<Software configuration>
<Processing block>
A software configuration of the satellite device 14 and the player terminal 16 of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a processing block diagram of an example of the satellite device according to the present embodiment. By executing the program, the satellite device 14 executes a card registration receiving unit 60, a terminal character selection receiving unit 62, an authentication code display processing unit 64, an authentication processing unit 66, a game processing unit 68, a terminal operation processing unit 70, and a terminal operation end. A processing unit 72, a character information storage unit 74, and a terminal operation information storage unit 76 are realized.

The card registration accepting unit 60 accepts registration of cards used in the game from the satellite player. The satellite player registers the card by placing the card on hand on the board of the game play panel 33, for example. The satellite device 14 recognizes a card placed on the board surface of the game play panel 33 by a satellite player using, for example, the mechanism shown in FIG. 5 of JP-A-2016-128029.

The card registration receiving unit 60 reads out information on the character in the game associated with the recognized card from, for example, the character information storage unit 74. The card registration receiving unit 60 displays the recognized card on a card registration screen described later using the read information on the characters in the game. The satellite device 14 can specify the character used in the game by the card that has received registration from the satellite player.

The terminal character selection receiving unit 62 receives the selection of the terminal character from the satellite player. The terminal character is a character in the game operated by the terminal player from the player terminal 16. The satellite player can select a terminal character by selecting a card from a plurality of cards registered from the card registration receiving unit 60.

The authentication code display processing unit 64 displays an authentication code for authenticating the player terminal 16 operated by the terminal player on an authentication code screen described later. The authentication processing unit 66 receives an authentication request using an authentication code from the player terminal 16 and performs authentication. If the authentication code is displayed on the authentication code screen, the authentication processing unit 66 determines that the authentication is successful. The authentication processing unit 66 stores the identification information of the player terminal 16 that has been successfully authenticated and the identification information of the terminal character in association with each other, for example, in the terminal operation information storage unit 76.

If there is a player terminal 16 that has been successfully authenticated, the game processing unit 68 displays a game screen with a terminal operation by the terminal player of the player terminal 16 and advances the game. If there is no player terminal 16 that has been successfully authenticated, the game processing unit 68 displays a game screen without terminal operation by the terminal player, and advances the game.

On the game screen with terminal operation, the game processing unit 68 performs an operation on the terminal character received from the terminal player of the player terminal 16 that has been successfully authenticated, and an operation on a character other than the terminal character received from the satellite player of the satellite device 14. Based on the game.

The terminal operation processing unit 70 receives an operation for the terminal character from the player terminal 16 that has been successfully authenticated. When the terminal operation end processing unit 72 is proceeding with the terminal operation and the terminal operation end condition is met, the terminal operation end processing unit 72 ceases to accept the operation of the terminal character from the player terminal 16, and the operation of all characters is performed by the satellite. The terminal operation processing unit 70 is controlled to accept from the satellite player of the device 14.

There are various terminal operation termination conditions, such as a request from a satellite player, a request from a terminal player, and a program control such as a communication state between the satellite device 14 and the player terminal 16.

FIG. 7 is a processing block diagram of an example of the player terminal according to the present embodiment. The player terminal 16 implements an authentication code input acceptance unit 80, an authentication request unit 82, an operation screen control unit 84, and an operation content transmission unit 86 by executing a program.

The authentication code input receiving unit 80 displays an authentication code input screen and receives an input of the authentication code from the terminal player. The terminal player inputs the authentication code displayed on the authentication code screen of the satellite device 14 to the authentication code input screen.

The authentication request unit 82 makes an authentication request to the satellite device 14 using the authentication code input on the authentication code input screen. When it is determined that the authentication is successful, the operation screen control unit 84 displays an operation screen described later. The terminal player can operate the terminal character from an operation screen described later. The operation content transmitting unit 86 transmits the operation content received from the operation screen to the satellite device 14.

<Processing>
In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a character in the game is a military commander, and a satellite player and a terminal player operate a military commander's unit to perform a battle. Note that the game system 1 according to the present embodiment is not limited to a battle game in which a warrior's unit is operated to perform a battle, and a part of an operation target operated by the satellite player with the satellite device 14 is transferred from the player terminal 16 to the terminal player It can be applied to a game system that can be set so that can be operated.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an example of processing of the game system according to the present embodiment. In step S <b> 10, the satellite player registers the card by placing the card used in the game on the board of the game play panel 33. The card registration receiving unit 60 of the satellite device 14 recognizes the card placed on the board surface of the game play panel 33 by the satellite player. Then, the card registration receiving unit 60 displays the recognized card image on, for example, the card registration screen of FIG.

FIG. 9 is an image diagram of an example of a card registration screen. On the card registration screen, an image 1001 of the card recognized by the card registration receiving unit 60 is displayed. In step S11, the satellite player operates the satellite device 14 to select a terminal character from the card image 1001 displayed on the card registration screen of FIG. The terminal character selection receiving unit 62 of the satellite device 14 displays, for example, the icon 1002 of the player terminal 16 on the image 1001 of the terminal character candidate card selected by the satellite player, and the terminal character candidate card and the others. The character card is displayed so that it can be visually distinguished.

