And the story creation part 21 produces | generates the play table for storing the play information of the play along a story for every player in a database. The story creation unit 21 is implemented in the server device 1, for example.

The play information storage unit 22 stores (stores) play information relating to the play played by the player along the story created by the player in the play table created by the story creation unit 21. Here, as play information, for example, action log (information such as when, where to move from, who to do with, etc.), information on weapons, clothes, etc. equipped at that time There is. For example, when the player defeats a dragon or the like, the play information storage unit 22 also stores the type, image, or the like of the defeated dragon as play information.
When the player is acting with a friend in the RPG, the play information storage unit 22 stores the play information of the friend as information on the characters in the story in the player's play table.
In this way, when this player chooses to create a book, not only information about this player but also information about his / her friends (information about his / her images and actions taken by his / her friends) is acquired. Can be included in the content of the book.
Note that the play information storage unit 22 is implemented in the server device 1, for example.

  The play information acquisition unit 23 acquires the play information of the player from the play information stored (saved) in the previous play table based on the display request of the book related to the story by the player. As described above, this play information includes play information of a friend player who played RPG along the story or a chapter constituting the story together with the player. In addition, the play information acquisition part 23 is mounted in the server apparatus 1 and a mobile phone, for example.

  The book display unit 24 creates a book about the story using the play information acquired by the play information acquisition unit 23 based on a book display request by the player, and displays the book on the display of the mobile phone. The display unit 24 is mounted on a mobile phone, for example.

  The editing unit 25 edits a book related to a story displayed on the main display unit 24 based on an editing operation or the like by a player. For example, the editing unit 25 deletes a part of the contents of the book or inserts a conjunction based on an editing operation by the player.

  The on-demand publication request unit 26 requests a publisher to publish a book on demand based on a publication request by a player.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of processing in the online RPG system.
In step S <b> 20, the mobile phone transmits information (scenario selection information) regarding selection of a plurality of scenarios to be branched to the server device 1 in accordance with the player's selection operation. Here, FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection screen displayed on the mobile phone of the player.
The player first selects one title from 90 titles.
Next, the player selects one cause from among three causes for each title.
Next, the player selects one result from three patterns for each title.
In this way, when the player performs a selection operation such as title selection, cause selection, and result selection, the mobile phone transmits scenario selection information, which is the selection information, to the server device 1. Note that the screen as shown in FIG. 6 is controlled by the server device 1 and displayed on the mobile phone. Therefore, it can be paraphrased that the server apparatus 1 acquires scenario selection information.

In step S21, the server apparatus 1 creates and registers a story based on the received (or acquired) scenario selection information. As stories, for example: ・ The story of the player becoming a hero and saving the city ・ The story of the hero who rescues the captive princess ・ The story of the adventurer who solves the mystery of the labyrinth ・ The story of the hero who defeats the dragon who lives in the legendary mountain ・ The wasteland The story of a pioneer who pioneered and started a new city.

  Next, in step S22, the player plays the RPG along the story created by the player on the mobile phone. Then, in step S23, the server device 1 stores the player's play information in the play table. When the player plays RPG together with another player, as described above, the server device 1 stores the play information of the other players as information on the characters in the story in the play table.

  When one or more chapters constituting a story or a story are cleared, the player operates the mobile phone to display the cleared story or scenario as a book. Then, in step S <b> 24, the mobile phone transmits a book display request including identification information for identifying the player to the server device 1. Next, in step S25, the server device 1 obtains play information from the corresponding play table based on the player identification information included in the book display request, and provides it to the requesting mobile phone. In addition, the server device 1 has an image (for example, a background image) according to a story created by the player, an image according to play information (an image according to a rescued princess, an image according to a defeated dragon, etc.) ) And provide it to the requesting mobile phone

  If play information and an image are acquired from the server apparatus 1, a mobile telephone will generate and display a book combining play information and an image in step S26. Here, when the player selects to edit a book and performs an editing operation, the mobile phone edits the generated book in step S27. For example, a mobile phone deletes a part of a book or inserts a conjunction based on an editing operation by a user.

When the editing operation is completed and the user performs an operation for requesting publication, in step S28, the mobile phone performs editing of the book data and information such as the name, phone number, and address of the user registered in advance ( Data) to the printing company and request publication. Then, book data and the like are sent to a printing company, printed and bound, and the book reaches the address. Note that when the user information is not registered in advance, the mobile phone may allow the user to input information to be transmitted to the printing company.
FIG. 7 is an image diagram of a book that has been bound.
