The following describes embodiments of the mahjong game providing system and mahjong game server according to the present invention with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment of mahjong game providing system and mahjong game server)
Here, FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of the entire mahjong game providing system according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the mahjong game server shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the mahjong game providing system 10 includes a mobile terminal 1 such as a mobile phone capable of executing i-mode (registered trademark) and a mahjong game server (to which the mobile terminal 1 is connected via the Internet 9). (Hereinafter referred to as “server”) 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the server 2 is configured around a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 2A, and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 2B and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 2C, and serves as an auxiliary storage device. An HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 2D is included.

  The CPU 2A operates according to a program stored in the ROM 2B, reads / writes data from / to the HDD 2D, and controls the overall operation of the server 2.

  Further, the CPU 2A operates as a calculating means for calculating the total number of wins when the player executes the mahjong game with the server 2 as an opponent, and the player's initial score is determined according to the calculated total number of wins. It operates as means for increasing the value (point increasing means). The ROM 2B stores a program executed by the CPU 2A and permanent data. In the case of the server 2, a score conversion table 15 described later is stored in the ROM 2B. The RAM 2C stores data and programs used when the CPU 2A operates.

  Then, the server 2 executes a process for providing the player who uses the mobile terminal 1 with the mahjong game that is the opponent of the player by the CPU 2A executing the program stored in the ROM 2B.

  The HDD 2D stores a member master 11, a game data file 12, a total victory number management master 13, and an initial score management master 14.

  The member master 11 is a master file that manages attributes related to members of the mahjong game providing system 10. Here, the member is a player who is allowed to provide a mahjong game by the mahjong game providing system 10. In the present embodiment, the member master 11 is provided with items as shown in FIG. That is, the member master 11 is provided with items of a personal identification number 11a, a member number 11b, a member name 11c, a member registration date 11d, and a telephone number 11e. The member master 11 is subjected to a process for updating each item by a member registration process to be described later, and desired data is stored.

  The game data file 12 stores data necessary for executing the process of providing the mahjong game (for example, data of a character that is a player's opponent, mahjong pie, data of a combination, etc.). Yes.

  The total victory number management master 13 is a master file that manages the number of times (the number of wins) that each player (member) has executed a mahjong game and won the mahjong game. The total victory number management master 13 has items as shown in FIG. 4 in each record. That is, the total victory number management master 13 is provided with the member number 13a, the total number of victory 13b by character, and the total number of victory 13c. The member number 13 a is registered with the same content as the member number 11 b of the member master 11. In the total number of wins 13b for each character, a number (total number of wins) obtained by adding the number of wins of each player for each opponent is registered. That is, the total number of wins 13b for each character registers the first, second, third,... Character 13d indicating the opponent character, and the total number of wins obtained by winning against the corresponding character. The first, second, third,... In FIG. 4, three characters (“Mali”, “Yuki”, “Hiromi”) are assumed as players' opponents in the mahjong game, but the characters are not limited to these three. The fourth and subsequent characters may be set, and the items for the fourth and subsequent characters may be provided in the same manner as these three characters.

  In the total number of wins 13c, a number (total number of wins) obtained by adding the number of wins of each player for each player is registered. Accordingly, for each specific member (for example, “G00001”), when the total number of wins registered in the total number of wins 13b by character is totaled (“10”, “25”, “7” are added up), the total This matches the number ("42") registered in the total number of wins 13c.

  The initial score management master 14 stores the initial score (the score set for each player when the mahjong game is started) required for each player (member) to execute the mahjong game. ) Is a master file managed for each. The initial score management master 14 is provided with items as shown in FIG. 5 in each record. That is, the initial score management master 14 is provided with a member number 14a, a character-specific initial score 14b, and a total initial score 14c. The member number 14 a is registered with the same content as the member number 11 b of the member master 11. In the initial score 14b for each character, a number in which the initial score of each player is set for each opponent is registered. That is, the initial score 14b for each character registers the first, second, third,... Character 14d indicating a character as an opponent and the initial score given when the player battles the corresponding character. 1, 2, 3,..., Initial holding points 14 e. An initial score corresponding to the total number of wins 13c is set in the total initial score 14c.

  Next, operation procedures of the mahjong game providing system 10 and the server 2 having the above-described configuration will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the server 2 when the server 2 provides a mahjong game to the player.

