The mobile terminals 4A to 4D have a variety of model-specific hardware configurations, OSs used, and installed applications. It is assumed that the web server device 2 can distribute various application programs for online games corresponding to the mobile terminals 4A to 4D having various configurations. For example, the mobile terminals 4A to 4D can receive information indicating a controller image used in the game from the web server device 2, display the controller image based on this information, and output the content operated on the touch panel. . The controller image includes, for example, an operator for accepting an operation in a game.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional hardware configuration of the electronic circuit of the tablet terminal 3. Note that the portable terminals 4A to 4D have the hardware configuration shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, the CPU 11 controls the overall operation of the tablet terminal 3. The CPU 11 is connected to the main memory 12, the solid state drive (SSD) 13, the 3G & 4G communication unit 14, the wireless LAN communication unit 15, the short-range wireless communication unit 16, the external memory card 17, the display unit 18, and the touch panel via the system bus SB.

The image processing unit 22 creates and outputs file data in which the data amount is compressed by a preset file format, for example, JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) for a still image.
Note that the hardware configuration of the electronic circuit of the web server device 2 is very general and well known, and the description and description thereof are omitted.

Next, the operation in the embodiment will be described.
Hereinafter, an operation when a game is played online via the network 1 by the tablet terminal 3 and the mobile terminals 4A to 4D will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First operation example)
3A and 3B are flowcharts showing the processing contents of the web server device 2 that provides the game environment. Here, a case where the mobile terminal 4B interferes with the mobile terminal 4A while the game is in progress will be described as an example. FIG. 3A shows processing of the web server device 2 for the mobile terminal 4B on the disturbing side, and FIG. 3B shows processing of the web server device 2 on the mobile terminal A on the disturbing side.

At the beginning, the web server device 2 confirms that the portable terminal 4B has the right (priority) to interfere with the opponent in the course of the game, for example, has obtained an obstructing item (step A101), then the portable terminal In 4B, it is determined whether or not an operation for using the disturbing item has been performed (step A102).

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a game image of a game being executed on the tablet terminal 3 and the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B. In the tablet terminal 3 serving as a shared terminal, the character CA operated by the player using the mobile terminal 4A and the character CB operated by the player using the mobile terminal 4B are displayed on the display unit 18 while running side by side toward the goal line. An image of a progressing game is displayed.

When an operation for using a disturbing item is performed, the disturbing mobile terminal 4B displays a “disturb” button DT for instructing execution of a disturbing event at the end of the screen. By displaying the “disturb” button DT, it is suggested that interference with other terminal devices is possible. FIG. 4 shows a state where the player of the portable terminal 4B touches the “disturb” button DT with a finger.

The web server device 2 receives an operation signal corresponding to the “jamming” button DT by a touch operation on the touch panel input unit 19 of the mobile terminal 4B. The web server device 2 determines that an operation using a disturbing item has been performed in step A102, and sets a disturbing event for the mobile terminal 4A on the disturbing side (step A103).

In step A102, if the button DT is not operated for a certain period of time despite the display of the “disturb” button DT in the disturbing portable terminal 4B, the web server device 2 Is not used, and the process of step A103 is not performed.

On the other hand, the web server device 2 determines whether or not a disturbing event has been set for the mobile terminal 4A by an operation on the disturbing side (step A201).

If it is determined that the jamming event is not set here, the web server device 2 temporarily terminates the process assuming that no jamming process is performed on the mobile terminal 4A.

If it is determined in step A201 that a jamming event has been set, the web server device 2 judges whether or not the set jamming event definition exists in advance (step A202).
If it is determined that there is no definition of the corresponding disturbing event at this time, the web server device 2 makes a nop command (actually invalid without doing anything) for the touch operation on the “disturbing” button DT on the portable terminal 4B. Process) (step A205), and the process of the disturbance event to the portable terminal 4A is once ended.

If it is determined in step A202 that the definition of the jamming event exists, the web server device 2 instructs the mobile terminal 4A to execute the jamming event according to the definition. For example, after instructing vibration to the portable terminal 4A (step A203), the web server device 2 determines whether or not a time set in advance in the definition of the disturbance event has elapsed (step A203). A204).

