  Next, an outline of the answer counting system assumed in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The answer counting system assumed in this embodiment is a quiz game system (hereinafter referred to as quiz game). The content of the quiz questions includes, for example, questions that ask common sense. FIG. 6 is an example of a quiz game screen executed on the portable game apparatus 10. Based on the problem data stored in the ROM 180, a question sentence is displayed on the LCD 11, and four options are displayed on the LCD 12. A pass button 60 for passing this problem is also displayed. The player chooses what he thinks is the correct answer from the four options, and answers by touching with the stylus pen 17 or the like. In addition to questions selected from a plurality of choices, for example, questions that answer kanji are those that are answered by inputting characters on the touch panel, or the correct combination of options is answered. The problem may include various types of problems, such as a type in which a line is input on the touch panel and a combination is answered by connecting options. Thus, after answering a question and finishing answering a predetermined number of questions, a score, a grade, etc. are displayed as a result screen. The ROM 180 stores correct answer data for each piece of question data, and the correct answer or incorrect answer is determined by comparing the answer result data of the user with the correct answer data.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the result screen. As shown in FIG. 6, on the result screen, the player's results are displayed in the form of a radar chart classified into five items. ROM 180 stores problem data classified into a plurality (here, five) (for example, problem data is stored with classification identification data), and the grade is calculated and displayed for each classification. Is done. In addition, this result is a result about all the problems which the player has come up to then. That is, even if the number of questions answered in this play is only 10 questions, if 30 questions have already been answered so far, the combined results of 40 questions combined are displayed on the result screen. In this process, the portable game device 10 or the memory card 18 is provided with a non-volatile memory, and the past answer history (correct data or answer data itself) is stored in the memory, and based on the answer history. , Past results are displayed. In addition, you may make it display the grade about only the problem answered by this play, or the problem answered for the past predetermined number of times or the past predetermined period. In addition, the learning level and effort level of the player are also displayed using the initial answer result and the current answer result for a certain problem. This process is realized by storing the answer result data at that time in a non-volatile memory when the answer is made for each question data for the first time, and comparing the data with the current answer result data. .

  In addition, the quiz game in the present embodiment is compatible with network communication. Specifically, the portable game device 10 accesses a nearby access point by wireless communication as described above. Then, by establishing a connection with the server via the access point, it may be the answer result of the player (data indicating whether the answer is correct or incorrect, and in addition to this, data indicating a pass or an unanswered answer. It may also be data indicating the content of the answer itself (for example, data for identifying an option in the case of a question for which an option is input) In the latter case, correct data is sent to the server 50. And the correct / incorrect determination may be made on the server 50. Also, the latter may be transmitted in addition to the former) and the player's age, sex, address, grade, play frequency, etc. Attribute information can be sent to the server. Similarly, each answer result and attribute information are transmitted from the players all over the country to the server and totalized. The totaled results are transmitted to the portable game device 10, for example, a screen that compares the player's performance with the national average is displayed, how many other players have the same performance as the player, etc. Is displayed.

  Furthermore, in the quiz game according to the present embodiment, problem set data including a combination of a plurality of problems can be downloaded using the network communication. Hereinafter, this problem set data is referred to as a “problem pack”. This “question pack” is a kind of problem set combining predetermined problems among the problems of the quiz game, and one pack has, for example, about five problems. For example, suppose that the quiz game according to the present embodiment contains 2000 questions. Then, by the program processing executed on the server, among these problems, for example, a problem based on a predetermined theme such as “Top 5 problems that men in their twenties often make mistakes” is transferred to the server 50. Select based on the data aggregated. In this process, for example, answer result data to which age data is attached is transmitted from each portable game apparatus 10 to the server 50, and the server 50 performs an aggregation process based on answer result data in which the age data indicates the twenties ( That is, the number of correct / incorrect numbers and the rate are calculated for each question data), and five question data having a high number or wrong rate of incorrect answers are selected to generate a question pack. Then, the selected 5 questions (more precisely, a problem ID for identifying these 5 questions out of 2000 questions stored in the portable game device 10) are uploaded on the server 50 as a "question pack". Is done. In addition, multiple problem packs generated under various conditions are prepared and uploaded. More specifically, for each attribute (that is, for each of, for example, 20's, 30's, 40's ...), the aggregation process is performed based on the answer result data indicating the attribute, that is, the attribute is Calculate the number / rate of correct answers for each question data, the number / rate of incorrect answers, the number / rate of paths, the number / rate of unanswered answers based on the answer result data shown, 5 and the generated problem packs such as the top 5 with a high incorrect answer rate and the top 5 with a large number of passes are prepared for each attribute and uploaded (note that it is not necessary to prepare all the attributes). The portable game device 10 connects to the server and downloads the “problem pack”. At this time, instead of downloading all the problem packs on the server 50, it is possible to selectively download the problem packs according to the attributes (age, gender, etc.) set in the portable game device 10 of the user. it can. Thereby, for example, it becomes possible to make a player in their 20s challenge the “Top 5 problems that men in their 20s often make mistakes”.

  As described above, in the quiz game according to the present embodiment, the answer results of the respective players are totaled by the server 50, and a plurality of “question packs” suitable for the respective attributes are created based on the total results. Then, a “problem pack” suitable for the attribute data of the portable game device 10 among a plurality of “problem packs” on the server 50 can be provided to each of the portable game devices 10.

  In addition, for the time being, all the problem packs (with attribute data) are transmitted from the server 50 to the portable game apparatus 10 so that the portable game apparatus 10 selects and stores the problem packs that match the attribute data of itself. Alternatively, the attribute data may be transmitted from the portable game apparatus 10 and the server 50 may transmit a problem pack that matches the attribute data, or the server 50 may receive a problem pack ID (with attribute data). 10, the portable game apparatus 10 selects a problem pack ID that matches its own attribute data, transmits the problem pack ID to the server 50, and the server 50 displays the “problem pack” indicated by the problem pack ID. May be transmitted. In addition, in the portable game device 10 set in the twenties, a problem pack for the thirties may be downloaded. The tabulation results vary from day to day. For example, even in the “question pack” of the above “problem top 5 that men in their twenties often make mistakes”, the combinations of the problems included therein differ depending on the time. Therefore, the player can download various “question packs” that change from day to day based on the counting result, and can enjoy a timeless quiz game. In addition, since it is possible to answer a problem that suits you, the learning effect can be enhanced.

