Description

The present invention relates to programs and terminals.

Conventionally, there has been a timing determination game (music game) in which a player inputs an input to a marker according to the rhythm of music. In the game device of such a music game, the determination reference timing is predetermined according to the rhythm of the music and is converted into data. Then, a process of evaluating the player's input is performed based on the degree of deviation between the predetermined determination reference timing and the player's input timing.

Further, in such a game, a score calculation is performed based on the input evaluation of the player with respect to the marker, and the player enjoys the game play aiming at a high score (see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2010-88684

By the way, in such a game, a player constructs a unit (deck) composed of a plurality of characters for setting as a character for a game, and makes each character appear in the game space to perform game processing. For example, the dance motion or image of each character constituting the unit and the singing voice data of the character are reproduced in conjunction with each other, and the input of the player is evaluated.

Usually, one character's singing voice data is prepared in advance for one song. For example, when playing the music "ABC" for a unit composed of five characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE, singing voice data of each character PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE is prepared. , Singing voice data of other characters (for example, character PF, etc.) are not prepared. That is, on the management side, each character constituting the unit is defined in advance for each song, and singing voice data in which the singing voice of the voice actor determined for each character is recorded is prepared in advance.

In addition, the player can acquire a new character when a predetermined lottery process (so-called Gasha) or when the game result is determined to be clear. However, when the music that the player wants to play is "ABC", the player often cannot own the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE of the singing voice data.

Therefore, when the player does not own the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE of the singing voice data of the music "ABC" and plays the music "ABC", a different character (for example, the character PF) is played. , PG, PH, PI, PJ) to build a unit and play the game.

However, when the game of the music "ABC" is started, the singing voice data for the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE is played back, so that the motions and images of the characters PF, PG, PH, PI, and PJ are displayed on the game screen. If is reproduced, it does not match the singing voice, which causes a sense of discomfort.

Further, when the player tries to collect the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE for the music "ABC", the game play and the lottery process are repeated, which takes time. Further, since new music is provided according to the progress of the game, if the player's game is not so advanced, the character owned by the player (for example, character PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ, etc.) It may not be possible to play the game of the song of the singing voice data of.

Further, in such a game, conventionally, when the result of the game play by each character PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ constituting the unit is determined to be clear, each character PF, PG, PH, PI, The PJ parameter could be increased. Since the character's parameters are reflected in the score calculation, the player needs to increase the character's parameters in order to aim for a high score.

Then, for example, when the player newly obtains the character PA having the singing voice data of the music "ABC" and tries to replace the character PF among the PFs, PGs, PHs, PIs, and PJs constituting the unit with the character PAs. , The character PA had to be increased from the initial value parameter, and in order to increase the character PA parameter, it was necessary to repeat the game play, which was troublesome and time-consuming.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is that even if a player replaces a character in a game in which music data is reproduced and a player's input is evaluated with respect to a marker. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a program and a terminal capable of minimizing the influence on the score calculated in the game.

3. 3. Game Overview 3.1 Description of Markers As the present embodiment, an example of a game system in which a server and a terminal of a social game for executing a music game are connected via a network will be described.

In the present embodiment, a unit composed of a plurality of characters (for example, five characters) is formed, and a game (stage) of one song is executed in the unit unit.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen W4 in the present embodiment. The game screen W4 is displayed on the touch panel. In the music game of the present embodiment, as the music to be played is played, circular markers 6 are displayed one after another on the screen along the reference line 4 in accordance with the rhythm. The player touches and plays the detection area at the timing when the marker 6 displayed in accordance with the rhythm of the emitted music overlaps the detection area 7.

In the present embodiment, a unit composed of five characters (for example, PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ) set in advance by the player is formed, and a score is obtained based on the parameters and input evaluation of each character. Calculate the physical strength value and advance the game.

The detection area 7 and the reference line 4 are set for each character. The reference line 4 defines the movement locus of the marker 6. The reference line 4 is a hidden line that is invisible to the player. For example, it is defined as a straight line or a curve. The markers 6 are displayed so as to appear and disappear one after another along the reference line 4.

The marker 6 is displayed and controlled so as to appear from above the reference line 4 a predetermined time before the preset determination reference timing T0. Then, at the determination reference timing T0, the animation is displayed so as to overlap the detection area 7, then the game is moved downward and erased from the game screen W4.

The determination reference timing T0 is a target timing at which the player should touch the touch panel, and is a timing at which the marker 6 and the detection area 7 just overlap.

