Description

ゲームシステム、管理サーバ、表示管理方法およびプログラムGAME SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT SERVER, DISPLAY MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM
　本発明は、利用者間の相互関係（以下「仲間関係」という）が構築されるゲームを提供する技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a technique for providing a game in which a mutual relationship between users (hereinafter referred to as “companional relationship”) is constructed.
　利用者間で仲間関係を構築しながら進行するゲームが従来から提案されている。例えば非特許文献１には、利用者間で仲間関係が構築され、仲間関係にある利用者が戦闘等のイベントで相互に協力したり仲間関係にある利用者間でアイテムやメッセージを授受したりすることが可能なソーシャルゲームが提案されている。 A game that progresses while building friendships between users has been proposed. For example, in Non-Patent Document 1, a friendship relationship is established among users, and a user who is in a fellowship relationship cooperates in an event such as a battle, or exchanges items or messages between users who are in a peer relationship. Social games that can be played are proposed.
　例えばＳＮＳ（Social Networking Service）等のサービスでは複数種のゲームが利用者に提供され、利用者間の仲間関係はゲーム毎に独立に構築される。すなわち、ひとつのゲームＧAで構築された仲間関係を他のゲームＧBに承継することはできず、利用者は、ゲームＧAで既に相当の仲間関係を構築している場合でも、ゲームＧBを開始する場合には最初から仲間関係を構築し直す必要がある。ゲームＧAで仲間関係にある他の利用者をゲームＧB内で検索して仲間関係を構築できれば、ゲームＧA内での仲間関係と同等の仲間関係をゲームＧBでも構築することは可能であるが、利用者を検索するために名前等の入力等の煩雑な作業が必要で利用者の負担が大きいという問題がある。以上の事情を考慮して、本発明は、利用者の負担を低減しながら、ひとつのゲームで構築された仲間関係を他のゲームでも構築することを目的とする。 For example, in a service such as SNS (Social Networking Service), a plurality of types of games are provided to users, and friendships between users are established independently for each game. In other words, a friendship relationship established in one game GA cannot be inherited to another game GB, and the user starts the game GB even if a considerable friendship relationship has already been established in the game GA. In some cases, it is necessary to reestablish friendships from the beginning. If you can search for other users who are in the game GA and search for other users in the game GB and build a friendship, you can build a friendship in the game GB that is equivalent to that in the game GA. In order to search for a user, there is a problem that a complicated operation such as input of a name or the like is required and a burden on the user is large. In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to construct a friendship constructed in one game in another game while reducing the burden on the user.

The game system 100 of the first embodiment is a computer system that provides a game to the user of the terminal device 12, and includes a management server 20 and a plurality of game servers 30 (30A, 30B). The management server 20 provides SNS such as message exchange between users to registered users, and each game server 30 provides a game to users who want to play a game among registered users. I will provide a. Each game server 30 provides a separate game to the user. In FIG. 1, the game server 30A that provides the game GA and the game server 30B that provides the game GB are illustrated for convenience, but in reality, a large number of game servers 30 are installed and each provides a separate game. .
　各ゲームサーバ３０が提供するゲームは、利用者間で仲間関係を構築しながら各種のイベントを実行するソーシャルゲームであり、典型的にはブラウザゲームとして各端末装置１２に提供される。利用者は、自身と仲間関係にある他の利用者と協力してゲーム内のイベントを達成したり、アイテムやメッセージを相互に授受したりすることが可能である。すなわち、多数の利用者と仲間関係を構築することで各利用者はゲームを有利に展開できる。 The game provided by each game server 30 is a social game that executes various events while building friendships between users, and is typically provided to each terminal device 12 as a browser game. Users can achieve in-game events and exchange items and messages with each other in cooperation with other users. That is, each user can develop a game advantageously by building friendships with many users.
　各端末装置１２は、例えば携帯電話機等の通信端末であり、表示装置１２２と入力装置１２４とを具備する。表示装置１２２（例えば液晶表示パネル）は、ゲームシステム１００が提供するウェブページ等の各種の画像を表示する。入力装置１２４は、端末装置１２に対する指示を利用者が入力するための機器であり、例えば利用者が操作する複数の操作子を含んで構成される。なお、表示装置１２２と一体に構成されて利用者による操作を受付けるタッチパネルや、端末装置１２に対する指示を利用者が音声で入力するためのマイクロホンを入力装置１２４として採用することも可能である。また、端末装置１２による通信は典型的には無線通信であるが、例えば据置型のパーソナルコンピュータ等を端末装置１２として利用する場合には端末装置１２は有線通信する。 Each terminal device 12 is a communication terminal such as a mobile phone, and includes a display device 122 and an input device 124. The display device 122 (for example, a liquid crystal display panel) displays various images such as a web page provided by the game system 100. The input device 124 is a device for a user to input an instruction to the terminal device 12 and includes, for example, a plurality of operators operated by the user. Note that a touch panel that is configured integrally with the display device 122 and receives an operation by the user, or a microphone that allows the user to input an instruction to the terminal device 12 by voice can be employed as the input device 124. The communication by the terminal device 12 is typically wireless communication. However, for example, when a stationary personal computer or the like is used as the terminal device 12, the terminal device 12 performs wired communication.
