The information processing unit 201 transmits/receives data required for game progress to/from each game device 3. Further, the information processing means 201 uses the account information transmitted from the game device 3 to
Authenticate account information.

The information that the information processing unit 201 receives from each game device 3 includes, for example, user or game device 3 account information, a character lottery request signal, a character strengthening request signal, a conversion request signal, and information regarding the game progress status. Although each information transmitted from each game device 3 is transmitted to each means through the information processing means 201, description of this point may be omitted below for convenience of description.

The character lottery means 202 randomly selects a predetermined character 51 from the plurality of types of characters 51 stored in the storage unit 21 based on the character lottery request signal.

Further, the character lottery means 202 transmits the acquired information of the character 51 to the character determination means 204.

In the present embodiment, the character drawn by the character drawing means 202 will be described as the character 51. The character 51 is set with parameters such as a latent value 53, skill, physical strength, offensive power, and defense power.

The signal determining unit 203 determines whether the signal received by the information processing unit 201 from the game apparatus 3 is a character lottery request signal, a character strengthening request signal, or a conversion signal. When the signal determination unit 203 determines that the signal received by the information processing unit 201 is the character lottery request signal, the signal determination unit 203 transmits a command signal for executing the character lottery process to the character lottery unit 202.

In addition, when the signal determining unit 203 determines that the signal received by the information processing unit 201 is the character strengthening request signal, the potential value 53 of the character 51 or the predetermined general-purpose material 54 is used for the predetermined number of characters 51. A command signal for increasing the skill level (hereinafter referred to as skill level increase command signal) is transmitted to the parameter changing unit 205.

For example, in FIG. 8, the user operates the operation button 52A to operate the operation command 52A of the latent value character enhancement request signal transmitted from the game apparatus 3 or the operation button 52B of "up with general-purpose material". The general-purpose material character strengthening request signal transmitted from the device 3 is transmitted to the information processing means 201. At this time, the signal determining unit 203 determines that the signal received by the information processing unit 201 is the character strengthening request signal, and transmits the above-mentioned skill level increasing command signal to the parameter changing unit 205.

The skill level is information indicating the magnitude of the ability (so-called skill such as special skill) of each character 51 by a numerical value, and the game becomes advantageous by increasing the skill level.

In addition, when the signal determining unit 203 determines that the signal received by the information processing unit 201 is the conversion request signal, the command signal for converting the latent value 53 of the character 51 into a predetermined general-purpose material 54 (hereinafter, conversion). Command signal) to the parameter changing means 205.

For example, in FIG. 8, when the user operates the “convert” operation button 52C, a conversion request signal related to this operation is transmitted to the information processing means 201. At this time, the signal determination means 203 determines that the signal received by the information processing means 201 is a conversion request signal, and transmits the conversion command signal to the parameter changing means 205.

The character determination unit 204 determines, for each user ID, whether or not the character 51 obtained by the lottery is already in the possession state in the game based on the management table stored in the storage unit 21. For example, the character determination unit 204 determines, for each user ID, whether or not the character 51 selected by the character lottery unit 202 is the same as the character 51 that the user already has in the game. The determination is made based on the character management table T3. Thereby, it is managed for each user ID which character 51 the user possesses (whether in possession state).

Further, the character determination means 204 sends information on the determination result to the parameter changing means 205.

The parameter changing unit 205 changes the parameter set for the character in the management table based on the information received from each unit such as the character lottery unit 202, the signal determining unit 203, the character determining unit 204. For example, the parameter changing unit 205 reads the latent value 53 of the character 51 of the corresponding user ID from the character management table T3 and increases the latent value 53 of the character 51 selected by the character lottery unit 202 by a predetermined number.

Further, for example, when the parameter changing unit 205 receives the skill increase command signal from the signal determining unit 203, the number of skill levels of the character 51 having the corresponding user ID from the character management table T3 and the latent value of the character 51. The number of 53 or a predetermined general-purpose material 54 is read out, the skill level of the character 51 is increased by a predetermined number, and the latent value 53 of the character 51 or the predetermined general-purpose material 54 is decreased by a predetermined number.

