 Go game system

 Technical field

 TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a game system for Go that allows a player to play a game of Go through a network.

 Background art

 [0002] With the spread of the Internet, a Go game system that allows players to play directly over a network without facing each other has recently developed. The following patent documents 1 to 5 exist as such a game system of Go.

 [0003] When playing Go, the opponent's rank (this is called the rank) is very important as a guide. This is because it is usually the most enjoyable to play against opponents of the same or previous ranks because their abilities are close to each other.

 [0004] Therefore, as shown in the following patent document! /, As in the past, according to the outcome of the game, the points are calculated by a predetermined method (for example, using an ELO system), and the results are The player's rank is elevated (promoted) and descended (degraded). For example, if the number of points required for the second stage is 24,700 points, if a player's points have increased to 24,500 points and 25,000 points as a result of the game, they will exceed 24,700 points. Therefore, the person ascends from the first stage to the second stage. On the other hand, if the player's point is reduced to 24,500 points from the 25,000 points force as a result of the game, it is lower than 24,700 points, so it is lowered from the second stage to the first stage.

 [0005] That is, according to the points calculated based on the result of the new game, if the value exceeds a predetermined value, the level is increased (promoted), and if the value is below the predetermined value, the level is decreased (degraded). And the point that becomes the standard for this ascending (raising) 'falling (grading) is the same. For example, if the point that is the standard for ascending (raising) and descending (degrading) is 24,700 points, if the player's point is 24,700 points or more, the point is raised from the first to the second, If the person's point is less than 24,700 points, the two-step force will drop to the first step.

 Disclosure of the invention

 Problems to be solved by the invention

 [0007] However, according to the conventional standards of ascending (raising) and descending (descending), a person who has just been promoted (raised) can win even if he plays against the opponent who has held the same rank for a long time. In many cases, the possibility is that it will descend as soon as the loss is high. That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the point frequently moves up and down (upgrade) and downgrade (downgrade) points. This can reduce the willingness to use the game system from the viewpoint of the user of the game system, resulting in a loss of user utility.

 [0008] Also, unlike Shogi and chess, in Go, when playing against opponents of different ranks, in order to eliminate the difference in ability, usually according to the difference of ranks (normally one difference) If you have one child (one meteorite) and a lower rank, place a set number of stones on the board in advance, and then play with a handicap called a game to play. There are many. Therefore, the rank in Go is not only an element that objectively shows the player's ability to a third party, but also an extremely important element for calculating the handicap at the time of the actual game. ing.

 [0009] In general, in the case of a player who is before or after the ascending (promoting) 'descending (descending) point, the ability is high at the rank that he currently belongs to (can be promoted (promoted) because it is high). It is considered that the ability is low in the ranks of the grades. As a result, even if it is possible to go up the rank (promotion), it is easy to lose because it is still inexperienced at the higher rank. Therefore, ascending (raising) points and descending (grading) points are frequently moved up and down. Then, with the conventional standards as described above, it is easy to move up and down (upgrade) and downgrade (downgrade) points. This will result in damage to

Means for solving the problem [0010] Therefore, the present inventor immediately sets the difference between the player's ascending (raising) point and descending (descending) point as the same point, so We have invented a game system of Go that does not go.

 [0011] In such a game system of Go, the game system of Go that calculates the points after winning or losing by adjusting the points added or subtracted at the time of winning or losing according to the rank of the player. Was invented.

 [0012] Furthermore, when the number of games is small, there is a difference in the reflection of points that are added or subtracted when winning or losing

Based on this, the game system of Go that calculates the points after winning or losing was invented.