Here, if it is determined that the time has not elapsed, the web server device 2 returns to the process from step A203 and continues the vibration instruction to the portable terminal 4A.

Thus, by repeatedly executing the processes of steps A203 and A204, the portable terminal 4A activates the vibrator 24 for a certain period of time to vibrate the apparatus housing itself. Meanwhile, the touch operation on the touch panel input unit 19 of the portable terminal 4A becomes very inaccurate due to the vibration of the apparatus housing.

When it is determined in step A104 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the web server device 2 once ends the processing of the disturbance event to the mobile terminal 4A.

As described above, when the execution of the disturbance event is instructed in the mobile terminal 4B, the mobile terminal 4A continues the vibration state by the vibrator 24 for a certain period of time.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to advance the character CA displayed on the tablet terminal 3 in the goal direction, even when the touch panel input unit 19 of the mobile terminal 4A is slid rightward, Due to the vibration of the casing of the portable terminal 4A, a sliding operation whose direction is not determined as shown in the drawing is performed. The tablet terminal 3 that has received the instruction for the slide operation displays the character CA in a state of straying and zigzagging toward the goal. As a result, the interference by the portable terminal 4B is surely executed.

(Second operation example)
5A and 5B are flowcharts showing processing contents in the web server device 2 that provides a game environment. Here, a case where the mobile terminal 4B interferes with the mobile terminal 4A while the game is in progress will be described as an example. FIG. 5A shows processing of the web server device 2 for the mobile terminal 4B on the disturbing side, and FIG. 5B shows processing of the web server device 2 on the mobile terminal 4A on the disturbing side.

At the beginning, the web server device 2 confirms that the portable terminal 4B has the right (priority) to interfere with the opponent during the progress of the game, for example, after obtaining the obstructing item (step B101). In 4B, it is determined whether or not an operation for using the disturbing item has been performed (step B102).

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a game image of a game being executed on the tablet terminal 3 and the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B. The tablet terminal 3 serving as a shared terminal avoids an obstacle OB while the character CA operated by the player using the portable terminal 4A and the character CB operated by the player using the portable terminal 4B run together on the display unit 18. The image of the game progressing toward the goal line is displayed. In addition, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B display a cross key CK for instructing a direction by a touch operation of the player. The cross key CK includes up, down, left, and right direction keys.

When an operation for using a disturbing item is performed, the disturbing mobile terminal 4B displays a “disturb” button DT for instructing execution of a disturbing event at the end of the screen. By displaying the “disturb” button DT, it is suggested that interference with other terminal devices is possible. FIG. 6 shows a state where the player of the mobile terminal 4B touches the “disturb” button DT with a finger.

The web server device 2 receives an operation signal corresponding to the “jamming” button DT by a touch operation on the touch panel input unit 19 of the mobile terminal 4B. The web server device 2 determines that an operation using a disturbing item has been performed in step B102, and sets a disturbing event for the mobile terminal 4A on the disturbing side (step B103).

In step B102, if the button DT is not operated for a certain period of time in spite of displaying the “disturb” button DT on the disturbing mobile terminal 4B, the web server device 2 Is not used, and the process of step B103 is not performed.

On the other hand, the web server device 2 determines whether or not an interference event has been set for the mobile terminal 4A by an operation on the interference side (step B201).

If it is determined in step B201 that a jamming event has been set, the web server device 2 judges whether or not the set jamming event definition exists in advance (step B202).

If it is determined that there is no definition of the corresponding disturbing event at this time, the web server device 2 makes a nop command (actually invalid without doing anything) for the touch operation on the “disturbing” button DT on the portable terminal 4B. Process) (step B206), and the process of the obstruction event to the portable terminal 4A is once ended.

If it is determined in step B202 that the definition of the jamming event exists, the web server device 2 instructs the mobile terminal 4A to execute the jamming event according to the definition. For example, after instructing the portable terminal 4A to reduce the size of the cross key CK (step B203), the web server device 2 determines whether or not the time set in advance has elapsed as a jamming event. (Step B204).