　管理サーバ２０は、通信網１６（例えばインターネット）を介して各端末装置１２と通信するウェブサーバであり、制御装置２２と記憶装置２４と通信装置２６とを具備する。通信装置２６は、通信網１６を介して各端末装置１２と通信するとともに複数のゲームサーバ３０の各々と通信する。すなわち、各ゲームサーバ３０と端末装置１２との間の通信を中継する中継装置としても機能する。 The management server 20 is a web server that communicates with each terminal device 12 via the communication network 16 (for example, the Internet), and includes a control device 22, a storage device 24, and a communication device 26. The communication device 26 communicates with each terminal device 12 via the communication network 16 and also communicates with each of the plurality of game servers 30. That is, it also functions as a relay device that relays communication between each game server 30 and the terminal device 12.
　制御装置２２は、各端末装置１２にＳＮＳを提供するための各種の処理を実行する。具体的には、制御装置２２は、入力装置１２４に対する操作を契機として端末装置１２から送信される要求に応じた処理を実行し、処理結果を示すウェブページの画像データを通信装置２６から端末装置１２に送信することで要求元の端末装置１２の表示装置１２２にウェブページを表示させる。例えば、制御装置２２は、利用者毎に用意されたＳＮＳのウェブページ（以下「個別ページ」という）を各利用者の端末装置１２に表示させる。 The control device 22 executes various processes for providing the SNS to each terminal device 12. Specifically, the control device 22 executes processing in response to a request transmitted from the terminal device 12 in response to an operation on the input device 124, and transmits image data of a web page indicating the processing result from the communication device 26 to the terminal device. 12, the web page is displayed on the display device 122 of the requesting terminal device 12. For example, the control device 22 displays the SNS web page (hereinafter referred to as “individual page”) prepared for each user on the terminal device 12 of each user.
　記憶装置２４は、制御装置２２が実行するプログラムや制御装置２２が使用する各種の情報を記憶する。半導体記録媒体や磁気記録媒体等の公知の記録媒体または複数種の記録媒体の組合せが記憶装置２４として採用され得る。なお、管理サーバ２０とは別個の外部装置（例えばサーバ装置）に記憶装置２４を設置し、管理サーバ２０が通信網１６を介して記憶装置２４から情報を取得する構成も採用され得る。すなわち、記憶装置２４は管理サーバ２０の必須の要件ではない。また、地理的に相異なる位置に設置された複数のサーバで記憶装置２４（仮想的な１個の記憶装置）を構成することも可能である。 The storage device 24 stores programs executed by the control device 22 and various information used by the control device 22. A known recording medium such as a semiconductor recording medium or a magnetic recording medium or a combination of a plurality of types of recording media can be employed as the storage device 24. A configuration in which the storage device 24 is installed in an external device (for example, a server device) separate from the management server 20 and the management server 20 acquires information from the storage device 24 via the communication network 16 may be employed. That is, the storage device 24 is not an essential requirement for the management server 20. It is also possible to configure the storage device 24 (virtual one storage device) with a plurality of servers installed at geographically different positions.
　第１実施形態の記憶装置２４は、図１に示すように、会員情報ＱAと履歴情報ＱBと仲間情報ＱCとを利用者毎に記憶する。会員情報ＱAは、利用者に関連する情報であり、識別情報ＱA1と属性情報ＱA2と通貨情報ＱA3とを含んで構成される。識別情報ＱA1は、例えば会員登録時に利用者に付与されて各利用者を一意に識別可能な符号である。属性情報ＱA2は、利用者の名前や性別や年齢等の属性を指定する。通貨情報ＱA3は、利用者がＳＮＳで使用可能な仮想通貨の数量を指定する。利用者は、例えば現実の通貨と引換えに仮想通貨を獲得することが可能である。 As shown in FIG. 1, the storage device 24 of the first embodiment stores member information QA, history information QB, and fellow information QC for each user. The member information QA is information related to the user, and includes identification information QA1, attribute information QA2, and currency information QA3. The identification information QA1 is a code that is given to a user at the time of member registration, for example, and can uniquely identify each user. The attribute information QA2 specifies attributes such as the user's name, sex, and age. The currency information QA3 designates the quantity of virtual currency that the user can use in SNS. For example, the user can acquire virtual currency in exchange for real currency.