In the music of the play song emitted from the sound output unit, beats such as a melody and a bass line are emitted just at the determination reference timing T0. Therefore, if the player inputs the operation at the timing when the marker 6 exactly overlaps the detection area 7 in accordance with the rhythm of the music, the player can obtain a pleasant sensation as if he / she is virtually playing the music.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the evaluation display body 3 indicating the input evaluation of the player may be displayed at the lower center of the game screen W4, or the evaluation display body 3 may be displayed around the marker 6. ..

3.2 Explanation of input evaluation The terminal of the present embodiment evaluates the input of the player as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the terminal evaluates the player's input with respect to the markers corresponding to each character PF, PG, PH, PI, and PJ.

For example, in the present embodiment, when the operation input position of the player is detected in the detection area 7 of each character, a marker based on the elapsed time at the time of detecting the operation input position from the start of the game is searched based on the musical score data. Then, the success / failure of the input is determined based on the time difference (temporal deviation) between the determination reference timing of the marker and the input timing of the player. For example, in the present embodiment, the smaller the time difference, the higher the evaluation.

Further, in the present embodiment, when evaluating the time difference between the judgment reference timing and the input timing, a plurality of time difference widths are provided before and after the judgment reference timing, and evaluations are assigned to each time difference width, and the corresponding time difference is applied. Read the width rating.

More specifically with reference to FIG. 5, a predetermined period is provided at the determination reference timing. Then, this predetermined period is further divided into periods t1 to t4 according to the four evaluation stages, and it is determined whether the input timing of the player belongs to or does not belong to the periods t1 to t4 or the period. , The input evaluation of the player is performed based on the judgment result.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the period t1 is a period that is the same as or almost the same as the judgment reference timing T0, and is set to, for example, a t1 period before and after the judgment reference timing T0 as a reference. There is. Further, the period t2 is set to a period (however, excluding the t1 period) before and after (t1 + t2) based on the judgment reference timing T0 time point. Further, the period t3 is set to, for example, a period (however, excluding the t1 and t2 periods) before and after (t1 + t2 + t3) based on the judgment reference timing T0 time point. Further, the period t4 is set to, for example, a period (however, excluding the t1, t2, and t3 periods) before and after (t1 + t2 + t3 + t4) based on the determination reference timing T0 time point.

For example, with respect to the determination reference timing T0, when the input timing of the player is acquired in the period t1, the input of the player at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as "Perfect". Further, when the input timing of the player is acquired in the period t2, the input of the player at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as “Great”. Further, when the input timing of the player is acquired in the period t3, the input of the player at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as "Nice". Further, when the input timing of the player is acquired in the period t3, the input of the player at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as "Bad".

Further, when the input timing of the player is acquired in a period other than the predetermined period, or when the input of the player is not acquired in the predetermined period, the input of the player at the determination reference timing T0 is evaluated as "Miss".

In the present embodiment, when the input timing of the player is "Perfect", "Great" or "Nice", it is determined that the input timing of the player is successful, and the input timing of the player is "Bad" or "Miss". In the case of, it is determined that the input timing of the player has failed.

Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of markers 6 may be used. All types of markers are markers that indicate the determination reference position and the determination reference timing, but there are markers that require a long press, markers that indicate the flick direction, and the like.

For example, for a marker that requires a long press, a marker indicating the contact start determination reference timing and the contact end determination reference timing (release timing) is displayed, and evaluation is performed based on the player's operation input timing and the contact start determination reference timing. Is successful, and it is determined whether or not the evaluation based on the timing at which the player's touch is not detected (release timing) and the judgment reference timing of the end of contact is successful.

Further, in the marker indicating the flick direction, a marker indicating the judgment reference direction is displayed to determine whether the flick direction (operation input direction) is the judgment reference direction, and the flick direction (operation input direction) is the judgment reference direction. If, it is determined that the input is successful.

3.3 Explanation of the number of consecutive successes (combo value) Next, the combo of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the number of consecutive successes K (combo value) of the player is set for each player individually. In the present embodiment, by setting the number of consecutive successes K of an individual, the motivation of the player for the game is increased, and the player is motivated to succeed continuously.

In the present embodiment, the initial value of the number of consecutive successes K is set to 0 at the start of the game. Further, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the player's input is successful with respect to the marker, the number of consecutive successes K is counted to be incremented by 1, and when it is determined that the player's input is unsuccessful, Performs a process (returning process) of resetting the number of consecutive successes K to the initial value (0).

Then, in the present embodiment, control is performed to increase the score of the player based on the number of consecutive successes.