  First, when a player plays a mahjong game, he / she operates his / her mobile terminal 1 to access the server 2. At this time, the server 2 stands by until there is an access from the player in step 1 after the start of processing. Then, if there is an access, the player selects a paid connection (in the case of a free connection, only the predetermined information is displayed and the mahjong game is not provided), and the process proceeds to step 2, and the server 2 operates the CPU 2A. Then, it is checked whether or not the player is allowed to provide the mahjong game (whether or not he is a member). In this case, the CPU 2A searches the member master 11 using information obtained by the player's access, and determines whether or not the member is a registered member. For example, based on the information obtained by the player's access, the personal identification number 11a and the membership number 11b are searched, and if there is data (record) in which the personal identification number 11a and the membership number 11b match, registration (member) If it is not registered, the process proceeds to step 4; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 3 to execute member registration processing.

  In step 3, the server 2 performs member registration processing. At this time, since the server 2 registers a newly accessed player (hereinafter referred to as “new player”) as a member of the mahjong game, the CPU 2A reads predetermined information from the ROM 2B and transmits it to the portable terminal 1. Control. Then, a predetermined member registration screen (not shown) is displayed on the input screen (for example, a liquid crystal display screen) of the portable terminal 1. While referring to this member registration screen, the new player inputs desired information into items necessary for member registration (such as a personal identification number, member name, and telephone number), performs a predetermined operation, and transmits it to the server 2. Then, in the server 2, the CPU 2 </ b> A accesses the member master 11 after adding a predetermined check to each item transmitted from the mobile terminal 1. Then, based on the information input by the new player, the CPU 2A newly creates another record in the member master 11, and registers the new player as a new member.

  Next, the server 2 proceeds to step 4 and performs a game selection process. Here, prior to the execution of the mahjong game, the CPU 2A reads from the ROM 2B data necessary for displaying a selection screen for the player to select mahjong game settings such as the opponent and the battle (game) mode. Control transmission to 1. Then, a selection screen for selecting the mahjong game setting is displayed on the input screen of the mobile terminal 1. For example, on the selection screen, the mahjong game match (game) mode is selected (the mahjong game in which the server 2 is the player's opponent (hereinafter referred to as “match mahjong game”), or another player is the opponent. A screen for selecting a mahjong game) and an opponent (character) for the battle mahjong game is displayed. Here, when the predetermined setting is completed, the process proceeds to step 5 where a game execution process is performed. In this step, the mahjong game is played according to the setting in step 4.

Then, the process proceeds to step 6 where a process for calculating the total number of wins is performed. In this case, in the server 2, the CPU 2 </ b> A operates as a calculation means for calculating the total number of wins, thereby performing the following processing to calculate the total number of wins.
(Total victory calculation process)
As shown in FIG. 8, when the calculation process of the total number of wins is started, the process proceeds to step 10, where the CPU 2A determines whether or not the mahjong game executed by the player is a battle mahjong game. The process proceeds to 11, but if it is not a competitive mahjong game, the process ends. The process proceeds to step 11 when the player plays a mahjong game against the character set by the server 2. In this case, the CPU 2A determines whether or not the player has won in the played mahjong game. If it has won, the process proceeds to step 12, and if the player has lost (may include a draw), the process is performed. Exit.

  In step 12, the CPU 2A accesses the HDD 2D and reads the total victory number management master 13. At this time, the CPU 2A uses the member number (hereinafter referred to as “game member number”) of the player who played the mahjong game as a search key to search the total victory number management master 13, and the member number 13a matches the game member number. To be read (for example, a record whose membership number is “G00001”). Then, the process proceeds to step 13, and the number n stored in the total number of wins 13e of the character 13d that is the opponent of the player is read from the read record for the total number of wins 13b by character, and the number n is read. 1 is added, and the number n after the addition is set to the original total number of wins 13e. In the following step 14, 1 is similarly added to the total number of wins 13c of the read record, and the number after the addition is set as the original total number of wins 13c.

For example, if the total victory number management master 13 shown in FIG. 4 indicates that the mahjong game has not been executed, for the record of the member number “G00001”, the number stored in the total victory number 13e of the first character 13d is “10” and the number stored in the total number of wins 13c is “42”. Therefore, if the player with the membership number “G00001” wins the mahjong game, “1” is added to “10” after the game, and “11” is set to the total number of wins 13e. Further, “1” is added to “42”, and “43” is set as the total number of wins 13c. Then, the process proceeds to step 15 where the total victory number management master 13 is updated based on the data obtained in steps 13 and 14. That is, the read records are written in the total victory number management master 13. In step 15, the calculation process of the total number of wins is completed. (Point setting process)
When the calculation process of the total number of wins is completed, the process proceeds to step 7 shown in FIG. 7, and a score setting process is performed. At this time, the CPU 2A operates as means for increasing the player's points. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 2 </ b> A proceeds to step 21 after executing steps 10 and 11 as in the above-described total victory number calculation process, accesses the HDD 2 </ b> D, and reads the total victory number management master 13. At this time, similarly to the above-described processing, the total victory number management master 13 is read using the game member number as a search key, and the record corresponding to the game member number (for example, the record of the member number “G00001”) is read.