　履歴情報ＱBは、ゲームシステム１００が提供する複数種のゲームのうち利用者が過去にプレイしたことがあるゲーム（プレイ履歴）を示す情報である。仲間情報ＱCは、利用者が過去にプレイしたゲーム毎に生成および記憶され、各ゲーム内で利用者と仲間関係にある他の利用者の識別情報ＱA1を指定する。すなわち、利用者間の仲間関係はゲーム毎に独立に構築および管理される。 History information QB is information indicating a game (play history) that the user has played in the past among a plurality of types of games provided by the game system 100. The companion information QC is generated and stored for each game played by the user in the past, and specifies the identification information QA1 of other users who have a companionship relationship with the user in each game. That is, the friendship between users is established and managed independently for each game.
　各ゲームサーバ３０は、管理サーバ２０および通信網１６を介して各端末装置１２と通信するウェブサーバであり、制御装置３２と記憶装置３４と通信装置３６とを具備する。通信装置３６は、管理サーバ２０と通信する。制御装置３２は、端末装置１２にゲームを提供するための各種の処理を実行する。具体的には、制御装置３２は、入力装置１２４に対する操作を契機として端末装置１２から送信される要求に応じた処理を実行し、処理結果を示すウェブページの画像データを通信装置３６から端末装置１２に送信することで要求元の端末装置１２の表示装置１２２にウェブページを表示させる。例えば、制御装置３２は、そのゲームサーバ３０が提供するゲームの画面のウェブページ（以下「ゲームページ」という）を利用者の端末装置１２に表示させる。 Each game server 30 is a web server that communicates with each terminal device 12 via the management server 20 and the communication network 16, and includes a control device 32, a storage device 34, and a communication device 36. The communication device 36 communicates with the management server 20. The control device 32 executes various processes for providing the terminal device 12 with a game. Specifically, the control device 32 executes processing in response to a request transmitted from the terminal device 12 in response to an operation on the input device 124, and transmits image data of a web page indicating the processing result from the communication device 36 to the terminal device. 12, the web page is displayed on the display device 122 of the requesting terminal device 12. For example, the control device 32 causes the terminal device 12 of the user to display a web page (hereinafter referred to as “game page”) of a game screen provided by the game server 30.
　記憶装置３４は、制御装置３２が実行するプログラムや制御装置３２が使用する各種の情報を記憶する。半導体記録媒体や磁気記録媒体等の公知の記録媒体または複数種の記録媒体の組合せが記憶装置３４として採用され得る。なお、ゲームサーバ３０とは別個の外部装置（例えばサーバ装置）に記憶装置３４を設置し、ゲームサーバ３０が通信網１６を介して記憶装置３４から情報を取得する構成も採用され得る。すなわち、記憶装置３４はゲームサーバ３０の必須の要件ではない。また、地理的に相異なる位置に設置された複数のサーバで記憶装置３４を構成することも可能である。 The storage device 34 stores programs executed by the control device 32 and various information used by the control device 32. A known recording medium such as a semiconductor recording medium or a magnetic recording medium or a combination of a plurality of types of recording media may be employed as the storage device 34. A configuration in which the storage device 34 is installed in an external device (for example, a server device) separate from the game server 30 and the game server 30 acquires information from the storage device 34 via the communication network 16 may be employed. That is, the storage device 34 is not an essential requirement for the game server 30. It is also possible to configure the storage device 34 with a plurality of servers installed at geographically different positions.
　第１実施形態の記憶装置３４は、そのゲームサーバ３０が提供するゲームを過去にプレイしたことがある利用者毎にプレイ情報Ｐを記憶する。プレイヤ情報Ｐは、図１に示すように、属性情報Ｐ1とゲーム情報Ｐ2とを含んで構成される。属性情報Ｐ1は、利用者の名前等の属性を指定する。ゲーム情報Ｐ2は、ゲームの進行状況に応じたデータである。例えば、ゲーム情報Ｐ2は、利用者の能力値（例えばレベル，体力，攻撃力，防御力）や利用者がゲーム内で獲得したアイテムを指定する。 The storage device 34 of the first embodiment stores play information P for each user who has played a game provided by the game server 30 in the past. As shown in FIG. 1, the player information P includes attribute information P1 and game information P2. The attribute information P1 specifies an attribute such as a user name. The game information P2 is data corresponding to the progress of the game. For example, the game information P2 specifies a user's ability value (for example, level, physical strength, attack power, defense power) and items acquired by the user in the game.
