  Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it should be noted that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and extends to the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a battle game realized by cooperation of a plurality of mobile terminals and a terminal game program possessed by each mobile terminal. Hereinafter, a battle game provided by a plurality of portable terminals according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  In this embodiment, a player operates the portable terminal 2a which he owns, and performs the battle game in which his character and the character of another player have a cooperative relationship. Hereinafter, the player himself is referred to as the own player, the character possessed by the player is referred to as the own character, other players other than the own player are referred to as other players, and the characters possessed by the other players are referred to as other characters. A plurality of other players operate the portable terminals 2b, 2c,... Owned by each other player and execute a battle game by each other character. Hereinafter, the mobile terminals 2a, 2b, and 2c may be simply referred to as the mobile terminal 2.

  In the battle game, the player character and one or more other characters are movably arranged in the same battle game space and play against one or more enemy characters existing in the battle game space. During the battle, the player character and the other character perform normal actions according to the operations of the player and the other player. HP is associated with the own character, the other character, and the enemy character, and the HP of each character increases or decreases according to the action of the opponent character, and the HP is a predetermined value (for example, 0 (zero)) as a result of the battle. ) Characters that have become below become incompetent or defeated. The HP is an example of a physical strength parameter or a life parameter for each character to continue the battle game.

  The normal action is an action such as attack, defense, item use, and skill activation performed by each character, and affects the enemy character, the player character and / or other characters in the battle. The attack is an action that reduces the HP associated with the enemy character. The defense is an action that reduces the amount of decrease in HP when receiving an action from the enemy character that reduces the HP associated with the player character. When the item receives a recovery item that increases HP associated with the player character or another character, an attack item that decreases HP associated with the enemy character, or an action that decreases HP associated with the player character, Defense items that reduce the amount of decrease. Skills are special abilities possessed by each character and / or special abilities to be learned during the battle game. Attack skills that reduce HP associated with enemy characters and HP associated with enemy characters are more than attack magic. A special technique to decrease, or a recovery magic that increases HP associated with the own character and other characters. Each character consumes an MP (magic point) possessed by each character and activates the skill. MP is an example of an activation parameter that is consumed to activate a specific action such as a skill. The normal action is an example of the first action.

  The own player forms a team with two other players of the plurality of players before the start of the battle game. Each player is requested to cooperate with the other player in the battle game by the player, or requested to cooperate in the battle game with the player from the other player, or another character existing in a game space different from the battle game space by the player character. Teams can be formed by invitations to When the battle game is started, the player's own character and other characters belonging to the team battle against one or more enemy characters existing in the game space. Note that the number of team members is not limited to three.

  In the battle game, the skill of the player character and the skill of the other character are activated according to the input instructions of the player and the other player, and points are stored based on the activated skill. For example, when a skill such as attack magic of the player character or another character is activated once and the skill hits an enemy character (for example, succeeding in reducing HP associated with the enemy character), 1 point is stored. In this case, if the player hits the skill three times and the other player hits the skill five times during the battle game, a total of 8 points accumulated according to these skills are stored. Hereinafter, points accumulated and stored may be referred to as accumulated points. Note that the points may be stored when a normal action other than a skill is performed. For example, every time an attack by the player character or another character succeeds, 1 point is stored, and the accumulated points are stored according to the number of successful attacks of each character. Moreover, the point amount memorize | stored according to activation of one skill may be changed according to the kind of skill. For example, when a high-level skill is activated once, a higher point amount (for example, 3 points) is stored than when a low-level skill is activated. Note that points may be accumulated according to the activation of skills or the execution of attacks.

  The mobile terminal 2a of the player and the mobile terminals 2b and 2c of other players share the accumulated points and display the accumulated points in real time ((A) in FIG. 1). The accumulated points displayed by the portable terminals 2a, 2b, and 2c are displayed by a gauge (B). The gauge is a bar graph having a length corresponding to the accumulated points, and displays, for example, accumulated points up to 10 points. In addition, 10 points, which is the upper limit value of points that can be displayed by the gauge, is an example of a predetermined value.