  Then, the process proceeds to step 22 where the total number of wins is read and acquired from the record read in step 21. At this time, the total number of wins may be the total number of wins by character and the total number of wins. When using the former, the total number of wins stored in the total number of wins 13b by character (for example, the first total number of wins 13e corresponding to the first character 13d) is used. When using the latter, the total number of wins The total number of wins stored in Equation 13c is used. When the former is used, the initial score is increased according to the total number of wins by character. When the latter is used, the initial score is determined according to all the total wins of the player, not for each character. It is a case of increasing.

  Next, proceeding to step 23, the CPU 2A refers to the score conversion table 15 stored in the ROM 2B. As shown in FIG. 6A, the score conversion table 15 is a table having a total victory number area 15a and a score area 15b, and stores the total number of wins and the initial score in association with each other. Is. Here, the total number of wins area 15a stores the total number of wins (hereinafter referred to as “total number of promoted wins”) when the player can increase (promote) the initial points. The initial score corresponding to the total number of promoted wins is stored in the score area 15b. The initial score stored here is “1500”, “2000”, “3000”, “4000”, but all of them are larger than the initial score at the beginning of the mahjong game (for example, “1000”). A number is set.

  Further, the score conversion table 15 shown in FIG. 6 (a) can be applied regardless of whether the total number of wins is for each character or the total number of wins. In addition to this, it is preferable to provide a table for setting initial points for each character. For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, a character-specific area 15c in which the total victory number area 15a and the score area 15b are associated with each character, and a total initial score area 15d corresponding to the total initial score. It is preferable to provide a score conversion table 16 provided separately. For the former, the total number of promoted wins and the corresponding initial score are gradually increased. In this way, a player who plays the mahjong game for each character can be given many opportunities for increasing points.

  Then, the CPU 2A sets the total number of wins acquired in step 22 as a search key, searches the score conversion tables 15 and 16, and searches for the total number of promoted wins that matches the search key. At this time, when the total number of wins is classified by character, the total number of wins area 15a of the score conversion table 15 or the area 15c for each character of the score conversion table 16 is searched. When setting the total number of wins, the total number of wins area 15a of the point conversion table 15 or the total initial points area 15d of the point conversion table 16 is searched. In the following step 24, it is determined whether or not there is a matching number of promoted wins. If there is a matching number of promoted wins, the process proceeds to step 25, and if not, the process is terminated. When proceeding to step 25, an initial score corresponding to the total number of promoted wins is obtained from the score area 15b, and the process proceeds to step 26. In step 26, the initial score acquired in step 25 is set as the corresponding initial score among the initial score 14b by character and the total initial score 14c, and the process proceeds to step 27, where the initial score management master 14 is updated. To do. With the above, the point setting process is completed. Following the score setting process, the process proceeds to step 8 shown in FIG. 7, the initial score is notified to the portable terminal 1 via the Internet 9, and the process ends. By this step 8, the player knows his initial score.

  As described above, in the mahjong game providing system 10, when the player plays the mahjong game and wins the mahjong game as a result of the battle with the character set by the server 2, the total number of wins is gradually added. When reaching a predetermined value, the initial score is increased. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the player, as the total number of wins increases, the initial points can be increased, so that the player can obtain the merit of repeating the battle with the same character (the opponent). Therefore, the mahjong game providing system 10 can make the player want to play the game for a long time without getting tired of the mahjong game, and can provide a mahjong game that is interesting for the player. it can.

  Further, since the mahjong game providing system 10 provides mahjong games to the players who access from the server 2 via the Internet, when there is a need to change the mahjong game specifications, The game can be easily updated by changing the game.

In the above embodiment, in the score setting process, the CPU 2A searches the score conversion tables 15 and 16 to acquire the initial score corresponding to the total number of wins (hereinafter referred to as “table acquisition”). Yes. The “means for increasing the score according to the total number of wins” in the present invention is not limited to the table acquisition by the CPU 2A. For example, an equation that associates the total number of wins with the initial score may be set, and the initial score corresponding to the total number of wins may be acquired according to the equation.