4. Description of the method of controlling the parameters of the setting frame In the present embodiment, a plurality of setting frames for setting the character are provided in the unit corresponding to the music, and the parameters of the plurality of setting frames are increased based on the input evaluation. Adopt a method that reflects the parameters of the setting frame in the score. By doing so, even if the player replaces the characters, the influence on the score can be minimized.

In the prior art, when there is a song "ABC" in which the singing voice of a specific character PA, PB, PC, PD, PE) prepared in advance by the management side is recorded, the player has to play the song "ABC" by the management side. If you are trying to collect characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE that match the singing voice of the determined character, but the player does not own the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, another character will be selected. I was playing the game using it.

Further, in the conventional technique, the higher the parameter of the character of the unit, the higher the score of the music game is calculated. Therefore, the player takes time and effort to increase the parameter of the character in order to aim for a high score. It took a lot of time to play the game.

Therefore, for example, when the target character PA is newly obtained and the characters are replaced and the character PA is inserted into the unit, the score is temporarily lowered because the parameter of the character PA is the initial value. A situation occurred, and the parameters of the new character PA had to be trained from the initial values.

However, according to the present embodiment, the parameters of the setting frame are grown and the score calculation is performed according to the value of the parameter of the setting frame, so that even if the characters are replaced, the influence on the score can be minimized. can. That is, the player can minimize the situation where the score drops even if a new character is put into the unit by training the parameters of the setting frame. Hereinafter, an example in which the score calculation is performed by controlling the parameters of the setting frame will be described in detail.

4.1 Character Information FIG. 6 shows an example of character information owned by the player. In the present embodiment, the card ID, the character attribute (type), and the rarity are stored in the storage unit of the terminal in association with each character ID (character name, character identification information).

The "character ID" indicates character identification information given to the player.

The "card ID" indicates the identification information of the card corresponding to the character given to the player. In the present embodiment, a plurality of cards may exist for the same character ID. Further, there may be a plurality of cards having different rarities or attributes for the same character ID. For example, for the same character PA, there may be a card having a rarity of "1" and a card ID of "C101" and a card having a rarity of "2" and a card ID of "C102".

The "rareness" indicates the rarity value of the character. For example, the lower the value, the lower the rarity value, and the higher the value, the higher the rarity value.

Further, the "attribute" indicates the characteristics of the character, and one of "cute", "cool", and "passion" is set for each character.

The terminal may send and receive character information from the server at a given timing, and the terminal and the server may synchronize the character information. That is, when the terminal updates the latest character information, the terminal transmits the updated contents to the server. The server stores and manages character information having the same contents as the terminal.

Further, the player of the present embodiment may have a plurality of the same character IDs.

4.2 Explanation of unit information FIG. 7 shows an example of unit information. In the present embodiment, the music ID, the setting frame ID, the experience value of the setting frame, the level of the setting frame, the character ID set in the setting frame, and the main character ID are associated with each unit ID (unit identification information). Is stored in the storage unit of the terminal.

The terminal may send and receive unit information from the server at a given timing, and the terminal and the server may synchronize the unit information. That is, when the terminal updates to the latest unit information, the terminal sends the updated contents to the server. The server stores and manages unit information having the same contents as the terminal.

4.3 Description of setting frames Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a predetermined number of setting frames are provided in one unit. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of setting frames for one unit is five, but it may be one or two or more.

In the present embodiment, the setting frame ID, the experience value of the setting frame, the level of the setting frame, and the character ID are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit of the terminal.

The "experience value of the setting frame" and the "level of the setting frame" are both examples of the parameters of the setting frame, and are parameters indicating the degree of progress of the setting frame. A predetermined upper limit is set for the experience value of the setting frame and the level of the setting frame.

The "experience value of the setting frame" increases when it is determined that the game result is a predetermined result (clear). Further, when the "experience value of the setting frame" reaches a predetermined upper limit value, "1" is added to the "level of the setting frame" and the "experience value of the setting frame" is updated to the initial value (0). I do.

The terminal of the present embodiment accepts the selection of a character from a plurality of characters owned by the player based on the input of the player, and sets the selected character in the setting frame.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the setting screen W8 of the unit UA. For example, the terminal corresponds to the setting frame ID = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and from the left side of the screen, the setting frame 1 (setting frame ID = 1), the setting frame 2 (setting frame ID = 2), and the setting frame. 3 (setting frame ID = 3), setting frame 4 (setting frame ID = 4), and setting frame 5 (setting frame ID = 5) are displayed.

