Description

The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, method, and program.

TCGs are known in which users play against each other using real cards. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a card game toy in which a plurality of cards having predetermined fighting abilities are used to repeatedly fight and defend against opponent cards, and ultimately reduce the physical strength of the cards to zero to compete for victory or defeat. has been done. In TCG, a user collects cards and organizes cards to be used in a battle from among the collected cards. It can be said that this organization is also commonly referred to as "organizing a deck."

In the real world, TCG users bring together decks of cards and compete against each other. In order to enliven TCG, businesses that provide TCG cards, stores that sell cards, etc. sometimes hold competitions.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-204874

Various parameters such as compatibility and card effects are set for the cards organized in the deck. The user considers combinations of multiple cards while considering the parameters set for each of these cards. For example, depending on the types of cards included in a deck, there may be decks that are compatible with a specific deck. It is interesting to compose a deck while taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of these cards.

Therefore, in order for a user to use a real card in an analog TCG, it is necessary to keep the real card. Furthermore, since there are various patterns for organizing decks, it is necessary to store more cards than the number of cards composing the deck.

However, the more the user increases the number of cards he or she owns in order to increase the variety of deck compositions, the more difficult it becomes to manage which cards are placed where. Also, unlike the case where real cards are read and used in games, in analog TCG, real cards are used in battles, so there is a possibility that they are not linked to ownership information as digital items. Since there are so many cards, it is not possible to discard them.

Therefore, there is a need for technology that makes it easier for users to manage cards used in analog TCGs.

The present disclosure has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a device that allows a TCG user to easily manage multiple cards.

According to one embodiment, an information processing device for managing cards used in a TCG includes a storage unit and a control unit, and the control unit causes the storage unit to store information about cards held by a player. acquiring information regarding the object that accommodates the card; and storing information about the card and information regarding the object that accommodates the card in a storage unit in association with each other.

According to one embodiment, an information processing device for managing cards used in TCG is provided. The information processing device includes a storage section and a control section. The control unit stores information on cards held by the player in the storage unit, generates information on a deck to be used in a TCG match, associates the card information with the deck information, and stores the information in the storage unit. In response to receiving from the player an operation for associating the information of the card held by the player with the information of the deck, the information of the card held by the player and the information of the deck are stored in the information of the deck. A step of registering information of a card associated with another deck different from the deck as sub card information is executed.

According to the present disclosure, a TCG user can easily manage multiple cards.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are given the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

First, an overview of the TCG (Trading Card Game) according to this embodiment will be explained. Next, a support system that allows users (players) to easily manage a plurality of cards will be described as one of the techniques for supporting TCG matches between users.

<1 Overview of TCG>
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the TCG according to this embodiment. State (A) in FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a situation in which the user uses the TCG supplies 30 to prepare for a TCG match. State (B) in FIG. 1 shows a situation in which the user attempts to start a TCG match.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a situation in which each user is progressing in a TCG match.

<1.1 Configuration of TCG supplies 30>
With reference to FIG. 1, various supplies used by each user in a TCG match will be described. As shown in state (A) of FIG. 1, when a first user (user 5A) and a second user (user 5B) start a TCG match, there is a gap between users 5A and 5B. Place the TCG supplies 30. The TCG supplies 30 are for each user to place cards to be used in TCG matches.

Each user arranges cards in the TCG supplies and adds cards from the deck to his/her hand while proceeding with the TCG match. First, to explain the configuration of the TCG supplies 30, the TCG supplies 30 includes a deck placement section 31A, a deck placement section 31B (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "deck placement section 31"), and a preparation card placement section. 32A, a preparation card arrangement section 32B (hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "preparation card arrangement section 32"), a win/loss condition card arrangement section 33A, and a win/loss condition card arrangement section 33B (hereinafter, "win/loss condition card arrangement section 33"). ), a battle card arrangement section 34A, a battle card arrangement section 34B (hereinafter sometimes also collectively referred to as "battle card arrangement section 34"), a consumption card arrangement section 35A, and a consumption card arrangement section. 35B (hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "consumable card placement section 35").

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in a TCG battle, each user advances a battle between cards while replenishing his or her hand from the deck. In the example of FIG. 2, the first user (user 5A) has a hand of cards 93A (two cards in the example of FIG. 2). The second user (user 5B) has a hand of cards 93B (three cards in the example of FIG. 2).

The deck placement section 31 is an area for arranging a deck of cards that each user has organized as a deck (a combination of cards used in a TCG match). The deck placement section 31A is an area where the user 5A places a deck. The deck placement section 31B is an area where the user 5B places a deck.

As shown in state (B) of FIG. 1, when each user starts a TCG match, first, each user's cards are arranged as a deck in the deck placement section 31. The deck placement section 31 is an area for the user to place a deck. Each user mixes the cards constituting the deck and places the cards face down in the deck placement section 31. The user 5A places the deck 91A in the deck placement section 31A. The user 5B places the deck 91B in the deck placement section 31B.