Here, if it is determined that the time has not elapsed, the web server device 2 waits until a predetermined time has elapsed by repeatedly executing the process of step B204. Therefore, in the portable terminal 4A, the reduction of the size of the cross key CK is maintained for a certain time, and the operability at the touch panel input unit 19 is extremely deteriorated during that period.

If it is determined in step B204 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the web server device 2 instructs the portable terminal 4A to set the size of the cross key CK to the original size, and cancels the reduction of the cross key CK. (Step B205). The web server device 2 once ends the processing of the disturbance event to the mobile terminal 4A.

As described above, when the execution of the disturbance event is instructed in the mobile terminal 4B, the display size of the cross key CK is reduced for a certain time in the mobile terminal 4A.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to advance the character CA displayed on the tablet terminal 3 in the direction of the goal while avoiding the obstacle OB, the cross key is suddenly operated while the cross key CK is being operated. Instead of CK, a cross key CKs whose size is greatly reduced is displayed. Therefore, even if the character is operating to avoid the obstacle OB by operating the operation key in the “down” direction of the cross key CK, the operation becomes invalid. Since the tablet terminal 3 is not operated to avoid the obstacle OB in the portable terminal 4A, the tablet CA 3 displays the character CA so as to collide with the obstacle OB. As a result, the interference by the portable terminal 4B is surely executed.

(Third operation example)
7A and 7B are flowcharts showing processing contents in the web server device 2 that provides a game environment. Here, a case where the mobile terminal 4B interferes with the mobile terminal 4A while the game is in progress will be described as an example. FIG. 7A shows processing of the web server device 2 for the disturbing portable terminal 4B, and FIG. 7B shows processing of the web server device 2 for the disturbing portable terminal 4A.

At the beginning, the web server device 2 confirms that the portable terminal 4B has the right (priority) to interfere with the opponent during the progress of the game, for example, after obtaining the obstructing item (step C101). In 4B, it is determined whether or not an operation for using the disturbing item has been performed (step C102).

FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating an initial state of a game image of a game being executed on the tablet terminal 3 and the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B. In the tablet terminal 3 serving as a shared terminal, the character CA operated by the player using the mobile terminal 4A and the character CB operated by the player using the mobile terminal 4B in the display unit 18 proceed toward the goal line while running side by side. A game image is displayed. In addition, the

portable terminals

The disturbing mobile terminal 4B displays a “disturb” button TO for instructing execution of a disturb event at the end of the screen. FIG. 8A shows a state after the player of the portable terminal 4B touches the “interference” button TO with a finger.

The web server device 2 receives an operation signal corresponding to the “interference” button TO by a touch operation on the touch panel input unit 19 of the mobile terminal 4B. The web server device 2 determines that an operation using a disturbing item has been performed in step C102, and sets a disturbing event for the mobile terminal 4A on the disturbing side (step C103).

In step C102, when the disturbing mobile terminal 4B displays the “disturb” button TO but does not operate the button for a certain period of time, the web server device 2 displays the disturbing item. Since it is determined that it has not been used, the process of step C103 is not performed.

On the other hand, when a jamming event is set in step C103, the web server device 2 instructs the jamming portable terminal 4B to display a manipulation key for jamming (step C104). In response to an instruction from the web server device 2, the mobile terminal 4 </ b> B displays an interference cross key (interference cross key) FCK, for example, as shown in FIG. 8B, and accepts a touch operation on the interference cross key FCK. (Step C106). The disturbing cross key FCK displayed on the mobile terminal 4B invalidates the operation on the cross key CK displayed on the mobile terminal 4A and can accept the operation in place of the cross key CK of the mobile terminal 4A. That is, the disturbing cross key FCK can take over the portable terminal 4A and control the movement of the character CA in the portable terminal 4B.

After displaying the disturbing cross key FCK, the web server device 2 determines whether or not the time defined by the disturbing event has elapsed (step C107).

