It is a flowchart explaining the process which the communication system of FIG. 1 performs. It is a flowchart explaining the process which the communication system of FIG. 1 performs.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a terminal device 11 used by each of a plurality of users, and a server device 12 that provides a game to the terminal device 11. The terminal device 11 and the server device 12 can communicate with each other via a wired or wireless network 13. The terminal device 11 and the server device 12 are information processing devices such as a mobile phone or a computer, for example.

  First, an outline of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment is a game in which a game is played against a predetermined opponent using individual game media owned by the user. In the present embodiment, the game medium is described as a card in the game, but may be any medium in the game such as a character, weapon, armor, or item in the game. The game according to the present embodiment has two battle methods, a normal battle and a special battle.

  The normal battle is a battle mode in which a reward such as game media or in-game currency can be obtained by playing against a predetermined opponent or capturing a mission (quest) in the game.

  The special battle is a battle performed using, for example, a plurality of game media acquired in the normal battle, and includes two battles of the first battle and the second battle. Special battles are implemented as limited-time events, for example.

  The first battle is a battle performed between users (for example, the first user and the second user) in real time, for example. Hereinafter, an outline of the first battle according to the present embodiment will be described. First, a predetermined value point (battle point) is given to each user. The user selects a command to be executed from a plurality of commands (actions). The selected command is executed by consuming a predetermined battle point associated with the command. For example, the executed command causes damage to the opponent user. The user who gave more damage wins at the time when a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the battle. Hereinafter, the process of performing the first battle described above is referred to as a first process. Each user can execute a normal battle in parallel, for example, even while the first battle is ongoing. The user can acquire an additional battle point as a reward, for example, by performing a normal battle.

  The second battle is a battle between a plurality of users and an opponent who is common to the plurality of users. The second battle is performed after the first battle has been decided. The common opponent is, for example, a character (NPC: Non-Player Character) that is automatically operated by the server device 12. In the second battle, a plurality of users including users (first user and second user) who have performed the first battle are determined as users (participating users) who can participate in the second battle.

  An outline of the second battle according to the present embodiment will be described. The participating user participates in the second battle by, for example, consuming points (attack points) of a predetermined value. The user selects a command to be executed from a plurality of commands (actions) such as attack, skill, and magic. By executing the selected command, the opponent is damaged. The opponent acts automatically, for example, to damage the participating users. Participating users and opponents damage each other and decrease a predetermined parameter of the opponent, for example, a parameter (HP) indicating physical strength.

  For example, when a predetermined time elapses after the opponent is determined, if the HP of the opponent is reduced to zero, that is, if the opponent loses, the participating user succeeds in subjugating the opponent. Preferably, when the opponent is successfully subjugated, a reward such as a game medium or in-game currency is given to the participating user. The game media acquired by the user in the special battle may be usable in the normal battle as well as the special battle. On the other hand, if the HP of the opponent is greater than zero at the time when the predetermined time has elapsed, the participating user fails to subjugate the opponent.

  Further, when the HP of each participating user decreases to zero, the participating user is defeated. The defeated participating user can recover the HP by, for example, consumption of a predetermined item or attack point and return to the battle with the opponent until a predetermined time elapses after the opponent appears. In addition, the defeated participating user can request other users associated with the predetermined association to participate in the second battle. Here, the predetermined association is, for example, friend registration via a friend application made between users, registration of a group composed of a plurality of users in order to play against an enemy, or the like. Hereinafter, the process of performing the second battle described above is referred to as a second process. Each user can execute a normal battle in parallel, for example, even while the second battle is ongoing. The user can acquire additional attack points as a reward, for example, by performing a normal battle.

  Next, each component of the communication system 10 will be described. The terminal device 11 includes a terminal communication unit 14, a display unit 15, and a terminal control unit 16.

  The terminal communication unit 14 transmits / receives information to / from the server device 12.

  The display unit 15 is configured using an organic EL display, for example, and can display various game screens. Details of the various game screens will be described later. The display unit 15 is configured as a touch panel, for example, and functions as an interface that accepts user input by a user operation.

