　図３を参照して、情報連動システム１で実現される情報連動サービスについて説明する。ユーザがゲーム機２へ所定額のプレイ料金を支払い、プレイする楽曲や難易度等を設定する期間やプレイ後の成績発表期間等の楽曲をプレイしていないとき、あるいはゲームプレイ中の適宜のタイミングでメッセージを投稿できる。ユーザが投稿するメッセージは予め用意された複数のメッセージの中から選択する。図４は、複数のメッセージを表示する選択画面５２の一例を示した図である。メッセージＭ１～Ｍ３は、音楽ゲームプレイ前の状況を示すメッセージであり、その状況に応じたメッセージが提示される。メッセージデータ２３を参照して適宜のメッセージが選択画面５２に表示される。提示される複数のメッセージは、メッセージを選択するタイミングによって変化する。例えば、プレイヤのゲームプレイ結果が好成績であった場合には、好成績であったことを伝える内容のものが表示される。メッセージは、ゲーム難易度や、ゲーム進行状況によって適宜に設定される。図３において、ユーザとしてＢさんがメッセージＭ１を選択すると、メッセージＭ１にカーソル５３が重なって選択されていることを示す。投稿ボタン５４をタッチ操作することにより、メッセージＭ１がセンターサーバ３に送信される。 Referring to FIG. 3, the information linkage service realized by the information linkage system 1 will be described. When the user pays a predetermined amount of play fee to the game machine 2 and does not play a song such as a period for setting a song to be played, difficulty level, etc., a result announcement period after play, or an appropriate timing during game play You can post a message at The message posted by the user is selected from a plurality of prepared messages. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the selection screen 52 that displays a plurality of messages. The messages M1 to M3 are messages indicating the situation before the music game play, and messages corresponding to the situation are presented. An appropriate message is displayed on the selection screen 52 with reference to the message data 23. The plurality of messages to be presented vary depending on the timing for selecting the message. For example, if the game play result of the player is a good result, a content indicating that the player has a good result is displayed. The message is appropriately set depending on the game difficulty level and the game progress status. In FIG. 3, when Mr. B selects the message M1 as the user, the cursor 53 overlaps with the message M1 to indicate that it is selected. By touching the posting button 54, the message M1 is transmitted to the center server 3.
　投稿したメッセージＭ１は、掲示板情報データ３５に記録され、センターサーバ３のＷｅｂサービス管理部３７で管理される。Ｗｅｂサービス管理部３７は、各ゲーム機２をプレイするユーザから送信されたメッセージを配信情報としての掲示板情報として各ゲーム機２へ送信する。ゲーム機２は、受信した掲示板情報に基づいて掲示板５１を表示する。掲示板５１には、自己のメッセージを含む各ユーザが投稿したメッセージがユーザの投稿した日時に基づいて時系列に並べられ、新着メッセージが一番上に表示される。あるいは一定のタイミングで日時順に並んだメッセージがスライドするように表示してもよい。表示方法は適宜変更してよい。 The posted message M1 is recorded in the bulletin board information data 35 and managed by the Web service management unit 37 of the center server 3. The Web service management unit 37 transmits a message transmitted from a user who plays each game machine 2 to each game machine 2 as bulletin board information as distribution information. The game machine 2 displays the bulletin board 51 based on the received bulletin board information. On the bulletin board 51, messages posted by each user including their own messages are arranged in chronological order based on the date and time of posting by the user, and a new message is displayed at the top. Or you may display so that the message arranged in order of the date and time at a fixed timing may slide. The display method may be changed as appropriate.
