPU 21 associates the selected two female characters with menus (for example, menus m10 and m11 on the web page P3 in FIG. 12), and generates and transmits HTML data for voting display on either of them. To do. That is, CPU21 performs the process which displays any female character on the communication terminal 10 so that a vote is possible (step S210). The HTML data includes data of each item of each selected female character obtained by referring to the female character database.

As a result of the process in step S210, the web page is updated as shown in P3 of FIG. When recognizing that one of the menus m10 and m11 for voting has been selected on the web page P3, the CPU 21 determines information on the voting result (selection result) of the female character of the user based on the selection result of the menu. Can be obtained. Then, the CPU 21 accesses the vote data and performs a process of incrementing the number of votes of the female character associated with the selected menu (steps S230 and S240).

For example, when a certain time has elapsed since the start of voting, the processing of the flowchart of FIG. 17 is performed. The CPU 21 generates HTML data for a web page that displays that the popularity vote ranking can be browsed, and transmits it to the communication terminal 10. Thereby, in the communication terminal 10, for example, as shown in P5 of FIG. 13, a web page including a menu m13 for browsing the popularity vote ranking is displayed. When recognizing that the menu m13 has been selected and operated on the web page P5 (step S300: YES), the CPU 21 accesses the vote data in the game database 32 and performs a process of sorting the female characters in the order of the number of votes ( Step S310). And CPU21 produces | generates the HTML data for displaying in order the female character ordered higher than the predetermined order as a result of sorting, and transmits to communication terminal 10 address (step S320). As a result, the popularity vote ranking result is displayed on the communication terminal 10 as shown in the web page P6 of FIG.

As described above, the game control device according to the present embodiment is capable of selecting a plurality of female characters during the game (in the present embodiment, during the execution of the quest process) regardless of the progress of the game (quest). A vote for allowing the user to select one of the female characters is performed, and the vote results are aggregated. Therefore, a user's preference with respect to a female character can be grasped widely.
This is due to the following reason. That is, for example, when it is desired to collect information on vote results (selection results) by a user of any female character from among a plurality of female characters (objects), the selection of the female character is performed separately from the execution of the game. When setting a menu or event for the user, the user may be annoyed and hesitate to select the menu or participate in the event. On the other hand, in the game control apparatus of the present embodiment, while a game is being executed, a plurality of female characters (objects) as options are displayed on the game image, and the voting results of the female characters are acquired accordingly. The user does not have to bother to participate in a menu different from the game execution or another event. Therefore, the information about the selection result of the female character of the user can be obtained without difficulty and tabulated. As a result, the user's preference for female characters can be widely understood.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game execution means 52 can advance the game of the present embodiment without being limited to the information related to the operation acquired by the acquisition means 54 (that is, the voting result). That is, since the selection of the female character does not affect the progress of the game, the user can expect to perform a voting action in which the user's taste is correctly reflected while the game is progressing.

(8) Modified Example In the above-described embodiment, the case where the voting process is performed in an alternative format in which two female characters as options are two has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. An arbitrary number of three or more female characters may be displayed as options to perform the voting process. In the case where the voting process is performed in the alternative form, there are advantages that the selection result of the user is less likely to vary than the selection of a large number of female characters, and the user's preference is easy to grasp. Also, by adopting an alternative format, the user can vote with a relatively simple operation, and even if the user frequently requests voting during the game, the user's burden is reduced and a large amount of data can be collected. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the display means 53 preferably displays two female characters as options on the web page P3 (game image).
Furthermore, the modification of embodiment mentioned above is demonstrated below.

(8-1) Modification 1
In the game control device of the above embodiment, the number of times the same user performs voting is not particularly described, but a plurality of times is preferable. That is, the display means 53 may display the same user with multiple choices of different combinations of two female characters (objects) displayed on the web page for selection. When the option is displayed only once for the same user, that is, when obtaining the vote result (selection result) only once, there is a possibility that the selection result of the female character by the user may vary. By obtaining a plurality of voting results, the variation is reduced, and the possibility that the user's preference is correctly reflected in the selection result can be increased.
In order to realize this modification, for example, the timing for performing the voting process is set so that the voting page is displayed at least twice on the communication terminal 10 of the user who executes the quest process. For example, when an area is advanced in the quest process, if the selection operation of the menu m5 (see FIG. 10) is performed 7 to 8 times and the progress of the area becomes 100%, the selection operation is performed 3 times, for example. You may set so that a voting page may be displayed once every time. At this time, the CPU 21 of the game server 20 stores in the game database 32 or the RAM 23 a female character already selected from the female character database for voting processing in the past for the same user, and the stored female The same female character as the character is not selected in the next voting process.