In addition, the terminal displays the parameters of the setting frames (experience value of the setting frame, the level of the setting frame) of each of the setting frames 1 to 5.

Then, a character (character ID) is set in each of the setting frames 1 to 5. For example, the terminal sets the character PF in the setting frame 1, sets the character PG in the setting frame 2, sets the character PH in the setting frame 3, and sets the character PI in the setting frame 4 based on the input of the player. , The character PJ is set in the setting frame 5.

The terminal of the present embodiment can change each of the characters set in the setting frames 1 to 5 to another character owned by the player based on the input of the player. For example, when the terminal accepts the change from the character PF of the setting frame 1 to the character PA based on the input of the player, the terminal sets the character PA in the setting frame 1.

4.4 Player Information The server of this embodiment manages player information for each player. Further, the terminal of the present embodiment receives player information from the server at a given timing before the start of the game.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the server stores parameters such as stamina value and in-game currency as player information in association with the player ID.

The "stamina value" is a parameter that is increased with the passage of time up to a predetermined upper limit value for each player. For example, 1 is added to the stamina value every 5 minutes.

In the present embodiment, when starting one game (one game), the consumption stamina value associated with the music ID is subtracted from the stamina value of the player. For example, if the stamina value of the player P1 is 40 and the consumption stamina required to play the song "ABC" is "11", or if the game is started with the song "ABC", the stamina value of the player Is updated to "39".

The stamina value can be increased by the player using an item for recovering stamina. For example, the player can immediately play the game of the next song by using the item for recovering stamina without waiting for the time until the stamina value recovers (rises).

The "in-game currency" is an in-game currency, and a predetermined currency is given to the player by a privilege or a billing process. For example, the player can acquire an item by subtracting (consuming) a predetermined amount from the in-game currency.

The player information may include information other than the stamina value and the like.

4.5 Selection of music and difficulty level As shown in FIG. 10, the server of the present embodiment associates music ID (song name or music identification information) with music data (for example, MP3 data) and musical score data. , Consumed stamina, and attributes are stored in the storage as music information. Then, the server transmits the music information to the terminal in response to the request from the terminal.

The musical score data defines the determination reference timing (time from the start of the game) and the length of the sound (type of note) in association with the marker ID. In the present embodiment, five levels of difficulty are provided for one piece of music, and musical score data for each degree of difficulty is prepared in association with the song ID.

In addition, one of "all types", "cute", "cool", and "passion" is set as the "attribute" of the music. "All types" means that it corresponds to all attributes of "cute", "cool", and "passion".

In the present embodiment, when the "attribute" of the music and the "attribute" of the character of the unit match, the score is controlled to increase. When the "attribute" of the music is "all types", it is determined that all the "attributes" of the character are matched.

Further, the difficulty level is 5 levels from 1 to 5, and the lower the numerical value, the lower the difficulty level, and the higher the numerical value, the higher the difficulty level.

In the present embodiment, before the start of the game, the selection of the music to be played is accepted based on the selection input of the player.

The "singing voice character" is a character determined in advance by the management side. When playing a piece of music, the singing voice data of the singing voice character is played.

FIG. 11 shows an example of a music selection screen displayed on the display unit of the terminal.

In the present embodiment, the music, the attribute, the center of the screen, and the lower part of the screen, which are the information of the selected music, are displayed. In addition, the consumption stamina of the selected song is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Further, in the present embodiment, before the start of the game, the selection of the difficulty level of the selected music is accepted based on the selection input of the player.

For example, in the example of FIG. 11, one song (for example, "ABC") is selected from a plurality of songs, the attribute of the song is "all types", the consumption stamina is "11", and the difficulty level is Indicates that is selected by "1". Further, in the example of FIG. 11, it is shown that the singing voice characters of the music are PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE.

Then, when the player accepts the operation input (touch input) of "decision", the selected music and the difficulty level are determined as the music and the difficulty level of the game to be started from now on.

4.6 Confirmation of Units As shown in FIG. 12, in the present embodiment, the units corresponding to the selected music are displayed on the game screen W12.

That is, the terminal of the present embodiment displays the unit UA (unit ID is "UA") corresponding to the music "ABC" (music ID is "ABC"), and is set to correspond to the music "ABC" (unit UA). Each character (each character PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ) set (stored) in frames 1 to 5 is displayed.

Then, when the terminal receives the game start input of the player (for example, when it receives the touch input of the button area for starting the game), the game is started and the score calculation is performed.

4.7 Game processing In the present embodiment, when the game start input is received, the game is started and parameters (scores, etc.) are calculated.

