[0018] Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, but includes the inventions and their equivalents described in the claims. Please note that this covers equivalents.

[0019] FIG. 1 shows a system in which multiple mobile terminals cooperate with each other and the terminal game programs that each mobile terminal has. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a battle game realized by the above. The battle game provided by a plurality of mobile terminals of this embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] In this embodiment, the player operates the mobile terminal 2a that the player owns to control his / her own character. The player and the other player's characters cooperate in a battle game. The player himself is called the player, the character he has is called the character, and the character he has is called the player's character. Players other than the player are called other players, and characters owned by other players are called other characters. The other players are called characters. 2c, ... The mobile terminals 2a, 2b, and 2c may be simply referred to as mobile terminals 2.

[0021] In a battle game, a player's character and one or more other characters play the same battle game. The robot is movably placed in the battle game space, and one or more enemy characters are present in the battle game space. During the battle, the player's character and other characters The player's character, other characters, and enemy characters perform normal actions according to the ear's operation. Each character has an HP associated with them, and each character's HP is proportional to the opponent's HP. It increases or decreases according to the actions of the Rakuta, and as a result of the battle, HP will reach a predetermined value (for example, 0 (zero)). Characters who fall into the following conditions will be unable to battle or will be defeated. This is an example of a physical strength parameter or life parameter for continuing the game.

[0022] Normal actions are attacks, defenses, use of items and skill activations performed by each character. These are actions such as movements, and are performed against enemy characters, your own character, and / or other characters in battle. Attacking is an action that reduces the HP associated with an enemy character. Defense is when an enemy character takes an action that reduces the HP associated with your character. This is an action that reduces the amount of HP lost when the item is used. is a recovery item that increases the HP of other characters, and is associated with enemy characters. Attack items that reduce HP received, HP associated with your character that reduces HP These are defensive items that reduce the amount of HP lost when an attack is received. are the special abilities each character possesses and / or learns during the battle game. , attack magic that reduces the HP associated with the enemy character, A special move that reduces HP by more than an attack magic, or a special move that reduces HP by more than an attack magic. The HP associated with each character is increased by recovery magic. The skill is activated by consuming the MP (magic points) that the user has. This is an example of an activation parameter that is consumed to activate a specific action. The action is an example of a first action.

[0023] Before the start of the battle game, the player must be paired with two other players. Teams are formed. Each player can request other players to cooperate in the battle game. Or other players' requests for cooperation in a battle game to the player, or the player's character Invitations to other characters that exist in a game space different from the battle game space When the battle game starts, you can create a team. The character and other characters battle one or more enemy characters in the game space. The number of members in a team is not limited to three.

[0024] In a battle game, players control their character's speed according to the inputs of their own and other players. Kills and other characters' skills are activated, and points are recorded based on the skills activated. For example, when a skill such as an attack magic spell of your own character or another character is activated once, The skill hits an enemy character (e.g., reduces the HP associated with the enemy character) If the skill is successful, 1 point will be recorded according to the skill. During the battle game, the player hits the skill three times and the other player hits the skill If you hit five times, a total of 8 points will be stored based on these skills. Hereinafter, the accumulated and stored points may be referred to as accumulated points. Points can be recorded when a normal action other than a skill is performed. For example, each time your character or another character makes a successful attack, one point is awarded. The accumulated points are stored according to the number of successful attacks for each character. Also, depending on the type of skill, the number of points stored for each skill activation will vary. For example, if you activate a high-level skill once, a low-level skill A higher number of points (for example, 3 points) is stored than when activating the skill. Points may be accumulated as activations or attacks are performed.

[0025] The player's mobile terminal 2a and the other players' mobile terminals 2b and 2c share accumulated points. The mobile terminal 2a has a function to display the accumulated points in real time (see (A) of FIG. 1). The accumulated points from 2b and 2c are displayed by a gauge (B). A bar graph with a length corresponding to the accumulated points, for example, up to 10 points The accumulated points are displayed. Note that the maximum number of points that can be displayed by the gauge is 1. 0 points is an example of a predetermined value.

[0026] The player's mobile terminal 2a and the other players' mobile terminals 2b and 2c have accumulated points of 1 Determine whether 0 points or more have been stored. If 10 points or more have been stored, If this happens, the player and other players can activate special skills (C). Special skills are an example of secondary actions. Secondary actions can be used to attack enemy characters, This action has a greater effect on the player's character and / or other characters than the first action. For example, special skills can increase the HP associated with an enemy character, or increase the HP of an enemy character by using attack magic, etc. Special attack magic that reduces the skill by more than when the skill is activated, or your character and HP associated with other characters is increased more than when skills such as recovery magic are activated. Special recovery magic that increases the damage of enemies. This is an action that reduces the HP of the target by more than if an attack were performed.

[0027] When it becomes possible to activate a special skill, the mobile terminal 2a and the mobile terminals 2b and 2c A special skill activation button will be displayed to activate the special skill. If one of the players first selects the special skill activation button (D), the special skill will be activated. The time when the action was 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 special skill is activated will be After that, the first player to select the special skill activation button will This may be referred to as the invoking player.