  The terminal control unit 16 controls the operation of the entire terminal device 11. For example, when the display unit 15 receives a user input requesting the start of the first battle, the terminal control unit 16 notifies the server device 12 of the request. In addition, the terminal control unit 16 causes the display unit 15 to display or update the game screen in response to a game screen display instruction or update instruction received from the server device 12.

  In addition, the terminal control unit 16 transmits the selected command to the server device 12 in accordance with a user input received on a first battle screen or a second battle screen described later. Moreover, the terminal control part 16 instruct | indicates the notification with respect to the terminal device 11 of the selected user to the server apparatus 12 according to the user input received in the relief request screen mentioned later.

  Preferably, the terminal control unit 16 instructs the server device 12 to notify the selected user in response to a user input received on an association application screen described later.

  The server device 12 includes a server communication unit 17, a storage unit 18, a user determination unit 19, a user registration unit 20, a reward granting unit 21, a first processing unit 22, a second processing unit 23, and server control. Part 24.

  The server communication unit 17 transmits and receives information to and from the terminal device 11.

  The storage unit 18 stores user information 25. The user information 25 is information unique to each user of the communication system 10 and includes various information used for the progress of the game. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the user information 25 includes owned card information, deck information, level information, friend user information, and battled user information in association with a user ID that is a user identifier. Including, but any other information may be included.

  Owned card information is information on all cards owned by the user. Each card is associated with a predetermined parameter indicating the strength of the single card. The card according to the present embodiment includes five parameters “HP”, “AT”, “DF”, “attack”, “skill”, and “magic”. “HP”, “AT”, and “DF” are parameters indicating the physical strength, attack strength, and defense strength of the card, respectively. “Attack”, “skill”, and “magic” are parameters defined in the contents of commands that can be selected by the user in the first battle or the second battle.

  The deck information is information related to a plurality of cards (deck) selected automatically or by the user among all the cards owned by each user. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the deck information includes seven pieces of information of “deck list”, “total HP”, “total AT”, “total DF”, “attack”, “skill”, and “magic”. However, it is not limited to these.

  The “deck list” is information indicating cards included in the deck. The “deck list” includes, for example, an identifier that can identify each card included in the deck. “Total HP”, “Total AT”, and “Total DF” are total values for each parameter (HP, AT, DF) of the cards included in the deck. “Attack”, “skill”, and “magic” are parameters of “attack”, “skill”, and “magic” associated with at least some of the cards included in the deck. The parameters of “total HP”, “total AT”, “total DF”, “attack”, “skill”, and “magic” included in the deck information are, for example, in the first battle and / or the second battle, This is used to calculate the amount of damage or physical strength recovered against the opponent.

  The level information indicates the strength of the user in the game. For example, the higher the level value, the stronger the user. The level information may be an arbitrary index indicating the strength of the user, for example, the type or number of titles (ranks) acquired by the user as the game progresses.

  The friend user information is information indicating another user (friend user) associated with the user corresponding to the user ID. For example, the friend user information shown in FIG. 2 indicates that the user with the user ID “user001” is associated with the users with the user IDs “user003” and “user004”, respectively. On the other hand, the friend user information indicates that the user with the user ID “user002” is not associated with any user. The user and the friend user can or easily exchange in the communication system 10 such as sending and receiving messages.

  The battle-completed user information is information indicating the user IDs of other users who have played the first battle in the past. For example, the matched user information shown in FIG. 2 indicates that the user with the user ID “user001” has played the first match with the user with the user ID “user010” in the past. On the other hand, the battled user information indicates that each user with the user IDs “user002” to “user004” has not played a first battle in the past.