  The problem pack may be data including a plurality of problem IDs or may include a plurality of problem data. Further, after the “problem pack” is received by the portable game apparatus 10, the problem indicated by the problem pack may be automatically presented. When a plurality of players use one portable game apparatus 10, attribute data is set for each player and stored in a nonvolatile manner, and the selected player is selected and input. A problem pack suitable for the attribute data set with respect to may be downloaded. In addition, a problem pack suitable for each of a plurality of attribute data for a plurality of players is downloaded, and a problem suitable for the attribute data set for the selected player is selected by inputting one of the players. Only packs may be executable.

  8 to 13 are screen examples of portions related to communication between the portable game apparatus 10 and the server 50. First, the chart described above is displayed as a result screen in FIG. When the transmission button 61 is pressed (touched), a message indicating that communication is started is displayed as shown in FIG. 9, and the answer result of the player is displayed on the server using communication such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark). Sent to. Furthermore, the problem packs described above, aggregated national average data, and the like are downloaded from the server. In the server, based on the answer result data transmitted from each portable game apparatus 10, the above-described “question pack” generation process and the total average such as the correct answer rate based on all answer result data are calculated. The calculation process is performed, and the result is transmitted to the portable game apparatus 10 together with the “problem pack”. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10, the chart of the player (player) (displayed based on the answer result data stored in the memory of the player) and the national average chart (based on the total average data transmitted from the server). Are displayed in an overlapping manner. Further, when the “next” button 63 is pressed on this screen, as shown in FIG. 11, the number of players having results close to oneself is displayed. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, a display showing the national average grade, the ratio of the same grade, etc. may be performed. Then, when the “Next” button 63 is pressed on this screen, a message indicating that a new “Problem Pack” has been created is displayed as shown in FIG. Here, when the selection button 64 is pressed, a “question pack” selection screen as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed. In FIG. 14, icons 65 indicating a total of six downloaded problem packs are displayed. The player can select a problem pack he / she wants to challenge and press the icon 65 to challenge the problem pack. Note that the theme of the problem pack may be displayed on the icon 65, such as “Problem that 20s are not good at” or “Problem that men are good at”. After selecting the icon, a plurality of questions included in the question pack are answered in order. At this time, in the problem pack, it is possible to include not only the problem ID but also additional information such as a predetermined counting result and explanation, and using them, for example, as shown in FIG. You can show the prefecture with a high correct answer rate of the problem before the question, or you can show the answer rate of the whole country after answering as shown in Fig. 15 (b). Information can be obtained. Specifically, the server uses data such as the correct answer rate of each question, attributes with a high correct answer rate, and the answer rate for each option, calculated based on the answer result data for each question pack. The data is attached to each game device.

  Here, the outline of the data flow in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the data flow diagram of FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, first, answer result data (including the attribute data) is transmitted from a plurality of portable game devices to the server. Thereafter, the server stores a plurality of answer result data for each answerer in a storage medium (for example, answer result data transmitted from the game device within a predetermined period is stored). The attribute data is also stored with the answer result data. Aggregation processing is performed based on the stored answer result data. In the aggregation process, statistical data such as the national average is generated, and problem pack data is created by extracting questions from the results of the answerer data based on separately created extraction condition data Is done. This extraction condition is, for example, a condition such as “Top 5 problems often mistaken by men in their 20s”, in other words, data that is the basis of the problem pack. Next, the portable game device downloads a predetermined problem pack from the server. Then, the problems included in the problem pack are presented on the portable game machine. The extraction condition data can be updated by editing the operator, for example. The extraction condition data in which the update date is set may be created in advance by the operator and stored in the storage unit on the server, and updated by determining that the update date has been reached by the program.

  Next, various data used in the present embodiment will be described. First, various data relating to the portable game apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 17 is an illustrative view showing a memory map of the RAM 37 shown in FIG. In FIG. 17, the RAM 37 includes a game program area 100 and a data storage area 103.

  The game program storage area 100 stores a game program executed by the CPU 31. The program data stored in the game program area 100 is obtained by copying the program stored in the ROM 180 of the memory card 18 to the RAM 37. This game program includes a game main processing program 101, a communication program 102, and the like. The game main process program 101 is a program for mainly performing a quiz game process according to the present embodiment. The communication program 102 is a program for mainly performing processing related to communication with the server 50.

  The data storage area 103 stores data such as question data 104, answer result data 108, and player data 113, as well as data related to characters appearing in the game, data related to the virtual game space, and the like necessary for quiz game processing. Data is stored.

  The question data 104 is data on a quiz question that is given in this quiz game. The problem data is obtained by copying the data stored in the ROM 180 of the memory card 18 to the RAM 37. In this embodiment, a total of 2000 questions are stored. Each problem includes a problem ID 106 and a problem content 107. The problem ID 106 is an ID for uniquely identifying each problem. The problem content 107 is data about the content of a specific problem. This includes identification data indicating the type of the problem, question text, choice text and number data, correct information, data such as images and music used as the question.

  The answer result data 108 is data that is generated in response to a user input by executing a program and stored in the RAM 37. The data is also copied and stored in the RAM 185 at an appropriate timing, and is copied from the RAM 185 to the RAM 37 at the next execution. Each question 109 includes a question ID 106, an answer state 110, an initial answer 111, a latest answer 112, and the like. The answer state 110 is data indicating the first and last answer results. The answer status 110 is set as a total of 10 statuses including 9 statuses based on combinations of correct answers / incorrect answers / passes and unanswered statuses. For example, 10 states are represented by numerical values, and if the question is an unexposed state, a value of 0 is set as the answer state 110. Also, a value of 1 is set for the first correct answer and the final correct answer, a value of 2 is set for the first correct answer and the final incorrect answer, and a value of 3 is set for the first correct answer and the final pass. The first answer 111 is an answer content when the question is answered for the first time. For example, in the case of a four-choice question, the option when the answer is first made is stored. In addition, if the problem is in the form of inputting characters, a code representing the input character is stored. In the case of a problem in which the combination is answered, codes corresponding to all combinations are set in advance and answered. The code corresponding to the combination method is stored. The question can be answered many times for review, and the latest answer 112 is the content of the answer when answering the question for the last time, in the same format as the first answer 111, The last answer is stored. For each question ID, a flag indicating whether or not a question has been given (that is, whether or not question data has been reproduced by the question ID; whether or not an answer has been input) may be stored in the RAM 185 in a nonvolatile manner. Keep it. When the question data for a certain question ID is reproduced (or when an answer is input for the question), the program determines whether the flag indicates an unanswered question. Changed to indicate completed. Further, when it is determined that the question is to be answered for the first time based on the flag when the answer is input, answer data (for example, option data selected and input by the user) for the answer input, and / or The correct / incorrect identification data determined based on the answer data and the correct data (optionally may be pass identification data or unanswered identification data) may be stored in the RAM 185 in a nonvolatile manner. .

