[Action]

(1) In the game device according to claims 1 and 2, as the number of times the game is played increases, the input information of the player is accumulated, and as a result, the statistical data changes from moment to moment. Therefore, the essential elements of the game, such as the determination of the game result based on the statistical data and the progress of the game, also change under the influence of it, and even in a game device equipped with the same software, unknown parts depending on the statistics are unknown. Keeping things fresh always keeps players curious.

Further, depending on the installation location of the game machine and the customer base, it is possible to expect individualization of the game machine such that the game result is different for each game machine reflecting the locality and sociality.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a game device having an attractiveness that has never been obtained.

(2) In the game device according to the second aspect, the game is played by using the data (initial data) previously obtained by the questionnaire or the like. Therefore, for example, it is possible to play a fresh game based on real and interesting data that reflects the real world, the social situation, and the like.

(3) The game device according to claims 3, 4 and 5 is
Based on the player's answer to the question, the attribute of the player is determined based on the statistical data, and the result is acquired and output based on the determination.

Here, the “result” obtained based on the attribute determination is, in other words, “information in which the attribute information has significance”.

That is, when it is determined which category on the statistical data the element input by the player belongs to, the result output means outputs information indicating what the determination has from the game machine, This information will be presented to the player.

The "results" are, for example, information about self-attributes such as "you are a majority", results of games (play) such as "prediction information from the viewpoint of statistics", or "handy game "The result of setting the game standard", which is necessary for the progress of the game, such as "Start".

Therefore, the player can enjoy the game while confirming himself / herself while feeling the position of himself / herself and the presence of friends in the real world.

In other words, the present game device is not just a competition for knowledge, but an essential desire of modern people who wants to confirm their position in society in some way, and is not specified. It has an inherent appeal that can effectively appeal to a large number of customers.

Further, by adding the data of one vote cast by the player (self's answer) to the statistical data of the game device, the result determination standard of the game device is changed, and so on. Since it has the elements, it is possible to give the customer (player) a feeling of “I want to play it any number of times” even in the same game, and therefore, the turnover rate of the game device can be increased.

(4) According to the game device of claim 4, it is judged from the statistical data whether the self belongs to the majority or the minority, and based on the judgment, "general personality", Player characteristics such as "frustration with the world" can be output as a game result.

You can continue playing the game in a fun way.

(5) In the game device according to the fifth aspect, the game result is output in a "divination" format. For example, a player who selects only the choices answered by many people who have failed romance will be presented with a fortune-telling result of “I will fail in romance” based on the statistical data.
In other words, if "fortune telling" is considered to be based only on "statistics", a fortune telling game can be played, and the range of game contents is expanded.

(6) In the game devices according to claims 6 to 9, the score and the deduction of the player for the question change depending on the ratio of the number of correct answers and the number of incorrect answers determined from the result of the question in advance.

That is, since the score changes based on the statistical data, it is possible to expect a thrilling game development in which the destination cannot be read.

Further, the results of correct and incorrect answers of the player with respect to one question are added to the number of correct answerers or incorrect answerers of the question up to now and the total number. Therefore, the number, the correct answer rate, and the score are changed every time the game is played, so that it is possible to prevent the rut from becoming rut and always play a fresh game.

(7) In the game device according to claim 7, the attributes of the player are investigated in advance, and a question that allows the player to cast one vote is selected and presented. Therefore,
The player can always play the game with interest.

(8) Further, in the game apparatus according to the eighth aspect, the play mode can be selected, and the game can be played according to the number of players.

(9) In the game device according to claim 9,
The final game result can be judged by totaling the scores. Therefore, for example, in the case of a plurality of players, the most excellent player can be selected and various game results can be determined according to the play mode.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the basic configuration of the game device of the present invention.

The game device 100 shown in the drawing is input means 100 for inputting play elements (selection from choices, numerical values, skill, etc.) for a player (P).
0 and output means for game results and questions (display etc.)
1100, a storage unit 1300 for storing (storing) statistical data, a statistical data updating unit 1200 for updating the statistical data by adding a play element input from the input unit 1000, and an input unit 1000. The game control means 1400 controls the game content (for example, the progress of the game) and the game result while referring to the statistical data accumulated in the accumulating means 1300 based on the play element.

For example, when an answer to a question (this is a play factor) is input, the game control means 1400 compares the answer with the statistical data accumulated in the accumulating means 1300, and judges the result ( For example, a determination as to how the player is statistically positioned, a score calculated using statistics, and the like) are acquired, and the output means 110 is acquired.
Present to player (P) through 0.

Upon completion of the presentation, the statistical data updating means 1200 reads the current statistical data accumulated in the accumulating means 1300, updates the data by adding the play element input this time, and accumulates again. Store in the means. In this way, the statistical data is rewritten for each play.