[0013] The invention of claim 1 is a game of Go between a first player terminal used by a first player and a second player terminal used by a second player via a network. A game system for Go, wherein the game system of Go includes player information storage means for storing each player's rank and current point, and points for promotion / promotion of each rank. And lowering level / degrading point are stored, and the lowering level 'degrading point is set lower than the rising level of the same level' by a predetermined point. Game processing means for performing game processing of Go between the first player terminal and the second player terminal via the network, and the first player and the second player by winning or losing the game How much the user's point changes will be based on a preset basic point A point calculation processing means for calculating the points, and a point notification processing means for notifying the first player terminal and the second player terminal of a change in points due to a win and loss calculated by the point calculation processing means, In accordance with the winning or losing of the game in the game processing means, the current point of the first player and the second player is calculated using the points calculated by the point calculation processing means, so that a new Points update processing means to be stored in the player information storage means as points, and a rank that is one level higher than the rank of the winner in the game 'Promotion point and the rank of the loser in the game The rank downgrade / degrade point is extracted from the rank rank information storage means, and the updated point of the winner is compared with the extracted ascension point 'elevation point'. If the criteria are met, the winner's rank is updated to the next higher rank and stored in the player information storage means, and the updated points of the loser and the extracted downgrade / downgrade are extracted. Compared with points, updated points If the above-mentioned criteria for lowering / degrading are satisfied, the rank update processing means for updating the loser's rank by one lower rank and storing it in the player information storage means, It is a game system of Go.

 [0014] As in the present invention, the game system of Go where the ascending point and descending point are set to have a width makes it possible for a player who has a force to be promoted (raised) immediately It is possible to prevent a situation where the player falls down. In other words, in the case of a player who is before and after the ascending (raising) 'descending (descending) point, his ability is high (high, can be ascending (raising)), In the upper rank, the ability is low !, (It is considered that there is a difference in ability from the person who is in that rank in the past). Then, even if the ascending stage comes out, it will be easy to lose in a single rank, so it will descend immediately. Therefore, ascending (raising) points and descending (grading) points are frequently moved up and down.

 [0015] In the case of Go, the rank is directly connected to the handicap as described above, so it is not preferable that the rank is frequently raised and lowered in a short period of time. However, by configuring as in the present invention, even if the level is increased (elevated), the level is not lowered immediately (degraded), and the user's patience is improved.

[0016] The invention of claim 2 is a game of Go between a first player terminal used by a first player and a second player terminal used by a second player via a network. A game system for Go, wherein the game system of Go includes player information storage means for storing each player's rank and current point, and points for promotion / promotion of each rank. And lowering level / degrading point are stored, and the lowering level 'degrading point is set lower than the rising level of the same level' by a predetermined point. Game processing means for performing game processing of Go between the first player terminal and the second player terminal via the network, and the first player and the second player by winning or losing the game How much the user's point increases or decreases based on a preset basic point A point calculation processing means for calculating the points, and a point notification processing means for notifying the first player terminal and the second player terminal of the increase / decrease of points due to the win / loss calculated by the point calculation processing means, The points calculated by the point calculation processing means are added to or subtracted from the current points of the first player and the second player in accordance with the win or loss of the game by the game processing means. By doing so, the point update processing means stored as new points in the player information storage means, the rank of the rank higher than the rank of the winner in the game, the promotion point, and the point The lower rank / degrade point of the loser's rank in the game is extracted from the rank information storage means, and the updated point of the winner is compared with the extracted ascension 'promotion point and updated. If the later point is the same as or larger than the promotion / promotion point, the winner's rank is updated to the next higher rank and stored in the player information storage means. The points are compared with the extracted downgrade / downgrade points, and if the updated point is the same or smaller than the downgrade / downgrade points, the rank of the loser is updated to the next lower rank. Level to be stored in the player information storage means When the rank is updated by the update processing means and the above-mentioned rank rank update processing means, a stage for notifying the player terminal used by the player that the rank has been changed. A game system of Go having a rank notification processing means.

 [0017] The invention of claim 1 can also be configured as in the present invention. Even with this configuration, the same effect as the invention of claim 1 can be obtained.