  The player data 113 is information regarding the player himself who plays this quiz game. The player data 113 includes model data 114, gender data 115, area data 116, age data 117, correct answer rate chart 118, and the like. Information relating to these players may be stored as input by the player when the game is first started, or may be input each time data is transmitted / received. The player data 113 (other than the model data 114) is data stored in the RAM 185 in a nonvolatile manner and copied to the RAM 37.

  The model data 114 is data for indicating the model of the game machine. In the present embodiment, the portable game apparatus 10 will be described as an example. In addition, the quiz game of the present embodiment can be applied even to a stationary game machine or the like. Therefore, a system in which both the portable game machine and the stationary game machine communicate data with the server may be configured. Therefore, information for identifying whether the terminal on which the quiz game is executed is the portable game device 10 or the stationary game device is stored in the model data 114. The model data 114 is obtained by copying data stored in the ROM 180 to the RAM 37.

  The sex data 115 is information indicating the sex of the player. For example, a value indicating one of four types of male / female / secret / undefined is entered. The area data 116 is information for indicating the area where the player lives, and stores, for example, a code indicating a prefecture or a region. The age data 117 is information indicating the age of the player.

  The correct answer rate chart 118 is information for indicating the correct answer rate and results of the player. That is, information about the chart as shown in FIG. 5 is stored. Here, in the present embodiment, the chart is classified into five items as shown in FIG. Specifically, it is classified into five types of items, “Courtesy”, “Wisdom”, “Society”, “Kimari”, and “Liberal Arts”. Also, questions to be asked are classified in advance into these five items. (That is, the ROM 180 stores identification data indicating any one of these five items together with the question content data for each question ID.) And for each item based on its own answer result data. The correct answer rate is accumulated, and the correct answer rate is expressed in, for example, five levels for each item. For example, the correct answer rate chart 118 stores a value of “53142”. This indicates the values of “courage”, “wisdom”, “society”, “crime”, and “education” in order from the left. Further, this value itself is used as a chart pattern number indicating a chart pattern (corresponding to the pentagonal shape shown in FIG. 6; all 3125 patterns).

  Next, various data related to the aggregation server 50 will be described. FIG. 18 is an illustrative view showing a memory map of the storage unit 53 shown in FIG. In FIG. 18, the storage unit 53 includes a server program storage area 200 and a data storage area 204.

  The server program storage area 200 stores various programs executed by the control unit 52, and this program includes a totaling processing program 201, a problem pack creating program 202, a communication program 203, and the like. The aggregation processing program 201 is a program for mainly performing aggregation processing. The problem pack creation program is a program for creating the above problem pack. The communication program 102 is a program for mainly performing processing related to communication with the portable game apparatus 10. In addition, an extraction condition entry program for manually updating the contents of the extraction condition data 208, which will be described later, is stored.

  The data storage area 204 stores data such as chart correlation data 205, answer information data 206, question pack data 207, extraction condition data 208, question pack list 209, answerer data 210, and the like. Data necessary for communication with is stored.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the chart correlation data 205. The chart correlation data 205 is data regarding a chart (see FIG. 7) of all the players that communicated with the server 50, and includes a total number of players 301, an average correlation chart 302, a total correlation chart 303, and the like. The total number of players 301 is the number of players who have performed player registration processing. That is, it is the number of players who have transmitted the answer result of this quiz game to the server even once. The average correlation chart 302 is data representing an average chart of all players. As described above, in this quiz game, since the chart is represented by five items and five stages, the average value of the correct answer rates for these five items is taken and represented as a chart. In the total correlation chart 303, what attributes (region / age / sex) have many players for each pattern (pentagonal shape shown in FIG. 7) of the chart represented by the above five items and five stages? The data for indicating the tendency of the player for each chart pattern.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the answer information data 206. The answer information data 206 is data in which answer information for all questions is stored. Each question 401 includes data such as question ID 402, number of respondents 403, wrong answer information & ratio 404, correct answer rate 405, wrong answer rate 406, pass rate 407, and the like. The problem ID 402 is an ID corresponding to the problem ID 106 included in the problem data 104 of the portable game apparatus 10. The number of answerers 403 indicates the number of people who solved the problem. The misanswer information & ratio 404 is information indicating the most common mistakes about the problem and the ratio among the mistakes. For example, if there are four choices and the correct answer is the first choice, which of the second to fourth choices is the wrong choice (which is the most wrong choice) And information indicating the proportion of each choice of incorrect answer. For other types of questions as well, answer information in a predetermined format such as the above-mentioned initial answer 111 is stored together with the ratio. The correct answer rate 405 indicates the correct answer rate of the problem. The error rate 406 indicates an error rate of the problem. The pass rate 407 indicates the rate at which the problem was passed. The data for the correct answer rate 405, the incorrect answer rate 406, the pass rate 407, etc. include not only the average data of all data, but also data such as top 3 and worst 3 by region and age. May be. As the chart correlation data 205 and the response information data 206, data generated by totaling the answer result data 108 received from the portable game terminal 10 when the control unit 52 executes the totaling program is stored.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the problem pack data 207. The problem pack data 207 is data regarding the above-described problem pack. Each problem pack 501 includes a pack title 504, a pack description 505, and a plurality of problem data 506. Further, as will be described later, a file name that can be searched according to conditions is given to the file name of each problem pack.

  The pack title 504 is character string data indicating the title of the problem pack. For example, “Best 5 problems that men in their 30s often make mistakes”. The pack description 505 is data indicating an explanation of the problem pack. This also includes the update date and update count of the problem pack.

