FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating examples of game type, play style, and play tendency items in the virtual personality table, the number of times of updating, and level numerical values (for example, represented by 0 to 200).
It is a virtual personality table of the player whose ID is sn00003234, and the game types are DRIVE_PLAY (drive game), BATTLE_PLAY (battle game), GUN_PLAY (gun game), SHOOTING_PLAY (shooting game), RPG_PLAY (role playing game) Yes, each play count is 100, 0, 30, 10, 0.
There are five types of games, but other types of games can be increased.
The play styles are HASTLE_STYLE (impatience), DIGNIFIED_STYLE (calmness), and ACCURACY_TYPE (accuracy), and the number of occurrences is 50, 0, 10 respectively.
The impatience is a case where the driver has deviated from the course a predetermined number of times in the case of a drive game, and this is assumed to be one occurrence. The content that becomes impatient for each type of game is different, and if it corresponds to the content in play, the number of occurrences is one. In the case of a drive game, the degree of calmness is the case where you can pass without hitting the wall at a predetermined number of corners, and the content of the degree of calmness varies depending on the type of game, as well as the impatience. If it corresponds to the contents, it will be generated once. The accuracy is, for example, when the time for one round of the course is achieved within a predetermined error, and is the number of occurrences once. If it falls under the above situation, the number of occurrences is added.
There are three play styles, but other play style items can be increased.

Play tendency is STRENGTH_TYPE (physical strength), DURABILITY_TYPE (endurance), POWER _TYPE (attack power), DEXTERITY _TYPE (dexterity), SPEEDY_TYPE (speed), INTELLIGENCE_TYPE
(Intellect), BEAUTY_TYPE (beauty). The level value is, for example, in the range of 0 to 200, and the values are 0, 0, 3, 80, 20, 0, 0, respectively. The level value of the physical strength item indicates the strength of the physical strength, for the durability, the degree of protection can be expressed as a numerical value, for the attack power, the degree of damage is indicated, and for the dexterity, a certain operation is performed. It represents the level of skill, the speed represents the degree according to the speed, the intelligence represents the level of wisdom, and the beauty represents the degree of appearance.
Although the play tendency has seven items as virtual personality data, other play tendency items can be increased.

Next, the flow of processing in the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 and 9 (when the game housing is a drive game) will be described with reference to FIGS.
A standby screen is displayed on the image display unit 34 of the drive game chassis 4-1 (step (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 001). The game control unit 22a monitors whether or not a predetermined coin has been inserted from the coin insertion unit 35 (S002). The coin-related device 23 stores the inserted coins and sends the stored coin data to the input / output control device 24. The game control unit 22a receives coin data via the input / output control device 24 and the bus 25, and can know a predetermined coin insertion from this data.
When a predetermined coin is inserted, the communication processing unit 22c issues an instruction to the wireless communication unit 31 and becomes communicable with the portable game machine. When the player performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 11 of the portable game machine 1, the function of the ID transmission processing unit 17b is read. As a result, a screen for transmitting ID information is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 18 so that the wireless communication unit 16 can communicate with the drive game housing. If the drive game housing can communicate, the player ID is transmitted. The communication processing unit 22c receives the ID through the wireless communication unit 31, and the game control unit 22a obtains the player ID (S003, S004).

When the game control unit 22a obtains the ID, the game control unit 22a stores the ID in the RAM 29 and transmits the ID to the server device 3 through the communication unit 32 to request acquisition of game data (rank fluctuation value) (S005). At this time, the rank variation is specified within a range of ± 3. The designated range of rank variation is stored in advance in the ROM 28 as game data.
Upon receiving such a request, the server device 3 performs processing as shown in FIG. 9 (S006), and returns the calculated rank fluctuation value to the drive game chassis 4-1 via the communication unit 61 and the network.
The game control unit 22a receives the calculated rank fluctuation value (S007), and sets the game to a difficulty level suitable for the rank fluctuation value (S008). For example, if a variation value of -1 is received, when racing with a computer car, the upper and lower level of the computer car is set to a level one level lower than the standard.