[0018] In the invention of claim 3, the point calculation processing means extracts the ranks of the first player and the second player and the current point from the player information storage means, The ranks of the first player and the second player are compared. If the ranks are the same, the basic point is added to the current point to add the first player and the second player. The points when the two players win are calculated, and the basic points are subtracted from the current points to calculate the points when the first player and the second player lose, When the rank is different, when a player who is higher in the player wins by adding a point obtained by subtracting a point corresponding to a preset adjustment rate from the basic point to the current point. The point is calculated and adjusted to the basic point. A point obtained by adding a point corresponding to the rate to the current point is added to calculate the point when the lower player among the players wins, and the adjustment point is equivalent to the basic point. The point when the higher player among the players loses is calculated by subtracting the point obtained by adding the points to be played from the current point, and the point corresponding to the adjustment rate is subtracted from the basic point. Subtracted from the current point The game system of Go, which calculates the points when the lower player loses among the players.

 [0019] When there is a rank between players, it is usually arbitrary whether to apply a handicap called a device or not. Therefore, if the player has a sneak power, there is a difference in ability between the players, so it is not preferable to add or subtract points as they are. Therefore, the user spirit is improved by using the adjustment factor as in the present invention.

 [0020] In the invention of claim 4, a plurality of the basic points are set according to the number of players of the player, and the player information storage means further stores the number of players of the player The point calculation processing means further extracts the number of games of the first player and the second player from the player information storage means during the calculation of the points, and responds to the number of games. This is a Go game system that calculates the above points using the same basic points.

 [0021] As in the present invention, the basic points may be configured to change according to the number of games. This is to reflect points more accurately when the number of games is small.

 [0022] According to the invention of claim 5, the calculation of the increase or decrease of points due to winning or losing by the point calculation processing means, and the processing of notifying each player terminal by the point notification processing means are the first player and the first It is a game system of Go that is performed before the game of two players.

 [0023] By notifying points at the time of winning or losing before the game in this way, it is possible to give the player a sense of tension and expectation, and to improve entertainment.

 The invention's effect

 [0024] With the game system of Go of the present invention, the player's points do not frequently go up and down in a short period across the ascending (raising) and descending (degrading) points. Lowering can be prevented, and the user's friendliness can be improved.

 [0025] Then, the game system takes into account the unique feature of Go, a handicap based on rank, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved as compared with the conventional game.

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

 FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an example of the system configuration of Go game system 1 (hereinafter, game system 1) according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of functions of the game system 1, and FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of a computer terminal that executes the game system 1.

 The game system 1 functions on a computer terminal that can transmit and receive data to and from the computer terminal used by each player via the network 11. The computer terminal that executes the game system 1 is preferably mainly a server, but is not limited thereto. In this specification, the computer terminal includes a server. As shown in FIG. 2, the computer terminal has an input device 20, an output device 21, a communication device 22, an arithmetic processing device 23, and a storage device 24.

 [0030] The input device 20 corresponds to a keyboard or a mouse for inputting data to a computer terminal. The output device 21 corresponds to the output device 21 such as a display, a printer, a speaker or the like for displaying the calculation processing result of the computer terminal. The communication device 22 is a device that transmits / receives data to / from the player terminal 10 via the network 11, and the arithmetic processing device 23 is a device that executes arithmetic processing of a program, and corresponds to a CPU, a register, and the like. The storage device 24 is a device for storing data used in the program or the program itself, and corresponds to RAM, hard disk, magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, and the like.

[0031] When the program (Go game) for realizing the game system 1 of the present invention is read into the arithmetic processing device 23, the arithmetic processing of each means shown in FIG. The game system 1 is realized with a computer terminal. Memory The device 24 stores the data of each storage means used in the game system 1 in various storage formats such as a database and a data file.

 The game system 1 includes a game processor 2, a point calculation processor 3, a point notification processor 4, a point update processor 5, a rank update processor 6, a rank notification processor 7 and a game. Person information storage means 8 and stage rank information storage means 9 are provided.