That is, in the present embodiment, the processing of evaluating the input of the player is performed on the markers corresponding to the characters PF to PJ set in each of the setting frames 1 to 5.

(1) Explanation of Score First, the score calculation of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the score is calculated based on the player's input evaluation for the markers corresponding to the setting frames of the plurality of setting frames, the type of the character set in the setting frame, and the parameters of the setting frame. ..

Specifically, an example in which calculation is performed by the unit UA (characters PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ) corresponding to the music "ABC" will be described.

First, the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 of the unit UA will be described. At the start of the game, the score of the character PF is set to the initial value (0 points), and after the game starts, the player for each marker for the character PF. The points according to the evaluation based on the input of are added to the score of the character PF.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, each marker for the character PF is displayed along the reference line 4-1 corresponding to the character PF, so that the player can detect the marker displayed along the reference line 4-1. Input at the timing that matches the area 7-1.

Then, the terminal adds 500 points to the score of the character PF when the evaluation of "Perfect" is judged for the marker corresponding to the character PF, and 100 points when the evaluation of "Great" is judged. Add to the score of the character PF, add 50 points to the score of the character PF when "Nice" is evaluated, and 0 points to the score of the character PF when evaluating "Bad" or "Miss". Is added.

Further, in the present embodiment, the score is increased according to the level of the setting frame.

For example, when the level of the setting frame 1 is in the range of 1 to 10, a predetermined coefficient D (for example, D = 1.0) is multiplied by the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1. When the level of the setting frame 1 is in the range of 11 to 20, the coefficient D is increased (for example, updated to D = 1.1), and the coefficient is added to the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1. Multiply by D (eg, D = 1.1). Further, when the level of the setting frame 1 is in the range of 21 to 30, the coefficient D is further increased (for example, updated to D = 1.2) to obtain the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1. Multiply the coefficient D (eg, D = 1.2). That is, the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is increased according to the level of the setting frame 1.

Further, in the present embodiment, the score may be increased according to the rarity (type of character) of the character set in the setting frame.

For example, when the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is "1", a predetermined coefficient E (for example, E = 1.0) is multiplied by the score of the character PF. When the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is "2", the coefficient E is increased (for example, updated to E = 1.1), and the coefficient E is added to the score of the character PF. Multiply by (E = 1.1). When the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is "3", the coefficient E is increased (for example, updated to E = 1.2), and the coefficient E is added to the score of the character PF. Multiply (E = 1.2). That is, the score of the character PF set in the setting frame 1 is increased according to the rarity of the character PF set in the setting frame 1.

Similarly, the score of the character PG set in the setting frame 2 of the unit UA, the score of the character PH set in the setting frame 3 of the unit UA, the score of the character PI set in the setting frame 4 of the unit UA, and the score of the character PI set in the setting frame 4 of the unit UA. The score of the character PJ set in the setting frame 5 of is also calculated based on the input evaluation, the rarity of the character, and the level of the setting frame, as in the score calculation of the character PF.

Then, after the game is completed, the terminal finally calculates the total score of each character PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ constituting the unit UA, and uses the total value of the music (game, stage). Score.

Further, in the present embodiment, control is performed to further increase the score of the player based on the number of consecutive successes in one game. For example, a coefficient (coefficient is 1 or more) that increases as the value of the number of consecutive successes increases is set, and the coefficient is multiplied by the score of each character.

Further, in the present embodiment, control for increasing the score may be performed based on the attributes of the music and the attributes of each character of the unit. For example, if there is a character that matches the attributes of the music, the score of the character may be controlled to be increased.

(2) Calculation of parameters of the setting frame In the present embodiment, for each of the plurality of setting frames, the parameters of the setting frame (for example, the level and setting of the setting frame) are set based on the input evaluation of the player for the marker corresponding to the setting frame. Control to increase at least one of the experience points of the frame).

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, each character PF and PG are set in the setting frames 1 to 5 of the unit UA.
, PH, PI, and PJ are set, and the calculation of the parameters of the setting frames 1 to 5 will be described.

In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the game is cleared, the "experience value of the setting frame" is increased based on the input evaluation of the player for the marker corresponding to each setting frame.

For example, when the player's input evaluation for the marker corresponding to the setting frame 1 in which the character PF of the unit UA is set determines the evaluation of "Perfect", the terminal sets the acquired experience value = "20" and "setting frame 1". When the evaluation of "Great" is judged by adding to "Experience value of", the acquired experience value = "10" is added to "Experience value of setting frame 1", and when the evaluation of "Nice" is judged, it is acquired. Experience value = "5" is added to "experience value of setting frame 1". If the player's input evaluation fails (“Bad” or “Miss”), the experience value addition processing of the setting frame is not performed.