　第１実施形態の動作を以下に説明する。以下の説明では、ゲームサーバ３０Aが提供するゲームＧAをプレイしたことがある任意の利用者Ｕ1および利用者Ｕ2に便宜的に着目する。ゲームＧAについては利用者Ｕ1と利用者Ｕ2との間に仲間関係が既に成立している。すなわち、ゲームＧAに対応する利用者Ｕ1の仲間情報ＱCには利用者Ｕ2の識別情報ＱA1が登録され、ゲームＧAに対応する利用者Ｕ2の仲間情報ＱCには利用者Ｕ1の識別情報ＱA1が登録されている。他方、利用者Ｕ1および利用者Ｕ2は、ゲームサーバ３０Bが提供するゲームＧBをプレイしたことはあるが、ゲームＧBについては両者間の仲間関係が未だ構築されていない。以上の状況を想定し、利用者Ｕ2が利用者Ｕ1との間でゲームＧB内の仲間関係を構築する場合の動作を以下では説明する。 The operation of the first embodiment will be described below. In the following description, attention is given for convenience to any user U1 and user U2 who have played the game GA provided by the game server 30A. As for the game GA, a friendship has already been established between the user U1 and the user U2. That is, the identification information QA1 of the user U2 is registered in the fellow information QC of the user U1 corresponding to the game GA, and the identification information QA1 of the user U1 is registered in the fellow information QC of the user U2 corresponding to the game GA. Has been. On the other hand, the user U1 and the user U2 have played the game GB provided by the game server 30B, but the friendship between the two has not yet been established for the game GB. Assuming the above situation, the operation when the user U2 establishes a friendship in the game GB with the user U1 will be described below.
　ゲームＧAのプレイ中に利用者Ｕ2が入力装置１２４に所定の操作を付与すると、ゲームサーバ３０Aの制御装置３２は、利用者Ｕ2と仲間関係にある利用者（すなわちゲームＧAについて利用者Ｕ2の仲間情報ＱCに識別情報ＱA1が指定された利用者）のリストを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２の表示装置１２２に表示させる。そして、利用者Ｕ2が入力装置１２４を操作してリストから所望の利用者Ｕ1を選択すると、ゲームサーバ３０Aの制御装置３２は、図２に示すように、ゲームＧAに関する利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷAを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２の表示装置１２２に表示させる。 When the user U2 gives a predetermined operation to the input device 124 during the play of the game GA, the control device 32 of the game server 30A is a user who has a friendship relationship with the user U2 (i.e. A list of users whose identification information QA1 is specified in the information QC is displayed on the display device 122 of the terminal device 12 of the user U2. When the user U2 operates the input device 124 and selects a desired user U1 from the list, the control device 32 of the game server 30A, as shown in FIG. 2, displays the game page WA of the user U1 related to the game GA. Is displayed on the display device 122 of the terminal device 12 of the user U2.
　利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷAは、利用者Ｕ1に関する関連情報ＷA1と、仲間解除部ＷA2および操作受付部ＷA3とを含むウェブページである。図２の関連情報ＷA1は、ゲームＧAについて利用者Ｕ1の属性情報Ｐ1が指定する名前（“User Ｕ1”）と、ゲームＧAのゲーム情報Ｐ2が指定する能力値（レベル：１６）と、利用者Ｕ1の仲間情報ＱCがゲームＧAについて指定する仲間の総数（仲間数：１３）と、利用者Ｕ1の通貨情報ＱA3が指定する仮想通貨の数量（通貨量：１２０）とを含んで構成される。 The game page WA of the user U1 is a web page including related information WA1 related to the user U1, a friend release unit WA2, and an operation reception unit WA3. The related information WA1 in FIG. 2 includes the name specified by the attribute information P1 of the user U1 for the game GA (“User に つ い て U1”), the ability value specified by the game information P2 of the game GA (level: 16), and the user The total number of friends specified by the friend information QC of U1 for the game GA (number of friends: 13) and the amount of virtual currency (currency amount: 120) specified by the currency information QA3 of the user U1 are configured.