The main characteristics of this game device 100 are that a game method using "statistical data" is introduced into the game device, and that "statistical data" itself, which is a constituent element of the game, is updated each time the game is played. That is, the data changes every moment as the number of plays increases.

As a result, the present game device 100 has not only the game characteristics as an amusement but also the reality based on the actual statistical data such as society, era, and area. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game. At the same time, as a simple play, the curiosity can be satisfied with respect to various phenomena in the real world and matters of interest to oneself, which are outside the game.

Further, since the statistical data is updated according to the play result, even if the same software is installed, the game elements are not always changed and fixed, so that a fresh game can always be provided. . This helps improve the ability to attract customers and prolong the life cycle of the game device.

Also, depending on what kind of statistical data is prepared in advance, it is possible to provide various games without significantly changing the essence of software.

Further, the statistical data can be used not only for determining the attributes of the player but also for fortune telling in the future based on past statistics.
There is also an advantage that it is easy to create popular games that are popular with young people today.

Furthermore, since a real answer result reflecting the locality and sociality can be obtained, there is a possibility that each game device has its own individuality depending on the place where the game device is installed. There is also an increase in the fun of the game in this respect.

Specific examples will be described below.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a main configuration of a first embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 is input means, reference numeral 30 is result output means (comprising result acquisition means 32 and output means 34), reference numeral 40 is statistical data update means, and reference numeral 50 is storage means. Represent each.

The statistical data stored in the accumulating means 50 is, for example, the number of persons (H, J) who chose each option with respect to the total number (G) of respondents to the question of the two-choice format questionnaire. It is data of ratio (that is, H / G, J / G).

An example of the appearance of the game device of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
It is shown in (A). As shown in FIG. 3 (A),
The game device main body 110 includes an operation unit 120, a game screen 130, and a score / result display unit 131. The operation unit 120 has a play mode selection button 121 and an answer button as shown in FIG. 122 and. These buttons correspond to the input means 10 in FIG.

The configuration shown in FIG. 2 can be actually realized by the system configuration shown in FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 200 is an input interface such as a keyboard, reference numeral 210 is a CPU which controls the game as a whole, and reference numeral 220 is a ROM which stores a game program and various data. Yes, reference numeral 230 is R used for various data processing

Further, reference numeral 240 is an output interface having a display control function and a sound control function.
50 is a display means such as a CRT, and reference numeral 260 is a speaker for outputting voice and the like.

Next, the operation of the game apparatus of this embodiment shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When an initial condition such as a play mode is set and the game is started, for example, a question in a binary format (a question in which one of options A and B is forcibly selected) Is presented (step 300).

When the player responds to this, the attribute determination means 20 determines whether the responded option is "A" or "B" (step 310). The number and proportion of people selected for (that is, the contents of statistical data G, H / G, J / in FIG. 2)
G) is presented to the player (P) through the output means 34 (step 330).

Subsequently, the attribute judging means 20 judges the attribute of the player (for example, minority or majority) from the statistics, and presents the judgment result to the player (P) through the output means 34 (step 340). For example, the result is displayed such as "You are a minority" or "You are the only one who chose this option".

Next, the contents of the answer in the play are added to the statistical data to create new statistical data, and the new statistical data is rewritten in the accumulating means 50 by the statistical data updating means 40. The data is updated (step 350).

Thereafter, the same game is repeated, and when the game is over (step 360), the game results are totaled to obtain a comprehensive determination result (step 370), and the result is output (step 380). For example, in the case of single-player play, a display such as "You are a common sense person" is displayed, and in the case of multiple-player play, a display such as "Which player is the most common sense?" It

In this way, the player can enjoy the real curiosity by not only staying in the game but also knowing the statistical position of himself / herself.

(Embodiment 2) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

A feature of the game apparatus of this embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is that the attribute determination based on statistics is converted into points and the game is a type of competition for points.

More specifically, for example, it is a quiz game in which the points are varied depending on the correct answer rate so far. That is,
In the quiz game, the score increases in proportion to the ratio of the number of correct answers and the number of incorrect answers to the question so far, and if there are many correct answers, the score will be large if the answer is incorrect.

Then, the answer results of the players are accumulated and stored, which will affect the subsequent points of the unspecified number of players.

In the present game device shown in FIG. 6, statistical (ratio) data (consisting of data 1 to n) 400 is prepared in advance corresponding to a group of questions (consisting of questions 1 to n) 410. The question suitable for the player (P1) (that is, the type of question that allows the player to cast one vote) selected by the question selection means 421 is output from the question output means 420 and displayed on the question display means 430. It

The player (P1) uses the response input means 440.
When an answer is further input, the attribute determination means 450 compares the input answer content with the statistical data corresponding to the question, determines which category it belongs to, and sends it to the score calculation means 460.