The preparation card placement section 32 is an area for placing cards that can battle with opponent's cards. Each user exchanges the cards placed in the preparation card placement section 32 with the cards placed in the battle card placement section 34, and compares the attack power and strength of the cards placed in the battle card placement section 34 with each other. The battle progresses by correcting the amount of damage according to physical strength, card attributes, weaknesses, etc. As shown in state (B) of FIG. 1, no cards are arranged in the preparation card arrangement section 32 and the battle card arrangement section 34 before the TCG match starts. On the other hand, as shown in state (A) of FIG. 2, when the TCG match progresses, each user places cards in the preparation card placement section 32 and the battle card placement section 34, and battles between cards. Each user replenishes his/her hand from the deck and arranges cards from his/her hand to be used in a battle in a preparation card arrangement section 32 and a battle card arrangement section 34. The user 5A places a card in the preparation card placement section 32A. The user 5B places a card in the preparation card placement section 32B.

The win/lose condition card arrangement section 33 is an area indicating to what extent each player satisfies the win conditions. In this embodiment, each player places a predetermined number of cards from the deck face down in the win/lose condition card placement section 33 . As shown in state (B) of FIG. 1, the user 5A places cards in the win/loss condition card placement section 33A. The user 5B places cards in the win/loss condition card placement section 33B.

The battle card arrangement section 34 is an area for arranging cards that will battle with the opponent's cards. The user 5A places cards in the battle card placement section 34A. The user 5B places cards in the battle card placement section 34B. In this embodiment, basically, the physical strength, attack power, and physical strength set for each card are determined by the card placed in the battle card placement section 34A and the card placed in the battle card placement section 34B. Battles are conducted based on character attributes, weak attributes, and other parameters. When the character shown on the card loses the physical strength set on the card due to being attacked or the like, the character shown on the card is deemed to have fainted and is removed from the battle, and is placed in a consumption card placement section 35 to be described later.

The consumed card arrangement section 35 is an area for arranging cards consumed in TCG matches. For example, cards that lost physical strength due to defeat in battle, cards that activated effects, etc. are arranged in the consumption card arrangement section 35. As shown in FIG. 2, the user 5A places the card 92A in the consumption card placement section 35A. The user 5B places the card 92B in the consumption card placement section 35B.

<1.2 Types of cards used in TCG>
In the TCG of this embodiment, the types of cards are (i) character cards that can be used in battle, (ii) action cards (energy cards) that are used in association with character cards, and (iii) during battles. There are effect cards that bring out specific effects.

(i) Character cards include cards (also referred to as "unconditional cards") that the user can draw from the deck, add to their hand, and then place in the battle card placement area 34 to use in battle. , cards that can be used in battle by meeting specific conditions (also referred to as "conditional cards").

(iA) For example, a conditional card can be allowed to participate in a battle on the condition that an unconditional card related to the conditional card is used. For example, in analogy to character evolution, an unconditional card is first presented to the opponent user by placing it in the TCG supplies 30, and then a conditional card related to the unconditional card is placed in the TCG supplies 30. This allows conditional cards to participate in battle. Such conditional cards are sometimes referred to as "evolved characters" as they are evolved from unconditional cards. In addition, the unconditional card can also be called a "seed character" because it can be said to be a character that becomes the basis for allowing an "evolved character" to participate in a battle.

(iB) For example, a conditional card can be made to participate in a battle by consuming a specific card and moving it to the consumption card placement section 35. Specifically, as a specific card, an unconditional card placed in the TCG supplies 30 can be consumed (moved to the consumption card placement section 35), and a conditional card can be made to participate in the battle. Good too.

For example, a conditional card can be made to participate in a battle in exchange for one or more character cards placed on the TCG supplies 30 by the user. For example, if each character card is attached with a parameter indicating the character's overall performance (e.g. evolution level) in addition to individual parameters such as the attack power of the character shown on the card, the user A conditional card having an evolution level corresponding to the evolution level value of the placed character card may be allowed to participate in the battle. For example, with an evolution level 1 character and an evolution level 2 character placed in the TCG supplies 30, by stacking them on these character cards (or in exchange for these character cards), you can create an evolution level 3 conditional card. can be placed.

In addition, the conditional card may be allowed to participate in a battle in exchange for a plurality of character cards defined by the conditional card. At this time, a conditional card may be allowed to participate in the battle by consuming an auxiliary card, which will be described later, which is different from the character card. For example, as an effect shown on an auxiliary card, a specific conditional card may be allowed to participate in a battle in exchange for a specific unconditional card located in the battle card placement section 34, consumption card placement section 35, etc. of the TCG supplies 30. It is determined.

(iC) These cards include cards that also serve as multiple of the above character cards, action cards (described later), and auxiliary cards. For example, a special card that can be used as a character card or as an auxiliary card may be included. When the user places the special card at a position where a character card should be placed (for example, the preparation card placement section 32 or the battle card placement section 34), the user can use the special card as a character card.

(ii) The action energy card (energy card) allows the user to draw a card from the deck, add it to his or her hand, and then place it in the TCG supplies 30 in association with the character card, thereby allowing the user to perform a predetermined action shown on the character card. It is possible to do so. The operation of associating the action ability card with the character card may be performed, for example, during the user's turn. For example, by arranging the action card near the character card placed on the TCG supplies 30, the action card may be associated with the character card. Further, there may be a limit on the number of times that an action card can be associated with a character card during a turn. For example, once during the user's turn, an action card in the hand can be placed so as to be associated with any of the character cards placed on the TCG supplies 30. For example, assume that a first attack action and a second attack action are set on a character card. The first attack action can be used when one action card is associated with the character card, and the second attack action can be used when one action card is not enough and two action cards are used. It may be possible to use the character card when the character card is associated with the character card.