  The portable terminal 2a of the player and the portable terminals 2b and 2c of other players determine whether or not 10 points or more accumulated points have been stored. When the accumulated points are stored 10 points or more, the own player and other players can activate the special skill (C). The special skill is an example of the second action. The second action is an action that has a greater influence on the enemy character, the player character, and / or other characters than the first action. For example, the special skill is a special attack magic that reduces the HP associated with the enemy character more than when the attack magic or the like is activated, or the HP associated with the own character and other characters, the recovery magic. Special recovery magic that increases more than if the skill is activated. Further, for example, the special attack is an action that decreases the HP associated with the enemy character more than when the attack is executed.

  When the special skill can be activated, a special skill activation button for activating the special skill is displayed on the portable terminal 2a and the portable terminals 2b and 2c. When one of the player and the other player first selects the special skill activation button (D), the time when the special skill is instructed is stored. The special skill activation button is an example of an operation button. Next, a specific period (for example, 5 seconds) from the time when the activation of the special skill is instructed is set as the cooperation reception period. Hereinafter, the player who first selects the special skill activation button may be referred to as the activation player.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the cooperation player is instructed to activate the special skill during the cooperation reception period. The cooperative player is a player other than the invoking player among the player and the other players. When the cooperation player selects the special skill activation button displayed on the portable terminal 2 of the cooperation player (E), it is determined that the cooperation player has instructed activation of the special skill. Each cooperation player can select the special skill activation button displayed on the portable terminal 2 of the cooperation player once during the cooperation reception period. Note that an upper limit number of times (for example, three times) at which the special skill activation button can be selected during the cooperation reception period may be set in advance for each cooperation player. In this case, each cooperation player can select the special skill activation button up to the upper limit number during the cooperation reception period. In addition, a total upper limit is set in advance for the total number of times each cooperative player can select the special skill activation button during the cooperation reception period, and each cooperation player activates the special skill until the total upper limit is reached during the cooperation reception period. A button may be selectable.

  The effect of the special skill changes during the cooperation acceptance period according to the number of times the cooperation player selects the special skill activation button (F). The effect of the special skill is the degree of influence on the enemy character, own character and / or other character, for example, the amount of damage to the enemy character or the amount of recovery of damage of the own character and other character, etc. The greater the number of selections, the greater the amount of damage or recovery.

  When the cooperation acceptance period ends, the special skill instructed to be activated by the activation player is activated with a changed effect.

  As described above, when the cooperation player cooperates or agrees to the activation of the special action of the invoking player, the effect of the special action can be changed. As a result, the cooperation player's cooperation or approval can be influenced by the effect of the special action. In addition, since a lot of cooperation or support is obtained from the cooperation players, it is possible to realize a battle game that requires a strategy from each player so that a special action is activated in an appropriate scene in the progress of the battle game. The interest of the game can be improved.

The angle A4 is an angle (difference angle between the first angle and the second angle) formed by the first straight line and the second straight line with the designated position as a vertex. The angle A4 is an example of a predetermined angle.

  The battle game screen 900 is divided into a circular area B1, a first angle area B2, and a second angle area B3 by a circular graphic A1, a first line graphic A2, and a second line graphic A3. The first angle region B2 is a region having an angle A4, and the second angle region B3 is a region other than the circular region B1 and the first angle region B2.

  FIG. 10B is a diagram illustrating an example of a battle game screen 1000 tapped while the guide graphic A is displayed.

  In the battle game screen 1000, as in the battle game screen 910 in FIG. 9B, the player character 1001, a battle game space in a certain range around the player character 1001, and enemies existing in the battle game space in the fixed range. A character 1002, a gauge 1003, and a guide figure A are displayed.

  Depending on the guide graphic A, the battle game screen 1000 is divided into a circle area B1, a first angle area B2, and a second angle area B3, and is different for each of the circle area B1, the first angle area B2, and the second angle area B3. Action input instructions are associated with each other. For example, an attack input instruction is associated with the circle area B1, a skill activation input instruction is associated with the first angle area B2, and a defense input instruction is associated with the second angle area B3. It is attached.

