[0079] The game progression unit 333 includes a game start unit 332, a display data creation unit 334, and an automatic recovery setting unit. The display data received from the event execution unit 335 or the event execution unit 336 is passed to the control unit 331 .

[0080] The processing performed by the display data creation unit 334 will be described below. creates display data for displaying each screen and passes it to the game progression unit 333.

[0081] The display data creation unit 334 receives the game selection screen, battle point Auto-recovery settings screen, opponent selection screen, battle start screen, quest start screen, card settings Create display data for the screen, my page screen, shop screen, character selection screen, etc. The display data creation unit 334 receives the player management data stored in the server storage unit 32. The game progress unit 333 refers to the table and identifies the player corresponding to the player ID received from the game progress unit 333. At the same time, display data for each screen corresponding to the identified player is created.

[0082] The display data creation unit 334 creates display data for the battle point automatic recovery setting screen. In this case, the player management table is referenced and the card ID and battle points of the card used in the battle are Point, recovery item name, number owned and number automatically available, recovery point ownership Furthermore, the display data generating unit 334 extracts the values ​​and automatically usable values ​​from the server memory. The card management table stored in the memory 32 is referenced, and the card is extracted from the player management table. The name of the card corresponding to the card ID, the file name of the image data, the number of points consumed, and the attack Next, the display data creation unit 334 extracts the extracted information, "settings" button, "Back" button, "Select opponent" button, etc. are displayed in a predetermined layout. The screen display data for the battle point automatic recovery setting is created and passed to the game progression unit 333. The display data creation unit 334 also creates display data for the battle start screen. In this way, the information of the cards to be used in the battle is extracted from the card management table, and the battle begins. Creates the display data for the screen.

[0083] The following describes the processing performed by the automatic recovery setting unit 335. The automatic recovery setting unit 335 When the game progression unit 333 instructs the player to set automatic recovery of battle points, It accepts various settings and sets the automatic recovery of battle points.

[0084] When an instruction to set the automatic recovery of battle points is given, the automatic recovery setting unit 335 The player management table stored in the memory unit 32 is referenced, and the game progress unit 333 receives the The automatic recovery setting unit 335 identifies the player corresponding to the received player ID. The player management unit 333 manages the automatic recovery according to the settings included in the automatic recovery setting request received from the progress unit 333. The automatic recovery settings for battle points in the table, the number of recovery items that can be automatically used, and The automatic recovery setting unit 335 also sets the automatically available values ​​of the recovery point. In order to allow the player to check the content of the battle, the display data creation unit 334 is used in the same way as the display data creation unit 334. Display data for the point automatic recovery settings screen is created and passed to the game progression unit 333.

[0085] The processing by the event execution unit 336 will be described below. When the game progression unit 333 issues a command to execute a battle, the battle is executed.

[0086] When a command to execute a battle is issued, the event execution unit 336 executes the event stored in the server storage unit 32. The game progress unit 333 refers to the player management table stored in the Identify the player corresponding to D and the current battle points of that player. The event execution unit 336 extracts the card ID of the card that the identified player will use in the battle. Then, from the card management table, the attack power, vitality, and points consumed corresponding to the extracted card ID are Extract the number of cases, etc.

[0087] The event execution unit 336 calculates the current battle points by dividing the total number of battle points by the total number of cards used in the battle. The event execution unit 336 executes a battle on the condition that the number of points is equal to or greater than the number of points. The amount of damage to be done to the opponent's cards is determined based on the attack power of the player's cards used. Decide the damage amount and subtract it from the life force of your opponent's card. The execution unit 336 determines the damage to be inflicted on the player's card based on the attack strength of the opponent's card. The amount of damage is determined and subtracted from the life force of the player's card. If the life force of the opponent's card reaches 0 first, the event execution unit 336 If the life force of the player's card reaches 0 first, the player loses. It is determined that

[0088] In addition, when the event execution unit 336 executes a battle, it executes the battle By subtracting the number of points consumed from the points, the number of points consumed will be subtracted from the battle points. The event execution unit 336 also displays the battle performance image and the result content. Create battle execution screen display data and battle result screen display data for game progress. Pass it on to Department 333.