  The problem data 506 is information on problems included in the problem pack (as described above, five questions are included in one pack). Specifically, the problem data 506 is information on all the problems stored in the answer information data area 206. Of the answer information data 206, only the answer information data 206 for the question ID selected to be included in the question pack is copied and stored in the area 506. The answer information data 206 includes a problem ID, and the problem included in the problem pack is specified by the problem ID. Further, by providing various statistical data (number of respondents, wrong answer information & ratio data, etc.) included in the answer information data 206 together with the question ID, as shown in FIG. When answering, you will be able to present problem information along with the questions. In the game terminal that has received the problem pack, when the problem is presented by the problem content data corresponding to the problem ID by the problem ID included in the problem pack (the problem corresponding to the problem ID is presented) Immediately before the question content data is output (at the start of the question) or immediately after the question content data is output and the response is input (at the end of the question) Statistical data included in the data 206 is output and presented.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the extraction condition data 208. The extraction condition data 208 is data regarding extraction conditions used when creating a problem pack. The contents of the extraction condition data 208 are manually updated by a server administrator, an operator, or the like, for example, once a week by an input means (such as a keyboard) provided in the server. The extraction condition data 208 includes a pack title 601, an extraction condition 602, a pack description text 603, and the like.

  The pack title 601 is data that is the basis of the pack title 504 of the problem pack data 207. In other words, the character string of the pack title 601 is set as the pack title 504 when the problem pack is created.

  As the extraction condition 602, an extraction condition for extracting the problem ID 106 to be included in the problem pack is set. This extraction condition is a condition that focuses on each item of the player data 113. For example, extraction conditions focusing on gender data 115, regional data 116, and age data 117, such as “problem worst 5 that men in their 30s often make mistakes” and “top 5 women with high accuracy rate in Tokyo” Extraction conditions that focus on the correct answer rate chart 118 are set, such as “Worst 5 in which people at the first level of courtesy often make mistakes” and “Top 5 questions that the person with chart pattern number 53142 passed well”. For example, in the case of “Problem worst 5 that men in their 30s often make mistakes”, the extraction condition 602 operates as the extraction condition, data identifying “male 30s” and data identifying “high error rate” Set manually. Then, the control unit executes the problem pack creation program 202 to read out the extraction condition, and among the respondent data, the answer data indicating that the player data is gender and the age is “male in 30s” is the problem ID. By summing up each, five problem IDs with a high error rate are identified and set as problem IDs to be included in the problem pack. The pack description text 603 includes a description of the problem pack and a sentence such as a message displayed on the screen when the problem starts or ends. A plurality of conditions can be set as the extraction condition 602, and a problem pack that satisfies the condition is generated for each condition.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the problem pack list 209. The problem pack list 209 is data having a meaning as a list (index) of problem packs included in the problem pack data 207. Further, as will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, when the portable game device 10 downloads the problem pack, a process of selecting the problem pack according to the player data 113 of the player is performed. This problem pack list 209 is used during the processing. The problem pack list 209 includes a set of a file name 701 and an update date 702.

  The file name 701 is a file name given to each of the problem packs 501 and is information used when the portable game apparatus 10 selects a problem pack corresponding to its own player data 113. In other words, it is information for indicating the player targeted by the problem pack. The file name 701 is generated in a format in which “file type” and “number” are combined. For example, “file type” is represented by one uppercase alphabetic character, and “number” is represented by a numerical value. Here are some examples of file names: For example, in the case of the file name “A27”, “A” represents a region, and “27” represents a code of the region, for example, Kyoto. That is, the problem pack with the file name “A27” indicates that the problem pack is for a player whose “region” is “Kyoto”. If “B02”, “B” indicates gender, and 02 indicates that the woman is female. That is, it indicates that the problem pack is for women. If “C23”, “C” indicates the age, and “23” indicates the age. In the case of “D22”, “D” indicates each element of the chart, and “22” indicates that the element “culture” is “2”. In the case of the file name “E06”, “E” indicates a chart pattern (the shape of the pentagonal chart shown in FIG. 6), and “06” indicates the pattern number (specific 5). Square shape). In addition, in the case of a problem pack for all players, for example, a file name “auto ***” (*** is 000 to 006) is assigned, for example. This is a problem that all players want to download. Granted when there is a pack. Note that the question pack may include information for indicating a player targeted by the question pack. In this case, there is no need to make a determination based on the file name.

  The update date 702 indicates the date when each problem pack was updated. That is, even if the files have the same name “A27” (for Kyoto), the contents differ depending on the time. For example, assuming that the contents are updated every week, even if the problem pack is for the same “Kyoto”, the problem included in this problem pack is different between last week and this week. Therefore, in the portable game device 10, even if a problem pack with the same file name has been downloaded before, if the update date 702 is updated to a new date, a process of downloading the problem pack again is performed. . For each downloaded problem pack, a flag indicating whether or not the problem pack has been executed is stored in the RAM 185, and even if the problem pack has an old date, the problem pack is executed based on the flag. If not, you may not want to download the problem pack for the new date.

  Returning to FIG. 18, the answerer data 210 associates the answer result data 108 and the player data 113 transmitted from the portable game apparatus 10, and stores the data of all the answerers who communicated for each answerer. It is what.

  Next, the answer counting process executed by the answer counting system according to the first embodiment will be described. First, as advance preparations, a player registration process for registering the player's personal data in the portable game apparatus 10 is performed. The player registration process to the portable game apparatus 10 is performed when the game is started for the first time. Specifically, when the quiz game is started for the first time, the player's age, sex, and region are input. These pieces of information are set in the sex data 115, area data 116, and age data 117 of the player data 113 and stored in the RAM 185 or the like. When the advance preparation is completed, processing as described below is performed.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a communication process executed by the portable game apparatus 10 and the server 50. In FIG. 24, first, in the portable game apparatus 10, a quiz question is given and an answer is input (step S1). Here, it is assumed that the player answers 10 questions per game. The process of step S1 will be described more specifically. The CPU 31 selects a predetermined problem (for example, the order in which questions are asked is set by a program) and displays it on the LCDs 11 and 12. In response to this, the player inputs an answer via the touch panel 16 or the like. Next, the CPU 31 appropriately sets the answer state 110 according to the contents answered by the player. In addition, information on the contents of answers (options, etc.) is set in the latest answer 112. Furthermore, for the first answer, the contents of the answer are also set in the initial answer 111.