 [0033] The game processing means 2 is means for executing a game of Go between the players. Specifically, log-in management from each player terminal 10 to the game system 1, a certain player terminal 10 (game Player A's player terminal 10) also receives the application for the game, transmits it to the other player's player terminal 10 (player B's player terminal 10), and from player B's player terminal 10 When the game acceptance notification is received, the result is further transmitted to the player terminal 10 of the player A, and the game processing of Go is performed between the player terminal 10 of the player A and the player B via the network 11. Realize. If a player rejection notification is received from player B's player terminal 10, the result is further transmitted to player A's player terminal 10.

 [0034] The game processing of Go can use the game system 1 of Go via the publicly known network 11, receives hand information received from one player terminal 10, and uses it as a partner player. By transmitting to terminal 10, each other's hands are reflected on the virtual board, and the game of Go can be played via network 11.

 [0035] The point calculation processing means 3 is a means for calculating a change in how much the point increases or decreases when the player plays against the other player. The point calculation depends on the number of players in the player and the number of players in the past. For example, if the number of players in the past is 50, the number will increase or decrease by ± 150 points, if the number of stations is 51-100, ± 120 points. In other words, when the game is won, a predetermined point according to the number of games is added to the point before the game, and when the game is lost, the predetermined point according to the number of games is subtracted from the point before the game. Note that when the number of games is small, for example, 1 to 20 stations, etc., the ability determination may not be performed accurately. Also good.

[0036] The above points are when playing against an opponent of the same rank, and further, the difference in the opponent's rank is different. When there is a handicap such as a set and there is no handicap, the point to be added or subtracted may be further adjusted. For example, when there is no level difference, the adjustment rate is ± 0% (no adjustment), when the level difference is 1 level (class), the adjustment rate is 16%, and the level difference is 2 levels (class). If the difference is ± 28%, and the difference in grade is 3 (class), the adjustment rate is multiplied by the adjustment rate, such as ± 36%. Here, when the higher player wins the lower player, the adjustment rate is negative, and the adjustment rate is multiplied by the percentage obtained by subtracting the predetermined adjustment rate from the points originally obtained (basic points). Also, if the lower player wins the higher player, the adjustment rate is positive, and then multiplied by the percentage obtained by adding the predetermined adjustment rate from the points originally obtained (basic points).

 [0037] For example, if the number of players of both players is 101 or more and there is one stage difference, if the lower player wins the higher player, 116 points will be given to the lower player. (100 X (1 + 0. 16)) is added (the losing top player may subtract 100 points of a given point as it is, or 100 points multiplied by an adjustment rate of 16%. You can also subtract points). Also, if both players have 101 or more games and the rank difference is 2 tiers S, if the higher player wins the lower player, 72 points (100 X (1-0. 28)) is added (the losing lower player may subtract 100 points for a given point as it is, or 100 points multiplied by an adjustment rate of 28% 7 2 points Also good as subtraction of). Figure 14 shows a conceptual diagram of the adjustment rate.

 [0038] By changing the points to be added / subtracted according to the rank difference in this way, even when there is a rank difference, the game can be played with a sense of tension. The basic points (basic points) for changing according to such an adjustment rate are set in advance by the operator who operates the game system 1 and stored in the storage device 24. This setting can be made by the operator inputting from the input device 20.

[0039] The point notification processing means 4 is calculated by the point calculation processing means 3, the increase / decrease points when the player plays with the opponent player, the ascending (raising) points and the descending (falling) points of the player. Is a means for receiving points from the point calculation processing means 3 and notifying the player terminal 10 of each player. This notification is preferably performed before the game. This is because the motivation of the player can be aroused by notifying before the game. In addition, this specification Ascending (promoting) points and descending (destroying) points in the document are the standard points and descending (degrading) points to be promoted (promoted) when they are the same or larger than the points specified there. If it is the same or smaller than the point, it means the reference point to be downgraded.