When the satellite player performs a determination operation on the card registration screen of FIG. 9, the authentication code display processing unit 64 of the satellite device 14 proceeds to step S12, and an authentication code for authenticating the player terminal 16 operated by the terminal player is shown in FIG. Displayed on the authentication code screen. FIG. 10 is an image diagram of an example of an authentication code screen. On the authentication code screen of FIG. 10, in order to link the satellite device 14 and the player terminal 16, a message prompting input of the authentication code to the application of the player terminal 16 is displayed. The satellite device 14 displaying the authentication code screen of FIG. 10 waits for an authentication request from the player terminal 16.

The terminal player who has seen the authentication code screen of FIG. 10 starts an application for a game to be executed in the game system 1 on the player terminal 16 in step S13. In step S 14, the terminal player confirms the authentication code displayed on the authentication code screen of FIG. 10 and inputs it to the player terminal 16. The authentication code input receiving unit 80 of the player terminal 16 displays an authentication code input screen and receives an input of the authentication code from the terminal player.

The authentication request unit 82 of the player terminal 16 makes an authentication request to the satellite device 14 using the authentication code input on the authentication code input screen. In step S15, the authentication processing unit 66 of the satellite device 14 receives an authentication request using an authentication code from the player terminal 16, and performs authentication.

If the authentication code is displayed on the authentication code screen, the authentication processing unit 66 determines that the authentication is successful, and displays, for example, the authentication completion screen of FIG. 11 in step S17. FIG. 11 is an image diagram of an example of an authentication completion screen. 11 is displayed on the satellite device 14, the satellite player and the terminal player can confirm that the satellite device 14 and the player terminal 16 are successfully linked.

Further, the authentication processing unit 66 returns an authentication result based on the authentication code to the player terminal 16. If the authentication result by the authentication code returned from the satellite device 14 is successful, the operation screen control unit 84 of the player terminal 16 proceeds to step S18 and displays an operation screen as shown in FIG.

FIG. 12 is an image diagram of an example of an operation screen displayed on the player terminal. The operation screen of FIG. 12 is a screen for using the player terminal 16 as a terminal character controller. The operation screen of FIG. 12 displays an area 1100 representing the board surface of the game play panel 33 of the satellite device 14, a terminal character card image 1101, a unit rotation slider 1102, and an approximate relationship button 1103. The operation screen of FIG. 12 shows an example in which there is one terminal character, but there may be a plurality of terminal characters.

The area 1100 representing the board surface of the game play panel 33 of the satellite device 14 indicates a range in which the card can be moved (slidable) on the board surface of the game play panel 33 of the satellite device 14. The terminal player can move the card image 1101 of the terminal character within the area 1100 as shown in FIG.

FIG. 13 is an example for explaining the movement of the card image on the operation screen. In FIG. 13A, an image 1101 of the card is displayed at the lower right of the area 1100. It is assumed that the terminal player wants to move the card image 1101 to the upper left of the area 1100.

In FIG. 13B, the terminal player is touching the upper left of the area 1100 where the card image 1101 is to be moved. By touching the area 1100, the card image 1101 moves from the lower right position in FIG. 13A to the upper left position in FIG. 13C. Note that the position where the card image 1101 is displayed in the area 1100 of the operation screen designates the movement destination of the unit in the game corresponding to the card.

Therefore, when the terminal player moves the card image 1101 as shown in FIG. 13C, the satellite device 14 sets the movement destination of the unit corresponding to the terminal character to the upper left of the battlefield. Thus, the action of the terminal player moving the card image 1101 of the terminal character within the area 1100 has the same effect as the action of moving the card on the board surface of the game play panel 33 of the satellite device 14.

In other words, the action of the terminal player moving the terminal character card image 1101 within the range of the area 1100 is operated by the terminal player virtually moving the card on the surface of the game play panel 33 of the satellite device 14. It can also be said.

Also, the unit rotation slider 1102 in FIG. 12 is an operation unit that receives the rotation operation of the unit corresponding to the terminal character from the terminal player. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the unit rotation slider. As shown in FIG. 14A, the terminal player can rotate the unit corresponding to the terminal character by sliding the slider 1201 in the direction in which the unit is desired to rotate. The slider 1201 on the unit rotation slider 1102 rotates in accordance with the unit rotation, as shown in the right diagram of FIG. Thus, by rotating the display of the slider 1201 in accordance with the rotation of the unit, the terminal player can intuitively recognize the rotation direction and the degree of rotation of the unit.

FIG. 14B shows the relationship between the position of the slider 1201 on the unit rotation slider 1102 and the direction of the unit. FIG. 14B shows that when the slider 1201 is placed in the middle of the unit rotation slider 1102, the unit is directed upward, and when the slider 1201 is placed on both sides of the unit rotation slider 1102, the unit is directed downward.

12 includes a button for accepting an instruction to activate a strategy of a unit corresponding to the terminal character from a terminal player, a button for locking the strategy, and the like. As described above, the terminal player can operate the unit corresponding to the terminal character from the operation screen of FIG.