  Next, when the answers for 10 questions are completed, the CPU 31 displays a result display screen (see FIG. 7) and transmits the answer result data 108 (step S2). The process of step S2 will be described more specifically. First, the CPU 31 displays a result display screen as shown in FIG. If the player instructs transmission of answer result data on this screen, the CPU 31 accesses a nearby access point. Then, the CPU 31 establishes a connection with the server 50. If the connection is established, the answer result data 108 is transmitted to the server 50. At this time, the player data 113 is also transmitted together. Note that it is not necessary to immediately perform the transmission process when the answer is completed, and the data stored in the initial answer 111 and the latest answer 112 at any timing such as when the user inputs the execution of the communication process. You may make it transmit.

  Next, in the server 50, the control unit 52 associates the answer result data 108 transmitted from the portable game apparatus 10 with the player data 113 and stores them in the answerer data of the storage unit 53 (step S3). . The reception and storage processing is always performed every time data is transmitted from the portable game device.

  Aggregation processing is performed on the answer result data 108 stored in the storage unit 53 (step S4). Here, it is assumed that the aggregation process is performed on the answerer data stored in the storage unit 53 so far, for example, once a day at a predetermined time (nighttime or the like). In the aggregation process, the answer information data 206 and the chart correlation data 205 are generated and updated. That is, for each question, the number of answerers 403, the number of correct answers, and the number of incorrect answers are tabulated to calculate a correct answer rate 405, an incorrect answer rate 406, and a pass rate 407. In the case of incorrect answers, the contents (how to make mistakes) are also counted, and the incorrect answer information & ratio 404 is updated. At this time, it is preferable that the initial answer and the latest answer are totalized separately. This is because, based on only the latest answer, the correct answer rate increases when the same question is answered repeatedly, depending on the nature of the problem (for example, a problem that examines the common sense of the world) This is because the data may not be used as appropriate data. In this manner, the answer information data 206 is updated by performing the aggregation process once a day. Further, in the aggregation process, an answer average correlation chart or the like is calculated, and the chart correlation data 205 is also updated.

  Furthermore, in the server 50, a question pack creation process is performed by counting the answerer data 210 (step S5). That is, processing for creating / updating the question pack data 207 is performed with reference to the extraction condition data 208 and the answerer data 210. First, the extraction condition 602 (for example, five questions in descending order of the error rate for men in their 30s) is acquired in order from the first item in the extraction condition data 208, and the answerer data 210 is aggregated (for example, for example) The problem ID 106 according to the extraction condition is extracted by calculating and comparing the error rate of males in their 30s for each problem. Then, a set of each question 401 in the answer information data 206 corresponding to the extracted question is stored together with a pack title 504, a pack description 505, and the like with a predetermined file name to be described later. In this way, the problem pack data 207 is created or updated. Here, as for the correct answer rate used for the extraction, the question pack can be created regardless of whether the answer of the first answer or the answer of the latest answer is used. When using the answer of the first answer, the increase in the correct answer rate by review is not reflected, so the question can be selected under statistically accurate conditions, and the comparison between yourself and the public can be made more accurately it can. Also, when using the latest answers, it can be assumed that the correct answer rate has increased due to review, so important problems such as problems that are difficult to learn or problems that must be remembered at once. Can be selected.

  Next, the problem pack list 209 is created in the server 50 (step S6). Specifically, the file name of the problem pack data 207 is written together with the update date. Also, the contents of the problem pack to which the existing file name 701 is assigned are updated, and the update date 702 is updated with a new date.

  In the portable game apparatus 10, the CPU 31 accesses the server 50 and requests the server 50 to transmit the problem pack list 209 (step S7). More specifically, first, the question assignment to answer input process is performed on the portable game apparatus 10 in the process of step S1. Then, the same result display and result transmission as in step S2 are performed. At this time, the request screen (see FIG. 13 above) of the problem pack list 209 is displayed. Then, the problem pack list 209 is requested in response to the player's request. In response to this, the server 50 transmits the problem pack list 209 to the requested portable game apparatus 10 (step S8). Here, as described above, since the aggregation process is performed only once a day, for example, the problem pack list 209 transmitted at this time is the last updated list, and is transmitted immediately before by the self. Although the data is not necessarily reflected in the aggregation, the problem pack is created based on statistical data, and therefore, the transmission result may not be reflected in real time. In this embodiment, the processing from S2 to S12 (terminal) and the processing from S3 to S11 (server) are performed continuously (at a time), and the response result data is transmitted and the problem pack is received at a time. Therefore, both can be realized efficiently by connecting to the server once. In addition, in order to receive a question pack (or to receive statistical data), it is essential to transmit its own answer result data, and it becomes possible to collect more answer result data.

  Next, in the portable game apparatus 10, the CPU 31 receives the problem pack list 209 transmitted from the server 50 (step S9). Subsequently, the CPU 31 selects a predetermined problem pack from the received problem pack list 209 according to its player data 113. Specifically, the problem pack 501 to be downloaded is selected by associating each file name 701 in the problem pack list 209 with the value of each item of the player data 113 of the player. For example, when the player data 113 has contents such as “region = Kyoto”, “gender = female”, and “age = 25”, the file names have names such as “A27”, “B02”, and “C25”. Select the pack for download. Conversely, even if there are file names such as “A15” and “B01”, these are not subject to download. Furthermore, file names for all respondents such as “auto ***” described above are always selected. Here, the maximum number of problem packs to be downloaded is six. Then, an acquisition request is made by notifying the server of the file names of these selected problem packs (step S10). In response to this, the server 50 transmits the data of the six problem packs 501 having the requested file name to the portable game apparatus 10 (step S11). At this time, statistical data such as the above-described chart correlation data 205 is also transmitted.

  Next, in the portable game apparatus 10, the CP 30 receives the six problem packs 501 transmitted from the server 50 (step S12). At the same time, the chart correlation data 205 is also received. As shown in FIG. 14, the player selects a desired problem pack 501 from the received six problem packs 501. After displaying the pack title 504 and the pack description 505 included in the problem pack 501 selected by the player, the CPU 31 stores them in its own RAM 37 based on the problem ID 106 corresponding to the problem included in the problem pack. A predetermined problem is read from the problem data 104 and a question is given (step S13). In response to this, the player inputs an answer. At this time, for each question, the corresponding answer information data 507 (that is, data such as the correct answer rate 405 for each question 401 included in the answer information data 206) is included in the question pack, so as shown in FIG. For each question, the prefecture with a high correct answer rate, the answer rate of the whole country, etc. can be presented along with the question. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the chart correlation data 205 is used to present the comparison result between the national data and the answerer's own data at an appropriate timing. At this time, as for the national data, the correct answer rate is considered to increase due to repetition of the data based on the latest answer, and it is not appropriate as an index indicating the national level as a comparison target. It is preferable to present the data that has been processed.