 [0040] The point update processing means 5 receives the result of winning or losing from the game processing means 2 after the game of each player is completed, and the points calculated by the point calculation processing means 3 according to the result are each player It is a means of increasing / decreasing each time and storing it in the player information storage means 8 as a new point.

 [0041] The rank-level update processing means 6 receives the result of winning or losing from the game processing means 2 after each player's game is completed, and the player updated by the point update processing means 5 according to the result. Are compared with the ascending (promoting) points and descending (descending) points stored in the rank information storage means 9, and if the winner exceeds the ascending (promoting) points, the player's The rank is updated to a new rank and stored in the player information storage means 8, and if the loser falls below the drop (downgrade) point! It is a means of updating to the rank and storing it in the player information storage means 8.

 [0042] The rank notification processing means 7 receives the update result when the player's rank is updated by the rank update processing means 6, and receives a new rank at the player terminal 10 of the player. It is a means of sending a grade notification.

 [0043] The player information storage means 8 includes player attribute information (identification information such as name, address, contact information, e-mail address, gender, age, etc.), rank, points, number of past games, winning It is a means of memorizing numbers and losing numbers. FIG. 5 shows a conceptual diagram of the player information storage means 8.

The rank information storage means 9 is a means for storing ascending (raising) points and descending (grading) points for each rank. Figure 6 shows a conceptual diagram of the rank information storage means 9. The descending (degrading) point is a point smaller than the ascending (raising) point of the same rank by a predetermined point! Predetermined points are the minimum unit of points (the minimum unit subject to point calculation processing. If the minimum unit is an integer, 1 is 1 unit, and if the minimum unit is 1 decimal place, it is 0. 1 is 1 unit) and points more than 2 units. Therefore, the ascending (raising) point and the descending (grading) point are not the same point and are set not to be adjacent to each other in the minimum unit of points. When points are expressed as integers, Into and downgrade (downgrade) points are at least 2 points away, and if the upgrade (upgrade) point is 10,000, the downgrade (downgrade) point is 9,998 or less.

[0045] Each means in the present invention is logically distinguished only in its function, and may be physically or practically the same area! /. Various formats can be used for storing data in the storage means, such as databases and data files.

 Next, an example of the processing process of the game system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 and 4 and the system configuration diagrams of FIGS. In the present embodiment, the case where the player A and the player B play a game and the player is in the state shown in FIG. 5 will be described. Further, in this embodiment, the case where each player possesses a rank will be described, but the processing can be similarly realized even if it is a rank. Note that the process indicated by the broken line V in the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 and 4 means that one of the processes is shifted.

 [0047] Both player A and player B access the game system 1 via the network 11 by performing predetermined operations from their respective player terminals 10, and input authentication information such as IDs and passwords. To send a login request. At this time, authentication information is transmitted from each player terminal 10.

 When the log-in request and the authentication information are received via the communication device 22, the game processing means 2 collates the received authentication information with the authentication information stored in the player information storage means 8, and they match. Login is permitted, and if they do not match, a re-input instruction is transmitted. In this way, each player performs login processing (S100, S110).

 [0049] Each player terminal 10 displays a screen as shown in Fig. 7 after logging in to the game system 1, and by selecting "game" from that screen, the game system 1 is currently accessing the game system 1. A waiting list is displayed. Figure 8 shows this screen. The player (here, Player A) selects the other party who wants to play (here, Player B) and presses the “Apply” button in FIG. The game application is transmitted to the game system 1 via 11 (S120).

[0050] The application for the game from the player terminal 10A is received by the game processing means 2 via the communication device 22, and the game processing means 2 notifies the player terminal 10B that the application for the game has been received. twenty two (SI 30). In this case, it is recommended to extract the identification information (handle name, etc.) of player A who applied for the game, the rank, the number of past games, etc. from the player information storage means 8, and send them together. . When the player application 10B received from the player system 1 is received by the player terminal 10B, the predetermined display shown in FIG. 9 is made, so that the player B knows that the application has been made to himself / herself. Player B then considers whether or not to accept the application (S 150), and if he / she declines, by pressing the “Decline” button from FIG. 9, the notification is also sent to the player system 1 by the player terminal 10B. It is transmitted via the network 11 (S160).