  When the user determination unit 19 illustrated in FIG. 1 acquires a notification of a request for starting a first battle from a plurality of terminal devices 11, the user determination unit 19 performs a first battle from a combination of users of the terminal devices 11 that have performed the notification. A first user and a second user are determined. Preferably, the user determination unit 19 preferentially determines the first user and the second user from a combination of users that satisfy a predetermined condition. For example, the user determination unit 19 determines the first user and the second user from a combination of users excluding a combination of users who are associated with each other. Further, for example, the user determination unit 19 determines the first user and the second user from the combination of users whose level information substantially matches. For example, when the level difference of the user is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, it is determined that the level information is substantially the same. In addition, for example, the user determination unit 19 determines the first user and the second user from the combination of users excluding the combination of users who have played the first battle in the past based on the battled user information included in the user information 25. Determine the user. The user determination unit 19 may use a combination of the above conditions. The predetermined condition is not limited to the specific example described above, and may be arbitrarily determined.

  Here, for example, when there is only one terminal device 11 that has notified the request to start the first battle, or when there is no set of users that satisfy a predetermined condition, the first user and the first user There may be a case where two users cannot be determined. In such a case, the user determination unit 19 may determine the first user and the second user including virtual users on the game, for example. The virtual user is generated and controlled by the server control unit 24, for example. Or the user determination part 19 may make the terminal device 11 which performed the notification of the request | requirement which starts a 1st battle | competition start a predetermined 3rd battle | competition. The third battle is a battle between the user and the NPC, for example.

  Moreover, when the 1st user loses in the 2nd battle | competition, the user determination part 19 will determine one or more 3rd users from several users. Suitably, the user determination part 19 determines the user who satisfy | fills predetermined conditions from a some user as a 3rd user preferentially, for example. For example, the user determination unit 19 determines a user other than a user who is associated with the second user as a third user. Further, for example, the user determining unit 19 determines a user who is associated with the first user as a third user. The user determination unit 19 may use a combination of the above conditions. The predetermined condition is not limited to the specific example described above, and may be arbitrarily determined.

  The user registration unit 20 transmits a display instruction for an association application screen described later to at least one of the terminal device 11 of the first user and the terminal device 11 of the second user. Suitably, the user registration part 20 transmits the display instruction | indication of an association application screen after completion | finish of a 2nd process. When the user registration unit 20 obtains an instruction to notify a predetermined association application from at least one of the terminal device 11 of the first user and the terminal device 11 of the second user, the user registration unit 20 sends the application to the terminal device of the other user. 11 is notified. When the user registration unit 20 obtains a response (agreement) to the application from the terminal device 11 of the other user, the user registration unit 20 associates the first user and the second user. The user registration unit 20 updates the friend user information of the first user and the second user included in the user information 25 stored in the storage unit 18 by using the user ID of the associated user. The association may be a one-way association or a two-way association.

  Similarly, for example, after the end of the second process, the user registration unit 20 transmits an instruction to display the association application screen to at least one of the terminal device 11 of the second user and the terminal device 11 of the third user. When the user registration unit 20 obtains an instruction to notify a predetermined association application from at least one of the terminal device 11 of the second user and the terminal device 11 of the third user, the user registration unit 20 sends the application to the terminal device of the other user. 11 is notified. When the user registration unit 20 obtains a response (agreement) to the application from the terminal device 11 of the other user, the user registration unit 20 associates the second user and the third user. The user registration unit 20 updates the friend user information of the first user and the second user included in the user information 25 stored in the storage unit 18 by using the user ID of the associated user.

  The reward granting unit 21 grants rewards such as game media or in-game currency to a predetermined user. For example, when winning or losing is determined in the first battle, the reward granting unit 21 grants a reward to the user who has won the first battle, or to both the winning user and the defeated user. The reward granting unit 21 may determine the contents of the reward given to each user based on, for example, the level information of the first user and the second user, or the winning / losing result.