  Next, as soon as the player's answer input is completed, the CPU 31 displays a result screen. At this time, when a question that has been asked before is given, the first answer 111 is used to determine the degree of learning of the player. The effort is displayed (step S14). Specifically, if the answer state 110 of the question that was presented this time is not “unassigned”, the contents of the first answer 111 and the contents of the latest answer 112 were compared before. It is determined whether the answer is correct or vice versa. Then, the result is displayed as a learning level or an effort level. For example, as the learning level and the effort level, a correct answer rate or a correct answer number for a previously answered question or a previously mistaken question may be calculated. Further, the average correlation chart 302 is used to display a comparison between the national average and the player's results (see FIG. 10 above). Further, in the above-described aggregation process, the average correlation chart 302 may include a chart based on the above-described learning level and effort level, and a system configuration that compares the learning level and the effort level may be used.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, a problem that matches an answerer's attributes (region, age, correct answer rate, chart, etc.) can be selected based on the counting result, and the answer can be answered by the answerer. . As a result, for example, it is possible to answer a problem that the answerer having the same attribute as the answerer is not good at or a problem that the answerer is good at, and the learning efficiency of the answerer can be improved. Further, if applied to the above quiz game, it is possible to provide a timeless quiz game.

  In addition, by recording an initial answer and using it, it is possible to present the answerer's degree of learning, degree of growth, and the like to the answerer. As a result, the answerer can feel the self-growth and can prevent a decrease in motivation for learning and the like.

  In addition, by using the first answer, it is possible to perform an aggregation process and a problem selection process that excludes the influence of the answerer's experience level.

  In the first embodiment, the player data 113 is transmitted together with the answer result data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the player registration process may be performed for the server 50 as well. For example, the sex data 115, the regional data 116, and the age data 117 may be transmitted to the server as a player registration process only once when communicating with the server for the first time. At this time, a user ID that can uniquely identify the player is generated by the portable game apparatus 10 and transmitted together. And in the server 50, it manages based on the said user ID. Thereafter, when answer result data is transmitted from the portable game apparatus 10, the user ID may be transmitted together. As a result, the amount of transmission data can be reduced.

  In addition, in the counting process in step S4, when calculating, the correct answer rate and wrong answer for each problem under the extraction conditions according to the combination of region / age / sex, such as age, region + age, etc. The rate, the pass rate, and the like may be calculated in advance and temporarily stored in the storage unit 53 in association with the extraction condition. For example, the percentage of players and the like are stored in a plurality of patterns according to the combination of three conditions of region, sex, and age for the correct answer rate, the incorrect answer rate, and the pass rate, respectively. In the case of the correct answer rate, information such as “20% correct for men in the XX region” may be stored together. However, it is preferable to store only the best 3 and worst 3 information of each rate, not all information. For example, in the case of correct answer rate, the regional best 3 (for example, Osaka is 50%, Kyoto is 48%, Nara is 35%), and the correct 3 is the best 3 (for example, males in Osaka) 70%, Nara men 60%, Kyoto women 55%), and the best 3 with the correct answer by gender and age (eg, teenage women 80%, 30s women 75%, 10s men 70 %), Region, age, and gender, the best 3 (90% for men in their 30s in Osaka, 88% for men in their 20s in Tokyo, 85% for women in their 20s in Nagoya), etc. (Since the three areas of region, gender and age are combined, the total number of patterns is 7, and the best 3 and worst 3 are saved for each pattern). Then, in the subsequent problem pack generation process, the temporarily stored information may be searched and extracted. Thereby, in the problem pack generation process, for example, in a situation where the number of problem packs is large, for example, it is possible to reduce the processing load rather than performing the extraction process on all the answerer data each time.

  In the above embodiment, the problem pack includes a problem ID, and the corresponding problem is read from the problem data 104 of the portable game apparatus 10 and is given a question. However, the problem pack itself includes the problem data itself. It is good also as a structure. In this case, it is possible to add a new problem that is not stored in the portable game apparatus 10, and the learning effect can be further enhanced.

  Further, the extraction condition 602 is not limited to the extraction condition focused on the gender data 115, the regional data 116, the age data 117, and the correct answer rate chart 118 as described above. For example, the characteristics and progress of the player (the number of solved problems. There are differences such as beginners and veterans between those who solved only 100 questions and those who solved 1000 questions) may be incorporated in the extraction condition. good. For example, “Worst problem 5 that people who have a chart pattern that approximates the chart pattern of the player often makes a mistake” or “Problems that people who have solved the same number of problems as the player has solved so far often make a mistake There are conditions such as “Worst 5”. In other words, extraction only for people who are considered to be at the same level as the player, such as targeting only those who are similar in chart to the player, or only those who are close to the progress of the player You may make it use conditions. Furthermore, using the degree of progress, extraction conditions such as “problem worst 5 that veterans often make mistakes” and “problem worst 5 that beginners often make mistakes” may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the CPU 31 selects a problem pack corresponding to the player data 113 from the received problem pack list 209 in step S10. Not limited to this, the received problem pack list 209 may be temporarily displayed on the screen so that the player can select a desired problem pack. Thereby, it is possible to challenge the problem pack according to the player's wish, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the quiz game.

  Further, assuming that one portable game apparatus 10 is shared by a family, a single portable game apparatus 10 may be configured to hold a plurality of player data 113, incorrect answer information of each player, and the like. Good. In this case, for example, in the case of a family of four, the player data 113 for four people is registered in the portable game apparatus 10 in advance. And about the problem pack 501 received from the server 50, the problem pack 501 according to the characteristic of the whole family is received. Then, after receiving the question pack 501, the portable game device 10 may further perform extraction processing based on the correct answer rate chart 118 of each family and the incorrect answer information of each player. For example, as in the case of “problems where there are more mistakes than three other family members”, further problems are extracted by comparison with their own family and displayed on the screen shown in FIG. May be. By doing in this way, the comparison of the whole family with the whole country, the comparison of the individual in a family, etc. can be performed.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment described above, the problem pack selection process corresponding to the player data 113 is performed in the portable game apparatus 10. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, a problem pack selection process corresponding to the player data 113 is performed on the server side. In addition, the functional block diagram and the block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the portable game apparatus 10 and the server 50 according to the embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment (see FIGS. 2 to 4). The data structure is also the same (see FIGS. 17 to 23). However, in the present embodiment, the RAM 37 and the storage unit 53 store a program that is partially different from that of the first embodiment, and the CPU 31 and the control unit 52 execute the program, thereby the first embodiment and the first embodiment. Realizes different functions.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a communication counting process executed by the portable game apparatus 10 and the server 50 according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 22, the processing from step S1 to step S6 is the same as the processing from step S1 to step S5 described with reference to FIG. 21 in the first embodiment described above, so detailed description thereof is omitted here. .