 [0051] Upon receiving the "decline" notification transmitted from the player terminal 10B via the communication device 22, the player processing means 2 further receives the notification, and the player of the player A who applied for the player A The data is transmitted to the terminal 10A via the communication device 22 (S170). When the player terminal 10A receives the “decline” notification transmitted from the player system 1, the screen shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the player terminal 10A (S180). As a result, the player A knows that the application for the game has been refused, and searches for another player again (S190).

 [0052] On the other hand, as a result of the review of S150, when the player B accepts the application for the game, by pressing the “accept” button from FIG. 9, the notification is also sent to the player system 10B. Is transmitted via the network 11 (S200).

 The game processing means 2 that receives the “acceptance” notification transmitted from the player terminal 10 via the communication device 22 further receives the notification, and the player of the player A who applied for the game The data is transmitted to the terminal 10A via the communication device 22 (S210). When the “accept” notification transmitted from the game system 1 is received by the player terminal 10A, the game screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the player terminal 10A (S220). At this time, the game screen shown in FIG. 11 is also displayed on the screen of the player terminal 10B.

 [0054] When the game processing means 2 receives a notification of "acceptance" from the player terminal 10B (S210), the point calculation processing means 3 determines that when the player A and the player B play a game, The force by which each point increases or decreases is calculated based on the player information storage means 8 (S230).

[0055] Specifically, the point calculation processing means 3 first determines the ranks of players A and B, Int and the number of games are extracted from the player information storage means 8. Player A and Player B are both in two stages and the number of players is 101 or more, so the adjustment rate is ± 0% (no adjustment). Therefore, if player A wins, the player A's current point (26750) is calored by 100, and 26850 points. If player A loses, player A's current point (267 50) Power 100 is subtracted 26650 points, if Player B wins, 100 is added to Player B's current point (24450), and if Player B loses, Player B's current Subtract 100 from the points (24450) to calculate 24350 points. The points added when winning and the points subtracted when losing may be the same points or different points. Also, 100 points is an example, and is not limited to this.

 [0056] The point calculation processing means 3 further obtains an ascending point and a descending point of the corresponding rank above the corresponding rank of the player from the rank information storage means 9. Extract and further calculate how many points until ascending and how many points until descending. Since player A and player B are both two-stage, the point calculation processing means 3 has an ascending point (26800) that is one rank higher than the second rank from the rank-level information storage means 9 (three stages) (26800). The two descending points (24400) and are extracted, compared with the current point, and calculated.

 [0057] Then, in the case of player A, 50 points to the ascending point to the third step (current point ascending point up one point), 2350 points to the descending point from the second step (current point current point) It is calculated that it is a step down point). Compared with the points when winning at S230, the point calculation processing means 3 is that the point when winning> the rising point that is one step higher (three steps), so that if you win, you can move up to three steps. Can be judged.

 [0058] In the case of player B, 2350 points are calculated for the ascending point to the third level, and 50 points are calculated for the descending point from the second level. Compared with the point when losing at S230, the point calculation processing means 3 is that the point at the time of losing is the current step (two steps) descending point. Can be judged.

[0059] When the point calculation processing means 3 calculates the increase / decrease point, the current point, the ascending point, the descending point, and the ascending or descending point, the point notifying process means 4 indicates each game. Player terminal 10 (player terminal 10A, player terminal 10B) via communication device 22 (S240). Therefore, the player terminal 10A will receive 26750 as the current point, 100 points will be added as the points when winning, 100 points will be subtracted as the points when losing, and points as the points when winning 26850, 26650 as the point of losing, 3800 ascending point 26800, descending point 24400 of the 2nd step force, etc. Further, when winning, a notification is sent to the third step. . Also, the player terminal 10B has 24450 as the current point, 100 points are added as the points when winning, 100 points are subtracted as the points when losing, and 24550 as points when winning Then, 24350 is notified as a point when losing, and when losing further, a notification is sent to the effect that the power will be lowered by two steps (ie, the first step will be lowered).