Here, when it is determined that the time has not elapsed, the web server device 2 reflects the operation on the disturbing key received in Step C106 on the character CA of the other party mobile terminal 4A to be disturbed. (Step C108), the process returns to Step C106 again.

Thus, by repeatedly executing the processing of steps C106 to C108, the disturbing portable terminal 4B can take over the movement of the opponent character CA for a certain period of time.

When it is determined in step C107 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the web server device 2 sets an event (interference end event) for terminating the disturbing state in the opponent mobile terminal 4A (step C109), and sets the mobile terminal 4B to the mobile terminal 4B. The disturbing operation key is erased (step C110). The web server device 2 once terminates the process of obstructing the mobile terminal 4A by the mobile terminal 4B.

On the other hand, the web server device 2 determines whether or not a disturbing event has been set for the mobile terminal 4A by an operation on the disturbing side (step C201).

Here, when it is determined that no jamming event is set, the web server device 2 temporarily terminates the processing of the jamming event on the assumption that no jamming processing is performed on the mobile terminal 4A.

If it is determined in step C201 that a jamming event has been set, the web server device 2 judges whether or not the set jamming event definition exists in advance (step C202).
If it is determined that there is no definition of the corresponding jamming event at this time, the web server device 2 responds to the operation of the “jamming” button TO on the portable terminal 4B by a nop command (a process for invalidating without doing anything). Is executed (step C209), and the processing of the disturbance event to the portable terminal 4A is once ended.

If it is determined in step C202 that the definition of the jamming event exists, the web server device 2 instructs the mobile terminal 4A to execute the jamming event according to the definition. For example, after invalidating the operation on the cross key CK displayed on the portable terminal 4A as the interference event (step C203), the web server device 2 determines whether or not a time set in advance by definition has elapsed. (Step C204).

FIG. 8A is a display example at the timing when the operation on the cross key CK is invalidated in the portable terminal 4A. In the example shown in FIG. 8A, in the portable terminal 4A, although the character CA is instructed to move in the right direction (goal direction) by operating the cross key CK, the tablet terminal 3 uses the portable terminal 4A. Since the key operation is disabled, a game image in which the character CA is not moving is displayed.

If it is determined in step C204 that the preset time has not elapsed, the web server device 2 determines whether or not an interruption end event has been set by the processing of the disturbing portable terminal 4B (step C205). ).

If it is determined that the jamming end event is not set here, the web server device 2 judges whether or not an operation signal is received from the portable terminal 4B by an operation on the jamming cross key FCK (step C206).

If it is determined that the operation signal from the interfering cross key FCK has not been received, the web server device 2 returns to the process of step C204.

The web server device 2 repeatedly executes the processes of steps C204 to C206, so that a preset time has elapsed, an interruption end event is set from the portable terminal 4B, or an operation with the interference cross key FCK is performed. Wait for signal to be received.

When the operation signal by the disturbing cross key FCK is received (step C206), the web server apparatus 2 reflects the operation content for the disturbing cross key FCK on the character CA of the mobile terminal 4A on the disturbing side (step C206). C207), the process returns to step C204 again.

FIG. 8B is a display example when an operation in the “up” direction of the interfering cross key FCK is executed on the mobile terminal 4B on the interfering side. In the example shown in FIG. 8B, in the portable terminal 4A, although the movement of the character CA in the right direction (goal direction) is instructed by the operation of the cross key CK in the “right” direction, this is invalidated. Has been.

In addition, in the disturbing mobile terminal 4B, the operation of the disturbing cross key FCK in the “up” direction is executed. Therefore, the tablet terminal 3 displays a game image that moves the character CA of the mobile terminal 4A upward in response to an operation on the disturbing cross key FCK.

By controlling the movement or the like of the character on the side that is obstructed by the key operation on the obstructing side in this way, the operation is invalidated on the portable terminal 4A, and the game development is clearly disadvantageous.