　仲間解除部ＷA2および操作受付部ＷA3は、他のウェブページに対するリンクが設定された画像（リンクテキストやコマンドボタン等のリンクオブジェクト）であり、利用者Ｕ2からの操作を受付ける。利用者Ｕ2が仲間解除部ＷA2を操作した場合、ゲームサーバ３０Aの制御装置３２は、利用者Ｕ1と利用者Ｕ2との仲間関係の解消を示すゲームページを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させ、管理サーバ２０の制御装置２２は利用者Ｕ1と利用者Ｕ2との仲間関係を解消する。すなわち、ゲームＧAについて、利用者Ｕ1の仲間情報ＱCから利用者Ｕ2の識別情報ＱA1が削除されるとともに利用者Ｕ2の仲間情報ＱCから利用者Ｕ1の識別情報ＱA1が削除される。 Associate release unit WA2 and operation accepting unit WA3 are images (link objects such as link text and command buttons) in which links to other web pages are set, and accept operations from user U2. When the user U2 operates the friend release unit WA2, the control device 32 of the game server 30A causes the terminal device 12 of the user U2 to display a game page indicating the cancellation of the friendship between the user U1 and the user U2. The control device 22 of the management server 20 cancels the friendship between the user U1 and the user U2. That is, for the game GA, the identification information QA1 of the user U2 is deleted from the fellow information QC of the user U1, and the identification information QA1 of the user U1 is deleted from the fellow information QC of the user U2.
　他方、操作受付部ＷA3には、管理サーバ２０が提供する利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSに対するリンクが設定される。すなわち、利用者Ｕ2が操作受付部ＷA3を操作すると、管理サーバ２０の制御装置２２は、図２に例示する利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる。以上の説明から理解されるように、ゲームサーバ３０Aの制御装置３２は、利用者Ｕ1の情報（関連情報ＷA1）と、利用者Ｕ2からの操作を受付けて利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSにリンクする操作受付部ＷA3とを含むゲームページＷAを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる要素（第１表示制御部）として機能する。 On the other hand, a link to the individual page WS of the user U1 provided by the management server 20 is set in the operation reception unit WA3. That is, when the user U2 operates the operation receiving unit WA3, the control device 22 of the management server 20 displays the individual page WS of the user U1 illustrated in FIG. 2 on the terminal device 12 of the user U2. As understood from the above description, the control device 32 of the game server 30A accepts the information of the user U1 (related information WA1) and the operation from the user U2, and links to the individual page WS of the user U1. It functions as an element (first display control unit) for displaying the game page WA including the operation reception unit WA3 on the terminal device 12 of the user U2.
　図２に例示された利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSは、利用者Ｕ1に関する関連情報ＷS1と履歴領域ＷS2とを含むウェブページである。図２の関連情報ＷS1は、利用者Ｕ1の会員情報ＱAのうち属性情報ＱA2が指定する利用者Ｕ1の名前（“User Ｕ1”）を含む。 The individual page WS of the user U1 illustrated in FIG. 2 is a web page including related information WS1 related to the user U1 and a history area WS2. The related information WS1 in FIG. 2 includes the name ("UserＵU1") of the user U1 specified by the attribute information QA2 among the member information QA of the user U1.
　履歴領域ＷS2は、利用者Ｕ1の履歴情報ＱBが指定するゲーム（すなわち、利用者Ｕ1が過去にプレイしたことがあるゲーム）毎に操作受付部Ｌ1と付加情報Ｌ2とが配置された領域である。各ゲームの操作受付部Ｌ1は、そのゲームのゲームページに対するリンクが設定された画像（例えばゲームの名称やキャラクタを配置したリンクオブジェクト）であり、利用者Ｕ2からの操作を受付ける。図２では、利用者Ｕ1が過去にプレイしたゲームＧAとゲームＧBとゲームＧCとの操作受付部Ｌ1が例示されている。利用者Ｕ2は、個別ページＷSの履歴領域ＷS2を視認することで、利用者Ｕ1が過去にプレイしたゲームを確認することが可能である。 The history area WS2 is an area in which the operation reception unit L1 and the additional information L2 are arranged for each game specified by the history information QB of the user U1 (that is, a game that the user U1 has played in the past). . The operation accepting unit L1 of each game is an image (for example, a link object in which a game name or a character is arranged) in which a link to the game page of the game is set, and accepts an operation from the user U2. FIG. 2 illustrates an operation receiving unit L1 for the game GA, the game GB, and the game GC that the user U1 has played in the past. The user U2 can confirm the game played by the user U1 in the past by visually checking the history area WS2 of the individual page WS.
　付加情報Ｌ2は、利用者Ｕ1が過去にプレイした各ゲームについて利用者Ｕ2のプレイ状況を示す。具体的には、各ゲームの付加情報Ｌ2は、利用者Ｕ2がそのゲーム内で利用者Ｕ1と仲間関係にあるか否か（仲間関係の有無）と、利用者Ｕ2がそのゲームを過去にプレイしたか否か（プレイの有無）とを示す。以上の構成によれば、利用者Ｕ1との仲間関係を構築すべきゲーム（利用者Ｕ1との仲間関係が成立していないゲーム）や自身が未プレイのゲームを利用者Ｕ2が容易に把握できるという利点がある。 The additional information L2 indicates the play situation of the user U2 for each game played by the user U1 in the past. Specifically, the additional information L2 of each game indicates whether or not the user U2 has a friendship relationship with the user U1 in the game (whether or not there is a friendship relationship), and the user U2 has played the game in the past. It indicates whether or not (played or not). According to the above configuration, the user U2 can easily grasp a game that should establish a friendship relationship with the user U1 (a game in which a friendship relationship with the user U1 is not established) or a game that has not yet been played. There is an advantage.