A game selection screen for selecting a car, a course, and the like is displayed on the image display unit 34 of the drive game housing 4-1 (S009), and the player selects a computer car as an opponent, for example, and the player has the fastest speed. By selecting a car, further selecting a course, and performing a predetermined operation, the drive game execution unit 22b starts the drive game (S010, S011). At this time, as described above, the level of the computer car is poorly set, and traveling such as a straight line or a curve is slower than the standard or meanders left and right. Furthermore, braking such as corners is not appropriate than normal braking, and the brakes are applied at a poor timing.
When the player performs an accelerator, a steering wheel, and a brake operation, the drive game execution unit 22b causes the player's car to run according to the operation, and the computer car also runs with the above performance to compete (S012).

Here, in this drive game, the degree of the player's operation is determined, and in this drive game, for example, when the number of times the car is removed from the course occurs 4 times, the setting is made so that the one degree of effort is added. Has been.
The game control unit 22a determines whether or not the game is ended during the drive play. When the race is ended, the game is ended (S013).
During the game, for example, the player's car is off the course four times, the impatience degree becomes +1, and this value is stored in the RAM 29.
Upon completion of the game, the game control unit 22a transmits +1 to the game type item DRIVE_PLAY, +1 to the play style HASTLE_STYLE item, and +1 to the SPEEDY_TYPE item to the server device 3 through the communication processing unit 22c. (S014).

A game such as a drive game that ends in a short time is added +1 time in one play. Further, when the player selects the car with the highest speed, the value of SPEEDY_TYPE is incremented by +1.
Upon receiving the value to be added to the virtual personality data, the server device 3 adds +1 to DRIVE_PLAY in the database 65 under the control of the database control unit 68, and the number of times is updated to “101” times. . Similarly, +1 is added to HASTLE_STYLE, and the number of times is updated to “51” times. Further, +1 is added to SPEEDY_TYPE, and the level value is updated to “21” (S015).
When the update is completed, the CPU 64 transmits an update completion message to the drive game chassis 4-1 (S016).

Next, the processing in the server device in S006 will be described.
In FIG. 9, the server device 3 receives a request for calculating a rank fluctuation value within a range of ± 3 using the virtual personality table of the player with ID sn0000001234 (S0061).
The game case determination unit 64b specifies the game case based on the identifier of the requested game case. In this example, it is determined as a drive game case (S0062).
The computing unit 64c calculates the rank fluctuation value using the skill calculation method set in the server device. Since the rank fluctuation value is in the range of ± 3, use the setting of 4 steps, the skill calculation table (1)
(Number of times) (Level of familiarity) (Rank display)
~ 10 Beginner ± 0
11-50 Beginners ± 1
51-200 Intermediate level ± 2
201-Advanced level ± 3
A table that associates the number of times and the rank display for each familiarity level is created, and 100 times of DRIVE_PLAY in the virtual personality table of the player of sn00003234 is read, and this is applied to the skill calculation table of (1). The range of the variation value of the rank variation value is specified as ± 3, but since the intermediate level is ± 2, the rank variation value is set to ± 2 (S0063).

Next, the calculation unit 64c uses the number of occurrences of each item in the play style of the virtual personality table of the player with ID sn0000001234 to calculate the score of the drive game (the sum of the number of occurrences of each item) by a predetermined calculation method. Obtain (S0064). The style uses the main style and sub-style settings corresponding to the drive game. Uses coefficients for the main style and sub-style, and calculates a score for the style. Which of HASTLE_STYLE (impatience), DIGNIFIED _STYLE (calmness), and ACCURACY_TYPE (accuracy) is used as the main style and sub-style, and whether it is good or bad is set in the server device. ing.
The main style is a game style 100% use mainly used in the game, and the sub style is a game style 10% use which is considered to be related. The style set for the drive game is
Main style
HASTLE_STYLE adverse effect
DIGNIFIED _STYLE Good impact
Sub style
ACCURACY_TYPE Good effect. When the score is calculated

Number of impacts Percentage used (score)
HASTLE_STYLE -50 x 100% = -50
DIGNIFIED _STYLE 0 x 100% = +0
ACCURACY_TYPE 10 x 10% = +1
Total score -49
Thus, the total score is −49.

Next, the calculation unit 64c converts the score into a familiarity level, sets this as the final rank fluctuation value, and the calculation result transmission unit 64d returns this value to the drive housing (S0065).
Since the drive game play count is 100 times, ± 100 is set as the maximum value. Since the rank variation value is ± 2, the score is associated with the familiarity as follows.