If a character card is forced to leave due to running out of physical strength due to a battle, etc., the energy card associated with the character card may also be rendered unusable during the battle.

(iii) Auxiliary cards that assist the battle include card types that the user can use as many times as they like during a turn as long as they are in the user's hand, and card types that can be used only once during a turn. These auxiliary cards include ones that are activated by the user declaring that the effect of the auxiliary card will be used.

Note that the auxiliary card must be placed face down in advance at a predetermined position of the TCG product 30 (in this embodiment, the predetermined position is not shown), and then the user can place the auxiliary card in This also includes those that activate the effects of auxiliary cards by announcing their use by vocalization or the like.

<1.3 Overview of TCG battle rules>
As above, the TCG supplies 30 and the types of cards used in TCG matches have been explained. Next, the TCG battle rules will be explained in detail.

In the TCG shown in this embodiment, as described above, each user attacks or defends (battle) based on the cards placed in the battle card placement section 34A and the battle card placement section 34B to advance the TCG battle. do. It is assumed that a TCG match progresses by users taking turns to take actions each turn. For example, when the first user completes a turn, it becomes the second user's turn. When the second user performs an action in the turn and finishes the action, it becomes the first user's turn.

Each time a turn comes, each user draws a predetermined number of cards from the deck and adds them to his or her hand.

Each user arranges in the preparation card arrangement section 32 candidates for cards (character cards) to be used for attacking or defending against the card of the opponent user among the cards in his or her hand.

The user 5A can replace the cards arranged in the preparation card arrangement section 32A and the cards arranged in the battle card arrangement section 34A during the user 5A's turn. Further, the user 5B can replace the cards arranged in the preparation card arrangement section 32A and the cards arranged in the battle card arrangement section 34A during the user 5B's turn.

As described above, the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33A and the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33B are areas for notifying each user of how much progress each user has made toward the conditions for winning the battle. be. Here, as a condition for the user to win the battle, for example, all the cards arranged in the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33A or the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33B may be collected. That is, the winner or loser may be decided when all the cards are collected in either the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33A or the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33B.

For example, before a TCG match, each user places a predetermined number of cards from the deck into the win/lose condition card placement section 33A or the win/loss condition card placement section 33B. That is, the user 5A extracts a predetermined number of cards from the deck and places them in the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33A. The user 5B extracts a predetermined number of cards from the deck and places them in the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33B. The character card that the user 5A has placed in the battle card placement section 34A and the character card that the user 5B has placed in the battle card placement section 34B are pitted against each other, and when the exit condition set for the character card is met (for example, the character card When the physical strength value set in the character card is subtracted based on the attack power set on the opponent's character card and is exhausted), the character on the character card is assumed to have fainted, and the physical strength value is subtracted based on the attack power set on the opponent's character card. ).

As a result, the user who has won the battle and removed the opponent's character card adds the card placed in the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33A or the win/lose condition card arrangement section 33B to his or her hand. For example, when the user 5B attacks the character card of the user 5A in his own turn and causes the card placed in the battle card placement section 34A to leave the field, a predetermined number of cards placed in the win/loss condition card placement section 33B are removed. Take a number of cards and add them to your hand. On the other hand, if the user 5A attacks the character card of the user 5B in his own turn and leaves the card placed in the battle card placement section 34B, a predetermined number of cards placed in the win/loss condition card placement section 33A is removed. Take a number of cards and add them to your hand. By repeating these operations, when the user 5B has collected all the cards placed in the win/loss condition card placement section 33B, or when the user 5A has collected all the cards placed in the win/loss condition card placement section 33A, the collection is completed. The user may be determined to be the user who won the TCG match. In addition, the winning condition for the battle may be that the game is defeated when there is no character card in either the battle card placement section 34 or the preparation card placement section 32. Furthermore, the winning condition for the battle may be that each user loses if he or she cannot draw a deck from the deck placement section 31 in his or her turn.

<1.4 Object that accommodates cards>
If the user holds the cards used in the TCG as described above, there is a risk of damage, so in order to protect the cards, the user inserts the cards one by one into a dedicated storage bag and stores them. The storage bag is called a card sleeve, card case, card protector, etc., and one side (back side) of the storage bag is plain or has a design of a character or a pattern. By storing cards for each deck using, for example, storage bags with the same design, pattern, color, etc., the user can easily grasp the cards that make up each deck. Also, by using storage bags with the same design, pattern, color, etc., it is not possible to know the type of each card from the back, so you can play TCG while keeping it in the storage bag. .

Further, when the user collects a large number of cards, the user stores them in a storage box. The storage box is preferably a box exclusively for TCG cards, in which the storage space is formed to match the size of the card.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an object that accommodates a card according to this embodiment. FIG. 3(A) is a diagram showing an example of a storage bag that stores cards, and FIG. 3(B) is a diagram showing an example of a storage box that stores cards.

In FIG. 3(A), the card 95 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and is formed with a predetermined thickness using a material such as paper or plastic, for example. Further, on the surface of the card 95, a display is made to show card information, such as a character's drawing, name, characteristics, card effects, etc. Further, the card 95 may be provided with an identifier that uniquely identifies the card.