Further, for example, when a conversion command signal is received from the signal determination means 203, the latent value 53 of the character 51 of the corresponding user ID and the number of predetermined general-purpose materials 54 are read from the character management table T3, and the predetermined general-purpose materials 54 are read. Is increased by a predetermined number and the latent value 53 of the character 51 is decreased by a predetermined number.

Further, for example, when 50 general-purpose materials 54A are gathered (indicated as “×50” in FIG. 7), the parameter changing unit 205 promotes (converts) one general-purpose material 54B to the numerical parameter of the general-purpose material 54B. While increasing by one, the numerical parameter of the general-purpose material 54A is decreased by 50. When 25 general-purpose materials 54B are gathered (indicated as “×25” in FIG. 7), the signal determination unit 203 promotes (converts) one general-purpose material 54C to one numerical parameter of the general-purpose material 54C. While increasing the number, the numerical parameter of the general-purpose material 54B is reduced by 25.

Next, the parameter changing unit 205 reads the information of the character 51 obtained by increasing the strengthening degree of the character 51 from the storage unit 21 when the character strengthening request signal is received from the game apparatus 3, and transmits the information to the game apparatus 3. The storage unit 21 stores information about the game advantage of the character 51, which differs depending on the degree of reinforcement of the character 51.

Further, for example, the parameter changing unit 205 associates, for each user ID, the user ID with the information about the character 51 that can be used in the game (the character 51 newly acquired by lottery or the like).

The management unit 206 manages, for each account information, information regarding the game progress status of the account.

The updating unit 207 updates (overwrites and stores in the storage unit 21) the management tables such as the user management table T2 and the character management table T3 stored in the storage unit 21 based on the processing result of the parameter changing unit 205 and the like.

The reading means 208 receives the account information and various request signals from each game device 3 by the information processing means 201, then reads the game data based on the account information and various request signals from the storage section 21, and the information processing means 201. Send to.

-Functional configuration of the control unit 30 of the game device 3 The control unit 30 of the game device 3 executes the game program downloaded (installed) in the storage medium inserted into the game device 3 or the storage unit 31 of the game device 3. By doing so, it functions as the game control means 301 and the communication means 302.

The game control unit 301 reads the game data received from the server device 2 and the game data (data such as objects and textures) stored in the storage unit 31 and generates a two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual game space. Further, the game control means 301 generates a virtual space and arranges a character (player character) or a non-player character such as an enemy character in the virtual space.

Further, the game control means 301 controls the action of the player character in the virtual space and the action of the enemy character in the virtual space according to the operation signal to the touch pad 350 connected to the own game device 3 and the progress of the game. Control.

The game control means 301 generates information for displaying these virtual space and character as a game screen on the liquid crystal screen 330. The graphic processing unit 33 draws a game image in accordance with these pieces of information.

The game control unit 301 generates information for displaying a user interface such as a button icon for transmitting various requests such as a character lottery request and a character strengthening request to the server device 2 on the liquid crystal screen 330. The graphic processing unit 33 draws an image of the user interface according to the information.

For example, the drawn user interface images include the screens shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. More specifically, FIG. 6 shows an accommodation box screen as an operation screen through which the character, sub-character, and item possessed by the user can be browsed.

For example, the game control means 301 has information (related to the character 51 and the general-purpose material 54) necessary for switching (drawing) from the screen of FIG. 6 to the screen of FIG. 7 when the “character” operation button 351 is operated. An acquisition request for information and the like is generated, and the acquisition request is transmitted to the server device 2 via the communication unit 302. Then, the game control means 301 receives the necessary information from the server device 2 via the communication means 302, and then draws the screen of FIG. 7 based on this necessary information.

Information necessary for switching (drawing) the sub-character selection screen (not shown) when the "sub-character" operation button 352 on the screen shown in FIG. 6 is operated by the game control means 301. An acquisition request for information (such as information about subcharacters) is generated, and this acquisition request is transmitted to the server device 2 via the communication unit 302. Then, the game control means 301 receives the necessary information from the server device 2 via the communication means 302, and then, based on this necessary information, one of the sub-characters who will fight together from among the possessed sub-characters. The selection screen of the sub-characters that can be selected is drawn.