If it is determined in step C204 that a certain time has elapsed, or if it is determined in step C205 that an interruption end event has been set, the web server device 2 operates the operation key on the obstructed portable terminal 4A. Is canceled (step C208), and the processing of the disturbing event to the portable terminal 4A is temporarily ended.

As described above, the obstruction instruction and the takeover operation in the portable terminal 4B not only invalidate the operation on the cross key CK in the portable terminal 4A, but also control the movement of the character CA by the player of the portable terminal 4B. As a result, the interference by the portable terminal 4B is surely executed.

In the first to third operation examples described above, the web server device 2 controls the game through the network 1, the game image is displayed on the tablet terminal 3, and the mobile terminals 4A to 4D are displayed. In the above description, it is assumed that the controller image is displayed and the key operation corresponding to the controller image is input. In the following fourth and fifth operation examples, after the game is started, the game control operation is executed in a closed system composed of the tablet terminal 3 and the mobile terminals 4A to 4D. Specifically, the game control operation is executed on both the tablet terminal 3 and the mobile terminals 4A to 4D, and the game can be continued even if the connection with the web server device 2 is interrupted.
Hereinafter, an example of such an operation will be described.

(Fourth operation example)
FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B are flowcharts showing the contents of each process in the portable terminals 4A to 4D that are operation terminals and the tablet terminal 3 that is a display terminal. FIG. 9A shows processing performed by, for example, the portable terminal on the operation terminal side during the game, and FIG. 9B shows processing performed by the tablet terminal 3 handled as a display terminal that is a sharing machine. Hereinafter, an example in which two

mobile terminals

4A and 4B are used as operation terminals will be described.

First, each of the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B acquires proficiency level information k for the game to be executed (step D101). The proficiency level information k may be stored for each of the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B, or may be acquired from the web server device 2 via the network 1 as necessary. Next, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B set a threshold value N for the number of operations corresponding to the proficiency level information k (step D102). The

mobile terminals

4A and 4B are set so that the value of the threshold value N increases as the proficiency level information k indicates a high proficiency level.

In the fourth operation example, the threshold value N is “thinned” by assuming that only one operation is a valid operation and the remaining “N−1” operations are invalid for N operations. Is the value of For example, when the threshold value N = 2, one of the two operations on the operation terminal is treated as valid.

Therefore, the value of the proficiency level information k is higher, and the more proficient the game is, the larger the value of N is, and the larger the ratio of operations “decimated” is set. The threshold value N corresponds to an activation rate for the operation.

After setting the threshold value N, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B determine whether or not there is a key input (step D103).

If it is determined that there is no key input, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B further determine whether or not there is a notification of the end of the battle from the operation terminals of the opponents (step D108). If there is no notification of the end of the match, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B return to the process of step D103.

Thus, by repeatedly executing the processes of steps D103 and D108, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B wait for a key input and a notice of the end of the battle from the mobile terminal as the opponent.

If it is determined in step D103 that there is a key input, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B update the value of the variable n for counting the number of key inputs to “+1” (step D104), and then update the variable n. It is determined whether or not the value is a threshold value N (step D105). That is, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B determine whether or not to enable key input.

Here, when it is determined that the value of the updated variable n is not equal to the threshold value N, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B invalidate the key input by the “thinning” process, and give a notification corresponding to the key input. do not do. The

portable terminals

4A and 4B proceed to the process of step D108 to prepare for the next key input.

If it is determined in step D105 that the value of the updated variable n has reached the threshold value N, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B determine that the key input is valid, and that the tablet terminal indicates that there has been one key input. 3 (step D106), the variable n is reset (n = 0) (step D107). The

portable terminals

4A and 4B proceed to the process of step D108 to prepare for further key input.

Then, when it is determined in step D108 that the opponent terminal device has notified the battle end, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B once terminate the process in the game.

On the other hand, the tablet terminal 3 as a display terminal repeatedly determines whether or not a notification corresponding to a valid key input has been received from the mobile terminal 4A or the mobile terminal 4B (step D201), and waits for a key input. To do.