The storage bag 96 is formed into a bag shape having approximately the same shape as the card 95 in plan view (approximately rectangular in FIG. 3A), and stores one (single) card 95 inside. can be accommodated. Further, in the storage bag 96, a transparent or translucent material is used as a covering member that covers the surface on which the card information is displayed so that at least the card information displayed on the card 95 can be visually recognized from the outside.

A marker 97 is provided on the storage bag 96. The marker 97 is information regarding the object that accommodates the card, and is, for example, an identifier that can uniquely identify the storage bag. The marker 97 is, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark), but may also be an IC chip or the like. The position where the marker 97 is provided is not particularly limited, but it may be provided on one side of the storage bag 96 that is not the covering member, or it may be provided on the covering member. When applied to the covering member, it is preferable that the display indicating the information on the card 95 and the marker 97 be applied at a position where the information can be photographed with a camera at the same time. This can reduce the effort required by the user to take pictures (operate the reading mechanism) for card management. Note that the marker 97 may be printed with ink that is invisible under natural light so that the marker 97 does not interfere with recognition of the card 95.

Further, the marker 97 of the storage bag 96 may include information (identifier) for identifying the deck as deck information. As mentioned above, if a storage bag with the same design is used for each deck, it becomes easier to grasp the cards that make up the deck. Since it is not necessary to identify and manage unique storage bags for management purposes, card management can be made easier by assigning the same deck identifier to storage bags with the same design in advance. Can be done. Details will be described later.

In FIG. 3(B), the storage box 98 forms a card storage space therein, and is integrally provided with a lid that can cover the top of the card storage space. The card accommodating space has a size that can accommodate a plurality of cards 95, and there is no particular limitation on the orientation in which the cards 95 are accommodated.

A marker 99 is attached to the storage box 98. The marker 99 is information regarding the object that accommodates the card, and is, for example, an identifier that can uniquely identify the storage box. The marker 99 is, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark), but may also be an IC chip or the like. Although the position where the marker 99 is provided is not particularly limited, it is preferably a position where the user can easily photograph the marker 99 with a camera.

By storing information about the card 95 held by the user in the terminal device 10 (see FIG. 4) in association with information about the storage bag 96 and storage box 98, which are the objects that store the card, the user can manage the card. It can be carried out.

The speaker 142 converts the audio signal provided from the audio processing unit 140 into audio and outputs the audio to the outside of the terminal device 10 .

The position information sensor 150 is a sensor that detects the position of the terminal device 10, and is, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) module. A GPS module is a receiving device used in a satellite positioning system. The satellite positioning system receives signals from at least three or four satellites, and detects the current position of the terminal device 10 equipped with a GPS module based on the received signals. The position detected by this GPS module is, for example, when storing the position information of the terminal device 10 in the memory when the terminal device 10 performs a predetermined notification process based on the detection result of the sensor device 50. can be used.

The camera 160 is a device that receives light with a light receiving element and outputs it as a photographed image. The camera 160 is, for example, a depth camera that can detect the distance from the camera 160 to the object to be photographed. Further, the camera 160 functions as a reading mechanism, and can photograph a marker attached to an object containing a card and read information on the marker.

The storage unit 180 is configured with, for example, a flash memory, and stores data and programs used by the terminal device 10. The storage unit 180 stores card information 181 and deck information 182.

Card information 181 is information about a card held by the user. The card information includes, for example, a correspondence between a card identifier, an identifier of an object containing the card, and an identifier of a deck in which the card is combined. Further, the card information 181 may include information such as characters, letters, and symbols drawn on the card, game effects, strengths, and attributes.

The deck information 182 is deck information indicating a combination of cards used in a TCG match. The deck information includes, for example, a correspondence between a deck identifier and the identifiers of the cards that constitute the deck. Further, the deck information includes an association between a deck identifier and desired card information (described later) and/or sub card information (described later).

The control unit 190 controls the operation of the terminal device 10 by reading a program stored in the storage unit 180 and executing instructions included in the program. Control unit 190 is, for example, an application processor. The control unit 190 functions as an input operation reception unit 191, a transmission/reception unit 192, a data processing unit 193, and a notification control unit 194 by operating according to a program.

The input operation reception unit 191 performs a process of accepting a user's input operation on an input device such as the touch sensitive device 131. The input operation reception unit 191 determines whether the user's operation is a flick operation, a tap operation, or a drag (swipe) operation, based on information on the coordinates of the user's finger or the like in contact with the touch-sensitive device 131. Determine the type of operation, such as whether it exists.

The transmitting/receiving unit 192 performs processing for the terminal device 10 to transmit and receive data with an external device such as the server 20 according to a communication protocol.

The data processing unit 193 performs calculations on the data input by the terminal device 10 according to a program, and outputs the calculation results to a memory or the like.

The data processing unit 193 acquires information on the card held by the user and stores it in the card information 181 of the storage unit 180. The card information is information that can identify the card, and may be obtained from the card identifier (identification number, card name, etc.) input by the user. Further, the information on the card may be acquired by the data processing unit 193 by analyzing a photographed image of the card taken by the user using the camera 160. For example, the identifiers, characters, letters, figures, combinations thereof, etc. displayed on the card are analyzed, the analysis results are sent to the server 20 that holds information on the cards used in the TCG, and the results are sent based on the answers from the server 20. The card containing the photographed image may also be specified.