The score calculation means 460 executes calculation according to a predetermined procedure while utilizing the RAM 470, and the calculation result is displayed on the result display means 480.

In the case of multiplayer play, the functional blocks 500 and 510 collect the results and select the corresponding players.

The above-mentioned concrete operation procedure is shown in FIGS.
The flowchart will be described later.

This embodiment can be realized not only by the control by the computer of the stored program system (that is, by the software) as shown in FIG. 4, but also by the hardware configuration as shown in FIG. it can.

The structure of FIG. 7 is a quiz game in which the points are changed depending on the above-mentioned game content (that is, the correct answer rate so far, and the score is increased in proportion to the ratio of the incorrect answerer to the question so far. On the contrary, if there are many correct answers, incorrect points will increase the score, and the answer results of the players will be accumulated and stored, and the game contents that will affect the allocating points of an unspecified number of players thereafter will be realized. It is an example of a structure for doing.

In FIG. 7, the attribute determining means 450 of FIG.
Logic gates G1 and G2 that generate signals according to the player's input, latches using D-type flip-flops D1 and D2, and statistical data (total number G, correct answer number, incorrect answer number) H, J) and stores the data memory 620 to output the statistical data held by the outputs of the D-type flip-flops D1 and D2 as a trigger.
622 and NOR gate 630.

Further, the score calculation means 460 of FIG.
Then, it is composed of a divider 640 and a multiplier 650, adder / subtractors 651 and 652 which are enabled by the outputs of the D-type flip-flops D1 and D2, and an accumulator 660 which holds its own points.

The question display means 430 and the result display means 480 shown in FIG. 6 are configured to include an interface control circuit 660, a CRT 670 and a speaker 690 in FIG.

The circuit shown in FIG. 7 is controlled by the control circuit 700 as a whole. Reference numeral 490 is a means for updating the statistical data stored in the data memories 620 to 622, and the data (total number G and correct answer number, incorrect answer number) is given by a command from the control circuit 700 for each game play. The numbers H and J) are updated.

According to the configuration of FIG. 7, the operation procedure of steps 850 to 855 shown in FIG. 11 is realized.

That is, since the control output of the gate enable circuit 600 is at the high level within the time limit, if the player answers the question within the time limit,
The output of either of the gates G1 and G2 becomes high level, and then the high level output is taken in by the D-type flip-flops D1 and D2 in synchronization with the reference clock supplied from the clock generation circuit 610, and the Q output is output. Is reversed.

By the Q output, the data memory 62
Any one of 0 and 621 and one of the data memories 622 are triggered to output G (n-1), H (n-1) or J (n-1) of retained data (past statistical data). (Note that G (n-1) and the like are statistical data accumulated by the game play up to the n-1th time).

Each output data is converted into a statistical data of a ratio by the divider 640 and passed through the coefficient multiplier 650, whereby the game score S (n-1) shown in steps 852 and 853 of FIG. 11 is obtained. Is converted to.

Then, an adder 651 or a divider 652
Either of the above, the new player's own score R (n) accumulated in the accumulator 660 is added to or subtracted from the player's previous score R (n-1) to calculate a new own score R (n). To be done. This new point is displayed on the display 6 under the control of the interface control means 660.
It is displayed at 70 and rewritten to accumulator 660, which updates the player's score.

Next, in response to a command from the control means 700, the statistical data update means 490 causes the data memories 620 to 620.
New statistical data in which the play result of this time is added to 622 is rewritten, and thereby the statistical data is updated.

In this way, the operation as shown in FIG. 11 is realized by hardware.

8 to 12 show examples of the entire game procedure using the specific hardware configuration of FIG. 7 (and the configuration of the superordinate concept shown in FIG. 6).

The game realized by this procedure has the following characteristics.

This is a quiz game in which the points are varied depending on the accuracy rate up to now. In other words, in a quiz game,
The score rises in proportion to the number of correct answers and the number of incorrect answers to the question so far, and if there are many correct answers, the score will be large if the answer is incorrect.

Therefore, the answer results of the players are accumulated and stored, and affect the allocating points of an unspecified number of players thereafter.

There are 5 lives in the case of single player play. In a round system, questions are asked until you have reached the points you need to reach in that round. Start from 100 points.
If you answer wrong, you lose 1 life. However, there is a value of 100 points for each life, and if your own score becomes negative, you will lose 1 life and 100
Points can be added to the points. You can play until you run out of life.