[0060] These notifications are received via the network 11 by the player terminal 10A and the player terminal 10B.

 (S250), the notification is displayed on the screen of the player terminal 10A and the player terminal 10B (S260). Figure 12 shows this screen. Figure 12 (a) shows advance notice to player A, and Figure 12 (b) shows advance notice to player B. By notifying the points at the time of winning or losing before playing in this way

Therefore, the player can have a sense of expectation for ascending and tension for descending, and the game will be fulfilled.

 [0061] After the screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the player terminal 10A and the player terminal 10B, the player A and the player B play the game of Go as in the past on the game screen shown in FIG. Perform (S270). This game processing is realized by the game processing means 2, but can be realized in the same manner as in the past.

 [0062] When the game between player A and player B is completed (S280), the point update processing means 5 calculates the player information according to the points calculated by the point calculation processing means 3 in S230. A new point is updated by adding to or subtracting from the current point stored in the storage means 8 (S290). For example, when player A wins, 100 points are added to player A, so player A's point in player information storage means 8 is updated to 26850 points and stored. In this case, since player B has lost, point B is subtracted from player B by 100 points. Therefore, the point of the player B in the player information storage means 8 is updated to 24 350 points and stored.

[0063] On the other hand, when the player A loses, 100 points are subtracted from the player A, so the player A's point in the player information storage means 8 is updated to 26650 points and stored. . In this case, Player B wins, so Player B will be rewarded with 100 points. Therefore, the point of player A in player information storage means 8 is updated to 24550 points and stored.

 [0064] When new points are updated in this way, the rank update processing means 6 stores the updated points stored in the player information storage means 8 and the rank information storage means 9 in the rank information storage means 9. The stored ascending point 'Checking against the descending point (S300), it is determined whether there is any change in the rank.

 [0065] If Player A wins, Player A's updated point is 26850 points, so it will be updated when collated with the ascending point one level above the current level (three levels). Since the point (26850) is higher than the next higher step point (26800), the player A can determine that the player A has stepped up to three steps. Accordingly, the rank level update processing means 6 updates the rank level of the player A in the player information storage means 8 from the second level to the third level. In this case, since Player B loses, Player B's updated point is 24350 points. Then, when compared with the current step down point, the updated point (24350) is the current step down point (24400), so Player B must step down from the second step. The rank update processing means 6 can determine. Accordingly, the rank update processing means 6 updates the rank of player B in the player information storage means 8 from the second to the first rank.

 [0066] On the other hand, when player A loses, player A's updated point is 26650 points, so it was updated when comparing with the current stage (second stage) descending point rather than the current stage The level update processing means 6 can determine that the level of the player A is not changed based on the fact that the point (26650) is greater than the current level (24400). In this case, since Player B wins, Player B's updated points are 24550 points. Then, when compared with the ascending point of the level one level higher than the current level (three levels), the updated point (24550) <ascending point (26800) one level above! Therefore, the rank update processing means 6 can determine that the rank of the player B is not changed.

[0067] For the player who wins in this way, the rank update processing means 6 collates the updated point with the ascending point of the next higher level, and the updated point is the higher level. If it is equal to or higher than the escalation point of the player, the player's rank that has been won is updated to the next higher rank. Store in the information storage means 8. For a lost player, the rank update processing means 6 compares the updated point with the current step down point, and the updated point is less than the down point (or less). If so, the level of the losing player is updated to the next lower level and stored in the player information storage means 8. In other cases, the level is not updated.