Score -100 -60 -20 +20 +60 +100
Familiarity -2 -1 0 +1 +2
If the score -49 is applied to this, the score -49 becomes the familiarity level -1, and this is returned to the drive game casing 4-1 as the final fluctuation value -1.

The communication processing unit 42d receives the ID through the wireless communication unit 51, and the game control unit 42a obtains the player's ID (S203, S204).

When the game control unit 42a obtains the ID, the game control unit 42a stores the ID in the RAM 49 and transmits the ID to the server device 3 through the communication unit 52. The game control unit 42a has physical strength, durability, attack power, dexterity, speed, and intelligence indicating a play tendency. A bonus point acquisition for the item is requested (S205). At this time, the bonus point range is 0 to 3 and the total value is specified as 3. This designation is preset in the RPG game housing.
Upon receiving such a request, the server device 3 performs the process shown in FIG. 10 (S206), and returns the calculated bonus points of the playing tendency to the RPG game housing 4-2 via the communication unit 61 and the network.
The game control unit 42a receives the calculated bonus points (S207), and adds bonus points to the dexterity indicating the play tendency for the character to be created (S208).

A screen for selecting a character to be created is displayed on the image display unit 54 of the RPG game housing 4-2 (S209). When the player selects, for example, a wizard (S210), the character creating unit 42b needs a wizard. Set items and add bonus points such as dexterity. Furthermore, other necessary items for playing are set. The player character motion execution unit 42c starts RP G according to an operation by the player by performing a predetermined operation (S211).
When the player operates the cross key or each button of the operation unit, the character action execution unit 42c performs an action according to the operation of the character and advances the RPG (S212).

The game control unit 42a determines whether or not the game has ended during the RPG play, and ends the game when a predetermined purpose is achieved (S213).
During the RPG play of S212, when the parameter change timing is reached, for example, when one hour has elapsed since the play or when the character level has increased by 10 levels, parameter change data (for example, level values with increased intelligence, The level value of increased dexterity) is transmitted to the server device. When created as a wizard, the parameters mainly increase in intelligence and dexterity. The determination criteria for the RPG game case are set for what kind of behavior and how much intelligence and dexterity are increased.
During the game or at the end of the game, the game control unit 42a transmits, for example, DEXTERITY_TYPE + 1, INTELLIGENCE_TYPE + 1 to the server device 3 through the communication processing unit 42d (S214).

  When the server apparatus 3 receives the value to be added to the virtual personality data, the database control unit 68 adds +1 to RPG_PLAY in the database 65, and the number of times is updated to “1”. Similarly, +1 is added to DEXTERITY_TYPE, and the number of times is updated to “81” times. Further, +1 is added to INTELLIGENCE_TYPE, and the value becomes “1” (S215). When the update is completed, the CPU 64 transmits an update completion message to the RPG game chassis 4-2 (S216).

Next, the processing in the server device in S206 will be described.
In FIG. 10, the server device 3 uses the virtual personality table of the player with ID sn0000001234, and bonus points for physical strength, durability, attack power, dexterity, speed, and intelligence are each in the range of 0 to 3, and the total value is 3. Is received (S2061).
The game case determination unit 64b specifies the game case based on the identifier of the requested game case. In this example, it is determined as an RPG game case (S2062).
The computing unit 64c calculates a score using the level value and coefficient of each item (parameter) of the play tendency (S2063). Among the play tendency items, obtain the numerical value of the largest item. In the example of the virtual personality table of FIG. 8, the dexterity item of the play tendency is the maximum value, which is 80. In RPG, since the required items are play tendency items (physical strength, endurance, etc.), calculation is made using the play tendency items.
The score calculation of the level value of each item of the play tendency is performed as follows.
Are determined in a predetermined coefficient to item their respective play propensity score for each item by the product of the level value of the coefficients and each item is calculated.