In addition, the game control unit 301 has information (item) necessary for switching (drawing) to an item selection screen (not shown) when the “item” operation button 353 on the screen shown in FIG. 6 is operated. (For example, information regarding information) and transmits the acquisition request to the server device 2 via the communication unit 302. Then, the game control means 301 receives necessary information from the server device 2 via the communication means 302, and then, based on this necessary information, the user can select an item that the user wants to use from the screen of FIG. Draw the screen.

Although a plurality of different types of characters 51 are displayed on the screen of FIG. 7, the exclamation mark (!) shown in some of the characters 51 indicates the latent value 53 of the character 51 or the general-purpose material 54. Is used to indicate that the character 51 is ready to be strengthened.

The game control means 301 has information necessary for switching (drawing) to the screen of FIG. 8 when there is a selection operation of any of the plurality of characters 51 shown in FIG. ) Is generated, and the acquisition request is transmitted to the server device 2 via the communication unit 302. Then, after receiving the necessary information from the server device 2, the game control means 301 draws the screen of FIG. 8 based on the necessary information.

Further, the game control means 301, in the screen of FIG. 8, when there is an operation to improve the skill level (character strengthening) (operation of the operation button 52A or the operation button 52B), a character strengthening request (latent value character strengthening request signal). Alternatively, a general-purpose material character strengthening request signal) is generated and the character strengthening request is transmitted to the server device 2 via the communication unit 302. Then, after receiving the information related to the reinforced character from the server device 2, the game control means 301 determines the information about the number of duplications (the number of possessions) of the character 51 based on the information related to the reinforced character. The object (image) of the character 51 is generated in association with each other, and the screen of FIG. 8 is redrawn.

Further, when there is a conversion operation (operation of the operation button 52C) from the latent value 53 of the character 51 to the general-purpose material 54 on the screen of FIG. 8, the game control means 301 generates a conversion request and causes the communication means 302 to operate. This conversion request is transmitted to the server device 2 via the server. Then, the game control means 301 receives the information related to the converted general-purpose material 54 from the server device 2, and then, based on the information related to the converted general-purpose material 54, information on the number of possessed general-purpose materials 54. The object of the general-purpose material 54 is generated by associating with, and the screen of FIG.

In the screen of FIG. 8, the display of “+1” on the character 51A indicates the current skill level of the character 51. The display of "+2" on the character 51B shows the case where the skill level is increased by one, and the content of the effect when the skill level is increased (the game obtained when the character 51 is strengthened is shown on the right of the character 51B. Advantage)).

Further, in the screen of FIG. 8, the display of “×4” in the latent value 53A of the character 51 indicates the duplication of the latent value 53 of the character 51, and one numerical value is obtained for each duplicate of the acquired character 51. It increases and the numerical value decreases by 1 for each consumption (use). The display of “×1” to the right of the latent value 53B of the character 51 is the number of latent values 53 of the character 51 required when the skill level is “up by the latent value”. The display of “×1” of the latent value 53C of the character 51 is the number of latent values 53 of the character 51 required when converting the latent value 53A into the general-purpose material 54E (54C).

Further, in the screen of FIG. 8, the display of “×50” in the general-purpose material 54A(◯) indicates the number of general-purpose materials 54A required to be converted into the general-purpose material 54B(Δ). The display of “×25” in the general-purpose material 54B indicates the number of general-purpose materials 54B required to be converted into the general-purpose material 54C (⋄). Since the general-purpose material 54C (⋄) is the highest-level general-purpose material, it is displayed as “×1”. The display of “×5” on the right side of the general-purpose material 54D is the number of general-purpose materials 54C (⋄) required to “upgrade the skill level with general-purpose material”. The general-purpose materials 54D and 54E are substantially the general-purpose materials 54C, but are given different reference numerals for convenience of description.