[0089] The following describes the processing performed by the automatic recovery unit 337. The automatic recovery unit 337 When the execution unit 336 determines that the battle points are less than the number of points to be consumed, Use recovery items to automatically restore battle points.

[0090] The automatic recovery unit 337 determines whether the automatic recovery setting of the battle points is set in the player management table. The number of valid and automatically usable recovery items you own will increase your battle point deficit. The number of items used is equal to or greater than the required number to recover (for example, 1), and the number of items used is automatically If the number of battle points is less than the available number, the automatic recovery unit 337 recovers the battle points. The recovery amount or number of times set for each recovery item is added to the battle points in the item management table. By adding a value according to the recovery rate, battle points are recovered. 337 is the upper limit of the battle points in the player management table set for each player. The automatic recovery unit 337 may recover the battle points by updating the Decrement (subtract 1) the number of recovery items owned in the Ear Management Table and use Furthermore, the automatic recovery unit 337 increments the number (adds 1) in the player management table. The automatic recovery unit 337 increments the number of automatic recovery times for the rule. If multiple types of recovery items are set as recovery items, they will be prioritized in advance. Use recovery items in order of priority (lowest or highest recovery amount or recovery rate). This priority may be set by the player.

[0091] On the other hand, the automatic recovery unit 337 also performs the following even if the battle points are less than the number of consumed points: If the automatic recovery setting for battle points is disabled in the player management table, Also, if the number of recovery items used exceeds the number of points that can be automatically used, If you have a stat, do not use recovery items and do not automatically recover battle points. In this case, the automatic recovery unit 337 displays the battle result to indicate that the battle points are insufficient. Screen display data is created and passed to the game progression unit 333.

[0092] In addition, the automatic recovery unit 337 may also be configured to automatically recover recovery points when the number of recovery items owned is less than the required number. If the value of the item is less than the required value to obtain the recovery item, or if the recovery points are If the amount of recovery points used exceeds the amount that can be automatically used, the recovery points will not be used and the battle points will be used. On the other hand, the automatic recovery unit 337 does not automatically recover the recovery point if the value of the recovery point is greater than the required value. If the recovery point usage value is equal to or less than the automatic available value, the recovery point is automatically The automatic recovery unit 337 exchanges the recovery items in the player management table. By increasing the number of systems owned and subtracting the required value from the recovery points, the recovery points will increase. Then, the automatic recovery unit 337 uses the recovery item to exchange the points for recovery items. The automatic recovery unit 337 recovers battle points by using the recovery icon. You can also use recovery points to recover battle points directly without exchanging them for a system.

[0093] In this way, the automatic recovery unit 337 automatically recovers battle points. Only the possible number and / or types of recovery items are used. To automatically restore the recovery points, only the recovery points with automatically available values ​​are used. This allows players to recover Battle Points even if the computer automatically restores them. This gives you the feeling that you are controlling the progress of the battle within a certain range.

[0094] The automatic recovery unit 337 recovers the battle points according to the number of times the battle points are automatically recovered. In this case, the automatic recovery unit 337 may change the recovery rate or amount of battle points. The more times you automatically recover your battle points, the greater the recovery rate or amount of battle points. The automatic recovery unit 337 recovers the battle points automatically when the battle is completed. The number of points to be consumed may be changed. In this case, the automatic recovery unit 337 The more the number of automatic point recovery times, the smaller the number of points consumed. 7 shows the recovery rate or amount of points automatically recovered by playing the game. It may be set larger than when recovering according to the layer instructions. The automatic recovery of points became attractive to players, and the automatic recovery function It is possible to improve the utilization rate.