[0028] Next, during the cooperation reception period, it is determined whether or not the cooperation player has instructed the activation of a special skill. The cooperating player can decide whether to use the power of the player himself or any other player other than the player who initiated the action. The cooperating player presses the special skill activation button displayed on the mobile terminal 2 of the cooperating player. If the player selects (E), it is determined that the cooperating player has instructed the activation of a special skill. Each cooperating player presses the special skill activation button displayed on the cooperating player's mobile terminal 2. This can be selected once during the cooperation acceptance period. In addition, if you select the special skill activation button during the cooperation acceptance period, The upper limit of the number of times that each cooperating player can play the game (for example, three times) may be set in advance for each cooperating player. Each cooperating player can select the special skill activation button up to a maximum number of times during the cooperation acceptance period. In addition, the total number of times each cooperating player can select the special skill activation button during the cooperation acceptance period The total upper limit of the number of times that each cooperating player can participate is set in advance, and each cooperating player must The special skill activation button may be made selectable until the skill level is reached.

[0029] The effect of the special skill is determined by the cooperation player's selection of the special skill activation button during the cooperation acceptance period. The effect of the special skill changes depending on the number of times (F). and / or the degree of influence on other characters, for example, damage to enemy characters. The amount of damage your character and other characters have recovered, etc. The higher the value, the greater the amount of damage or recovery.

[0030] Then, when the cooperation acceptance period ends, the special skill that was instructed to be activated by the activation player will be activated. The effect is changed.

[0031] In this way, in response to the activation of the special action of the activation player, the cooperating player can cooperate or If you agree, you can change the effect of special actions. It is now possible to have the cooperation or support of players affect the effectiveness of special actions. In addition, since a lot of cooperation or support can be obtained from cooperative players, it is beneficial for the progress of the battle game. A battle that requires each player to use their strategy to activate special actions at the appropriate times. This makes it possible to realize a game, thereby making the battle game more entertaining.

Skills can be activated with a simple operation.

[0119] FIG. 11 shows an example of a schematic configuration of a mobile terminal 20 that performs a skill input instruction based on a position specification. 11, the same components as those of the mobile terminal 2 shown in FIG. The explanation for these is omitted.

[0120] The mobile terminal 20 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal storage unit 22, an operation unit 23, and a display unit 24. The terminal processing unit 25 includes at least a battle game execution unit 25 1, an accumulation unit 252, a cooperation unit 253, a trigger unit 254, and an input processing unit 255. The function of the force processing unit 255 will be described. 2. The cooperation unit 253 and the activation unit 254 are the same as those shown in FIG. 3, so detailed description will be omitted. Abbreviated.

[0121] The input processing unit 255 is an operation unit 2 that is configured with a pointing device such as a touch panel. 3 is tapped by the player, and the battle game image specified by the tapping operation is displayed. A specified location on the surface is identified, and an action based on the identified specified location is performed.

[0122] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the operational flow of input instruction processing by the input processing unit 255.

[0123] First, the input processing unit 255 receives a tap operation on the operation unit 23 from the player. Next, the input processing unit 100 identifies the designated position on the battle game screen (step S301). 255 determines whether or not a guide figure is displayed on the battle game screen ( Step S302).

[0124] Next, if it is determined that the guide figure is not displayed (step Step S302-No), select an attack as your character's action, and execute the attack ( Step S303), and proceed to step S308.

[0125] Furthermore, if it is determined that a guide figure is being displayed, the input processing unit 255 Step S302: Yes (YES) Whether the designated position identified in step S301 is included in the circular area It is determined whether or not the

[0126] Next, if it is determined that the designated position is included in the circular area (step S304-Yes), the process proceeds to step S303. If it is determined that the fixed position is not included in the circular area (step S304-No), step S It is determined whether the specified position identified in 301 is included in the first angle region (step S30 5).

[0127] Next, if it is determined that the designated position is included in the first angle region ( Step S305-Yes), select the skill activation as your character's action, The skill is activated (step S306), and the process proceeds to step S308. If it is determined that the designated position is not included in the first angle region (step S30), the processing unit 255 5-No), select Defense as your character's action, and execute Defense (Step S307), the process proceeds to step S308.

[0128] Next, if a guide figure is displayed, the input processing unit 255 erases the guide figure. Then, the input processing unit 255 performs the following operation based on the designated position identified in step S301. Create a new guide shape and display it on the battle game screen (step Step S308) to end the series of steps.

[0129] As described above, in the game system 1 of this embodiment, the player Easily prompt for multiple next actions based on previous taps This allows the player to feel the action without checking the user interface for inputting operations. This allows for more direct input, improving the operability of battle games. become.

[0130] In addition, the circular area B1 centered on the specified position is used to display attacks and other actions that require continuous operation (rapid taps). By associating actions with the guide shapes, you can perform continuous operations while displaying the guide shapes. It is possible to improve the operability of the battle game. The number of angular regions to be covered may be greater than this.

[0131] FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram for explaining another example of the guide figure A. In FIG.