  In order to acquire the problem pack, the portable game device 10 transmits a request for acquiring the problem pack to the server. At this time, the portable game apparatus 10 also transmits the player data 113 (step S21).

  In response to this, the server 50 selects a problem pack 501 corresponding to the transmitted player data 113 (step S22). That is, the problem pack 501 corresponding to the player attribute is selected by associating the file name of the problem pack 501 stored in the storage unit 53 with the value of each item of the player data 113. Then, only the selected problem pack 501 is transmitted to the portable game apparatus 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, since there is no need to select a problem pack in the portable game apparatus 10, it is not necessary to create a problem pack list.

  Next, the portable game device 10 receives the problem pack 501 transmitted from the server 50 (step S12). Since the processing after step S12 is the same as the processing after step S12 described in the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted. Above, the communication process concerning 2nd Embodiment is complete | finished.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the server 50 selects a problem pack according to the player characteristics. Thereby, the processing load of the portable game apparatus 10 can be reduced. Therefore, even a portable game device with relatively low performance can enjoy a quiz game according to this embodiment.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, regarding the calculation processing of the score displayed as a result of the quiz game performed in the portable game device 10, the score calculation is performed in consideration of the difficulty of the problem and the number of times of performing the test (quiz game). . For example, in the case of a quiz that asks questions that ask common sense, it is impossible to have common sense unless you can answer all the problems in a wide range of fields. Therefore, it cannot be said that it is appropriate to judge whether or not you have common sense based on the score of one test result. Also, if you get a high score or a score that is too low in one test result, your willingness to continue playing will be reduced, and if there is no change in the score due to repeated play, the problem will be answered repeatedly There is a problem that willingness to do is lost. Therefore, the third embodiment of the present invention proposes a score calculation method that can increase the willingness to play in a quiz game. In addition, we propose a score calculation method that can perform appropriate evaluations in fields that require a wide range of knowledge. In order to realize the above-described score calculation method, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the score is first gathered near the average score, and the upper limit and lower limit of the score are increased as the number of test executions is increased. The score is calculated by a calculation method that increases the width. Only the upper limit may be increased, or only the lower limit may be increased.

  In the present embodiment, a difficulty level is set for each question to be asked. There are five levels of difficulty, with difficulty “1” being the easiest and difficulty “5” being set as the most difficult problem. That is, the ROM 180 stores difficulty level identification data for each problem ID. In addition, the quiz game in the present embodiment has a game mode called “test mode”. In this mode, 10 questions are given in one test. Then, when the player answers the 10 questions, the score is displayed as a test result. In the present embodiment, the range of the test result points varies depending on the number of times of execution of the “test mode”. More specifically, while the number of executions is small, points can be given only within a range of, for example, 20 to 60 points. To change.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating the data storage area 103 according to the third embodiment. In FIG. 26, the problem data 104 includes difficulty level information 801 indicating the difficulty level of each problem 105. The data storage area 103 further stores a test mode execution count 802 and a coefficient table 803. The test mode execution count 802 is stored in the RAM 185, and the coefficient table stored in the ROM 180 is copied to the RAM 37. The test mode execution count 802 is incremented by 1 each time the test mode is executed once (that is, every time one test = 10 questions). The coefficient table 803 is a table that defines the lowest point and the highest point (that is, the width of the score) according to the number of executions.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating an example of the coefficient table 803. The coefficient table 803 includes a set of the number of executions 804, the minimum number of points 805, and the coefficient 806. The number of executions 804 indicates the number of executions of the test mode. The minimum score 805 is a score given when the accuracy rate for each difficulty level is 0%, and is set for each of the difficulty levels 1 to 5. The coefficient 806 is a coefficient that is multiplied by the correct answer rate when the correct answer rate for each difficulty level is other than 0%. This is also set for each difficulty level.

  Hereinafter, the score calculation process in this embodiment will be described. First, when the test mode is started by the player, 10 questions (an example of “multiple questions”) are selected and given (the questions may be given in the order determined in advance by the ROM 180 or randomly). May be). Here, it is assumed that two questions are included for each difficulty level (more problems with higher difficulty levels may be included as the number of executions 802 increases). Subsequently, the player inputs an answer. When all 10 questions are answered and the test is completed, 1 is added to the number of times of execution 802. Thereafter, the following processing is executed by executing the program on portable game device 10 (for example, in S1 of FIG. 24). That is, the correct answer rate is calculated for each difficulty level based on whether the answers to the 10 questions are correct and the difficulty level information of the problem. Then, for each difficulty level, the coefficient table is referred to according to the value of the number of executions 802 and the difficulty level, and the value obtained by multiplying the calculated correct answer rate by the corresponding minimum score 805 and the corresponding coefficient 806 is assigned to the difficulty level. Score. However, if the score is smaller than the read minimum score, the minimum score is used as the score of the difficulty level. Then, the scores for each difficulty level are summed, and a value obtained by further dividing the total value by 5 is set as a final score.

A specific example of score calculation is shown below. First, as a result of calculating the accuracy rate for each difficulty (for one test, that is, 10 questions answers), the accuracy rate of difficulty 1 is 50%, the accuracy rate of difficulty 2 is 100%, and the accuracy rate of difficulty 3 Is 50%, the accuracy rate of difficulty 4 is 100%, and the accuracy rate of difficulty 5 is 0%. In this case, if the number of times of implementation is the first,
Difficulty 1 50 x 0.7 = 35 points Difficulty 2 100 x 0.65 = 65 points Difficulty 3 50 x 0.55 = 27.5 points Difficulty 4 100 x 0.55 = 55 points Difficulty 5 The minimum score is applied, The score for each difficulty level is calculated as 25 points. A value obtained by dividing the total by 5 (207.5 / 5 = 41.5) is the final score.