 [0068] In this way, by setting a width between the ascending point and the descending point, where the ascending point and the descending point are not the same, it is possible to easily raise and lower the rank level as in the past. Can be prevented. Also, in the case of Go, the difference in rank rank directly leads to a non-dicap, so it is desirable that the rank rank reflects the ability more accurately than shogi or chess. In the past, the ascending point and the descending point are the same, so the rank is easily raised and lowered, and the power that had difficulty in handicap accuracy. Even if you lose immediately, it does not descend immediately, so it reflects your ability more accurately.

FIG. 13 shows a conceptual diagram of the present invention in which the ascending point and the descending point are different as described above.

[0070] Ascending point in S300 'When the descending point is determined by the rank update processing means 6, a new player is added to the player terminal 10 of the winning player whose updated point is above the ascending point. The rank notification processing means 7 transmits that the level has been updated to the correct rank via the communication device 22 (S310, S320). This notification is received by the player terminal 10 of the winning player (S330), and a new rank is displayed on the screen (S340).

[0071] Further, when the rank upgrade processing means 6 determines the ascending point / descending point, a new player's player terminal 10 whose updated point is lower than the descending point is renewed. The rank notification processing means 7 transmits that the rank has been updated via the communication device 22 (S350, S360). This notification is received by the player terminal 10 of the losing player (S370), and the new rank is displayed on the screen (S380).

The game system 1 of the present invention is realized by performing the processing as described above.

[0073] In the above-described point calculation processing means 3 of S230, the case of players having the same rank is described. However, for example, when player A and player C play, different ranks are used. It becomes. Therefore, the adjustment rate shown in FIG. Specifically, first, the point calculation processing unit 3 extracts the ranks, points, and number of players of the player A and the player C from the player information storage unit 8. Player A has two stages, and Player C has four stages, and the number of players is 101 or more, so there are two stages and the adjustment rate is ± 28%. So, if player A wins, if player A's current point (26750) is 128 (= 100 X (1 + 0.28)), he will lose 26878 points, and player A will lose S Subtracts player A's current point (26750) force 78 (= 100 X (1-0.28)) 26672 points, and if player C wins, player C's current point (29500 ) Minus 78 (= 100 X (1-0. 28)) 29578 points, if player C loses, player C's current point (29500) force is also 128 (= 100 X (1 + 0 28) Subtract) to calculate 2937 2 points each.

 [0075] In other words, if the player with the lower rank wins the player with the higher rank, the point obtained by adding the points for the adjustment rate to the basic point is added to the current point, and the player with the lower rank If the player loses to the player, the points obtained by subtracting the points corresponding to the adjustment rate from the basic points will be subtracted from the current points. If the player with the higher rank wins the player with the lower rank, the point obtained by subtracting the points for the adjustment rate from the basic point is added to the current point. When losing, the point obtained by adding the adjustment rate points from the basic point is subtracted from the current point.

 [0076] Usually, a player having a higher rank is more likely to win a player having a lower rank. Therefore, by adding the adjustment rate in this way, if the person with the lower rank wins, the point for the adjustment ratio is added to the basic point as a bonus as Venus, so even if the person with the lower rank loses, Since it is normal, the point for the adjustment rate is subtracted from the basic point. Furthermore, even if the person with the higher rank wins, it is normal, so the point for the adjustment rate is subtracted from the basic point, and if the player with the higher rank loses, the adjustment rate is divided as a penalty. Is added to the base point. By configuring in this way, even if there is a difference in level, it is possible to play with tension and expectation from each other.

 [0077] When the number of games is small, the basic point itself may be moved up and down as shown in FIG.

[0078] In addition, when the adjustment rate is added in this way, the difference in level of the player is open. It is good to use when there is no handicap (when not placing). This is because it is thought that it is not necessary to adjust the result points of the game because the game is originally handicapped.

 Industrial applicability

 [0079] According to the game system 1 of Go of the present invention, the player's point does not frequently go up and down in a short period of time between the ascending (raising) and descending (degrading) points. It can prevent up and down, and can improve user's pity.

 [0080] Then, the game system 1 takes into account the unique feature of Go, a handicap based on rank, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved as compared with the conventional game.