That is, when the input evaluation of the marker corresponding to the setting frame is successful, the terminal adds the acquired experience value to the "experience value of the setting frame" and raises the "experience value of the setting frame". In addition, the higher the input evaluation of the marker corresponding to the setting frame, the more the "acquired experience value" is increased.

Then, when the increased "experience value of the setting frame" reaches the upper limit value, 1 is added to the "level of the setting frame", the "experience value of the setting frame" is updated to 0, and then the increase is repeated. Control the "experience value of the setting frame" and the "level of the setting frame". It should be noted that each level and the upper limit of the experience value are associated and defined in advance.

Similarly, the levels and experience values of the unit UA setting frames 2, 3, 4, and 5 are calculated based on the input evaluation of the markers corresponding to the setting frames in the same manner as the level and experience values of the setting frame 1. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, for each of the setting frames 1 to 5 of the unit UA, the degree of increase in the parameters of the setting frame may be different depending on the character set in the setting frame.

For example, for each unit setting frame, when the character set in the setting frame matches any of the "singing voice characters" corresponding to the music ID, the experience value (or acquired experience value) of the setting frame is set. A predetermined coefficient J (J> 1, for example, J = 1.1) may be multiplied. In this way, when the character set in the setting frame matches the "singing voice character", the experience value can be increased, and the motivation of the player who tries to collect the character can be further increased. Because it can be done.

For example, the "singing voice character" corresponding to the music ID is PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, and when the character PA is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit, a coefficient is added to the experience value of the setting frame 1. When J is multiplied and the character PF is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit, the experience value of the setting frame 1 is controlled not to be multiplied by the coefficient J.

4.8 Game Results In this embodiment, when the game clearing condition is satisfied, it is determined that the game is successful.

Then, the terminal of the present embodiment transmits the game result and the score to the server in association with the player ID, the music ID, and the difficulty level. When the server receives the game result or the like from the terminal, the server stores the game result and the score as a part of the player information in association with the player ID, the music ID, and the difficulty level, and the number of times the game is played for the music. Update the success probability (the number of successes per the number of times a song has been played).

4.9 Benefits Then, when the server determines that the game is successful, the server grants the benefits to the player. Benefits are rewards for game success, such as new characters, new items (items that can be restarted by setting the physical strength value to the upper limit when the physical strength value reaches a predetermined value, and stamina. Items that can increase the value) etc. In addition, control for recovering the stamina value and control for increasing the upper limit of the stamina value are also examples of benefits.

4.10 Consumption of characters In this embodiment, a character is selected from a plurality of characters owned by the player based on the input of the player, the character is set in the composite frame corresponding to the setting frame, and the game is cleared. When the condition (predetermined condition) is satisfied, the character set in the composite frame may be consumed (erased).

(1) Number of composite frames FIG. 13 (A) shows an example of the number of composite frames corresponding to each setting frame. The terminal stores the number of composite frames of each setting frame 1 to 5 in the storage unit.

For example, the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame 1 is "3", the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame 2 is "3", and the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame 3 is "2". It is shown that the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame 4 is "1" and the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame 5 is "0".

Then, in the present embodiment, the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame is determined according to the level of the setting frame (in a broad sense, the parameter of the setting frame). For example, when the level of the setting frame is 1 (initial value), the number of composite frames is set to 0. Then, when the level of the setting frame is 2 or more and less than 5, the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame is set to "1", and when the level of the setting frame is 5 or more and less than 10, the setting frame is set. The number of corresponding composite frames is set to "2", and when the level of the set frame is 10 or more, the number of composite frames corresponding to the set frame is set to "3".

As described above, in the present embodiment, as the level of the setting frame increases, the number of composite frames corresponding to the setting frame is controlled to be increased.

(2) Setting of Character to be Consumed As shown in FIG. 14, the terminal of the present embodiment has a composite frame 301 of the setting frame 1 of the unit UA, a composite frame 302 of the setting frame 2, and a setting frame 3 on the game screen W14. The composite frame 303 of the above and the composite frame 304 of the setting frame 4 are displayed. Since there is no composite frame for the setting frame 5, it is hidden.

Then, the terminal accepts the selection of the character to be consumed (composite target) from the plurality of characters owned by the player in the unit UA based on the input of the player, and sets the character in the synthesis frame of the setting frame. ..