When it is determined that there is a key input notification, the tablet terminal 3 displays a game image advanced by a preset movement width by the player character corresponding to the notification on the display unit 18 (step D202). Then, it is determined whether or not the character advanced in the game image has reached the goal, that is, whether or not the game has ended (step D203).

If it is determined that the goal has not been reached, the tablet terminal 3 returns to the process of step D201 to prepare for notification from the mobile terminal 4A or the mobile terminal 4B.

Thereafter, the processing of steps D201 to D203 is repeatedly executed, and the tablet terminal 3 sequentially advances the characters CA and CB corresponding to the players of the

portable terminals

4A and 4B in the game screen in accordance with the key input.

When it is determined in step D203 that any character has reached the goal in the game screen, the tablet terminal 3 notifies the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B of the end of the game (step D204). The tablet terminal 3 once ends the process in the game progress.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of operations and game images executed on the tablet terminal 3 and the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B. In FIG. 10, for example, “3” is set as the threshold value N according to the proficiency level k in the mobile terminal 4A, and “1” is set as the threshold value N according to the proficiency level k in the mobile terminal 4B. Explains the difference in operability.

In the tablet terminal 3 shown in FIG. 10, the character CA operated by the player of the mobile terminal 4A and the character CB operated by the player of the mobile terminal 4B run side by side and move rightward to a goal at the same distance. Is shown.

Here, when the player performs a long slide operation in the right direction on the portable terminal 4B having a low threshold (N = 1), the character CB is displayed to move on the tablet terminal 3 for each slide operation. The

On the other hand, in the portable terminal 4A having a high threshold (N = 3), when the player performs a long slide operation to the right, thinning is performed so that one of the three slide operations is valid. Is done. For this reason, in order to move the character CA in the tablet terminal 3 in the same manner as the character CB, a sliding operation is required three times as many times as the portable terminal 4B, resulting in a large handicap.

FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B are diagrams showing examples of operations and game images executed on the tablet terminal 3 and the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B. 11A and 11B, for example, the threshold value N is set to “1” according to the proficiency level k in the mobile terminal 4A, and the threshold value N is set to “1” according to the proficiency level k in the mobile terminal 4B. This shows the difference in operability.

In the tablet terminal 3 shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the character CA operated by the player of the portable terminal 4A and the character CB operated by the player of the portable terminal 4B both climb the tree to a goal at the same height. Shows the game moving up.

Here, in the portable terminal 4B having a low threshold (N = 1), when the player performs a touch operation on the touch button TB displayed on the display unit 18, the character CB is displayed on the tablet terminal 3 for each touch operation. Is displayed so as to move upward as shown in FIG. 11B.

On the other hand, in the portable terminal 4A having a high threshold (N = 3), when the player performs a touch operation on the touch button TB, the thinning process is performed so that one of the three touch operations is valid. Is done. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 11B, in order to move the character CA in the tablet terminal 3 in the same manner as the character CB, the touch operation on the touch button TB is required three times as many times as the portable terminal 4B. It becomes a big handicap.

(Fifth operation example)
FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B are flowcharts showing the processing contents in the mobile terminals 4A to 4D that are operation terminals and the tablet terminal 3 that is a display terminal. FIG. 12A shows a process performed by, for example, the portable terminal on the operation terminal side during the game, and FIG. 12B shows a process performed by the tablet terminal 3 handled as a display terminal that is a sharing machine. Hereinafter, an example in which two

mobile terminals

4A and 4B are used as operation terminals will be described.

First, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B determine whether or not there is a key input (step E101).

If it is determined that there is no key input, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B further determine whether or not there is a notification of the end of the battle from each other's opponent's operation terminal (step E103). If there is no notification of the end of the match, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B return to the process of step E101.

Thus, by repeatedly executing the processing of steps E101 and E103, the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B wait for key input and notification of the end of the battle from the mobile terminal as the opponent.

If it is determined in step E101 that there has been a key input, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B notify the tablet terminal 3 that there has been one key input (step E102), and then prepare for the next key input. Therefore, the process proceeds to step E103.

When it is determined in step E103 that the opponent terminal device has notified the battle end, the

portable terminals

4A and 4B once terminate the process in the game.