The data processing unit 193 also acquires information regarding the object that accommodates the card. For example, when a user reads a marker attached to a storage bag or a storage box using the camera 160, the data processing unit 193 converts information that allows identification of the storage bag or storage box into information regarding the object containing the card. get.

The data processing unit 193 receives the card information from the user via the operation reception unit 130, and receives an operation for associating the card information stored in the card information 181 with information regarding the object that accommodates the card. and information regarding the object that accommodates the card are associated and stored in the card information 181. For example, a card held by a user and a storage bag or storage box that stores the card are stored in association with each other. The user can easily manage the cards by associating and storing the cards that the user owns and the objects that house the cards.

The data processing unit 193 also performs processing to generate a display image to be displayed on the display 132. For example, in response to receiving an operation from a user to designate information regarding an object to be accommodated, the data processing unit 193 displays a display image that presents the user with information on a card associated with information regarding the designated object to accommodate. generate. This allows the user to know information about the cards contained in the specified storage bag or storage box.

Further, in response to the camera 160 reading the information regarding the storage bag, the data processing unit 193 associates the information regarding the storage bag with the deck information and stores the information in the card information 181. For example, the camera 160 reads a storage bag identifier and a deck identifier that are given in advance as information regarding the storage bag, and the data processing unit 193 stores the storage bag identifier and deck identifier in the card information 181 in association with each other. let Then, the deck identifier and information on the card associated with the storage bag associated with the identifier are generated as deck information and stored in the deck information 182. The user can easily manage deck information by reading the storage bag with the camera 160 of the terminal device 10.

At this time, the data processing unit 193 determines whether the information regarding the storage bag read by the camera 160 is stored in the card information 181 in association with the card information. That is, it is determined whether the deck identifier previously assigned to the read storage bag is already stored. If it is determined that the card is stored in the card information 181, the card associated with the read storage bag is added as a card constituting the deck, and the deck information is updated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the card information is not stored in the card information 181, deck information may be generated as described above.

In addition, in response to receiving from the user an operation for associating information about cards that the user does not hold with information about the deck, the data processing unit 193 adds information about the cards held to the information about the deck, regardless of the number of cards specified for the deck. Register the information of the card you do not want to use as the desired card information. When considering the composition of a deck, the user may want to combine cards that are not held. Therefore, by registering the cards you want to combine as desired card information in association with deck information, it can function as a memo, which is useful when acquiring cards by purchasing or exchanging cards.

In addition, in response to receiving an operation from the user to associate the information of the card held by the user with the information of the deck, the data processing unit 193 adds the information of the held card to the deck information as sub card information. register. The number of cards constituting the deck is predetermined, and when considering the structure of the deck, the user needs to combine the cards to be held according to the specified number. Therefore, if there are multiple candidate cards to be included in the deck among the cards you keep, by registering the candidate cards as sub card information in association with the deck information, you can make it function as a memo, which is useful for deck management. It is.

The notification control unit 194 performs a process of displaying a display image on the display 132, a process of causing the speaker 142 to output audio, and a process of causing the camera 160 to generate vibration.

<2.3 Functional configuration of server 20>
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the server 20 functions as a communication section 201, a storage section 202, and a control section 203.

The communication unit 201 performs processing for the server 20 to communicate with external devices.

The storage unit 202 stores data and programs used by the server 20. The storage unit 202 stores a user information database 281, a card information database 282, and a contained object database 283.

The user information database 281 is a database for holding user information of each user who owns the terminal device 10. Card information and deck information are stored for each user.

The card information database 282 is a database for holding information on cards used in the TCG. The card information includes, for example, a card identifier, a character, a pattern, a figure, a symbol, a character, a card strength, an effect, etc. displayed on the card, which are associated with each other. When analyzing the photographed image of the card, the terminal device 10 may inquire of the card information database 282 to inquire about the photographed image and obtain card information. Further, the terminal device 10 may check the card information database 282 to check whether the card information input by the user is a card used in the TCG. Further, the card information database 282 may hold information that serves as a criterion for determining whether or not each card can be used in a competition such as a tournament. For example, standards for cards that can be used are defined for each tournament. A plurality of types of standards may be prepared. The terminal device 10 inquires of the server 20 whether the information of the card input by the user can be used in the tournament, and the server 20 refers to the card information database 282 and determines whether the card can be used in the tournament. It is also possible to respond by indicating whether or not it is usable.

The accommodated object database 283 is a database for holding information about objects that accommodate cards, for example, objects to which markers are attached. The information regarding the stored object is associated with an identifier of the stored object, an image such as a character or a pattern displayed on the storage bag or the storage box, the number of cards that can be stored in the storage box, and the like.

The control unit 203 performs functions shown as various modules by the processor of the server 20 performing processing according to a program.

The operation content acquisition module 2041 acquires the user's operation content when the server 20 receives input of card information held by the terminal device 10 .

The reception control module 2042 controls the process by which the server 20 receives signals from an external device according to a communication protocol.

The transmission control module 2043 controls the process by which the server 20 transmits a signal to an external device according to a communication protocol.