Since the operation at the player terminal 16 is transmitted as operation information from the player terminal 16 to the satellite device 14 through communication or the like, how the result of the operation at the player terminal 16 is reflected in the satellite device 14 Such a game result may be fed back to the player terminal 16 and displayed on the screen of the player terminal 16. Further, since the progress of the game is displayed on the game screen of the satellite device 14, the terminal player can see the progress of the game by seeing this, so the above feedback does not have to be provided. Further, since the communication amount between the satellite device 14 and the player terminal 16 can be reduced by eliminating the feedback from the satellite device 14, the communication connection between the satellite device 14 and the player terminal 16 is likely. Can also be stabilized.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 8, if the satellite device 14 is not successfully authenticated by the authentication code, the process proceeds to step S16 to display a game screen without terminal operation and advance the game. On the game screen without terminal operation, the operation of all characters is accepted from the satellite player of the satellite device 14.

On the other hand, if the satellite device 14 succeeds in the authentication with the authentication code, the satellite device 14 proceeds from step S17 to step S19, displays a game screen with terminal operation as shown in FIG. 15, and advances the game. FIG. 15 is an image diagram of an example of a game screen with a terminal operation. In the game screen shown in FIG. 15, the icon 1301 of the player terminal 16 is displayed on the unit corresponding to the terminal character so that the unit operated by the terminal player can be visually distinguished. Further, in the game screen shown in FIG. 15, the plates 1302 of the units corresponding to the terminal characters are displayed in different colors so that the units operated by the terminal player can be visually distinguished. In addition, on the game screen shown in FIG. 15, even on the mini map 1303 that displays the entire battlefield, the units corresponding to the terminal characters are visually distinguished and displayed.

For example, in the game shown in the game screen of FIG. 15, based on the operation on the terminal character received from the terminal player and the operation on the character other than the terminal character received from the satellite player of the satellite device 14, Roles can be changed dynamically. In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the terminal character can be freely set and released even during the game. For example, the terminal character can be dynamically changed according to the role of the dynamically changing unit. it can.

Thus, according to the game system 1 of the present embodiment, a game that uses a plurality of cards placed on the board surface of the game play panel 33 as an operation medium for operating a plurality of characters in the game. In this case, a plurality of players can cooperate to advance the game.

8 is performed according to the procedure shown in FIG. 16, for example. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of an example of game processing with terminal operation. In step S31, the game processing unit 68 of the satellite device 14 performs an operation on the terminal character received from the terminal player of the player terminal 16 that has been successfully authenticated, and an operation on a character other than the terminal character received from the satellite player of the satellite device 14. Based on the, proceed the game.

The process of step S31 is repeated until it is determined in step S32 that the terminal operation end condition is met or it is determined in step S33 that the game process is ended. If it is determined in step S32 that the terminal operation end condition is met, the terminal operation end processing unit 72 proceeds to step S34, quits accepting the operation of the terminal character from the player terminal 16, and returns to the satellite device 14.

In step S35, the game processing unit 68 accepts all character operations from the satellite player of the satellite device 14, and advances the game. If it is determined in step S33 or step S36 that the game process has been completed, the game processing unit 68 ends the game that has been progressed.

As an example of the terminal operation end condition, a terminal operation end button 1501 is provided on the operation screen as shown in FIG. 17, and the terminal player can press the terminal operation end button 1501 as a condition. FIG. 17 is an image diagram of an example of an operation screen provided with a terminal operation end button.

Further, another example of the terminal operation end condition is that the terminal character card is removed from the board of the game play panel 33 and is returned to the game play panel 33 while the player terminal 16 is operating. You can also. By doing in this way, the satellite player can set the card which a terminal player operates during a game play suitably. That is, a card that is no longer detected from the board surface of the game play panel 33 is set as a card operated by the terminal player, and it can be realized by setting the terminal operation end that the card is detected again. . By displaying on the game screen in FIG. 15 that the card being operated has ended the terminal operation or that the card to be operated by the terminal player has been newly set (switched), the terminal player can You can know which card you operate. In addition, as another example of the terminal operation end condition, a predetermined operation of the input device 32 can be used as a condition. Furthermore, as another example of the terminal operation end condition, a communication state (communication disconnection) between the satellite device 14 and the player terminal 16 can be used as a condition.

As described above, the terminal operation end condition may be a request from the satellite player or a request from the terminal player. For example, a terminal player who is better at a game than a satellite player can teach the satellite player how to proceed with the game while operating the terminal character, and can return the operation of the terminal character to the game character at an appropriate timing. A satellite player who is better at playing games than the terminal player can leave the operation of the terminal character to the terminal player at first, and can return the operation of the terminal character to himself / herself when the situation becomes disadvantageous.

(Summary)
According to the present embodiment, the game system 1 in which a satellite player and a terminal player can operate an operation target in a game such as a unit operated by a card placed on the game play panel 33 in cooperation with each other. Can be provided.

The present invention is not limited to the specifically disclosed embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the claims. The card in the present embodiment may be other than a so-called card shape, for example, a medal shape, a figure shape, or the like, as long as it can recognize the correspondence with the character in the game.