On the other hand, the tablet terminal 3 as a display terminal acquires the proficiency level information k at the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B used by each player at the beginning of the game (step E201). The proficiency level information k may be stored for each of the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B, or may be acquired from the web server device 2 via the network 1 as necessary. Next, the tablet terminal 3 sets a threshold value N for the number of operations for each of the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B in correspondence with the proficiency level information k of each of the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B (step E202). The tablet terminal 3 is set so that the value of the threshold value N increases as the proficiency level information k indicates a higher proficiency level.

In the fifth operation example, the threshold value N is “thinned” by assuming that only one operation is a valid operation and the remaining “N−1” operations are invalid for N operations. Is the value of For example, when the threshold value N = 2, one of the two operations on the operation terminal is treated as valid.

Therefore, the value of the proficiency level information k is higher, and the terminal device used by the user who is proficient in the game has a higher value of N, and the ratio of the operation being “decimated” is set larger. The threshold value N corresponds to an activation rate for the operation.

After setting the threshold value N, the tablet terminal 3 repeatedly determines whether or not there is a key input notification from the

portable terminals

4A and 4B (step E203).

If it is determined in step E203 that there is a key input notification from either of the

portable terminals

4A and 4B, the tablet terminal 3 updates the value of the variable n for counting the number of key inputs on the operation terminal to “+1”. After that (step E204), it is determined whether or not the value of the updated variable n has reached the threshold value N set in the operation terminal (step E205). That is, the tablet terminal 3 determines whether or not to validate the key input (step E205).

When it is determined that the value of the updated variable n is not equal to the threshold value N, the tablet terminal 3 invalidates the key input on the operation terminal by “thinning” processing and responds to the key input. Do not process. The tablet terminal 3 returns to the process of step E203 to prepare for the next key input.

If it is determined in step E205 that the updated value of the variable n has reached the threshold value N, the tablet terminal 3 determines that the key input is valid, and the movement width set in advance by the player character corresponding to the key input. After the game image advanced by the amount is displayed on the display unit 18 (step E206), the variable n of the operation terminal is reset (n = 0) (step E207).

Further, the tablet terminal 3 determines whether or not the character advanced in the game image has reached the goal, that is, whether or not the game has ended (step E208).

If it is determined that the goal has not been reached, the tablet terminal 3 returns to the process of step E203 to prepare for the next key input.

Thereafter, the processing of steps E203 to E208 is repeatedly executed, and the tablet terminal 3 sequentially advances the characters CA and CB corresponding to the players of the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B in the game screen in accordance with the key input.

If it is determined in step E208 that any character has reached the goal in the game screen, the tablet terminal 3 notifies the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B of the end of the game (step E209). The tablet terminal 3 once ends the process in the game progress.

13A and 13B are diagrams showing examples of operations and game images executed on the tablet terminal 3 and the

portable terminals

4A and 4B. In FIG. 13A and FIG. 13B, for example, the tablet terminal 3 sets “3” as the threshold value N according to the proficiency level information k for the mobile terminal 4A, and responds to the proficiency level information k for the mobile terminal 4B. The difference in operability when the threshold value N is set to “1” is shown.

Here, as in FIGS. 11A and 11B, in the tablet terminal 3, the character CA operated by the player of the mobile terminal 4A and the character CB operated by the player of the mobile terminal 4B both climb the tree to a goal at the same height. Shows the game moving up.

Here, in response to the key input notification of the portable terminal 4B set with a low threshold (N = 1), the tablet terminal 3 causes the character CB to move upward for each key input notification. Display to move.

On the other hand, for the key input notification from the mobile terminal 4A set with a high threshold (N = 3), the tablet terminal 3 is effective for one key input out of three key input notifications. The movement of the character CA is controlled by thinning out and processing.

Therefore, in the portable terminal 4A, in order to move the character CA in the same manner as the character CB, the touch operation on the touch button TB is required three times as many times as the portable terminal 4B. It becomes.