For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the terminal sets the characters QA, QB, and QC in the composite frame of the setting frame 1 of the unit UA based on the input of the player, and sets the character RA in the composite frame of the setting frame 3. Is set, and the character SA is set in the composite frame of the setting frame 4.

FIG. 13B shows an example of information on the composite frame corresponding to each setting frame. The terminal stores the information of the composite frame corresponding to each setting frame in the storage unit.

For example, as shown in FIG. 13B, the terminal stores the composite frame ID and the character ID set in the composite frame ID in the storage unit in association with the setting frame ID.

For example, a character QA is set in the composite frame 1 of the setting frame 1, a character QB is set in the composite frame 2 of the setting frame 1, and a character QC is set in the composite frame 3 of the setting frame 1. Indicates that Further, the setting frame 2 has three composite frames, but indicates that no character is set. Further, there are two composite frames in the setting frame 3, and it is shown that the character RA is set in one of the composite frames 1. Further, it is shown that the character SA is set in the composite frame 1 of the setting frame 4. Further, it is shown that the number of composite frames in the setting frame 5 is "0".

(3) Character Consumption Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the terminal of the present embodiment plays a game after the characters QA, QB, QC, RA, and SA to be consumed are set in the synthesis frame of the unit UA. , When the game clearing condition (predetermined condition) is satisfied, the characters QA, QB, QC, RA, and SA set in the composite frame are consumed (erased). That is, the characters QA, QB, QC, RA, and SA are deleted from the characters owned by the player.

(4) Calculation of parameters of the setting frame accompanying consumption of the character Then, when the character set in the composition frame is consumed, the terminal of the present embodiment raises the parameters of the setting frame corresponding to the composition frame. ..

For example, the terminal adds "the number of consumed characters" x "100" to the experience value of the setting frame in each of the setting frames 1 to 5.

For example, when the characters QA, QB, and QC set in the composite frames 1 to 3 of the setting frame 1 are consumed, "300" is added to the "experience value of the setting frame 1". Further, when the character RA set in the composite frame 1 of the setting frame 3 is consumed, "100" is added to the "experience value of the setting frame 3". Further, when the character SA set in the composite frame 1 of the setting frame 4 is consumed, "100" is added to the "experience value of the setting frame 4".

In the terminal of the present embodiment, when the character set in the composite frame is consumed, the setting frame corresponding to the composite frame is based on the rarity (type) of the character set in the composite frame. The parameter may be increased.

For example, in the present embodiment, the higher the rarity of the character set in the composite frame, the more the value to be added to the experience value of the set frame is increased.

For example, when the rarity of the character set in the composite frame is "1", the coefficient F = 1.0, when the rarity is "2", the coefficient F = 1.1, and the rarity is "3". In the case of, the coefficient F is set to increase as the value of the rarity increases, such as the coefficient F = 1.2.

Then, in the present embodiment, in each of the setting frames 1 to 5, "the coefficient F of the rarity of the consumed character" x "100" is added to the experience value of the setting frame for each consumed character. In this way, even if a rare character is consumed, it can be effectively used.

For example, when the rarity of the characters QA, QB, and QC set in the composite frames 1 to 3 of the setting frame 1 is "3", and the coefficient F = 1.2 of the rarity "3", the character QA , QB, QC are consumed, 3 × 1.2 × 100 = 360, so “360” is added to the “experience value of the setting frame 1”.

4.11 Judgment of game clear In the present embodiment, the judgment of game clear is performed as follows. For example, when the number of failures (for example, "Bad" or "Miss") of the player's input evaluation with respect to the marker is less than a predetermined number, it is determined that the game is cleared.

In this embodiment, a physical strength value may be set for the character to determine whether or not the game clearing condition is satisfied.

For example, the physical strength value is set in advance for each character, and the total physical strength value of each character constituting the unit used in the game is set as the unit physical strength value. After the game starts, every time the player's input evaluation for the marker fails (for example, "Bad" or "Miss"), "10" is subtracted from the unit physical strength value. In other words, if the input evaluation is successful (for example, "Perfect", "Great" or "Nice"), the physical strength value is not reduced.

Then, if the game ends before the unit physical strength value reaches a predetermined value (for example, 0), it is determined that the game is cleared. On the other hand, if the unit physical strength value reaches a predetermined value before the end of the game, the game is forcibly ended even during the game (determined as game over). It is also possible for the player to set the physical strength value to the upper limit value and restart the game on condition that the player uses a predetermined item.