<2.4 Data structure>
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the data structure of card information 181 and deck information 182 stored in the terminal device 10.

As shown in FIG. 7, the card information 181 includes the item "Card ID", the item "Number (No.)", the item "Accommodated object ID", and the item "Deck ID".

The item "Card ID" is information for identifying the card held by the user. The item "No." is information for distinguishing between cards of the same type when the user holds a plurality of cards of the same type. In analog TCG, it is sometimes allowed to organize multiple decks of the same card. Furthermore, the user may hold a plurality of identical cards and organize them into different decks. The item "accommodating object ID" is information for identifying an object that accommodates a card. The item "deck ID" is information for identifying a deck.

For example, a user who owns the terminal device 10 has card IDs "#0001", "#0122", "#0323", "#0014", "#1235", "#3216", "#0016", "# 7D1f", "#0021", etc. are held. Each card ID contains the stored object IDs "#a01", "#a02", "#b01", "#A", "#a03", "#a12", "#b03", "#A", " #b02''... are associated with each other. In the example of FIG. 7, an ID made up of lowercase alphabets and numbers indicates a storage bag, and an ID made up of uppercase letters indicates a storage box.

Among the IDs of storage bags, IDs with the same lowercase alphabet indicate the same deck. For example, the accommodated object IDs "#a01" and "#a02" include the common lowercase alphabet "a" and are associated with the deck ID "#a." In other words, the card IDs "#0001", "#0122", "#1235", and "#3216" that are associated with the stored object IDs "#a01", "#a02", "#a03", and "#a12" are , and the deck ID "#a", indicating that the cards are combined in the same deck (deck a).

Regarding the card with card ID "#0001," the item "No." indicates that the user owns two cards with numbers "001" and "002." Regarding the card with the card ID "#0001", the card with the number "001" is accommodated in the object with the accommodation object ID "#a01" and organized into the deck ID "#a". Further, the card with the number "002" is accommodated in the object with the accommodation object ID "#c01" and organized into the deck ID "#c". For example, the terminal device 10 registers a record in the card information 181 by reading information that identifies the storage bag that accommodates the card and information that identifies the card. At this time, by reading the identification information of the card that has already been registered in the card information 181, the terminal device 10 determines that the user holds multiple identical cards, and identifies each of the multiple cards that the user holds. Determine the value of the item "No." so that the cards can be distinguished.

Additionally, card IDs “#0323”, “#0016”, and “#0021” that are associated with stored object IDs “#b01”, “#b03”, and “#b02” correspond to deck ID “#b”. This indicates that the cards are combined in the same deck (deck b).

On the other hand, card IDs "#0014" and "#7D1f" associated with storage object ID "#A" (storage box A) have "-" (NULL) in the item "deck ID" and constitute a deck. This indicates that it is not a card that can be used.

The deck information 182 includes the item "deck ID", the item "deck card", the item "desired card ID", and the item "subcard ID".

The item "deck ID" is information for identifying a deck, as described above.

The item "deck card" is information for identifying cards that constitute a deck. In other words, the item "deck card" is a card registered in the deck. Note that the card information shown in the item “deck card” is associated with the item “card ID” in the card information 181. Therefore, the terminal device 10 can identify the location of each card organized in the deck (in which storage object it is stored) based on the card information 181 and the deck information 182.

The item "desired card ID" is information for identifying a card (desired card) that the user wants to incorporate into the deck. Desired cards may be cards that the user does not own, or cards that are included in the deck but have not reached the maximum number of identical cards in the deck and have room to be added to the deck. You can also use it as That is, the card indicated by the desired card information may be a card that is not included in the card information 181. The terminal device 10 receives an operation from the user to designate a desired card in association with information for identifying the deck, and then receives information for identifying the deck (item "deck ID") in the deck information 182. The item "desired card ID" is updated in association with this. That is, the terminal device 10 holds information identifying the desired card specified by the user in the item "desired card ID." The terminal device 10 displays the cards constituting the deck (information in the item "deck card") and the desired card on the screen in association with information that identifies the deck. By referring to the information on the desired cards registered in the deck, the user can easily grasp the new cards that need to be owned in order to construct the deck.

The item "sub card ID" is information for identifying a card (sub card) that the user holds and that the user wants to incorporate into the deck. That is, the card indicated by the sub-card information is a card included in the card information 181. Furthermore, the sub card information is a card that has already been incorporated into another deck, and the physical location of the card indicated by the sub card is not the deck with which the sub card information is associated. The terminal device 10 displays the cards constituting the deck (information in the item "deck card") and subcards on the screen in association with information that identifies the deck. As described above, since desired cards and sub cards are managed separately in the terminal device 10, the user can obtain new cards necessary for constructing the deck by referring to the information of the sub cards registered in the deck. You don't have to put the card in the deck, and you can easily figure out which deck to search for to find the card you want.

In the example of FIG. 7, deck ID "#a" is associated with card IDs "#0011", "#0122", "#1235", "#3216", etc., and deck a is associated with card ID This indicates that the card is composed of a combination of cards identified by "#0011", "#0122", "#1235", "#3216", etc. Further, the deck ID "#a" is associated with the desired card IDs "#1100" and "#0102" and the sub card ID "#0014." Therefore, it can be easily understood that "#1100" and "#0102" are cards that the user does not possess.