[0132] The guide figure A is a circular figure A1 that defines a circular area B1 centered on the specified position, and the specified position is The first line figure A2 is located on the first straight line passing through the specified position, and the second line figure A3 is located on the second straight line passing through the specified position. The second line figure A3, the third line figure A4 located on the third straight line passing through the specified position, and the specified The fourth line A5 is located on the fourth line passing through the position. The screen shows a circle A1, a first line A2, a second line A3, a third line A4, and The fourth line figure A5 defines a circular area B1, a first angle area B2, a second angle area B3, a third angle area B4, a fourth angle area B5, a fifth angle area B6, a sixth angle area B7, a sixth angle area B8, a sixth angle area B9, a sixth angle area B10, a sixth angle area B11, a sixth angle area B12, a sixth angle area B13, a sixth angle area B14, a sixth angle area B15, a sixth angle area B16, a sixth The first angular region B2 is divided into an angle A6 and a fourth angular region B4. The second angular region B3 is a region having an angle A7, and the third angular region B4 is a region having an angle A 8, and the fourth angle region B5 is a region having the circular region B1, the first angle region B2, the second angle region B3, The area other than the area B3 and the third angle area B4. By doing so, even if the number of actions associated with the angle region increases, the angle region can be This can be increased as needed, improving the operability of battle games. .

[0133] The input processing unit 255 adjusts the angle A6 to A8 depending on the state of the player's character. For example, the input processing unit 255 may change the size of the input for skill activation in the angle area B2. When a force instruction is associated, the greater the amount of MP of the player character, the greater the angle A6. As a result, the less MP there is, the smaller the angle area B2 becomes, and the more MP is consumed. This makes it possible to prevent the skill from being accidentally activated. If the input command for defense is assigned to 3, the player character's HP is low. The angle A7 is increased accordingly. As a result, the angle area B3 is increased accordingly. Therefore, when HP is low, it encourages you to choose defense to reduce the loss of HP from the opponent's attacks. At the same time, it will be possible to prevent erroneous input of actions other than defense.

[0134] The input processing unit 255 changes the size of each area according to the operation history of the player. For example, the circular area B1 may be associated with an input instruction for an attack that requires continuous operation (repeated taps). If the number of consecutive hits in the last three seconds exceeds a predetermined number, the input processing unit 255 In this way, the circular area B1 is enlarged to prevent the player from accidentally inputting repeated strokes. This becomes possible.

[0135] The input processing unit 255 determines whether the actions to be associated with each area of ​​the guide figure A are: In the case of a hierarchical data structure such as a tree structure, the input instruction process is performed using guide figures in stages. The input instruction process using the guide figure in stages will be described below.

[0136] FIG. 14(a) is a diagram illustrating an example of a plurality of actions having a hierarchical data structure. For example, in the upper hierarchy, actions are classified into skills, attacks, defenses, etc. Major classification items are set. Next, as a middle level, skills are classified into offensive, defensive, etc. Then, as a lower level, for example, attack skills are classified as fire attribute skills. Subcategories are set for skills, water attribute skills, etc. Each subcategory item in the lower hierarchy is , is the action that is the target of the input instruction.

[0137] FIG. 14(b) is a diagram illustrating an example of input instruction processing using guide figures in stages. The guide figure A is a circular area that is centered on the first specified position on the battle game screen. The angle range is divided into a first angle range B1, a second angle range B2, a third angle range B3, and a fourth angle range B4. For example, the first angle area B2 is associated with "skills" among the major classification items in the upper hierarchy, and the second angle area B3 is associated with "skills" among the major classification items in the upper hierarchy. The second angle area B3 is associated with "attack" among the major classification items in the upper hierarchy.

[0138] The player taps the first angle area B2 while the guide figure A is displayed. The guide figure A-1 will be displayed when you view the battle game screen for the second time. A circular area B1-1, a first angle area B2-1, and a second angle area B3-1 are centered on the specified position. , and the third angle region B4-1. For example, the first angle region B2-1 is the middle layer The second angle area B3-1 corresponds to the "attack" category of the middle classification items. It is associated with the "defense" category of classification items.

[0139] The player taps the first angle area B2-1 while the guide figure A-1 is displayed. When you operate the game, the guide figure A-2 will appear. The guide figure A-2 will , the third specified position is the center of the circular area B1-2, the first angle area B2-2, the second angle area For example, the first angle region B2-2 is divided into the following: The second angle area B3-2 corresponds to the "fire attribute skill" in the hierarchy. It corresponds to the "Water Attribute Skills" item in the hierarchy.

[0140] The player taps the first angle area B2-2 while the guide figure A-2 is displayed. When operated, a "fire attribute skill" is activated.

[0141] In this way, by using the input instruction process that uses guide figures in stages, it is possible to It is now possible to easily select items with a data structure by simply tapping. The input instruction process using the id figure in stages is not limited to the input instruction of the action. For example, it can be used to select a hierarchical menu. In addition to fields, any field can be selected as long as it has a hierarchical data structure. It can also be used in