　ユーザがサービス提供サーバ４で提供されるＳＮＳサービスのアカウントを有している場合、センターサーバ３で管理されるユーザＩＤとサービス提供サーバ４で管理されるＳＮＳＩＤとを対応付ける設定が可能である。図５は、ゲーム機２のモニタ１２に表示される設定画面５５の一例を示す。設定画面５５には、ゲーム機２にて投稿するメッセージの可否設定５６の他に、ユーザ提供サーバ４で提供されるＳＮＳサービスとの連動設定５７が可能である。連動設定５７では、ユーザのＳＮＳＩＤを指定箇所５７ａに登録する。また、掲示板５１に自己のメッセージと特定の知人のメッセージのみを表示させたい場合には、友達登録設定５８をすることができ、例えばＡさんを登録する場合には、編集ボタン５８ａを押してＡさんを特定するカードＩＤ、ユーザＩＤ等のいずれかのＩＤを登録する。また、友達のみ表示設定５９をすると、自己のメッセージに加えて友達登録した知人のメッセージのみを掲示板５１に表示することができる。設定画面５５で設定可能な項目はセンターサーバ３のプレイデータ３３に記録される。ゲーム機２は、カードＩＤをセンターサーバ３に送信して照会し、プレイデータ３３に記録された予め登録された設定を受信して設定する。これにより、ユーザは毎回プレイ開始時に設定することなくゲームを楽しむことができる。また、ユーザ端末８でセンターサーバ３にアクセスすることにより、ユーザ端末８を操作して設定画面５５で設定可能な項目と同様の設定を可能としてもよい。 When the user has an account for the SNS service provided by the service providing server 4, it is possible to associate the user ID managed by the center server 3 with the SNS ID managed by the service providing server 4. FIG. 5 shows an example of the setting screen 55 displayed on the monitor 12 of the game machine 2. In the setting screen 55, in addition to the message availability setting 56 posted on the game machine 2, an interlocking setting 57 with the SNS service provided by the user providing server 4 is possible. In the interlock setting 57, the user's SNSID is registered in the designated location 57a. Also, if you want to display only your own message and the message of a specific acquaintance on the bulletin board 51, you can set friend registration 58. For example, if you want to register Mr. A, press the edit button 58a and see Mr. A Any ID such as a card ID or a user ID is registered. In addition, when the friend only display setting 59 is performed, only messages of acquaintances registered as friends in addition to the self message can be displayed on the bulletin board 51. Items that can be set on the setting screen 55 are recorded in the play data 33 of the center server 3. The game machine 2 sends the card ID to the center server 3 for inquiry, and receives and sets a pre-registered setting recorded in the play data 33. Thereby, the user can enjoy a game, without setting at the time of a play start each time. Further, by accessing the center server 3 with the user terminal 8, the user terminal 8 may be operated to enable the same setting as the items that can be set on the setting screen 55.
　ユーザがユーザ提供サーバ４で提供されるＳＮＳサービスとの連動を許可する設定をすると、ユーザが投稿したメッセージにはＳＮＳＩＤが付与され、センターサーバ３からサービス提供サーバ４に送信される。そして、ＳＮＳサービスで提供されるミニブログ等のメッセージ投稿サービスを介してメッセージが公開される。図３にユーザ提供サーバ４が提供するメッセージ投稿サービスのメッセージ表示画面６１の一例を示す。メッセージ表示画面６１は、Ｂさんがアカウントを有しているＳＮＳサービスによって用意された専用の画面（タイムライン）であり、Ｂさんが投稿したメッセージが最新の投稿を先頭に時系列順に表示されている。メッセージ表示画面６１は、ネットワーク７を介してアクセスしてきたユーザ端末８の画面表示部に表示される。メッセージ表示画面６１には、Ｂさんがユーザ端末８から投稿したメッセージＭａ～Ｍｃと、ゲーム機２から投稿したメッセージＭｄ～Ｍｅとが表示されている。ゲーム機２から投稿されたメッセージには、特定のキーワード（ハッシュタグ）が付与されていてもよい。このような特定のキーワードは、センターサーバ３からサービス提供サーバ４へのメッセージの送信時に、センターサーバ３にて付与される。特定のキーワードを付与することにより、この特定のキーワードが付与されたメッセージのみを編集して表示することができる。 When the user sets to allow the linkage with the SNS service provided by the user providing server 4, the message posted by the user is given an SNS ID and transmitted from the center server 3 to the service providing server 4. Then, the message is released through a message posting service such as a miniblog provided by the SNS service. FIG. 3 shows an example of the message display screen 61 of the message posting service provided by the user providing server 4. The message display screen 61 is a dedicated screen (timeline) prepared by the SNS service for which Mr. B has an account, and messages posted by Mr. B are displayed in chronological order with the latest posts at the top. Yes. The message display screen 61 is displayed on the screen display unit of the user terminal 8 that has accessed through the network 7. On the message display screen 61, messages Ma to Mc posted by the user B from the user terminal 8 and messages Md to Me posted from the game machine 2 are displayed. A specific keyword (hash tag) may be given to the message posted from the game machine 2. Such a specific keyword is given by the center server 3 when a message is transmitted from the center server 3 to the service providing server 4. By assigning a specific keyword, it is possible to edit and display only a message to which this specific keyword is assigned.
　設定画面５５で設定される項目は、Ｗｅｂサービス管理部３７で管理され、ユーザが設定した個々の項目の選択は、プレイデータ３３に記憶される。Ｗｅｂサービス管理部３７は、識別情報管理手段及び送信設定手段として機能する。 Items set on the setting screen 55 are managed by the Web service management unit 37, and selection of individual items set by the user is stored in the play data 33. The Web service management unit 37 functions as an identification information management unit and a transmission setting unit.