Similarly, for the deck ID "#b", the item "deck card", the item "desired card ID", and the item "sub card ID" are associated, but in this example, the item "desired card ID" is "-" (NULL), indicating that the desired card information is not registered. On the other hand, the sub card ID "#0122" is associated, but this sub card is associated with the deck ID "#a" as a deck card. By referring to this information, if the user wants to play a game with deck ID "#b", he/she can incorporate "#0014", which is not associated with any deck, into the deck, and also insert deck ID "#a" into the deck. By searching, you can easily understand that it is sufficient to incorporate "#0122".

<3 Operation>
Hereinafter, a process for managing multiple cards used by the user in the TCG will be described.

FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a process in which a user manages a card. It goes without saying that the order of each process is not limited to the example shown in FIG.

In step S601, the terminal device 10 reads the card information using the camera 160, and stores the read card information in the card information 181 of the storage unit 180. Note that in order to read the information on the card, the terminal device 10 may use an audio reading means in addition to an optical reading means (such as photographing the card with the camera 160). For example, the terminal device 10 receives voice input from the user through the microphone 141. The voice input includes receiving, through the microphone 141, the voice of the user reading out information for identifying the card. The terminal device 10 uses the microphone 141 to acquire, for example, the voice emitted by the user by reading information written on the card, such as the character name associated with the card, parameters of the character, and skills. The terminal device 10 performs voice recognition processing on the acquired voice based on information on terms that can be written on the card (character name, skill name, various parameter amounts (physical strength, etc.)). Card information can be stored in card information 181. For example, the terminal device 10 stores a card ID (identifier) as a card held by the user based on the information of the read card. It also transmits card information to the server 20.

In step S651, the server 20 stores the received card information in the user information database 281 as a card held by the user by associating the user ID that identifies the user with the card ID. Note that here, the server 20 compares card information registered in advance in the card information database 282 as cards to be used in TCG matches, and determines whether the card read by the terminal device 10 is a pre-registered card. It may be checked whether or not. If the card is not registered, the terminal device 10 may be notified of, for example, an "error (misrecognition)." Furthermore, if the card is registered, information such as the character displayed on the card and the strength of the card may be sent to the terminal device 10 as the card information. Further, step S601 and step S651 may be configured to be repeated until all cards held by the user are stored in the storage unit.

In step S603, the terminal device 10 reads the marker attached to the object that accommodates the card and acquires the identifier of the object that accommodates the card. Then, the identifier of the object to be accommodated is transmitted to the server 20.

In step S653, the server 20 collates the identifier of the object to be accommodated with the information stored in the accommodated object database 283, and transmits information regarding the object to be accommodated to the terminal device 10. For example, a character or pattern displayed on the accommodated object that is associated with the identifier of the accommodated object, image data indicating the accommodated object, etc. are transmitted. In the example of FIG. 8, the server 20 determines that the object to be accommodated is a storage bag as a result of the verification, and transmits information about the storage bag to the terminal device 10. Based on the received information, the terminal device 10 displays the storage bag on a display and presents it to the user.

In step S605, the terminal device 10 receives an operation from the user to associate the card ID stored in the card information 181 with the presented storage bag. Here, the terminal device 10 determines whether information regarding the storage bag is stored in the card information 181. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the deck identifier previously assigned to the storage bag is stored in the card information 181.

In step S607, if the terminal device 10 determines that the deck identifier is not stored, the terminal device 10 associates the card ID with the storage bag ID and the deck ID based on the read information regarding the storage bag and stores the card information 181. to be memorized. Furthermore, deck information in which the deck ID and card ID are associated is generated and stored in the deck information 182.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the deck identifier is stored, the card ID associated with the storage bag ID is added as a card constituting the deck, and the deck information 182 is updated.

In step S655, the server 20 stores the deck information generated or updated in step S607 in the user information database 281.

In step S609, the terminal device 10 stores the association between the card ID and the storage bag ID in the card information 181 in response to the operation in step S605, and transmits the association to the server 20.

In step S657, the server 20 stores the card ID and the storage bag ID in the user information database 281 in association with each other.

As described above, the user can manage the cards by storing the cards held in association with the stored objects and the decks.

FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a process in which a user registers desired card information or sub-card information and updates deck information.

In step S701, the terminal device 10 receives an operation for associating a card ID and a deck ID from the user. The terminal device 10 may acquire the card ID from an identifier input by the user, a photographed image, or the like.

In step S703, the terminal device 10 refers to the card information 181 and determines whether the card ID in step S701 is a card held by the user.

In step S705, if it is determined in step S703 that the card is not held by the user, the terminal device 10 associates the card ID with the deck ID as desired card information, and updates the deck information. On the other hand, if it is determined that the card is held by the user, the card ID is associated with the deck ID as sub-card information, and the deck information is updated. The terminal device 10 transmits the updated deck information to the server 20.

In step S751, the server 20 updates deck information based on the received information.

As described above, the user can manage the deck by storing the deck in association with desired card information and sub-card information.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an operation performed by a user on a card displayed on a display and an object to be accommodated.

FIG. 10(A) is an example of an operation for associating a card with a storage bag, and FIG. 10(B) is an example of a screen that presents a user with a card that is associated with an object to be accommodated.