In each of the fourth and fifth operation examples, only one of the threshold N operations is enabled, and the remaining “N−1” operations are disabled, and the operation is thinned out. Although the case where it does is demonstrated, when operation is invalidated even if it partially, it may be unpreferable for a user on development of a game.

In this case, instead of the control for enabling only one of the N operations, each operation is enabled, and the character is moved by changing the character movement amount according to the threshold value N. Anyway. For example, the control is performed according to the amount of movement so that the amount of movement of the character for one operation is 1 / N according to the threshold value N. In FIG. 13B, in response to a single touch operation on the touch button TB of the mobile terminal 4A, the movement amount of the character CA (change amount of the game image) in the game image of the tablet terminal 3 is changed to the single touch operation of the character CB. It is set to 1/3 of the movement amount according to.

Furthermore, in the first to third operation examples, the web server device 2 performs overall control of the game via the network 1 when there is a disturbing side and a disturbing side between the mobile terminals. It is assumed that the tablet terminal 3 displays a game image, and the portable terminals 4A to 4D display a controller image and input a key operation corresponding to the controller image.

Further, in the fourth and fifth operation examples, regarding the control of the operation terminal and the display terminal, the involvement of the web server device 2 is not required at least after the game is started, and the tablet terminal 3 and the mobile terminals 4A to 4D are configured. In the closed system, specifically, it is assumed that the game control operation is executed on both the tablet terminal 3 and the mobile terminals 4A to 4D.

However, in the present invention, it is also possible to execute the operations described in the fourth and fifth operation examples based on the control of the web server device 2. It is also possible to execute the operations as shown in the first to third operation examples in the closed system of the tablet terminal 3 and the

portable terminals

4A and 4B without the involvement of the web server device 2.

Furthermore, in the first to fifth operation examples, the description has been made on the assumption that the tablet terminal 3 serving as the shared terminal is set. However, in any operation example, the tablet terminal 3 serving as the shared terminal may not be provided. . In this case, any system that can display a game image reflecting the operation content of each terminal device together with the controller image in each portable terminal can be similarly realized.

As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively use a smartphone or a tablet terminal owned by a general user and realize an environment for enjoying various games in consideration of the operability of the opponent.

In addition, in the above embodiment, for example, as described in the first to third embodiments, the vibration of the device casing serving as the operation terminal, the reduction or deletion of the operation element in the controller image, and the temporary operation of the operation element are performed. Since it includes at least one of invalidation and acceptance of the activation of the operation on the other terminal device with respect to the same operation element, including the bargaining with what is supposed to be disturbed, An environment where you can enjoy more diverse games can be provided.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, for example, as described in the fourth and fifth operation examples, a plurality of processes for operations are performed according to the activation rate (threshold value N) calculated according to the proficiency level set for each operation terminal. Treat as a valid operation once a time. Therefore, the player with different proficiency can enjoy the game equally by taking into account the handicap of each terminal device by the control that is very simple and has a low processing load.

Although not specifically described in the above embodiment, instead of thinning out the operation according to the threshold value N as described above, the processing amount on the game for one operation is changed according to the handicap. It is good also as what controls. In this case, since the amount of movement of each character is displayed in a different state, the movement in the vicinity of the goal, for example, in the vicinity of the goal can be expressed very realistically according to the handicap.

Further, in the first to third operation examples, it is assumed that the web server device 2 connected to the network 1 executes the main control of the game at once, and in the fourth and fifth operation examples, Although the control is described as being performed by the tablet terminal 3 and the

mobile terminals

4A and 4B, the present invention is not limited to this, and is controlled by a server device connected via a network and each terminal device that executes a game. It is conceivable to adopt a configuration in which the processes are distributed and executed on both sides.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. Further, the functions executed in the above-described embodiments may be combined as appropriate as possible. The above-described embodiment includes various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by an appropriate combination of a plurality of disclosed constituent elements. For example, even if some constituent requirements are deleted from all the constituent requirements shown in the embodiment, if the effect is obtained, a configuration from which the constituent requirements are deleted can be extracted as an invention.