　図６は、情報連動システム１で提供される情報連動サービスを実現するために、ゲーム機２、センターサーバ３及びサービス提供サーバ４が協働して実行する情報連動処理を示すフローチャートである。まず、ステップＳ１でゲーム機２の制御ユニット２０は、適宜のタイミングにてモニタ１２に投稿画面５２を表示させる。ユーザは、投稿画面５２に表示された複数のメッセージの選択肢の中から１つのメッセージを選択する。ステップＳ２で制御ユニット２０は、投稿画面５２を表示させるタイミングでセンターサーバ３に掲示板情報を要求し、掲示板５１の情報を更新する。次のステップＳ３で制御ユニット２０は、ステップＳ１で選択されたメッセージをセンターサーバ３へ送信する。また、ステップＳ４で制御ユニット２０は、ステップＳ３で送信したメッセージを掲示板５１に表示させる。センターサーバ３とのデータの送受信に時間がかかる場合、掲示板５１の更新が遅れるおそれがある。センターサーバ３とのデータの送受信を介さずにステップＳ４で自己のメッセージのみ掲示板に表示させることで、ユーザに自己のメッセージが正常に送信されていることを認識させ、安心させることができる。 FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an information interlocking process executed in cooperation by the game machine 2, the center server 3, and the service providing server 4 in order to realize the information interlocking service provided by the information interlocking system 1. First, in step S1, the control unit 20 of the game machine 2 displays the posting screen 52 on the monitor 12 at an appropriate timing. The user selects one message from among a plurality of message options displayed on the posting screen 52. In step S <b> 2, the control unit 20 requests bulletin board information from the center server 3 at the timing when the posting screen 52 is displayed, and updates the information on the bulletin board 51. In the next step S3, the control unit 20 transmits the message selected in step S1 to the center server 3. In step S4, the control unit 20 displays the message transmitted in step S3 on the bulletin board 51. When it takes time to send and receive data to and from the center server 3, there is a possibility that the update of the bulletin board 51 is delayed. Only the user's own message is displayed on the bulletin board in step S4 without sending / receiving data to / from the center server 3, so that the user can recognize that the user's own message is normally transmitted and can be relieved.
　投稿画面５２を表示するタイミングがくると制御ユニット２０は、次のステップＳ５で投稿画面５２を表示させるとともに、ステップＳ６で掲示板情報を要求し、掲示板５１の情報を更新する。ステップＳ５以降の処理は、ステップＳ１～ステップＳ４の処理が繰り返される。なお、ステップＳ６では、ステップＳ３にてユーザが投稿したメッセージを含む掲示板情報をセンターサーバ３から受信して掲示板５１を更新することになる。これにより、掲示板５１に表示される内容が、センターサーバ３の掲示板情報データ３５と同期する。 When it is time to display the posting screen 52, the control unit 20 displays the posting screen 52 in the next step S5, requests bulletin board information in step S6, and updates the information in the bulletin board 51. In the processes after step S5, the processes of steps S1 to S4 are repeated. In step S6, bulletin board information including the message posted by the user in step S3 is received from the center server 3 and the bulletin board 51 is updated. As a result, the content displayed on the bulletin board 51 is synchronized with the bulletin board information data 35 of the center server 3.
　センターサーバ３の制御ユニット３０は、ゲーム機２から掲示板情報の要求を受信すると、ステップＳ１１で要求をしたユーザのカードＩＤを参照して友達設定されているか否かを照会する。友達設定されている場合は、制御ユニット３０は、ステップＳ１２に進み、掲示板情報データ３５を参照して自己のメッセージと友達設定されている特定のユーザのメッセージのみで編集されている編集掲示板情報をゲーム機２に送信する。一方、友達設定がされていない場合は、制御ユニット３０は、ステップＳ１３に進み、掲示板情報データ３５に記憶された各ユーザの全メッセージのうち投稿日時が最新のものから順に所定数のメッセージで構成される通常掲示板情報をゲーム機２に送信する。 When the control unit 30 of the center server 3 receives the request for the bulletin board information from the game machine 2, it refers to the card ID of the user who made the request in step S11 to inquire whether or not the friend is set. If the friend is set, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S12 and refers to the bulletin board information data 35 to display the edited bulletin board information edited only with the message of the specific user set as the friend and the self message. It transmits to the game machine 2. On the other hand, if the friend setting has not been made, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S13 and is composed of a predetermined number of messages in order from the latest posting date and time among all messages stored in the bulletin board information data 35. The normal bulletin board information to be sent is transmitted to the game machine 2.