　図３は、管理サーバ２０の制御装置２２が利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる処理のフローチャートである。利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷAの操作受付部ＷA3に対する操作を契機として図４の処理が開始される。制御装置２２は、利用者Ｕ1の履歴情報ＱBで指定される１種類以上のゲームの何れか（以下「対象ゲーム」という）を選択し（ＳA11）、対象ゲームの操作受付部Ｌ1および付加情報Ｌ2を設定する単位処理ＳBを実行する。制御装置２２は、利用者Ｕ1が過去にプレイした各ゲームを順次に対象ゲームとして選択して単位処理ＳBを実行し（ＳA12：NO）、全部のゲームについて単位処理が完了すると（ＳA12：YES）、各単位処理ＳBでゲーム毎に設定された操作受付部Ｌ1と付加情報Ｌ2とを含む利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる（ＳA13）。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a process in which the control device 22 of the management server 20 displays the individual page WS of the user U1 on the terminal device 12 of the user U2. The process shown in FIG. 4 is started when the user U1 operates the operation reception unit WA3 of the game page WA. The control device 22 selects one of one or more types of games specified by the history information QB of the user U1 (hereinafter referred to as “target game”) (SA11), and the operation accepting unit L1 and additional information L2 of the target game The unit process SB for setting is executed. The control device 22 sequentially selects each game played by the user U1 as a target game and executes the unit processing SB (SA12: NO). When the unit processing is completed for all the games (SA12: YES). Then, the individual page WS of the user U1 including the operation receiving unit L1 and the additional information L2 set for each game in each unit process SB is displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user U2 (SA13).
　単位処理ＳBの具体的な内容を説明する。単位処理ＳBを開始すると、制御装置２２は、利用者Ｕ2の履歴情報ＱBを参照することで、利用者Ｕ2が対象ゲームをプレイした経験があるか否かを判定する（ＳB11）。利用者Ｕ2が対象ゲームを過去にプレイしていない場合（ＳB11：NO）、制御装置２２は、対象ゲームの開始用のゲームページ（以下「ログインページ」という）に対するリンクを対象ゲームの操作受付部Ｌ1に設定し（ＳB12）、対象ゲームの付加情報Ｌ2を「未プレイ」に設定する（ＳB13）。具体的には、利用者Ｕ1が過去にプレイしたゲームＧCを利用者Ｕ2がプレイしていない場合、図２に示すように、ゲームＧCの付加情報Ｌ2は「未プレイ」に設定されるとともに、ゲームＧCの操作受付部Ｌ1はゲームＧCのログインページＷCにリンクする。 The specific contents of the unit processing SB will be described. When the unit process SB is started, the control device 22 determines whether or not the user U2 has played the target game by referring to the history information QB of the user U2 (SB11). When the user U2 has not played the target game in the past (SB11: NO), the control device 22 provides a link to the game page for starting the target game (hereinafter referred to as “login page”) as the operation accepting unit of the target game. L1 is set (SB12), and the additional information L2 of the target game is set to “unplayed” (SB13). Specifically, when the user U2 has not played the game GC that the user U1 has played in the past, the additional information L2 of the game GC is set to “unplayed” as shown in FIG. The operation receiving unit L1 of the game GC links to the login page WC of the game GC.
　すなわち、個別ページＷSのうちゲームＧCの操作受付部Ｌ1を利用者Ｕ2が操作すると、ゲームＧCのゲームサーバ３０の制御装置３２は、図２に示すように、操作受付部Ｌ1にリンクしたゲームＧCのログインページＷCを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる。ログインページＷCは、利用者Ｕ2がゲームＧCを開始するためのウェブページである。具体的には、ログインページＷCは、ゲームＧCについて利用者Ｕ2の属性情報Ｐ1が指定する名前（“User U2”）等の関連情報ＷC1と開始指示部ＷC2とを含んで構成される。利用者Ｕ2は、開始指示部ＷC2を操作することでゲームＧCを開始することが可能である。すなわち、利用者Ｕ2をゲームＧCに誘導できるという利点がある。 That is, when the user U2 operates the operation receiving unit L1 of the game GC in the individual page WS, the control device 32 of the game server 30 of the game GC has a game GC linked to the operation receiving unit L1 as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user U2. The login page WC is a web page for the user U2 to start the game GC. Specifically, the login page WC includes related information WC1 such as a name (“User U2”) designated by the attribute information P1 of the user U2 for the game GC and a start instruction unit WC2. The user U2 can start the game GC by operating the start instruction unit WC2. That is, there is an advantage that the user U2 can be guided to the game GC.