  In addition, when the participating user succeeds in subjugating the opponent in the second battle, the reward granting unit 21 grants a reward to each user who participated in the second battle. The reward giving unit 21 may give a reward to each user who participates in the second battle even if the participating user fails to subjugate the opponent. The reward granting unit 21 may determine the content of the reward to be given to each user according to, for example, the level of success of each user, the strength of the opponent, or the success or failure of defeat. The user's activity is determined to be high in activity, for example, when the integrated value of damage given to the opponent by the user is large, or when the user performs an attack that has become a decisive factor to subjugate the opponent. . For example, the higher the level of activity, the stronger the opponent, or the more successful the defeat, the more game media or the more valuable game media are determined as rewards.

  The 1st process part 22 will perform a 1st process, if the server control part 24 each transmits the display instruction | indication of the 1st battle | competition screen mentioned later to the terminal device 11 of each user. The first process includes, for example, a process based on a command acquired from the terminal apparatus 11 of the first user or the terminal apparatus 11 of the second user, and a display result / update instruction for each user based on the process result and the process result. Processing to be transmitted to the terminal device 11. The processing based on the command is, for example, calculation of damage to the opponent by the command and an integrated value of the damage, or calculation of a battle point that is reduced by execution of the command.

  And the 1st processing part 22 ends the 1st processing, for example, when predetermined time passes, and determines the victory or defeat of the 1st battle. For example, the server control unit 24 determines that the user who has given more damage to the opponent at the elapse of a predetermined time, that is, the user who has a large integrated value of the damage given to the opponent, wins.

  The second processing unit 23 performs a second process when the server control unit 24 transmits an instruction to display a second battle screen, which will be described later, to the terminal device 11 of each participating user. The second process includes, for example, a process based on a command acquired from each participating user's terminal device 11 and a process of transmitting a processing result and a display screen display / update instruction based on the processing result to the terminal device 11 of each participating user. ,including. Processing based on the command is, for example, calculation of damage given to the opponent by the command, calculation of damage given to the participating user by the action of the opponent, detection of the defeat of the participating user or the opponent, or attack points that are reduced by executing the command Such as calculation.

  Here, if the second processing unit 23 detects the defeat of the first user (for example, the first user's HP is zero) during the second process, the second processing unit 23 will be described later in the terminal device 11 of the first user. Send instructions to display the rescue request screen. When the server control unit 24 obtains an instruction for notifying the third user of a request for participation in the second battle from the terminal device 11 of the first user, the server control unit 24 notifies the third user of the request. When the second processing unit 23 acquires a response to the request from the terminal device 11 of the third user, the second processing unit 23 adds the third user to the participating user.

  Then, for example, when the defeat of the opponent is detected before the predetermined time has elapsed, the second processing unit 23 ends the second process and determines that the participating user has succeeded in subjugating the opponent. On the other hand, if the HP of the opponent is greater than zero at the elapse of the predetermined time, the second processing unit 23 ends the second process and determines that the participating user has failed to subjugate the opponent.

  The server control unit 24 controls the operation of the entire server device 12. Moreover, the server control part 24 performs the process which performs a normal battle | competition.

  Moreover, when the user determination part 19 determines a 1st user and a 2nd user, the server control part 24 will each transmit the display instruction | indication of the 1st battle | competition screen mentioned later to the terminal device 11 of each user.

  Further, the server control unit 24 determines a plurality of participating users including the first user and the second user who have performed the first battle. The server control unit 24 may determine a plurality of participating users further including arbitrary users in addition to the first user and the second user. The server control unit 24 determines an opponent who is common to the participating users. The opponent is an NPC, for example, and acts under the control of the server control unit 24. The strength of the opponent may be determined based on, for example, the level information of the participating users or the number of times the opponent has been defeated in the past. For example, the higher the level information value or the greater the number of subjugations, the stronger the opponent. Making the opponent strong means, for example, setting a parameter (for example, HP, AT, DF, etc.) of the opponent to a higher value. The server control unit 24 transmits, for example, an instruction to display an opponent display screen, which will be described later, to the terminal device 11 of the participating user after determining the victory or defeat of the first battle, for example. For example, after transmitting the display instruction of the opponent display screen, the server control unit 24 transmits a display instruction of the second battle screen described later to the terminal device 11 of each participating user.