  When the player's own player taps one of the circle area B1, the first angle area B2, and the second angle area B3 when the guide graphic A is displayed, the player's own game is displayed on the battle game screen 1000 specified by the tap operation. An action associated with the area including the designated position 1004 is input, and the input instruction is performed. In FIG. 10B, since the designated position 1004 is included in the first angle region B2, an instruction to activate the skill associated with the first angle region B2 is input. The designated position 1004 is an example of a second position. As described above, since the input of skill activation can be performed by the relative relationship between the first position (designated position 904 in FIG. 9A, etc.) and the second position (designated position 1004, etc. in FIG. 10B), Skills can be activated with intuitive and simple operations.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of the mobile terminal 20 that issues a skill input instruction based on position designation. In FIG. 11, the same components as those of the mobile terminal 2 shown in FIG.

  The mobile terminal 20 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal storage unit 22, an operation unit 23, a display unit 24, and a terminal processing unit 250. The terminal processing unit 25 includes at least a battle game execution unit 251, an accumulation unit 252, a cooperation unit 253, an invocation unit 254, and an input processing unit 255. Hereinafter, functions of the input processing unit 255 will be described. The battle game execution unit 251, the accumulation unit 252, the cooperation unit 253, and the activation unit 254 are the same as those shown in FIG.

  The input processing unit 255 specifies the specified position on the battle game screen specified by the tap operation when the operation unit 23 configured by a pointing device such as a touch panel is tapped by the player, and based on the specified specified position. Perform the action.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation flow of input instruction processing by the input processing unit 255.

  First, the input processing unit 255 specifies a designated position on the battle game screen designated by the operation unit 23 being tapped by the player (step S301). Next, the input processing unit 255 determines whether or not a guide graphic is displayed on the battle game screen (step S302).

  Next, when it is determined that the guide graphic is not displayed (step S302-No), the input processing unit 255 selects an attack as the action of the player character, executes the attack (step S303), and step S308. Proceed with the process.

  When it is determined that the guide graphic is displayed (Yes at Step S302), the input processing unit 255 determines whether or not the designated position specified at Step S301 is included in the circular area (Step S304). ).

  Next, when it is determined that the designated position is included in the circular area (step S304—Yes), the input processing unit 255 advances the process to step S303. On the other hand, when it is determined that the designated position is not included in the circular area (No in step S304), the input processing unit 255 determines whether the designated position specified in step S301 is included in the first angle area. (Step S305).

  Next, when it is determined that the designated position is included in the first angle region (step S305-Yes), the input processing unit 255 selects the activation of the skill as the action of the player character, and activates the skill (step S306), the process proceeds to step S308. On the other hand, when it is determined that the designated position is not included in the first angle region (No in step S305), the input processing unit 255 selects defense as the action of the player character and executes defense (step S307). Then, the process proceeds to step S308.

  Next, when the guide graphic is displayed, the input processing unit 255 deletes the guide graphic. Then, the input processing unit 255 newly creates a guide figure based on the designated position specified in step S301, displays the created guide figure on the battle game screen (step S308), and ends the series of steps. To do.

  As described above, in the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the player can easily input instructions for the next plurality of actions based on the immediately preceding tap operation. Thereby, since the player can input instructions sensuously without confirming the user interface for operation input, the operability of the battle game can be improved.

  In addition, by associating an action such as an attack that requires continuous operation (continuous hitting) with the circular area B1 centered on the designated position, the continuous operation can be performed while displaying the guide figure, and the battle game operation It becomes possible to improve the property. Note that the number of angle regions divided by the guide graphic A may be larger than this.

  FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram for explaining another example of the guide graphic A. FIG.

  The guide graphic A is a circular graphic A1 that defines a circular area B1 centered on a designated position, a first line graphic A2 that is located on a first straight line that passes through the designated position, and a second graphic that is located on a second straight line that passes through the designated position. A two-line graphic A3, a third line graphic A4 located on the third straight line passing through the designated position, and a fourth line graphic A5 located on the fourth straight line passing through the designated position. The battle game screen includes a circle area B1, a first angle area B2, a second angle area B3, a first line figure A2, a second line figure A3, a third line figure A4, and a fourth line figure A5. Divided into a three-angle area B4 and a fourth angle area B5. The first angle region B2 is a region having an angle A6, the second angle region B3 is a region having an angle A7, the third angle region B4 is a region having an angle A8, and the fourth angle region B5 is a circle. It is an area other than the area B1, the first angle area B2, the second angle area B3, and the third angle area B4. In this way, by increasing the number of angle areas, even when the number of actions associated with the angle areas increases, the angle areas can be increased as appropriate, so that the operability of the battle game can be improved. It becomes.