Further, when the game control means 301 receives from the parameter changing means 205 the information of the character 51 which is to be obtained by increasing the skill level (strengthening level) of the character 51 next time, the character 51 after the skill level increase. Information regarding the object 51 and the game advantage of the character 51 after the skill level of the character 51 has increased (in FIG. 8, “increased critical attack occurrence rate”) is generated and displayed on the liquid crystal screen 330. This allows the user to confirm in advance the game advantage when the skill level of the character 51 is increased.

Further, the game control means 301 generates information for displaying the effect image of the character lottery and the lottery result on the liquid crystal screen 330. According to these pieces of information, the graphic processing unit 33 draws the effect image of the character lottery and the image of the lottery result.

The communication unit 302 transmits, for example, a character lottery request signal, a latent value character strengthening request signal, or a general-purpose material character strengthening request signal to the server device 2. In addition, the communication unit 302 receives the game data including the lottery character 51 from the server device 2. The communication unit 302 also transmits and receives game progress data to and from the server device 2.

<Character lottery processing>
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9, the character lottery process in the game system 1 of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a character lottery process in the game system 1 of the present invention. The case where the character lottery process is executed by the server device 2 based on the user's operation on the game device 3 will be described with reference to this flowchart.

First, the signal determination means 203 of the server device 2 determines whether or not the character lottery request signal transmitted by the user's operation on the game device 3 has been received (step S1). When the signal determination means 203 determines that the character lottery request signal has not been received (step S1: NO), conversion and character strengthening processing is executed (step 15). This conversion and character enhancement processing will be described later.

When the signal determination means 203 determines that the character lottery request signal has been received (step S1: YES), the character lottery means 202 performs a lottery based on the character lottery table T1 stored in the storage unit 21, for example, one character. Is selected (step S2).

Then, the character lottery means 202 transmits information on the lottery result (selected character) to the character determination means 204 (step S3).

Next, the character determination means 204 determines, for each user ID, whether or not the character 51 selected by the lottery is already in possession in the game based on the user management table T2 and the character management table T3 ( Step S4). In the example of FIG. 8, on the liquid crystal screen 330 of the game device 3 of a certain user, the number of latent values 53 (53A) of the character 51 already possessed in the game is four (“×4”). Is displayed).

When the character 51 selected by the lottery is already in the possession state in the game (S4: YES), the character determination means 204 determines that the skill level of the character 51 already in the possession state is the maximum value. It is determined whether or not it is (preset numerical value) (step S5).

When the skill level of the character 51 already in possession is not the maximum value (S5: NO), the parameter changing unit 205 reads the latent value 53 of the character 51 of the corresponding user from the user management table T2, One is added to the latent value 53 (53A) of the character 51 (step S6).

Next, the updating unit 207 updates the management table of the corresponding character 51 such as the user management table T2 and the character management table T3 stored in the storage unit 21, based on the character information changed by the parameter changing unit 205. Yes (step S7).

Next, the reading unit 208 reads the information regarding the updated character 51 based on the updated management table, and transmits it to the information processing unit 201. The information processing means 201 that has received the information regarding the updated character 51 transmits the information regarding the updated character 51 to the game device 3 (step S8). Then, the character lottery process of the present invention ends.

At this time, in the game device 3, the liquid crystal screen 303 displays the acquisition effect for the acquired character 51 and also the effect for increasing the latent value 53 of the acquired character 51. For example, after the acquisition effect for the acquired character 51 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 303, the character 51 acquired by executing the process of the character lottery means 202 in the display frame of the character 51 as shown in FIG. A mark such as an exclamation mark (!) is displayed on the character 51 to which the latent value 53 of is added. This exclamation mark is displayed for each character 51 until the latent value 53 of the character 51 becomes zero.

Further, for example, in game device 3, on liquid crystal screen 303, an effect in which the number of duplicates of latent value 53A is increased is displayed on the screen shown in FIG.

Returning to step S5, when the skill level of the character 51 already in possession is the maximum value (S5: YES), the parameter changing unit 205 converts the latent value 53 of the character 51 into the general-purpose material 54C. Yes (step S9).