(Score calculation)
The coefficient of each item of the play tendency is as follows.
(Item) (Coefficient)
Physical strength STRENGTH_TYPE 100%
Durability DURABILITY_TYPE 100%
Attack power POWER _TYPE 100%
Dexterity DEXTERITY _TYPE 100%
Speed SPEEDY_TYPE 100%
INTELLIGENCE_TYPE 100%
In this example, the coefficient is determined as described above, but the coefficient value can be changed later. For example, when the item to be simply changed is changed or the item of the play tendency is increased. The content of the change is 80%, 50%, etc.
The score of each item of the play tendency is calculated as follows.
(Item) (Level value) (Coefficient) (Score)
Health STRENGTH_TYPE 0 × 100% = 0
Durability DURABILITY_TYPE 0 × 100% = 0
Attack power POWER _TYPE 3 × 100% = 3
Dexterity DEXTERITY _TYPE 80 × 100% = 80
Speed SPEEDY_TYPE 21 x 100% = 21
Intelligence INTELLIGENCE_TYPE 0 × 100% = 0

(Bonus point calculation)
Next, the calculation unit 64c performs a calculation to convert the calculated score into a bonus point (S2064). Among the above scores, since the score of dexterity is 80, which is the maximum value, this is used as a scale for converting into bonus points. Bonus points are required in the range of 0 to 3 and are in 4 stages, so the scale is also divided into 4 equal parts.
The relationship is shown below.

Scale 0 20 40 60 80
Bonus points | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |

(Score of play tendency items)
Health 0
Durability 0
Attack power 3
Degree 80
Speed 21
Intelligence 0
Based on the above, the bonus points are 0 for health, 0 for durability, 0 for attack, 3 for dexterity, 1 for speed, and 0 for intelligence.

(Bonus point adjustment)
After converting into bonus points in this way, the bonus points are adjusted (S2065). The calculation unit 64c adds bonus points and calculates the total as “4”. Since the bonus point “4” is larger than the designated range “3”, it is adjusted. The calculation unit 64c divides the designated value “3” by the total value “4” to obtain a coefficient, and takes the product of the coefficient and the bonus point.
This is shown in the table below.

(Item) (Bonus point) (Coefficient) (Bonus point adjustment value)
Health 0 × 3/4 = 0
Durability 0 × 3/4 = 0
Attack power 0 × 3/4 = 0
Dexterity 3 × 3/4 = 9/4
Speed 1 × 3/4 = 3/4
Intelligence 0 × 3/4 = 0
In the above table, less than 1 is rounded up to 1, and 1 or more is rounded down to an integer. When the sum is less than the specified total value, the fractional part is added one by one from the largest.
The physical strength thus determined is 0, the durability is 0, the attack power is 0, the dexterity is 2, the speed is 1, and the intelligence is 0. Of each item of the play tendency, bonus points of dexterity 2 and speed 1 are returned to the requested RGB game case 4-2.

  When you return dexterity 2 and speed 1 as described above, when you create a character such as a wizard in a new game in the RPG game case, a character that takes into account bonus points that are a little more dexterous and agile than the standard is created Is done.

  In addition to the drive game case and the RPG game case, the game case is configured in the same manner as the game case block diagram of FIGS. 3 and 4 in the case of a gun game case, shooting game case, and battle game case. Is done. However, the structure of the operation unit, each game program stored in the ROM, and the CPU function realized by reading the game program are adapted to the game contents. The flow of processing when a game is played in the gun game housing, shooting game housing, and battle game housing is almost the same as the processing shown in the drive game housing in FIG. 6 and the RPG game housing in FIG. It becomes. The server device process uses the virtual personality table stored in each database, but which of the game type item, play style item, and play tendency item is used depends on the type of game. A variation value and bonus points given by a calculation using the virtual personality table are calculated by performing processing specific to the game type according to the item, and the calculated value is returned to various game cases.

  When a variation value or bonus point is returned to the gun game housing, for example, the dexterity of gun judgment is increased, which is reflected so that the shooting skill is improved. When returned to the shooting game case, for example, the difficulty level is increased, and the number of enemies that appear is increased or the time that appears next is reduced. Further, when the response is made to the battle game case, it is reflected, for example, that the attack power of the player warrior increases or the defense power increases.

In the above embodiment, the example in which the portable game machine and each game case communicate wirelessly has been described. However, the portable game machine is connected by a cable, or the portable game machine is connected to the mounting portion of the game case with the terminal of the portable game machine. It is also possible to make a wired connection by mounting.
Further, the server device is requested for bonus points for rank variation values and play tendency items from the game case, but the requested content varies depending on the game type of the game case.
Further, although the game case has been described as an example of a business use drive game case or RPG game case installed in a game center, it may be a home game machine or a personal computer. In such a case, the home game machine and the personal computer can communicate with the portable game machine in a wired or wireless manner, and are connected to the server device via the network.
