Play extension system and program for the same

Abstract

The present invention provides a play extension system enhancing a fun of a toy system by use of network. The play extension system is used by combination with the toy system in which a user can change the setting of parameters affecting motion control of a driving machine, for extending a playing method with the toy system. In the system, the setting information corresponding to the setting state of the parameters is received from a predetermined user terminal through a network, and estimation on the obtained setting information is created by referring to a database which stores the setting information and the information for estimating the setting state correspondingly. The created estimation is transmitted to a predetermined destination through the network.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a play extension system which is used by combination with a toy system capable of changing the setting of parameters affecting motion control of a driving machine by a user, thereby enhancing the fun of a play with the toy system. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] In the toy system for remote-controlling a driving machine such as a vehicle and a vessel by using radio waves or infrared rays, there is some toy system in which a user can change the setting of a correspondence between an input operation to a remote-controlled transmission unit and a control amount of the driving machine moved according to the input operation. For example, as is well known, in a toy system capable of a user's remote-controlling a model car, the setting of a correspondence between ‘the user’s operation amount of a steering wheel (or lever) provided on the transmission unit and the actual stee...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a play extension system for a toy system that can enhance the fun of the toy system by using a network. The system includes an information obtaining device for receiving setting information from a user through a network, an estimation creating device for creating an estimation of the user's setting state based on the information, and an estimation transmission device for transmitting the estimation to the user's destination through the network. The system also includes a game result storing device for storing a result of a game based on the user's setting, a privilege issuing device for issuing a privilege to the user, and a privilege notifying device for transmitting the privilege to the user's destination. The system allows users to access the game through the user's terminal and experience the play from the user's perspective. The system also allows users to perform the same type of parameter settings in the toy system that affect the game result, creating a connection between the game and the toy system. The system can provide a more immersive experience for users and extend the playing form of the toy system.

Problems solved by technology

On the contrary, however, a user's trouble of finding out a proper setting for each parameter is also increased.

Therefore, if the system is provided with a lot of the settable parameters, a class of users is limited to such a personality that is not troubled by the above setting.

In the user's individual setting, even if a user finds a proper setting, it may prove to need improvement, or a user may lose interest in the play thereafter because of the above trouble, without making full use of the prepared setting change function, regardless of the existence of the worthy setting.