　利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷS内の操作受付部Ｌ1からリンクしたログインページＷCにて利用者Ｕ2がゲームＧCを開始すると、管理サーバ２０の制御装置２２は、利用者Ｕ1に特典を付与する（ＳC11）。特典は、利用者Ｕ2をゲームＧCに誘導したことに対する報償に相当する。具体的には、仮想通貨が利用者Ｕ1に特典として付与される。すなわち、制御装置２２は、利用者Ｕ1の通貨情報ＱA3が指定する仮想通貨の数量に所定値を加算する。以上の構成によれば、自身の個別ページＷSを基点として多数の利用者が未プレイのゲームを開始する（特典を獲得できる）ように、各ゲームにおける利用者間の仲間関係を深化させようとする誘因や、自身の個別ページＷSに多数の操作受付部Ｌ1を表示させるために多数のゲームをプレイしようとする誘因が利用者に付与される。 When the user U2 starts the game GC on the login page WC linked from the operation reception unit L1 in the individual page WS of the user U1, the control device 22 of the management server 20 grants a privilege to the user U1 (SC11). ). The privilege corresponds to a reward for guiding the user U2 to the game GC. Specifically, virtual currency is given to the user U1 as a privilege. That is, the control device 22 adds a predetermined value to the quantity of virtual currency specified by the currency information QA3 of the user U1. According to the above configuration, an attempt is made to deepen the friendship between users in each game so that a large number of users start an unplayed game (obtain benefits) based on their own individual page WS. The user is given an incentive to play a large number of games in order to display a large number of operation reception units L1 on his / her own individual page WS.
　他方、図３のステップＳB11にて利用者Ｕ2が対象ゲームを過去にプレイしたことがあると判定した場合、管理サーバ２０の制御装置２２は、利用者Ｕ1または利用者Ｕ2の仲間情報ＱCを参照することで、利用者Ｕ1と利用者Ｕ2とが対象ゲーム内で仲間関係にあるか否かを判定する（ＳB14）。利用者Ｕ1と利用者Ｕ2とが仲間関係にある場合（ＳB14：YES）、制御装置２２は、対象ゲームにおける利用者Ｕ1の仲間用のゲームページに対するリンクを対象ゲームの操作受付部Ｌ1に設定し（ＳB15）、対象ゲームの付加情報Ｌ2を「仲間関係」に設定する（ＳB16）。 On the other hand, when it is determined in step SB11 in FIG. 3 that the user U2 has played the target game in the past, the control device 22 of the management server 20 refers to the user U1 or the companion information QC of the user U2. By doing so, it is determined whether or not the user U1 and the user U2 are in a friendship relationship in the target game (SB14). When the user U1 and the user U2 are in a fellow relationship (SB14: YES), the control device 22 sets a link to the game page for the user U1 in the target game in the operation reception unit L1 of the target game. (SB15), the additional information L2 of the target game is set to “friend relationship” (SB16).
　例えば図２に示すように、利用者Ｕ1および利用者Ｕ2の双方が過去にゲームＧAをプレイし、かつ、両者間にゲームＧA内で仲間関係が構築されている場合、ゲームＧAの付加情報Ｌ2は「仲間関係」に設定されるとともに、ゲームＧAの操作受付部Ｌ1はゲームＧAにおける利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷAにリンクする。すなわち、利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSのうちゲームＧAの操作受付部Ｌ1を利用者Ｕ2が操作すると、ゲームサーバ３０Aの制御装置３２は、操作受付部Ｌ1にリンクする利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷAを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる。利用者Ｕ2は既にゲームＧAをプレイしたことがあるから、利用者Ｕ2がゲームＧAの操作受付部ＷAからゲームページＷAに移行してゲームＧAを開始したとしても利用者Ｕ1に特典は付与されない。なお、個別ページＥS内のゲームＧAの操作受付部Ｌ1を利用者Ｕ2が操作した場合に、利用者Ｕ2のゲームページを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させることも可能である。 For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when both the user U1 and the user U2 have played the game GA in the past and a friendship is established in the game GA between them, the additional information L2 of the game GA Is set to “friend relationship”, and the operation reception unit L1 of the game GA links to the game page WA of the user U1 in the game GA. That is, when the user U2 operates the operation reception unit L1 of the game GA in the individual page WS of the user U1, the control device 32 of the game server 30A displays the game page WA of the user U1 linked to the operation reception unit L1. It is displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user U2. Since the user U2 has already played the game GA, even if the user U2 moves to the game page WA from the operation reception unit WA of the game GA and starts the game GA, no privilege is given to the user U1. In addition, when the user U2 operates the operation reception part L1 of the game GA in the individual page ES, the game page of the user U2 can be displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user U2.