In addition, as the range of points calculated when the number of implementations is 1, when one or more questions of each difficulty level are given,
Lowest score (10 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 25) / 5 = 18 points Highest score (70 + 65 + 55 + 55 + 50) / 5 = 59 points.
If the number of implementations is 40 times,
The lowest score (5 + 10 + 10 + 15 + 15) / 5 = 11 points, the highest score (80 + 75 + 65 + 65 + 60) / 5 = 69 points, and the range of the calculated points is wider than when the number of executions is one.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, the number of points increases as the number of test mode implementations increases. Therefore, a player who reviews frequently gets higher points as the number of implementations increases. On the other hand, a player who does not learn much becomes a lower score. In this way, by gradually increasing the upper limit and lower limit of the score and presenting the change of the highest / lowest score to the player, it is possible to maintain the player's motivation and not get bored with the game.

  Note that data indicating the execution frequency may be used instead of the number of executions. That is, the game terminal may include a timer (not shown), calculate the frequency at which the test mode is played by the timer, and change the reference location of the coefficient table according to the frequency. In addition, when the game is not played for a certain period, the execution frequency data may be decreased.

In the above-described embodiment, the lowest score is provided. However, a value obtained by multiplying the accuracy rate for each difficulty by the difficulty coefficient may be used as the score without providing the lowest score. If it does so, the score which raises according to the frequency | count of implementation or implementation frequency of only the highest score without changing the lowest score (0 score) can be calculated. In addition, the maximum number of points corresponding to the number of executions is set in the table 803 for each difficulty level, and when the value obtained by multiplying the accuracy rate for each difficulty level by the coefficient of the difficulty level is greater than the maximum score number, It is good also as a score. A value obtained by multiplying the error rate for each difficulty by the coefficient of the difficulty may be subtracted from 100 to obtain the score of the difficulty.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the difficulty level is set for each problem, and the score for each difficulty level is calculated and summed up to obtain the final score. The correct rate may be multiplied by a coefficient corresponding to the number of executions to obtain a score (in this case, it is sufficient that one coefficient is stored in the table 803 corresponding to the number of executions). ).

  The following technical idea can be grasped from the above point calculation method. When a player is asked to answer a number of questions from a number of questions and the score is presented, the evaluation of the correct answer rate (or the wrong answer rate) for that number of questions is correct. If the score is calculated and presented to the player only by evaluating the correct answer rate (or the incorrect answer rate) for some of the problems, the problem may be a problem that you are good at. If you get a high score, there is no willingness to try other problems. This problem can be solved by the following invention.

A problem storage unit for storing a plurality (n) of problem data and correct answer data;
Selecting a plurality (m; m <n) of problem data from the problem data stored in the problem storage unit, presenting the plurality of problems based on the problem data, and responding to each of the problems An answer / response unit that accepts a person's answer, compares the answer with the correct answer indicated by the correct answer data for the problem, makes a correct / incorrect determination, and calculates a correct answer rate for the plurality of problems;
A first storage unit for storing data indicating the number or frequency of the execution according to the execution by the question / answer unit;

(B) When the score calculated based on the calculated accuracy rate is higher than a predetermined maximum score, the score calculation unit sets the score to the highest score, and the number or frequency of the execution is The highest point is set higher as the value increases.
(C) Instead of the correct answer rate, an incorrect answer rate can be used. In this case, the score calculation unit calculates the score so as to calculate a low score even with the same error rate as the number of executions or frequency increases. According to this specification, it is possible to prevent such a situation that a score that is too low in the initial play and the willingness to play are reduced.
(D) When the score calculated based on the calculated accuracy rate is lower than a predetermined minimum score, the score calculation unit sets the score to the minimum score, and the number or frequency of execution is As the value increases, the highest point is set lower.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, a portable game device provided with two display devices has been described as an example of a player terminal. However, a single display device is provided and a touch panel is provided on the screen of the display device. It may be a mobile terminal. Further, the game device is not limited to a portable game device, and may be a stationary game device. In the present embodiment, the touch panel is taken as an example of a device for detecting the player's designated position with respect to the operation area. However, a so-called pointing device that allows the player to designate a position in the predetermined area may be used. By a device equipped with an imaging means for imaging a mouse that can indicate an arbitrary position, a tablet that indicates an arbitrary position on the operation surface that does not have a display screen, and a marker that is remotely arranged around the display screen or display screen A pointing device that calculates coordinates on the display screen corresponding to the indicated position on the display screen from the position of the display screen or marker in the captured image obtained by pointing the display screen direction may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a quiz game is executed on a terminal has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to a case where another game is executed on a terminal. For example, a race game program is executed on a terminal, result data (time data, etc.) obtained by executing the race game program is transmitted to a totaling server, and rankings and average times based on the transmitted time data are totaled by the totaling server. Then, the result of the aggregation processing (ranking data, average time data, etc.) may be transmitted to the terminal. In this case, in the terminal, the first result data is identified and stored as the first result data, the first result data is transmitted to the aggregation server and aggregated, and the aggregation processing result of the result of aggregation processing by the aggregation server The data is transmitted to the terminal and presented (displayed or voiced) to the user at the terminal. This makes it possible to present the ranking, average time, and the like based on the first race result to the user even in a race game or the like. In order to prevent fraud, when the race game is started, a flag that has been executed is set so that the initial data cannot be stored when the race game program is stopped and then executed again. Good. Further, in this case, when a plurality of programs are stored in the terminal or the programs can be executed in a plurality of modes, the first result data is stored for each program or for each mode and transmitted to the aggregation server. The tabulation process result data may be transmitted to the terminal so that the tabulation process is performed for each mode or each mode and the program or mode can be specified. In the terminal, the total processing result data is stored for each program or mode, and when the execution start of any one of a plurality of programs is selected, or when the execution start in any mode is selected In addition, (for example, before the race game is started after the course is selected), the aggregation result may be presented to the user based on the aggregation processing result data for the program or mode.

  An information processing system, an information processing method, an information processing server, and an answerer terminal according to the present invention can select a problem according to a totaling result and the characteristics of an answerer, and cause an answerer to answer an online test or a quiz game It is useful for such applications.