[0095] In addition, other players related to the player are stored in the player management table, and The recovery unit 337 links the battle points of players who are related to each other and recovers the points of a specific player. If you automatically restore a player's Battle Points, other players associated with that player will also lose their Battle Points. For example, the automatic recovery unit 337 may automatically recover the battle points of a specific player. When automatically recovering a layer's battle points, if the player belongs to the same group as that player, The battle points of other players in the group will also be automatically restored. Only when a certain player's battle points have been automatically restored a certain number of times or when a random number generator is generated Only if you win by raw processing, etc., you can automatically recover other players' battle points. Also, the recovery rate or amount of other players' battle points may not be affected by the battle points of a specific player. The recovery rate or amount of Tor Points may be smaller than that of Tor Points. A player is not limited to other players who belong to the same group as the player, but also includes You can also battle with other players who are friends with the player, or with past enemy characters. Or it may be another player who rescued the player in the quest. This will also increase motivation to build cooperative relationships within the game.

[0096] In addition, the automatic recovery unit 337 performs automatic recovery according to the difficulty level of the battle (the level of the opponent). In this case, the automatic recovery unit 337 will The higher the level, the higher the number of automatic recovery times (or the upper limit). You can set the number of times your points will automatically recover to be equal to the number of times your points will reach 0 before you win. This allows you to set the number of auto-recovery attempts to a level that allows the event to proceed smoothly. This becomes possible.

[0097] In addition, cards used in battle may have attributes such as level or rarity. In this case, the automatic recovery unit 337 recovers the number of battle points according to the attributes of the cards used in the battle. The number of times of automatic recovery (or its upper limit) may be set. In this case, the automatic recovery unit 337 The higher the level or rarity of the card used in the rule, the more times (or the upper limit) the number of automatic recovery. This allows players to increase the number of automatic recovery times as their level increases. This will allow players to increase their motivation to improve their level. In addition, the automatic recovery unit 337 is configured to recover the number of times a player logs in, the number of times a battle is played, The number of automatic recoveries (or an upper limit thereof) may be determined depending on the number of players in a card relationship. In this case, the automatic recovery unit 337 checks the number of times the player has logged in, the number of times the player has played a battle, the number of times the player has played a friend, The higher the number of players in a relationship, the higher the number of automatic recoveries (or the upper limit thereof) is set. This will increase players' motivation to play the game, their motivation to participate in battles, and their in-game This will increase the willingness to build cooperative relationships.

[0098] The processing by the reward giving unit 338 will be described below. A bonus is given to the player according to the number of times the player recovers automatically.

[0099] When the automatic recovery unit 337 automatically recovers the owned points, the benefit providing unit 338 It is determined whether the number of automatic recovery times in the player management table is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, and If the result is above, the reward is given to the player. For example, a card of a specific character or a recovery item is given to the player. 38 indicates that the more automatic recovery times you have, the higher the rewards you will receive, such as cards with higher levels or rarity. This allows the player to automatically recover their points. This makes recovery more attractive and increases the utilization of the automatic recovery feature. do.

When the number of uses of the recovery item exceeds the number that can be automatically used (step S40 5 - Yes) Do not automatically restore battle points and display insufficient battle points The battle result screen display data for the 403), completing the steps.

[0133] On the other hand, the automatic recovery unit 337 detects whether the number of automatically usable recovery items owned is less than the required number. If so (step S404-No), the possession value of the recovery point is equal to the required recovery item. It is determined whether the value is equal to or greater than the required value for acquiring the system (step S406).

[0134] If the recovery point possession value is less than the required value (step S40 6-No), instead of automatically recovering battle points, it will display that you are short of battle points. The battle result screen display data for the 03) to complete the series of steps.

[0135] On the other hand, if the owned value of the recovery point is equal to or greater than the required value (step S406-Yes), determine whether the recovery point usage value exceeds the automatic available value. (Step S407).

[0136] The automatic recovery unit 337 is configured to recover the used value of the recovery point when the used value of the recovery point exceeds the automatically available value (step Step S407 - Yes), instead of automatically recovering battle points, The game progress unit 333 creates battle result screen display data to display the battle result. (Step S403).

[0137] On the other hand, if the usage value of the recovery point is equal to or less than the automatic usable value, the automatic recovery unit 337 (Step S407-No), and exchange the recovery points for recovery items (Step S408 ), and the process proceeds to step S409.