　他方、利用者Ｕ1および利用者Ｕ2の双方が対象ゲームを過去にプレイしているが両者間に仲間関係は構築されていない場合（ＳB14：NO）、管理サーバ２０の制御装置２２は、対象ゲームにおける利用者Ｕ1の非仲間用のゲームページに対するリンクを対象ゲームの操作受付部Ｌ1に設定し（ＳB17）、対象ゲームの付加情報Ｌ2を非表示に設定する（ＳB18）。例えば図２に示すように、利用者Ｕ1および利用者Ｕ2の双方が過去にゲームＧBをプレイしたが仲間関係はゲームＧB内で未だ構築されていない場合、ゲームＧBの付加情報Ｌ2は非表示に設定されるとともに、ゲームＧBの操作受付部Ｌ1はゲームＧBにおける利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷBにリンクする。以上に説明したように、制御装置２２は、利用者Ｕ1が過去にプレイしたゲームＧBについて、利用者Ｕ2からの操作を受付けて利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷBにリンクする操作受付部Ｌ1を含む利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSを、利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる要素（履歴表示部）として機能する。 On the other hand, when both the user U1 and the user U2 have played the target game in the past but no friendship has been established between them (SB14: NO), the control device 22 of the management server 20 A link to the game page for non-companies of user U1 is set in the operation accepting portion L1 of the target game (SB17), and the additional information L2 of the target game is set to be hidden (SB18). For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when both the user U1 and the user U2 have played the game GB in the past, but the friendship relationship has not yet been established in the game GB, the additional information L2 of the game GB is hidden. At the same time, the operation accepting unit L1 of the game GB links to the game page WB of the user U1 in the game GB. As described above, the control device 22 includes an operation reception unit L1 that receives an operation from the user U2 and links it to the game page WB of the user U1 for the game GB that the user U1 has played in the past. The individual page WS of the user U1 functions as an element (history display unit) to be displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user U2.
　利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSのうちゲームＧBの操作受付部Ｌ1を利用者Ｕ2が操作すると、ゲームＧBのゲームサーバ３０Bの制御装置３２は、図２に示すように、操作受付部Ｌ1にリンクした利用者Ｕ1のゲームページＷBを利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示させる。ゲームページＷBは、ゲームＧBにおける利用者Ｕ1に関する関連情報ＷB1と、仲間申請部ＷB2および操作受付部ＷB3とを含むウェブページである。関連情報ＷB1は、ゲームＧBについて利用者Ｕ1の属性情報Ｐ1が指定する名前（“User Ｕ1”）と、ゲームＧBのゲーム情報Ｐ2が指定する能力値（レベル：４２）と、利用者Ｕ1の仲間情報ＱCがゲームＧBについて指定する仲間の総数（仲間数：２３）と、利用者Ｕ1の通貨情報ＱA3が指定する仮想通貨の数量（通貨量：１２０）とを含んで構成される。 When the user U2 operates the operation receiving unit L1 of the game GB in the individual page WS of the user U1, the control device 32 of the game server 30B of the game GB is linked to the operation receiving unit L1 as shown in FIG. The game page WB of the user U1 is displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user U2. The game page WB is a web page including related information WB1 related to the user U1 in the game GB, a friend application unit WB2 and an operation reception unit WB3. The related information WB1 includes the name specified by the attribute information P1 of the user U1 for the game GB (“User U1”), the ability value specified by the game information P2 of the game GB (level: 42), and the friend of the user U1 The information QC includes the total number of friends specified for the game GB (number of friends: 23) and the amount of virtual currency (currency amount: 120) specified by the currency information QA3 of the user U1.
　仲間申請部ＷB2および操作受付部ＷB3は、他のウェブページに対するリンクが設定された画像（リンクテキストやコマンドボタン等のリンクオブジェクト）であり、利用者Ｕ2からの操作を受付ける。例えば利用者Ｕ2が操作受付部ＷB3を操作した場合、利用者Ｕ1の個別ページＷSが利用者Ｕ2の端末装置１２に表示される。 Associate application unit WB2 and operation reception unit WB3 are images (link objects such as link text and command buttons) in which links to other web pages are set, and accept operations from user U2.