Next, the updating unit 207 creates the management table of the corresponding character 51 such as the user management table T2 and the character management table T3 stored in the storage unit 21 based on the information of the character 51 changed by the parameter changing unit 205. Update (step S10).

Next, the reading unit 208 transmits information related to the updated character 51 to the information processing unit 201 based on the updated management table, and the information processing unit 201 notifies the character 51 updated by the game device 3. Related information is transmitted (step S11). Then, the character lottery process of the present invention ends.

In this case, the information processing means 201 transmits the information of the general-purpose material 54C to the game apparatus 3, and the received game apparatus 3 displays a display in which the possession number of the general-purpose material 54C is increased by 1 in the character 51 on the screen shown in FIG. To do.

Returning to step S4, it is determined that the character 51 selected by the lottery is not in the possession state in the game (the character 51 in the possession state does not include the character 51 selected by the lottery). In the case of (S4: NO), the parameter changing unit 205 associates the newly acquired character 51 with the user ID of the user who has performed the lottery operation (step S12). That is, the character 51 selected by the lottery is managed as a newly acquired character 51 in a state of being possessed by the user who performed the lottery operation (associating the user ID with the newly acquired character 51).

Next, the updating means 207 relates to the newly acquired character 51 associated with the user ID of the user who has performed the lottery operation by the parameter changing means 205 (parameters such as latent value, skill level, physical strength, etc.). ) Is added to and updated in management tables such as the user management table T2 and the character management table T3 stored in the storage unit 21 (step S13).

Next, the reading unit 208 transmits information related to the updated character 51 to the information processing unit 201 based on the updated management table, and the information processing unit 201 performs the lottery operation on the game device 3 of the user. The information related to the updated character 51 is transmitted (step S14). Then, the character lottery process of the present invention ends.

At this time, the information of the newly acquired character 51 is transmitted to the game apparatus 3 by the information processing means 201, and the received game apparatus 3 displays the acquisition effect for the newly acquired character 51 on the liquid crystal screen 303. At the same time, the effect of adding the new character 51 is displayed. For example, after displaying the acquisition effect for the acquired character 51 on the liquid crystal screen 303, the new character 51 acquired by executing the process of the character lottery means 202 is displayed in the empty portion of the screen shown in FIG. The effect to be added is displayed.

<About conversion and character enhancement processing>
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 5, 8 and 10, a conversion process for converting the latent value 53 into the general-purpose material 54 and a character strengthening process for strengthening the skill level of the character 51 in the game system 1 of the present invention will be described. To do.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the conversion and character strengthening processing in FIG. The case where the conversion process and the character strengthening process are executed by the server device 2 based on the user's operation on the game device 3 will be described with reference to this flowchart.

First, the signal determination means 203 of the server device 2 determines whether or not the conversion request signal transmitted by the user's operation on the game device 3 has been received (step S21). Note that the conversion request signal is transmitted from the game device 3 when the user operates the operation button 52C (“conversion” button) of the game device 3, for example, with reference to FIG.

When the information determination means 203 determines that the information processing means 201 has received the conversion request signal (step S21: YES), the signal determination means 203 sends the conversion instruction signal for converting the latent value 53 of the character 51 to the general-purpose material 54 to the parameter changing means 205. It is transmitted (step S24).

Next, the parameter changing unit 205 that receives the conversion command signal from the signal determining unit 203 changes the parameters of the latent value 53 of the character 51 of the user ID and the possession number of the general-purpose material 54 in the management table (step S25).

For example, taking the character management table T3 of FIG. 5 as an example, the parameter changing unit 205 selects the character () selected by the user from among the parameters of the user ID corresponding to the user who performed the conversion operation on the game apparatus 3. For example, the number 1 of the latent value of the character A) of the game content ID “M000001” is decreased and the parameter 1 of the possession number of the general-purpose material 54 (⋄) is increased.

Next, after changing the parameters in the management table by the parameter changing unit 205, the updating unit 207 updates the management table (overwrites and stores it in the storage unit 21) (step S26).