  Next, various game screens displayed on the display unit 15 of the terminal device 11 will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a first battle screen 26 displayed on the terminal device 11 of the first user. The first battle screen 26 is a screen for conducting a battle (first battle) between the first user and the second user. The first battle screen 26 shown in FIG. 3 includes a remaining time display area 27, physical strength indicators 28-1, 28-2, damage display areas 29-1, 29-2, and user icons 30-1, 30-. 2, log information display areas 31-1, 31-2, pull-down menus 32-1, 32-2, 32-3, an attack button 33, a skill button 34, and a magic button 35. The physical strength indicator 28-1, the damage display area 29-1, the user icon 30-1, and the log information display area 31-1 are provided corresponding to the first user. The physical strength indicator 28-2, the damage display area 29-2, the user icon 30-2, and the log information display area 31-2 are provided corresponding to the second user.

  The remaining time display area 27 is an area for displaying the remaining time from the start of the first battle until a predetermined time elapses. When the remaining time becomes zero, the winning or losing of the first battle is determined.

  The physical strength indicators 28-1 and 28-2 are indicators that indicate the physical strength of the corresponding user. As the value of physical strength, for example, the value of “total HP” of deck information included in the user information 25 shown in FIG. 2 is used. Health is reduced according to the amount of damage given by the opponent. When the health is zero, the amount of damage dealt by the opponent increases. The physical strength can be recovered by a specific command such as a skill.

  The damage display areas 29-1 and 29-2 are areas for displaying the integrated value of damage given to the opponent by the corresponding user. A user with a large integrated value of damage given to the opponent when the remaining time displayed in the remaining time display area 27 becomes zero wins the first battle.

  The user icons 30-1 and 30-2 are images corresponding to the first user and the second user, respectively. For example, the user icons 30-1 and 30-2 are images of the user himself or a character operated by the user. The user icons 30-1 and 30-2 are set automatically or by the user.

  The log information display areas 31-1 and 31-2 are areas for displaying a combination of information indicating a command executed by a corresponding user and a processing result of the command as a history. For example, when the user damages the opponent by the “attack” command, a combination of information indicating the “attack” command and the amount of damage given to the opponent is added as a history.

  Pull-down menus 32-1, 32-2, and 32-3 are provided corresponding to the attack button 33, the skill button 34, and the magic button 35, respectively. The user selects the content of the corresponding command from, for example, pull-down menus 32-1, 32-2, and 32-3 provided corresponding to each command. The contents of each command are the same as the “attack”, “skill”, and “magic” of the deck information included in the user information 25, respectively. The content of the command is used to determine the effect of the command, such as calculating the amount of damage or physical strength recovered against the opponent.

  The attack button 33, the skill button 34, and the magic button 35 are input interfaces that accept user operations for selecting commands. The attack button 33, the skill button 34, and the magic button 35 correspond to three commands of attack, skill, and magic, respectively. When the user taps the attack button 33, the skill button 34, or the magic button 35, the selected command and the content of the command are transmitted to the server device 12. In the second battle, the user determines the command and the content of the command, but may be configured to determine only the command.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the opponent display screen 36. The opponent display screen 36 is a screen for explaining to the user that the user who has played the first battle, that is, the first user and the second user battle with the common opponent. The opponent display screen 36 is displayed, for example, after the first match is won or lost and before the second match is started. The opponent display screen 36 shown in FIG. 4 includes user icons 37-1 and 37-2, an opponent icon 38, and an explanation display area 39.

  The user icons 37-1 and 37-2 are images that are the same as the user icons 30-1 and 30-2 shown in FIG. 3, for example, and correspond to the first user and the second user, respectively. The opponent icon 38 is an image corresponding to the opponent. For example, the opponent icon 38 is an image of an enemy character or the like. The user icons 37-1 and 37-2 and the opponent icon 38 may produce the start of the second battle with the common opponent by the first user and the second user, for example, by animation.