[0138] In step S409, the automatic recovery unit 337 recovers the battle points (step Top S409).

[0139] Next, the benefit providing unit 338 determines whether the number of automatic recovery times is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (step Step S410).

[0140] If the number of automatic recovery times is less than the predetermined number of times (step S410-N), the bonus granting unit 338 o), no particular processing is performed and the process proceeds to step S412. If the number of automatic recovery times is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (step S410-Yes), The bonus is awarded (step S411), and the process proceeds to step S412.

[0141] In step S412, the event execution unit 336 executes a battle (step S 412).

[0142] Next, the event execution unit 336 consumes the number of consumption points from the battle points ( Step S413).

[0143] Next, the event execution unit 336 generates a battle image for displaying the battle performance image and the result content. The game execution screen display data and the battle result screen display data are created and passed to the game progression unit 333. (Step S414), and the series of steps ends.

[0144] As explained above, when the battle points fall below a predetermined value, the server 3: Battle points are automatically used by players to recover points or items they own. This prevents interruptions to the game and allows players to continue playing. This will enable them to maintain their motivation to continue.

[0145] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. We have explained the example of a battle being an event in a game provided by Server 3, but events can also be It can also be a quest that progresses according to the game scenario. It is also called a session, and is cleared by fighting, acquiring items, etc. The game is presented in multiple stages. By carrying out quests, players can It is possible to develop characters and acquire special items and other perks.

[0146] In this case, the server storage unit 32 stores information about the quest as well as the information about the battle. The card ID of the card you want to use, the quest points you have to execute the quest, Information about points, auto-recovery settings, information about recovery items, and the number of auto-recoveries. Information about recovery points is stored for both battles and quests. The home screen also has a button for "Battle Point Auto Recovery Settings" as well as a button for "Quest The "Automatic Point Recovery Settings" button will be displayed. "Automatic Quest Point Recovery Settings" button When you tap, the automatic recovery of quest points will be set, similar to the automatic recovery of battle points setting screen. The Quest Point Auto Recovery Settings screen will be displayed. 336, when the quest execution is instructed from the quest start screen, quest points are allocated. The quest will be executed if the value is equal to or greater than the set value, and the quest points will be deducted from the set value. The automatic recovery unit 337 recovers quest points when the quest points fall below a predetermined value. Use quest point recovery items or quest point recovery items to automatically recover quest points. The amount of energy consumed is the same as in battles, but it is used in quests. This is the number of points consumed for the character's card. Note that if a character's card is used in a quest, If not used, a predetermined value to be consumed may be set according to the difficulty of the quest. Alternatively, the predetermined amount of consumption may be a fixed value.

[0147] Furthermore, if a game event includes both a battle and a quest, the automatic recovery unit 337: Linking battle points and quest points allows you to If you automatically restore the points owned by one of the two, the points owned by the other will also be restored automatically. In that case, for example, if the automatic recovery of points owned by one party is performed a predetermined number of times or more, Only if the winner is a winner or if the winner is a winner through a random number generator, etc., the points owned by the other party will be used. You can also recover points automatically. In addition, the recovery rate or amount of points of the side recovering points will be linked. The recovery rate or amount of points may be less than that of the side that recovered first. This makes automatic point recovery attractive to players, and This makes it possible to improve the utilization rate of the dynamic recovery function.

[0148] In this embodiment, automatic recovery settings can be made from both the home screen and the battle start screen. However, either one of them may be omitted.

[0149] In addition, in this embodiment, the server 3 executes the game, but the server 3 may be omitted. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 2 may control the game. In this case, the terminal storage unit 22 stores the player management table. The card management table and the like are stored in the table. The terminal processing unit 25 includes the respective units shown in FIG. 2 as well as the respective units of the server processing unit 33 of the server 3. The terminal processing unit 25 transmits each piece of information to the terminal communication unit 21 and the server. Instead of transmitting and receiving via the terminal communication unit 31, transmission and reception are performed within the terminal processing unit 25.

[0150] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, substitutions, and alterations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It should be understood that additions to this are possible. [Explanation of symbols]