After the updating of the management table by the updating means 207 is completed, the reading means 208 transmits the information of the conversion result to the game apparatus 3 via the information processing means 201 based on the updated management table (step S27). Then, the process ends.

Note that the game control means 301 of the game apparatus 3 that has received the conversion result information generates a screen showing the conversion result (the latent value 53 has been converted to the general-purpose material 54) based on the conversion result information, It is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 330. For example, with reference to FIG. 8, a display is made on the liquid crystal screen 330 in which the value of the latent value 53A decreases by 1 and the number of possessions of the general-purpose material 54C increases by 1.

Returning to step S21, when the signal determining unit 203 determines that the conversion request signal has not been received (step S21: NO), the latent value character strengthening request for strengthening the character 51 using the latent value 53 is performed. It is determined whether or not a signal has been received (step S22).

When the information processing means 201 determines that the information processing means 201 has received a latent value character strengthening request signal for strengthening the character 51 using the latent value 53 (step S22: YES), the parameter changing means. A conversion command signal for converting the latent value 53 of the character 51 into the skill level is transmitted to 205 (step S28).

Specifically, using the example of FIG. 8, the signal determination unit 203 transmits the latent information transmitted from the game apparatus 3 by the user operating the operation button 52A (“latent value up” button) of the game apparatus 3. When it is determined that the value character strengthening request signal is received, a conversion command signal for converting one of the latent values 53 of the character 51 into one skill level is transmitted to the parameter changing unit 205.

Next, the parameter changing unit 205 changes the parameters of the possession number and the skill level of the latent value 53 of the character 51 of the user ID in the management table based on the conversion command signal transmitted from the signal determining unit 203 (step). S29).

Specifically, the character management table T3 of FIG. 5 will be described as an example. The parameter changing unit 205 is selected by the user from among the parameters of the user ID corresponding to the user who has performed the conversion operation on the game apparatus 3. The value of the latent value of the selected character (for example, the character A of the game content ID “M000001”) is decreased by 1, and the numerical value of the skill level is increased by 1.

Next, after changing the parameters in the management table by the parameter changing unit 205, the updating unit 207 updates the management table (overwrites and stores it in the storage unit 21) (step S30).

After the updating of the management table by the updating unit 207 is completed, the reading unit 208 transmits the conversion result information to the game apparatus 3 via the information processing unit 201 based on the updated management table (step S31). Then, the process ends.

Note that the game control means 301 of the game apparatus 3 that has received the conversion result information generates a screen showing the conversion result (the latent value 53 has been converted to the skill level) based on the conversion result information, and the liquid crystal Display on the screen 330. For example, referring to FIG. 8, on the liquid crystal screen 330, it is displayed that the value of the latent value 53A is decreased by 1 and the number of skill levels of the character 51A is increased by 1, and the next skill level is displayed. The description of the contents of the character 51B and the skill improvement effect brought by the up is corrected and displayed.

Returning to step S22, when the signal determining means 203 determines that the latent value character strengthening request signal is not received (step S12: NO), the general purpose material 54 is used for general purpose material for strengthening the character. It is determined whether or not the character strengthening request signal is received (step S23).

When the signal determining unit 203 determines that the general-purpose material character strengthening request signal for strengthening the character by using the general-purpose material 54 is received (step S23: YES), the parameter changing unit 205 receives the general-purpose material 54. A conversion command signal for converting the skill level is transmitted (step S32).

Specifically, using the example of FIG. 8, the signal determination means 203 is the general purpose transmitted from the game apparatus 3 by the operation of the operation button 52B (“up with general-purpose material” button) of the game apparatus 3 by the user. When it is determined that the material character strengthening request signal is received, the conversion command signal for converting five of the general-purpose materials 54 (⋄) into one skill level is transmitted to the parameter changing unit 205.

Next, the parameter changing unit 205 changes the parameters of the possession number and the skill level of the general-purpose material 54 of the character 51 of the user ID in the management table based on the conversion command signal transmitted from the signal determination unit 203 (step). S33).