(8-2) Modification 2
FIG. 18 shows a functional block diagram of the game control device corresponding to the modifications 2 to 4 of the game control device of the above embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18, this functional block diagram is different from that shown in FIG. 14 in that adjustment means 56 is added.
The adjusting means 56 has a function of adjusting a plurality of female characters (objects) to be displayed as options based on the history of selection results of female characters. By providing the adjustment means 56, the content of the female character as an option presented to the user can be dynamically changed with a desired purpose in accordance with the total result. In the adjusting means 56, the CPU 21 of the game server 20 records the selection result of the female character for each user in the game database 32, and determines to each user based on the selection result for each user or the selection results of many users. On the other hand, a plurality of female characters to be newly displayed as options are determined.

(8-3) Modification 3
More specific contents of the adjusting means 56 described in the second modification will be described as a third modification.
In the game control device of the above-described embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 7, each female character is associated with an attribute. In this case, the adjustment unit 56 displays a plurality of female characters ( Object) may be selected from female characters having the same attributes as those of the female character most frequently selected by the user.
The attribute of the female character that is most frequently selected by the user can be considered to be a user's favorite attribute. Therefore, by setting a plurality of female characters to be displayed as options afterward as the user's favorite attributes, it is possible to further delve into preferences other than the user's attributes and deeply understand the user's preferences.

This modification can be realized as follows. In this modification, attribute count data is stored in the game database 32. FIG. 19 shows a data configuration example of attribute count data. As shown in FIG. 19, the attribute count data is a value obtained by counting the number of female characters (number of votes) selected by the user in the voting process for each user. As described above, in the embodiment described above, each female character is associated with one of the attributes A to D (see FIG. 7). Whenever the user selects a female character in the voting process, the CPU 21 of the game server 20 reads the attribute of the female character selected by the user, accesses the attribute count data of the user, The number of votes corresponding to the read attribute is incremented. When the CPU 21 determines that a predetermined number of times of selection has been obtained for the user, for example, the CPU 21 performs the following processing. That is, from the female character database, the female character having the attribute with the largest number of votes in the attribute count data is selected as the female character to be displayed as the next option for the user.

(8-4) Modification 4
Another more specific content of the adjusting means 56 described in the second modification will be described as a fourth modification.
In the game control device of the above-described embodiment, the counting unit 55 has shown an example (popular vote ranking) in which female characters are ordered in the order of the selected number. However, the adjusting unit 56 has a plurality of options displayed to the user as options. The female character (object) may be selected from the female characters ordered higher than the predetermined order by the adjusting means 56.
If the ranking of the female character selected by the user is low as a result of the ordering (popular voting ranking) by the counting means 55, the user may be disappointed with the counting result and may lose interest in the ranking result. Therefore, by setting a relatively high-order female character as an object to be selected, it is possible to attract the user's interest in the ranking result.

This modification can be realized as follows. The CPU 21 of the game server 20 accesses the vote data, sorts the female characters in the order of the number of votes, orders the female characters in the order of the number of votes, for example, a plurality of women that are ranked higher than the predetermined rank up to the 30th place. A character (for example, 30 bodies) is determined. When the CPU 21 decides to perform the voting process, the CPU 21 refers to the female character database in the game database 32, and a plurality of (for example, 30) female characters in the top ranking in the database are used as a population, and any two women. For example, the characters are randomly selected as a plurality of female characters to be displayed as options by the user.

(8-5) Modification 5
In the game control apparatus of the above embodiment, the counting means 55 is information regarding the time when a plurality of female characters (objects) to be displayed as options by the user are displayed on the voting page (game image) and the operation according to the voting page. The information about the selection result of the female character may be adjusted according to the time difference from the time when is acquired. The time when the information related to the operation according to the voting page (for example, the web page P3 in FIG. 12) is acquired is, for example, the time when the selection result of the female character is received (that is, the selection operation of any one of the menus m10 and m11). (The time recognized by the game server 20).

It can be considered that as the time difference is longer, a plurality of female characters (objects) to be displayed as options by the user are more difficult to select, and the user is troubled by the selection of the female character. In that case, it is possible to improve the accuracy with respect to the totaling result by reflecting in the selection result of the female character that the user is troubled by the selection of the female character. As an adjustment example of information about the selection result of the female character, for example, when the female character A and the female character B are displayed as options and the female character A is finally selected, When the number of votes of character A is 1, the number of votes of female character B is 0, and the time difference is long, for example, the number of votes of female character A is 0.7, and the number of votes of female character B is It may be 0.3.
This modification can be realized as follows. For example, the time difference can be measured by a timer built in the CPU 21, for example. For example, a correspondence table between the time difference and the number of votes is set in the ROM 22. CPU21 performs the process which reads the number of votes obtained according to the measured time difference with reference to the correspondence table. Or the function which shows the relationship between a time difference and the number of votes may be defined previously, and CPU21 performs the process which calculates the number of votes based on the measured time difference in that case.