　センターサーバ３の制御ユニット３０は、ゲーム機２からメッセージが投稿されると、ステップＳ１４で掲示板情報データ３５を更新する。また、制御ユニット３０は、ステップＳ１５でＩＤ管理データ３４を参照して、ユーザのユーザＩＤとＳＮＳＩＤとが対応付けられているか否かを判断する。ユーザＩＤとＳＮＳＩＤとが対応付けられている場合、制御ユニット３０はステップＳ１６に進み、ユーザのユーザＩＤに対応付けられたＳＮＳＩＤを付与して投稿されたメッセージと同じメッセージをサービス提供サーバ４に送信する。送信するメッセージとともに、特定のキーワードを付与してもよい。ユーザＩＤとＳＮＳＩＤとが対応付けられていない場合、制御ユニット３０は、ステップＳ１６をスキップする。以降、制御ユニット３０は、ステップＳ１１～ステップＳ１６の処理を繰り返す。なお、ゲーム機２の制御ユニット２０で実行されるステップＳ６の掲示板情報の要求を受信した場合、送信する掲示板情報は、まだ送信していない最新の掲示板情報のみでよい。 When the message is posted from the game machine 2, the control unit 30 of the center server 3 updates the bulletin board information data 35 in step S14. Further, the control unit 30 refers to the ID management data 34 in step S15 and determines whether or not the user ID of the user and the SNSID are associated with each other. If the user ID and the SNSID are associated with each other, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S16 and transmits the same message as the message posted with the SNSID associated with the user ID of the user to the service providing server 4. To do. A specific keyword may be given together with the message to be transmitted. When the user ID and the SNSID are not associated with each other, the control unit 30 skips step S16. Thereafter, the control unit 30 repeats the processes of steps S11 to S16. When the bulletin board information request in step S6 executed by the control unit 20 of the game machine 2 is received, the bulletin board information to be transmitted may be only the latest bulletin board information that has not yet been transmitted.
　サービス提供サーバ４の制御ユニット４０は、センターサーバ３の制御ユニット３０で実行されるステップＳ１６で送信されたメッセージを受信すると、ステップＳ２１で受信情報データ４３を更新するとともに、受信したメッセージを公開する。受信したメッセージは、サービス提供サーバ４にアクセスしたユーザ端末８に対してユーザ専用のメッセージ表示画面６１を表示させることにより、公開される。特定のキーワードが付与されていれば、同時に公開される。これにより、このメッセージがゲーム機２から送信されたものであることがメッセージ表示画面６１の閲覧者に認識されるとともに、特定のキーワードが付与されたメッセージのみを表示させるも可能となる。 When the control unit 40 of the service providing server 4 receives the message transmitted in step S16 executed by the control unit 30 of the center server 3, the control unit 40 updates the received information data 43 in step S21 and publishes the received message. . The received message is made public by displaying a message display screen 61 dedicated to the user on the user terminal 8 that has accessed the service providing server 4. If a specific keyword is assigned, it will be released at the same time. Thereby, it is possible for the viewer of the message display screen 61 to recognize that this message is transmitted from the game machine 2 and to display only the message to which the specific keyword is assigned.
　以上の処理によれば、ゲーム機２でゲームをプレイするユーザは、適宜のタイミングでセンターサーバ３が提供する掲示板サービスに対してメッセージを送信できる。ゲーム機２のモニタ１２に表示される掲示板５１には、ユーザが送信した自己のメッセージを含む他のユーザからのメッセージが時系列順に表示される。ユーザがサービス提供サーバ４で提供されるＳＮＳサービスとの連動を希望する場合には、ユーザのユーザＩＤとサービス提供サーバ４のＳＮＳＩＤとが対応付けられ、センターサーバ３は、ユーザが投稿したメッセージと同じ内容のメッセージをサービス提供サーバ４へ送信する。これにより、センターサーバ３で提供される掲示板サービスと、サービス提供サーバ４で提供されるＳＮＳサービスとを連動させることにより、ユーザが投稿するメッセージを異なるコミュニティに対しても発信させることができる。従って、ユーザのメッセージを目にする人が増え、店舗５へ来店する新たなユーザの開拓や、普段ゲームをすることがない人々へも訴求できる。 According to the above processing, a user who plays a game on the game machine 2 can send a message to the bulletin board service provided by the center server 3 at an appropriate timing. On the bulletin board 51 displayed on the monitor 12 of the game machine 2, messages from other users including their own messages transmitted by the user are displayed in chronological order. When the user wishes to link with the SNS service provided by the service providing server 4, the user ID of the user is associated with the SNSID of the service providing server 4, and the center server 3 A message having the same content is transmitted to the service providing server 4.