In FIG. 10A, the display 130 of the terminal device 10 shows a card 301 read by the camera 160, and a plurality of storage bags 302 and a plurality of storage boxes 303 stored in the storage unit.

The user can associate the card 301 with the storage bag 302 by, for example, dragging the card 301 in the direction of the arrow with a finger or the like. In FIG. 10(A), "card #0001" and "accommodation bag #a01" are associated. Also, if you move the card 301 to the displayed position on the storage bag 302 and keep your finger pressed down for a predetermined period of time, the card 301 will be moved to the storage bag 302 at the frontmost storage bag (in this example, "accommodation bag #a01"). Instead, a plurality of storage bags placed in the back row are displayed in order, and the user can remove the finger that was holding down the card 301 from the display at the timing when the storage bag with which the user wishes to associate is displayed, and the user can select the card 301 and the storage bag. It may be configured to be associated with the bag 302.

In FIG. 10B, the display 130 of the terminal device 10 shows a card 312 accommodated in the storage bag 302 and a card group 313 accommodated in the storage box 303.

For example, by tapping the storage bag 302 or the storage box 303 with a finger, the user displays which card the storage bag 302 or the storage box 303 is associated with (that is, which card it stores). be able to. In addition, if you keep your finger pressed at the position of the storage bag 302 for a predetermined period of time, a plurality of storage bags arranged in the back row will be placed in place of the frontmost storage bag (in this example, "accommodation bag #b03"). The storage bags 302 are displayed in order, and the user can remove the finger that was holding down the storage bag 302 from the display at the timing when the storage bag in which the user wishes to present the stored card is displayed. It may be configured to present a card associated with the storage bag 302 that was displayed before the count.

<Modified example>
(1) In the description of the above embodiment, in FIG. 3, a marker 97 is attached to an object that accommodates a card (accommodation bag 96), and the marker 97 is attached by taking a picture with the camera 160 of the terminal device 10. An example of reading information was explained. In other words, by reading the markers attached to the storage bags and storage boxes, each object containing a card can be identified.

In addition, the terminal device 10 may only identify the appearance (design, pattern) of the object that accommodates the card and identify the type of the object, but may not identify objects of the same type. good. For example, in the storage bag 96, a transparent or translucent material is used for the covering member that covers the surface on which card information is displayed (front surface), and the surface on which card information is not displayed (front surface) is made of a transparent or translucent material. As for the covering member that covers the back side (opposite side), it is assumed that some have patterns, backgrounds, characters, etc. drawn on them. For example, a user purchases a product containing a plurality of storage bags of the same design at a store or the like.

The terminal device 10 can recognize the design of each storage bag 96 by photographing the covering member of the storage bag 96 with the camera 160 or the like.

Here, it is assumed that the user stores the cards composing the deck in the storage bag 96 of the same design. Thereby, the terminal device 10 can manage the recognition result of the design of the storage bag 96 as information for identifying the deck. In other words, the terminal device 10 associates the storage bag 96 of the first design with the cards accommodated in the plurality of storage bags 96 of the first design and manages them as one deck. The terminal device 10 may manage the item "card ID" in the card information 181 of FIG. 7 in association with the reading result of the design of the storage bag 96 (deck ID).

In addition, information on the design of the storage bag 96 and the deck corresponding to the design is displayed on the terminal device 10 or the like so that the user can easily confirm the design of the storage bag 96 and the deck corresponding to the design. It may be possible to confirm it.

For example, the terminal device 10 may display the design of the storage bag 96 and the deck corresponding to the design on the display 132. For example, assume that the user has registered a plurality of decks and the design of the storage bag 96 corresponding to each deck in the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 displays, on the display 132, images showing the designs of the storage bags 96 registered as decks, by arranging them or the like. The terminal device 10 accepts an input operation from the user to designate the design of the storage bag 96, and in response to the input operation, information on the cards (card pattern, card design, etc.) constituting the deck corresponding to the design. various parameters to be set, etc.) are displayed on the display 132. Note that, on one screen, the terminal device 10 has an area for accepting input operations for specifying the design of the storage bag 96, and an area for displaying information on cards forming the deck corresponding to the specified design. may be displayed together.

This allows the user to more easily recognize which deck the design of the storage bag 96 corresponds to. For example, in a competition, etc., the user can easily grasp the design of the storage bag 96 used in the TCG competition while checking the contents of the deck by operating the terminal device 10.

Further, the server 20 may manage the design of each user's storage bag 96 and information on the deck corresponding to each design. Thereby, the terminal device 10 may receive an operation from the user that allows the user to refer to information on the deck of another user who has competed in a competition tournament or the like, based on the design of the storage bag 96 of the other user.

For example, assume that each user has registered deck information in advance in the server 20 or the like in a competition or the like. The terminal device 10 requests the server 20 for information on the design of the storage bag 96 of a user different from the user of the terminal device 10 and the deck corresponding to the design. In response to the request, the server 20 transmits information about the design of each user's storage bag 96 and the deck corresponding to the design to the terminal device 10. Thereby, the user can refer to the information of the opponent user's deck using the design of the storage bag 96 used by the other user during the competition as a clue.

(2) In the above embodiments, the cards are stored in a storage bag or a storage box, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the cards stored in the storage bag may be stored in a storage box.