In this embodiment, various conditions may be set as game clearing conditions. For example, the game clearing condition may be that the score of the stage is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.

4.12 Production processing In the present embodiment, when the character set in the unit corresponding to the music matches the character of the singing voice, the character may be identified and displayed.

For example, when the singing voice character of the music "ABC" is PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, and the character of the unit of the music "ABC" is PA, PG, PH, PI, PJ, the character PA The motion of moving the mouth may be reproduced, and the motion of closing the mouth may be reproduced for the characters PG, PH, PI, and PJ. Alternatively, the image of the character PA may be subjected to image processing of an effect to make it gorgeous, and the image of the characters PG, PH, PI, and PJ may not be subjected to the effect to make the character PA stand out.

4.13 Flowchart Finally, the flow of processing of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the terminal determines the music based on the input of the player (step S101). Then, the character to be set in each of the setting frames 1 to 5 of the unit associated with the music is determined (step S102). Then, the game is started (step S103).

Next, the player's input is evaluated with respect to the markers corresponding to each setting frame (step S104).

Then, the score is calculated based on the input evaluation of the player for the marker corresponding to each of the setting frames of the plurality of setting frames, the type of the character set in the setting frame, and the parameters of the setting frame (step S105). ).

Then, it is determined whether or not the game has been cleared (step S106), and when it is determined that the game has been cleared (Y in step S106), the player inputs to the markers corresponding to the setting frames for each of the setting frames 1 to 5. Based on the evaluation, at least one of the experience value and the level of the setting frame is increased (step S107).

If it is not determined that the game is cleared (N in step S106), the process ends. This completes the process.

5. Application Example The present invention is not limited to the one described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be implemented. For example, a term cited as a broad or synonymous term in a description in a specification or drawing can be replaced with a broad or synonymous term in another description in the specification or drawing.

5.1 Character Growth In this embodiment, an example of growing (increasing) the parameters (at least one of the level and the experience value) of the setting frame when the game is cleared by the player's game play has been described. When cleared, the character parameters may be grown together with the setting frame parameters.

For example, parameters such as level and appeal value are set for each character, a coefficient X (X ≧ 1) whose value increases as the parameter of the character increases is set, and the coefficient X is multiplied by the score of the stage. You may do so.

5.2 Relationship between music and setting frame In this embodiment, an example in which one music and the setting frame of a unit are associated with each other has been described. You may accept the selection of one unit from a plurality of units (for example, unit ID = UA, UB, UC, etc.) used in the music, set a character in the setting frame of the selected unit, and start the game. ..

For example, after determining one song, the terminal may extract units including the singing voice character of the song and start the game based on the extracted units based on the input of the player. When there are a plurality of units including the singing voice character of the music, one unit containing the most singing voice character of the music may be extracted.

5.3 Parameters of the setting frame In this embodiment, examples of the level and the experience value have been described as the parameters of the setting frame, but the physical strength value may be set as an example of the parameters of the setting frame. Further, the degree of increase (growth degree) of the parameter of the setting frame may be changed according to the difficulty level of the music. For example, the higher the difficulty level of the music, the higher the coefficient Y (Y ≧ 1) is controlled, and the coefficient Y is the experience value (or the acquisition experience value of the setting frame) of each setting frame of the unit of the music. Multiply by.

5.4 Singing voice character In the present embodiment, the “singing voice character” may be set in association with the setting frames 1 to 5.

For example, for the music ID of "ABC", the character PA is associated with the setting frame 1 in advance as the "singing voice character", the character PB is associated with the setting frame 2 in advance as the "singing voice character", and the character PC is associated with the setting frame 3 as "singing voice character". The character PD may be associated with the setting frame 4 in advance as the “singing voice character”, the character PD may be associated with the setting frame 4 in advance as the “singing voice character”, and the character PE may be associated with the setting frame 5 in advance as the “singing voice character”.

Then, for each setting frame of the unit, when the character set in the setting frame matches the music ID and the "singing voice character" corresponding to the setting frame ID, a predetermined coefficient J (J) is added to the experience value of the setting frame. > 1, for example, J = 1.1) may be multiplied.

For example, when the "singing voice character" corresponding to the setting frame 1 of the music ID = ABC is the character PA, and the character PA is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit, the experience value of the setting frame 1 is used. When the character PB is set in the setting frame 1 of the unit by multiplying the coefficient J, the experience value of the setting frame 1 is controlled not to be multiplied by the coefficient J.

5.5 Number of setting frames In the present embodiment, an example in which the number of setting frames is five has been described, but the number of setting frames may be one.