  Note that the input processing unit 255 may change the sizes of the angles A6 to A8 according to the state of the player's character. For example, when the input instruction for activating the skill is associated with the angle region B2, the input processing unit 255 increases the angle A6 as the amount of MP of the player character increases. As a result, the smaller the MP, the smaller the angle region B2, and it is possible to prevent erroneous activation of skills that consume MP. Further, when the defense input instruction is associated with the angle region B3, the input processing unit 255 increases the angle A7 as the amount of HP of the player character is smaller. As a result, the smaller the amount of HP, the larger the angle region B3. Therefore, when the amount of HP is small, it prompts the user to select a defense that suppresses the decrease in HP due to the opponent's attack, and inadvertently inputs an action other than defense. It becomes possible to prevent.

  Note that the input processing unit 255 may change the size of each area according to the operation history of the player. For example, when an input instruction of an attack that requires continuous operation (repetitive strikes) is associated with the circular region B1, the input processing unit 255 determines that if the number of repeated strikes in the immediately preceding 3 seconds exceeds a predetermined number, Increase B1. Thereby, it becomes possible to prevent an erroneous input of repeated hits by the player.

  Note that the input processing unit 255 may execute input instruction processing using the guide graphic step by step when a plurality of actions associated with each area of the guide graphic A have a hierarchical data structure such as a tree structure. . Hereinafter, an input instruction process using the guide graphic step by step will be described.

  FIG. 14A is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a plurality of actions having a hierarchical data structure. For example, as a higher hierarchy, large classification items for classifying actions into skills, attacks, defenses, and the like are set. Next, intermediate classification items for classifying skills into attack system, defense system, etc. are set as the middle hierarchy. Then, as a lower hierarchy, for example, small classification items are set in which the attack system of skills is classified into fire attribute skills, water attribute skills, and the like. Each sub-category item in the lower hierarchy is an action that is an input instruction target.

  FIG. 14B is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of the input instruction process using the guide graphic step by step. The guide graphic A divides the battle game screen into a circular area B1, a first angle area B2, a second angle area B3, and a third angle area B4 centered on the first designated position. For example, the first angle area B2 is associated with “skill” in the higher classification item in the upper hierarchy, and the second angle area B3 is associated with “attack” in the higher classification item in the upper hierarchy. Yes.

  When the player player taps the first angle area B2 while the guide graphic A is displayed, the guide graphic A-1 is displayed. The guide graphic A-1 includes a circle area B1-1, a first angle area B2-1, a second angle area B3-1, and a third angle area B4- centered on the second designated position on the battle game screen. Divide into 1. For example, the first angle region B2-1 is associated with “attack type” among the middle class items in the middle hierarchy, and the second angle region B3-1 is “middle class item among the middle class items in the middle class. It is associated with “defense system”.

  When the player's own player taps the first angle area B2-1 while the guide graphic A-1 is displayed, the guide graphic A-2 is displayed. The guide graphic A-2 includes a circle area B1-2, a first angle area B2-2, a second angle area B3-2, and a third angle area B4- centered on the third designated position on the battle game screen. Divide into two. For example, the first angle area B2-2 is associated with “fire attribute skill” in the lower hierarchy items, and the second angle area B3-2 is associated with “water attribute skill” in the lower hierarchy items. It is associated.

  When the player player taps the first angle area B2-2 while the guide graphic A-2 is displayed, the “fire attribute skill” is activated.

  As described above, by using the input instruction processing using the guide graphic step by step, it is possible to easily select an item having a hierarchical data structure only by a tap operation. Note that the input instruction process using the guide graphic step by step is not limited to an action input instruction. For example, it can be used when hierarchically selecting menus. In addition to the game field, any field can be used as long as it selects an item having a hierarchical data structure.

  It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions, and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