For example, taking the character management table T3 of FIG. 5 as an example, the parameter changing unit 205 selects the character 51 selected by the user from among the parameters of the user ID corresponding to the user who performed the conversion operation on the game apparatus 3. (For example, the numerical value of the general-purpose material 54 (⋄) of the character A of the game medium ID "M000001" is decreased by 5 and the numerical value of the skill level is increased by 1.

Next, after changing the parameters in the management table by the parameter changing unit 205, the updating unit 207 updates the management table (overwrites and stores it in the storage unit 21) (step S34).

After the updating of the management table by the updating unit 207 is completed, the reading unit 208 transmits the information of the conversion result to the game apparatus 3 via the information processing unit 201 based on the updated management table (step S35). Then, the process ends.

Note that the game control means 301 of the game apparatus 3 that has received the conversion result information generates a screen showing the conversion result (the general-purpose material 54 has been converted to the skill level) based on the conversion result information, and the liquid crystal It is displayed on the screen 330. For example, referring to FIG. 8, on the liquid crystal screen 330, the number of possessions of the general-purpose material 54C is decreased by 5 and the skill level of the character 51A is increased by 1, and the next skill level is displayed. The description of the contents of the character 51B and the skill improvement effect brought about by the up-correction is corrected.

The present invention can also be realized by using a home-use game device as the game device 3.

Even when these other embodiments are adopted, the effects of the present invention are exhibited. It is also possible to appropriately combine this embodiment with other embodiments, and other embodiments.

Further, when the latent value 53 of the character 51 is “0”, the signal determination means 203 converts the “up in latent value” operation button 52A and the latent value 53 shown in FIG. The operation button 52C may be grayed out to generate information for displaying a message indicating that the latent value 53 is insufficient on the liquid crystal screen 330, and the information may be transmitted to the game apparatus 3. At this time, in the game device 3, the operation buttons 52A and 52C are disabled.

Similarly, when the general-purpose material 54 that can be used to increase the skill level of the character 51 is insufficient, the signal determination unit 203 grays out the operation button 52B of "up with general-purpose material" shown in FIG. Information for displaying a message indicating that the general-purpose material 54 is insufficient on the liquid crystal screen 330 may be generated, and the information may be transmitted to the game apparatus 3. At this time, the game device 3 cannot operate the operation button 52B.

In addition, when the skill level of the character 51 is the maximum value, the signal determination means 203 grays out the operation button 52A for "up with latent value" and the operation button 52B for "up with general-purpose material", and the skill level is the upper limit. Information for displaying a message to that effect on the liquid crystal screen 330 may be generated and the information may be transmitted to the game apparatus 3. At this time, the game device 3 cannot operate the operation buttons 52A and 52B.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the parameter changing unit 205 changes the parameters other than the skill level set for the character based on the information received from the signal determining unit 203 or the like. All parameters including the skill level may be changed based on the experience value.

Further, when the game apparatus 3 logs in by a user's operation, necessary information from the server apparatus 2 (information related to the user's account (including information such as owned characters, sub-characters, items), game progress. Information, etc.) may be received in advance.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game is advantageous by increasing the skill level by using the latent value 53 of the character 51, but instead of this, the latent value 53 of the character 51 is used. The game may be advantageous by directly changing the information of the ability of 51 (so-called skill such as special skill) (increasing the parameter relating to the skill).

Further, in the above embodiment, one of the latent values 53 of the character 51 is consumed to raise the skill level by one. However, by using the latent values 53 collectively, a privilege is given. It may be one. For example, when 5 latent values 53 are collectively consumed to increase the skill level, as in the case where the latent value 53 is consumed 6 times, the normal skill level is increased to 5 in addition to the skill level. A bonus for increasing the degree by one may be added.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, even after the skill level is increased, the skill level can be increased by one by consuming one of the potential values 53 of the character 51. In addition, each time the skill level is increased, the number of consumptions of the latent value 53 may be gradually increased for the next increase in the skill level. For example, the number of latent values 53 required to increase the skill level “1” to the skill level “2” is one, but it is necessary to increase the skill level “2” to the skill level “3”. The number of latent values 53 is two, and so on.