In the case of a plurality of plays (2 to 3 players), a round system in which the number of questions to be asked is determined. Based on the above rules for one-player play, the rule is that the player who passed the first place in the round, or the one who scored the points to clear in one round, proceed to the next round.

In order to calculate the score of the question, the number of correct answerers and incorrect answerers are input in advance, but the survey target is specified in the game. For example, "100 elementary school students in Tokyo
Questions such as "people" and "100 students of the University of Tokyo" will change greatly depending on the survey target.

FIG. 8 shows a flow for selecting an explanation pattern (patterns A to D are prepared in advance) to be presented to the player after the power is turned on.

Patterns A and B are explanation patterns presented before the game starts, patterns C and D are explanation patterns presented after the game starts, and the respective patterns are:
It is selected by steps 800 to 807 and executed according to the selection (steps 808 to 811).

FIG. 9 shows a flow for checking the question limitation based on the personal data of the player.
The attributes of the player are determined in steps 820 to 825, and the question range is determined based on the determination (step 8).
26-829).

FIG. 10 shows a flow for selecting a specific question (question selection). Step 84
An appropriate question within the question limitation range of FIG. 9 is selected by 0 to 847.

FIG. 11 shows a flow for adjusting game scores and points. By steps 852 and 853, the score is increased in proportion to the number of correct answerers and the number of incorrect answerers to the question so far, and when the number of correct answerers is large, the score is large if the answer is incorrect.

Further, by steps 854 and 855,
The player's answer results are accumulated and stored, which realizes an interesting game that cannot be read in advance, which influences the scoring of an unspecified number of players thereafter.

FIG. 12 shows a flow for determining the continuation (end) of the game. Steps 870-875
In accordance with the result of the determination, the operation as shown in steps 876 to 878 is executed.

According to such a game of this embodiment, it is possible to obtain a novel effect which has never been seen in the past, as shown in FIG.

That is, as shown on the left side of FIG.
By properly selecting questions and statistical data, it is possible to play highly realistic games that incorporate interesting matters (for example, occupation, age, region, politics, hobbies, etc.) that belong to various fields related to all modern people. As a result, we will be able to provide new games that can attract customers (game players) beyond the boundaries of simple games.

The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications and applications are possible.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the game machines (1) to (3) installed in different areas are connected by communication lines (L1 to L3) and accumulated in each game machine. By exchanging unique statistical data (game database) that reflects regional characteristics, it is possible to supply interesting games that reflect the characteristics of each region.

For example, when the statistical ratio of those who answered “I like a certain food” is different between Tokyo and Osaka, even if the game result of “majority” is obtained in Tokyo, the data of Osaka is used. It may be "minority" if it is used as a standard. By arbitrarily comparing the judgments based on such statistical data of each region, the game becomes more interesting even though it is the same game device. And so on.

[0110]

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) In the game device according to claims 1 and 2, as the number of times the game is played increases, the input information of the player is accumulated, and as a result, the statistical data changes from moment to moment. Go. Therefore, the essential elements of the game, such as the determination of the game result based on the statistical data and the progress of the game, also change under the influence of it, and even in a game device equipped with the same software, the unknown part depending on the statistics is unknown. Keeping things fresh always keeps players curious.

Also, depending on the installation location of the game device and the customer base, it is possible to expect individualization of the device such that the game result varies from game device to game device, reflecting regionality and sociality. Therefore, it is possible to provide a game device with an attractiveness that has never been achieved.

Therefore, for example, it is possible to play a fresh game based on real and interesting data that reflects the real world, the social situation, and the like.

(3) The game device according to claims 3, 4 and 5 is
Based on the player's answer to the question, the attribute of the player is determined based on the statistical data, and the result is acquired and output based on the determination.

Therefore, the player can enjoy the game while confirming himself / herself while feeling the position of himself / herself and the presence of fellows in the real world.

Further, since the statistical data changes, the result determination standard of the game device changes accordingly. Therefore, even in the same game, "I want to play any number of times" is said. Feelings can be given to the customer (player), and thus the turnover rate of the game device can be increased.

(4) According to the game device of claim 4, it is judged from the statistical data whether the self belongs to the majority or the minority, and based on the judgment, "general personality" and Player characteristics such as "frustration with the world" can be output as a game result.

Therefore, the player, for example, is delighted at the display of his own characteristics (display of the game result),
You can continue playing the game in a fun way.

(5) In the game device according to the fifth aspect, the fortune-telling game is performed by regarding the “fortune-telling” as being based only on the “statistics”, whereby the range of the game contents is expanded.

(6) In the game devices according to claims 6 to 9, the score and deduction of the player for the question change depending on the ratio of the number of correct answers and the number of incorrect answers determined from the result of the question questionnaire in advance.