(8-6) Modification 6
FIG. 20 shows a functional block diagram of Modification 6 of the game control apparatus of the above embodiment. As shown in FIG. 20, this functional block diagram is different from that shown in FIG. 14 in that a privilege granting means 57 is added. In the game control device of the above-described embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 7, each female character is associated with an attribute. However, the privilege granting unit 57 is based on the selection result of the female character (see FIG. 7). In the example, when it is determined that the user has selected a female character having the same attribute among the attributes of 4) a predetermined number of times, a function of giving a privilege on the game to the user is provided.
In this configuration, a privilege is given to the user when a certain condition (a female character having the same attribute is selected a predetermined number of times) is satisfied for the selection result of the user. Therefore, the user is motivated to actively select a female character (that is, a voting process). As a result, a large amount of information about the selection results (for example, voting results) by the user can be aggregated.

This modification can be realized as follows. In the present modification, as in the third modification, attribute count data (see FIG. 19) is stored in the game database 32. Whenever the user selects a female character in the voting process, the CPU 21 of the game server 20 reads the attribute of the female character selected by the user, accesses the attribute count data of the user, The number of votes corresponding to the read attribute is incremented. For example, when the CPU 21 determines that a predetermined number of times of selection has been obtained for the user, the CPU 21 gives a privilege on the game to the user. Although the privilege on the game may be set arbitrarily, for example, when giving a certain amount of physical strength points, the CPU 21 accesses the user data of the user to be granted, and is given the value of physical strength points. Adds only the amount of health points.

(8-7) Modification 7
In the game control device, the privilege may be an increase in the frequency with which the user displays a plurality of female characters (objects) as options on a voting page (game image). For example, each time a female character is selected, if a physical fitness point is given to the user as a point on the game, the frequency of selection increases because the frequency of displaying a plurality of female characters as options increases. A privilege will be given to a user. In addition, it is preferable that the period or frequency | count that a privilege is provided to a user is restrict | limited so that a privilege may not be provided to a user excessively.
In order to realize this modification, for example, the timing for performing the voting process is set so that the appearance frequency of the voting page displayed on the communication terminal 10 of the user who executes the quest process increases. For example, in a state where a privilege is not given to the user, in the case where the setting is such that one voting process is performed every time the selection operation of the menu m5 (see FIG. 10) for advancing the quest process is performed three times, the user's privilege In such a state, the voting process may be performed once every time the selection operation of the menu m5 is performed twice.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. In addition, it goes without saying that each embodiment may be variously improved and changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. The technical matters described in the above embodiment and each modification may be applied in appropriate combination.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a social game has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in a so-called online game system in which a server device placed on a network and a home online game machine are connected, it goes without saying that the progress of the game by each user can be controlled as in the above-described embodiment.

In the above-described embodiment, the game server 20 and the database server 30 on the network realize the functions of the game execution unit 52, the display unit 53, the acquisition unit 54, the totaling unit 55, the adjustment unit 56, and the privilege granting unit 57. Although it was set as the structure, it is not restricted to this structure. All these means may be realized by the communication terminal 10, or at least a part of the means may be realized by the communication terminal 10. Since the communication terminal 10 and the game server 20 can have substantially the same hardware configuration, each function can be realized by the communication terminal 10 as described in the above embodiment. For example, FIGS. 21A and 21B show an example of function sharing between the communication terminal 10, the game server 20, and the database server 30 for each function in the functional block diagram shown in FIG. In the above-described embodiment, the database server 30 (game database 32) stores the female character database that is the female character selection population. However, the female character database is stored in the storage device in the communication terminal 10. Also good. In this case, the storage device may be a large-capacity storage device such as the RAM 13 in the communication terminal 10 or an HDD (Hard Disk Disk Drive) (not shown).

As an example, when the storage device that stores the female character database is the database server 30 and substantial processing is performed in the communication terminal 10, the processing may be performed as follows. At the start of game execution, the communication terminal 10 receives a female character database as a female character selection population from the game server 20 or the database server 30 and stores it in the HDD or the like. And CPU11 of the communication terminal 10 performs a scout process, and performs a voting process at an appropriate timing. When executing the voting process, the female character database stored in the HDD or the like is referred to. At the end of the game, the communication terminal 10 transmits data on the voting result (female character selection result) to the game server 20, and the game server 20 obtains the vote data in the game database 32 based on the received lottery result. Update.
